Thus I resolv'd before the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #39 (1789) Scripture: Psalm 39 Lyrics: 1 Thus I resolved before the Lord, "Now will I watch my tongue, "Lest I let slip one sinful word, "Or do my neighbour wrong." 2 Whene'er constrain'd a while to stay With men of lives profane, I'll set a double guard that day, Nor let my talk be vain. 3 I'll scarce allow my lips to speak The pious thoughts I feel, Lest scoffers should th' occasion take To mock my holy zeal. 4 Yet if some proper hour appear, I'll not be over-aw'd, But let the scoffing sinners hear That we can speak for God. Part II. 5 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou maker of my frame; I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 6 A span is all that we can boast, How short, how fleet our time! Man is but vanity and dust, In all his flow'r and prime. 7 See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o'er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 8 Some walk in honour's gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore, They toil for heirs, they know not who, And strait are seen no more. 9 What should I wish or wait for then From creatures, earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 10 Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Part III. 11 God of my life, look gently down Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. 12 Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I’ll not attempt a murmuring word, Against thy chast'ning hand. 13 Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. 14 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble pow'rs can ne’er withstand, And all our beauty’s lost. 15 I’m but a stranger here below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the summons hear! 16 But if my life be spar'd a while, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my bus'ness still, And I’ll declare thy love.
