With my whole heart I'll raise my song,
Thy wonders I'll proclaim;
Thou, sovereign Judge of right and wrong,
Wilt put my foes to shame.
I'll sing thy majesty and grace;
My God prepares his throne
To judge the world in righteousness,
And make his vengeance known.
Then shall the Lord a refuge prove
For all the poor oppressed;
To save the people of his love,
And give the weary rest.
The men that know thy name will trust
In thy abundant grace;
For thou hast ne'er forsook the just,
Who humbly seek thy face.
Sing praises to the righteous Lord,
Who dwells on Zion's hill,
Who executes his threatening word,
And doth his grace fulfil.

Psalm 9: Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 First Line: Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart Lyrics:
1Lord, thee I’ll praise with all my heart,
thy wonders all proclaim.
2In thee, most High, I’ll greatly joy,
and sing unto thy name.
3When back my foes were turn’d, they fell,
and perish’d at thy sight:
4For thou maintain’dst my right and cause;
on throne sat’st judging right.
5The heathen thou rebuked hast,
the wicked overthrown;
Thou hast put out their names, that they
may never more be known.
6O en’my! now destructions have
an end perpetual:
Thou cities raz’d; perish’d with them
is their memorial.
7God shall endure for aye; he doth
for judgment set his throne;
8In righteousness to judge the world,
justice to give each one.
9God also will a refuge be
for those that are oppress’d;
A refuge will he be in times
of trouble to distress’d.
10And they that know thy name, in thee
their confidence will place:
For thou hast not forsaken them
that truly seek thy face.
11O sing ye praises to the Lord,
that dwells in Sion hill;
And all the nations among
his deeds record ye still.
12When he enquireth after blood,
he then rememb’reth them:
The humble folk he not forgets
that call upon his name.
13Lord, pity me; behold the grief
which I from foes sustain;
Ev’n thou, who from the gates of death
dost raise me up again;
14That I, in Sion’s daughters’ gates,
may all thy praise advance;
And that I may rejoice always
in thy deliverance.
15The heathen are sunk in the pit
which they themselves prepar’d;
And in the net which they have hid
their own feet fast are snar’d.
16The Lord is by the judgment known
which he himself hath wrought:
The sinners’ hands do make the snares
wherewith themselves are caught.
17They who are wicked into hell
each one shall turned be;
And all the nations that forget
to seek the Lord most high.
18For they that needy are shall not
forgotten be alway;
The expectation of the poor
shall not be lost for aye.
19Arise, Lord, let not man prevail;
judge heathen in thy sight:
20That they may know themselves but men,
the nations, Lord, affright.

Wholehearted Thanksgiving to You I Will Bring
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to you I will bring;
in praise of your marvelous works I will sing.
For joy I will shout and exultingly cry
in praise of your name, LORD my God, O Most High.
2 My foes were turned backward in utter despair;
they stumbled and perished because you were there.
For you have defended my right and my cause;
you sat in just judgment, upholding your laws.
3 You chided the nations, the wicked destroyed;
their names you erased and forever made void.
The foe is consumed and completely disgraced,
their cities uprooted, their memory erased.
4 The LORD will eternally sit on his throne,
establishing it for his judgment alone.
He righteously judges the world with his might;
all peoples will know that his judgment is right.
5 The LORD is a stronghold, a bulwark, a tower,
for all the oppressed in their dark troubled hour.
Those knowing your name, LORD, trust you for your grace;
you have not forsaken those seeking your face.
6 Sing praise to the LORD, who in Zion does dwell;
among all the peoples his mighty deeds tell.
The cry of the poor never fades from his ear;
their blood he avenges; he always will hear.
7 LORD, see what I suffer from malice and hate.
Have mercy! O lift me away from death's gate,
that I with the Daughter of Zion may voice
your praises, and in your salvation rejoice.
8 The nations are sunk in the pit they prepared;
their feet in the net which they hid are ensnared.
The LORD by his judgment has made himself known,
and by their own works are the wicked o'erthrown.
9 The wicked shall perish in death's dark abode,
with all of the lands who are heedless of God.
No longer forget the just cause of the weak,
nor banish forever the hope of the meek.
10 Arise, LORD, let sinners not think themselves strong;
let peoples be judged in your presence for wrong.
Strike terror within them, O LORD; make them see
that nations, though pompous, must still bend the knee.

