O thou the God of all my praise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou the God of all my praise, do thou not hold thy peace; 2 for mouths of wicked men to speak against me do not cease: the mouths of vile deceitful men against me opened be; and with a false and lying tongue they have accused me. 3 They did beset me round with words of hatred and of spite; and, though to them no cause I gave, against me they did fight. 4 They for my love became my foes, I set myself to pray. 5 Evil for good, hatred for love, to me they did repay. 6 Set thou the wicked over him; and upon his right hand against him in the judgment let the adversary stand. 7 And when by thee he shall be judged, let him condemned be; and let his prayer sin become, when he shall call on thee. 8 Few be his days, and in his room his charge another take. 9 His children let be fatherless, his wife a widow make. 10 His children let be vagabonds, and beg continually; and from their places desolate seek bread for their supply. 11 Let covetous extortioners catch all he hath away: of all for which he laboured hath let strangers make a prey. 12 Let there be none to pity him, let there be none at all that on his children fatherless will let his mercy fall. 13 Let his posterity from earth cut off for ever be, and in the next age let their name be blotted out by thee. 14 Let God his father’s wickedness still to remembrance call; and never let his mother’s sin be blotted out at all. 15 But let them all before the Lord appear continually, that he may wholly from the earth cut off their memory. 16 Because he mercy minded not, but persecuted still the poor and needy, that he might the broken-hearted kill. 17 As he in cursing pleasure took, so doth it to him fall; as he delighted not to bless, he is not blest at all. 18 As cursing he like clothes puts on, into his bowels so, like water, and into his bones, like oil, it down doth go. 19 Like to the garment let it be which doth himself array, and for a girdle, wherewith he is girt about alway. 20 From God let this be their reward that enemies are to me, and their reward that speak against my soul maliciously. 21 But for thine own name’s sake, deal thou, O God the Lord, with me: Since good thy loving-kindness is, from trouble set me free. 22 For I am poor and indigent, afflicted sore am I, my heart within me also is wounded exceedingly. 23 I pass like a declining shade, I'm like the locust tossed: 24 my knees through fasting weakened are, my flesh hath fatness lost. 25 I also am a vile reproach unto them made to be; and they that did upon me look do shake their heads at me. 26 O thou, who art the Lord my God, an helper be to me; and, for thy tender mercy’s sake, do thou my Saviour be. 27 That thereby they may know that this is thy almighty hand; and that thou, Lord, hast done the same they may well understand. 28 Although they curse with spite, yet, Lord, bless thou with loving voice: let them ashamed be when they rise; thy servant let rejoice. 29 Let thou mine adversaries fierce with shame be clothed all; and, as a mantle, over them let their confusion fall. 30 But as for me, I with my mouth will greatly praise the Lord; and I among the multitude his praises will record. 31 For at the right hand of the poor shall stand the Lord most high, to save him from all those that would condemn his soul to die.

Hear thou my prayer, O God, hide not

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hear thou my prayer, O God, hide not from my entreating voice: 2 attend and hear me, in my plaint I mourn and make a noise; 3 for voice of enemies, and for vile men’s oppression great: on me they cast iniquity, and they in wrath me hate. 4 Sore pained within me is my heart: death’s terrors on me fall. 5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread me overwhelmed withal. 6 O that I like a dove had wings, said I, then would I flee far hence, that I might find a place where I in rest might be. 7 Lo, then far off I wander would, and in the desert stay; 8 from stormy wind and tempest I would haste to ‘scape away. 9 O Lord, on them destruction bring, do thou their tongues divide; for in the city violence and strife have I descried. 10 They day and night upon the walls do compass it around: there mischief is, and sorrow there in midst of it is found. 11 Abundant wickedness there is within its inward part; and from its streets deceitfulness and guile do not depart. 12 He was no foe that me reproached, for that I could abide; no hater that against me rose, else I from him might hide. 13 'Twas thou, a man, mine equal, guide, who mine acquaintance wast: 14 we joined sweet counsels: to God’s house amidst the throng we passed. 15 Let death them seize, and to the grave alive let them depart; for wickedness is in their house and evil in their heart. 16 I call on God; the Lord me saves. 17 I make my plaint and sigh at evening, morning, and at noon; and he regards my cry. 18 He hath my soul delivered, that it in peace might be from battle that against me was; for many were with me. 19 The Lord shall hear and them afflict (of old abideth he), even them who have no fear of God, and changes never see. 20 ’Gainst those that were at peace with him he hath put forth his hand: the covenant that he had made, by breaking he profaned. 21 More smooth than butter were his words, while in his heart was war: his speeches were more soft than oil, and yet drawn swords they are. 22 Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain; yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain. 23 But thou, O God, in judgment just those men shalt overthrow, and in destruction’s dungeon dark at last shalt lay them low; The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days: but upon thee with confidence I will depend always.

In Judah God is known, his name

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Judah God is known: his name is great in Israel; 2 in Salem is his holy place, in Zion hHe doth dwell. 3 There arrows of the bow he brake, the shield, the sword, the war. 4 More glorious thou than hills of prey, more excellent by far. 5 Those that were stout of heart are spoiled, they slept their sleep outright; and none of those their hands did find, that were the men of might. 6 When they rebuke, O Jacob's God, had forth against them passed, their horses and their chariots were into a dead sleep cast. 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared, and what man then is he that may stand up before thy sight, if once thou angry be? 8 From heaven thou madest judgment heard; the earth was still with fear, 9 when God to judgment to dispense all meek on earth that were. 10 Surely the very wrath of man unto thy praise redounds: thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds. 11 Vow to the Lord your God, and pay: all ye that round him be, bring gifts and presents unto him; for to be feared is he. 12 For he the spirit shall cut off of those that princes be; unto the kings that are on earth most terrible is he.

O send thy light forth and thy truth

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O send thy light forth and thy truth; let them be guides to me, and bring me to thine holy hill, even where thy dwellings be. 2 Then will I to God's altar go, to God my chiefest joy: yea, God, my God, thy name to praise my harp I will employ. 3 Why art thou then cast down, my soul? what should discourage thee? Any why with vexing thoughts art thou disquieted in me? 4 Still trust in God; for him to praise good cause I yet shall have: he of my countenance is the health, my God that doth me save.
