Psalm 49: Hear this, all people, and give ear

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P52 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hear this, all people, and give ear Lyrics: 1Hear this, all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell; 2Both low and high, both rich and poor. 3My mouth shall wisdom tell: My heart shall knowledge meditate. 4I will incline mine ear To parables, and on the harp my sayings dark declare. 5Amidst those days that evil be, why should I, fearing, doubt? When of my heels th’ iniquity shall compass me about. 6Whoe’er they be that in their wealth their confidence do pitch, And boast themselves, because they are become exceeding rich: 7Yet none of these his brother can redeem by any way; Nor can he unto God for him sufficient ransom pay, 8(Their soul’s redemption precious is, and it can never be,) 9That still he should for ever live, and not corruption see. 10For why? he seeth that wise men die, and brutish fools also Do perish; and their wealth, when dead, to others they let go. 11Their inward thought is, that their house and dwelling-places shall Stand through all ages; they their lands by their own names do call. 12But yet in honour shall not man abide continually; But passing hence, may be compar’d unto the beasts that die. 13Thus brutish folly plainly is their wisdom and their way; Yet their posterity approve what they do fondly say. 14Like sheep they in the grave are laid, and death shall them devour; And in the morning upright men shall over them have pow’r: Their beauty from their dwelling shall consume within the grave. 15But from hell’s hand God will me free, for he shall me receive. 16Be thou not then afraid when one enriched thou dost see, Nor when the glory of his house advanced is on high: 17For he shall carry nothing hence when death his days doth end; Nor shall his glory after him into the grave descend. 18Although he his own soul did bless whilst he on earth did live; (And when thou to thyself dost well, men will thee praises give;) 19He to his fathers’ race shall go, they never shall see light. 20Man honour’d wanting knowledge is like beasts that perish quite.

Psalm 50: The mighty God, the Lord

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P53 (1800) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The mighty God, the Lord Lyrics: 1The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken, and did call The earth, from rising of the sun, to where he hath his fall. 2From out of Sion hill, which of excellency And beauty the perfection is, God shined gloriously. 3Our God shall surely come, keep silence shall not he: Before him fire shall waste, great storms shall round about him be. 4Unto the heavens clear he from above shall call, And to the earth likewise, that he may judge his people all. 5Together let my saints unto me gather’d be, Those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare: Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are. 7My people Isr’el hear, speak will I from on high, Against thee I will testify; God, ev’n thy God, am I. 8I for thy sacrifice no blame will on thee lay, Nor for burnt-off ‘rings, which to me thou offer’dst ev’ry day. 9I’ll take no calf nor goats from house or fold of thine: 10For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11The fowls on mountains high are all to me well known; Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, ev’n they are all mine own. 12Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee; Because the world, and fulness all thereof, belongs to me. 13Will I eat flesh of bulls? or goats’ blood drink will I? 14Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the most High. 15And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16But to the wicked man God saith, My laws and truth Should’st thou declare? how dar’st thou take my cov’nant in thy mouth? 17Sith thou instruction hat’st, which should thy ways direct; And sith my words behind thy back thou cast’st, and dost reject. 18When thou a thief didst see, with him thou didst consent; And with the vile adulterers partaker on thou went. 19Thou giv’st thy mouth to ill, thy tongue deceit doth frame; 20Thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st, thy mother’s son dost shame. 21Because I silence kept, while thou these things hast wrought; That I was altogether like thyself, hath been thy thought; Yet I will thee reprove, and set before thine eyes, In order ranked, thy misdeeds and thine iniquities. 22Now, ye that God forget, this carefully consider; Lest I in pieces tear you all, and none can you deliver. 23Whoso doth offer praise me glorifies; and I Will shew him God’s salvation, that orders right his way.

