O Lord, I am not puft in mind
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I am not puft in mind,
I have no scornful eye,
I do not exercise my self
in things that be too high:
2 But as a child that weaned is
ev'n from his mother's breast,
So have I, Lord, behav'd myself
In silence and in rest.
3 O Israel, trust in the Lord,
let him be all thy stay,
From this time forth for evermore,
from age to age alway. Scripture: Psalm 131
O Lord, I am not puft in mind
Remember David's troubles, Lord
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Remember David's troubles, Lord,
how unto thee he swore,
And vow'd a vow to Jacob's God,
to keep for evermore:
2 I will not come within my house,
nor climb up to my bed,
Nor let my temples take their rest,
nor eyes within my head;
3 Till I have found out for the Lord
a place to sit thereon,
An house for Jacob's God to be
an habitation.
4 We heard of it at Ephrata,
there did we hear this sound,
And in the fields and forests there
these voices first were found:
5 We will assay and go unto
his tabernacle there,
Before his footstool to fall down,
and worship him in fear.
6 Arise, O Lord, arise, I pray,
into thy resting place,
Thou and the ark of thy great strength,
the presence of thy grace.
7 Let all thy priests be cloathed, Lord,
with truth and righteousness,
Let all thy saints with songs of praise
their joyfullness express.
8 And for thy servant David's sake
refuse not, Lord, I pray,
The face of thy annointed, and
turn not from him away.
The Second Part
9 The Lord to David swore in truth,
and will not shrink from it,
The fruit which from thy loins proceed
upon thy seat shall sit:
10 And if thy sons my laws will keep,
that I shall learn each one,
Then shall their sons for ever sit
upon thy princely throne.
11 The Lord himself hath Sion chose,
and loves therein to dwell,
Saying, This is my resting place,
I love and like it well;
12 And I will bless with great increase
her victuals ev'ry where,
And also satisfy with bread
the needy that be there:
13 With my salvation I will clothe
her priests for evermore,
And all her saints likewise shall sing
and shout for joy therefore.
14 There will I surely make the horn
of David for to bud;
For there I have ordain'd for him
a lantern bright and good.
15 As for his foes, I will them clothe
with shame for evermore;
But I will cause his crown to shine
more fresh than heretofore. Scripture: Psalm 132
Remember David's troubles, Lord
O what a happy thing it is
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what a happy thing it is,
and joyful for to see,
Brethren to dwell together in
friendship and unity!
2 It's like the precious ointment that
was pour'd on Aaron's head,
Which from his beard down to the skirts
of his rich garments spread.
3 And as the lower ground doth drink
the dew of Hermon hill,
And Sion with his silver drops
the fields with fruit doth fill;
4 Ev'n so the Lord doth pour on them
his blessings manifold,
Whose hearts and minds sincerely do
this knot fast keep and hold. Scripture: Psalm 133
O what a happy thing it is
Behold, and have regard
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, and have regard,
ye servants of the Lord,
Who in his house by night do watch,
praise him with one accord.
2 Lift up your hands on high
unto his holy place,
And give the Lord his praises due,
His benefits embrace.
3 For why? the Lord our God
who heav'n and earth did frame,
Doth Sion bless, and will preserve
for evermore the same. Scripture: Psalm 134
Behold, and have regard
Psalm CXXXIX
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord thou hast me try'd and known Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou hast me try'd and known,
my sitting down dost know,
My rising up and thoughts far off
thou understand'st also.
2 My path, yea, and my bed likewise
thou art about always:
And by familiar custom art
acquainted with my ways.
3 No word is in my tongue, O Lord,
that is not known to thee;
Thou hast beset me round about,
and laid thy hand on me.
4 Such knowledge is too wonderful,
and past my skill to gain;
It is so high, that I unto
the same cannot attain.
5 From thy all-seeing spirit then,
Lord, whither should I go?
Or whither shall I fly away
from thy presence also?
6 For if to heaven I climb up,
lo, thou art present there;
In hell if I lie down below,
even there thou dost appear,
7 Yea, let me take the morning wings,
