O praise the Lord, for he is good

Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1,2 O praise the Lord, for he is good, his Mercies ne'er decay: That his kind Favours ever last let thankful Isr'el say. 3,4 Their Sense of his eternal Love, let Aaron's House express; And that it never fails, let all that fear the Lord, confess. 5 To God I made my humble Moan, with Troubles quite opprest; And he releas'd me from my Straits, and granted my Request. 6 Since therefore God does on my Side so graciously appear, Why should the vain Attempts of Men possess my Soul with Fear? 7 Since God with those that aid my Cause vouchsafes my Part to take, To all my Foes, I need not doubt, a just Return to make. 8,9 For better 'tis to trust in God, and have the Lord our Friend, Than on the greatest human Pow'r for Safety to depend. 10,11 Tho' many Nations closely leagu'd, did oft beset me round; yet by his boundless Pow'r sustain'd, I did their Strength confound. 12 They swarm'd like Bees, and yet their Rage was but a short-liv'd blaze; For whilst on God I still rely'd, I vanquish'd them with Ease. 13 When all united press'd me hard, in hopes to make me fall; The Lord vouchsaf'd to take my part, and sav'd me from them all. 14 The Honour of my strange Escape to him alone belongs; He is my Saviour and my Strength, he only claims my Songs. 15 Joy fills the Dwelling of the Just, whom God has sav'd from Harm; For wond'rous Things are brought to pass by his Almighty Arm. 16 He, by his own resistless Pow'r, has endless Honour won; The saving Strength of his right Hand, amazing works has done. 17 God will not suffer me to fall, but still prolongs my Days; That by declaring all his works I may advance his Praise. 18 When God has sorely me chastiz'd, till quite of Hopes bereav'd, His Mercy from the Gates of Death my fainting Life repriev'd. 19 Then open wide the Temple Gates to which the Just repair, That I may enter in and praise my great Deliv'rer there. 20,21 Within those Gates of God's Abode to which the Righteous press, Since thou hast heard, and set me safe, thy holy Name I'll bless. 22,23 That which the Builders once refus'd, is now the Corner Stone. This is the wond'rous Work of God, the Work of God alone. 24,25 This Day is God's; let all the land exalt their chearful Voice; Lord, we beseech thee, save us now, and make us still rejoice. 26 Him that approaches in God's Name, let all th' Assembly bless; "We that belong to God's own House "have wish'd you good Success." 27 God is the Lord, through whom we all both Light and Comfort find; Fast to the Altar's Horns with Cords the chosen Victim bind. 28 Thou art my Lord, O God, and still I'll praise thy holy Name; Because thou only art my God, I'll celebrate thy Fame. 29 O then with me give Thanks to God, who still does gracious prove; And let the Tribute of our Praise be endless as his Love.

Let Christians all confess their sad division And seek the strength again as one to stand. 5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation, May hallow all the week this is to come.

Give Thanks unto the Lord Jehovah

Author: Anonymous Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:1-25 First Line: Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah, for he is good, O praise his name! Let Israel say: "The Lord be praised;, his mercy ever is the same." Let Aaron's house now praise Jehovah; the Lord is good, O praise his name. Let all that fear the Lord extol him; his mercy ever is the same. 2 In a large place the Lord has set me; in my distress he heard my cry. I will not fear; the Lord is with me - What can man do, when God is nigh? The Lord is chief among my helpers; and I shall see my foes o'erthrown: far better than in man or princes, my trust I place in God alone. 3 I shall not die, but live, declaring the works of God, who tried me sore, and chastened me, but in his mercy not unto death has giv'n me o'er. The gates of righteousness set open, the gate of God! I'll enter in to praise you, Lord, who pray'r have answered, and have saved me from all my sin. 4 The stone - O Lord, it is your doing - the stone, the builders did despise, is made the headstone of the corner, and it is marv'lous in our eyes. This is the day, of days most glorious, the Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing. Send now prosperity, we pray, Lord; and, O our God, salvation bring!
