O LORD, the Rock of my Defence

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXVIII (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 O LORD, the Rock, of my Defence, My certain Hope and Confidence, Do thou in tender Mercy hear, Thy Servant's earnest hymble Pray'r; Lest I in Sighs consume my Breath. And fall like those who sleep in Death. 2 Attend the Cries of my Distress, Hear me whom many Woes oppress; Nor cast me from thy Mercy_Seat; Lest I the Sinners Doom= should meet, Who make a Trade of doing Ill, And speak them fair they mean to kill. 3 According as they have dsign'd, So let them, LORD, thy Justice find; As they without Remorse transgress'd, And have the Innocent oppress'd: Be thou, O LORD, relentless too, And let thy Vengeance them pursue. 4 The Works of GOD they ne'er respect, But still with Scorn his Grace reject; Against his Saints they Wiles employ, The LORD will build them up no more. 5 To GOD my Song shall be address'd, Who heard the Voice of me distress'd; In him my Confidence was plac'd, And I return'd with Triumphs grac'd; My grateful Heart shall therefore raise, This chearful Tribute to his Praise. 6 'Tis by his Pow'r I am sustain'd, "His Arm hath still my Cause maintain'd; "'Twas He advanc'd me to the Throne, "I reign secure through him alone." Thy Chosen, LORD, with Plenty bless, And in their Battles grant Success. Scripture: Psalm 28 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Lord, the Rock of my defence]

Preserve me, LORD from crafty Foes

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXL (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Preserve me, LORD, from crafty Foes Of base and treacherous Intent; And from the Sons of Violence, On Strife and open Mischief bent. 2 Their sland'ring Tongues the Serpent's Sting, Though keen, in Sharpness does exceed: Between their Lips the Gall of Asps And Adder's mortal Venom breed. 3 Preserve me, LORD, from wicked Hands, Nor leave my helpless Soul forlorn, A Prey to Sons of Violence, Who have my utter Ruin sworn. 4 The Proud for me have laid their Snare, And spread abroad their wily Net; With Traps and Gins, where e'er I move, I find my dang'rous Steps beset. 5 But thus, environ'd with Distress, Thou art my only GOD, I said; LORD, hear my supplicating Voice, That calls to thee for Aid. 6 O LORD, the GOD, whose saving Strength, Kind Succour did to me convey; And cover'd my advent'rous Head, In the fierce Battle's doubtful Day. 7 Permit not their unjust Designs To answer their base Heart's Desire; Lest they, encourag'd by Success, Should yet to bolder Crimes aspire. 8 Let first their Chiefs the sad Effects Of their unjust Oppression mourn; The Blast of their envenom'd Breath, Do thou upon themselves return. 9 Let them, who kindled first the Flame, The first it's Sacrifice become; The Pit Which they design'd for me, Be made their own untimely Tomb. 10 Though Sland'rer's Breath may raise a Storm, That fleeting Breath will quick decay; Their Rage does but the Torrent swell, That bears themselves by Force away. 11 GOD will assert the poor Man's Cause, And speedy Help and Succour give; The Just shall celebrate his Praise, And in his Presence ever live. Scripture: Psalm 140 Languages: English Tune Title: [Preserve me, Lord, from crafty Foes]

Since in the LORD my Hope secure is plac'd

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XI (1767) Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Since in the LORD my Hope secureis plac'd, Who is to me a Refuge ever nigh: Why say ye to my Soul, "Away, make haste! "And like a Bird to distant Mountains fly?" Behold, the Wicked hath his Bow prepar'd, And lurking doth in secret Places lie, That so th' upright in Heart may be enshar'd. 2 When once the firm Assurance fail, Which publick Faith should to the Just impart; 'Tis Time for Innocence, which can't avail, To fly in Haste from such deceitful Art; But GOD his Seat of Judgment will erect; He hates the wicked Man, and knows his Heart, And will his secret crafty Wiles detect. 3 If GOD, the Just, in whom his Soul is pleas'd, With heavy Trials often doth correct; How shall his waken'd Vengeance be appeas'd? What must the Sinful from his Wrath expect? With Fire and Brimstone shall they be distress'd, And dreadful Storms shall punish their Neglect, While righteous Men are with his Favour bless'd. Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English Tune Title: [Since in the Lord my Hope secure is plac'd]

