Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #7 (1640) First Line: O God my strength and fortitude Lyrics: 1 O God my strength and fortitude,
of force I must love thee:
Thou art my Castle and defence,
in my necessity,
2 My God, my rocke in whom I trust,
the worker of my wealth:
my refuge, buckler, and my shield,
the horne of all my health.
3 When I sing laud unto the Lord,
most worthy to be serv'd:
Then from my foes I am right sure,
that I shall be preserv'd:
4 The pangs of death did compasse me,
and bound me every where;
The flowing waves of wickedness
did put me in great feare.
5 The slie and subtill snares of hell
were round about me set:
And for my life there was prepar'd
a deadly trapping net.
6 I thus beset with paine and griefe,
did pray to God for grace:
And he forthwith did heare my plaint
out of his holy place.
7 Such is his power, that in his wrath
he made the earth to quake:
Yea the foundation of the mount
of Basan for to shake.
8 And from his nostrils came a smoke,
when kindled was his ire:
And from his month went burning coles
of hot consuming fire.
9 The Lord descended from above,
and bowed the heavens high:
And underneath his feet he cast
the darkness of the skie.
10 On Cherubs and on Cherubims
full royally he rode:
And on the wings of all the winds
came flying all abroad.
The second Part:
11 And like a den most dark he made
his hid and secret place:
With waters black and airy clouds
environed he was.
12 But when the presence of his face
in brightnesse shall appeare:
Then clouds consume, and in their stead
come haile and coales of fire.
13 The fiery darts and thunder-bolts
disperse them here and there:
And with his often lightenings
he puts them in great feare.
14 Lord at thy wrath and threatenings,
and at thy chiding cheare
The springs and the foundations
of all the world appeare.
15 And from above the Lord sent down
to fetch me from below:
And pluck'd me out of waters great,
that would me overflow.
16 And me delivered from my foes
that would have made me thrall:
Yea, from such foes as were too strong
for me to deale withall.
17 They did prevent to oppresse
in time of my great griefe:
But yet the Lord is my defence,
my succour and relief.
18 He brought me forth in open place,
whereas I might be free:
And kept me safe, because he had
a favour unto me.
19 And as I was an innocent,
so did he me regard:
And to the cleannesse of my hands
he gave me my reward.
20 For that I walk-ed in his waies,
and in his paths have trod:
And have not sinned wickedly
against my Lord and God.
The third Part:
21 But evermore I have respect
to his law and decree:
His statutes and commandments
I cast not out from me.
22 But pure and clean, and uncorrupt,
appear'd before his face:
And did refraine from wickednesse,
and sin in any case.
23 The Lord therefore will me reward,
as I have done aright:
And to the cleannesse of my hands
appearing in his sight.
24 For Lord, with him that holy is,
wilt thou be holy too,
And with the good and virtuous men
right vertuously wilt do.
25 And for the loving and elect
thy favor wilt reserve:
And thou wilt use the wicked men
as wicked men deserve
26 For thou dost save the simple folk
in trouble when they lie:
And dost bring downe the countenance
of them that look full high.
27 The Lord will light my candle so,
that it shall shine full bright:
The Lord my God will make also
my darknesse to be light.
28 For by thy help an hoast of men
discomfit Lord I shall:
By thee I scale and over-leap
the strength of any wall.
29 Unspotted are the waies of God,
his word is purely tri'd;
He is a sure defense to such
as in his faith abide.
30 For who is God except the Lord,
for other there is none:
Or els who is omnipotent,
saving our God alone?
The fourth Part:
31 The God that girdeth me with strength,
is he that I do mean:
That all the waies wherein I walk,
did evermore keep clean.
32 That made my feet like to the Harts,
in swiftnesse of my pace:
And for my surety brought me forth
into an open place.
33 He did in order put my hands
to battel and to fight:
To break in sunder barsre of brasse,
he gave my arms the might.
34 Thou teachest me thy saving health,
thy right hand is my tower:
Thy love and familiarity
doth still increase my power.
35 And under me thou makest plaine
the way where I should walk:
So that my feet shall never slip,
nor stumble at a balk.
36 And fiercely I pursue and take
my foes that me annoid:
And from the field do not return
till they be all destroid.
