The man is blest that hath not lent

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #I (1790) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is blest that hath not lent to wicked men his ear, Nor led his life as sinners do, nor sat in scorner's chair. 2 But in the law of God the Lord doth set his whole delight, And in the same doth exercise himself both day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree that is planted the rivers nigh, Which in due season bringeth forth its fruit abundantly; 4 Whose leaf shall never fade nor fall, but flourishing shall stand: Ev'n so all things shall prosper well that this man takes in hand. 5 As for ungodly men, with them it shall be nothing so; But as the chaff, which by the wind is driven to and fro. 6 Therefore the wicked men shall not in judgment stand upright, Nor in th' assembly of the just shall sinners come in sight. 7 For why? The way of godly men unto the Lord is known; Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown. Languages: English

Why did the Gentiles tumults raise?

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #II (1790) Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 Why did the Gentiles tumults raise? What rage was in their brain? Why do the people still contrive a thing that is but vain? 2 The kings and rulers of the earth conspire and are all bent Against the Lord, and Christ his Son, whom he among us sent. 3 Shall we be bound to them? say they, let all their bonds be broke; And of their doctrine and their law let us reject the yoke. 4 But he that in the heav'n doth dwell, their doings will deride, And make them all as mocking-stocks throughout the world do wide. 5 For in his wrath he shall reprove their pride and scornful way, And in his fury trouble them, and unto them shall say, 6 I have anointed him my King upon my holy hill; I will therefore, Lord, preach thy law according to thy will. 7 The law whereof the Lord himself hath thus said unto me, Thou art my only Son, this day have I begotten thee. 8 The people I will give to thee, as heirs at thy request; The ends and coasts of all the earth by thee shall be possest. 9 Thou shalt them bruise ev'n like to those, that under foot are trod; And as a potter's vessel break them with an iron rod. 10 Now ye, O kings, and rulers all, be wise therefore and learn'd, By whom the matters of the world are judged and discern'd. 11 See that ye serve the Lord above in trembling and in fear; See that with rev'rence ye rejoice, when ye to him draw near: 12 See that ye do embrace and kiss his Son without delay, Lest in his wrath ye suddenly perish from the right way. 13 If once his wrath (but little) shall be kindled in his breast, Then only they that trust in him shall happy be and blest.

O Lord how are my foes increas'd

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #III (1790) Scripture: Psalm 3 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how are my foes increas'd, who vex me more and more? They break my heart, when as they say, God can him not restore. 2 But thou, O Lord, art my defence, when I am hard bestead, My worship and my honuor both, and thou hold'st up my head. 3 Then with my voice unto the Lord I did both call and cry; And he out of his holy hill did here me instantly. 4 I laid me down, and quietly I slept and rose again, For why? I know assuredly, the Lord did me sustain. 5 If thousands up against me rise, I will not be afraid; For thou art still my Lord and God, my Saviuor and my aid. 6 Rise up therefore, save me, my God, to thee I make my prayer, For thou hast broke the cheeks and teeth of all that wicked are. 7 Salvation only doth belong to thee, O Lord, above, Who on thy people dost bestow thy blessing and thy love.

O God, that art my righteousness

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #IV (1790) Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 O God, that art my righteousness, Lord, hear me when I call; Thou hast set me at liberty, when I was bound in thrall: 2 Have mercy, Lord, therefore on me, and grant me my request, For unto thee incessantly to cry I will not rest. 3 O mortal men, how long will ye my glory thus despise? Why wander ye in vanity, and follow after lies? 4 Know ye that good and godly men the Lord doth take and chuse; And when to him I make complaint, he doth me not refuse. 5 Sin not, but stand in awe therefore, examine well your heart, And in your chamber quietly see ye yourselves convert. 6 Offer to God the sacrifice of righteousness and praise, And look that in the living Lord ye put your trust always. 7 The greater sort crave worldly goods and riches do embrace; But, Lord, grant us thy countenance, thy favour, and thy grace: 8 For thou thereby shalt make my heart more joyful and more glad, Than they that of their corn and wine full great increase have had. 9 In peace therefore lie down will I, taking my rest and sleep; For thou only dost me, O Lord, preserve and safely keep.

