Psalm 69 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and powers of death, And all the sons of malice, join To execute their cursed design. Yet, gracious God, thy power and love Has made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son Atoned for sins which we had done. The pangs of our expiring Lord The honors of thy law restored; His sorrows made thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.

His deep distress has raised us high; His duty and his zeal Fulfilled the law which mortals broke, And finished all thy will. His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood. This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise.

Psalm 69 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69:1-14 First Line: Save me, O God, the swelling floods Lyrics: "Save me, O God, the swelling floods Break in upon my soul; I sink, and sorrows o'er my head Like mighty waters roll. "I cry till all my voice be gone, In tears I waste the day: My God, behold my longing eyes, And shorten thy delay. "They hate my soul without a cause, And still their number grows More than the hairs around my head, And mighty are my foes. "'Twas then I paid that dreadful debt That men could never pay, And gave those honors to thy law Which sinners took away." Thus in the great Messiah's name, The royal prophet mourns; Thus he awakes our hearts to grief, And gives us joy by turns. "Now shall the saints rejoice, and find Salvation in my name; For I have borne their heavy load Of sorrow, pain, and shame. "Grief, like a garment, clothed me round, And sackcloth was my dress, While I procured for naked souls A robe of righteousness. "Amongst my brethren and the Jews I like a stranger stood, And bore their vile reproach, to bring The Gentiles near to God. "I came in sinful mortals' stead, To do my Father's will; Yet when I cleansed my Father's house, They scandalized my zeal. "My fasting and my holy groans Were made the drunkard's song; But God, from his celestial throne, Heard my complaining tongue. "He saved me from the dreadful deep, Nor let my soul be drowned; He raised and fixed my sinking feet On well-established ground. "'Twas in a most accepted hour My prayer arose on high; And for my sake my God shall hear The dying sinner's cry.

He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave.

["My Father's house," said he, "was made A place for worship, not for trade:" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourged the merchants from the place.] [Zeal for the temple of his God Consumed his life, exposed his blood; Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourned them as his own.] [His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful tree: There hung the Man that died for me. [Wretches with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that raised him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head.

Save me O God from Waves that roll

Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, from Waves that roll, And press to overwhelm my Soul. 2 With painful Steps in Mire I tread, And Deluges o'erflow my Head. 3 With restless Cries my Spirits faint; My Voice is hoarse with long Complaint; My Sight decays with tedious Pain, Whilst for my God i wait in vain. 4 My Hairs, tho' num'rous, are but few, Compar'd with Foes that me pursue With groundless Hate, grown now of Might, To execute their lawless Spite: Thy force me, guiltless, to resign, As Rapine, what by Right was mine. 5 Thou, Lord, my Innocence dost see, Nor are my Sins conceal'd from Thee. 6 Lord God of Hosts, take timely Care, Lest, for my sake, thy Saints despair: 7 Since I have suffer'd for thy Name Reproach, and hide my Face in Shame; 8 A Stranger to my Country grown, Nor to my nearest Kindred known; A Foreigner, expos'd to Scorn By Brethren of my Mother born. 9 For Zeal to thy lov'd House and Name Consumes me like devouring Flame; Concern'd at their Affronts to Thee, More than at Slanders cast on me. 10 My very Tears and Abstinence They construe in a spiteful Sense. 11 When cloath'd with Sackcloth for their sake, They me their common Proverb make. 12 Their Judges make my Wrongs their Jest, Those Wrongs they ought to have redress'd. How should I then expect to be From Libels of lewd Drunkards free? 13 But, Lord, to Thee I will repair For Help, with humble, timely Pray'r: Relieve me from thy Mercy's Store: Display thy Truth's preserving Pow'r. 14 From threat'ning Dangers me relieve, And from the Mire my Feet retrieve; From spiteful Foes in Safety keep, 15 Controul the Deluge, ere it spread, And roll its Waves above my Head; Nor deep Destruction's yawning Pit To close her Jaws on me permit. 16 Lord, hear the humble Pray'r I make, For thy transcending Goodness' sake; Relieve thy Supplicant once more From thy abounding Mercy's Store. 17 Nor from thy Servant hid thy Face; Make haste; for desp'rate is my Case; 18 Thy timely Succour interpose, And shield me from remorsless Foes. 19 Thou know'st what Infamy and Scorn I from my Enemies have borne; Nor can their close-dissembled Spite, Or darkest Plots, escape thy Sight. 20 Reproach and Grief have broke my Heart: I look'd for some to take my Part, To pity or relieve my Pain; But look'd, alas! for both in vain. 21 With Hunger pin'd, for Food I call; Instead of Food, they give me Gall; And when with Thirst my Spirits sink, They give me Vinegar to drink. 22 Their Table therefore to their Health Shall prove a Snare, a Trap their Wealth; 23 Perpetual Darkness seize their Eyes; And sudden Blasts their Hopes surprise. 24 On them Thou shalt thy Fury pour, 'Till thy fierce Wrath their Race devour; 25 And make their House a dismal Cell, Where none will e'er vouchsafe to dwell. 26 For new Afflictions they procur'd For him who had thy Stripes endur'd; And made the wounds thy Scourge had torn To blend afreash with sharper Scorn. 27 Sin shall to Sin their Steps betray, Till they to Truth have lost the Way. 28 From Life thou shalt exclude their Soul, Nor with the Just their Names inrol. 29 But me, how'er distress'd and poor, Thy strong Salvation shalt restore; 30 Thy Pow'r with Songs I'll then proclaim, And celebrate with Thanks thy Name. 31 Our God shall this more highly prize, Than Herds or Flocks in Sacrifice: 32 Which humble Saints with Joy shall see, And hope for like Redress with me. 33 For God regards the Poor's Complaint; Sets Pris'ners free from close Restraint. 34 Let Heav'n, Earth, Sea, their voices raise, And all the world resound His Praise. 35 For God will Sion's Walls erect; Fair Judah's Cities He'll protect; Till all her scatter'd Sons repair To undisturb'd Possession there. 36 This Blessing they shall, at their Death, To their religious Heirs bequeath; And they to endless Ages more, Of such as His blest Name adore.