37 So I suppresse and wound my foes,
that they can rise no more:
For at my feet they fall down flat,
I strike them all so sore.
38 For thou dost gird me with thy strength
to warre in such a wise:
That they be all scattered abrouad,
that up against me rise.
39 Lord thou hast put into mine hands
my mortall enemies yoke:
and all my foes thou dost divide
in sunder with thy stroke.
40 They call'd for help, but none gave eare,
nor help them with relief:
Yea to the Lord they call'd for help,
yet heard he not their griefe.
The fifth Part.
41 And still, like dust before the wind,
I drive them under feet:
And sweep them out like filthy clay,
that sticketh in the street.
42 Thou keep'st me from seditious folk
that still in strife are led:
And thou dost of the heathen folk
appoint me to be head.
43 A people strange to me unknowne,
and yet they shall me serve:
And at the first obey my word,
whereas my own will swerve.
44 I shall be irksome to my own,
they will not see my light:
But wander wide out of the way,
and hide them out of sight.
45 But blessed be the living Lord,
most worthy of all praise:
That is my rock and saving health,
praised be he alwaies.
46 For God it is that gave me power,
revenged for to be;
And with his holy word subdu'd
the people unto me.
47 And from my foe delivered me,
and set me above those
That cruell and ungodly were,
and up against me rose.
48 And for this cause O Lord my God,
to thee give thanks I shall;
And sing out praises to thy Name,
among the Gentiles all:
49 That gavest great prosperity
unto the King I say:
To David thine anointed King
and to his seed for aye. Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English Tune Title: [O God my strength and fortitude]
Diligam te Dom.
Coeli enarrant
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #9a (1640) First Line: The heavens and the firmament Lyrics: 1 The heavens and firmament on high
do wondrously declare
The glory of God omnipotent,
his works and what they are.
2 The wondrous works of God appeare
by every daies success?
The nights likewise which their race run
the self same thing express.
3 There is no language, tongue, or speech,
where their sound is not heard;
In all the earth and coasts thereof
their knowledge is confer'd.
4 In them the Lord made for the Sun
a place of great renown:
who like a bride-groome ready trim'd,
doth from his chamber come.
5 And as a valiant champion,
who for to get a prize,
With joy doth hast to take in hand,
some noble enterprise.
6 And all the skie from end to end
he compasseth about:
Nothing can hide if from his heat,
but he will find it out.
7 How perfect is the law of God,
how is his covenant sure:
Converting soules, and making wise
the simple and obscure.
8 Just are the Lords commandements,
and glad both heart and mind:
His precepts pure and do give light
to eyes that be full blind.
9 The feare of God is excellent
and doth endure for ever:
The judgements of the lord are true,
and righteous altogether.
10 And more to be embrac'd alway,
then fined gold I say:
The honey and the honey-combe
are not so sweet as they.
11 By them thy servant is fore-warn'd
to have God in regard;
And in performance of the same,
there shall be great reward.
12 But Lord what earthly man doth know
the errors of his life:
Then cleanse me from my secret sins,
which are in me most rife:
13 And keep me that presumptuous sins
prevaile not over me:
And so shall I be innocent,
and great offences flee.
14 Accept my mouth and eke my heart,
my words and thoughts each one:
For my Redeemer and my strength,
O Lord, thou art alone.
Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English
Coeli enarrant
Exaudiat te Dom.
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #9b (1640) First Line: In trouble and adversity Lyrics: 1 In trouble and adversity
the Lord God heare thee still:
The Majesty of Jacobs God
defend thee from all ill.
2 And send thee from his holy place
his help at every need:
And so in Sion stablish thee,
and make thee strong indeed.
3 Remembring well the sacrifice
that now in him is done:
And so receive right thankfully
thy burnt offrings each one.
4 According to thy heart's desire,
the Lord grant unto thee:
And all thy counsell and device,
full well performe may he.
5 We will rejoyce when thou us sav'st;
and our banners display
Unto the Lord, which thy requests,
fulfilled hath alway.
6 The Lord will his annointed save,
I know well by his grace:
And send him help by his right hand,
out of his holy place.
7 In chariots some put confidence,
and some in horses trust:
But we remember God our Lord,
that keepeth promise just.
