Unto the Lord God with my voice

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Unto the Lord God with my voice I did send out my cry: And with my straining voice unto the Lord God prayed I. 2 My meditation in his sight to pour I did not spare, And in the presence of the Lord my trouble did declare. 3 Although perplexed was my soul, my path was known to thee: In way where I did walk, a snare, they slyly laid for me. 4 I look'd and view'd on my right hand, but none there would me know: All refuge failed me, and for my soul none care did shew. 5 Then cried I to thee, and said, O Lord, my hope thou art: And in the land of the living my portion and my part. 6 Hear now my cry, for I am brought full low, deliver me From them that do me persecute, for me too strong they be. 7 That I may praise thy name, my soul from prison, Lord bring out: When thou art good to me, the just shall compass me about. Scripture: Psalm 142 Languages: English

Lord, hear my pray'r and my complaint

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my pray'r and my complaint which I do make to thee: And in thy native truth, and in thy justice answer me. 2 In judgment with thy servant, Lord, O enter not at all: For justify'd be in thy sight not one that liveth shall. 3 The enemy pursu'd my soul, my life to ground hath thrown, And laid me in the dark like them, that are to grave gone down. 4 Therefore my spirit in me is in great perplexity, My heart within me is also afflicted grievously. 5 Yet I record time past, and on thy works I meditate, Yea, I do muse upon the works, that thy hands have create. 6 To thee, O Lord my God, do I stretch forth my craving hands; My soul desireth after thee as do the thirsty lands. 7 Hear me with speed, my spirit fails, hide not thy face, lest I Be like to them, that in the pit sink down, and there do lie. 8 Let me thy loving-kindness in the morning hear and know: For in thee is my trust, shew me the way that I should go. 9 For unto thee I lift my soul, O Lord, deliver me From all mine enemies, for I have hid myself with thee. 10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou, thou art my God alway, Let thy good Spirit to the land of mercy me convey. 11 For thy Name's sake with quick'ning grace alive do thou me make, And out of trouble bring my soul, e'en for thy justice sake; 12 And of thy mercy slay my foes, let them destroyed be That do oppress my soul, for I a servant am to thee. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English

Blest be the Lord my strength, that doth

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLIV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Blest be the Lord my strength, that doth instruct my hands to fight, The Lord that doth my fingers frame to battle by his might. 2 He is my hope, my fort, and tow'r, deliverer and shield; In him I trust, my people he subdues to me to yield. 3 O Lord, what thing is man, that him thou dost so highly prize! Or son of man, that upon him thou thinkest in such wise! 4 Man is but like to vanity, so pass his days to end, As fleeting shade. Bow down, O Lord, the heavens, and thence descend; 5 The mountains touch, and they shall smoke, cast forth thy lightning's flame, And scatter them; thy arrows shoot, consume them with the same. 6 Send down thy hand from heav'n above, O Lord, deliver me; Take me from waters great, from hand of strangers set me free; 7 Whose subtil mouth of vanity with flatt'ring words doth treat, And their right-hand is a right-hand of falshood and deceit. 8 A new song will I sing to thee, O God, the Lord most high, And on a ten-string'd lute also praise thee most joyfully. 9 Even he it is that only gives deliverance to kings; Unto his servant David help from hurtful sword he brings. 10 From strangers hand me save and shield, whose mouth talks vanity, And their right-hand is a right-hand of guile and subtilty. 11 That so our sons may be as plants, which growing youth doth rear, Our daughters as carv'd corner-stones, like to a palace fair; 12 Our garners full and plenty may of sundry sorts be found; Our sheep bring thousands, in our streets ten thousand may abound: 13 Our oxen be to labour strong, that none may us invade; No goings out there be, nor cries within our streets be made. 14 The people happy are that with such blessings great are stor'd; Yea, blessed all tile people are, whose God is God the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 144 Languages: English

Sing ye unto the Lord our God

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLIX (1790) Lyrics: 1 Sing ye unto the Lord our God a new rejoicing song, And let the praise of him be heard his holy saints among. 2 Let Israel rejoice in God, and praises to him sing, And let the seed of Sion be most joyful in their King: 3 Let them sound praise with voice of lute unto his holy Name, And with the timbrel and the harp sing praises to the same. 4 For why? the Lord his pleasure all hath in his people set, And by deliv'rance he will raise the meek to glory great. 5 With glory and with honour now let all his saints rejoice, Aloud upon their beds also advance their singing voice. 6 And in their mouths let be the high praises of God the Lord, And in their hands likewise a sharp and a two-edged sword: 7 To plague the heathen, and correct the people with their hands; To bind their stately kings in chains, their lords in iron bands: 8 To execute on them the doom, that written was before: This honour all his saints shall have; praise ye the Lord therefore. Scripture: Psalm 149 Languages: English

