Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 First Line: Lord, I'll thee praise, with all my heart Lyrics: 1 Lord, I'll thee praise with all my heart, Thy wonders all proclaim. 2 I will be glad and joy in thee, Most high I'll sing thy Name. 3 In turning back, my foes they'll fall, And perish at thy sight. 4 For thou maintain'st my right and cause, In throne sitt'st judging right. 5 Thou hast the heathen folk rebuk'd And wicked ones destroy'd; For ever and for evermore Thou hast their name made void. 6 Destructions (O thou foe) are come, To end perpetual: Thou hast 'stroy'd cities, they are gone, With their memorial. 7 Nevertheless Jehovah shall For evermore endure; And unto judgement he his throne Prepared hath most sure. 8 And he the habitable world Shall judge in righteousness; Unto the people judgment give He shall in uprightness. 9 A refuge for oppressed ones Jehovah shall become; A refuge high he is to them In seasons troublesome. 10 They also that do know thy name, In thee will put their trust: For them that do thee seek O Lord, Forsake thou never dost. [2] 11 O sing ye praises to the Lord, That doth in Sion dwell: The deeds also that he hath done Among the people tell. He to remembrance doth them call, When he for blood doth seek; He also never doth forget The crying of the meek. 13 Jehovah mercy on me have From them tat do me hate; Mark mine afflictions that arise, Thou lift'st me from death's gate. 14 That I on Sion's daughters gates Thy praises all my show: And that in thy salvation I may rejoyce also. 15 The heathen are sung down into The pit that they had made: Their foot is taken in the net Which privily they laid. 16 By judgment which he executes, Jehovah is made known: The wicked's snar'd in's handy work, Deep meditation. 17 The wicked shall be turned down Into the burning pit; All nations that the mighty God Continue to forget. 18 Because the needy ones shall not Forgotten be alway? The expectation of the poor For aye shall not decay: 19 O let not wretched man prevail, But O Jehovah rise; The heathen people in thy sight Let judged be likewise. 20 Jehovah do thou put in fear Ev'n ev'ry one of them: That so the nations they may know That they be sorry men. Selah.

Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9 Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts still strong in memory stand to give us hope when evil seems to gain the upper hand. Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love, for wonders new and old: for fire and cloud, for daily food, for mercies yet untold. 2 Though monuments of evil rise in marble, gilt, and stone, time’s search will find their boasts untrue, their makers’ names unknown. Mute avenues of ruins will mark where once proud cities stood, but from destruction God will save the faithful, just, and good. 3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power usurped by mortal pride, deflate the hollow pomp of those whom rank and titles hide. Let not the needy cry unheard, the suffering hope in vain; restore the fallen, bless the meek, till peace and justice reign.

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9:9 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day: A potter, you form us, your people, like clay. A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost. A parent, you love us, not counting the cost. Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands! You labored among us; our God understands! Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed; Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed. Lord, some live among us who need constant care, Whose work is to make us more humbly aware. They teach us the best of your lessons, by far: It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are! We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do, That we, through our serving, may glorify you. Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth. Topics: Call/Vocation; Grace of God; Nation/National Holidays Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

Lord, at thy temple we appear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 9:1-11 Lyrics: Lord, at thy temple we appear, As happy Simeon came, And hope to meet our Savior here; O make our joys the same! With what divine and vast delight The good old man was filled, When fondly in his withered arms He clasped the holy child! "Now I can leave this world," he cried, "Behold, thy servant dies; I've seen thy great salvation, Lord, And close my peaceful eyes. "This is the light prepared to shine Upon the Gentile lands, Thine Isr'el's glory, and their hope To break their slavish bands." [Jesus! the vision of thy face Hath overpowering charms; Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace, If Christ be in my arms. Then while ye hear my heart-strings breuk, How sweet my minutes roll! A mortal paleness on my cheek, And glory in my soul.]
