Sing loud to God our strength; with joy

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing loud to God our strength; with joy to Jacob’s God do sing. 2 Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp, timbrel and psaltery bring. 3 Blow trumpets at new moon, and when our feast appointed is: 4 a charge to Israel, and a law of Jacob’s God was this. 5 To Joseph this an ordinance he made, when Egypt land he travelled through, where speech I heard I did not understand. 6 His shoulder I from burdens took, his hands from pots did free. 7 Thou didst in trouble on me call, and I delivered thee: In secret place of thunder I to thee did answer make; and at the streams of Meribah of thee a proof did take. 8 O thou, my people, give an ear, I’ll testify to thee; to thee, O Israel, if thou wilt but hearken unto me. 9 In midst of thee there shall not be any strange god at all; nor unto any god unknown thou bowing down shalt fall. 10 I am the Lord thy God, who did from Egypt land thee guide; I’ll fill thy mouth abundantly, do thou it open wide. 11 My people would not hear my voice, Israel my counsel spurned; 12 I gave them up to their hard hearts, to their own ways they turned. 13 O that my people had me heard, Israel my ways had chose! 14 I had their enemies soon subdued, my hand turned on their foes. 15 The haters of the Lord to him submission should have feign’ed; but as for them, their time should have for evermore remained. 16 He should have also fed them with the finest of the wheat; of honey from the rock thy fill I should have made thee eat.

My heart brings forth a goodly thing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My heart brings forth a goodly thing; my words that I indite concern the King: my tongue’s a pen of one that swift doth write. 2 Thou fairer art than sons of men: into thy lips is store Of grace infused; God therefore thee hath blessed for evermore. 3 O thou that art the mighty One, thy sword gird on thy thigh; even with thy glory excellent, and with thy majesty. 4 For meekness, truth, and righteousness, ride prosperously in state; and thee thine own right hand shall teach things terrible and great. 5 Thine arrows sharply pierce the heart of the enemies of the King; and under thy dominion they the people down do bring. 6 For ever and for ever is, O God, thy throne of might; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre that is right. 7 Thou lovest right and hatest ill; hence God, thy God, even he above thy fellows hath with oil of joy anointed thee. 8 Of aloes, myrrh, and cassia a smell thy garments had, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they made thee glad. 9 Among thy women honourable kings’ daughters were at hand: upon thy right hand did the queen in gold of Ophir stand. 10 O daughter, hearken and regard, and do thine ear incline; likewise forget thy father’s house, and people that are thine. 11 And so thy beauty by the King greatly desired shall be; because his is thy Lord, do thou him worship reverently. 12 The daughter there of Tyre shall be with gifts and offerings great: those of the people that are rich thy favour shall entreat. 13 Behold, the daughter of the King all glorious is within; and with embroideries of gold her garments wrought have been. 14 She shall be brought unto the King in robes with needle wrought; her fellow-virgins following shall unto thee be brought. 15 They shall be brought with gladness great, and mirth on every side, into the palace of the King, and there they shall abide. 16 Thy fathers' place thy sons shall fill whom thou to thee shalt take, and in all places of the earth them noble princes make. 17 Thy name remembered I will make through ages all to be: the people therefore evermore shall praises give to thee.
