Deus stetit
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Amid the presse with men of might Lyrics: 1 Amid the presse with men of might
the Lord himselfe doth stand,
To plead the cause of truth and right,
with judges of the land.
2 How long (said he) will you proceed,
false judgement to award
And have respect for love of meed,
the wicked to regard.
3 Whereas of due you should defend
the fatherlesse and weak:
And when the poore man doth contend,
in judgement justly speak.
4 If ye be wise, defend the cause
of poore men in their right:
And rid the needy from the clawes
of tyrants force and might.
5 But nothing will they know or learne,
in vaine to them I talk:
They will not see, or ought discerne,
but still in darknesse walk.
For lo, even now the time is come,
that all things fall to nought:
And likewise lawes both all and some,
for gaine are sold and bought.
I had decreed it my sight,
as gods to take you all:
And children to the most of might,
for love I did you call.
7 But notwithstanding ye shall die
as men, and so decay:
O tyrants I shall you destroy,
and pluck you quite away.
8 Up, Lord, and let thy strength be known,
and judge the world with might:
For why? all nations are thy own,
to take them as thy right. Scripture: Psalm 82
Deus stetit
Dominus illuminatio
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord is both my health & light Lyrics: 1 The Lord is both my health & light,
shall man make me dismaid?
Sith God doth give me strength & might,
why should I be afraid?
2 While that my foes with all their strength
began with me to brawll:
Thinking to eate me up, at length
themselves have caught the fall.
3 Though they in camp against me lie,
my heart is not afraid:
In battell pight if they will try,
I trust in God for aid.
4 One thing of God I do require,
that he will not deny:
For which I pray and will desire,
till he to me apply.
5 That I within his holy place
my life throughout may dwell:
To see the beauty of his face,
and view his Temple well.
6 In time of dread he shall me hide,
within his place most pure:
And keep me secret by his side,
as on a rock most sure.
7 At length I know the Lord's good grace
shall make me strong and stout:
My foes to foile and cleane deface,
that compasse me about.
8 Therefore within his house will I
give sacrifice of praise:
With Psalmes and songs I will apply
to laud the Lord alwaies.
The second Part:
9 Lord heare the voice of my complaint,
for which to thee I call:
Have mercy Lord on me opprest,
and send me help witall.
10 My heart doth knowledge unto thee,
I sue to have thy grace:
Then seek my face, saist thou to me,
Lord I will seek thy face.
11 In wrath turn not thy face away,
nor suffer me to slide:
Thou art my help still to this day,
be still my God and guide.
12 My parents both their sonne forsook,
and cast me off at large:
E'en then the Lord himselfe yet took
of me the cure and charge.
13 Teach me O Lord the way to thee,
and lead me on forth right:
For feare of such as watch for me,
to trap me if they might.
14 Do not betake me to the will
of them that be my foes;
For they surmise against me still
false witnesse to depose.
15 My heart would faint but that in me
this hope is fixed fast:
The Lord Gods good grace shall I see
in life that aye shall last.
16 Trust still in God, whose whole thou art,
his will abide thou must:
He shall ease and strength thy heart
if thou in him do trust.
Scripture: Psalm 27
Dominus illuminatio
Exultate iusti
Author: J. H. Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce,
it is a seemly sight:
That upright men with thankfull voice
should praise the Lord of might.
2 Praise ye the Lord with harp and song
in Psalmes and pleasant things:
With Lutem and instrument among,
that soundeth with ten strings.
3 Sing to the Lord a song most new,
with courage give him praise:
4 For why? his word is ever true,
his works and all his waies.
5 To judgement, equity and right,
he hath a great good will:
And with his gifts he doth delight
the earth throughout to fill.
6 For by the word of God alone
the heavens all were wroght:
Their hoasts and powers every one
his breath to passe hath brought.
7 The waters great gathered hath he
on heapes within the shore:
And hid them in the depth to be,
as in a house of store.
8 All men on earth both least and most,
feare God and keep his law.
Ye that inhabit in each coast
dread him and stand in awe.
9 What he commanded wrought it was
at once with present speed:
What he doth will is brought to passe
with full effect indeed.
10 The counsels of the nations rude
the Lord doth bring to naught:
He doth defeate the multitude
of their device and thought.
1 But his decrees continue still,
they never slack nor swage:
The motions of his mind and will
take place in every age.
The second Part:
12 And blest they to whom the Lord
as God and guide is known:
Whom he doth chuse of meere accord,
to take them as his own.
13 The Lord from heaven cast his sight,
on men mortall by birth:
14 Considering from his seat of might
the dwellers on the earth.
15 The Lord, I say, whose had hath wrought
man's heart, and doth it frame:
For he alone doth know the thought
and working of the same.
16 A King that trusteth in his hoast,
shall nought prevaile at length;
The man that of his might doth boast,
shall fail for all his strength.
17 The troops of horsemen eke shall fail,
their sturdy steeds shall swerve:
The strength of horse shall not prevaile,
the rider to preserve.
18 But lo the eyes of God intend
and watch to aid the just:
With such as feare him to offend,
and on his goodnesse trust:
19 That he of death and great distresse,
may set their soules from dread;
And if that dearth their land oppresse,
in hunger them to feed.
20 Wherefore our soul doth whole depend
on God our strength and stay,
He is our shield us to defend,
and drive all darts away.
21 Our soule in God hath joy and game,
rejoycing in his might:
For why? in his most holy Name
we hope and much delight.
22 Therefore let thy goodnesse O Lord,
still present with us be:
As we alwaies with one accord.
do only trust in thee.
Scripture: Psalm 33
Exultate iusti
Our Father which in heaven art
Author: D. Coxe Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Our Father which in heaven art,
And mak'st us all one brother hood,
To call upon thee with one heart,
Our heavenly Father and our god.
Grant we pray not with lips alone,
But with our hearts deepe sigh and grone.
Thy blessed Name be sanctified,
Thy holy Word might us inflame,
In holy life for to abide,
To magnifie thy holy Name.
From all errors defend and keep
The little flock of thy poore sheep.
Thy kingdome come even at this houre
And henceforth everlastingly:
Thine holy Ghost into us powre,
With all his gifts most plenteously,
From Sathans rape and filthy band,
Defend us with thy mighty hand.
Thy will be done with diligence,
Like as in heaven, in earth also:
In trouble grant us patience,
Thee to obey in wealth and wo.
Let not flesh, bloud or any ill
Prevaile against thy holy will.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And all other good gifts of thine:
Keep us from war and from bloud-shed,
Also from sickness, dearth and pine,
That we may live in quietnesse,
Without all greedy carefullnesse.
Forgive us our offences all,
Relieve our carefull conscience:
As we forgive both great and small,
Which unto us have done offence.
Prepare us Lord for to serve thee
in perfect love and unity.
O Lord into temptation,
Lead us not when the fiend doth rage:
To withstand his invasion,
Give power and strength to every age.
Arme and make strong thy feeble host
With faith and with the Holy Ghost.
O Lord from evill deliver us,
The daies and times are dangerous:
From everlasting death save us,
And in our last need comfort us.
A blessed end to us bequeath,
Into thy hands our soules recieve
For thou, O Lord, are King of kings,
And thou hast power over all:
Thy glory shineth in all things,
In the wide world universall.
Amen, let it be done, O Lord,
That we have praid with one accord.

