How Blest Are They Who, Fearing God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who, fearing God, from sin restrain their feet, who will not with the wicked stand, who shun the scorner's seat. 2 How blest are they who make God's law their treasure and delight, and meditate upon that word with gladness day and night. 3 Their lives are nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, so all their works abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are blown across the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgment stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well; their way to him is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

Show mercy, Lord, to me, for man

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shew mercy, Lord, to me, for man would swallow me outright; he me oppresseth, while he doth against me daily fight. 2 All day they would me swallow up who hate me spitefully; for they be many that do fight against me, O Most High. 3 When I’m afraid I’ll trust in thee: 4 in God I’ll praise his word; I will not fear what flesh can do, my trust is in the Lord. 5 All day they wrest my words; their thoughts ’gainst me are all for ill. 6 They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps, waiting; my soul to kill. 7 But shall they by iniquity escape thy judgments so? O God, with indignation down do thou the people throw. 8 Thou tellest all my wanderings, not one dost overlook; into thy bottle put my tears: are they not in thy book? 9 My foes shall, when I cry, turn back; I know God is for me. 10 In God his word I’ll praise; his word in God shall praised be. 11 In God I trust; I will not fear what man can do to me. 12 Thy vows upon me are, O God: I’ll render praise to thee. 13 Thou, who from death didst save my soul, my feet from falling free, to walk before God in the light of those that living be.

Are All the Foes of Sion Fools?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: Are all the foes of Sion fools Lyrics: 1 Are all the foes of Sion fools, Who thus devour her saints? Do they not know her Savior rules, And pities her complaints? 2 They shall be seized with sad surprise; For God’s revenging arm Scatters the bones of them that rise To do His children harm. 3 In vain the sons of Satan boast Of armies in array; When God has first despised their host They fall an easy prey. 4 O for a word from Zion’s king, Her captives to restore! Jacob with all his tribes shall sing, And Judah weep no more. Used With Tune: SONG 67 (Gibbons) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
