O LORD, Our Lord
Author: Morris Lynwood Smith Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs #26 (2012) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Psalm 17:5-7 First Line: O LORD, our Lord, how excellent and mighty Languages: English Tune Title: STAFFORD
O LORD, Our Lord
To my just Plea, and sad Complaint
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #XVII (1760) 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 Loin 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. Languages: English

LORD, Listen to My Righteous Plea
To my just plea, and sad complaint
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #17 (1789) 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 and prov'd each part,
And watch'd me day and night;
And thou hast seen my tongue and heart
Have aim'd at what was right.
4 Concerning all the works of men,
Thou know's my heart, O Lord
How true and faithful I have been
According to thy word.
5 Hold up my goings in thy path,
Nor let my footsteps slide:
O Lord, my God, ev'n unto death
Be thou my constant guide.
Part II.
6 Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love;
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword, the hand is thine.
7 Their hope and portion lies below;
’Tis all the happiness they know,
’Tis all they seek; they take their shares;
And leave the rest among their heirs.
8 What sinners value, I resign;
Lord, ’tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
9 This life’s a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world, to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake and find me there?
10 O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near and like my God;
And flesh and sin no more controul
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
11 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound;
Then burst the chains in sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour’s image rise. Languages: English
