Psalm 69 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and powers of death, And all the sons of malice, join To execute their cursed design. Yet, gracious God, thy power and love Has made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son Atoned for sins which we had done. The pangs of our expiring Lord The honors of thy law restored; His sorrows made thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.

Psalm 69

Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods do so environ me, That ev'n unto my very soul come in the waters be. 2 I downward in deep mire do sink, where standing there is none: I am into deep waters come, where floods have o'er me gone. 3 I weary with my crying am, my throat is also dried; Mine eyes do fail, while for my God I waiting do abide. 4 Those men that do without a cause bear hatred unto me, Than are the hairs upon my head in number more they be: They that would me destroy, and are mine en'mies wrongfully, Are mighty: so what I took not, to render forced was I. 5 Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins not covered are from thee. 6 Let none that wait on thee be shamed, Lord God of hosts, for me. O Lord, the God of Israel, let none, who search do make, And seek thee, be at any time confounded for my sake. 7 For I have borne reproach for thee, my face is hid with shame. 8 To brethren strange, to mother's sons an alien I became. 9 Because the zeal did eat me up, which to thine house I bear; And the reproaches cast at thee, upon me fallen are. 10 My tears and fasts, t' afflict my soul, were turnèd to my shame. 11 When sackcloth I did wear, to them a proverb I became. 12 The men that in the gate do sit against me evil spake; They also that vile drunkards were of me their song did make. 13 But, in an acceptable time, my prayer, Lord, is to thee: In truth of thy salvation, Lord, and mercy great, hear me. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, from sinking do me keep; Free me from those that do me hate, and from the waters deep. 15 Let not the flood on me prevail, whose water overflows; Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit her mouth upon me close. 16 Hear me, O Lord, because thy love and kindness is most good; Turn unto me, according to thy mercies' multitude. 17 Nor from thy servant hide thy face: I'm troubled, soon attend. 18 Draw near my soul, and it redeem; me from my foes defend. 19 To thee is my reproach well known, my shame, and my disgrace: Those that mine adversaries be are all before thy face. 20 Reproach hath broke my heart; I'm full of grief: I looked for one To pity me, but none I found; comforters found I none. 21 They also bitter gall did give unto me for my meat: They gave me vinegar to drink, when as my thirst was great. 22 Before them let their table prove a snare; and do thou make Their welfare and prosperity a trap themselves to take. 23 Let thou their eyes so darkened be, that sight may them forsake; And let their loins be made by thee continually to shake. 24 Thy fury pour thou out on them, and indignätion; And let thy wrathful anger, Lord, fast hold take them upon. 25 All waste and desolate let be their habitätion; And in their tabernacles all inhabitants be none. 26 Because him they do persecute, whom thou didst smite before; They talk unto the grief of those whom thou hast wounded sore. 27 Add thou iniquity unto their former wickedness; And do not let them come at all into thy righteousness. 28 Out of the book of life let them be razed and blotted quite; Among the just and rïghteous let not their names be writ. 29 But now become exceeding poor and sorrowful am I: By thy salvation, O my God, let me be set on high. 30 The name of God I with a song most cheerfully will praise; And I, in giving thanks to him, his name shall highly raise. 31 This to the Lord a sacrifice more gräcious shall prove Than bullock, ox, or any beast that hath both horn and hoof. 32 When this the humble men shall see, it joy to them shall give: O all ye that do seek the Lord, your hearts shall ever live. 33 For God the poor hears, and will not his prisoners contemn. 34 Let heav'n, and earth, and seas, him praise, and all that move in them. 35 For God will Judah's cities build, and he will Zion save, That they may dwell therein, and it in sure possession have. 36 And they that are his servants' seed inherit shall the same; So shall they have their dwelling there that love his blessèd name.

Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise.

Praise for temporal Blessings; or, Common and special Mercies

Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69:19 First Line: We bless the Lord, the just, the good Lyrics: 1 We bless the Lord, the just, the good, Who fills our hearts with joy and food: Who pours his blessings from the skies, And loads our days with rich supplies. 2 He sends the sun his circuit round, To cheer the fruits, to warm the ground; He bids the clouds with plenteous rain Refresh the thirsty earth again. 3 'Tis to his care we owe our breath, And all our near escapes from death; Safety and health to God belong; He heals the weak, and guards the strong. 4 He makes the saint and sinner prove The common blessings of his love; But the wide diff'rence that remains, Is endless joy, or endless pains. 5 The Lord that bruised the serpent's head, On all the serpent's seed shall tread; The stubborn sinner's hope confound, And smite him with a lasting wound. 6 But his right hand his saints shall raise From the deep earth, or deeper seas; And bring them to his courts above, There shall they taste his special love.

"I cry till all my voice be gone, In tears I waste the day: My God, behold my longing eyes, And shorten thy delay. "They hate my soul without a cause, And still their number grows More than the hairs around my head, And mighty are my foes. "'Twas then I paid that dreadful debt That men could never pay, And gave those honors to thy law Which sinners took away." Thus in the great Messiah's name, The royal prophet mourns; Thus he awakes our hearts to grief, And gives us joy by turns. "Now shall the saints rejoice, and find Salvation in my name; For I have borne their heavy load Of sorrow, pain, and shame. "Grief, like a garment, clothed me round, And sackcloth was my dress, While I procured for naked souls A robe of righteousness. "Amongst my brethren and the Jews I like a stranger stood, And bore their vile reproach, to bring The Gentiles near to God. "I came in sinful mortals' stead, To do my Father's will; Yet when I cleansed my Father's house, They scandalized my zeal. "My fasting and my holy groans Were made the drunkard's song; But God, from his celestial throne, Heard my complaining tongue. "He saved me from the dreadful deep, Nor let my soul be drowned; He raised and fixed my sinking feet On well-established ground. "'Twas in a most accepted hour My prayer arose on high; And for my sake my God shall hear The dying sinner's cry.

The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abused the Man that checked their sin; While he fulfilled thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. ["My Father's house," said he, "was made A place for worship, not for trade:" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourged the merchants from the place.] [Zeal for the temple of his God Consumed his life, exposed his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as his own.] [His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. [Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that raised him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head.

He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave. "I shall arise to praise thy name, Shall reign in worlds unknown; And thy salvation, O my God, Shall seat me on thy throne."
