(A Psalm) of David*

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With all mine heart I'll Yhee confess Lyrics: 1 With all mine heart I'll thee confess, Praise thee the gods before. 2 The temple of thine holiness, Towards it I'll adore. I'll for thy mercy praise thy name, And for thy verity: Because thou over ail thy name, Thy word dost magnify, 3 Thou in the day didst answer when I cried unto thee; With strength within my soul thou then Didst also strengthen me. 4 All kings of th* earth thee, Lord, shall praise, When thy mouth's words they hear. 5 They shall sing in Jehovah's ways, For great's HIS glory there. 6 Albeit that the Lord be high, Yet he respects the low: But as for them who lofty be, He them far off doth know. 7 Altho' I walk amidst distress, Thee quickning me I have: Thine hands shall my foes wrath suppress, And thy right hand me save. 8 The Lord will perfect what's for me, Thy mercy Lord aye stands. O do not those forsake who be The works of thine own hands. Scripture: Psalm 138

A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With expectation for the Lord Lyrics: 1 With expectation for the Lord, I waited patiently; And he inclined unto me, He also heard my cry. 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit, Out of the miry clay; And on a rock he set my feet, He stablished my way. 3 A new song put he in my mouth, Our God's praise to record; Which many shall behold and fear, And trust upon the Lord. 4 Blest is the Man that on the Lord doth make his trust abide: Nor doth the proud respect, nor such To lies as turn aside. [2] 5 O thou Jehovah, thou my God, Hast many wonders wrought; And likewise towards us thou hast Conceiv'd many a thought. their sum cannot be reckon'd up In order unto thee; would I declare and speak of them, Beyond account they be. 6 Thou sacrifice and offering Didst not at all desire, Thou boar'st mine ear, no sin off'ring, Nor burnt one dost require. 7 Then said I, lo I come: it's writ I' th' books roll thus of me, 8 To do thy will my god I joy, Thy laws in my heart be. 9 Within the congregation great, Thy righteousness I shew; Lo I have not refrain'd my lips, Jehovah thou dost know. 10 I have not hid thy righteousness Within my heart alone; I have declar'd thy faithfulness, And thy salvation I have not from th' assembly great Thy grace and truth conceal'd. 11 Let not thy tender mercies be From me O Lord with-held: Let both thy kindness and thy truth keep me my life throughout, 12 Because innumerable ills Have compass'd me about. My sins have caught me, so that I Not able am to see; More are they than hairs of mine head, Therefore my heart fails me. [3] 13 Be pleas'd, Lord, to deliver me; To help me, Lord, make haste. 14 At once abash'd and sham'd let be, Who seek my soul to waste 15 Let them be driven back and sham'd That wish me misery: Let them be waste to quit their shame, That say to me, fy, fy. 16 Let all be glad and joy in thee That seek thee, let them say, Who thy salvation love, the Lord Be magify'd alway. 17 I poor and needy am, on me The Lord yet care doth take: My help and my deliverer thou, My God no tarrying make. Scripture: Psalm 40

