In Vain, O Man of lawless Pow'r

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 52 Lyrics: 1 In Vain, O Man of lawless Pow'r, Thou boast'st thyself in Ill; Since GOD, who is my Strength and Tow'r, Vouchsafes his Favour still: Secur'd by his Almighty Hand, Your Malice I withstand. 2 Thy Tonge to Mischief still inclin'd, Doth sland'rous Tales devise; Thy Heart in malice hath design'd, To wound with treach'rous Lies; Thy Thoughts thou dost in Schemes employ, The Righteous to destroy. 3 Thy Tongue delights in Words, whereby The Guiltless are oppress'd; But GOD shall all thy Pow'r defy, And thou shalt be suppress'd; The LORD shall not permit thy Stay, But snatch thee soon away. 4 The Just, who wait with pious Fear Thy sudden Fall to see; At last shall find thee quite o'erthrown, And from thy Ruin flee; They at the Downfal of thy Pride, Shall thus thy Joy deride: 5 "See there the Man who GOD defy'd; "Despis'd his Holy Will, "And on his Wealth and Art rely'd, "To be protected still: "His Pride, which more and more did grow, "Is now at last brought low." 6 But I am like those Olive Plants, Which shade GOD's Temple round; And hope with his refreshing Grace, To be for ever crown'd: In his Indulgence I'll rejoice, And shout with chearful Voice. 7 So shalt thou still, O GOD, be prais'd, For all thy wond'rous Love, And thy great Name in Anthems rais'd, For this thy Saints approve: While on thy Word I rest secure, Which stands forever sure.

To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 52 First Line: O man of might, wherefore dost thou Lyrics: 1 O man of might, wherefore dost thou Thus boast thy self in ill? The goodness of the mighty God, Endureth ever still. 2 Thy tongue injurious mischief doth Presumptuously devise; And like unto a razor sharp It works deceitful lies. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good, More to speak lies than right. 4 O guileful tongue, thou dost in all Devouring words delight. 5 God shall likewise for evermore Destroying thee deface: He shall thee take away and pluck Thee from thy dwelling place. Out of the land o' th' living ones He also will root thee: Selah. 6 The just shall fear and laugh at him When this thing they shall see. 7 Lo this man made not God his strength; But put his trust upon His store of wealth; he strengthned was In his transgression. 8 But in the house of God am I Like as an olive green; In God's benignity for aye And aye my trust hath been. 9 Because that hou this thing hast done, I'll praise thee evermore: And on thy name will wait, for this Is good thy saints before.

Wherefore, O mighty Man, dost thou

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 52 Lyrics: 1. Wherefore, O mighty Man, dost thou, Thy self, in Mischief boast? Uninterupted daily flows God's Gcodness, without Cost. 2. Thy Tongue, the Malice of thy Heart, In Falshoods, spreads around; Like a keen Rasor, gives a deep. And unexpected. Wound. 3. Thou lovest Evil more than Good, Than right, more to speak wrong; 4. Devouring Words are thy Delight, O thou deceitful Tongue. 5. Thee utterly shall God destroy. And snatch thee from thy Place; O'er throw thy House, and from the Earth, Root thee, and all thy Race. 6. With Fear, the Righteous shall behold, And thus, thy Fall, deride: 7. "Lo! this the Man! who God contemn'd, "Nor on his Strength rely'd; "But, in th' Abundance of his Wealth "Himself secure he thought, "And strengthen'd by his wicked Arts; "Lo! how he's brought to nought! 8. But I shall to God's House return, Fruitfull as th' Olive Tree; For I have ever fix'd my Trust, In God's Benignity. 9. I'll ever celebrate thy Praise, For what thou did'st efrect; And patient wait thy promis'd Grace, Which all thy Saints expect.

Why boast'st thou, tyrant, thy high crimes aloud?

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 52 Lyrics: 1 Why boast'st thou, tyrant, thy high crimes aloud? Our God is ever to the righteous good: 2 Thy guileful tongue (a falshood ev'ry word) More fatal pierces, than the keenest sword; 3 Mischief thou lov'st, and goodness dost despise, Truth hath thy hate; thy dear amusement lies; 4 A Slander, big with ruin, gives thee joy; 5 Therefore th' avenging God shall thee destroy, Shall root thee out, that thou be seen no more, While man in vain thy dwelling shall explore. 6 This shall the righteous view with joyful fear, Smile at thy punshment, and heav'n revere. 7 "Lo! this the man (they'll cry) with impious pride "Who brav'd his maker, and his pow'r defied; "Who his frail riches made his strength, and strove "By villain-arts to mate our Lord above!" 8 For me, I'll, like an olive, flourish long; I'll in the mercies of my God be strong; I in his house will dwell; and night and day, The wonders of his mighty arm display; 9 His glorious works, his clemency, proclaim, And hail for ever his tremendous name.
