O Lord, how joyful is the king

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXI (1790) Scripture: Psalm 21 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how joyful is the king in thy strength and thy power, Exceedingly he doth rejoice in thee his Saviour. 2 For thou hast given unto him his godly heart's desire; To him thou nothing hast deny'd of that he did require. 3 Thou didst prevent him with thy gifts and blessings manifold, And thou hast set upon his head a crown of perfect gold. 4 And when he asked life of thee, thereof thou mad'st him sure To have long life, yea, such a life as ever shall endure. 5 Great is his glory by thy help, thy benefit and aid; Great worship and great honour both thou hast upon him laid. 6 Thou wilt give him felicity, that never shall decay, And with thy cheerful countenance wilt comfort him alway. 7 Because the king doth strongly trust in God for to prevail. Therefore his goodness and his grace to save him will not fail. 8 Thy enemies shall feel thy force, and those that thee withstand; Find out thy foes, and let them feel the power of thy right hand. 9 And like an oven burn them, Lord, in fiery flame and fume; Thy anger shall destroy them all, and fire shall them consume. 10 And thou shalt root out of the earth their fruit that should increase, And from the number of thy folk their seed shall end and cease. 11 For they much mischief did contrive against thy holy name; Yet did they fail, and had no power for to perform the same: 12 But as a mark thou shalt them set in a most open place, And charge thy bow-strings readily against their very face. 13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thy own strength, which is our tower; So shall we sing right solemnly, praising thy might and power.

O God my God, wherefore dost thou

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 O God, my God, wherefore dost thou forsake me utterly? And helpest not, when I do make my great complaint and cry? 2 To thee, my God, e'en all day long, I do both cry and call; I cease not all the night, and yet thou hearest not at ail. 3 But thou that in thy holy place for evermore dost dwell, Thou art the joy, the comfort, and glory of Israel; 4 And him in whom our fathers old had all their hope and stay, Who, when they put their trust in thee, deliver'dst them alway. 5 They were preserved ever when they called on thy name; And for the faith they had in thee, they were not put to shame. 6 But I am now become more like a worm than to a man, An outcast, whom the people scorn with all the spite they can. 7 All men despise as they behold me walking on the way, They grin, make mouths, and nod their heads, and on this wise do say, 8 This man did glory in the Lord, his favour and his love: Let him redeem and help him now, his power if he will prove. 9 But from the prison of the womb I was by thee releast, Thou didst preserve me still in hope, whilst I did suck the breast. 10 I was committed from my birth with thee to have abode; Since I came from my mother's womb, thou hast been still my God. The Second Part. 11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me, in this my present grief, Since I have none to be my help, my succour and relief. 12 For many bulls do compass me that be full strong of head; Yea, bulls so fat, as tho' they had in Basan field been fed. 13 They gape upon me greedily, as tho' they would me slay, Ev'n like a lion roaring out and ramping for his prey. 14 But I drop down like water shed, my joints in sunder break, My heart doth in my body melt like wax, I am so weak: 15 My strength doth like a potsherd dry, my tongue it cleaveth fast Unto my jaws, and I am brought to dust of death at last. 16 For many dogs do compass me, in council they do meet, Conspiring still against my life, piercing my hands and feet. 17 I was tormented so, that I might all my bones have told, Whilst they do look and stare at me, when they do me behold. 18 My garments they divided have in parts among them all, And for my coat they did cast lots to whom it should befall. 19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not far from me at my great need; But rather, since thou art my strength, to help me, Lord, make speed: 20 And from the sword save thou my soul by thy might and thy pow'r, And ever keep my darling dear from dogs that would devour; 21 And from the lion's mouth that would me all in sunder tear, From 'midst the horns of unicorns, O Lord, thou didst me hear 22 Then shall I to my brethren all thy majesty record, And in thy church shall praise the Name of thee the living Lord. The Third Part. 23 All ye that fear him, praise the Lord, thou, Jacob, him adore, And all ye seed of Israel, fear him for evermore. 24 For he despiseth not the poor, he hideth not away His countenance when they do call, but hears them when they pray, 25 Among the folk that fear the Lord I will therefore proclaim Thy praise, and keep my promise made for setting forth thy name. 26 The poor shall eat and be suffic'd; such as their minds do give To seek the Lord, and praise his Name, their hearts shall ever live. 27 The coasts of all the earth shall praise the Lord and seek his grace, The heathen folk shall worship all before his blessed face. 28 The kingdoms of the heathen folk the Lord shall have therefore; And he shall be their Governor and King for evermore. 29 The rich men of his goodly gifts shall taste and feed also, And in his presence worship him, and bow their knees full low. 30 And all that shall go down to dust of life by him shall taste; A seed shall serve and worship him, till time away shall waste: 31 They shall declare and plainly shew his truth and righteousness Unto a people yet unborn, who shall his name confess.

