(A Psalm) of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O let Jehovah blessed be Lyrics: 1 O let JEHOVAH blessed be, who is my rock of might: My hands he teaches how to war, my fingers how to fight. 2 My goodness, fortress, my high tow'r, saviour and shield is He; In whom I trust, and who subdues my people under me. 3 LORD, what is man, that Thou of him should'st any knowledge take; Or son of man, that Thou of him so great account dost make? 4 For man is like to vanity, uncertain here to stay; His days like shades of flying clouds pass hastily away. 5 LORD, bow thy heav'ns above, come down; and with thy thunder's stroke Do Thou but once the mountains touch, and they will rise in smoke. 6 Cast forth thy lightnings, and disperse thine enemies around; And make thy piercing arrows fly, and all their pow'r confound. 7 Thine hand O send Thou from above, redeem and rescue me; From mighty waters, from the hand of strangers set me free. 8 Whose evil mouths are wont to speak falshood and vanity; And whose right hand a right hand is of fraud and perfidy. [2 Part] 9 O God, new songs I'll sing to Thee, upon the psaltery; And on a ten-string'd instrument to Thee sing praise will I. 10 It is He only who to kings salvation doth afford; And who his servant David saves from the destroying sword. 11 Free me from bands of strangers sons, whose mouths speak vanity. And whose right hand a right hand is of fraud and perfidy. 12 But let our sons in youthful age as thriving plants appear; Daughters like polish'd corner stones which grace a palace fair. 13 That to afford all kinds of stores, our garners may be fill'd; Our cattle thousands in our streets, yea may ten thousands yield. 14 Our oxen for their labour strong; no enemy invade; No leading captive; no complaint in all our streets be made. 15 O happy people they, who are in such a case as this; But far more happy people they whose God JEHOVAH is. Scripture: Psalm 144

A Prayer of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, bow down thine ear Lyrics: 1 O Lord, bow down thine ear, and hearken to my cry; For poor and wholly destitute of other help am I. 2 Preserve my soul, for I devoted am to Thee; My God, thy servant save, who makes his trust in Thee his plea. 3 O Lord be merciful to me, I earnest pray; Because I cry to Thee alone, importunate all day. 4 Rejoyce thy servant's soul, for I to Thee, O Lord, Lift up my troubled soul, in hope that Thou wilt help afford. 5 For Thou, O Lord, art good; to pardon fully free; Yea in thy mercy rich art Thou, to all who call on Thee. 6 JEHOVAH to my cry O give a gracious ear; and to my supplications voice attend, and kindly hear. 7 In days of my distress I will to Thee complain; Because I surely know that Thou, wilt answer me again. 8 Among the GODS, O Lord, not one is like to Thee; Nor any works that to thy works, may once compared be. [2 Part] 9 The nations, all, O Lord, whom thy great pow'r did frame, Shall come before and bow to Thee, and glorify thy name. 10 For Thou art high and great; the things that Thou hast done, Are truly marvellous and show, that Thou art GOD alone. 11 Teach me thy way of truth, and I will walk the same; And LORD, to Thee unite my heart, that I may fear thy name. 12 O Lord my God, Thee praise, with all my heart will I; Yea constantly and evermore, thy name will glorify. 13 Because thy mercy is exceeding great to me; And from the grave and lowest hell, Thou hast my soul set free. [3 Part] 14 O GOD, the violent and proud in troops arise Against me, and they seek my soul, nor have Thee in their eyes. 15 But Lord, Thou art a God compassionate and kind; Long-suff'ring Thou, and in thy truth, and mercy unconfin'd. 16 O turn to me thy face, to me be mercy shown, They strength, O, to thy servant give, and save thine handmaid's son. 17 Shew me a sign for good, and let my haters see And be asham'd, because Thou LORD, dost help and comfort me Scripture: Psalm 86