Joseph Confronting his Brethren

Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XXIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Patriarchal Types, and Prophecies of Christ First Line: Smote to the heart, by conscious guilt Lyrics: 1 Smote to the heart, by conscious guilt Of wrong, intended Joseph's blood, His trembling brethren sue for peace, And dread chastisement's iron rod. 2 Though evil they—yet Joseph good, Comforts, speaks kind, wipes off their tears, And standing as the type of God, Removes each doubt—and calms all fears. 3 Thus does the soul of sinful men, Heap indignation, anguish, wrath; Till heav'n's own purpose in the plan, Gleams mercy round his clouded path. 4 Lord, thou art good—supremely good! No condemnation comes from thee: When enemies redeem'd by blood; Much more, thy life shall set us free. Scripture: Genesis 50:20 Languages: English

Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LVIII (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth, If just and right your Sentence be; Or must not Innocence at last, Appeal to Heav'n from your Decree? Your wicked Hearts and Judgements are, By Malice most unjustly sway'd; Your griping Hands, by weighty Bribes, Are still to Violence betray'd. 2 To Virtue Strangers from the Womb, Their Infant Steps went always wrong; Thy prattled Slander, and in Lies Employ'd at first their infant Tongue. No Serpent, of parch'd Afric's Breed, Did ever ranker Poison bear; The drowsy Adder will as soon, Unlock to Truth his sullen Ear. 3 Unmov'd by good Advice, and deaf As stupid Adders they remain, From whom the skillful Charmer's Voice, Can by no Means Attention gain. Defeat, O GOD, their threat'ning Rage, And timely break their growing Pow'r: Do thou disarm these Lions' Jaws, Before they're practis'd to devour. 4 Let now their Insolence, at Height, Like ebbing Tides, be quickly spent; Their shiver'd Darts deceive their Aim, When they their warlike Bows have bent. Like Snails, let them dissolve to Slime, Let them like hasty Births become; Unworthy to behold the Sun, Let them be dead within the Womb. 5 E'er Thorns can make the Flesh-pot boil, Tempestuous Wrath shall quickly come From GOD, and snatch them hence alive, To their eternal dismal Doom. The Righteous shall rejoice to see, Their daring Crimes such Vengeance meet, And Saints in Persecutors' Blood Shall safely dip their harmless Feet. 6 Transgressors then with Grief shall see, The Righteous due Rewards obtain, And own a GOD, whose Justice will, Or soon, or late the Earth arraign. Scripture: Psalm 58 Languages: English Tune Title: [Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth]

The heathen hosts, O God

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXIX (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 The Heathen Hosts, O GOD! Have thy Possession seiz'd; Thy sacred House defil'd, Thy holy City raz'd. The Bodies of thy Saints, Abroad unburied lay; Their Flesh expos'd to Beasts, Or rav'nous Birds a Prey. 2 Their Blood, like Water, was Around Jerus'lem shed; And none were left to pay The Duties to the Dead: The Foe our small Remains With loud Reproaches wound; And are made the Sport Of all the Nations round. 3 How long wilt thou be wrathj? LORD, must we ever mourn? And shall thy jealous Rage, Like Fire for ever burn? Our Lands that know not thee, Thy heavy Vengeance show'r; Those Kingdoms let it crush, That have not own'd thy Pow'r. 4 Their hungry Jaws have prey'd On Jacob's chosen Race; And to a Desart turn'd, Their fruitful Dwelling Place. O think not on our Sins, But speedily prevent The Ruin of thy Saints, Almost with Sorrow spent. 5 Thy Help, O GOD, impart And free our Souls from Blame, So shall thy wond'rous Love Exalt thy glorious Name. Let Infidels that say, "Where is the GOD they boast"? In Vengeance, for thy Saints, Perceive thee to their Cost. 6 LORD, hear the Pris'ner's Moans! Thy saving Pow'r extend; Preserve them, doom'd to die, From their untimely End! Those who blaspheme thy Name, Do thou, O GOD, destroy; Against the Nations round, Resistless Pow'r employ. 7 For they have us opprest; Then let them be repaid, With Sorrows sev'n Times more Than what on us they laid. So we thy humble Flock, Shall ever praise thy Name; And our unwearied Thanks, From Age to Age proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English Tune Title: [The Heathen Hosts, O God]

