Since godly Men decay, O Lord

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #XII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Since godly Men decay, O Lord, do thou my Cause defend; For scarce these wretched Times afford one just and Faithful Friend. 2 One Neighbour now can scarce believe, what th'other does impart; With flatt'ring Lips they all deceive and with a double Heart. 3 But Lips that with Deceit abound, can never prosper long; God's righteous Vengeance will confound the proud blaspheming Tongue. 4 In vain those foolish Boasters say, "Our Tongues are, sure, our own; "With doubtful Words we'll still betray, "and be controul'd by none. 5 For God, who hears the suff'ring Poor, and their Oppression knows, Will soon arise, and give them Rest, in spite of all their Foes. 6 The Word of God shall still abide, and void of Falshood be, As is the Silver, sev'n times try'd, from drossy Mixture free. 7 The Promise of his aiding Grace shall reach its purpos'd End: His Servants from this faithless Race he ever shall defend. 8 Then shall the Wicked be perplex'd, nor know which Way to fly; When those whom they despis'd and vex'd, shall be advanc'd on high. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

How blest is he, who ne'er consents

Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #I (1793) Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents by ill advice to walk, Nor stands in sinners ways, nor fits where men profanely talk; 2 But makes the perfect law of God his bus'ness and delight; Devoutly reads therein by day, and meditates by night. 3 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, with timely fruit does bend, He still shall flourish, and success all his designs attend. 4 Ungodly men, and their attempts, no lasting root shall find; Untimely blasted, and dispers'd, like chaff before the wind. 5 Their guilt shall strike the wicked dumb before the Judge's face: No formal hypocrite shall then among the saints have place. 6 For God approves the just man's ways; to happiness they tend: But sinners, and the paths they tread, shall both in ruin end.
