Psalm 36: The wicked man's transgression

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 First Line: The wicked man's transgression Lyrics: 1The wicked man’s transgression within my heart thus says, Undoubtedly the fear of God is not before his eyes. 2Because himself he flattereth in his own blinded eye, Until the hatefulness be found of his iniquity. 3Words from his mouth proceeding are, fraud and iniquity: He to be wise, and to do good, hath left off utterly. 4He mischief, lying on his bed, most cunningly doth plot: He sets himself in ways not good, ill he abhorreth not. 5Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns; thy truth doth reach the clouds: 6Thy justice is like mountains great; thy judgments deep as floods: Lord, thou preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy grace! Therefore in shadow of thy wings men’s sons their trust shall place. 8They with the fatness of thy house shall be well satisfy’d; From rivers of thy pleasures thou wilt drink to them provide. 9Because of life the fountain pure remains alone with thee; And in that purest light of thine we clearly light shall see. 10Thy loving-kindness unto them continue that thee know; And still on men upright in heart thy righteousness bestow. 11Let not the foot of cruel pride come, and against me stand; And let me not removed be, Lord, by the wicked’s hand. 12There fallen are they, and ruined, that work iniquities: Cast down they are, and never shall be able to arise.

My crafty foe, with flattering art

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 My crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Art, His wicked Purpose would disguise; But Reason whispers to my Heart, No Fear of God's before his Eyes. 2 He sooths himself, retir'd from Sight; Secure he thinks his treach'rous Game; Till his dark Plots, expos'd to Light, Their false Contriver brand with Shame. 3 In Deeds he is my Foe confess'd, Whilst with his Tongue he speaks me fair: True Wisdom's banish'd from his Brest, And Vice has sole Dominion there. 4 His wakeful Malice spends the Night In forging his accurs'd Designs; His obstinate, ungen'rous Spite No execrable Means declines. 5 But, Lord, thy Mercy, my sure Hope, The highest Orb of Heav'n transcends; Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope Beyond the sparkling Skies extends. 6 Thy Justice like the Hills remains; Unfathom'd Depths thy Judgments are; Thy Providence the world sustains; The whole Creation is thy Care. 7 Since of thy Goodness All partake, With what Assurance should the Just Thy shelt'ring Wings their Refuge make, And Saints to thy Protection trust! 8 Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led, To banquet on thy Love's Repast: And drink, as from a fountain's Head, Of Joys that shall forever last. 9 With Thee the Springs of Life remain; Thy Presence is eternal Day: 10 O! let thy Saints thy Favour gain; To upright Hearts thy Truth display. 11 Whilst Pride's insulting Foot would spurn, And wicked Hand my Life surprise; 12 Their Mischiefs on themselves return; Down, down, they're fall'n, no more to rise.
