In thee I put my steadfast trust

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXI (1767) Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 In thee I put my stedfast Trust, LORD, let me not be put to Shame; Incline thine Ear, and save my Soul, For great and righteous is thy Name: To thee, for Help I will resort, For thou art still my Rock and Fort. 2 From cruel and ungodly Men, Protect my Soul and set me free; For thou my early Youth till now, My constant Hope hath been in thee: Thy Care did safely guard my infant Days, And brought me forth to sing thy Praise. 3 While some on me with Wonder gaze, Thy Hand unseen supports me still; Thy Honour therefore, and thy Praise, My Mouth with grateful Joy shall fill: Then cast me not, O LORD, away, Tho' Strength and Vigour should decay. 4 My Foes against my Fame, and me, With never ceasing Malice speak; Against my Soul they lay their Snares, And mutual Council daily take: "On GOD, say they, he did rely; 'Now take him whilst no Help is nigh." 5 But thou, my GOD, withdraw not far, On thee for speedy Help I call; To Shame and Ruin bring my Foes, Who seek with Craft to work my Fall: And I, who still on thee depend, My Time to come in Praise will spend: Part II 6 Thy righteous Acts and saving Health, My Mouth shall evermore declare; Unable yet to sum them all, Tho' counted o'er with utmost Care: LORD, in thy Strength I will go on, And trust thy Righteousness alone. 7 Thou, Lord, hast taught me from my Youth, To bless and praise thy glorious Name; And ever since thy wond'rous Works Have been with Joy my constant Theme. On them I will with Pleasure dwell, And to the world thy Goodness tell. 8 Then now forsake me not, when I With Age am grey and feeble grown; 'Till I to these and future Times, Thy Strength and mighty Pow'r have shown, For I thy Mercy will proclaim, And spread abroad thy glorious Name. 9 How high thy Justice soars, O GOD! How very great and wond'rous are The mighty Works which Thou hast done? O LORD! who can with Thee compare? Altho' thy Hand hath me oppress'd, Yet shall my Woes be all redress'd. 10 Thro' thee, my Time to come, shall be With growing Pow'r and Greatness crown'd; And me who dismal Years have past, Thy lasting comforts shall surround: Therefore my Harp and Voice I'll raise, To Jacob's GOD, in Songs of Praise. 11 Then grateful Joy shall fill my Mouth And chearful Hymns employ my Voice; My thankful Soul, by thee redeem'd, Shall in thy Strength and Pow'r rejoice; My tongue thy Justice shall proclaim, Because thou brought'st my Foes to Shame, Topics: Prayers Of the Old and Afflicted; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Scripture: Psalm 71 Languages: English Tune Title: [In thee I put my stedfast trust]

Judge thou my Cause, O GOD!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXVI (1767) Tune Key: a minor Lyrics: 1 Judge thou my Cause, O GOD! For I have ever trod The Paths that righteous are and just; I shall not be disgraced, Since I have always placed, In thee alone my Hope and Trust 2 Search, prove each inward Part; Examine thou my Heart Which lies uncover'd to thy View: From Sin I have refrained, My Righteousness retained, And will the Ways of Truth pursue. 3 For still I keep thy Grace, O LORD, before my Face, And in thy Mercy take Delight; Thy Truth is my Direction, To bring me to Perfection, And keep me in the Path that's right. 4 The Idle or Profane, Could ne'er my Friendship gain; For in their Deeds I take not Part: Nor could the sly Deceiver, With all his Treach'ry, ever Win to his Ways my faithful Heart. 5 I hat the busy Crew, Who Mischief still pursue, And ever make distracted Times; Their Ways I ne'er approved, Their Converse never loved, But shun them as I shun their Crimes. Part II 6 My Hands in Innocence, I'll wash from all Offence; Make thou, Oh GOD, my Heart so pure, That to thy Altar going, No Spot or Blemish shewing, My Welcome may be found secure. 7 My Thanks I'll publish there, And to the World declare, Thy vast Renown and mighty Fame; My Heart with Rapture glowing, My Tongue for ever shwoing, The Honours due to thy great Name. 8 Thy Sanctuaries, LORD, To my Delight afford, My Soul in Peace reposing there; 'Tis there thou most excelleth; 'Tis ther thine Honour dwelleth; And thither I with Joy repari. 9 Let not the Sinners Doom, On me, thy Servant, come; Nor leave my Soul to be confin'd, With those, who Blood enjoying, The Harmless are destroying; To Blood and Murder still inclin'd. 10 Urg'd by a wicked spite, They seize another's Right, And make Oppression thus their Trade; They secret Bribes are taking, Their Oaths in private breaking, Or else by open Force invade. 11 But my Delight shall be, To walk in Falshood free; The Paths of Truth I will pursue: Then by thy Grace direct me, In virtuous Ways protect me; Thy former Mercies, LORD, renew! 12 My Foes assail in vain, I still my Ground maintain; Tho' arm'd with Rage they stand around: Among the Congregation Of Saints, I'll fix my Station, Thy Praises ever to resound.

