Bless'd is he, who fears the LORD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXII (1767) Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Bless'd is he, who fears the LORD, And does his Laws obye, Great his Seed shall be on Earth, His Race shall not decay. Crown'd with Wealth his House shall be, To Mercy still inclin'd; Though in Trouble, he shall shine, The Blessing of Mankind. 2 Ort he lendeth to the Poor, His Words are always just; And his Glory shall survive, Though he should sleep in Dust. Him ill Tidings shall not move, Whose Heart on GOD relies; But in Safety see the Fall Of all his Enemies. 3 To the Needy he bestows, And doth their Wants supply; Thus his Righteousness shall last, His Horn be rais'd on high. This the Wicked shall behold, And gnash their Teeth in Pain; Whilst their Hopes but fruitless prove, And all their Wishes vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English Tune Title: [Bless'd is he, who fears the Lord]

Deliver me, O LORD, my GOD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LIX (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Deliver me, O LORD. my GOD, From all my cruel spiteful Foes; In my Defence exert thy Pow'r, To quell their Rage who me oppose: Preserve me from a wicked Race, Who make a Trade of doing Ill; Protect me from remorseless Men, Who daily seek my Blood to spill. 2 They lie in wait, and mighty Pow'rs Against my harmless Life combine, Implacable; yet LORD, Thou know'st, 'Tis done for no Offence of mine. In Haste they run about, and watch, IN Snares my guiltless Life to take; Look down, O LORD, on my Distress, And to my speedy Help awake! 3 Thou LORD of Hosts, and Israel's GOD, Their Heathen Rage at once suppress; Relentless Vengeance take on those, Who still most stubbornly transgress. At Evening, to beset my House, Like hungry growling Dogs they meet, While others thro' the City range, And lawless ransack ev'ry Street. 4 Their Throats envenom'd Slander breathe; Their Tongues are keen like sharpen'd Swords; "Who hears, (say they) or hearing, dares "Reprove or check our lawless Words?" But from thy awful Throne O LORD, Thou shalt their baffled Plots deride, And soon to Scorn and Shame expose, Their so much boasted heathen Pride. 5 On thee I wait; 'tis on thy Strength, For timely Succour I depend: 'Tis thou, O GOD, art my Defence, For thou alone canst me defend. Thy Mercy, LORD, which has so oft, From threat'ning Dangers set me free, Shall crown my Wishes, and at last Subdue my haughty Foes to me. Part II 6 Destroy them not, O LORD, at once, Restrain a while thy vengeful Blow; Lest we ungratefully, too soon Forget their sudden Overthrow. Disperse them thro' the Nations round, O GOD, by thy avenging Pow'r! Do thou bring down their haughty Pride, For thou art still our Shield and Tow'r. 7 Now in the Height of all their Hopes, Their growing Arrogance chastise, Whose Tongues have sinn'd without Restraint, And join'd to bitter Curses Lies: Nor shalt thou, whilst their Race endures, Thy righteous Anger, LORD, suppress, That distant Lands, by their just Doom, May Israel's powerful GOD confess. 8 At Evening let them still persist, Like hungry growling Dogs to meet; Still wander all the City round, And lawless traverse every Street: Then, as for Malice now they do, For pinching Hunger let them stray, And yell their vain Complaints aloud, Defeated of their wish'd-for Prey. 9 Whilst early I thy Mercy sing, And thy amazing Pow'r confess: For Thou hast been my sure Defence, My only Refuge in Distress. To thee, with never ceasing Praise, O GOD, my Strength! I'll loudly sing: Thou art my GOD, my Rock, from whence My Health, my Life, ny Safety spring. Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English Tune Title: [Deliver me, O Lord, my God]

Give Ear, thou Judge of all the Earth

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LV (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Give Ear, thou Judge of all the Earth, And listen when to thee I pray; Nor from thy humble Suppliant turn, Thy glorious Face, O LORD, away; Do thou bow down thy gracious Ear, Whilst I my mournful Case declare. 2 Hark, how the Foe insults aloud, And how my fierce Oppressors rage; Whose sland'ring Tongues against my Fame, With growing Malice still engage. My Soul's with trembling Fears distress'd, My Heart with Horror quite oppress'd. 3 How often wish I then, that I The Dove's swift soaring Wings could get; That I might take my speedy Flight, And find out some secure Retreat: Then would I through wild Desarts stray, 'Till this fierce Storm had pass'd away. 4 Destroy, O LORD, their ill Designs, Do thou their Counsels soon divide; For through the City my griev'd Eyes, Have nought but Strife and Rapine spy'd: Within her Walls they walk their round, Where Grief and Mischief still is found. 5 Whoe'er through every Part shall roam, Shall ever fresh Disorders meet; Deceit and Guile their constant Posts, Have still maintain'd in ev'ry Street: Daily their wicked Plots encrease, Their treach'rous Actions never cease. 6 'Twas not my open Foe profess'd Who these severe Reflections made; For then I could with Ease have borne, The many bitter Things he said: And when he did against me rise, Have hid from his malicious Eyes. 7 But 'twas ev'n thou, my Guide my Friend, Whom tend'rest Love to me did join; Whose sweet Advice I valued most, Whose Pray'rs were always mix'd with mine: Ev'n thou, whose Converse I approv'd, My Bosom Friend, whom most I lov'd. 8 Sure Vengeance, equal to their Crimes, Such faithless Traitors must surprise; And sudden Death requite those Ills, Which they with wickedly Hearts devise: But GOD shall in my Aid appear, And Night and Day my Voice shall hear. 9 GOD has releas'd my Soul from those, That did against my Life contend; And made a num'rous Host of Friends, At length my righteous Cause defend: The LORD my mournful Voice shall hear, And punish those who know no Fear. 10 Whom can I trust, if faithless Men, With secret Treachery devise To ruin me, their peaceful Friend, And basely break the strongest Ties: 21 Tho' soft and melting are their Words, Their Hearts with War and Strife abound, Their Words though smooth like Daggers wound. and yet like Swords they wound. 11 Do thou, my Soul, on GOD depend, And he shall thy Life sustain; He aids the Just, whom to supplant, The Wicked ever strive in vain: My Foes shall all untimely die; Whilst I for Health on GOD rely.