God's goodness to Travellers

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: With thanks unto the Lord confess Lyrics: 1 With thanks unto the Lord confess, Because that good is he; Because his loving kindnesses Lasts to eternity. 2 So say the Lord's redeem'd whom bought He hath from enemies hands; 3 And from the east and west hath brought From south and northern lands. 4 In desart stray'd, in desart way No dwelling town they find. 5 They hungry were, and thirsty they, Their souls within them pin'd. 6 Then did they to Jehovah cry When they were in distress; Who did them set at liberty Out of their anguishes. 7 In such a way as was most right, He led them forth also; That to a ciiy where they might Inhabit they might go. 8 O that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then; And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men. 9 For he the soul that longing lies, Doth th'roughly satisfy; The hungry soul he fills likewise With good abundantly. [2] 10 Such as in darkness and within The shade of death abide: They who are sore afflictions in, And fast in irons ty'd. 11 Because they in rebellion, Against God's word did rise: They also of the highest One The counsel did despise. 12 Therefore with sore affliction He did bring down their heart: Down did they fall, and there was none Could help to them impart. 13 Then did they to Jehovah cry, When they were in distress? Who did them set at liberty Out of their anguishes. 14 He did them out of darkness bring, Also from shade of death: As for the bands that they were in, He them quite broken hath. 15 O that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then: And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men! 16 For he did into shivers shake The gates that were of brass: And he the bar asunder brake That made of iron was. [3] To the Sick 17 Fools do for their iniquities And sins, affliction bear. 18 Their soul abhors all meat likewise They to death's gate draw near. 19 Then they unto Jehovah cry, When they are in distress; Who setteth them at liberty, Out of their anguishes. 29 He did send out his word, and he Unto them healing gave: From out of their destruction free He likewise did them save. 21 Oh that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then: And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men! 22 And of thanksgiving sacrifice Let them their offerings bring: While they his works declare likewise Let them for gladness sing. [4] To the Seafaring. 23 Who go to sea in ships, their acts In waters great who do: 24 These do behold Jehovah's facts, In deeps his wonders too. 25 For he commanded instantly The stormy wind doth rise Which lifts the waves thereof on high, They mount up to the skies. 26 Down to the depths again they strike, Their soul doth melt with ill. 27 They reel and stagger drunkard like, And fail them doth their skill. 28 Then do they to Jehovah cry, In their extream distress: And he them bringeth speedily Out of their anguishes. 29 He makes the storm a calm, that so The waves thereof are quiet; 30 They're glad with rest, he brings them to The haven they desir'd. 31 Oh that men praise Jehovah would For his great goodness then, And for his wonders manifold Unto the sons of men. 32 Within the congregation great Him let them highly praise: [5] To Planters 33 He turns streams to a desart land: To drought the springing well. 34 To barrenness a fruitful land For their sins there who dwell. 35 He makes the wilderness a pool Dry ground turns to a spring. 36 Seats there the hungry where they build Their town of habiting. 37 They vineyards there do plant and dress They likewise sow their fields: Which unto them their fruitfulness With much revenue yields. 38 Yea so he blessed them that they Did greatly multiply Nor yet their cattle suffer'd he To lessen or decay. 39 Again they are diminished, And also bowed down; By tyranny impov'rished, And by affliction. 40 On princes pour contempt doth he, And causeth them to stray: Where solitary desarts be, Wherein there is no way. 41 But from affliction he on high The needy makes to rise; And like a flock doth multiply And make him families, 42 The righteous ones behold it shall And they shall joyful be; And bridle up their mouth shall all That work iniquity. 43 Whoso is wise and will with care These things observing learn: Jehovah's mercies what they are, They clearly shall discern. Scripture: Psalm 107

Ye just in God rejoice

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ye just in God rejoyce, Praise well th' upright doth suit. 2 Praise God with harp, with psalt'ry sing To him on ten string'd lute. 3 A new song sing to him, aloud play skilfully: 4 Because Jehovah's word is right, His works all verity. 5 He loveth righteousness, And also equity, The earth is fully furnish'd with The Lord's benignity. 6 For by jehovah's word The heavens had their frame; And by th' spirit of his mouth, All th' armies of the same. 7 The waters of the sea He gathers as a heap: Together as in store-houses He layeth up the deep. 8 All men throughout the earth, Let them Jehovah fear; Let all the dwellers of the world Unto him rev'rence bear. 9 Because he did but speak The word, and it was made; He did give out commandement, And it was firmly staid. 10 The Lord doth bring to night The heathen counsel wise; He makes to be of none effect What people do devise. 11 The counsel of the Lord Abide for ever shall: The cogitations of his heart To generations all. [2] 12 O blessed nation, Whose God Jehovah is; And people whom for heritage He chosen hat for his. 13 The Lord from heaven looks, All sons of men views well 14 Look from his dwelling place doth he To all on earth that dwell. 15 The hearts of every one Alike he doth them frame, And all their operations He well doth mind the same. 16 By multitude of hosts No king himself doth save, Nor yet by multitude of strength They strong deliverance have. 17 A horse a vain thing is to be a saviour; Nor shall he work deliverance By greatness of his pow'r. 18 On them that do him fear, Lo is Jehovah's eye, Upon them that do place their hope On his benignity. 19 To save alive in death, Their soul from death to free. 20 Our soul doth for Jehovah wait; Our help and shield is he. 21 For our heart joys in him, In's holy name trust we: Thy mercy Lord, let be on us Like as we trust in thee. Scripture: Psalm 33