Domini est terra
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The earth is all the Lords, with all Lyrics: 1 The earth is all the Lord's, with all
her store and furniture:
Yea his is all the work, and all
that therein doth endure.
2 For he hath fastly founded it
above the seas to stand:
And laid alow the liquid floods,
to flow beneath the land.
3 For who is he, O Lord that shall
ascend into thy hill?
Or passe into thy holy place,
there to continue still?
4 Whose hands are harmlesse, and whose heart
no spot there doth defile:
His soule not set on vanity
who hath not sworne to guile.
5 Him that is such a one the Lord
shall place in blissfull plight:
And God his God and Saviour
shall yield to him his right:
6 This is the brood of travellers,
in seeking of his grace:
As Jacob did the Israelite,
in that time of his race.
7 Ye Princes ope your gates, stand ope
the everlasting gate:
For there shall enter in thereby
The king of glorious state.
8 Who is the King of glorious state?
the strong and mighty Lord;
The mighty Lord in battell stout,
and triall of the sword.
9 Ye Princes ope your gates, stand ope
the everlasting gate:
For there shall enter in thereby
The king of glorious state.
10 Who is the King of glorious state?
the Lord of hosts it is;
The kingdome and the royalty
of glorious state is his. Scripture: Psalm 24

The X. Commandments
Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Hark Israel and what I say Lyrics: Hark Israel and what I say,
give heed to understand:
I am the Lord thy God that brought
thee out of Egypt land,
Even from the house wherein thou didst
in thraldome live a slave:
None other God at all before
my presence shalt thou have.
No manner graven image shalt
thou make at all to thee:
Nor any figure like by thee
shall counterfeited be,
Of any thing in Heaven above,
nor in the earth below:
Nor in the waters beneath the earth,
to them thou shalt not bow.
Nor shalt them serve: the Lord thy God
a jealous Goad am I:
That punish parents faults, unto
the third and fourth degree,
Upon their children that me hate;
and mercy do display
To thousands of such as me love,
and my precepts obey.
The Name thou of the Lord thy God
in vaine shalt never use:
For him that takes his Name in vaine
the Lord will not excuse.
Remember that thou holy keep
the sacred Sabbath Day:
Six daies thou labour shalt and do
thy needfull works alway.
The seventh day the Lord thy God
hat set to rest upon:
No work then shalt hou do in it,
ne thou nor yet thy sonne,
Thy dauther, servant, nor thy maid,
thine oxe, nor yet thine asse:
Nor stranger that within thy gates
hath his abiding place.
For in six daies, God heaven and earth,
and all therein did make
And after those his rest he did
upon the seventh day take.
Wherefore he blest the day that he
for resting did ordaine:
And sacred to himselfe alone
appointed to remaine.
Yeeld honour to thy parents, that
prolong'd thy daies may be
Upon the land which the Lord
thy God hath given thee.
Thou shalt not murther. Thou shalt not
commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steale. Nor witnesse false
against thy neighbour be.
Thou shalt not covet house that to
thy neighbour doth belong:
Ne covet shalt in having of
his wife to do him wrong:
Nor his man-servnat nor his maid,
nor Oxe nor Asse of his:
Nor any other thing that to
thy neighbour proper is.

