Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it comely is and right, that upright men with thankful voice should praise the Lord of might. 2 Jehovah praise with harp, to him sing with the psaltery; Upon a ten-stringed instrument make ye sweet melody. 3 A new song to him sing, and play with loud noise skilfully; 4 for right's the Lord’s word, all his work is done in verity. 5 To judgment and to righteousness a love he beareth still; the loving-kindness of the Lord the earth throughout doth fill. 6 The heavens by Jehovah's word did their beginning take; and by the breathing of his mouth he all their hosts did make. 7 The waters of the seas he brings together as an heap; and in storehouses, as it were, he layeth up the deep. 8 Let earth, and all that live therein, with reverence fear the Lord; let all the world’s inhabitants dread him with one accord. 9 For he did speak the word, and done it was without delay; established it firmly stood, whatever he did say. 10 The Lord the counsel brings to nought which heathen folk do take; and what the people do devise of none effect doth make. 11 O but the counsel of the Lord doth stand for ever sure; and of his heart the purposes from age to age endure. 12 That nation blessed is, whose God Jehovah is, and those a blessed people are, whom for his heritage he chose. 13 The Lord from heaven looks; he sees all sons of men full well: 14 he views all from his dwelling-place that in the earth do dwell. 15 He forms their hearts alike, and all their doings he observes. 16 Great hosts save not a king, much strength no mighty man preserves. 17 An horse for safety and defence is a deceitful thing; and by the greatness of his strength can no deliverance bring. 18 Behold, on those that do him fear the Lord doth set his eye; even those who on his mercy do with confidence rely; 19 from death to free their soul, in dearth life unto them to yield. 20 Our soul doth wait upon the Lord; he is our help and shield. 21 Since in his holy name we trust, our heart shall joyful be. 22 Lord, let thy mercy be on us, as we do hope in thee.

Exultate iusti

Author: J. H. Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce, it is a seemly sight: That upright men with thankfull voice should praise the Lord of might. 2 Praise ye the Lord with harp and song in Psalmes and pleasant things: With Lutem and instrument among, that soundeth with ten strings. 3 Sing to the Lord a song most new, with courage give him praise: 4 For why? his word is ever true, his works and all his waies. 5 To judgement, equity and right, he hath a great good will: And with his gifts he doth delight the earth throughout to fill. 6 For by the word of God alone the heavens all were wroght: Their hoasts and powers every one his breath to passe hath brought. 7 The waters great gathered hath he on heapes within the shore: And hid them in the depth to be, as in a house of store. 8 All men on earth both least and most, feare God and keep his law. Ye that inhabit in each coast dread him and stand in awe. 9 What he commanded wrought it was at once with present speed: What he doth will is brought to passe with full effect indeed. 10 The counsels of the nations rude the Lord doth bring to naught: He doth defeate the multitude of their device and thought. 1 But his decrees continue still, they never slack nor swage: The motions of his mind and will take place in every age. The second Part: 12 And blest they to whom the Lord as God and guide is known: Whom he doth chuse of meere accord, to take them as his own. 13 The Lord from heaven cast his sight, on men mortall by birth: 14 Considering from his seat of might the dwellers on the earth. 15 The Lord, I say, whose had hath wrought man's heart, and doth it frame: For he alone doth know the thought and working of the same. 16 A King that trusteth in his hoast, shall nought prevaile at length; The man that of his might doth boast, shall fail for all his strength. 17 The troops of horsemen eke shall fail, their sturdy steeds shall swerve: The strength of horse shall not prevaile, the rider to preserve. 18 But lo the eyes of God intend and watch to aid the just: With such as feare him to offend, and on his goodnesse trust: 19 That he of death and great distresse, may set their soules from dread; And if that dearth their land oppresse, in hunger them to feed. 20 Wherefore our soul doth whole depend on God our strength and stay, He is our shield us to defend, and drive all darts away. 21 Our soule in God hath joy and game, rejoycing in his might: For why? in his most holy Name we hope and much delight. 22 Therefore let thy goodnesse O Lord, still present with us be: As we alwaies with one accord. do only trust in thee. Scripture: Psalm 33

Rejoice, Believer, In The Lord

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord Who makes your cause His own; The hope that’s built upon His Word, Can ne’er be overthrown. 2 Though many foes beset your road, And feeble is your arm; Your life is hid with Christ in God Beyond the reach of harm. 3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint, Or fainting shall not die; Jesus, the strength of every saint, Will aid you from on high. 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, Faith sees Him always near; A guide, a glory, a defense, Then what have you to fear? 5 As surely as He overcame, And triumphed once for you; So surely you, that love His name, Shall triumph in Him too.
