Psalm 36
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 First Line: High in the heav'ns, eternal God Lyrics:
High in the heav'ns, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.
My God! how excellent thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of thy wings.
From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.
Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.

Psalm 36
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter Chambers Smith Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 211 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish; but naught changeth Thee.
4 Thou reignest in glory, Thou rulest in light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

Psalm 36
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:1-7 First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics:
When man grows bold in sin,
My heart within me cries,
"He hath no faith of God within,
Nor fear before his eyes.
[He walks awhile concealed
In a self-flatt'ring dream,
Till his dark crimes at once revealed
Expose his hateful name.]
His heart is false and foul,
His words are smooth and fair;
Wisdom is banished from his soul,
And leaves no goodness there.
He plots upon his bed
New mischiefs to fulfil
He sets his heart, and hand, and head,
To practise all that's ill.
But there's a dreadful God,
Though men renounce his fear;
His justice, hid behind the cloud,
Shall one great day appear.
His truth transcends the sky,
In heav'n his mercies dwell;
Deep as the sea his judgments lie,
His anger burns to hell.
How excellent his love,
Whence all our safety springs!
O never let my soul remove
From underneath his wings.

Psalm 36
Psalm 36
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:1-2 First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics:
While men grow bold in wicked ways,
And yet a God they own,
My heart within me often says,
"Their thoughts believe there's none."
Their thoughts and ways at once declare,
Whate'er their lips profess,
God hath no wrath for them to fear,
Nor will they seek his grace.
What strange self-flatt'ry blinds their eyes!
But there's a hast'ning hour,
When they shall see with sore surprise
The terrors of thy power.
Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Though mountains melt away;
Thy judgments are a world unknown,
A deep, unfathomed sea.
Above the heav'ns' created rounds,
Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds
Where time and nature end.
Safety to man thy goodness brings,
Nor overlooks the beast;
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy children choose to rest.
[From thee, when creature-streams run low.
And mortal comforts die,
Perpetual springs of life shall flow,
And raise our pleasures high.
Though all created light decay,
And death close up our eyes,
Thy presence makes eternal day,
Where clouds can never rise.]

Awake, My Soul, in Joyful Lays
Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,053 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
and sing your great Redeemer's praise.
He justly claims a song from me,
his loving-kindness is so free.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so free.
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
yet loved me not withstanding all,
and saved me from my lost estate,
his loving-kindness is so great.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so great.
3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes,
where earth and hell my way oppose,
he safely leads my soul along,
his loving-kindness is so strong.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so strong.
4 So when I pass death's gloomy vale,
and life and mortal pow'rs shall fail,
O may my last expiring breath
his loving-kindness sing in death.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness sing in death.
5 Then shall I mount, and soar away
to the bright world of endless day;
there shall I sing, with sweet surprise,
his loving-kindness in the skies,
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness in the skies.

interposed his precious blood.

Wash all my sins away!

Shall never lose its pow'r
Till all the ransom'd church of God
Be sav'd, to sin no more.

Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save.

Psalm 36: The wicked man's transgression
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 First Line: The wicked man's transgression Lyrics:
1The wicked man’s transgression
within my heart thus says,
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.
2Because himself he flattereth
in his own blinded eye,
Until the hatefulness be found
of his iniquity.
3Words from his mouth proceeding are,
fraud and iniquity:
He to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.
4He mischief, lying on his bed,
most cunningly doth plot:
He sets himself in ways not good,
ill he abhorreth not.
5Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns;
thy truth doth reach the clouds:
6Thy justice is like mountains great;
thy judgments deep as floods:
Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
7How precious is thy grace!
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
men’s sons their trust shall place.
8They with the fatness of thy house
shall be well satisfy’d;
From rivers of thy pleasures thou
wilt drink to them provide.
9Because of life the fountain pure
remains alone with thee;
And in that purest light of thine
we clearly light shall see.
10Thy loving-kindness unto them
continue that thee know;
And still on men upright in heart
thy righteousness bestow.
11Let not the foot of cruel pride
come, and against me stand;
And let me not removed be,
Lord, by the wicked’s hand.
12There fallen are they, and ruined,
that work iniquities:
Cast down they are, and never shall
be able to arise.