and let me go and dwell
Even in the very utmost parts
where flowing sea doth swell.
8 Yet certainly there also shall
thy hand me lead and guide:
And thy right-hand shall hold me fast,
and make me to abide.
9 Or if I say, the darkness shall
shroud me quite from thy sight:
Ev'n then the night that is most dark
about me shall be light.
10 The darkness hideth not from thee,
but night doth shine as day;
To thee the darkness and the light,
are both alike alway.
The Second Part.
11 For thou possessed hast my reins,
and thou did'st cover me,
Within my mother's womb, when I
was there enclos'd by thee.
12 Thee will I praise; made fearfully
and wondrously I am:
Thy works are marvelous, right well
my soul doth know the same.
13 My bones they are not hid from thee,
altho' in secret place
I have been made, and in the earth
beneath I shaped was.
14 When I was formless, then thy eye
saw me; for in thy book
Were all my members written, and
nought after fashion took.
15 The thoughts therefore of thee, O God,
how dear are they to me:
And of them all how very great
the endless numbers be?
16 If I should count them, lo, their sum
more than the sand they be;
And whensoever I awake,
I present am with thee.
17 The wicked and ungodly thou
most certainly wilt slay:
Therefore now, all ye bloody men,
depart from me away.
18 These are the men, O Lord, who speak
most wickedly of thee:
And take thy Name in vain, because
thy enemies they be.
19 Hate I not them that hate thee, Lord,
and that in earnest wise?
Am I not grieved with all those
that up against thee rise?
20 I hate them with a perfect hate,
even as my utter foes:
Try me, O Lord, and know my heart,
my thoughts prove and disclose.
21 Consider, Lord, if wickedness
in me there any be:
And in thy way, O God, my guide,
for ever lead thou me. Scripture: Psalm 139
Psalm CXXXIX
O praise the Lord, praise ye his Name
Author: N. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, praise ye his Name,
praise him with one accord;
O praise him still, all ye, that be
the servants of the Lord.
2 O praise him, ye that stand and be
in the house of the Lord,
Ye of his court and of his house,
praise him with one accord.
3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
sing praises to his Name;
It is a good and pleasant thing
always to do the same.
4 For why? the Lord hath Jacob chose
his very own ye see;
So hath he chosen Israel
his treasure for to be.
5 For this I know, and am right sure,
the Lord is very great;
He is indeed above all gods,
most easy to intreat.
6 For whatsoever pleased him,
all that full well he wrought
In heav'n, in earth, and in the sea,
which he hath made of nought.
7 He lifts the clouds ab,ve the earth,
he lightnings makes and rain;
He bringeth forth the winds also,
and nothing made in vain.
8 He smote the first-born of each thing
in Egypt, that took rest,
He spared there no thing living,
the man, nor yet the beast.
9 He did likewise shew wonders great
on their inhabitants,
Upon king Pharaoh, and also
on his severe servants.
10 He smote then many nations, and
did great and wondrous things;
He likewise slew the mightiest
and chiefest of their kings;
11 Sehon king of the Amorites,
and Og king of Basan,
He slew also the kingdoms all,
that were of Canaan;
12 And gave their land to Israel
an heritage to be,
To Israel his people, and
to their posterity.
The Second Part.
13 Thy Name shall still endure, and thy
memorial likewise,
Throughout all generations, that
are now, or shall arise.
14 The Lord most surely will avenge
his people all with speed;
And to his servants he will shew
favour in time of need.
15 The idols of the heathen, which
are in the coasts and lands,
Of silver and of gold they be,
the work ev'n of men's hands.
16 They have their mouths, but cannot speak,
and eyes that have no sight;
And they have ears, but nothing hear,
their mouths are breathless quite.
17 Wherefore all they are like to them
that so do set them forth,
And likewise thos, that in them trust,
or think they be ought worth.
18 O all ye house of Israel,
see that ye praise the Lord;
And ye, that be of Aaron's house,
praise him with one accord:
19 And ye that be of Levi's house,
praise ye likewise the Lord.
All ye, that stand in awe of him,
praise him with one accord.
20 And out of Sion sound his praise,
the great praise of the Lord,
Who dwelleth in Jerusalem,
praise him with one accord. Scripture: Psalm 135