Wholehearted Thanksgiving to You I Will Bring
To celebrate thy Praise, O Lord
Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 To celebrate thy Praise, O Lord,
I will my Heart prepare;
To all the list'ning World thy Works,
thy wond'rous Works, declare.
2 The Thought of them shall to my Soul
exalted Pleasure bring;
Whilst to thy Name, O thou most High,
triumphant Praise I sing.
3 Thou mad'st my haughty Foes to turn
their Backs in shameful Flight:
Struck with thy Presence, down they fell;
they perish'd at thy Sight.
4 Against insulting Foes advanc'd,
thou didst my Cause maintain;
My Right asserting from thy Throne,
where Truth and Justice reign.
5 The Insolence of Heathen pride
thou hast reduc'd to Shame;
Their wicked offspring quite destroy'd,
and blotted out their Name.
6 Mistaken Foes, your haughty Threats
are to a period come:
Our City stands, which you design'd
to make our common Tomb.
7, 8 The Lord for ever lives, who has
his righteous Throne prepar'd;
Impartial Justice to dispense,
to punish or reward.
9 God is a constant sure Defence
against oppressing Rage;
As Troubles rise, his needful Aids
in our Behalf engage.
10 All those who have his Goodness prov'd,
will in his Truth confide;
Whose Mercy ne'er forsook the Man
that on his Help rely'd.
11 Sing Praises therefore to the Lord,
from Sion his Abode;
Proclaim his Deeds, till all the world
confess no other God.
Part II
12 When he Inquiry makes for Blood,
he calls the poor to Mind;
The injur'd humble Man's Complaint,
redress from him shall find.
13 Take Pity on my Troubles, Lord,
which spiteful Foes create,
Thou that hast rescu'd me so oft
from Death's devouring Gate.
14 In Sion then I'll sing thy Praise,
to all that love thy Name;
And with loud Shouts of grateful Joy
thy saving Pow'r proclaim.
15 Deep in the Pit they digg'd for me
the Heathen Pride is laid;
Their guilty Feet to their own Snare
insensibly betray'd.
16 Thus, by the just Returns he makes,
the mighty Lord is known;
While wicked Men by their own Plots
are shamefully o'erthrown.
17 No single Sinner shall escape
by Privacy obscur'd;
Nor Nation, from his just Revenge,
by Numbers be secru'd.
18 His suff'ring Saints, when most distress'd,
he ne'er forgets to aid;
Their Expectations shall be crown'd,
tho' for a time delay'd.
19 Arise, O Lord, assert thy Pow'r,
and let not man o'ercome;
Descend to Judgment, and pronounce
the guilty Heathens Doom.
20 Strike Terror thro' the Nations round,
till, by consenting Fear,
They to each other, and themselves,
but mortal Men appear.