Psalm 50: The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P54 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke Lyrics: 1The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke, and call’d the earth upon, Ev’n from the rising of the sun unto his going down. 2From out of Sion, his own hill, where the perfection high Of beauty is, from thence the Lord hath shined gloriously. 3Our God shall come, and shall no more be silent, but speak out: Before him fire shall waste, great storms shall compass him about. 4He to the heavens from above, and to the earth below, Shall call, that he his judgments may before his people show. 5Let all my saints together be unto me gathered; Those that by sacrifice with me a covenant have made. 6And then the heavens shall declare his righteousness abroad: Because the Lord himself doth come; none else is judge but God. 7Hear, O my people, and I’ll speak; O Israel by name, Against thee I will testify; God, ev’n thy God, I am. 8I for thy sacrifices few reprove thee never will, Nor for burnt-off ‘rings to have been before me offer’d still. 9I’ll take no bullock nor he-goats from house nor folds of thine: 10For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11The fowls are all to me well known that mountains high do yield; And I do challenge as mine own the wild beasts of the field. 12If I were hungry, I would not to thee for need complain; For earth, and all its fulness, doth to me of right pertain. 13That I to eat the flesh of bulls take pleasure dost thou think? Or that I need, to quench my thirst, the blood of goats to drink? 14Nay, rather unto me, thy God, thanksgiving offer thou: To the most High perform thy word, and fully pay thy vow: 15And in the day of trouble great see that thou call on me; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16But God unto the wicked saith, Why should’st thou mention make Of my commands? how dar’st thou in thy mouth my cov’nant take? 17Sith it is so that thou dost hate all good instruction; And sith thou cast’st behind thy back, and slight’st my words each one. 18When thou a thief didst see, then straight thou join’dst with him in sin, And with the vile adulterers thou hast partaker been. 19Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, thy tongue deceit doth frame. 20Thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st, thy mother’s son to shame. 21These things thou wickedly hast done, and I have silent been: Thou thought’st that I was like thyself, and did approve thy sin: But I will sharply thee reprove, and I will order right Thy sins and thy transgressions in presence of thy sight. 22Consider this, and be afraid, ye that forget the Lord, Lest I in pieces tear you all, when none can help afford. 23Who off’reth praise me glorifies: I will shew God’s salvation To him that ordereth aright his life and conversation.

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P55 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: After thy loving-kindness, Lord Lyrics: 1After thy loving-kindness, Lord, have mercy upon me: For thy compassions great, blot out all mine iniquity. 2Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash from mine iniquity: 3For my transgressions I confess; my sin I ever see. 4’Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn’d, in thy sight done this ill; That when thou speak’st thou may’st be just, and clear in judging still. 5Behold, I in iniquity was form’d the womb within; My mother also me conceiv’d in guiltiness and sin. 6Behold, thou in the inward parts with truth delighted art; And wisdom thou shalt make me know within the hidden part. 7Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, I shall be cleansed so; Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall be whiter than the snow. 8Of gladness and of joyfulness make me to hear the voice; That so these very bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9All mine iniquities blot out, thy face hide from my sin. 10Create a clean heart, Lord, renew a right sp’rit me within. 11Cast me not from thy sight, nor take thy Holy Sp’rit away. 12Restore me thy salvation’s joy; with thy free Sp’rit me stay. 13Then will I teach thy ways unto those that transgressors be; And those that sinners are shall then be turned unto thee. 14O God, of my salvation God, me from blood-guiltiness Set free; then shall my tongue aloud sing of thy righteousness. 15My closed lips, O Lord, by thee let them be opened; Then shall thy praises by my mouth abroad be published. 16For thou desir’st not sacrifice, else would I give it thee; Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering at all delighted be. 17A broken spirit is to God a pleasing sacrifice: A broken and a contrite heart, Lord, thou wilt not despise. 18Shew kindness, and do good, O Lord, to Sion, thine own hill: The walls of thy Jerusalem build up of thy good will. 19Then righteous off ‘rings shall thee please, and off ‘rings burnt, which they With whole burnt-off ‘rings, and with calves, shall on thine altar lay.

Psalm 52: Why dost thou boast, O mighty man

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P56 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why dost thou boast, O mighty man Lyrics: 1Why dost thou boast, O mighty man, of mischief and of ill? The goodness of Almighty God endureth ever still. 2Thy tongue mischievous calumnies deviseth subtilely, Like to a razor sharp to cut, working deceitfully. 3Ill more than good, and more than truth thou lovest to speak wrong: 4Thou lovest all-devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 5So God shall thee destroy for aye, remove thee, pluck thee out Quite from thy house, out of the land of life he shall thee root. 6The righteous shall it see, and fear, and laugh at him they shall: 7Lo, this the man is that did not make God his strength at all: But he in his abundant wealth his confidence did place; And he took strength unto himself from his own wickedness. 8But I am in the house of God like to an olive green: My confidence for ever hath upon God’s mercy been. 9And I for ever will thee praise, because thou hast done this: I on thy name will wait; for good before thy saints it is.

