A Psalm or Song of David

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68 First Line: Let God arise, and all his foes Lyrics: 1 Let GOD arise, and all his foes abroad dispersed be: Let them who haters of Him are, away before him flee. 2 As smoke, the wicked Thou wilt drive and quite disperse abroad: As wax by fire, so shall they melt before the face of GOD. 3 But let the righteous all be glad; O let them joyful be Before GOD's face; yea let them all rejoyce exceedingly. 4 Sing ye to GOD, O sing his praise; with joy extol his name: His name is JAH, and high he rides on heav'ns exalted frame. 5 For He a tender father is to children fatherless; And GOD the widow's judge is in his place of holiness. 6 GOD sets the single in an house; frees captives from their bands; But those who rebels are to Him, inhabit thirsty lands. [2 Part] 7 O GOD, when once Thou didst go forth before thy people's face, And thro' the hideous wilderness didst as their leader pass; (Selah.) 8 The earth did at GOD's presence shake: the heav'ns the drop'd and fell: Sinai shook at the fight of GOD, the God of Israel. 9 O GOD, Thou on thy heritage, didst pour a plenteous rain; Whereby, Thou when it weary was, didst it revive again. 10 Thy congregation then dd make their habitation there; And of thy goodness for the poor, O GOD, thou didst prepare. 11 The Lord gave forth his word on high, abroad it quickly came; And great the army was of those who published the same. 12 The kings of mighty armies fled, in haste they fled away: And she that safely stay'd at home, help'd to divide the prey. 13 Tho' slaves among the pots ye lay; you soon we did behold, Like a fair dove with silver wings and feathers bright with gold. 14 When the Almighty scatter'd kings so glorious then ye were; Like glitt'ring snow on Salmon-hill, ye did as bright appear. [3 Part] 15 Like to the mount of Bashan is the mountain of our GOD: More choice than Bashan is the mount of his design'd abode. 16 Why leap ye so, ye lofty hills? for this, this is the hill Where GOD desires to dwell, and where the LORD will ever dwell. 17 The chariot of the mighty GOD millions* the angels are; And still among them is the Lord, as on mount Sinai, there. 18 Thou hast ascended up on high as our victorious head: Thou num'rous hosts of captives hast thy happy captives led. Thou hast rich gifts receiv'd for men, for such as did rebell; That GOD, whose name is JAH with them might condescend to dwell 19 O blessed be this gracious Lord, who daily doth us load With many benefits, and is of our salvation God. (Selah.) 20 He of salvation is the God, who is our God most strong; And to the Lord JEHOVAH do issues from death belong. 21 But GOD will deeply wound their heads, who are his stubborn foes; The hairy crown of him who still on in his trespass goes. [4 Part] 22 The Lord said, I'll bring back again, again from Bashan-land, My people thro' the depth of seas by my almighty hand. 23 That Thou may'st vanquish thy proud foes, so merciless and strong; And in the chase may'st dip in blood thy foot, and dogs their tongue. 24 Thy goings to thy holy place, O GOD, they all have seen: Thy goings O my God, my king, how glorious have they been! 25 Sweet singers marching in the van, musicians in the rear; And in the midst a virgin train, with timbrels charm the ear. 26 Bless GOD thro' all your companies, and forth his praises tell: The sov'reign Lord, O bless all ye, who spring from Israel. 27 Princes of Benjamin's small tribe, and Judah's heads combine; And Zebulan and Naphtali's and glad procession join. 28 Thy God commanded all thy strength, and thus hath strengthned thee; Confirm, O GOD, what Thou for us hast wrought so wondrously. [5 Part] 29 Ev'n for thy sacred temple sake built at Jerusalem, The kings around shall come and bring, their costly gifts with them. 30 Rebuke the spearmen's companies, and all the multitude Of people fierce as mighty bulls, and fatted calves as rude; Till all submit and tribute bring of silver from afar; O scatter Thou the people who delight in spoil and war. 31 Princes shall them bow down to Thee, and come from Egypt's lands; And Ethiopia shall to GOD, stretch out in haste her hands 32 O sing aloud to GOD with joy, ye kingdoms of the earth, And to the sov'reign Lord, O sing with psalms in sacred mirth. (Selah.) 33 To Him who rides on heav'ns of heav'ns, which he of old did found; Lo how he sends his awful voice, a voice of might sound. 34 Ascribe ye boundless pow'r to GOD; whose glorious dignity, Is over Isra'l, and his pow'r shines in the lofty sky. 35 O GOD, how terrible art Thou out of thy holy place! God mighty pow'r his people gives: to GOD be all the praise.

