Psalm 69: Lord, in Your Great Love
A Psalm of David
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me, O GOD: for mighty streams Lyrics: 1 Save me, O GOD: for mighty streams
break now into my soul:
2 In depths of mire and floods I sink,
and torrents o'er me roll.
3 I with my crying weary am;
my throat is thereby dry:
And my eyes fail, while for my God,
I wait attentively.
4 Those men who for no cause at all
to me great hatred bear,
More than the hairs upon my head
increas'd in number are.
Yea mighty are my causeless foes,
who would me hurt and slay;
Then I resigned and gave up
what I ne'er took away.
[2 Part]
5 O GOD, Thou know'st my foolishness,
Thou dost it fully see;
And all my faults of life and heart,
lie open clear to Thee.
6 Lord, LORD of hosts, let none who wait
on Thee have shame for me;
Nor those who seek Thee, Isr'el's God,
for me confounded be.
7 Because 'tis only for thy sake,
I suffer this disgrace;
And for Thy sake alone it is,
confusion spreads my face.
8 For Thee, to my own brethren I
a stranger quite became;
And to my mother's children I,
an utter alien am.
9 For of thy house the fervent zeal
hath ev'n consumed me;
And on me their reproaches fell,
who have reproached Thee.
10 My weeping, fasting, grief of soul,
to my reproach were turn'd;
11 A proverb to them I became,
when I in sackcloth mourn'd.
12 Who sat in gates of dignity,
on me did censures pass;
And I the subject of the song
of stupid drunkards was.
13 But, LORD, in an accepted time
I make my pray'r to Thee:
In thy great mercy, O my GOD,
and saving truth hear me.
[3 Part]
14 O rescue me out of the mire,
and me from sinking keep:
Free me from those who hate my soul,
and out of waters deep.
15 Let not the floods me overflow,
nor the deep swallow me,
Nor mouth of the devouring grave
upon me closed be.
16 LORD hear me: for exceeding good
is thy benignity;
And in thy mercies multitude
O turn and look to me.
17 O do not from thy servant hide,
thy countenance away;
For I in grievous trouble am:
hear me without delay.
18 O draw Thou near my troubled soul,
redeem and set it free;
And from my powerful enemies,
do Thou deliver me.
19 Thou knowest all my vile reproach,
my shame, and my disgrace:
Mine adversaries and their plots
are all before thy face.
20 My heart is broken with reproach,
and full of heaviness:
I look'd, but found no comforter,
not one to give me ease.
21 But bitter gall was all the food,
they to me offer'd have;
And in my parching thirst, for drink
sharp vinegar they gave.
[4 Part]
22 Before them shall their table prove
a snare: and Thou wilt make
Their temporal prosperity
a trap, themselves to take.
23 Thick darkness on their eyes shall come,
that they shall nothing see:
And Thou wilt make their loins to shake,
for fear, continually.
24 Thou wilt thine anger on them pour;
thy wrath shall seize them fast:
25 Their palace shall be desolate;
and all their tents be waste:
26 For, him whom Thou hast smitten down,
they persecute the more;
And vex him with malicious words,
whom Thou didst wound before.
27 Thou wilt them therefore justly leave
to add more sin to sin;
And they thy paths of righteousness
shall never enter in.
28 Out of the book of living ones
Thou wilt them wholly blot;
And in the roll of righteous men,
they never shall be wrote.
[5 Part]
29 I'm poor, distress'd: salvation grant;
raise me, O GOD, on high.
30 I'll praise the name of GOD with songs,
with thanks Him magnify.
31 This will be pleasing to the LORD,
and better in his eyes,
Than any bullocks fat and young,
mature for sacrifice.
32 And when the humble this shall see,
it joy to them will give:
And ye who seek the blessed GOD,
your heart shall ever life.
33 Because JEHOVAH hears the poor,
his pris'ners won't despise;
34 Let heav'ns, earth, seas, and ev'ry thing
that moves therein Him praise.
35 For GOD will Judah's cities build,
and Zion he will save;
That they may dwell therein, and them
for their possession have.
36 The children of his servants too
inherit shall the same;
And those shall have their dwelling there
who truly love his name.