A Psalm of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush the Benjamite

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord my God, I wholly place Lyrics: 1 O LORD my God, I wholly place my confidence in Thee: Form all my persecuting foes, save and deliver me. 2 Lest like to rending lions they my soul in pieces tare; And when they tare, to rescue me there should not one appear. 3 O thou JEHOVAH, O my God, if this thing done have I; If in these hands of mine there be wrongful iniquity; 4 If I have rendred ill to him who was at peace with me; (Yea rather I released have my causeless enemy;) 5 Then let the foe pursue my soul, and seize it as a prey; Let him my life tread to the earth, in dust my honour lay. (Selah) 6 LORD, rise in wrath; left up thy self; my raging foes withstand; Wake for me to the judgment thou dost rightfully command. 7 So the great congregation shall encompass thee with joy; O therefore for their sake return, to thy bright seat on high. 8 The LORD will all the people judge: JEHOVAH judge thou me According to my righteousness,* and mine integrity. [2 Part] 9 Let end the wicked's wickedness, but the just ratify, Because O thou the righteous GOD the hearts and reins dost try. 10 In GOD is my defence, who saves the right in heart and way: 11 But GOD the righteous judge is wroth, with sinners ev'ry day. 12 Unless that turning they repent, his sword he sharp will whet; Yea has already bent his bow, and has it ready set. 13 Against the persecutors made his arrows ready hath; He ready has prepar'd for them the instruments of death. 14 Behold they travail as in birth with vain iniquity: Behold how mischief they conceive, and then bring forth a lie. He dig'd a pit, and dig'd it deep, the innocent to take; But he is fall'n into the pit, which he himself did make. 16 Return on his mischievous head his mischief surely shall; And on his crown, his violence in righteousness shall fall. 17 According to his righteousness, JEHOVAH praise will I; And to his name a psalm I'll sing, who is the LORD most high. Scripture: Psalm 7

A Prayer of the afflicted when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his Complaint before the LORD

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, now hear my mournful prayer Lyrics: 1 O LORD, now hear my mournful pray'r, And let my cry come up to Thee! 2 In this the day of my distress, Hide not thy face away from me: Thine ear to me, O do Thou bend, In this my time of pressing need, Wherein I cry aloud to Thee: O hear and answer me with speed! 3 For as the smoke my days consume, My bones burnt like an hearth decay; 4 My heart with sorrow smitten is And with'red like the grass away. So swallow'd up with grief am I, That I my bread forget to taste. 5 By reason of my groaning voice My bones ev'n to my skin cleave fast. 6 I'm like a mourning pelican, In the sad wilderness alone; Or bittern in a desart place, Who nightly makes a dismal moan. 7 I keep awake all night and am Like to a sparrow all alone, That on the house-top watching sits, And for her company hath none. 8 All day my foe reproaches me, And mad with rage, against me swears; 9 That for my bread I ashes eat, And mix my drink with streaming tears. 10 Thine anger is the cause of all, Thy wrath which on me dreadful frown'd; For Thou didst raise me up aloft, And now hast cast me to the ground. [2 Part] 11 Like shadows are my days declin'd; And like the wither'd grass I fall: 12 But LORD, Thou ever dost abide, Thy memory to ages all. 13 Thou wilt arise; to Zion dear Wilt now thy tender mercy show; For now tis time to favour her. Yea the appointed time is Now. 14 For in the very stones thereof Thy servants take a great delight, And even her despised dust Is ever precious in their sight. 15 So all the heathen nations round, Shall fear JEBOVAH's holy name; And all the Kings on earth shall see Thy glory, and revere the same. 16 For when the LORD shall Zion build, He in his glory will appear; 17 The poor's petition He'll regard, And He will not despise their pray'r. 18 This shall in writ enrolled be, For every succeeding race; That so the people to be form'd Th' eternal JAH may ever praise. 19 From heav'n his height of holiness, The LORD looks down on earth to see, 20 To hear the prisoners dismal groans, And the bound sons of death to free; 21 JEHOVAH's name in Zion-hill, His praise in Salem to declare; 22 When people meet to serve the LORD, And kingdoms to adore Him there. [3 Part] 23 Weak in the way my strength He made, And of my life cut short the day. 24 In midst of my few days, I cry'd, My God, O take me not away. Thy years thro'out all ages stay: 25 Thou hast the earth's foundations laid In elder time: and heav'ns above Are works that thine own hands have made. 26 They perish shall: but Thou shalt last, And they shall old like garments wear: Thou as a vesture shalt them change, And they shall changed quite appear. 27 But Thou the same abidest still, And of thy years no end shall be; 28 Thy servants race continue shall, Their seed establish'd be with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 102