Thee will I laud, my God and King

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Thee will I laud, my God and King, and bless thy Name alway; For ever will I praise the same, and bless thee day by day. 2 Great is the Lord, most worthy praise, his greatness none can reach; From race to race they shall thy works praise, and thy power preach. 3 I of thy glorious majesty the beauty will record, And meditate upon thy works most wonderful, O Lord: 4 And they shall of thy pow'r, and of thy faithful acts declare, And I to publish all abroad thy greatness will not spare: 5 And they into the mention shall break of thy goodness great, And I aloud thy righteousness in singing will repeat. 6 The Lord our God most gracious is and merciful also, Of great abounding mercy, and to anger he is slow. 7 Yea, good to all; and all his works His mercy doth exceed; Lo, all thy works do praise thee, Lord, and honour thee indeed. 8 Thy saints do bless thee, and they do thy kingdom's glory show, And blaze thy pow'r, to cause the sons of men the same to know. The Second Part. 9 And of thy kingdom's majesty do spread the glorious praise; Thy kingdom, Lord, a kingdom is that doth endure always: 10 And thy dominion through each age endures without decay: The Lord upholdeth them that fall, their sliding he doth stay. 11 The eyes of all do wait on thee, thou dost them all relieve, And thou to each sufficing food in season due dost give: 12 Thou openest thy plenteous hand, and bounteously dost fill All things whatever that do live With gifts of thy good will. 13 The Lord is just in all his ways, his works are holy all, And he is near all those that do in truth upon him call: 14 He the desires of all them, that fear him will fulfil, And he will hear them when they cry, and save them all he will. 15 The Lord preserves all those, to him that bear a loving heart; But he all them that wicked are will utterly subvert. 16 My thankful mouth shall gladly speak the praises of the Lord: All flesh to praise his holy Name for ever shall accord. Scripture: Psalm 145 Languages: English

My soul, praise thou the Lord always

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLVI (1790) Lyrics: 1 My soul, praise thou the Lord always, my God I will confess; While breath and life prolong my days my tongue no time shall cease. 2 Trust not in worldly princes then, though they abound in wealth; Nor in the sons of mortal men, in whom there is no health. 3 For why? their breath doth soon depart, to earth anon they fall, And then the counsels of their heart decay and perish all. 4 Blessed and happy are all they, whom Jacob's God doth aid, And he whose hope doth not decay, but on the Lord is staid: 5 Who made the earth and waters deep, the heav'ns most high withal; Who doth his word and promise keep in truth and ever shall. 6 With right always doth he proceed for such as suffer wrong, The poor and hungry he doth feed, and loose the fetters strong: 7 The Lord doth send the blind their sight, the lame to limbs restore; He loveth all, that are upright, and just men evermore: 8 He doth defend the fatherless, and strangers sad in heart, He frees the widow from distress, and ill men's ways subvert, 9 The Lord thy God eternally, O Sion, still shall reign, In time of all posterity for ever to remain. Scripture: Psalm 146 Languages: English

Praise ye the Lord, for it is good

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good unto our God to sing; For it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing. 2 The Lord his own Jerusalem he buildeth up alone, And the dispers'd of Israel doth gather into one: 3 He heals the broken in their heart, their sores up doth he bind, He counts the number of the stars, and names them in their kind. 4 Great is the Lord, great is his pow'r his wisdom infinite; The Lord relieves the meek, and throws to ground the wicked wight. 5 Sing unto God the Lord with praise, unto the Lord rejoice, And to our God upon the harp advance your singing voice. 6 He covers heav'n with clouds, and for the earth prepareth rain, And on the mountains he doth make the grass to grow again: 7 He gives to beasts their food, and to young ravens when they cry; His pleasure not in strength of horse, nor in man's legs doth lie: 8 But in all those that do him fear the Lord hath his delight, And such as do attend upon his mercy's shining light. The Second Part 9 O praise the Lord, Jerusalem, thy God, O Sion, praise; For he the bars hath forged strong wherewith thy gates he stays; 10 Thy children in thee he hath blest, and in thy borders he Doth settle peace, and with the flour of wheat he filleth thee: 11 And his command likewise upon the earth he sendeth out; Also his word with speedy course doth swiftly run about: 12 He giveth snow like wool, and frost like ashes scatters wide; Like morsels casts his ice: the cold thereof who can abide? 13 He sendeth forth his mighty word, and melteth them again; His wind he makes to blow, and then the waters flow amain. 14 The doctrine of his holy word to Jacob he doth show, His statutes and his judgments he gives Israel to know. 15 With any nation hath he not so dealt, nor have they known His secret judgments: ye therefore, praise ye the Lord alone. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