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 To celebrate thy Name, O LORD!
My Heart and Voice, in one Accord
With grateful Joy, I will declare
To Men thy Works, which wond'rous are.
2 Thy Thought of them to me shall bring
Exalted Pleasure whilst I sing:
My thankful Soul shall strive to raise,
To thee, my GOD, triumphant Praise.
3 When those who did against me rise,
Have fled with Shame, struck with Surprize,
Terror shall seize them in their Flight;
They fall and perish at thy Sight.
4 Against my Life they strove in vain;
For thou didst still my Cause maintain;
My Right asserting from thy Throne,
Where Justice reigns, and Truth is known.
5 The Insolence of heathen Pride,
O GOD of Truth, thou wilt deride;
Their Offspring shall be low debas'd,
Their Names with Infamy disgrac'd.
Part II:
6 Mistaken Foes, your ill Design,
Quite vanquish'd, now you must resign;
Our City yet remains secure,
Altho' you thought its Ruin sure.
7 For GOD, the LORD, entrhon'd on high,
Is with impartial Justice nigh:
His Judgment-Seat he hath prepar'd;
As well to punish as reward.
8 There shall he sit in Righteousness,
And ev'ry secret Wrong redress:
His Anger will his Foes destroy,
His Saints shall still his Smiles enjoy.
9 GOD is a constant sure Defence
Against oppressing Insolence;
And when our Foes exert their Rage,
He will in our Behalf engage.
10 All those who have his Goodness known,
Will look for Help to GOD alone;
His Mercy never will neglect
Those who his holy Name respect.
Part III:
11 Oh join your Hearts in one Accord,
From Sion's Hill bless ye the LORD:
His Deeds throughout the World proclaim,
'Till all revere his holy Name.
12 When he Inquiry makes for Guilt!
The Blood of Saints by Sinners spilt;
He calls to Mind the Poor distress'd,
And all their Wrongs are soon redress'd.
13 Then pity, LORD, my troubled State,
Dispel the Grief my Foes create;
Thou who dost oft my Pray'r attend,
And in Distress Assistance lend.
14 That I in Zion may proclaim
Thy Praise to all who love thy Name,
And in loud Shouts of grateful Joy,
My Heart and Tongue, and Voice employ.
15 Deep in the Pit design'd for me
The Heathen Pride shall humbled be;
Their Feet insensibly ensnar'd,
where they my Ruin had prepar'd.
16 Thus, by his Judgments, GOD is known;
All Nations must his Justice own;
The Wicked he will low debase,
And by their own Designs disgrace.
17 In Hell the Sinner shall be cast,
Mid Torments which must ever last:
None are by Privacy obscur'd;
None shall by Numbers be secur'd.
18 His suff'ring Saints, when most distress'd,
Are by his timely Aid redress'd;
Tho' for a While in Sorrows drown'd,
Their Hope shall with Success be crown'd,
19 Arise, O LORD! to Judgment come,
Pronounce the guilty Heathen's Doom;
Let not thy Foes thy Saints devour;
But crush them by Almighty Pow'r.
20 Strike Terror through the Nations round;
The heathen Pride, O LORD! confound;
And let them by consenting Fear,
No more than mortal Men appear. Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked; Thanksgivings For Victories Used With Tune: [To celebrate thy name, O Lord]

2 I will be glad and joy in thee,
Most high I'll sing thy Name.
3 In turning back, my foes they'll fall,
And perish at thy sight.
4 For thou maintain'st my right and cause,
In throne sitt'st judging right.
5 Thou hast the heathen folk rebuk'd
And wicked ones destroy'd;
For ever and for evermore
Thou hast their name made void.
6 Destructions (O thou foe) are come,
To end perpetual:
Thou hast 'stroy'd cities, they are gone,
With their memorial.
7 Nevertheless Jehovah shall
For evermore endure;
And unto judgement he his throne
Prepared hath most sure.
8 And he the habitable world
Shall judge in righteousness;
Unto the people judgment give
He shall in uprightness.
9 A refuge for oppressed ones
Jehovah shall become;
A refuge high he is to them
In seasons troublesome.
10 They also that do know thy name,
In thee will put their trust:
For them that do thee seek O Lord,
Forsake thou never dost.

11 O sing ye praises to the Lord,
That doth in Sion dwell:
The deeds also that he hath done
Among the people tell.
He to remembrance doth them call,
When he for blood doth seek;

13 Jehovah mercy on me have
From them tat do me hate;
Mark mine afflictions that arise,
Thou lift'st me from death's gate.
14 That I on Sion's daughters gates
Thy praises all my show:
And that in thy salvation
I may rejoyce also.
15 The heathen are sung down into
The pit that they had made:
Their foot is taken in the net
Which privily they laid.
16 By judgment which he executes,
Jehovah is made known:
The wicked's snar'd in's handy work,
Deep meditation.
17 The wicked shall be turned down
Into the burning pit;
All nations that the mighty God
Continue to forget.
18 Because the needy ones shall not
Forgotten be alway?
The expectation of the poor
For aye shall not decay:
19 O let not wretched man prevail,
But O Jehovah rise;
The heathen people in thy sight
Let judged be likewise.
20 Jehovah do thou put in fear
Ev'n ev'ry one of them:
That so the nations they may know
That they be sorry men. Selah.

still strong in memory stand
to give us hope when evil seems
to gain the upper hand.
Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love,
for wonders new and old:
for fire and cloud, for daily food,
for mercies yet untold.
2 Though monuments of evil rise
in marble, gilt, and stone,
time’s search will find their boasts untrue,
their makers’ names unknown.
Mute avenues of ruins will mark
where once proud cities stood,
but from destruction God will save
the faithful, just, and good.
3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power
usurped by mortal pride,
deflate the hollow pomp of those
whom rank and titles hide.
Let not the needy cry unheard,
the suffering hope in vain;
restore the fallen, bless the meek,
till peace and justice reign.

Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.

Thou hast their fame with them defaced,
through ll the world so wide.
7 Know thou that he which is above
for evermoere shall raigne,
And in the seat of equity
true judgement will maintaine.
8 With justice he will keep and guide
the world and every wight:
And so will yeeld with equity
to every man his right.
9 He is protector of the poore,
what time they be opprest:
He is in all adversity
their refuge and their rest.
10 All they that know thy holy Name
therefore shall trust in thee:
For thou forsakest not their suit
in their necessity.
The second Part:
11 Sing Psalmes therfore unto the Lord,
that dwels in Sion hill:
Puglish among all nations,
his noble acts and will.
12 For he is mindfull of the blood
of those that be opprest:
forgetting not th'afflicted heart
that seeks to him for rest.
13 Have mercy Lord on me pore wretch
whose enemies still remaine:
Which from the gates of death art wont,
to raise me up againe.
14 In Sion that I might set forth
thy praise with heart and voice:
And that in thy salvation Lord,
my soule might still rejoyce.
15 The heathen stick fast in the pit
that they themselves prepar'd:
And in the net that they did set,
their own feet fast are snar'd.
16 God shews his judgements which were good
for every man to mark:
When as ye see the wicked man
lie trap'd in his own wark.
17 The wicked and deceitfull men
go down to hell for ever:
And all the people of the world
that will not God remember.
18 But sure the Lord will not forget
the poore mans griefe and paine
The patient people never look
for help of God in vaine.
19 O Lord arise lest men prevaile
that be of worldly might:
And let the heathen folk receive
their judgment in thy sight.
20 Lord strike such terror feare and dread
into the hearts of them:
That they may know assuredly,
they be but mortall men.

I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748); John Wesley (1703-1791) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne’er be past
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God; who made the sky
and earth and seas, with all their train;
whose truth for ever stands secure,
who saves the oppressed, who feeds the poor,
whose promise none shall trust in vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
and sends the labouring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I’ll praise God while I'm granted breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures. Topics: Justice; Praise of God; Psalm 146 Used With Tune: NASHVILLE

Lord, at thy temple we appear
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9:1-11 Lyrics:
Lord, at thy temple we appear,
As happy Simeon came,
And hope to meet our Savior here;
O make our joys the same!
With what divine and vast delight
The good old man was filled,
When fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the holy child!
"Now I can leave this world," he cried,
"Behold, thy servant dies;
I've seen thy great salvation, Lord,
And close my peaceful eyes.
"This is the light prepared to shine
Upon the Gentile lands,
Thine Isr'el's glory, and their hope
To break their slavish bands."
[Jesus! the vision of thy face
Hath overpowering charms;
Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace,
If Christ be in my arms.
Then while ye hear my heart-strings breuk,
How sweet my minutes roll!
A mortal paleness on my cheek,
And glory in my soul.]

By whom 'twas form'd, and is possess'd.

The God of Abr'am, God of Peace;
Now by a dearer Title known,
Father and God of Christ his son.
4 Thro' ev'ry Age his gracious Ear
Is open to his Servants Prayer;
Nor can one humble Soul complain,
That he hath fought his God in vain.
5 What unbelieving Heart shall dare
In Whispers to suggest a Fear,
While still he owns his antient Name?
The same his Pow'r, his Love the same!
6 To Thee our Souls in Faith arise,
To Thee we lift expecting Eyes;
And boldly thro' the Desart tread:
For God will guard, where God shall lead.

prepare in the desert a highway,

The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the Lord our God may go!
2 O Zion, give voice to good tidings,
ascend to the heights and sing!

shall pass like a dream away.
3 But your word, O God, is faithful,
your arm, O Lord, is strong;
you stand in the midst of nations,
and you will right the wrong.
You will feed your flock like a shepherd,
and fold the lambs to your breast;
in pastures of peace you’ll lead them,
and give to the weary rest.