Incline thine ears O Lord, and let

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #V (1790) Scripture: Psalm 5 Lyrics: 1 Incline thine ears, O Lord, and let my words have free access To thee, who art my God and King, from whom I seek redress. 2 Hear me betimes, Lord, tarry not, for I will have respect My supplication in the morn to thee for to direct. 3 And I will patiently still trust in thee, my God, alone; Thou art not pleas'd with wickedness, and ill with thee dwells none. 4 Such as be foolish shall not stand in sight of thee, O Lord; Vain workers of iniquity thou hast always abhorr'd. 5 The lyars and base flatterers shall be destroy'd by thee, Blood-thirsty and deceitful men likewise shall hated be. 6 Therefore will I come to thy house, trusting upon thy grace, And rev'rently will worship thee towards thy holy place. 7 Lord, lead me in thy righteousness, for to confound my foes; Also the way that I should walk before my face disclose: 8 For in their mouths there is no truth, their inward filth is great, Their throat an open sepulchre, and tongues full of deceit. 9 Destroy their false conspiracies, that they may come to naught; Subvert them in their heaps of sin, who have rebellion wrought; 10 But those that put their trust in thee, let them be glad always, And render thanks for thy defence, and give thy name the praise 11 For thou with favour wilt encrease the just and righteous still, And with thy grace, as with a shield, defend him from all ill.

Lord in thy wrath reprove me not

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VI (1790) Scripture: Psalm 6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in thy wrath reprove me not, tho' I deserve thine ire; Nor yet correct me in thy rage, O Lord, I thee desire: 2 For I am weak, therefore, O Lord, of mercy me forbear; And heal me, Lord, for why? thou know'st my bones do quake for fear. 3 My soul is troubled very sore, and vex'd exceedingly; But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay to cure my misery? 4 Lord, turn thee to thy wonted grace, some pity on me take; O save me, not for my deserts, but for thy mercies' sake. 5 For why? no man among the dead remembreth thee at all; Or who shall worship thee, O Lord, that in the pit do fall? 6 So grievous is my plaint and moan, that I grow wondrous faint, All the night long I wash my bed with tears of my complaint. 7 My sight is dim, and waxeth old with anguish of my heart, For fear of them that be my foes, and would my soul subvert. 8 But now depart from me, all ye that work iniquity, Because the Lord hath heard the voice of my complaint and cry: 9 He heard not only the request and pray'r of my sad heart, But it received at my hands, and took it in good part. 10 And now my foes that vexed me the Lord wilt soon defame, And suddenly confound them all with great rebuke and shame.

O Lord my God, I put my trust

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 7 Lyrics: 1 O Lord my God, I put my trust and confidence in thee; Save me from them that me pursue, and still deliver me: 2 Lest like a lion me he tear and rend in pieces small, While there is none to succour me, and rid me out of thrall. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done the thing that is not right, Or else if I be found in fault, or guilty in thy sight; 4 Or to my friend rewarded ill, or left him in distress, Who me pursu'd most cruelly, and hated me causeless: 5 Then let my foe pursue my soul, let him my life down thrust Unto the earth, and also lay my honour in the dust. 6 Stand up, O Lord, in wrath, because my foes do rage so fast; Unto the judgment rise for me which thou commanded hast. 7 Then shall great nations come to thee, and know thee by this thing, If thou declare, for love of them, thyself as Lord and King. 8 And as thou art of all men Judge, O Lord, now judge thou me, According to my righteousness and my integrity. The Second Part. 9 Lord, cease the hate of wicked men, and be the just man's guide, By whom the secrets of all hearts are searchèd and descry'd. 10 I take my help to come of God in all my pain and smart, Who doth preserve all those that be of pure and perfect heart. 11 The just man and the wicked both God judgeth by his power, So that he feels his mighty hand ev'n every day and hour. 12 Except he change his mind, I die: for ev'n as he thinks fit, He whets his sword, he bends his bow, aiming where he may hit; 13 And doth prepare his mortal darts his arrows keen and sharp, For them that do me persecute, and do on mischief harp. 14 But 1o, tho' he in travail be of his dev'lish forecast, Yet of his mischief once conceiv'd he brings forth nought at last. 15 He digs a ditch and makes it deep, in hopes to hurt his brother; But he shall fall into the pit that he digg'd up for other. 16 Thus wrong returneth to the hurt of him in whom it bred, And all the mischief that he wrought shall fall on his own head. 17 I will give thanks to God therefore, that judgeth righteously, And with my song will praise the name of him that is most high.

O God our Lord how wonderful

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #VIII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 8 Lyrics: 1 O God our Lord, how wonderful are thy works ev'ry where! Thy fame surmounts in dignity the highest heav'ns that are. 2 E'en by the mouth 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 heav'ns above, the work of thine own hand, The sun, the moon, and all the stars in order as they stand; 4 Lord what is man, that thou of him tak'st such abundant care! Or what the son of man, whom thou to visit dost not spare! 5 For thou hast made him little less than angels in degree, And thou hast also crowned him with glorious dignity. 6 Thou hast preferr'd him to be lord of all thy works, and thou Hast in subjection unto him put all things here below. 7 As sheep, and neat, and all beasts else that in the fields do feed, Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, and all that therein breed; 8 O God our Lord, how excellent is thy most glorious Name In all the earth! therefore do we praise and adore the same.