Psalm 53: That there is not a God, the fool

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P57 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: That there is not a God, the fool Lyrics: 1That there is not a God, the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile, not one of them doth good. 2The Lord upon the sons of men from heav’n did cast his eyes, To see if any one there was that sought God, and was wise. 3They altogether filthy are, they all are backward gone; And there is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one. 4These workers of iniquity, do they not know at all, That they my people eat as bread, and on God do not call? 5Ev’n there they were afraid, and stood with trembling, all dismay’d, Whereas there was no cause at all why they should be afraid: For God his bones that thee besieg’d hath scatter’d all abroad; Thou hast confounded them, for they despised are of God. 6Let Isr’el’s help from Sion come: when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing. Scripture: Psalm 53 Languages: English

Psalm 54: Save me, O God, by thy great name

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P58 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Save me, O God, by thy great name Lyrics: 1Save me, O God, by thy great name, and judge me by thy strength: 2My prayer hear, O God; give ear unto my words at length. 3For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise; Oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes. 4The Lord my God my helper is, lo, therefore I am bold: He taketh part with ev’ry one that doth my soul uphold. 5Unto mine enemies he shall mischief and ill repay: O for thy truth’s sake cut them off, and sweep them clean away. 6I will a sacrifice to thee give with free willingness; Thy name, O Lord, because ‘tis good, with praise I will confess. 7For he hath me delivered from all adversities; And his desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies. Scripture: Psalm 54 Languages: English

Psalm 55: Lord, hear my pray'r, hide not thyself

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P59 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, hear my pray'r, hide not thyself Lyrics: 1Lord, hear my pray’r, hide not thyself from my entreating voice: 2Attend and hear me; in my plaint I mourn and make a noise. 3Because of th’ en’my’s voice, and for lewd men’s oppression great: On me they cast iniquity, and they in wrath me hate. 4Sore pain’d within me is my heart: death’s terrors on me fall. 5On me comes trembling, fear and dread o’erwhelmed me withal. 6O that I, like a dove, had wings, said I, then would I flee Far hence, that I might find a place where I in rest might be. 7Lo, then far off I wander would, and in the desert stay; 8From windy storm and tempest I would haste to ‘scape away. 9O Lord, on them destruction bring, and do their tongues divide; For in the city violence and strife I have espy’d. 10They day and night upon the walls do go about it round: There mischief is, and sorrow there in midst of it is found. 11Abundant wickedness there is within her inward part; And from her streets deceitfulness and guile do not depart. 12He was no foe that me reproach’d, then that endure I could; Nor hater that did ‘gainst me boast, from him me hide I would. 13But thou, man, who mine equal, guide, and mine acquaintance wast: 14We join’d sweet counsels, to God’s house in company we past. 15Let death upon them seize, and down let them go quick to hell; For wickedness doth much abound among them where they dwell. 16I’ll call on God: God will me save. 17I’ll pray, and make a noise At ev’ning, morning, and at noon; and he shall hear my voice. 18He hath my soul delivered, that it in peace might be From battle that against me was; for many were with me. 19The Lord shall hear, and them afflict, of old who hath abode: Because they never changes have, therefore they fear not God. 20’Gainst those that were at peace with him he hath put forth his hand: The covenant that he had made, by breaking he profan’d. 21More smooth than butter were his words, while in his heart was war; His speeches were more soft than oil, and yet drawn swords they are. 22Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain; Yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain. 23But thou, O Lord my God, those men in justice shalt o’erthrow, And in destruction’s dungeon dark at last shalt lay them low: The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days: But upon thee with confidence I will depend always. Scripture: Psalm 55 Languages: English

Psalm 56: Shew mercy, Lord, to me, for man

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #P60 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Shew mercy, Lord, to me, for man Lyrics: 1Shew mercy, Lord, to me, for man would swallow me outright; He me oppresseth, while he doth against me daily fight. 2They daily would me swallow up that hate me spitefully; For they be many that do fight against me, O most High. 3When I’m afraid I’ll trust in thee: 4In God I’ll praise his word; I will not fear what flesh can do, my trust is in the Lord. 5Each day they wrest my words; their thoughts ’gainst me are all for ill. 6They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps, waiting my soul to kill. 7But shall they by iniquity escape thy judgments so? O God, with indignation down do thou the people throw. 8My wand’rings all what they have been thou know’st, their number took; Into thy bottle put my tears: are they not in thy book? 9My foes shall, when I cry, turn back; I know’t, God is for me. 10In God his word I’ll praise; his word in God shall praised be. 11In God I trust; I will not fear what man can do to me. 12Thy vows upon me are, O God: I’ll render praise to thee. 13Wilt thou not, who from death me sav’d, my feet from falls keep free, To walk before God in the light of those that living be? Scripture: Psalm 56 Languages: English