My crafty foe, with flattering art
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 My crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Art,
His wicked Purpose would disguise;
But Reason whispers to my Heart,
No Fear of God's before his Eyes.
2 He sooths himself, retir'd from Sight;
Secure he thinks his treach'rous Game;
Till his dark Plots, expos'd to Light,
Their false Contriver brand with Shame.
3 In Deeds he is my Foe confess'd,
Whilst with his Tongue he speaks me fair:
True Wisdom's banish'd from his Brest,
And Vice has sole Dominion there.
4 His wakeful Malice spends the Night
In forging his accurs'd Designs;
His obstinate, ungen'rous Spite
No execrable Means declines.
5 But, Lord, thy Mercy, my sure Hope,
The highest Orb of Heav'n transcends;
Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope
Beyond the sparkling Skies extends.
6 Thy Justice like the Hills remains;
Unfathom'd Depths thy Judgments are;
Thy Providence the world sustains;
The whole Creation is thy Care.
7 Since of thy Goodness All partake,
With what Assurance should the Just
Thy shelt'ring Wings their Refuge make,
And Saints to thy Protection trust!
8 Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led,
To banquet on thy Love's Repast:
And drink, as from a fountain's Head,
Of Joys that shall forever last.
9 With Thee the Springs of Life remain;
Thy Presence is eternal Day:
10 O! let thy Saints thy Favour gain;
To upright Hearts thy Truth display.
11 Whilst Pride's insulting Foot would spurn,
And wicked Hand my Life surprise;
12 Their Mischiefs on themselves return;
Down, down, they're fall'n, no more to rise.

And maketh the wounded heart whole.

The River of Pleasure
A Psalm of David, the Servant of the LORD
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 First Line: The trespass of the wicked man Lyrics: 1 The trespass of the wicked man
so plain and open lies;
My heart concludes, the fear of GOD
is not before his eyes.
2 For in his own deceitful view
self-flatteries abound;
Till his iniquity breaks out,
and odious is found.
2 The words that issue from his mouth,
are vain and guileful too;
He quite hath ceased to be wise,
and any good to do.
4 Yea, when he lies upon his bed,
he mischief meditates;
He set himself in no good way,
nor any evil hates.
[2 Part]
5 Thy mercy O JEHOVAH is
within the heav'ns on high;
thy faithfulness does also reach
above the cloudy sky.
6 Like mountains great* thy righteousness!
thy judgments a great deep!
Both man and beast,Thou kindly LORD
dost condescend to keep.
7 O GOD, thy loving-kindness is
of wondrous excellence:
Therefore in shadow of thy wings,
men's sons put confidence.
8 Ev'n of the fatness of thy house,
they to the full shall take;
And of the stream of thy delights,
to drink Thou wilt them make.
9 Because the flowing spring of life,
ever abides in thee;
And in thy light, the light of grace
and glory we shall see.
10 O stretch thy loving-kindness forth
to all who Thee do know;
And to all those of upright heart
thy righteousness still show.
11 I suffer not the foot of pride
to make approach to me;
Nor by the hand of wicked men
let me removed be.
12 Lo There they all are fallen down,
who work iniquities;
Down are they cast, and never shall
be able to arise.

Psalm 36:5-11 (A Responsorial Setting)
Dixit injustus
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 First Line: The wicked with his works unjust Lyrics: 1 The wicked with his works unjust,
doth thus perswade his heart:
That of the Lord he hath no trust
his feare is set apart.
2 Yet doth he joy in his estate,
to walk as he began:
So long till he deserve the hate
of God and eke of man.
3 His words are wicked, vile, and naught,
his tongue no truth doth tell:
Yet at no hand will he be taught
which way he may do well.
4 When he should sleep, then doth he muse
his mischiefs to fulfill:
No wicked waies doth he refuse,
nor nothing that is ill.
5 But Lord thy goodnesse doth ascend
above the heavens hie,
So doth thy truth it selfe extend
unto the cloudie skir.
6 Much more than hils both high and steep,
thy justice is exprest:
Thy judgments like the seas most deep,
thou sav'st both man and beast.
7 Thy mercy is above all things,
O God, it doth excell:
In trust whereof as in thy wings,
the sonnes of men shall dwell.
8 Within thy house they shall be fed,
with plenty at their will:
Of all delights they shall be sped,
and take thereof their fill.
9 For why? the well of life so pure
doth ever flow from thee:
And in thy light we are full sure
the lasting light to see.
10 From such as thee desire to know
let not thy grace depart:
Thy righteousnesse declare and shew
to men of upright heart.
11 Let not the proud on me prevaile,
O Lord, of thy good grace:
Nor let the wicked me assaile,
to throw me out of place.
12 But they in their device shall fall,
that wicked works maintaine:
They shall be overthrown withall,
and never rise againe.
