Psalm 37 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.86 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment of sinners First Line: Why should I vex my soul, and fret Lyrics:
Why should I vex my soul, and fret
To see the wicked rise?
Or envy sinners waxing great
By violence and lies?
As flowery grass, cut down at noon,
Before the ev'ning fades,
So shall their glories vanish soon
In everlasting shades.
Then let me make the Lord my trust,
And practise all that's good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And he'll provide me food.
I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait his will;
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfil.
Mine innocence shalt thou display,
And make thy judgments known,
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.
The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of heav'n;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are giv'n.
Rest in the Lord, and keep his way,
Nor let your anger rise,
Though Providence should long delay
To punish haughty vice.
Let sinners join to break your peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for he sees
Their day of vengeance come.
They have drawn out the threat'ning sword,
Have bent the murd'rous bow,
To slay the men that fear the Lord,
And bring the righteous low.
My God shall break their bows, and burn
Their persecuting darts,
Shall their own swords against them turn,
And pain surprise their hearts.

Psalm 81
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.171 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment and salvation; Spiritual blessings and punishments First Line: Sing to the Lord aloud Lyrics:
Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Savior God;
Let Isr'el hear his voice.
"From vile idolatry
Preserve my worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free
From slavery and sin.
"Stretch thy desires abroad,
And I'll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God,
If Isr'el will rebel;
"I'll leave them," saith the Lord,
"To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dang'rous road,
'Tis their own chosen way.
"Yet, O! that all my saints
Would hearken to my voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
And bid their hearts rejoice.
"While I destroy their foes,
I'd richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows
From their eternal rock."

Psalm 81
O GOD, whose former Mercies make
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CIX (1767) Topics: Prophecies Of Judas, his Punishment Lyrics: 1 O GOD, whose former Mercies make
My constant Praise thy Due,
Hold not thy Peace, but my sad State,
With wonted Favours view.
For sinful Men, with lying Lips,
Deceitful Speeches frame,
And with their study'd Slander seek
To wound my spotless Fame.
2 Their restless Hatred prompts them still
Malicious Lies to spread;
And all against my Life combine,
By causeless Fury led.
Those whom with tender'st Love I us'd,
My chief Opposers are;
Whilst I, of other Friends bereft,
Resort to thee by Pray'r.
3 Since Mischief, for the Good I did,
Their strange Reward does prove,
And Hatred's the Return they make
For undissembled Love,
Their guilty Leaders shall be made
To some ill Man a Slave;
And, when he's try'd, his mortal Foe
For his Accuser have.
4 His Guilt, when Sentence is pronounc'd,
Shall meet a dreadful Fate,
Whilst his rejected Pray'r but serves
His Crimes to aggravate,
He, snatch'd by some untimely Fate,
Sha'n't live out half his Days:
Another, by divine Decree,
Shall on his Office seize.
5 His Seed shall Orphans be, his Wife
A Widow, plung'd in Grief;
His vagrant Children beg their Bread,
Where none can give Relief.
His ill-got Riches shall be made
To Usurers a Prey;
The Fruit of all his Toil shall be
By Strangers borne away.
6 None shall be found that to his Wants
Their Mercy will extend,
Or to his helpless Orphan Seed
The least Assistance lend.
A swift Destruction soon shall seize
On his unhappy Race;
And the next Age his hated Name
Shall utterly deface.
7 The Vengeance of his Father's Sins,
Upon his Head shall fall;
GOD on his Mother's Crimes shall think,
And punish him for all.
All these. in horrid Order rank'd,
Before the LORD shall stand,
Till his fierce Anger quite cuts off
Their Mem'ry from the Land.
Part II
8 Because he never Mercy shew'd,
But still the Poor oppress'd;
And sought to slay the helpless Man,
With heavy Woes distress'd.
Therefore the Curse he lov'd to vent,
Shall his own Portion prove;
And Blessings, which he still abhorr'd,
Shall far from him remove.
9 Since he in cursing took such Pride,
Like Water it shall spread
Through all his Veins, and stick like Oil,
With which his Bones are fed.
This, like a poison'd Robe, shall still
His constant Cov'ring be,
Or an envonom'd Belt, from which
He never shall be free.
10 Thus shall the LORD reward all those,
That ill to me design,
That with malicious false Reports
Against my Life combine.
But for thy glorious Name, O GOD,
Do thou deliver me;
And for thy gracious Mercy's sake,
Preserve and set me free.
11 For I, to utmost Straits reduc'd,
Am void of all Relief;
My Heart is wounded with Distress,
And quite pierc'd through with Grief.
I, like an Ev'ning Shade, decline,
Which vanishes apace:
Like Locusts up and down I'am toss'd,
And have no certain Place.
12 My Knees with Fasting are grown weak,
My body lank and lean;
All that behold me, shake their Heads,
And treat me with Disdain.
But for thy Mercy's sake, O LORD,
Do thou my Foes withstand;
That all may see 'tis thy own Act,
The Work of thy Right-Hand.
13 Then let them curse, so thou but bless;
Let Shame the Portion be
Of all that my Destruction seek,
While I rejoice in thee.
My Foe shall with Disgrace be cloath'd;
And, spite of all his Pride,
His own Confusion, like a Cloke,
The guilty Wretch shall hide.
14 But I to GOD, in grateful Thanks,
My chearful Voice will raise;
And where the great Assembly meets,
Set forth his noble Praise.
For him the Poor shall always find
Their sure and constant Friend;
And he shall from unrighteous Dooms
Their guiltless Souls defend. Scripture: Psalm 109 Languages: English Tune Title: [O God whose former Mercies make]