The Lord is only my support

Author: W. W. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXIIIa (1790) Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is only my support, and he that doth me feed; How can I then lack any thing, whereof I stand in need? 2 In pastures green he feedeth me, where I do safely lie, And after leads me to the streams which run most pleasantly. 3 And when I find myself near lost, then doth he me home take, Conducting me in his right paths, ev'n for his own name's sake. 4 And tho' I were ev'n at death's door, yet would I fear no ill; For both thy rod and shepherd's crook afford me comfort still. 5 Thou hast my table richly spread in presence of my foe, Thou hast my head with balm refresh'd, my cup doth overflow; 6 And finally, whilst breath doth last, thy grace shall me defend; And in the house of God will I my life for ever spend.

My Shepherd is the living Lord

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXIIIb (1790) Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord, nothing therefore I need: In pastures fair, near pleasant streams, he setteth me to feed. 2 He shall convert and glad my soul, and bring my mind in frame, To walk in paths of righteousness, for his most holy name. 3 Yea, though I walk in vale of death, yet will I fear no ill; Thy rod and staff do comfort me, and thou art with me still: 4 And in the presence of my foes my table thou dost spread; Thou wilt fill full my cup, and thou anointed hast my head. 5 Thro' all my life thy favour is so frankly shew'd to me, That in thy house for evermore my dwelling place shall be.

The earth is all the Lord's, with all

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXIV (1790) Scripture: Psalm 24 Lyrics: 1 The earth is all the Lord's, with all her store and furniture; Yea, his is all the world, and all that therein doth endure: 2 For he hath fastly founded it above the seas to stand, And plac'd below the liquid floods to flow beneath the land. 3 Who is the man, O Lord, that shall ascend unto thy hill? Or pass into thy holy place, there to continue still? 4 Ev'n he whose hands and heart are pure, which nothing doth defile, His soul not set on vanity, and hath not sworn to guile: 5 Him that is such a one the Lord most highly will regard, And from his God and Saviour shall receive a just reward. 6 This is the generation of them that do seek his grace, Ev'n them that with an upright heart, O Jacob, seek thy face. 7 Ye gates and everlasting doors, lift up your heads on high; Then shall the King of glorious state come in triumphantly. 8 Who is the King of glorious state? The great and mighty Lord, The mighty Lord in battle strong, and trial of the sword. 9 Ye gates and everlasting doors, lift up your heads on high; then shall the King of glorious state come in triumphantly. 10 Who is the King of glorious state? The Lord of hosts it is, The kingdom and the royalty of glorious state is his. Languages: English

I Lift my heart to thee

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXV (1790) Scripture: Psalm 25 Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to thee, my God and guide most just; Now suffer me to take no shame, for in thee do I trust. 2 Let not my foes rejoice, nor make a scorn of me; And let them not be overthrown that put their trust in thee. 3 But shame shall them befal, who harm them wrongfully: Therefore thy paths, and thy right ways, unto me, Lord, descry. 4 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me, I thee pray; Thou art my Saviour and my God, on thee I wait alway. 5 Thy mercies manifold remember, Lord, I pray; In pity thou art plentiful, and so hast been alway. 6 Remember not the faults and frailty of my youth, Call not to mind how ignorant I have been of thy truth: 7 Nor after my deserts let me thy mercy find; But of thine own benignity, Lord, have me in thy mind. 8 His mercy is full sweet, his truth a perfect guide; Therefore the Lord will sinners teach, and such as go aside. 9 The humble he will teach his precepts to obey, He will direct in all his paths the lowly man alway. 10 For all the ways of God both truth and mercy are, To them that do his covenant and statutes keep with care. The Second Part. 11 Now for thy holy name, O Lord, I thee intreat To grant me pardon for my sin, for it is very great. 12 Whoso doth fear the Lord, by him he shall be kept To lead his life in such a way as he doth best accept: 13 His soul shall evermore in goodness dwell and stand; His seed and his posterity inherit shall the land. 14 All those that fear the Lord know his secret intent, And unto them he doth declare his will and testament. 15 My eyes and thankful heart to him I will advance, That pluck'd my feet out of the snare Of sin and ignorance. 16 With mercy me behold, to thee I make my moan; For I am poor and desolate, and comfortless alone. 17 The troubles of my heart are multiply'd indeed; Bring me out of this misery, necessity and need. 18 Behold my poverty, my anguish and my pain; Remit my sin and my offence, and make me clean again. 19 O Lord, behold my foes, how they do still increase, Pursuing me with deadly hate, that fain would live in peace: 20 Preserve and keep my soul, and still deliver me; And let me not be overthrown, because I trust in thee. 21 Let truth and uprightness for ever wait on me, Because my hope and confidence have always been in thee. 22 Deliver, Lord, thy folk, and send them some relief, I mean thy chosen Israel, from all their pain and grief.