The King, O LORD! with Songs of Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXI (1767) Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 The King, O LORD! with Songs of Praise, Shall in thy Strength rejoice; And with a chearful Voice. To thee shall lofty Anthems raise. With thy Salvation crown'd, He awes the Nations round. 2 For whatsoe'er his Lips request, Thou dost to him impart, The Wishes of his Heart. Thou hast with thy Acceptance bless'd; And to his humble Pray'r Didst lend a gracious Ear. 3 Thy Mercy and thy tender Care, Thou dost to him extend; A Crown of Gold thou mad'st him wear, Which ever shall endure, Since thou hast fix'd it sure. 4 He pray'd for Life, and thou, O LORD, Didst to his Pray'r attend His span thou didst extend; And kindly did to him afford, A Life of endless Joy, Which Death can ne'er destroy. 5 Thy sure Defence shall spread his Fame Through all the Nations round; His Deeds with Triumph crown'd Shall far advance his glorious Name; His Foes shall Homage pay, To his superior Sway. 6 Eternal Blessings thou bestow'st, And on his Royal Head, Dost tender Mercies shed: Whilst thou to him unclouded, shew'st The Brightness of thy Face. And mak'st his Joys encrease; Part II 7 Because the King on GOD alone, For timely Aid relies, The LORD his Wants supplies; His Mercy still supports his Throne, Against each daring Foe, That him would overthrow. 8 But, righteous LORD, thy stubborn Foes, shall not secure remain, Nor long their Place maintain; Thy vengeful Arm shall find out those, Who in Defiance stand, Of thy most just Command. 9 When Thou against them dost engage, And thy dread Pow'r employ; Their Forces to destroy: Thy Wrath shall, like an Oven's Rage, Them and their Hopes and them consume, In one tremendous Doom. 10 Nor shalt thy righteous Anger cease, Or with their Ruin end; But to their Seed extend; To root out all their guilty Race, And from the Page of Fame, Blot out their very Name. 11 For all their Thoughts, engag'd on Ill, To Malice were resign'd, And wicked Schemes design'd; But thou with watchful Care didst still The bad Effects prevent, On their most base Intent. 12 In vain, by shameful Flight they try, To shun thy dreadful Pow'r, Whilst thou dost round them show'r Thy fatal Darts, that swiftly fly, And with restless Might, O'ertake them in their Flight. 13 Thus, LORD, thy wond'rous Strength disclose, And thus with Glory crown'd, Be thy great Deeds renown'd; Whilst we glad Songs of Praise compose, To magnify the Fame Of thy most holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 21 Languages: English Tune Title: [The King, O Lord, with songs of praise]

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XCVII (1767) Topics: Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Coming and Government Lyrics: 1 The LORD himself is King, O let the Earth rejoice; Yea, let the Isles be glad And shout with chearful Voice: Darkness and awful Clouds, His Glory shroud in State; Judgment and Righteousness, As close Attendants wait, At his Pavillion Gate. 2 Before him raging Flames, His Foes with Vengeance struck, His Lightnings shone Abroad, And Earth with Terror shook: The Hills with one Accord, Like Wax before him melt; Their Heights no Help afford, In Presence of the LORD. 3 The Heav'ns, his Truth to show, With Fire his Foes pursu'd: The trembling World below, His awful Glory view'd. Confounded be their Host, Who worship Day be Day Carv'd Idols, made with Hands; Ye Gods to whom they pray, To him your Homage pay. 4 Sion thy Triumph heard, And Judah was o'erjoy'd; Because thy Judgments, LORD, Have Pagan Pride destroy'd: For thou art seated high, On thy exalted Throne, Unrival'd in the Sky, Both Earth and Heaav'n shall own, That thou art GOD alone. 5 All ye who love the LORD, Hate Sin, and Truth esteem; He will from wicked Men, His Servant's Soul redeem: A glorious Light springs up, And Joy the Just shall bless; Ye Righteous praise the LORD, With thankful tongues confess, His Truth and Holiness.