The Law by Moses came
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXVIII (1766) Topics: Punishment fo Win; Unbelief punished Lyrics: 1 The Law by Moses came,
But Peace, and Truth, and Love,
Were brought by Christ (a nobler Name)
Descending from above.
2 Amidst the House of God
Their diff'rent Works were done;
Moses a faithful Servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
3 Then to his new Commands
Be strict Obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's House he stands
The Sov'reign and the Head.
4 The Man that durst despise
The Law that Moses brought;
Behold! how terribly he dies
for his presumptuous Fault.
5 But sorer Vengeance falls
On that rebellious Race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his Grace.

In God Will I Trust, Though My Counselors Say
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #17 (1934) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 In God will I trust, though my counselors say,
O flee as a bird to your mountain away;
The wicked are strong and the righteous are weak,
Foundations are shaken, yet God will I seek.
2 The Lord in His temple shall ever abide,
His throne is eternal, whatever betide;
The children of men He beholds from on high,
The wicked to punish, the righteous to try.
3 The Lord is most righteous, the Lord loves the right,
The evil He hates and will surely requite;
The wicked His anger will drive from their place,
The upright in rapture shall gaze on His face. Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English Tune Title: PROTECTION

Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.1 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment of sinners First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics:
Blest is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat:
But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
[He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Amongst the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.
His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell.

Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.2 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment of sinners First Line: The man is ever blessed Lyrics:
The man is ever blessed
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place;
But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live;
His works are heav'nly fruit.
Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
He knows, and he approves,
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.3 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Punishment of sinners First Line: Happy the man whose cautious feet Lyrics:
Happy the man whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way that sinners go,
Who hates the place where atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
He loves t' employ the morning light
Amongst the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure, pondering o'er his word.
He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green.
And heav'n will shine with kindest beams
On every work his hands begin.
But sinners find their counsels crossed:
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge, with stern command,
Divides him to a diff'rent place.
"Straight is the way my saints have trod;
I blessed the path, and drew it plain;
But you would choose the crooked road,
And down it leads to endless pain."

Psalm 1
Psalm 11
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.22 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Punishment of sinners First Line: My refuge is the God of love Lyrics:
My refuge is the God of love;
Why do my foes insult and cry,
"Fly like a tim'rous, trembling dove,
To distant woods or mountains fly?"
If government be all destroyed,
(That firm foundation of our peace,)
And violence make justice void,
Where shall the righteous seek redress?
The Lord in heav'n has fixed his throne,
His eye surveys the world below:
To him all mortal things are known,
His eyelids search our spirits through.
If he afflicts his saints so far,
To prove their love and try their grace,
What may the bold transgressors fear?
His very soul abhors their ways.
On impious wretches he shall rain
Tempests of brimstone, fire, and death;
Such as he kindled on the plain
Of Sodom, with his angry breath.
The righteous Lord loves righteous souls,
Whose thoughts and actions are sincere;
And with a gracious eye beholds
The men that his own image bear.