Exurgat Deus

Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 68 First Line: Let God arise and then his foes Lyrics: 1 Let God arise and then his foes will turn themselves to flight: His enemies then will run abroad and scatter out of sight. 2 And as the fire doth melt the waxe, and wind blowes smoke away: So in the presence of the Lord, the wicked shall decay. 3 But righteous men before the Lord, shall heartily rejoyce: They shall be glad and merry all, and chearful in their voice. 4 Sing praise, sing praise unto the Lord, who rideth on the skie: Extoll the Name of Jah our God, and him still magnifie. 5 The same is he that is above, within his holy place: That Father is of fatherlesse, and judge of widdows case. 6 Houses he gives and issue both, unto the comfortlesse: He bringeth bondmen out of thrall, and rebels to distresse. 7 When thou didst march before thy folk th' Egyptians from among: And broughtst them through the wilderness which was both wide and long. 8 The earth did quake, the rain powr'd down heard were great claps of thunder: The mount Sinai shook in such sort, as it would cleave in sunder. 9 Thine heritage with drops of raine abundantly was washt: And if so be it barren waxt. by thee it was refresst. 10 Thy chosen flock doth there remaine thou hast prepar'd that place: And for the poore thou dost provide of thine especiall grace. The second Part: 11 God will give women causes just, to magnifie his Name: When as his people triumphs make, and purchase bruit and fame. 12 For puissant kings for all their power shall flee and take the foile: And women which remaine at home shall help to part the spoile. 13 And though ye were as black as pots, your hue shall passe the Dove: Whose wings and feathers seem to have silver and gold above. 14 When in this land God shall triumph ore kings both high and low: Then shall it be like Salmon hill, as white as any snow. 15 Though Basan be a fruitful hill, and in height others passe: Yet Sion God's most holy hill, doth farre excell in grace. 16 Why brag ye thus ye hills most high, and leap for pride together? The hill of Sion God doth love, And there will dwell for ever. 17 God's army is two millions of warriours good and strong: The Lord also in Sinai is present them among. 18 Thou didst (O Lord) ascend on high, and captive ledst them all: Which in times past thy chosen flock in bondage kept and thrall. Thou mad'st them tribute for to pay, and such as did repine Thou didst subdue that they might dwell in thy Temple divine. 19 Now praised be the Lord for that he powres on us such grace: From day to day he is the God of our health and solace. The third Part: 20 He is the God from whom alone salvation commeth plaine: He is the God by whom we scape all dangers, death, and paine. 21 Thus God shall wound his enemies head and break the hairy scalpe Of those that in their wickednesse continually do walk. 22 From Basan will I bring, said he, my people and my sheep: And all mine own, as I have done, from dangers of the deep. 22 And make them dip their feet in blood of those that hate my Name: And dogs shal have their tongues inbr'd with licking of the same. 24 All men may see how thou O God, thine enemies dost deface; And how thou go'st as God and King into thine holy place. 25 The singers go before with joy, the minstrels follow after: And in the midst the damsels play, with timbrell and with taber. 26 Now in the Congregation, O Israel, praise the Lord. And Jacobs whole posterity, give thanks with one accord: 27 The chiefe was little Benjamin, but Juda made their host: With Zebulon and Nephthalim, which dwelt about their coast. 28 As God hath given power to thee, so Lord make firme and sure: The thing that thou bast wrought in us: for ever to endure. 29 And in thy Temple gifts will we give unto thee O Lord: For thine unto Jerusalem, sure promise made by word. The fourth Part: Yea and strange Kings to us subdu'd, shall do like in those daies: I meane thee they shall present their gifts of laud and praise. 30 He shall destroy the speaermens ranks the calves and buls of might: And cause them tribute pay and daunt all such as love to fight. 31 Then shall the Lords of Egypt come, and presents with them bring The Moors most black shal stretch their hands unto their Lord and King. 32 Therefore ye kingdoms of the earth, give praise unto the Lord: Sing Psalmes to God with one consent, thereto let all accord. 33 Who though he ride and ever hath above the heavens bright: Yet by his fearfull thunder-claps men may well know his might. 34 Therefore the strength of Israel ascribe to God on hie: Whose might and power doth far extend above the cloudie skie. 35 O God, thy holiness eand power is dread for evermore: The God of Israel gives us strength, praised be God therefore.
