To my just Plea and sad Complaint
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 To my just Plea and sad Complaint,
Attend, O righteous LORD!
And to my Pray'r, which is unfeign'd,
A gracious Ear afford.
As thou my Ways hast seen,
And I have upright been,
So let my righteous Sentence be;
For I resign my Cause to thee.
2 Thou, LORD, hast search'd my Heart by Day,
And visited by Night;
And on the strictest Trial found
Its secret Motions right;
Nor shalt thou only find
My Heart to Good inclin'd,
For I have purpos'd that my Tongue
Shall be restrain'd and speak no Wrong.
3 I know what wicked Men would do,
Their Safety to maintain;
But me thy just and mild Commands,
From bloody Paths restrain.
That from thy righteous Way
My Soul may never stray;
Do thou my Innocence secure,
And make my Footsteps ever sure.
4 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 Love
Let me, thy Servant prove,
Thou whose Right-hand doth oft engage,
To quell the bold Oppressor's Rage.
5 Oh! keep me in thy tend'rest Care!
Thy shelt'ring Wing stretch out,
To guard me safe from savage Foes,
That compass me about.
Their wicked Tongues blaspheme,
O LORD! thy holy Name,
Enclos'd in their own Fat they lie,
And GOD, and Man, at once defy.
61 Well may they boast, for they have now
Encompass'd me around,
Their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd
And couching on the Ground:
In Treach'ry they engage,
Or, like the Lion rage,
When greedy searching for his Prey,
He lurks within a Covert Way.
7 Arise, O LORD! defeat their Plots,
Their swelling Rage controul:
From wicked Men, who are thy Sword,
Deliver thou my Soul:
From Men who still employ
Their Thoughts in worldly Joy;
Who find their Portion's here below,
And seek no higher Bliss to know.
8 Their Race is num'rous, that partake
Their Substance while they live;
Their Heirs survive, to whom they may
The vast Remainder give.
But in thy heav'nly Grace,
I'll seek thy glorious Face,
And when I 'wake, with Joy shall find,
Thy Image dwelling in my Mind.

Lord, Bend Your Ear
Do thou, just God, a just man's pray'r attend
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 Do thou, just God, a just man's pray'r attend;
O listen to the cry that comes unfeign'd;
2 At thy tribunal David asks redress,
With pitying eye behold his sad distress.
3 Oft hast thou prov'd me in the silent night,
And found the purpose of my heart was right;
Oft view'd my secret soul, and found, in nought
My tongue e'ar differ'd from my inmost thought.
4 Thy word my rule, and govern'd by thy fear;
I from the works of impious men kept clear.
5 O still preserve me in the path I've trod;
O let me firmly tread, all-gracious God.
6 Thee have I oft invok'd, for thou wilt hear;
List, while I plead; incline thy gracious ear:
7 Shew me thy mercy, thou, whose potent arm
Defends the soul, that trusts in thee, from harm.
8 Thy wings protectful o'er my steps extend;
Me, as the apple of the eye, defend
9 From that abandon'd crew, my peace that wound;
From those my foes, that compass me around;
10 Who, with their wealth elate, forget their God,
And in their guilt are insolently proud.
11 In ev'ry secret place they lay the snare;
And 'gainst my life their wily schemes prepare:
12 Like to the lion, that expects his prey,
Or like his whelp, they keep my soul at bay.
13 Arise, O Lord; confound their villainy;
From their destructive toils thy servant free;
14 Thy sword they are; thy wisdom lets them reign;
Thou giv'st them here a wide, a large domain,
In wealth they flow, and, when they breathe no more,
Their num'rous sons possess their shining store.
15 For me, by innocence of heart I'll strive
Still in thy favour, in thy light, to live;
Enough, O gracious God, enough for me
To view in bliis thy glorious majesty.
Do thou, just God, a just man's pray'r attend

When the tempests round me roll.

To tempt my poor soul from my Savior to roam;
Oh, let thy sweet spirit remain in my heart,
My tower, my fortress, dear Savior, thou art. [Refrain]

Tho’ dangers surrounding, sustain me and guide,
And take me to rest with thy people at last,
When life’s sun is set, and the storms are all past. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Oh, hide me, dear Savior, when wild tempests blow]