22 Even to his servant Israel;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
23 Remembring us in low estate;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
24 And from oppressors rescu'd us;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
25 Who giveth food unto all flesh;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
26 Praise ye the Lord of heav'n above;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
27 Give thanks unto the Lord of lords;
for his mercy endureth for ever. Scripture: Psalm 136

O Praise the Lord benign
Author: T. C. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord benign,
whose mercy ne'er decarys,
Give thanks and praise sing
to God of gods always;
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
2 The Lord of lords praise ye,
whose mercies ever dure
Great wonders only he
Doth by his power sure:
3 Which God omnipotent,
by his great wisdom he,
The heav'n and firmament
did frame, as we may see;
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
4 Yea, he the heavy charge
of all the earth did lay
Upon the waters large
remaining to this day:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
5 Great lights he made, for why?
his mercy lasts alway;
The sun most gloriously
to rule the lightsome day:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.

which shineth in our sight
And stars, that do appear,
to guide the darksome night:

his Israel forth brought:
Which he with mighty hand,
and out-stretch'd arm hath wrought;
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.

which stood up like a wall,
And made through it to go
his chosen children all:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
10 But overwhelmed then
the haughty king Phar'oh,
With his huge host of men,
and chariots also:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
11 Who led through wilderness,
his people safe and sound;
And for his love endless,
great kings he brought to ground:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
12 And with puissant hand
slew kings of mighty fame,
As of the Amorites land,
Sehon the king by name.
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
13 And Og, the giant large,
of Basan king also,
Whose land for heritage,
he gave his people to:
For certainly,
his mercies dure
Both firm and sure,
eternally.
14 Even unto Israel
his servant dear, I say,
That he therein might dwell,
and their abide alway:
For certainly,
his mercies dure

in our most low degree,
And from oppressors then

Both firm and sure,

O Praise the Lord benign
When we did sit in Babylon
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When we did sit in Babylon
the rivers round about,
Then in remembrance of Sion
the tears for grief burst out.
2 We hang'd our harps and instruments
the willow-trees upon:
For in that place men for their use
had planted many one.
3 Then they to whom we prisoners were
said to us tauntingly,
Now let us hear your Hebrew songs
and pleasant melody.
4 Alas! said we, who can once frame
his heavy heart to sing
The praises of our loving God,
thus under a strange king?
5 But yet if I Jerusalem
out of my heart let slide,
Then let my fingers quite forget
the warbling harp to guide;
6 And let my tongue within my mouth
be tyed for ever fast,
If I rejoice before I see
thy full deliv'rance past.
7 Therefore, O Lord, remember now
the cursed noise and cry,
That Edom's sons against us made,
when they raz'd our city.
8 Remember, Lord, their cruel words,
when with a mighty sound
They cried, Down, yea, down with it
unto the very ground.
9 Even so shalt thou, O Babylon,
at length to dust be brought;
And happy shall that man be call'd,
that our revenge hath wrought.
10 Yea, blessed shall that man be call'd,
that takes thy little ones
And dasheth them in pieces small
against the very stones. Scripture: Psalm 137
When we did sit in Babylon
Thee will I praise with my whole heart
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thee will I praise with my whole heart,
my Lord my God, always;
Even in the presence of the gods
I will advance thy praise.
2 Towards thy holy temple I
will look, and worship thee:
And praised in my thankful mouth
thy holy Name shall be:
3 Ev'n for thy loving-kindness' sake,
and for thy truth withal:
For thou thy Name hast by thy word
advanced over all.
4 When I did call, thou heardest me,
and thou hast made also
The power of increased strength
within my soul to grow.
5 Yea, all the kings on earth shall give
praise unto thee, O Lord:
For they of thy most holy mouth
have heard the mighty word.
6 They of the ways of God the Lord
in singing shall repeat;
Because the glory of the Lord
is so exceeding great.
7 The Lord is high, but yet he doth
the lowly man respect;
The proud he knows far off, and them
with scorn he doth reject.
8 Altho' in midst of trouble I
do walk, yet shall I stand
Reviv'd by thee; for thou, O Lord,
wilt stretch out thy right-hand.
9 Upon the wrath of all my foes,
and saved shall I be
By thy right-hand, the Lord God will
perform his work to me.
10 Thy mercies last for evermore,
Lord, do me not forsake:
Forsake me not, who am the work
which thy own hand did make. Scripture: Psalm 138
Thee will I praise with my whole heart
