Deus, Deus meus
Author: T. S. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: O God my God, wherefore dost thou Lyrics: 1 O God my God, wherefore dost thou
forsake me utterly?
And helpest not when I do make
my great complaint and cry?
2 To thee, my God even all day long
I do both cry and call:
I cease not all the night, and yet
thou hearest not at ail.
3 Even thou that in thy Sanctuary,
and holy place dost dwell:
Thou art the comfort and the joy,
and glory of Israel.
4 And him in whom our fathers old
had all their hope for ever:
And when they put their trust in thee,
Thou didst them aye deliver.
5 They were delivered ever when
they called on thy Name;
And for the faith they had in thee,
they were not put to shame.
6 But I am now become a worm,
more like than any man:
An out-cast whom the people scorn
with all the spite they can.
7 All men despise as they behold
me walking on the way:
They grin, they mow, and nod their heads,
and on this wise they say,
8 This man did glory in the Lord,
his favour and his love:
Let him redeeme and help him now,
his power if he will prove.
9 But Lord out of my mothers wombe,
I came by thy behest:
Thou didst preserve me still in hope,
while I did suck the brest.
10 I was committed from my birth,
with thee to have abode:
Since I was in my mothers wombe,
thou hast been ere my God.
The second Part:
11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me,
in this my present grief:
Since I have none to be my help,
my succour and reliefe.
12 So many buls do compasse me,
that be full strong of head:
Yea, buls so fat, as though they had
in Basan field been fed.
13 They gape upon me greedily,
as though they would me slay:
Much like a Lion roaring out,
and ramping for his prey.
14 But I drop downe like water shed,
my joynts in sunder break:
My heart doth in my body melt,
like waxe against the heat.
15 And like a potsherd dri'th my strength,
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws, and I am brought
to dust of death at last.
16 And many dogs do compasse me,
and wicked counsell eke
Conspire against me cursedly,
they pierce my hands and feet.
17 I was tormented so that I
might all my bones have told:
Yet still upon me hey do look,
and still they me behold.
18 My garments they divided eke
in parts among them all:
And for my coat they did cast lots
to whom it should befall.
19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not farre
from me at my great need,:
But rather sith thou art my strength,
to help me Lord make speed.
20 And from the sword Lord save my soul
by thy might and thy power:
And keep my soule, thy darling deare,
from dogs that would devoure.
21 And from the Lion's mouth that would
me all in sunder shiver:
And from the hornes of Unicornes
Lord safely me deliver.
22 Then shall I to my brethren all
thy majesty record,
And in thy Church shall praise the Name
of thee the living Lord.
The Third Part:
23 All ye that feare him praise the Lord,
thou Jacob honour him:
And all ye seed of Israel,
with reverence worship him.
24 For he despiseth not the poore,
he turneth not away
His countenance when they do call,
but granteth to their crie.
25 Among the folk that feare the Lord,
I will therefore proclaime
Thy praise, and keep my promise made
for setting forth thy Name.
26 The poore shall eat and be suffic'd,
and those that do indeaver
To seek the Lord, shall praise his Name;
their hearts shall life for ever.
27 All coasts of th'earth shall praise the Lord
and turne to him for grace: grace;
The heathen folk shall worship him
before his blessed face.
28 The kingdome of the heathen folk
the Lord shall have therefore:
And he shall be their governour,
and King for evermore.
29 The rich men of his goodly gifts
shall feed and taste also:
And in his presence worship him,
and bow their knees full low.
30 And all that shall go down to dust,
of life by him shall tast:
My seed shall serve and praise the Lord,
while any world shall last.
31 My seed shall plainely shew to them
that shall be borne hereafter
His justice and his righteousnesse,
and all his works of wonder.
Deus, Deus meus
To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, wherefore hast thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? and why
Art thou so far from my help
And from words of my cry?
2 My God, I in the day time cry,
but me thou dost not hear;
Also by night and unto me
No quiet rest is there.
