Proverbs 8:22-36: Keep silence, all ye sons of men

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R13 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Keep silence, all ye sons of men Lyrics: Keep silence, all ye sons of men, and hear with rev’rence due; Eternal Wisdom from above thus lifts her voice to you: I was th’ Almighty’s chief delight from everlasting days, Ere yet his arm was stretched forth the heav’ns and earth to raise. Before the sea began to flow, and leave the solid land, Before the hills and mountains rose, I dwelt at his right hand. When first he reared the arch of heav’n, and spread the clouds on air, When first the fountains of the deep he opened, I was there. 128 There I was with him, when he stretched his compass o’er the deep, And charged the ocean’s swelling waves within their bounds to keep. With joy I saw th’ abode prepared which men were soon to fill: Them from the first of days I loved, unchanged, I love them still. Now therefore hearken to my words, ye children, and be wise: Happy the man that keeps my ways; the man that shuns them dies. Where dubious paths perplex the mind, direction I afford; Life shall be his that follows me and favour from the Lord. But he who scorns my sacred laws shall deeply wound his heart, He courts destruction who contemns the counsel I impart. Scripture: Proverbs 8:22-36 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R13 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Keep silence, all ye sons of men, and hear with rev’rence due; eternal Wisdom from above thus lifts her voice to you: 2 I was th’ Almighty’s chief delight from everlasting days, ere yet his arm was stretched forth the heav’ns and earth to raise. 3 Before the sea began to flow, and leave the solid land, before the hills and mountains rose, I dwelt at his right hand. 4 When first he reared the arch of heav’n, and spread the clouds on air, when first the fountains of the deep he open'd, I was there. 5 There I was with him, when he stretch'd his compass o’er the deep, and charg'd the ocean’s swelling waves within their bounds to keep. 6 With joy I saw th’ abode prepar'd which men were soon to fill: them from the first of days I lov'd, unchang'd, I love them still. 7 Now therefore hearken to my words, ye children, and be wise: happy the man that keeps my ways; the man that shuns them dies. 8 Where dubious paths perplex the mind, direction I afford; life shall be his that follows me and favour from the Lord. 9 But he who scorns my sacred laws shall deeply wound his heart, he courts destruction who contemns the counsel I impart.
