Be merciful to me, O God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Be merciful to me, O God;
be merciful to me;
because my soul her confidence
doth wholly place in thee.
Yea, in the shadow of thy wings
my refuge I will place,
until thee sad calamities
do wholly overpass.
2 My cry I will cause to ascend
to God who is most high;
to God, who doth all things for me
perform most perfectly.
3 From heaven he shall send down, and me
from his reproach defend
that would devour me: God his truth
and mercy forth shall send.
4 My soul among fierce lions is,
I firebrands live among,
men's sons, whose teeth are spears and darts,
a sharp sword is their tongue.
5 Be thou exalted very high
above the heavens, O God;
let thou thy glory be advanced
o'er all the earth abroad.
6 My soul's bowed down; for they a net
have laid, my steps to snare:
into the pit which they have digged
for me, they fallen are.
7 My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed,
O God; I'll sing and praise.
8 My glory wake; wake psaltery, harp:
myself I'll early raise.
9 I'll praise thee 'mong the people,Lord;
'mong nations sing will I:
10 for great to heaven thy mercy is,
thy truth is to the sky.
11 O Lord, exalted by thy name
above the heavens to stand:
do thou thy glory far advance
above both sea and land. Scripture: Psalm 57 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

O God, Be Merciful to Me (1)
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O God, be merciful to me Lyrics: 1. O God, be merciful to me,
My soul for refuge comes to Thee,
Beneath Thy wings I safe will stay,
Until these troubles pass away.
To God Most High shall rise my prayer,
To God who makes my wants His care,
From Heav’n He will salvation send,
And me from every foe defend.
2. Great foes and fierce my soul alarm,
Inflamed with rage and strong to harm,
But God, from Heav’n His dwelling place,
Will rescue me with truth and grace.
Be Thou, O God, exalted high,
Yea, far above the starry sky,
And let Thy glory be displayed
O’er all the earth Thy hands have made.
3. My soul is grieved because my foes
With treacherous plans my way enclose;
But from the snares that they devise
Their own undoing shall arise.
My heart is steadfast, O my King,
My heart is tuned Thy praise to sing;
Awake, my soul, and swell the song,
Let vibrant harp the notes prolong.
4. Yea, I will early wake and sing,
A thankful hymn to Thee will bring,
For unto Heav’n Thy mercies rise,
Thy truth is lofty as the skies.
Be Thou, O God, exalted high,
Yea, far above the starry sky,
And let Thy glory be displayed
O’er all the earth Thy hands have made. Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 154

O God, Be Merciful to Me
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: O God, be merciful to me
Because your love is strong;
Now wash me from iniquity
And cleanse me from all wrong.
These words are old, but still they live
Within our hearts today.
We cry to you: “O God, forgive!”
And “Wash our sins away!”
My sin has kept me far from you;
Your wrath is justified.
Why is it, Lord? The things I do
Have crushed my bones inside!
I try to make it on my own
As if I’m all I need,
Until I find I’m all alone,
Wrapped up in pride and greed.
Yet this is not the final word,
For you forgive our sin!
When we return to you, O Lord,
You give us joy again.
