To my just Plea, and sad Complaint

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 To my just Plea, and sad Complaint, attend, O righteous Lord, And to my Pray'r, as 'tis unfeign'd, a gracious Ear afford. 2 As in thy Sight I am approv'd, so let my Sentence be; And with impartial Eyes, O Lord, my upright Dealing see. 3 For thou hast search'd my Heart by Day, and visited by Night; And, on the strictest Trial, found its secret Motions right. Nor shall thy Justice, Lord, alone my Heart's Designs acquit; For I have purpos'd, that my tongue shall no Offence commit. 4 I know what wicked Men would do, their Safety to maintain; But me thy just and mild Commands from bloody Paths restrain. 5 That I may still, in spite of Wrongs, my Innocence secure, O, guide me in thy righteous Ways, and make my Footsteps sure. 6 Since heretofore I ne'er in vain to Thee my Pray'r address'd; O! now, my God, incline thine Ear to this my just Request. The Wonders of thy Truth and Love in my Defence engage, Thou whose Right-hand preserves thy Saints from their Oppressors Rage. Part II 8.9 O! keep me in thy tend'rest Care; Thy sheltring wings stretch out, To guard me safe from savage Foes, that compass me about; 10 O'ergrown with Luxury, inclos'd in their own Fat they lie; And with a proud blaspheming Mouth both God and Man defie. 11 Well may they boast; for they have now my Paths encompass'd round; their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd and couching on the Ground. 12 In Posture of a Lion set, when greedy of his Prey; Or a young Lion, when he lurks within a covert Way. 13 Arise, O Lord, defeat their Plots, their swelling Rage controul: From wicked Men, who are thy Sword, deliver thou my soul: 14 From worldly Men, thy sharpest Scourge, whose Portion's here below; who, fill'd with earthly Stores, aspire no other Bliss to know. 15 Their Race is num'rous, that partake their Substance while they live; Their Heirs survive, to whom they may the vast Remainder give. 16 But I, in Uprightness, thy Face shall view without Controul; And, waking, shall its Image find reflected in my Soul.

Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store; The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more.

There's a new heav'n begun, When I awake from death, Dressed in the likeness of thy Son, And draw immortal breath.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Jehovah hearken to the right Lyrics: 1 Jehovah hearken to the right, attend to my loud cry; And hear my pray'r that cometh forth from lips that do not lie. 2 O from thy presence let there come, a just decree to me: And let thy just and holy eyes, things that are equal see. My HEART thou searched hast by day, and visited by night: Thou hast me in a furnace try'd, and found my heart is right. 3 As for my MOUTH; as I resolv'd my words should not transgress, Thy righteous laws which guide the tongue; I kept my purposes. 4 And as for WORKS of men; thy word hath me directed so, That I observ'd and shun'd the paths wherein destroyers go. 5 My goings in thy narrow paths do thou uphold and guide; That so my footsteps thus secur'd may never turn aside. 6 On Thee I called have, O God, because Thou wilt me hear; O now incline thine ear to me, and hear my humble pray'r. [2 Part] 7 O shew thy wondrous grace on them whose trust on thee relies: Who sav'st by thy right hand from those who up against them rise. 8 O keep me now as thou wouldst keep the apple of thine eye; Under the shadow of thy wings hide me continually. 9 From all the threat'ning faces of the wicked who me waste, And from my deadly enemies, who me around invest. 10 In their gross fat thy are enclos'd, boast with their mouths likewise; 11 In all our steps they compass us; to earth they bow their eyes. 12 They like a roaring lion are, who greedy is for prey; Like a young lion watching in his secret place, are they. 13 But LORD arise, his face prevent; O make him down to bow; And from the wicked one, thy sword, my soul deliver thou. 14 From mortal men thy hand, O LORD, from mortal men me save, Who in this transient time of life their only portion have. Thy hidden stores their bellies fill, and filled are their sons; And all the rest they save and leave to their young little ones. 15 But I in righteousness thy face with joy shall clearly see; And waking with thine image, I shall satisfied be.
