Let God arise, and then his foes
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LXVIII (1790) Hymnal Title: The Whole Book of Psalms Lyrics: 1 Let God arise, and then his foes
will turn themselves to flight,
His enemies for fear shall run,
and scatter out of sight:
2 And as wax melts before the fire,
and wind blows smoke away,
So in the presence of the Lord
the wicked shall decay.
3 But righteous men before the Lord
shall heartily rejoice,
They shall be glad and merry all,
and chearful in their voice.
4 Sing praise, sing praise unto the Lord,
who rideth on the sky;
Extol the great Jehovah's Name,
and him still magnify:
5 The same is he, that is above
within his holy place,
The father of the fatherless,
and judge of widows case:
6 Houses and issue both he gives
unto the comfortless,
He bringeth bondmen out of thrall,
and rebels to distress.
7 When thou didst march before thy folk
th' Egyptians from among,
And brought'st them thro' the wilderness,
which was both wide and long;
8 The earth did shake, the heav'ns did drop,
great thunder-claps were heard,
Mount Sinai also moved was,
when Israel's God appear'd:
9 Thy heritage with drops of rain
abundantly was wash'd;
And if so be it barren was,
by thee it was refresh'd:
10 Thy chosen flock doth there remain,
thou hast prepar'd that place,
And for the poor thou dost provide
of thy especial grace.
The Second part.
11 God will give women causes just
to magnify his Name,
When as his people triumphs make,
and purchase mighty fame.
12 Puissant kings, for all their pow'r,
shall flee and take the foil,
And women which remain at home
shall help to part the spoil.
13 And tho' ye were as black as pots,
your hue shall pass the dove,
Whose wings and feathers seem to have
silver and gold above.
14 When God shall triumph in this land
o'er kings both high and low,
Then shall it be like Salmon hill,
as white as is the snow.
15 Tho' Basan be a fruitful hill,
and in height others pass,
Yet Sion, God's most holy hill,
doth far excel in grace.
16 Why leap ye thus, ye hills most high,
and thus in pride do swell?
The hill of Sion God doth love,
And there will ever dwell.
17 God's army twenty thousand is
of angels great and strong;
The Lord also in Sinai
is present them among.
18 Thou didst, O Lord, ascend on high,
and captive led'st them all,
Who in times past thy chosen flock
in bondage did enthral.
19 Thou hast receivèd gifts for men,
ev'n for thy enemies,
Unto the end that God the Lord
might dwell with them likewise,
20 Now praised be the Lord, for that
he pours on us such grace;
From day to day he is the God
both of our health and peace.
The Third Part.
21 He is the God, from whom alone
salvation we obtain,
He is the God, by whom we 'scape
all dangers, death and pain:
22 And he shall wound the head of all
his enemies also,
The hairy scalp of such as on
in wickedness still go.
23 From Basan will I bring, said he,
my people and my sheep,
And all my own, as I have done,
from dangers of the deep,
24 And make them dip their feet in blood
of those that hate my Name;
The tongues of dogs they shall be red
with licking of the same.
25 Thy goings they have seen, O God,
unto their own disgrace,
How thou, my God and King, dost go
within thy holy place;
26 The singers go before with joy,
the minstrels make no stay,
And in the midst the damsels do
with timbrels sweetly play.
27 Now in the congregations thou,
O Israel, praise the Lord,
And Jacob's whole posterity,
give thanks with one accord:
28 The chief was little Benjamin,
but Judah made their host,
With Zabulon and Nephthalim,
who dwelt about their coast.
29 Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee;
O God, make firm and sure
The thing, that thou hast wrought in us
for ever to endure:
30 Then in thy temple gifts will we,
offer to thee, O Lord,
And in thy own Jerusalem
praise thee with one accord;
The Fourth Part.
31 Yea, and strange kings, by us subdu'd,
shall do like in those days;
For unto thee they shall present
their gifts of laud and praise.
32 He shall destroy the spearmen's ranks,
the calves and bulls of might,
And make them tribute pay, and daunt
all such as love to fight.
33 Then shall the lords of Egypt come,
and presents with them bring;
The Moors also stretch out their hands
to God, their Lord and King.
34 Therefore, ye kingdoms of the earth,
give praise unto the Lord;
Sing psalms to God with one consent,
thereto let all accord,
35 For he doth ride, and ever did
above the heav'ns most bright,
And by his fearful thunder-claps
men may well know his might.
36 Therefore the strength of Israel
ascribe to God on high,
Whose might and pow'r doth far extend
above the cloudy sky.