There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of the mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep?

Psalm 69: Save me, O God, because the floods

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1Save me, O God, because the floods do so environ me, That ev’n unto my very soul come in the waters be. 2I downward in deep mire do sink, where standing there is none: I am into deep waters come, where floods have o’er me gone. 3I weary with my crying am, my throat is also dry’d; Mine eyes do fail, while for my God I waiting do abide. 4Those men that do without a cause bear hatred unto me, Than are the hairs upon my head in number more they be: They that would me destroy, and are mine en’mies wrongfully, Are mighty: so what I took not, to render forc’d was I. They that would me destroy, and are mine en’mies wrongfully, Are mighty: so what I took not, to render forc’d was I. 5Lord, thou my folly know’st, my sins not cover’d are from thee. 6Let none that wait on thee be sham’d, Lord God of hosts, for me. O Lord, the God of Israel, let none, who search do make, And seek thee, be at any time confounded for my sake. 7For I have borne reproach for thee, my face is hid with shame. 8To brethren strange, to mother’s sons an alien I became. 9Because the zeal did eat me up, which to thine house I bear; And the reproaches cast at thee, upon me fallen are. 10My tears and fasts, t’ afflict my soul, were turned to my shame. 11When sackcloth I did wear, to them a proverb I became. 12The men that in the gate do sit against me evil spake; They also that vile drunkards were of me their song did make. 13But, in an acceptable time, my pray’r, Lord, is to thee: In truth of thy salvation, Lord, and mercy great, hear me. 14Deliver me out of the mire, from sinking do me keep; Free me from those that do me hate, and from the waters deep. 15Let not the flood on me prevail, whose water overflows; Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit her mouth upon me close. 16Hear me, O Lord, because thy love and kindness is most good; Turn unto me, according to thy mercies’ multitude. 17Nor from thy servant hide thy face: I’m troubled, soon attend. 18Draw near my soul, and it redeem; me from my foes defend. 19To thee is my reproach well known, my shame, and my disgrace: Those that mine adversaries be are all before thy face. 20Reproach hath broke my heart; I’m full of grief: I look’d for one To pity me, but none I found; comforters found I none. 21They also bitter gall did give unto me for my meat: They gave me vinegar to drink, when as my thirst was great. 22Before them let their table prove a snare; and do thou make Their welfare and prosperity a trap themselves to take. 23Let thou their eyes so darken’d be, that sight may them forsake; And let their loins be made by thee continually to shake. 24Thy fury pour thou out on them, and indignation; And let thy wrathful anger, Lord, fast hold take them upon. 25All waste and desolate let be their habitation; And in their tabernacles all inhabitants be none. 26Because him they do persecute, whom thou didst smite before; They talk unto the grief of those whom thou hast wounded sore. 27Add thou iniquity unto their former wickedness; And do not let them come at all into thy righteousness. 28Out of the book of life let them be raz’d and blotted quite; Among the just and righteous let not their names be writ. 29But now become exceeding poor and sorrowful am I: By thy salvation, O my God, let me be set on high. 30The name of God I with a song most cheerfully will praise; And I, in giving thanks to him, his name shall highly raise. 31This to the Lord a sacrifice more gracious shall prove Than bullock, ox, or any beast that hath both horn and hoof. 32When this the humble men shall see, it joy to them shall give: O all ye that do seek the Lord, your hearts shall ever live. 33For God the poor hears, and will not his prisoners contemn. 34Let heav’n, and earth, and seas, him praise, and all that move in them. 35For God will Judah’s cities build, and he will Sion save, That they may dwell therein, and it in sure possession have. 36And they that are his servants’ seed inherit shall the same; So shall they have their dwelling there that love his blessed name.

Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me, O GOD: for mighty streams Lyrics: 1 Save me, O GOD: for mighty streams break now into my soul: 2 In depths of mire and floods I sink, and torrents o'er me roll. 3 I with my crying weary am; my throat is thereby dry: And my eyes fail, while for my God, I wait attentively. 4 Those men who for no cause at all to me great hatred bear, More than the hairs upon my head increas'd in number are. Yea mighty are my causeless foes, who would me hurt and slay; Then I resigned and gave up what I ne'er took away. [2 Part] 5 O GOD, Thou know'st my foolishness, Thou dost it fully see; And all my faults of life and heart, lie open clear to Thee. 6 Lord, LORD of hosts, let none who wait on Thee have shame for me; Nor those who seek Thee, Isr'el's God, for me confounded be. 7 Because 'tis only for thy sake, I suffer this disgrace; And for Thy sake alone it is, confusion spreads my face. 8 For Thee, to my own brethren I a stranger quite became; And to my mother's children I, an utter alien am. 9 For of thy house the fervent zeal hath ev'n consumed me; And on me their reproaches fell, who have reproached Thee. 10 My weeping, fasting, grief of soul, to my reproach were turn'd; 11 A proverb to them I became, when I in sackcloth mourn'd. 12 Who sat in gates of dignity, on me did censures pass; And I the subject of the song of stupid drunkards was. 13 But, LORD, in an accepted time I make my pray'r to Thee: In thy great mercy, O my GOD, and saving truth hear me. [3 Part] 14 O rescue me out of the mire, and me from sinking keep: Free me from those who hate my soul, and out of waters deep. 15 Let not the floods me overflow, nor the deep swallow me, Nor mouth of the devouring grave upon me closed be. 16 LORD hear me: for exceeding good is thy benignity; And in thy mercies multitude O turn and look to me. 17 O do not from thy servant hide, thy countenance away; For I in grievous trouble am: hear me without delay. 18 O draw Thou near my troubled soul, redeem and set it free; And from my powerful enemies, do Thou deliver me. 19 Thou knowest all my vile reproach, my shame, and my disgrace: Mine adversaries and their plots are all before thy face. 20 My heart is broken with reproach, and full of heaviness: I look'd, but found no comforter, not one to give me ease. 21 But bitter gall was all the food, they to me offer'd have; And in my parching thirst, for drink sharp vinegar they gave. [4 Part] 22 Before them shall their table prove a snare: and Thou wilt make Their temporal prosperity a trap, themselves to take. 23 Thick darkness on their eyes shall come, that they shall nothing see: And Thou wilt make their loins to shake, for fear, continually. 24 Thou wilt thine anger on them pour; thy wrath shall seize them fast: 25 Their palace shall be desolate; and all their tents be waste: 26 For, him whom Thou hast smitten down, they persecute the more; And vex him with malicious words, whom Thou didst wound before. 27 Thou wilt them therefore justly leave to add more sin to sin; And they thy paths of righteousness shall never enter in. 28 Out of the book of living ones Thou wilt them wholly blot; And in the roll of righteous men, they never shall be wrote. [5 Part] 29 I'm poor, distress'd: salvation grant; raise me, O GOD, on high. 30 I'll praise the name of GOD with songs, with thanks Him magnify. 31 This will be pleasing to the LORD, and better in his eyes, Than any bullocks fat and young, mature for sacrifice. 32 And when the humble this shall see, it joy to them will give: And ye who seek the blessed GOD, your heart shall ever life. 33 Because JEHOVAH hears the poor, his pris'ners won't despise; 34 Let heav'ns, earth, seas, and ev'ry thing that moves therein Him praise. 35 For GOD will Judah's cities build, and Zion he will save; That they may dwell therein, and them for their possession have. 36 The children of his servants too inherit shall the same; And those shall have their dwelling there who truly love his name.