With heart and mouth to thee O Lord

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #IX (1790) Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 With heart and mouth to thee, O Lord, will I sing laud and praise, And speak of all thy wondrous works, and them declare always. 2 I will be glad and much rejoice in thee, O God most high, And make my songs extol thy Name above the starry sky. 3 Because my foes are driven back and turned unto flight, They do fall down, and are destroy'd by thy great pow'r and might. 4 Thou hast avenged all my wrong, my grief and all my grudge; Thou dost with justice hear my cause most like a righteous Judge. 5 Thou dost rebuke the heathen folk, and wicked so confound, That afterwards the memory of them cannot be found. 6 Destructions to an end are come, and cities overthrown; With them likewise is perished their fame and great renown. 7 Know thou that he who is above for evermore shall reign, And in the seat of equity true judgment will maintain. 8 With justice he will keep and guide the world and every wight; And so will yield with equity to every man his right. 9 He is protector of the poor, what time they be opprest; He is in all adversity their refuge and their rest. 10 And 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 psalms therefore unto the Lord, who dwells on Sion hill; Among the people all declare his noble acts and will. 12 For he is mindful of the blood of them that be opprest, Forgetting not the humble man that seeks to him for rest. 13 Have mercy, Lord, on me, because my foes do yet remain; Who from the gates of death art wont to raise me up again: 14 In Sion that I may set forth thy praise with heart and voice; And that in thy salvation great my soul may still rejoice. 15 The heathen stick fast in the pit, which they themselves prepar'd; And in the net that they did hide their own feet are ensnar'd. 16 By judgments great the Lord is known, whilst wicked men are caught, And fast intangled in the work which their own hands nave wrought. 17 The wicked and deceitful men go down to hell below, And all the people of the world that God refuse to know. 18 But sure the Lord will not forget the poor man's grief and pain; The patient people never look for help of him in vain. 19 O Lord, arise, lest men prevail, that be of worldly might; And let the heathen folk receive their judgment in thy sight. 20 Lord, strike such terror, fear, and dread into their hearts, and then They will be forced to confess themselves to be but men.

What is the cause that thou, O Lord

Author: T. S. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #X (1790) Scripture: Psalm 10 Lyrics: 1 What is the cause that thou, O Lord, so far off now dost stand? Why hidest thou thy face in time when trouble is at hand? 2 The poor do perish by the proud and wicked men's desire; Let them be taken in the craft, which they themselves conspire. 3 For in the lust of his own heart th' ungodly doth delight; So doth the wicked praise himself and doth the Lord despite. 4 He is so proud that right and wrong he setteth all apart; Nay, nay, there is no God, saith he, for thus he thinks in heart. 5 Because his ways do prosper still, he doth thy laws neglect; And with a blast doth puff against such as would him correct. 6 Tush, tush, saith he, I have no dread lest my estate should change; And why? for all adversity to him is very strange. 7 His mouth is full of cursedness, of fraud, deceit, and guile; Under his tongue there nothing is but what is base and vile. 8 He lieth hid in ways and holes to slay the innocent; Against the poor that pass by him his cruel eyes are bent. 9 And, like a lion, privily lies lurking in his den, That he may snare them in his net, and spoil poor harmless men. 10 With cunning craft and subtility he croucheth down alway; So are great heaps of poor men made by his strong pow'r a prey. The Second Part. 11 Tush, God forgetteth this, saith he, therefore I may be bold; His countenance is cast aside, he doth it not behold. 12 Arise, O Lord our God, in whom the poor man's hope doth rest; Lift up thy hand, do not forget the poor that be opprest. 13 Why should the proud and wicked man blaspheme God's holy name Whilst in his heart he crieth, Tush, God cares not for the same? 14 But thou seest all their wickedness, and well dost understand, That friendless and poor fatherless are left into thy hand. 15 Of wicked and malicious men then break the pow'r alway, That they with their iniquity may perish and decay. 16 The Lord doth reign for evermore as King and God alone, And he will chase out of the land the heathen folk each one. 17 Thou hearest, Lord, the poor's complaint, their prayer and their request; Their hearts thou wilt confirm, until thine ears to hear be prest. 18 To judge the poor and fatherless and help them to their right, That they may be no more oppress'd by men of worldly might.
