The heathen hosts, O God!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #79 (1789) Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 The heathen hosts, O God! Have thy possession seiz'd; Thy sacredhHouse defil'd, Thy holy city raz'd. 2 The bodies of thy saints, Abroad unburied lay; Their flesh expos'd to beasts, Or rav'nous birds a prey. 3 Their blood, like water, was Around Jerus'lem shed; And none were left to pay The duties to the dead; 4 The foe our small remains With loud reproaches wound; And are made the sport Of all the nations round. 5 How long wilt thou be wroth? Lord, must we ever mourn? And shall thy jealous rage, Like fire for ever burn? 6 On lands that know not thee, Thy heavy vengeance show'r; Those kingdoms let it crush, That have not own'd thy pow'r. 7 Their hungry jaws have prey'd On Jacob's chosen race; And to a desert turn'd, Their fruitful dwelling place. 8 O think not on our sins, But speedily prevent The ruin of thy saints, Almost with sorrow spent. 9 Thy help, O God, impart And free our souls from blame, So shall thy wond'rous love Exalt thy glorious name. 10 Let infidels that say, "Where is the God they boast"? In vengeance, for thy saints, Perceive thee to their cost. 11 Lord, hear the pris'ner's moans! Thy saving pow'r extend; Preserve them doom'd to die, From their untimely end! 12 Those who blaspheme thy name, Do thou, O God, destroy; Against the nations round, Resistless pow'r employ. 13 As they have us opprest; So shall they be repaid, With sorrows sev'n times more Than what on us they laid. 14 Thus we thy humble flock, Shall ever praise thy name; And our unwearied thanks, From age to age proclaim.

Psalm 79

Hymnal: Foundations Psalter #79 (2023) Scripture: Psalm 79 First Line: O God, the heathen enter'd have Lyrics: 1 O God, the heathen entered have thine heritage; by them Defilèd is thy house: on heaps they laid Jerusalem. 2 The bodies of thy servants they have cast forth to be meat To rav'nous fowls; thy dear saints' flesh they gave to beasts to eat. 3 Their blood about Jerusalem like water they have shed; And there was none to bury them when they were slain and dead. 4 Unto our neighbors a reproach most base become are we; A scorn and laughingstock to them that round about us be. 5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last? wilt thou still keep the same? And shall thy fervent jealousy burn like unto a flame? 6 On heathen pour thy fury forth, that have thee never known, And on those kingdoms which thy name have never called upon. 7 For these are they who Jacob have devoured cruelly; And they his habitätion have causèd waste to lie. 8 Against us mind not former sins; thy tender mercies show; Let them prevent us speedily, for we're brought very low. 9 For thy name's glory help us, Lord, who hast our Savior been: Deliver us; for thy name's sake, O purge away our sin. 10 Why say the heathen, Where's their God? let him to them be known; When those who shed thy servants' blood are in our sight o'erthrown. 11 O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend before thy sight on high; Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r that are designed to die. 12 And to our neighbors' bosom cause it sev'nfold rendered be, Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have, O Lord, reproachèd thee. 13 So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep, shall give thee thanks always; And unto generations all we will show forth thy praise.

A Place where wickedness abound

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CXLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 A Place where wickedness abound, Where scarce a righteous soul is found: There punishment for sins is due, And must be executed too. 2 Jerusalem, that noted place, Found it to be her awful case; Where judgments with their threat'nings meet Destruction soon is made complete. 3 It was the blessed Saviour's charge, Where vices sway their pow'r at large; Who then is wise these things to see, Then let him to the mountains flee. 4 The axe which to the root is laid, As John, the faithful Prophet said: Will cut that wicked nation down without the least of mercy shown. 5 The Jews, be aggravating crimes, Brought on them selves such fatal times; Times of distress, and wo, and grief, But not a time to find relief. 6 False Christs arose in ev'ry part, And with deceptions, schemes and art, Were many simple souls decoy'd, And in their sins at last destroy'd. 7 Just like a carrion on the ground, To which the Eagles flock around; The doctrine of such teachers are, To silly souls a trap and snare. 8 Their doctrine would have that effect, As to deceive the Lord's elect! Was not their hope in Jesus stay'd, And thus upheld by heav'nly aid. 9 What evil sin on earth can do, From this sad passage we may know; Lord! make us wise to meditate, And flee before it be too late.