Give laud unto the Lord

Author: J. H. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXLVIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Give laud unto the Lord, from heav'n that is so high; Praise him in deed and word above the starry sky: And also ye, his angels all, armies royal, Praise joyfully. 2 Praise him both moon and sun, which are so clear and bright; The same of you be done, ye glittering stars of light. And ye no less, ye heavens fair, Clouds of the air, his praise express: 3 For at his word they were all formed as we see, At his voice did appear all things in their degree, Which he set fast; to them he made A law and trade always to last. 4 Extol and praise God's Name on earth, ye dragons fell; All deeps do ye the same, for it becomes you well, The same do ye, fire, hail, ice, snow, And storms that blow at his decree: 5 The hills and mountains all, and trees that fruitful are, The cedars great and tall, his worthy praise declare; Beasts and cattle, Yea, birds of wing, And worms creeping, that on earth dwell: 6 All kings both great and small, with all their pompous train, Princes and judges all that in the world remain, Exalt his Name: young men and maids, Old men and babes, Do ye the same. 7 For his Name shall we prove to be most excellent, Whose praise is far above the earth and firmament: For sure he shall exalt with bliss The horn of his, And help them all. 8 His saints all shall forth tell his praise and worthiness, he sons of Israel, each one both more and less: And also they, that with good will His words fulfil, And him obey. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English

Not unto us, Lord, not to us

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXV (1790) Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, Lord, not to us, but to thy Name give praise, Both for thy mercy and thy truth, that are in thee always. 2 Why shall the heathen scorners say, Where is their God become? Our God he is in heav'n, and what he will'd, that he hath done. 3 Their idols silver are and gold, work of men's hands they be; They have a mouth, but do not speak, and eyes, but do not see: 4 And they have ears join'd to their heads, but do not hear at all; Noses also they form-ed have, but not to smell withal: 5 And hands they have, but handle not, and feet, but cannot walk: A throat they have, yet through the same they do not speak or talk. 6 They and their makers are alike, and those whose trust they be O Israel, trust in the Lord, thy help and shield is he. 7 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord, that still defendeth thee; Ye that do fear him, trust in him, your sure defense is he. 8 The Lord of us hath mindful been, and will us bless also, On Israel and Aaron's house his blessings will bellow, 9 They that be fearers of the Lord he sure will bless them all, Yea, he will bless them ev'ry one, ev'n both the great and small. 10 To you always the living Lord will multiply his grace, And also to the children that, shall follow of your race. 11 Ye are the blessed of the Lord, even of the Lord most high, Who both the heav'ns and earth did make and fix immovably. 12 The heav'ns above the highest heav'n belong unto the Lord; The earth unto the sons of men he gave of free accord. 13 They that be dead do not with praise set forth the Lord's renown, Nor any that unto the place of silence do go down: 14 But we will praise the Lord our God henceforth for ever more; He only worthy is of praise: praise ye the Lord therefore. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English

I Love the Lord, because the voice

Author: N. Hymnal: WBOP1790 #CXVI (1790) Lyrics: 1 I Love the Lord, because the voice of my prayer heard hath he; I'll ever call on him, because he bow'd his ear to me. 2 Ev'n when the snares of cruel death about beset me round, When pains of hell me caught, and when I wo and sorrow found; 3 Upon the Name of God the Lord then did I call and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray. 4 The Lord is very merciful, and just he is also, And in our God compassion doth most plentifully flow. 5 The Lord in safety doth preserve all those that simple be, I was in woful misery, and he deliver'd me. 6 And now, my soul, since thou art safe, return unto thy rest, For largely unto thee the Lord his bounty hath exprest. 7 Because thou hast delivered my soul from deadly thrall, My moisten'd eyes from mournful tears, my sliding feet from fall; 8 Before the Lord I in the land of life will walk therefore, I did believe, therefore I spake, but I was troubled sore. The Second Part. 9 I said in my distress and fear, That all men liars be: What shall I pay the Lord for all his benefits to me? 10 The wholesome cup of saving health I thankfully will take, And on the Name of God will call, when I my prayers do make. 11 I to the Lord will pay my vows with joy and great delight, Now at this very present time in all his people's sight. 12 Right dear and precious in his sight he always doth esteem The death of all his holy ones, whatever men do deem. 13 Thy servant, Lord, thy servant, lo, I do myself confess, Son of thy handmaid, thou hast broke the bonds of my distress. 14 Therefore I'll offer up to thee a sacrifice of praise; And I will call upon the Name of God the Lord always: 15 I to the Lord will pay my vows with joy and great delight, Now at this very present time in all his people's sight: 16 Yea, in the courts of God's own house, and in the midst of thee, O thou Jerusalem: Therefore the Lord our God praise ye.
