Psalm 129: Oft did they vex me from my youth

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Oft did they vex me from my youth Lyrics: 1Oft did they vex me from my youth, may Isr’el now declare; 2Oft did they vex me from my youth, yet not victorious were. 3The plowers plow’d upon my back; they long their furrows drew. 4The righteous Lord did cut the cords of the ungodly crew. 5Let Sion’s haters all be turn’d back with confusion. 6As grass on houses’ tops be they, which fades ere it be grown: 7Whereof enough to fill his hand the mower cannot find; Nor can the man his bosom fill, whose work is sheaves to bind. 8Neither say they who do go by, God’s blessing on you rest: We in the name of God the Lord do wish you to be blest. Scripture: Psalm 129

Scripture: Psalm 130

Scripture: Psalm 131

Strange tokens he On Phar’oh and his servants sent, Egypt, in midst of thee. 10He smote great nations, slew great kings: 11Sihon of Heshbon king, And Og of Bashan, and to nought did Canaan’s kingdoms bring: 12And for a wealthy heritage their pleasant land he gave, An heritage which Israel, his chosen folk, should have. 13Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure, and thy memorial With honour shall continu’d be to generations all. 14For why? the righteous God will judge his people righteously; Concerning those that do him serve, himself repent will he. 15The idols of the nations of silver are and gold, And by the hands of men is made their fashion and mould. 16Mouths have they, but they do not speak; eyes, but they do not see; 17Ears have they, but hear not; and in their mouths no breathing be. 18Their makers are like them; so are all that on them rely. 19O Isr’el’s house, bless God; bless God, O Aaron’s family. 20O bless the Lord, of Levi’s house ye who his servants are; And bless the holy name of God, all ye the Lord that fear. 21And blessed be the Lord our God from Sion’s holy hill, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. The Lord O praise ye still. Scripture: Psalm 135

Psalm 139: O Lord, thou hast me search'd and known

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: O Lord, thou hast me search'd and known Lyrics: 1O Lord, thou hast me search’d and known. 2Thou know’st my sitting down, And rising up; yea, all my thoughts afar to thee are known. 3My footsteps, and my lying down, thou compassest always; Thou also most entirely art acquaint with all my ways. 4For in my tongue, before I speak, not any word can be, But altogether, lo, O Lord, it is well known to thee. 5Behind, before, thou hast beset, and laid on me thine hand. 6Such knowledge is too strange for me, too high to understand. 7From thy Sp’rit whither shall I go? or from thy presence fly? 8Ascend I heav’n, lo, thou art there; there, if in hell I lie. 9Take I the morning wings, and dwell in utmost parts of sea; 10Ev’n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead, thy right hand hold shall me. 11If I do say that darkness shall me cover from thy sight, Then surely shall the very night about me be as light. 12Yea, darkness hideth not from thee, but night doth shine as day: To thee the darkness and the light are both alike alway. 13For thou possessed hast my reins, and thou hast cover’d me, When I within my mother’s womb inclosed was by thee. 14Thee will I praise; for fearfully and strangely made I am; Thy works are marv’llous, and right well my soul doth know the same. 15My substance was not hid from thee, when as in secret I Was made; and in earth’s lowest parts was wrought most curiously. 16Thine eyes my substance did behold, yet being unperfect; And in the volume of thy book my members all were writ; Which after in continuance were fashion’d ev’ry one, When as they yet all shapeless were, and of them there was none. 17How precious also are thy thoughts, O gracious God, to me! And in their sum how passing great and numberless they be! 18If I should count them, than the sand they more in number be: What time soever I awake, I ever am with thee. 19Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay: hence from me bloody men. 20Thy foes against thee loudly speak, and take thy name in vain. 21Do not I hate all those, O Lord, that hatred bear to thee? With those that up against thee rise can I but grieved be? 22With perfect hatred them I hate, my foes I them do hold. 23Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, my thoughts unfold: 24And see if any wicked way there be at all in me; And in thine everlasting way to me a leader be. Scripture: Psalm 139

Psalm 140: Lord, from the ill and froward man

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Lord, from the ill and froward man Lyrics: 1Lord, from the ill and froward man give me deliverance, And do thou safe preserve me from the man of violence: 2Who in their heart mischievous things are meditating ever; And they for war assembled are continually together. 3Much like unto a serpent’s tongue their tongues they sharp do make; And underneath their lips there lies the poison of a snake. 4Lord, keep me from the wicked’s hands, from vi’lent men me save; Who utterly to overthrow my goings purpos’d have. 5The proud for me a snare have hid, and cords; yea, they a net Have by the way-side for me spread; they gins for me have set. 6I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: unto the cry Of all my supplications, Lord, do thine ear apply. 7O God the Lord, who art the strength of my salvation: A cov’ring in the day of war my head thou hast put on. 8Unto the wicked man, O Lord, his wishes do not grant; Nor further thou his ill device, lest they themselves should vaunt. 9As for the head and chief of those about that compass me, Ev’n by the mischief of their lips let thou them cover’d be. 10Let burning coals upon them fall, them throw in fiery flame, And in deep pits, that they no more may rise out of the same. 11Let not an evil speaker be on earth established: Mischief shall hunt the vi’lent man, till he be ruined. 12I know God will th’ afflicted’s cause maintain, and poor men’s right. 13Surely the just shall praise thy name; th’ upright dwell in thy sight. Scripture: Psalm 140