A Psalm of Asaph

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PLXXIX (1742) Scripture: Psalm 79 First Line: O God, the heathen entered have Lyrics: 1 O God the heathen entred have Thine heritance, defil'd Thine holy temple, they on heaps Jerusalem have pil'd. 2 Thy servants bodies that are dead They given have for meat To fowls of heav'n, to beast of th' earth Flesh of thy saints to eat. 3 Their blood they have forth poured round About Jerusalem: Like unto water, and there was None for to bury them. 4 To those that near unto us dwell A scorn become are we, A scoffing and reproach to them That round about us be. 5 How long Jehovah, wilt thou still Continue in thine ire For ever? shall thy jealousy Burn forth like unto fire? 6 Upon the heathen pour thy wrath, Who never did thee know: Upon the kingdoms that have not Call'd on thy name also. 7 Because they Jacob have devour'd, And they his dwelling place To utter desolation Did miserably raze. [2] 8 Mind not against us former sins O let thy bowels haste Us to prevent, because we are Near utterly laid waste. 9 God of our safety help thou us, For th' honour of thy name: Free us also, and purge away Our sins ev'n for the same. 10 why say the heathen, where's their God? Before them bring to light The vengeance of thy saints blood-shed, And that before our fight. 11 Before thee let the pris'ners sighs Come up accordingly, As mighty is thine arm; save those That are design'd to die. 12 And to our neighbours seven fold Into their bosom pay: Their vile reproach wherewith O Lord, Reproached thee have they. 13 So we thy folk and pasture sheep Will give thee thanks always; And unto generations all We will shew forth thy praise.

Thou sov'reign Lord, that fill's the earth with dread

Hymnal: New Version of the Psalms of David #LXXIX (1756) Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 Thou sov'reign Lord, that fill'st our earth with dread, Shall impious foes thy heritage invade? Shall they thy sacred, solemn dome profane? Shall o'er thy favour'd tribes destruction reign? 2 Dead are the pious souls that lov'd thy word, Dead are they all, the victims of the sword: They're to the wolves expos'd in open air; Lo! their dismember'd limbs the vultures tear. 3 Round Salem's walls flow scarlet streams of blood, As when the rains increase th' impetuous flood; Their mangled carcasses unburied lie, And not one friend that will a grave supply. 4 And both alike, the living and the dead, A theme for laughter and contempt are made. 5 O gracious father, will thy dreadful ire For ever rage, and shall it burn like fire? 6 Pour out thy fury rather on the race, That not avow thy pow'r, thy law embrace: Those impious kingdoms, blasphemously vain, Who to invoke thy holy name disdain: 7 The ruin of thy people who resolve, And in devouring flame their towns involve. 8 Recall not, Lord, our heinous crimes of yore, And let thy wrath vindictive burn no more: Quite overwhelm'd in killing woes we are; Prevent us with thy love; in pity spare. 9 Why shou'd the heathen spread their taunts abroad, And blasphemously cry, "Where is their God?" 10 To us extend thy clemency divine, And let thy glory in our pardon shine: Assert thyself O Lord, and 'fore our eyes In all the terrors of thy vengeance rise; Revenge the blood of innocence they've spilt, And punish, punish their enormous guilt. i1 Thy pow'r exert, to heal the captive's grief, To give him, from his galling chains, relief; Bid them in peace, in joy, in safety, breathe, Who're destin'd by their cruel foes to death. 12 The vile reproach, the contumelies, that they Cast on thy people, and on thee, repay; O let a sev'n-fold punishment be theirs, In our deliv'rance while thy pow'r appears; 13 While we, great shepherd, thy peculiar flock, Make thee our whole support, our strength, our rock; And, in thy pastures as we feed, display Thy praise, thy pow'r, thy love, from day to day.