If You Love Me
Salvum me fac
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69 First Line: Save me O God, and that with speed Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, and that with speed,
the waters flow full fast:
So nigh my soul do they proceed,
that I am sore agast.
2 I sincke full deepe in mire and clay,
whereas I feele no ground:
I fall into such floods I say,
that I am like be drownd.
3 With crying oft, I faint and quaile,
my throat is hoarse and drie
With looking up my sight doth faile,
for help to God on high.
4 My foes that guiltlesse do oppresse
my soul, with hate are led:
In number sure they are no lesse
than haires are on my head.
5 Though for no cause they vexe me sore
they prosper and are glad:
They do compell me to restore
the things I never had.
6 What I have done for want of wit,
thou Lord all times canst tell:
And all the faults that I commit,
to thee are known full well.
7 O God of hosts, defend and stay
all those that trust in thee:
Let no man doubt or shrink away,
for ought that chanceth me.
8 It is for thee and for thy sake,
that I do beare this blame:
In spite to thee they would me make
to hide my face for shame.
9 My mothers sonnes my brethren all
forsake me on a row:
And as a stranger they me call,
my face they will not know.
10 Unto thy house such zeal I beare,
that it doth pine me much:
Their checks and taunts at thee to heare.
my very heart doth grutch.
The second Part:
11 Though I do fast my flesh to chast,
yea if I weep and mone:
Yet in my teeth this thing is cast,
they passe not thereupon.
12 If I for griefe and paine of heart
in sackcloth use to walk:
Then they anon will it pervert,
thereof they jest and talk.
13 Both high and low, and all the throng
that sit within the gate:
They have me ever in their tongue,
of me they talk and prate,
14 They drunkard which in wine delight,
it is their chiefe pastime:
To seek which way to work me spight,
of me they sing and rime.
15 But thee the while, O Lord I pray,
that when it pleaseth thee,
For thy great truth thou wilt alway
send down thine aid to me.
16 Pluck thou my feet out of the mire,
from drowning do me keep:
From such as owe me wrath and ire,
and from the waters deep.
17 Lest with the waves I should be drownd
and depth my soul devoure:
And that the pit should me confound,
and shut me in her power.
18 O Lord of hoasts to me give eare,
as thou art good and kind:
And as thy mercy is most deare,
Lord, have me in thy mind.
19 And do not from thy servant hide,
nor turne thy face away:
I am opprest on every side,
in hast give eare I say.
20 O Lord unto my soul draw nigh,
the same with aid repose:
Because of their great tyrannie
acquit me from my foes.
The third Part:
21 That I abide rebuke and shame.
thou knowest, and thou canst tell:
For those that seek and work the same,
thou seest them all full well.
22 When they with brags do break my heart,
I seek for help anon:
But find no friends to ease my smart
to comfort me not one.
23 But in my meat they gave me gall,
too cruell for to think:
And gave me in my thirst withall,
strong vinegar to drink.
24 Lord, turn their table to a snare,
to take themselves therein:
And when they think full well to fare,
then trap them in the gin.
25 And let their eyes be dark and blind,
that they may nothing see:
Bow down their backs and do them bind
in thraldome for to be.
26 Powre out thy wrath as hot as fire,
that it on them may fall:
Let thy displeasure in thine ire
take hold upon them all.
27 As desarts drie their house disgrace,
their offspring eke expell:
That none thereof possesse their place,
nor in their tents once dwell.
28 If thou dost strike a man to tame,
on him they lay full sore:
And if that thou dost wound the same,
they seek to hurt him more.
29 Then let them heap up mischiefs still,
(sith they are all pervert)
That of thy favour and good will
they never have a part.
30 And raze them clean out of thy book
of life, of hope, and trust:
That for their names they never look
in number of the just.
The fourth Part:
31 Though I (O Lord) with wo and grief
have been full sore opprest
Thy help shall give me such relief,
that all shall be redrest.
32 That I may give thy Name the praise,
and shew it with a song:
I will extoll the same alwaies
with hearty thanks among.
33 Which is more pleasant unto thee,
(such mind thy grace hath born)
Than either Ox or Calfe can be:
that hath both hoof and horn.
34 When simple folk do this behold,
it shall rejoyce them sure,
And ye that seek the Lord behold,
your life for aye shall dure.
35 For why? the Lord of hoasts shall heare
the poore when they complaine:
His prispners are to him full deare,
he doth them not disdaine.
36 Wherefore the skie and earth belowe
the sea with floud and streame,
His praises shall declare and shew,
with all that live in them.
37 For sure our God will Sion save,
and Judaes Cities build:
Much folk possession there shall have,
her streets shall all be fild.
38 His servants seed shall keep the same.
all ages out of mind:
39 And there all they that love his Name,
a dwelling place shall find. Used With Tune: [Save me, O God, and that with speed]

How firm a foundation, you people of God
Author: 'K-" Appears in 2,127 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69:6-15 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, you people of God,
is laid for your faith in his excellent word;
what more can he say than to you he has said,
to all who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 Fear not, he is with you, and be not dismayed,
for he is your God and will still give you aid:
he'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by his righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 When through the deep waters he calls you to go,
the rivers of grief shall not you overflow;
the Lord will be with you in trouble to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie
his grace, all-sufficient shall be your supply;
the flame shall not hurt you, his only design
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
5 The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose
he will not, he cannot, desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
he never will leave, he will never forsake.

God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 69:4 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
he plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill
he treasures up his bright designs,
and works his sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds ye so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
but trust him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence
he hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flow'r.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
and scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Topics: Grace and Providence; Year A Easter 7 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