3 Nevertheless thou holy art,
Who constantly dost dwell,
Amongst the thankful praises of
Thy people Israel.
4 Our fathers heretofore in thee
Have put their confidence,
They trusted have, and thou to them
Didst give deliverance.
5 They unto thee did cry aloud,
And were preserved found,
In thee they put their confidence,
And nought did them confound.
6 But I a worm and not a man,
Of men a very scorn:
And I among the people am
Despised as forlorn.
7 All they that do upon me look,
A scoff at me do make;
They with contempt shoot out the lip,
The head in scorn they shake.
8 Upon the lord he roll'd himself,
Let him now rid him quite;
Let him deliver him, because
In him he doth delight.
9 But thou art he that me out of
The belly didst forth take:
When I was on my brother's breasts,
To hope thou didst me make.
10 I from the tender womb have been
Committed unto thee;
Yea from my mother's belly thou
Hast been a God to me.
[2]
11 Be not thou far away from me;
For tribulation
Approacheth very near at hand,
And helper there is none.
12 Great many bulls on ev'ry side
Have me encompassed;
The mighty bulls of Bashan have
Me round environed.
13 With their wide open'd mouths on me
They gaping so appear,
As if that each a ravening
And roaring lions were.
14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones
Disjointed are likewise;
Like unto melted wax my heart
Amidst my bowels lies.
15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd,
And my tongue cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
Of death brought me thou hast.
16 For dogs have compass'd me about,
Th' assembly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through
My hands and eke my feet.
17 My bones I may then number all;
They look'd, they did me view.
18 My cloaths among them they did part;
Lots for my coat they threw.
19 But thou Lord be not far; my strength
Haste thou to succour me.
20 My soul from sword, my darling from
The pow'r of dogs set free.
21 Out of the lion's mouth also;
Oh, saved that I were!
For thou from horns of unicorns
Didst me vouchsafe to hear.
22 Thy name I will declare to them
That brethren are to me;
Amidst the congregation I
Will praises give to thee.
[3]
23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise,
All Jacob's seed do ye
Him glorify, and dread him all
Ye Isra'ls seed that be.
24 For he th' affliction of the poor
Loaths not, nor doth despise;
Nor hides his face from him, but hears
When unto him he cries.
25 Within the congregation great,
My praise is of thee still:
Before them that in reverence,
Perform my vows I will.
26 The meek shall eat and be suffic'd;
Jehovah praise shall they
That do him seek; your heart shall live
Unto perpetual aye.
27 All th' Ends of th' earth remember shall
And turn unto the Lord;
And thee all heathen families
To worship shall accord
28 Because unto Jehovah doth
The kingdom appertain;
Likewise among the nations he
Is ruler sovereign.
29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall
All who to dust descend,
(Who cannot keep alive his soul)
Before his face shall bend.
30 With service a posterity
Him shall attend upon,
Which to the Lord shall counted be
A generation.
31 Come shall they, and his righteousness
By them declar'd shall be
Unto a people yet unborn,
That done this thing hath he.
To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1. My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? O why
So far from helping me, and deaf
To all my mournful Cry?
2. O thou my God, I cry all Day,
But thou hast no Regard;
I am not silent in the Night,
And yet I am not heard.
3. But thou art holy, O thou God,
Who do'st great Pleasure take
To dwell, where thankful Isr'el praise,
And sacred Off'rings make.
4. On Thee, our Fathers firm rely'd;
And did Deliv'rance gain.
5. To Thee, they cry'd, and still were sav'd;
Their Trust was not in vain.
6. But I, a Worm, and not a Man,
So vilely am I priz'd;
Reproach'd by Men of greatest Name,
By vulgar ones despis'd.
7. The gazing Crowd laugh me to scorn,
Their Scoffs upon me play:
They gape, and mock, and shake their Heads,
And thus deriding say:
8. "He vainly trusted in the Lord,
"That he would take his Part;
"Now let him save him, if he be
"The Darling of his Heart.
9. Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb,
Making my Birth thy Care;
When on my Mother's Breast I hung.
Thou did'st support me there.
10. Upon thine Arms my Cares were cast,
When mine first spread abroad;
Thou, from my Infant-Days, hast been
My Guardian, and my God.
Second Part
11. Forsake me not, when Trouble's near;
For none to help is found.
12. Many strong Bulls, of Bashan's Breed,
About beset me round.
13. With open Mouth they hideous roar,
As Lyons for their Prey.
14. My Blood is spilt, my Joints are rackt,
My Heart dissolves away.
I5. My Strength, like Potter's Earth, is dry'd,
My Tongue cleaves to my Jaws;
Down to the Dust of Death, my Life,
By thy sore Chast'ning, draws.
16. Fierce Dogs have compass'd me about,
Base Crowds around me meet;
With unrelenting furious Rage,
They pierce my Hands, and Feet.
17. My starting Bones, may all be told;
They staring me review.
18. My Robes they parted, as a Prey,
Lots for my Vesture threw.
19. O Lord, my Strength, forsake me not;
But hast to succour me.
20. My Soul from Sword, my Darling from
The Pow'r of Dogs set free.
21. From the fierce Lyon's cruel Jaws
Deliv'rance to me send;
And from the Horns of th' Unicorn,
O hear, and me defend.
22. Then, to my Brethren, I'll declare
The Glories of thy Name;
Amid'st the Congregation great,
I will thy Praise proclaim.
Third Part
23. Ye Worshipers of God, him praise,
From Jacob who proceed;
Him glorify, and reverence him,
O all ye Isr'el's Seed.
24. For he hath not despis'd, nor turn'd
From the afflicted's Grief,
Nor hid his Face from him; but heard
His Cries, and sent Relief.
25. I'll shout thy Praise, when e'er the great
Assembly meets to pray;
Before his Saints, that fear his Name,
The Vows I've made, I'll pay.
26. The Poor shall eat, and be suffic'd,
And Thanks to God shall give :
They that uprightly seek him shall
In Joys immortal, live.
27. Earth's distant Ends shall recollect,
And turn unto the Lord;
All Kindreds of the Nations shall,
To worship Thee, accord.
28. For universal Monarchy,
To God alone, pertains;
He sov'rain Ruler, uncontrol'd.
O'er all the Nations reigns.
29. The Rich shall eat, and him adore;
And who in Dust ly low.
Who cannot keep alive his Soul,
Before his Face shall bow.
30. Then shall a chosen Seed him serve;
Which God for his will own,
31. To Men unborn, his Truth, he'll shew,
And Wonders he hath done.
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
My GOD! my GOD! why leav'st thou me
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 My GOD! my GOD! why leavst thou me,
When I with Anguish call on thee?
Why dost thou me neglect,
And my loud Pray'r reject?
All Day, but all the day in vain,
To thee, O LORD, do I complain:
All Night have I implor'd
Thy Help to me restor'd.
3 Yet thou, O LORD, art ever just,
Relieving those, who in thee trust;
Therefore shalt Israel raise
To thee, continual Praise:
On Thee our Ancestors rely'd,
And in thy Strength their Foes defy'd;
To thee their Pray'rs address'd,
And with Success were bless'd.
of Innocence oppress'd;
3 Thy sure Deliv'rance, LORD, they found,
When Dangers gather'd thickest round;
Thine Ears their Cries receiv'd,
And they were soon reliev'd;
But I, like none of human Birth,
Am made the scoffing Rabble's Mirth;
Ev'n like a Reptile base,
They hold me in Disgrace.
Part II
4 My Agonies, the gazing Crowd,
Survey with Scorn and Laughter loud,
They mock whilst I complain,
And thus my Woes disdain:
"He boasted, he was Heav'n's Delight,
"Let GOD relieve his Favourite;
"Let him Assistance send,
"His Servant to defend.