He's bless'd whose tender Care

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XLI (1767) Topics: Prophecies Of Judas, the Traitor Lyrics: 1 He's bless'd whose tender Care, Relieves the Poor distress'd, When Troubles gather round, The LORD shall give him Rest; His Life with Blessings crown'd, The LORD shall sure prolong; And check the Will of those, Who seek to do him Wrong. 2 If he, in low Estate, Oppress'd with Sickness lie, The LORD will Comfort send, And inward Strength supply; Secure of this, to GOD, I thus my Pray'r address'd, "LORD, heal my wounded Soul, "For I have much trasgress'd!" 3 My Foes, with sland'ring Words, Attempt to wound my Fame; "When shall he die," say they, "And Men forget his Name?" Suppose they Visits make, 'Tis all but empty Show; They gather Mischief then, And vent it when they go. 4 With Whispers, such as these, To hurt me they devise, "His Doom a length is come, "He's fall'n, no more to rise." My own familiar Friend, On whom I most rely'd, Has me, whose Guest he was, With open Scorn defy'd. 5 But thou, my wretched State, In Mercy, LORD, regard, And raise me up, that they May meet their just Reward. Thou suffer'st not my Foes, To triumph in my Fall. Therefore I know thine Ear, Is open when I call. 6 My Life thou dost secure, From Danger and Disgrace; And thou shalt set me still, Before thy glorious Face: Let therefore Israel's LORD From Ages to Age be blest, And all the People's Joy With loud Amen's exprest Scripture: Psalm 41 Languages: English Tune Title: [He's bless'd whose tender care]

Hold not thy Peace O LORD, our GOD!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXXIII (1767) Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Hold not thy Peace, O LORD, our GOD! Do thou no longer silent be; Nor with consenting quiet Looks Our dreadful Ruin calmly see. For lo! the Tumults of thy Foes P'er all the Land begin to spread; And those who hate thy Saints and thee, Lift up with Joy their threat'ning Head. 2 Against thy zealous People LORD! They all, with Treachery, combine; And to destroy thy chosen Race In secret lay, their close Design. "Come let us cut them off, they say, "Let us their Nation quite deface; "That no Remembrance, may henceforth "Remain of Isr'el's hated Race." 3 Against thee, and thy Peoples Peace, Thus they consult with one Consent, And different Nations jointly leagu'd, Their common Spite and Malice vent. The Ishmaelites that dwell in Tents, With warlike Edom's Forces join'd, And Moab's Sons, our Ruin seek With Hagar's num'rous Race combin'd. 4 Proud Ammon's Offspring, Gebal too With daring Amalek conspire: The LORDs of Palestine, and all The haughty Sons of wealthy Tyre. All those for their secure Ally, The strong Assyrian King have got; Who with a powerful Army, means To aid th'incestuous Race of Lot. Part II 9 But let such Vengeance come to them, As once to wicked Midian came, To Jabin and proud Sisera, At bloody Kishon's fatal Stream: When thy Right-Hand their num'rous Host, Near Endor, did with Fear confound, And left their mangled Carcasses, Like Dung, to feed the hungry Ground. 6 Let all their mighty Men the Fate Of hapless Zeb and Oreb share; Of Zeba and Samana, so Let all their boasting Princes fare; Who with the same Design inspir'd, Thus with a vain Assurance spake, "In firm Possession, for ourselves, "Let us by Force GOD's Houses take." 7 To Ruin let them hasten on, Like Wheels which downward swiftly move; Or, like the Chaff, before the Wind, Let all their scatter'd Forces prove: As Flames consume the Wood, or Heath That on the parched Mountains grows; So let thy fierce devouring Wrath, With Terror strike thy haughty Foes. 8 LORD, shroud their Faces with Disgrace, And make them own thy glorious Name, Or else confound those harden'd Hearts, Which, gentler Means will not reclaim. So shall the World, with one Consent Confess that thou, whose Name alone, Jehovah is, o'er all the Earth, Hast rais'd thy just and lofty Throne. Scripture: Psalm 83 Languages: English Tune Title: [Hold not thy Peace, O Lord, our God]

How blest is he who ne'er consents to walk

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I (1767) Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents to walk By ill Advice nor dares to stand and talk In Sinners' Way, their Vice and Cause maintaining Nor sits with Scorners, Things divine profaning: But in GOD's sacred Law takes great Delight, Still reads by Day and meditates by Night. 2 Like some fair Tree, fix'd by the River's Side, Which bends with Fruit, and spreads its Foliage wide; So shall he flourish, Heav'n his Cause defending, And sweet Success his good Designs attending: In vain the Tempest strives to shake his Leaf, The Son of Joy breaks thro' the clouds of Grief. 3 Not to the Wicked; they no Root shall find, But fly like Chaff before the rapid Wind. The Lord hath not their evil Ways approved, Their Race shall therefore from the Earth be moved. They shall not stand in GOD's most holy Sight, Who only loves the Man that seeketh Right. 4 When GOD with Glory shall in Judgment come, A conscious Guilt shall strike the Sinner dumb; Nor to the Wicked will he grant a Station, Among the pure and righteous Congregation: The Ways of Justice, thus, to Bliss shall tend, Whilst Sinners' Paths must in their Ruin end. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English Tune Title: [How blest is he, who ne'er consents to walk]