8 They fall down flat but we do rise,
and stand up stedfastly:
Now save and help us Lord and King
on thee when we do cry.
Scripture: Psalm 20 Languages: English
Exaudiat te Dom.
Domine in virtute
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #9c (1640) First Line: O Lord how joyfull is the King Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how joyfull is the King,
in thy strength and thy power?
How vehemently doth he rejoyce
in thee his Saviour?
2 For thou hast given unto him
his godly hearts desire:
To him thou nothing hast deni'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 crowne 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 cheerfull countenance
wilt comfort him alway.
7 For why, the king doth strongly trust
in God for to prevaile
Therefore his goodnesse and his grace
will not that he shall qaile.
8 But let thine enemies feele thy forece,
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,
Thine 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 why, much mischief did they make
against thy holy Name:
Yet did they faile, and had no power
for to performe the same.
12 But as a mark thou shalt them set
in a most open place:
And charge thy bow-strings readily
against thine enemies face.
13 Be thou exalted Lord therefore
in thy strength every houre:
So shall we sing right solemnly,
praising thy might and power.
Scripture: Psalm 21 Languages: English
Domine in virtute
Deus, Deus meus
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #10 (1640) First Line: O God my God, wherefore dost thou 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 even all day long
I do both cry and call:
I cease not all the night, and yet
thou hearest not at ail.
3 Even thou that in thy Sanctuary,
and holy place dost dwell:
Thou art the comfort and the joy,
and glory of Israel.
4 And him in whom our fathers old
had all their hope for ever:
And when they put their trust in thee,
Thou didst them aye deliver.
5 They were delivered 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 a worm,
more like than any man:
An out-cast whom the people scorn
with all the spite they can.
7 All men despise as they behold
me walking on the way:
They grin, they mow, and nod their heads,
and on this wise they say,
8 This man did glory in the Lord,
his favour and his love:
Let him redeeme and help him now,
his power if he will prove.
9 But Lord out of my mothers wombe,
I came by thy behest:
Thou didst preserve me still in hope,
while I did suck the brest.
10 I was committed from my birth,
with thee to have abode:
Since I was in my mothers wombe,
thou hast been ere 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 reliefe.
12 So many buls do compasse me,
that be full strong of head:
Yea, buls so fat, as though they had
in Basan field been fed.
13 They gape upon me greedily,
as though they would me slay:
Much like a Lion roaring out,
and ramping for his prey.
14 But I drop downe like water shed,
my joynts in sunder break:
My heart doth in my body melt,
like waxe against the heat.
15 And like a potsherd dri'th my strength,
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws, and I am brought
to dust of death at last.
16 And many dogs do compasse me,
and wicked counsell eke
Conspire against me cursedly,
they pierce my hands and feet.
17 I was tormented so that I
might all my bones have told:
Yet still upon me hey do look,
and still they me behold.
18 My garments they divided eke
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 farre
from me at my great need,:
But rather sith thou art my strength,
to help me Lord make speed.
20 And from the sword Lord save my soul
by thy might and thy power:
And keep my soule, thy darling deare,
from dogs that would devoure.
21 And from the Lion's mouth that would
me all in sunder shiver:
And from the hornes of Unicornes
Lord safely me deliver.
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 feare him praise the Lord,
thou Jacob honour him:
And all ye seed of Israel,
with reverence worship him.
24 For he despiseth not the poore,
he turneth not away
His countenance when they do call,
but granteth to their crie.
25 Among the folk that feare the Lord,
I will therefore proclaime
Thy praise, and keep my promise made
for setting forth thy Name.
26 The poore shall eat and be suffic'd,
and those that do indeaver
To seek the Lord, shall praise his Name;
their hearts shall life for ever.
27 All coasts of th'earth shall praise the Lord
and turne to him for grace: grace;
The heathen folk shall worship him
before his blessed face.
28 The kingdome of the heathen folk
the Lord shall have therefore:
And he shall be their governour,
and King for evermore.
29 The rich men of his goodly gifts
shall feed and taste 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 tast:
My seed shall serve and praise the Lord,
while any world shall last.
31 My seed shall plainely shew to them
that shall be borne hereafter
His justice and his righteousnesse,
and all his works of wonder.
