Be Merciful, O God
Be merciful to me, O God
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P57a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Be merciful to me, O God;
be merciful to me;
because my soul her confidence
doth wholly place in thee.
Yea, in the shadow of thy wings
my refuge I will place,
until thee sad calamities
do wholly overpass.
2 My cry I will cause to ascend
to God who is most high;
to God, who doth all things for me
perform most perfectly.
3 From heaven he shall send down, and me
from his reproach defend
that would devour me: God his truth
and mercy forth shall send.
4 My soul among fierce lions is,
I firebrands live among,
men's sons, whose teeth are spears and darts,
a sharp sword is their tongue.
5 Be thou exalted very high
above the heavens, O God;
let thou thy glory be advanced
o'er all the earth abroad.
6 My soul's bowed down; for they a net
have laid, my steps to snare:
into the pit which they have digged
for me, they fallen are.
7 My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed,
O God; I'll sing and praise.
8 My glory wake; wake psaltery, harp:
myself I'll early raise.
9 I'll praise thee 'mong the people,Lord;
'mong nations sing will I:
10 for great to heaven thy mercy is,
thy truth is to the sky.
11 O Lord, exalted by thy name
above the heavens to stand:
do thou thy glory far advance
above both sea and land. Scripture: Psalm 57 Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)
Be merciful to me, O God
O God, Be Merciful
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #110 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful,
Be merciful to me,
For man, with constant hate,
Would fain my ruin see.
My many enemies
Against me proudly fight;
To overwhelm my soul
They watch from morn to night.
2 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm,
With God my Helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait.
Shall they be wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness,
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are thy not in Thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know,
That God is still for me.

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #112 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful to me,
My soul for refuge comes to Thee;
Beneath Thy wings I safe will stay,
Until these troubles pass away.
To God Most High shall rise my prayer,
To God who makes my wants His care;
From heaven He will salvation send,
And me from every foe defend.
2 Great foes and fierce my soul alarm,
Inflamed with rage and strong to harm,
But God, from heaven His dwelling-place,
Will rescue me with truth and grace.
Be Thou, O God, exalted high,
Yea, far above the starry sky,
And let Thy glory be displayed
O’er all the earth Thy hands have made.
3 My soul is grieved because my foes
With treacherous plans my way enclose;
But from the snares that they devise
Their own undoing shall arise.
My heart is steadfast, O my King,
My heart is tuned Thy praise to sing;
Awake, my soul, and swell the song,
Let vibrant harp the notes prolong.
4 Yea, I will early wake and sing,
A thankful hymn to Thee will bring,
For unto heaven Thy mercies rise,
Thy truth is lofty as the skies.
Be Thou, O God, exalted high,
Yea, far above the starry sky,
And let Thy glory be displayed
O’er all the earth Thy hands have made. Topics: Deliverance From Enemies; God the Hearer of Prayer; Music; Praise for God's Works; Protection; God of Christ our Refuge; Security; Truth Scripture: Psalm 57 Languages: English Tune Title: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

O God, Be Merciful
O God, Be Merciful to Me
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #7a (2009) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: O God, be merciful to me
Because your love is strong;
Now wash me from iniquity
And cleanse me from all wrong.
These words are old, but still they live
Within our hearts today.
We cry to you: “O God, forgive!”
And “Wash our sins away!”
My sin has kept me far from you;
Your wrath is justified.
Why is it, Lord? The things I do
Have crushed my bones inside!
I try to make it on my own
As if I’m all I need,
Until I find I’m all alone,
Wrapped up in pride and greed.
Yet this is not the final word,
For you forgive our sin!
When we return to you, O Lord,
You give us joy again.