A Psalm of David

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Lord our Lord, in all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth how does thy name excel! Who high above the heav'ns hast set thy majesty to dwell. 2 From mouths of babes and sucklings thou dost pow'r and praise ordain; That thou may'st still thine enemies, and spiteful foes restrain. 3 When I thy glorious heav'ns behold, thy fingers work divine, The moon and stars which thou hast set in order as they shine; 4 O what is wretched man that thou shouldst have him in thy mind, And Adam's son, that thou should'st be to visit him so kind? 5 For than the Angels thou hast him but little lower made; With glory and with majesty thou crowned hast his head. 6 To Him dominion Thou hast giv'n over thy works below; Under his feet hast put them all, to him hast made them bow. 7 Both all the tamer flocks and herds, wild beasts that range more free, 8 Swift in the air the fowls that flie, and fishes of the sea. 9 Yea those that make great paths along the sea, and pass the same* O LORD, our Lord, in all the earth, how excellent thy name! Scripture: Psalm 8

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, rebuke me not in wrath Lyrics: 1 O Lord, rebuke me not in wrath, Nor in thine anger chasten me: 2 LORD, pity; I am weak: Lord heal; My bones are vex'd exceedingly. 3 My soul is also in distress: How long delay, LORD, wilt Thou make? 4 Return, O LORD; my soul relieve; O save me for thy mercies sake. 5 Shall the dead praise Thee in the grave? Of Thee no mem'ry there have they. 6 I'm tir'd with groans: by night my bed With tears swims, and my couch by day. 7 Mine eye consum'd with grief grows old, Because of all mine enemies: 8 But now depart away from me, All ye who work iniquities; Because JEHOVAH now hath heard The voice of my lamenting tears: 9 The LORD hath heard my humble suit, JEHOVAH will accept my pray'rs. 10 Let all my foes be put to shame, And greatly troubled let them be. Yea let them be returned back, And made ashamed speedily.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, to thee I call aloud Lyrics: 1 O Lord, to Thee I call aloud! O make Thou haste to me: And hearken to my earnest voice, Now while I cry to Thee! 2 O let my pray'r before thy face as fragrant incense rise; The lifting of my hands accept as ev'ning sacrifice. 3 O let a constant watch before my hasty mouth, O LORD; And of my lips keep Thou the door. against each evil word. 4 Let not my heart incline to ill; nor let me ever share With evil men in evil deeds; nor on their dainties fare. 5 Me, let the righteous kindly smite, and that I'll kindly take; Their just reproofs shall fail so soft, My head they shall not break. But as an oyl of great esteem, I shall it highly prize; And in requital pray for them in their calamities. 6 And when by judges they shall be in stony places cast; My kind words they shall hear, and they shall sweet be to their taste. 7 About the grave's wide open mouth, our bones are scatter'd round, As wood, which hewers cut and cleave, lies scatter'd on the ground. 8 But O JEHOVAH, Lord, to Thee directed are mine eyes: My soul, O leave not destitute, On thee my hope relies. 9 O keep me from the hands of those who snares have laid for me; And from the secret nets of those who work iniquity. 10 Into the nets which they have set shall the ungodly fall; While I, for whom they were prepar'd, pass and escape them all. Scripture: Psalm 141