37 O God, thy holiness and pow'r
is dread for evermore;
The God of Israel gives us strength,
therefore his Name adore. Scripture: Psalm 68 Languages: English
Let God arise, and then his foes
Exurgat Deus
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #35 (1640) Hymnal Title: The Whole Booke of Psalmes First Line: Let God arise and then his foes Lyrics: 1 Let God arise and then his foes
will turn themselves to flight:
His enemies then will run abroad
and scatter out of sight.
2 And as the fire doth melt the waxe,
and wind blowes smoke away:
So in the presence of the Lord,
the wicked shall decay.
3 But righteous men before the Lord,
shall heartily rejoyce:
They shall be glad and merry all,
and chearful in their voice.
4 Sing praise, sing praise unto the Lord,
who rideth on the skie:
Extoll the Name of Jah our God,
and him still magnifie.
5 The same is he that is above,
within his holy place:
That Father is of fatherlesse,
and judge of widdows case.
6 Houses he gives and issue both,
unto the comfortlesse:
He bringeth bondmen out of thrall,
and rebels to distresse.
7 When thou didst march before thy folk
th' Egyptians from among:
And broughtst them through the wilderness
which was both wide and long.
8 The earth did quake, the rain powr'd down
heard were great claps of thunder:
The mount Sinai shook in such sort,
as it would cleave in sunder.
9 Thine heritage with drops of raine
abundantly was washt:
And if so be it barren waxt.
by thee it was refresst.
10 Thy chosen flock doth there remaine
thou hast prepar'd that place:
And for the poore thou dost provide
of thine especiall grace.
The second Part:
11 God will give women causes just,
to magnifie his Name:
When as his people triumphs make,
and purchase bruit and fame.
12 For puissant kings for all their power
shall flee and take the foile:
And women which remaine at home
shall help to part the spoile.
13 And though ye were as black as pots,
your hue shall passe the Dove:
Whose wings and feathers seem to have
silver and gold above.
14 When in this land God shall triumph
ore kings both high and low:
Then shall it be like Salmon hill,
as white as any snow.
15 Though Basan be a fruitful hill,
and in height others passe:
Yet Sion God's most holy hill,
doth farre excell in grace.
16 Why brag ye thus ye hills most high,
and leap for pride together?
The hill of Sion God doth love,
And there will dwell for ever.
17 God's army is two millions
of warriours good and strong:
The Lord also in Sinai
is present them among.
18 Thou didst (O Lord) ascend on high,
and captive ledst them all:
Which in times past thy chosen flock
in bondage kept and thrall.
Thou mad'st them tribute for to pay,
and such as did repine
Thou didst subdue that they might dwell
in thy Temple divine.
19 Now praised be the Lord for that
he powres on us such grace:
From day to day he is the God
of our health and solace.
The third Part:
20 He is the God from whom alone
salvation commeth plaine:
He is the God by whom we scape
all dangers, death, and paine.
21 Thus God shall wound his enemies head
and break the hairy scalpe
Of those that in their wickednesse
continually do walk.
22 From Basan will I bring, said he,
my people and my sheep:
And all mine own, as I have done,
from dangers of the deep.
22 And make them dip their feet in blood
of those that hate my Name:
And dogs shal have their tongues inbr'd
with licking of the same.
24 All men may see how thou O God,
thine enemies dost deface;
And how thou go'st as God and King
into thine holy place.
25 The singers go before with joy,
the minstrels follow after:
And in the midst the damsels play,
with timbrell and with taber.
26 Now in the Congregation,
O Israel, praise the Lord.
And Jacobs whole posterity,
give thanks with one accord:
27 The chiefe was little Benjamin,
but Juda made their host:
With Zebulon and Nephthalim,
which dwelt about their coast.
28 As God hath given power to thee,
so Lord make firme and sure:
The thing that thou bast wrought in us:
for ever to endure.
29 And in thy Temple gifts will we
give unto thee O Lord:
For thine unto Jerusalem,
sure promise made by word.
The fourth Part:
Yea and strange Kings to us subdu'd,
shall do like in those daies:
I meane thee they shall present
their gifts of laud and praise.
30 He shall destroy the speaermens ranks
the calves and buls of might:
And cause them tribute pay and daunt
all such as love to fight.
31 Then shall the Lords of Egypt come,
and presents with them bring
The Moors most black shal stretch their hands
unto their Lord and King.
32 Therefore ye kingdoms of the earth,
give praise unto the Lord:
Sing Psalmes to God with one consent,
thereto let all accord.
33 Who though he ride and ever hath
above the heavens bright:
Yet by his fearfull thunder-claps
men may well know his might.
34 Therefore the strength of Israel
ascribe to God on hie:
Whose might and power doth far extend
above the cloudie skie.
35 O God, thy holiness eand power
is dread for evermore:
The God of Israel gives us strength,
praised be God therefore. Scripture: Psalm 68 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let God arise and then his foes]