Newman Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E158 (1913) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Tune Key: a flat minor First Line: Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on; Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on; I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years. 3 So long Thy pow'r has blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

Let all the Just with one Consent

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXIII (1767) Tune Key: a minor Lyrics: 1 Let all the Just with one Consent, To GOD their chearful Voices raise; For well the Righteous it becomes To sing before him Songs of Praise. 2 Let Harps and Psalteries and Lutes At once in joyful Concert meet; And new-made Songs of loud Applause, The heav'nly Harmony complete. 3 For faithful is the Word of GOD, His wond'rous Works with Truth abound; He Justice loves, and all the Earth Is with his tender Mercy crown'd. 4 By his Almighty Word, at first, The glorious Arch of Heav'n was rear'd; And all the beauteous Hosts of Light, At his Command at once appear'd. 5 The swelling Floods, together roll'd, He makes in mountain Heaps to lie; And lays, as in a Store-house strong, His wat'ry Treasures safely by. 6 Let Earth, and all that dwell therein, Before his Presence trembling stand; For when he spake the Word, 'twas done, 'Twas fix'd by his supreme Command. 7 He, when the Heathen closely plot, Their secret Counsels undermines; His Wisdom ineffectual makes, The foolish Peopl'es rash Designs. 8 Whate'er the mighty LORD decrees, Shall doubtless stand for ever sure; The settled Purpose of his Heart To endless Ages shall endure. Part II 9 How happy then, are they, to whom The LORD supreme, for GOD is known; Whom he, from all the World besides, Has chosen out to be his own! 10 He all the Nations of the Earth, From Heav'n his lofty Throne surveys; He views their Works, and knows their Thoughts, For by his Pow'r their Hearts were made. 11 No King is safe by num'rous Hosts, Their boasted Strength the Strong deceives; No manag'd Horse by Force or Speed, His gallant war-like Rider saves. 12 'Tis GOD, who those that trust in him, Beholds with ever gracious Eyes; He frees their Souls from Death; their Wants, In Times of Famine, he supplies. 13 Our Souls on GOD with Patience, wait, Our Help and only Shield is he; Then, LORD, let still our Hearts rejoice, Because our Trust is plac'd in thee! 14 The Riches of thy Mercy, LORD,, To us, thy Servants still extend! As we, for all our various wants, On thee, our GOD, alone depend.

