Praise ye the Lord, for he is good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good, his mercies lasting be; 2 let his redeemed say so, whom he from hand of foes did free; 3 and gathered them out of the lands, from north, south, east, and west. 4 They strayed in desert's pathless way, not city found to rest. 5 Their soul with thirst and hunger faints when troubles sore them press, 6 they cry unto the Lord, and he them frees from their distress. 7 Them also in a way to walk that right is he did guide, that they might to a city go, wherein they might abide. 8 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, and for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 9 For he the soul that longing is doth fully satisfy; with goodness he the hungry soul doth fill abundantly. 10 Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death's shade abide, whom strongly hath affliction bound and irons fast have tied: 11 because against the words of God they wrought rebelliously; and they the counsel did contemn of him that is most High: 12 With labour he brought down their hearts, they fell, and help none gave; 13 in trouble to the Lord they cried, from straits he did them save. 14 He out of darkness did them bring, and from death's shade them take; their bands, wherewith they had been bound, he did asunder break. 15 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, and for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 16 Because the mighty gates of brass in pieces he did tear, by him in sunder also cut the bars of iron were. 17 Fools, for their trespasses and sins, do sore affliction ber; 18 all kinds of meat their soul abhors; they to death's gates draw near. 19 In grief they cry to God; he saves them from their miseries. 20 He sends his word, them heals, and them from their destruction frees. 21 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, and for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 22 And let them sacrifice to him offerings of thankfulness; and let them show abroad his works in songs of joyfulness. 23 Who go to sea in ships and in great waters trading be, 24 the Lord's works these within the deep and his great wonders see. 25 For he commands, and forth in haste the stormy tempest flies, which makes the sea with rolling waves aloft to swell and rise. 26 They mount to heaven, then to the depths they do go down again; their soul doth faint and melt away with trouble and with pain. 27 They reel and stagger like one drunk at their wit's end they be: 28 in trouble to the Lord they cry, from straits he sets them free. 29 The storm is changed into a calm at his command and will; so that the waves, which raged before, now quiet are and still. 30 Then are they glad, because at rest and quiet now they be: so to the haven he them brings, which they desired to see. 31 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, and for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men! 32 Among the people gathered let them exalt his name; among assembled elders spread is most renowned fame. 33 He turneth springs to thirsty ground, floods to a wilderness; 34 for sins of those that dwell therein, fat land to barrenness. 35 He turns to pools the wilderness long parched with drought and burned; by him the ground dried up before to water-springs is turned. 36 And there, for dwelling, he a place doth to the hungry give, that they a city may prepare where they in peace may live. 37 There sow they fields, and vineyards plant, which yield fruits of increase; 38 his blessing makes them multiply, lets not their herds decrease. 39 Again they are diminished, and brought to low estate, by pressure of calamity, and by affliction great. 40 On princes he doth pour contempt, and causeth them to stray, and wander in a wilderness, wherein there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from all their miseries, and even like unto a flock he maketh families. 42 They that are righteous shall rejoice, when they the same shall see, and, as ashamed, stop her mouth shall all iniquity. 43 Whoso is wise, and will these things observe, and them record, even they shall understand the love and kindness of the Lord.

The mighty God, the Lord, doth speak

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The mighty God, the Lord, doth speak, and to earth doth call, even from the rising of the sun to where he hath his fall. 2 From out of Zion, his own hill, where beauty dwells enshrined, God in his glorious majesty and mighty power hath shined. 3 Our God assuredly shall come, keep silence shall not he; before him fire shall waste, great storms shall round about him be. 4 He to the heavens above shall call, and to the earth below, that of his people he to all his judgment just may show. 5 Let all my saints together now unto me gathered be, those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6 And then the heavens shall declare his righteousness abroad; because the Lord himself doth come; none else is judge but God. 7 Hear, O my people, I will speak, and I will testify against thee, O mine Israel; God, even thy God, am I. 8 Not for thy sacrifices I reprove thee ever will, nor for burnt-offerings, which have been before me offered still. 9 I’ll take no bullock nor he-goats from house nor folds of thine: 10 beasts of the forest, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11 The fowls are all to me well known that mountains high do yield; and I do challenge as mine own the wild beasts of the field. 12 If I were hungry, I would not to thee for need complain; for earth, with all its fulness, doth to me of right pertain. 13 That I to eat the flesh of bulls take pleasure dost thou think? Or that I need, to quench my thirst, the blood of goats to drink? 14 Nay, rather unto me, thy God, thanksgiving offer thou; to the Most High perform thy word, and fully pay thy vow: 15 and in the day of thy distress do thou unto my cry; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16 But to the wicked man God saith, How is it thou dost dare my covenant in thy mouth to take, my statutes to declare? 17 And yet all good instruction thou perversely hated hast, likewise my words behind thy back thou in contempt dost cast. 18 When thou a thief didst see, with him thou didst consent to sin, and with the vile adulterers thou hast partaker been. 19 Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, thy tongue deceit doth frame. 20 Thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st, thy mother’s son to shame. 21 These things thou wickedly hast done, and I have silent been; thou thought’st that I was like thyself, and did approve thy sin: but I will sharply thee reprove, and set before thine eyes, arrayed in order, thy misdeeds and thine iniquities. 22 Consider this, and be afraid, ye that forget the Lord, lest I in pieces tear you all, when none can help afford. 23 He truly doth me glorify who offers to me praise; and him I'll God's salvation show that orders right his ways.

Vain Are the Hopes That Rebels Place

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Vain are the hopes that rebels place Upon their birth and blood, Descended from a pious race; Their fathers now with God. 2. He from the caves of earth and hell Can take the hardest stones And fill the house of Abra’m well With new-created sons. 3. Such wondrous power doth He possess Who formed our mortal frame, Who called the world from emptiness, The world obeyed and came.
