Help. Lord. for good and godly men
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #XII (1790) Hymnal Title: The Whole Book of Psalms Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for good and godly men
do perish and decay,
And faith and truth from worldly men
is parted clean away.
2 Whoso doth with his neighbour talk,
'tis all but vainty;
For ev'ry man bethinketh how
to speak deceitfully.
3 But flatt'ring and deceitful lips,
and tongues that be so stout
To speak proud words and make great brags,
the Lord will soon cut out.
4 For they say still, We will prevail,
our lips shall us extol;
Our tongues are ours, we ought to speak;
what lord shall us controul?
5 But for the great complaint and cry
of those that are opprest,
I will arise now, saith the Lord,
and them restore to rest.
6 God's word is like to silver pure,
that from the dross is try'd,
Which hath not less than seven times n
the fire been purify'd.
7 Now since thy promise is to help,
Lord, keep thy promise then,
And save us not and evermore
from this ill kind of men.
8 For now the wicked world if full
of mischiefs manifold,
Whilst vanity with worldly men
so highly is extoll'd. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

do perish and decay;
And faith and truth from worldly men,
is parted cleane away.
2 Who so doth with his neighbor talk,
his talk is all but vaine;
For every man bethinketh how
to flatter, lie and faine.
3 But flattering and deceitfull lips,
and tongues that be so stout
To speak proud words, and make great brags,
the Lord soon cuts them out.
4 For they say still we will prevaile,
our lips shall us extoll;
Our tongues are ours, we ought to speak,
what lord shall us controll?
5 But for the great complaint and cry
of poore and men opprest:
Arise will I now saith the Lord,
and them restore to rest.
6 God's Word is like to silver pure,
that from the dross is tri'd:
And hath no lesse than seven times
in fire been purifi'd.
7 Now sith thy promise is to help,
Lord, keep thy promise then:
And save us not and evermore,
from this ill kind of men.
8 For now this wicked world is full
of mischiefs manifold:
When vanity with worldly men
so highly is extold. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English
