LORD, hear the Voice of my Complaint

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXIV (1767) Topics: Description of Slander and Backbiting Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear the Voice of my Complaint, And to my humble Pray'r give Ear; Preserve my Life from cruel Foes, And free my troubled Soul from Fear; Hide me in some secure Retreat; The Plots of all my Foes defeat. 2 See how, intent to work my Harm, They whet their Tongues like sharpen'd Swords, And bend their Bows to shoot their Darts, Destructive Lies, and bitter Words: In secret, void of Fear and Shame, They at the Just direct their Aim. 3 To carry on their ill Designs, In frequent Councils they agree; They speak of laying private Snares, And vainly think that none shall see: With Care their wicked Plots they lay; Their Hearts designing to betray. 4 But GOD, to Anger justly mov'd, His dreadful Bows shall surely bend; And on his flying Arrow's Point Against them swift Destruction send: Their Slander on themselves shall fall, And they be scorn'd and shunn'd by all. 5 The World shall then GOD's Pow'r confess, And frighten'd Nations trembling stand; Convinc'd that 'tis the mighty Work, Of his uprais'd avenging Hand: For they shall see his Pow'r, and own That he is GOD supreme alone. 6 Whilst righteous Men whom he secures, Shall in his Mercy gladly trust; and all the list'nign Earth shall hear, The glorious Triumphs of the Just; The true of heart shall bless his Name, And to the world their Joy proclaim.

O GOD, whose former Mercies make

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CIX (1767) Topics: Description of Slander and Backbiting 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.