Scripture: Psalm 22 Languages: English
Deus, Deus meus
Dominus regit me
Author: W. W. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #11a (1640) First Line: The Lord is onely my support Lyrics: 1 The Lord is onely my support,
and he that doth me feed:
How can I then lack any thing,
whereof I stand in need?
2 He doth me fold in coats most safe,
the tender grasse fast by:
And after drives me to the streames
which run most pleasantly.
3 And when I feele my selfe neare lsot,
then doth he me home take:
Conducting me in his right paths,
even for his own name's sake.
4 And though I were even at death's doore
yet would I feare no ill:
For with thy rod and shepherd's crook,
I am comforted still.
5 Thou hast my table richly deck'd,
in despight of my foe:
Thou hast my head with balme refreshed
my cup doth overflow.
6 And finally, while breath doth last,
thy grace shall me defend:
And in the house of God will I
my life for ever spend. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English
Dominus regit me
Dominus regit me
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #11b (1640) First Line: My shepherd is the living Lord Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord,
nothing therefore I need:
In pastures faire with waters calme,
he lets me sit to feed.
2 He did convert and glad my soule,
and brought my mind in frame
To walk in paths of righteousnesse,
for his most holy Name.
3 Yea, though I walk in vale of death,
yet will I feare no ill:
Thy rod, thy staffe do comfort me,
and thou art with me still.
4 And in the presence of my foes
My table thou shalt spread:
Thou shalt (O Lord) fill full my cup,
and eke annoint my head.
5 Through all my life thy favour is
so frankly shew'd to me:
That in thy house for evermore
my dwelling place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English
Dominus regit me
Domini est terra
Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #11c (1640) 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 Languages: English
Domini est terra
Ad te Domine
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #11d (1640) First Line: I lift my heart to thee 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 rejoyce,
nor make a scorne of me:
And let them not be overthrown,
that put their trust in thee.
3 But shame shall them befall,
who harm them wrongfully:
Therefore thy paths and thy right waies
unto me Lord descry:
4 Direct me in thy truth,
and teach me, I thee pray:
Thou art my God and Saviour,
on thee I wait alway.
5 Thy mercies manifold,
I pray thee Lord remember:
And eke thy pitie plentifull,
for they have been for ever.
6 Remember not the faults
and frailty of my youth:
Remember not how ignorant
I have been of thy truth.
Nor after my deserts
let me thy mercy findL
But of thine own benignity
Lord have me in thy mind.
7 His mercy is full sweet,
his truth a perfect guide:
Therefore the Lord will sinners teach,
and such as go aside.
u The humble he will teach
his precepts for to keep:
He will direct in all his waies,
the lowly and the meek.
9 For all the waies of God
are truth and mercy both:
To them that keep his Testament,
the witnesse of his troth.
The second Part:
10 Now for thy holy Name
O Lord, I thee intreat
To grant me pardon for my sin,
for it is wondrous great.
11 Who so doth feare the Lord,
the lord will him direct:
To lead his life in such a way
as he doth best accept.
12 His soule shall evermore
in goodnesse dwell and stand:
His seed and his posterity
inherit shall the land.
13 All those that feare the Lord,
know his secret intent;
And unto them he doth declare
his Will and Testament.
14 Mine eyes and eke my heart
to him I will advanceL
That plucked my feet out of the snare
of sin and ignorance.
15 With mercy me behold,
to thee I make my mone:
For I am poore and desolate,
and comfortlesse alone.
16 The troubles of my heart
are multiplied indeed:
Bring me out of this misery,
necessity and need.
17 Behold my poverty,
mine anguish and my paine:
Remit my sin and mine offence,
and make me cleane againe.
18 O Lord behold my foes,
how they do still increase:
Pursuing me with deadly hate,
that faine would live in peace:
19 Preserve and keep my soule,
and eke deliver me;
And let me not be overthrowne,
because I trust in thee.
20 Let my simple purenesse
me from mine enemies thend,
Because I look as one of then,
that thou shouldst me defend.
21 Deliver Lord thy folk,
and send them some relief:
I meane thy chosen Israel,
from all their paine and grief. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: English
Ad te Domine
Judica me Domine
Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBPF1640 #12a (1640) 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 Languages: English
Judica me Domine