In Domino confido
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I trust in God, how dare ye then Lyrics: 1 I trust in God, how dare ye then
say thus my soule untill?
Flie hence as fast as any fowle,
and bide you in your hill.
2 Behold the wicked bend their bowes,
and make their arrowes prest,
To shoot in secret,and to hurt
the sound and harmlesse brest.
3 Of worldly hope all staies were shrunk,
and clearely brought to nought:
Alas the just and righteous men,
what evill hath he wrought?
4 But he that in his Temple is,
most holy and most high,
And in he heavens hath his seat
of royall majesty.
The poore and siple mans estate,
considereth in his mind:
And searcheth out full narrowly
the manners of mankind:
5 And with a chearfull countenance
the righteous man will use:
But in his heart he doth abhorre
all such as mischief muse.
6 And on the sinners casteth snares,
as thick as any raine:
Fire and brimstone, and whirle-winds thick,
appointed for their paine.
7 Ye see then how a righteous God
doth righteousensse embrace:
And to the just and upright men
shewes forth his pleasant face. Scripture: Psalm 11

sing to the Lord with chearfull voice,
Him serve with feare, his praise forth tell:
come ye before him and rejoyce.
2 The Lord ye know is God indeed,
without our aid he did us make:
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto:
Praise, laud, and bless his Name alwaies,
for it is seemly so to do.
4 For why the Lord our God is good,
his mercy is for ever sure:
His truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: [All people that on earth do dwell]
Jubilate Deo
Domine Deus noster
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O God our Lord how wonderful Lyrics: 1 O God our Lord how wonderfull
are thy works every where;
Whose fame surmounts in dignity,
above the heavens cleare!
2 Euen by the mouthes of sucking babes
thou wilt confound thy foes
For in those babes thy might is seen,
thy graces they disclose.
3 And when I see the heavens hight,
the works of thine owne hand:
The Son the Moon and all the starres,
in order as they stand,
4 What thing is man (Lord) think I then
that thou dost him remember?
Or what is mans posterity
that thou dost it consider?
5 For thou hast made him little lesse
than Angels in degree:
And thou hast crowned him also
with glory and dignity.
6 Thou hast prefer'd him to be Lord
of all thy works of wonder:
And at his feet hath set all things,
that he should keep them under.
7 As sheep, and neat and all beasts else
that in the fields do feed:
fowles of the ayre, fish in the sea,
and all that there in breed.
9 Therefore must I say once againe,
O God that art our Lord:
How famous and how wonderfull
are thy works through the world.

Judica me Domine
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord be my Judge and thou shalt see Lyrics: 1 Lord be my Judge, and thou shalt see,
my paths be right and plaine:
I trust in God, and hope that he
will strength me to remaine.
2 Prove me my God, I thee desire,
my waies to search and trie:
As men do prove their gold with fire,
my reines and heart espie.
3 Thy goodnesse laid before my face,
I durst behold alwaies:
For of thy truth i tread the trace,
and will do all my daie.
4 I do not lust to haunt or use,
with men whose deeds are vaine:
To come in house I do refuse,
with the deceitful traine.
5 I much abhorre the wicked sort,
their deeds I do despise:
I do not once to them resort,
that hurtfull things devise.
6 My hands I wash and do proceed,
in works to walk upright,
Then to thine altar I make speed,
to offer there in sight.
7 That I may speak and preach the praise
that doth belong to thee:
And so declare how wondrous waies
thou hast been good to me.
8 O God thy house I love most deare,
to me it doth excell:
I have delight, and would be neare
whereas thy grace doth dwell.
9 O shut not up my soule with them
in sin that take their fill:
Nor yet my life among those men
that seek much blood to spill.
10 Whose hands are heapt with craft and guile,
their lives thereof are full
And their right hand with wrench & wile
for bribes doth pluck and pull.
11 But I in righteousness intend
my time and daies to serve:
Have mercy Lord, and me defend,
so that I do not swerve.
12 My foot is staid for all assaies,
it standeth well and right:
Therefore to God will I give praise
in all the peoples sight. Scripture: Psalm 26