Lord, be my Judge and thou shalt see

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXVI (1790) Scripture: Psalm 26 Lyrics: 1 Lord, be my Judge, and thou shalt see my paths be right and plain: I trust in God, and hope that he with strength will me sustain. 2 Prove me, my God, I thee desire, my ways to search and try; As men do prove their gold with fire, my heart and reins espy. 3 Thy loving-kindness in my sight I do behold always; I ever walked in thy truth, and will do all my days. 4 I do not love to haunt or use with men whose deeds are vain; To come in house I do refuse with the deceitful train. 5 I much abhor the wicked sort, their deeds I do despise; I do not once to them resort that hurtful things devise. 6 My hands I wash, and do proceed in works to walk upright; Then to thy 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 ways thou hast been good to me. 8 O God, thy house I love most dear, to me it doth excel; My chief delight is to be near the place where thou dost dwell. 9 O shut not up my soul with them in sin that take their fill, Nor yet my life among those men that seek much blood to spill. 10 For in their hands much mischief is, their lives therewith abound, And nothing else in their right hand, but bribes are to be found. 11 But I resolve in righteousness my time and days to spend: Therefore that I may not transgress, let thy grace me defend. 12 My foot is stay'd for all assays, it standeth well and right: Wherefore to God will I give praise in all the people's sight.

The Lord is both my health and light

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXVII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 The Lord is both my health and light, shall man make me dismay'd? Since God doth give me strength and might, why should I be afraid? 2 While that my foes with all their strength began with me to brawl, Thinking to eat me up, at length themselves have caught the fall. 3 Tho' they encamp'd against me lie, my heart is not afraid; And if in battle 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 foil and clean deface, that compass me about. 8 Therefore within his house will I give sacrifice of praise; With psalms and songs I will apply to laud the Lord always. The Second Part. 9 Lord, hear the voice of my request, for which to thee I cry; Have mercy, Lord, on me opprest, and help me speedily. 10 My heart confesseth unto thee, I sue to have thy grace; Then seek my face, saidst thou to me; Lord, I will seek thy face. 11 In wrath turn not thy face away, nor suffer me to slide; My help thou hast been to this day, be still my God and guide. 12 When both my parents me forsake, and cast me off at large, Ev'n then the Lord himself doth take of me the care and charge. 13 Teach me, O Lord, the way to thee, and lead me on forth-right, For fear of such as watch for me, to trap me if they might. 14 O leave me not unto the will of them that be my foes; For they devise against me still false witness to depose. 15 I utterly should faint, but that this hope supporteth me, That in the land wherein I live God's goodness I shall see. 16 Trust still in God, whose whole thou art, his will abide thou must; He will support and ease thy heart, if thou in him do trust.

Thou art, O Lord, my strength and stay

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXVIII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 28 Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O Lord, my strength and stay, the succor which I crave; Neglect me not, lest I be like them that are laid in grave. 2 My voice and supplications hear, when unto thee I cry, When I lift up my hands unto thy holy ark most high. 3 Repute me not among those men in sin that take their fill, That speak right fair unto their friends, but think in heart full ill. 4 According to those wicked deeds which they did most regard, And after their inventions, Lord, let them receive reward. 5 Because they never mind the works of God, he will therefore, Instead of building of them up, destroy them evermore. 6 To render thanks unto the Lord, how great a cause have I, My voice, my prayer and my complaint that heard so willingly! 7 He is my shield and fortitude, my buckler in distress; My heart rejoiceth greatly, and my song shall him confess. 8 He is our strength and our defence, our foes for to resist, The health and the salvation of his own elect by Christ. 9 Thy people and thy heritage, Lord, bless, guide, and preserve; Increase them, Lord, and rule their hearts, that they may never swerve.

Give to the Lord, ye potentates

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #XXIX (1790) Scripture: Psalm 29 Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord, ye potentates, give ye with one accord All praise and honour, might and strength, Unto the living Lord: 2 Give glory to his holy Name, And honour him alone; Give worship to his Majesty, within his holy throne. 3 His voice doth rule the waters all, as he himself doth please; He doth prepare the thunder-claps, and governs all the seas. 4 The voice of God is of great force, and wond'rous excellent; It is most mighty in effect, and most magnificent. 5 The voice of God doth rend and break the cedar-trees so long, The cedar-trees of Lebannon, which are both high and strong; 6 And makes them leap like as a calf, or as the unicorn; Not only trees but mountains great, wheron the trees are born. 7 His voice divides the flames of fire, and shakes the wilderness: It makes the desart quake for fear, that Cades called is; 8 It makes the hinds for fear to calve, and coverts plain appear; And in his temple every man speaks of his glory there. 9 The lord doth sit upon the floods, their fury to restrain: And he likewise as Lord and King for evermore shall reign. 10 The Lord will give his people strength, whereby they shall increase, And he will bless his chosen flock with everlasting peace.