Let GOD, the GOD of Battle, rise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXVIII (1767) Tune Key: a minor Lyrics: 1 Let GOD, the GOD of Battle, rise, And scatter his presumptuous Foes; Let shameful Rout their Host surprise, Who spitefully his Pow'r oppose. 2 As Smoke in Tempests Rage is lost, Or Wax into the Furnace cast; So let their sacrilegious Host, Before his wrathful Presence waste. 3 But let the Servants of his Will His Favour's gentle Beams enjoy; Their upright Hearts let Gladness fill, And chearful Songs their Tongues employ. 4 To him your Voice in Anthems raise; JEHOVAH's awful Name he bears: In him rejoice, extol his Praise, Who rides upon high-rolling Spheres. 5 Him, from his Empire of the Skies, To this low World Compassion draws, The Orphan's Claim to patronize, And judge the injur'd Widow's Cause. 6 'Tis GOD, who from a foreign Soil, Restores poor Exiles to their Home; Makes Captives free; and fruitless Toil, Their proud Oppressors righteous Doom. 7 'Twas so of old, when thou didst lead In Person, LORD, our Armies forth; Strange Terrors thro' the Desart spread, Convulsions shook th'astonish'd Earth. 8 The breaking Clouds did Rain distil, And Heav'n's high Arches shook with Fear, How then should Sinai's humble Hill, Of Israel's GOD, the Presence bear? 9 Thy Hand, at famish'd Earth's Complaint, Reliev'd her from celestial Stores; And, when thy Heritage was faint, Assuag'd the Drought with plenteous Show'rs. 10 Where Savages had rag'd before, At Ease thou mad'st our Tribes reside, And in the Desert, for the Poor Thy gen'rous Bounty did provide. Part II 11 Thou gav'st the Word, we sallied forth, And in that pow'rful Word o'ercame; Whilst Virgin-troops, with Songs of Mirth, In State our Conquests did proclaim. 12 Vast Armies, by such Gen'rals led, As yet had ne'er receiv'd a Foil, Forsook their Camp with sudden Dread, And to our Women left the Spoil. 13 Tho' Egypt's Drudges you have been, Your Army's Wings shall shine as bright As Doves in golden Sunshine seen, Or silver'd o'er with paler Light. 14 'Twas so, when GOD's almighty Hand O'er scatter'd Kings the Conquest won; Our Troops, drawn up on Jordan's Strand, High Salmon's glitt'ring Snow outshone. 15 From thence to Jordan's farther Coast, And Bashan's Hill, we did advance: No more her Height shall Bashan boast, But that she's GOD's Inheritance. 16 But wherefore (tho' the Honour's great) Should this, O Mountain, swell your Pride? For Sion is his chosen Seat, Where he forever will reside. 17 His Chariot's numberless; his Pow'rs Are heav'nly Hosts, that wait His Will; His Presence now fills Sion's Tow'rs, As once it honour'd Sinai's Hill. 18 Ascending high, in Triumph, thou Captivity hast Captive led; And on thy People didst bestow The Spoil of Armies, once their Dread. 19 Ev'n Rebels shall partake thy Grace, And humble Proselytes repair, To worship at thy Dwelling Place, And all the World pay Homage there. 20 For Benefits each Day bestow'd, Be daily his great Name ador'd; Who is our Saviour, and our GOD, Of Life and Death the Sov'reign LORD. 21 But Justice for His harden'd Foes, Proportion'd Vengeance hath decreed, To wound the hoary Head of those, Who in presumptuous Crimes proceed. 22 The LORD hath thus in Thunder spoke, "As I subdu'd prous Bashan's King, "Once more I'll break my People's Yoke, "And from the Deep my Servants bring: 23 "Their Feet shall with a crimson Flood "Of slaughter'd Foes be cover'd o'er; "Nor Earth receive such impious Blood, "But leave for Dogs th' unhallow'd Gore." Part III 24 When, marching to thy blest Abode, The wond'rous Multitude survey'd The pompous State of Thee, O GOD, In Robes of Majesty array'd. 25 Sweet-singing Levites led the Van, Loud Instruments brought up the Rear, Between both Troops, a Virgin Train With Voice and Timbrel charm'd the Ear. 26 This was the Burden of their Song, "In full Assemblies bless the LORD, "All who to Israel's Tribes belong, "The GOD of Israel's Praise record." 27 Nor little Benjamin alone From neighb'ring Bounds did there attend, Nor only Judah's nearer Throne, Her Counsellors in State did send. 28 But Zebulon's remoter Seat, And Napthli's more distant Coast, (The grand Procession to complete) Sent up their Tribes, a princely Host. 29 Thus GOD, to Strength and Union brought Our Tribes, at Strife till that blest Hour: This Work, which Thou, O GOD, hast wrought, Confirm with fresh Recruits of Pow'r. 30 To visit Salem, LORD, descend And Sion, thy terrestrial Throne; Where Kings with Presents shall attend, And Thee with offer'd Crowns attone. 31 Break down the Spear-Mens Ranks, who threat Like pamper'd Herds of savage Might, Their silver-armour'd Chiefs defeat, Who in destructive War delight. 32 Egypt shall then to GOD stretch forth Her Hands, and Afric Homage bring: 32 The scatter'd Kingdoms of the Earth, Their common Sov'reigns Praises sing; 33 Who, mounted on the loftiest Sphere Of antient Heav'n, sublimely rides; From whence his dreadful Voice we hear, Like that of warring Winds and Tides. 34 Ascribe the Pow'r to GOD most high; Of humble Israel he takes Care; Whose Strength, from out the dusky Sky, Darts shining Terrors thro' the Air. 35 How dreadful are the sacred Courts, Where GOD has fix'd his earthly Throne! His Strength his feeble Saints supports: Praise ye the LORD, our GOD alone.