Salvum me fac

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me O God, and that with speed Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, and that with speed, the waters flow full fast: So nigh my soul do they proceed, that I am sore agast. 2 I sincke full deepe in mire and clay, whereas I feele no ground: I fall into such floods I say, that I am like be drownd. 3 With crying oft, I faint and quaile, my throat is hoarse and drie With looking up my sight doth faile, for help to God on high. 4 My foes that guiltlesse do oppresse my soul, with hate are led: In number sure they are no lesse than haires are on my head. 5 Though for no cause they vexe me sore they prosper and are glad: They do compell me to restore the things I never had. 6 What I have done for want of wit, thou Lord all times canst tell: And all the faults that I commit, to thee are known full well. 7 O God of hosts, defend and stay all those that trust in thee: Let no man doubt or shrink away, for ought that chanceth me. 8 It is for thee and for thy sake, that I do beare this blame: In spite to thee they would me make to hide my face for shame. 9 My mothers sonnes my brethren all forsake me on a row: And as a stranger they me call, my face they will not know. 10 Unto thy house such zeal I beare, that it doth pine me much: Their checks and taunts at thee to heare. my very heart doth grutch. The second Part: 11 Though I do fast my flesh to chast, yea if I weep and mone: Yet in my teeth this thing is cast, they passe not thereupon. 12 If I for griefe and paine of heart in sackcloth use to walk: Then they anon will it pervert, thereof they jest and talk. 13 Both high and low, and all the throng that sit within the gate: They have me ever in their tongue, of me they talk and prate, 14 They drunkard which in wine delight, it is their chiefe pastime: To seek which way to work me spight, of me they sing and rime. 15 But thee the while, O Lord I pray, that when it pleaseth thee, For thy great truth thou wilt alway send down thine aid to me. 16 Pluck thou my feet out of the mire, from drowning do me keep: From such as owe me wrath and ire, and from the waters deep. 17 Lest with the waves I should be drownd and depth my soul devoure: And that the pit should me confound, and shut me in her power. 18 O Lord of hoasts to me give eare, as thou art good and kind: And as thy mercy is most deare, Lord, have me in thy mind. 19 And do not from thy servant hide, nor turne thy face away: I am opprest on every side, in hast give eare I say. 20 O Lord unto my soul draw nigh, the same with aid repose: Because of their great tyrannie acquit me from my foes. The third Part: 21 That I abide rebuke and shame. thou knowest, and thou canst tell: For those that seek and work the same, thou seest them all full well. 22 When they with brags do break my heart, I seek for help anon: But find no friends to ease my smart to comfort me not one. 23 But in my meat they gave me gall, too cruell for to think: And gave me in my thirst withall, strong vinegar to drink. 24 Lord, turn their table to a snare, to take themselves therein: And when they think full well to fare, then trap them in the gin. 25 And let their eyes be dark and blind, that they may nothing see: Bow down their backs and do them bind in thraldome for to be. 26 Powre out thy wrath as hot as fire, that it on them may fall: Let thy displeasure in thine ire take hold upon them all. 27 As desarts drie their house disgrace, their offspring eke expell: That none thereof possesse their place, nor in their tents once dwell. 28 If thou dost strike a man to tame, on him they lay full sore: And if that thou dost wound the same, they seek to hurt him more. 29 Then let them heap up mischiefs still, (sith they are all pervert) That of thy favour and good will they never have a part. 30 And raze them clean out of thy book of life, of hope, and trust: That for their names they never look in number of the just. The fourth Part: 31 Though I (O Lord) with wo and grief have been full sore opprest Thy help shall give me such relief, that all shall be redrest. 32 That I may give thy Name the praise, and shew it with a song: I will extoll the same alwaies with hearty thanks among. 33 Which is more pleasant unto thee, (such mind thy grace hath born) Than either Ox or Calfe can be: that hath both hoof and horn. 34 When simple folk do this behold, it shall rejoyce them sure, And ye that seek the Lord behold, your life for aye shall dure. 35 For why? the Lord of hoasts shall heare the poore when they complaine: His prispners are to him full deare, he doth them not disdaine. 36 Wherefore the skie and earth belowe the sea with floud and streame, His praises shall declare and shew, with all that live in them. 37 For sure our God will Sion save, and Judaes Cities build: Much folk possession there shall have, her streets shall all be fild. 38 His servants seed shall keep the same. all ages out of mind: 39 And there all they that love his Name, a dwelling place shall find.

My Surety paid the dreadful debt.] [Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered his blood, and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside: His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne.] [My Advocate appears For my defence on high; The Father bows his ears, And lays his thunder by: Not all that hell or sin can say Shall turn his heart, his love away.] [My dear Almighty Lord, My Conqueror and my King! Thy sceptre and thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing: Thine is the power; behold, I sit In willing bonds before thy feet.] [Now let my soul arise, And tread the tempter down; My Captain leads me forth To conquest and a crown: A feeble saint shall win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power, and guardian grace.