The Songs of the Prophet Isaiah: Chap. XXVI

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We have a city very strong Lyrics: 1 We have a city very strong, God will appoint salvation, Her walls and bulwarks for to be. 2 Set open ye the gates, that so The righteous nation in may go, That doth observe the verity. 3 In perfect peace keep him thou wilt Whose thoughtful mind on thee is built, Because he doth on thee rely. 4 Trust in the Lord for evermore, For in the Lord Jehovah store Of strength is to eternity. 5 For he brings down who dwell on high, The lofty city low makes lie He lays it low ev'n to the floor, Ev'n to the dust he hath it thrown. 6 The poor man's feet shall tread it down, The feet and steps of needy poor. 7 Uprightness is the just man's way, Thou most upright his path dost weigh. 8 Yea, in thy judgment's way, O Lord. For thee we waited and enquire, To thy name is our soul's desire, And thee in mind still to record. 9 My soul by night desir'd hath thee; Yea, with my spirit, all in me In early seeking thee I yearn: For when on earth thy judgments be, The dwellers in the world shall see, That they thy righteousness may learn. 10 Let to the wicked grace be shown, Yet right'ousness learn will he none. But in the land of uprightness He will both deal unright'ously And he Jehovah's majesty Will not behold, him to confess. 11 Jehovah, when thy hand on high Is lifted up, they will not see: But see, and be asham'd shall they For envy at thy folk likewise, The fire of thy doom'd enemies Shall them devour, ev'n quite away, 12 Lord, peace for us ordain wilt thou, For in us thou hast wrought also Ev'n all our works, our God, O Lord, 13 Other Lords had dominion O'er us besides thee, but alone By thee we will thy name record. 14 They dead are, they shall live no more, They are deceased, they therefore Shall not arise, because thou hast Them visited, and hast them all Destroy'd, and their memorial Thou quite hast made away to waste. 15 Jehovah thou the nation Increased hast: the nation Thou hast increas'd abundantly Therefore thou glorified art, Thou hast remov'd it far apart, Where all the ends of th' earth do he. 16 They visit thee, Lord, in the hour Of trouble, out their pray'r do pour. On them when thy chastisements light. 17 As me that is to travail nigh Is pain'd, and out in pangs doth cry: So have we been, Lord, in thy sight. 18 We have conceiv'd, been paid, forth bro't As wind, and no deliv'rance wrought In earth, nor have the worldlings flew. 19 Thy dead, and mine, shall live and rise, Who dwell in dust, wake, sing likewise, For as the dew of herbs thy dew. Earth shall her dead cast out also. 20 My folk come, to thy chambers go, And shut thy doors about thee fast: Hide thou thy self now as it were But for a little moment there, Until the wrath be overpast. 21 For lo the Lord from's place doth come To execute on them the doom That do upon the earth remain Because of their iniquity: Earth also shall her blood descry, And cover shall no more her slain.

The Song of Hezekiah, after his Recovery from Sickness

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I said, in cutting off my days Lyrics: 10 I Said, in cutting off my days, Go to the gates of graves shall I. And of the remnant of my years I am deprived utterly. 11 I said, the Lord I shall not see, The Lord in land of life behold; And men no more behold shall I With them who dwell within the world. 12 Mine age away from me is put, And moved as a ahepherd's tent. I, weaver like, my life off cut; With pining sickness he me spent. From day, ev'n unto night until Thou quite an end of me wilt make, i3 I count from morning that he will My bones all as a lion break. From day to night thou wilt me waste. 14 Like crane or swallow chatter I, Dove like I mourn, mine eyes up cast Do fail, Lord, help, opprest am I. 15 What shall I say? to me he hath Both spoken and himself done this: I all my life with softly path, Shall walk in my soul's bitterness. 16 Lord by these things men live, and thou By these my spirits life dost give; Thou wilt recover me also, And thou wilt make me for to live. 17 Lo I for peace great grief did find, But freed my soul in love thou hast From pit's corruption: for behind Thy back thou all my sins didst cast. 18 For graves thy praise cannot make known, Nor yet can death thee celebrate! Such as into the pit go down, They for thy truth no more can wait. 19 The living he, the living will Thee praise, as I this day have done: The father to the children still Shall thy great faithfulness make known. 20 Ready to save me was the Lord: Therefore we will my songs of praise Sing in his house with one accord Throughout our life, ev'n all the days. Scripture: Isaiah 33
