A Morning Psalm

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Defense in God; Defense in God First Line: O Lord, how many are my foes Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how many are my foes, In this weak state of flesh and blood? My peace they daily discompose, But my defence and hope is God. 2 Tired with the burdens of the day, To thee I rais'd an evening cry: Thou heardst when I began to pray, And thine Almighty help was nigh. 3 Supported by thine heavenly aid I laid me down and slept secure; Not death should make my heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. 4 But God sustain'd me all the night; Salvation doth to God belong: He rais'd my head to see the light, And makes his praise my morning song. Scripture: Psalm 3:8

And the whole Earth his Goodness proves, His Word the heav'nly Arches spread; How wide they shine from North to South! And by the Spirit of his mouth Were all the starry Armies made. 3 He gathers the wide-flowing Seas Those wat'ry Treasures know their Place In the vast Store-house of the Deep. He spake, and gave all Nature Birth; And Fires, and Seas, and Heav'n, and Earth, His everlasting Orders keep. 4 Let Mortals tremble and adore A GOD of such resistless Pow'r, Nor dare indulge their feeble Rage; Vain are your Thoughts, and weak your Hands; But his eternal Counsel stands, And rules the World from Age to Age. Scripture: Psalm 33

Creatures vain, and God All-sufficient

Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: God our Defense and Salvation First Line: O happy Nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 O happy Nation, where the Lord Reveals the Treasure of his Word, And builds his Church, his earthly Throne! His Eye the Heathen World surveys, He form'd their Hearts, he knows their Ways; But GOD their Maker is unknown. 2 Let Kings rely upon their Host, And of his Strength the Champion boast; In vain they boast, in vain rely; In vain we trust the brutal Force; Or Speed or Courage of an Horse, To guard his Rider, or to fly. 3 The Eye of thy Compassion, Lord, Doth more secure Defence afford When Death or Dangers threat'ning stand; Thy watchful Eye preserves the Just, Who make thy Name their Fear and Trust, When Wars or Famine waste the Land. 4 In Sickness, or the bloody Field, Thou our Physician, thou our Shield, Send us Salvation from thy Throne; We wait to see thy Goodness shine; Let us rejoice in Help divine, For all our Hope is GOD alone. Scripture: Psalm 133

Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Defense and Salvation in God First Line: To thine Almighty Arm we owe Lyrics: 1 To thine Almighty Arm we owe The Triumph of the Day; Thy Terrors, Lord, confound the Foe, And melt their Strength away. 2 'Tis by thine Aid our Troops prevail, And break united Pow'rs, Or burn their boasted Fleets, or scale The proudest of their Tow'rs. 3 How have we chas'd them thro' the Field, And trod them to the Ground; While thy Salvation was our Shield, But they no Shelter found! 4 In vain to idol Saints they cry, And perish in their Blood; Where is a Rock so great, so high, So pow'rful as our GOD? 5 The Rock of Israel ever lives, His Name be ever blest; 'Tis his own Arm the Vict'ry gives, And gives his People Rest. 6 On Kings that reign as David did, He pours his Blessings down; Secures their Honours to their Seed, And well supports the Crown. Scripture: Psalm 18

Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Defense in God; God our Defense and Salvation Lyrics: 1 My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend, My Hope in Thee, my GOD; Rise, and my helpless Life defend From those that seek my Blood. 2 With Insolence and Fury they My Soul in Pieces tear, As hungry Lions rend the Prey, When no Deliverer's near. 3 If I had e'er provok'd them first, Or once abus'd my Foe, Then let him tread my Life to Dust, And lay mine Honour low. 4 If there be Malice found in me, I know thy piercing Eyes; I should not dare appeal to Thee, Nor ask my GOD to rise. 5 Arise, my GOD, lift up thy Hand, Their Pride and Pow'r controul; Awake to Judgment, and command Deliv'rance for my Soul. Pause. 6 [Let Sinners, and their wicked Rage Be humbled to the Dust; Shall not the GOD of Truth engage To vindicate the Just? 7 He knows the Heart, he tries the Reigns, He will defend th' Upright: His sharpest Arrows he ordains Against the Sons of Spite. 8 For me their Malice digg'd a Pit, But there themselves are cast; My GOD makes all their Mischiefs light On their own Heads at last.] 9 That cruel persecuting Race Must feel his dreadful Sword: Awake my Soul, and praise the Grace And Justice of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 7
