Yea, God is good to Israel

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yea, God is good to Israel, to each pure-hearted one. 2 But as for me, my steps nigh slipped, my feet were almost gone. 3 For I envious was, and grudged the foolish folk to see, when I perceived wicked men enjoy prosperity. 4 For still their strength continues firm; their death of bands is free. 5 Not troubled they like other men, nor plagued, as others be. 6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain, them compasseth about: and, as a garment, violence doth cover them throughout. 7 Their eyes stand out with fat; they have more than their hearts could seek; 8 they mock, and loftily of wrong and of oppression speak. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens in proud and haughty talk; their boastful and reviling tongue upon the earth doth walk. 10 His people oftentimes for this look back, and turn about; since waters of so full a cup to these are poured out. 11 And thus they say, How can it be that God these things doth know? Or, Can there in the Highest be knowledge of things below? 12 Lo these the wicked are, and yet they prosper at their will in worldly things; they do increase in wealth and riches still. 13 I verily have done in vain my heart to purify; to no effect in innocence my hands made clean have I. 14 For daily, and all day throughout, great plagues I suffered have; yea, every morning I anew did chastisement receive. 15 If in this manner foolishly to speak I would intend, the generation of thy sons, behold, I should offend. 16 But when I thought this thing to know, it was too hard for me, 17 till to God’s sanctuary I went; then I their end did see. 18 Upon a slippery place them set assuredly thou hast; and down into destruction thou dost suddenly them cast. 19 How in a moment suddenly to ruin brought are they! With fearful terrors utterly they are consumed away. 20 Even like unto a dream, when one from sleeping doth arise; so thou, O Lord, when thou awak’st their image shalt despise. 21 Thus I was grieved in my heart, and in my reins oppressed. 22 So rude was I, and ignorant, and in thy sight a beast. 23 And yet, O Lord, I do abide continually with thee: thou dost me take by my right hand, and still upholdest me. 24 Thou with thy counsel, while I live, wilt me conduct and guide; and to thy glory afterward receive me to abide. 25 Whom have I in the heavens high but thee, O Lord, alone? And in the earth whom I desire besides thee there is none. 26 My flesh and heart doth faint and fail; but God doth fail me never: for of my heart God is the strength and portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee for ever perish shall; them that forsake thee wantonly thou hast destroyed all. 28 But surely it is good for me that I draw near to God: In God I trust, that all thy works I may declare abroad.

No Sleep Nor Slumber to His Eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Good David would afford, Till He had found below the skies A dwelling for the Lord. 2. The Lord in Sion placed His name, His ark was settled there; To Sion the whole nation came To worship thrice a year. 3. But we have no such lengths to go, Nor wander far abroad; Where’er Thy saints assemble now, There is a house for God. 4. Arise, O King of grace, arise And enter to Thy rest! Lo! Thy Church waits with longing eyes Thus to be owned and blest. 5. Enter with all Thy glorious train Thy Spirit and Thy Word; All that the ark did once contain Could no such grace afford. 6. Here, mighty God, accept our vows, Here let Thy praise be spread; Bless the provisions of Thy house, And fill Thy poor with bread. 7. Here let the Son of David reign, Let God’s Anointed shine; Justice and truth His court maintain With love and power divine. 8. Here let Him hold a lasting throne; And as His kingdom grows, Fresh honors shall adorn His crown, And shame confound his foes. Used With Tune: LONDON NEW Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Jehovah said unto my Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes a stool, whereon thy feet may stand. 2 The Lord shall out of Zion send the rod of thy great power: in midst of all thine enemies be thou the governor. 3 A willing people in thy day of power shall come to thee, in holy beauties from morn’s womb; thy youth like dew shall be. 4 The Lord himself hath made an oath, and will repent him never, of the order of Melchisedek thou art a priest for ever. 5 The glorious and mighty Lord, that sits at thy right hand, shall, in his day of wrath, strike through kings that do him withstand. 6 Among the nations he shall judge, the places fill with dead; and over broad and spacious lands he shall strike down the head. 7 The brook that runneth in the way with drink shall him supply; and, for this cause, in triumph he shall lift his head on high.