LORD, let thy just Decrees the King

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXII (1767) Tune Key: a minor Lyrics: 1 LORD, let thy just Decrees the King In all his Ways direct; And let his Son, throughout his Reign, Thy righteous Laws respect. So shall he still thy People judge, With pure and upright Mind; Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him, Their just Protector find. 2 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth, The happy Fruits of Peace; Which all the Land shall own to be, The work of Righteousness; Whilst he the poor and needy Race. Shall rule with gentle Sway, And from their humble Necks, shall take Oppressive Yoaks away. 3 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear Shall then be rooted fast, As long as Sun and Moon endure, Or Time itself shall last. He shall descend like Rain, that chears The Meadow's second Birth; Or like war Show'rs, whose gentle Drops, Refresh the thirsty Earth. 4 In his blest Days the Just and Good Shall be with Favour crown'd; The happy Land shall every where With endless Peace abound. His uncontroul'd Dominion shall From Sea to Sea extend; Begin at proud Euphrates' Stream, At Nature's Limits end. 5 To him the Savage Nations round, Shall bow their servile Heads; His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust Where he his Conquest spreads. The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles, Shall costly Presents bring; From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come, And wealthy Saba's King. 6 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth His humble Homage pay; And diff'ring Nations gladly join, To own his righteous Sway. For he shall set the needy free, When they for Succour cry; Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor, And all their Wants supply. Part II 7 His Providence, for needy Souls Shall due Supplies prepare; And over their defenceless Lives, Shall watch with tender Care. He shall preserve and keep their Souls From Fraud and Rapine free; And in his Sight, their guiltless Blood Of mighty Price shall be. 8 Therefore shall GOD his Life and Reign To many Years extend; Whilst Eastern Princes Tribute pay, And golden Presents send. For him shall constant Pray'rs be made, Thro' all his prosp'rous Days; His just Dominion shall afford A lasting Theme of Praise. 9 Of useful Grain thro' all the Land, Great Plenty shall appear; A Handful sown on Mountain Tops, A mighty Crop shall bear. Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds, A rattling Noise shall yield; The City too shall thrive, and vie For Plenty, with the Field. 10 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name, Thro' endless Years shall run; His spotless Fame shall shine as bright And lasting as the Sun. In him the Nations of the Earth Shall be completely blest, And his unbounded Happiness By ev'ry Tongue confest. 11 Then bless'd be GOD, the mighty LORD, The GOD whom Israel fears; Who only wond'rous in his Works, Beyond Compare, appears. Let Earth be with His Glory fill'd; Forever bless his Name; Whilst to his Praise the list'ning World, Their glad Assent proclaim.
