Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O God, Thou hast deserted us Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou hast deserted us, and scatter'd in disdain! Thou hast been awfully displeas'd! O turn to us again. 2 The land to tremble thou hast caus'd; didst it asunder break! O now the breaches of it heal; for it doth greatly shake! 3 Thou hast thy people made to see things that are hard to bear! And thou hast caused us to drink the wine of trembling fear! 4 But thou a banner hast bestow'd on those who Thee revere, That it on high before the truth Displayed may appear. (Selah.) 5 That thy beloved people may a full deliv'rance have; O hear the fervent pray'rs I make And let thy right hand save! 6 GOD in his holiness hath spoke; my joy therein is high; Shechem divide, and Succoth's vale measure for mine will I; 7 Gilead is mine, Manasseh mine, who doth espouse my cause; Ephraim is of my strength the head, and Judah gives my laws. 8 Moab my washpot* I will make, o'er Edom cast my shoe: And ye Philistia's haughty tribes, I'll triumph over you. 9 Who will me to the city lead so strongly fortify'd? And who is he that to the land of Edom will me guide? 10 Didst thou not cast us off, O GOD? yet still we look to thee: Wilt thou not with our armies go? and GOD our leader be? 11 O then to us in our distress thy speedy sucoour send! For vain it is on humane aid for safety to depend. 12 But by the helping pow'r of GOD we shall do valiantly; And He'll our foes tread down, and make beneath our feet to lie. Scripture: Psalm 60

Yea in the shadow of thy wings My refuge I have plac'd. Until these great calamities be wholly overpast. 2 I'll cry aloud to GOD most high, till heard my cry shall be; Ev'n to the God who still performs all things most fit for me. 3 From heav'n will He send down, and me from their reproach defend, Who wou'd defour me: GOD will forth His truth and mercy send. 4 My soul amidst fierce lions is: I fire-brands lie among; Men's sons whose teeth are darts and spears, and like sharp swords their tongue. 5 Above the lofty heav'ns do Thou exalt thy self O GOD: O let thy glory be advanc'd o'er all the earth abroad. [2 Part] 6 They for my steps prepar'd a net, My soul wass bowed down; They dig'd a pit for me, but they In midst thereof are thrown. (Selah) 7 My heart fix'd, my heart is fix'd; O GOD, I'll sing and praise: 8 Awake my glory, psalt'ry, harp, my self I'll early raise. 9 Thy praise, O Lord, will I proclaim among the people round: Among the nations I with songs thy praises will resound. 10 For great thy rising mercy spreads ev'n to the heav'ns on high; And equally thy truth extends up to the cloudy sky. 11 Above the heav'ns high do Thou exalt thy self O GOD: And let thy glory be advanc'd o'er all the earth abroad.

(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 Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord, my Rock, to thee I cry Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my rock, to Thee I cry; Be not Thou silent then to me; Lest by thy silence, I like them Descending to the pit should be. 2 Of my intreaties hear the voice, while to Thee loud for help I cry; While I lift up my hands towards Thine oracle of sanctity. 3 With ill men draw me not away, With workers of unrighteousness; who peace to all their neighbours speak, But in their heart is wickedness. 4 Thou wilt reward them for their deeds, According to their ill intents; According to their handy-works, Thou wilt them justly recompence. 5 Since they JEHOVAH's wonders slight, And working of his hand disdain; He will them righteously destroy, And will not build them up again. 6 The LORD be bless'd; for He hat heard The voice of my imploring cry: The LORD my strength, my shield; on Him My heart rely'd, and help'd was I. Therefore my heart exults with joy, And with my song I'll Him confess. 7 JEHOVAH is his people's strength, The strength of his MESSIAH is. 8 Salvation to thy people give; and bless Thou thine inheritance; Yea even to eternity Do Thou them feed and them advance. [This Verse in common Metre.] 8 Salvation to thy people give; bless thine inheritance; And even to eternity them feed and them advance. Scripture: Psalm 27

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