5 But thou didst from my Mother's Womb,
Make me a living Offspring come;
Thy Care thou didst extend,
Me helpless to defend:
My Youth thou didst from Danger shield,
And Guardian-like Protection yield;
In thee I will confide,
For thou wert still my Guide.
6 Withdraw not then, O GOD, Most high!
Thy Aid, when Trouble is so nigh:
Do thou that Help extend,
On which I still depend.
High-pamper'd Bulls, a frowning Throng,
From Basan's Forest, fierce and strong,
Prepare with growing Rage,
Against me to engage.
7 They gape on me, and to my Fears,
Each Mouth, a yawning Grave appears;
Wide open to devour
My Soul, when in their Pow'r:
The desart Lion's savage Roar,
Could not increase my Horrors more.
In Compact close combin'd,
They have my Fall design'd.
Part III
8 My Joints are rack'd, and out of Frame;
My Heart like Wax before the Flame.
Within my Bosom glows;
My Blood like Water flows:
My Strength is parch'd' like Potter's Clay,
My fault'ring Tongue forgets to play;
My Soul all Hope resigns,
And to the Grave declines.
9 Like Blood-hounds, they assembled round,
My harmless Hands and Feet they wound;
And through my constant Pain,
I languish and complain;
That all my Bones may well be told;
Yet this as Pastime they behold.
And still their Pleasure shew,
At each Increase of Woe.
10 As Spoil, my Garments they divide:
By Lots their Portions they decide;
Therefore thy Arm extend,
And kind Protection send.
From their sharp Sword defend thou me,
And let my Life from Danger free;
Nor leave my Soul o'erpower'd,
By Dogs to be devour'd.
11 To me, O GOD! Assistance send,
My Life from Lions fierce defend;
As once thy Strength prevail'd,
When Unicorns assail'd,
Then to my Brethren I'll proclaim
The Triumphs of thy holy Name;
And to the Saints repair,
Thy Glory to declare.
12 "Praise ye the LORD in Songs divine,
"Ye num'rous Race of Israel's Line;
"To him with Fervour pray,
"And low Obeisance pay:
"His People he hath ne'er disdain'd,
"Or turn'd his Face when they complain'd;
"But to their humble Pray'r,
"Doth lend a gracious Ear.
13 Thus in thy Courts, thy Name I'll bless,
And in loud Songs my Thanks express;
And to thy Saints declare,
Thy providential Care.
The meek Companions of my Grief,
Shall at my Table find Relief;
And all who seek thy Face,
Shall find refreshing Grace.
14 Then shall the World their Homage pay,
To GOD, and his Commands obey;
His Pow'r they shall confess,
And Pray'rs to him address.
From Kings Submission to receive,
In his supreme Prerogative,
Who doth the Worlds sustain;
And over all Things reign.
15 The Rich his Bounty must confess,
The Poor their gen'rous Patron bless;
To him they all resort,
For Succour and Support:
Then shall a Race exalt his Name,
And to their Heirs his Truth proclaim,
"Till Heav'n and Earth combin'd,
Are all to GOD resign'd.

my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue;
and after death, in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
5 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise!

who reigns enthroned above,
the Ancient of Eternal Days,
the God of love!
The Lord, the great I AM,
by earth and heaven confessed,
we bow before your holy name,
forever blest.
2 Your spirit still flows free,
high surging where it will.
In prophet's word you spoke of old
and you speak still.
Established is your law,
and changeless it shall stand,
deep writ upon the human heart
by your strong hand.
3 Your goodly land we seek,
with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty
and Sabbath rest.
There milk and honey flow,
and oil and wine abound,
and trees of life forever grow
with mercy crowned.
4 You have eternal life
implanted in the soul;
your love shall be our strength and stay,
while ages roll.
We praise you, living God!
We praise your holy name:
the first, the last, beyond all thought,
and still the same!
