Psalm 88: Lord God, my Saviour, day and night

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lord God, my Saviour, day and night Lyrics: 1Lord God, my Saviour, day and night before thee cry’d have I. 2Before thee let my prayer come; give ear unto my cry. 3For troubles great do fill my soul; my life draws nigh the grave. 4I’m counted with those that go down to pit, and no strength have. 5Ev’n free among the dead, like them that slain in grave do lie; Cut off from thy hand, whom no more thou hast in memory. 6Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves. 7Thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast me press’d with all thy waves. 8Thou hast put far from me my friends, thou mad’st them to abhor me; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me. 9By reason of affliction mine eye mourns dolefully: To thee, Lord, do I call, and stretch my hands continually. 10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall they rise, and thee bless? 11Shall in the grave thy love be told? in death thy faithfulness? 12Shall thy great wonders in the dark, or shall thy righteousness Be known to any in the land of deep forgetfulness? 13But, Lord, to thee I cry’d; my pray’r at morn prevent shall thee. 14Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul, and hid’st thy face from me? 15Distress’d am I, and from my youth I ready am to die; Thy terrors I have borne, and am distracted fearfully. 16The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath quite over me doth go: Thy terrors great have cut me off, they did pursue me so. 17For round about me ev’ry day, like water, they did roll; And, gathering together, they have compassed my soul. 18My friends thou hast put far from me, and him that did me love; And those that mine acquaintance were to darkness didst remove. Scripture: Psalm 88

Psalm 89: God's mercies I will ever sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: God's mercies I will ever sing Lyrics: 1God’s mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all. 2For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns, thou wilt establish sure. 3I with my chosen One have made a cov’nant graciously; And to my servant, whom I lov’d, to David sworn have I; 4That I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain, And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness. 6For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are? 7Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev’rence be ador’d. 8O thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee? who compass’d round art with thy faithfulness. 9Ev’n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; And when the waves thereof do swell, thou stillest them again. 10Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughter’d is; And with thy mighty arm thou hast dispers’d thine enemies. 11The heav’ns are thine, thou for thine own the earth dost also take; The world, and fulness of the same, thy pow’r did found and make. 12The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had; Both Tabor mount and Hermon hill shall in thy name be glad. 13Thou hast an arm that’s full of pow’r, thy hand is great in might; And thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place; Mercy, accompany’d with truth, shall go before thy face. 15O greatly bless’d the people are the joyful sound that know; In brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; And in thy favour shall our horn and pow’r exalted be. 18For God is our defence; and he to us doth safety bring: The Holy One of Israel is our almighty King. 19In vision to thy Holy One thou saidst, I help upon A strong one laid; out of the folk I rais’d a chosen one; 20Ev’n David, I have found him out a servant unto me; And with my holy oil my King anointed him to be. 21With whom my hand shall stablish’d be; mine arm shall make him strong. 22On him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes; I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be; And in my name his horn and pow’r men shall exalted see. 25His hand and pow’r shall reach afar; I’ll set it in the sea; And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thou art my God alone; And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. 28My love I’ll ever keep for him, my cov’nant fast shall stand. 29His seed I by my pow’r will make for ever to endure; And, as the days of heav’n, his throne shall stable be, and sure. 30But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way: 31If they my laws break, and do not keep my commandements; 32I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with chastisements. 33Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34My cov’nant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie; 36His seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye. 37It, like the moon, shall ever be establish’d stedfastly; And like to that which in the heav’n doth witness faithfully. 38But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth. 39Thou hast thy servant’s covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan’d his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie. 40Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. 41He to all passers-by a spoil, to neighbours is a scorn. 42Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand; mad’st all his en’mies glad: 43Turn’d his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast; 45Shorten’d his days of youth, and him with shame thou cover’d hast. 46How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire? 47Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain: O wherefore is it so that thou has made all men in vain? 48What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free? 49Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now? Those which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou? 50Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach; how I in bosom bear The scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are. 51Wherewith thy raging enemies reproach’d, O Lord, think on; Wherewith they have reproach’d the steps of thine anointed one. 52All blessing to the Lord our God let be ascribed then: For evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and amen. Scripture: Psalm 89

Psalm 90: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in generations all. Before thou ever hadst brought forth the mountains great or small; Ere ever thou hadst form’d the earth, and all the world abroad; Ev’n thou from everlasting art to everlasting God. Thou dost unto destruction man that is mortal turn; And unto them thou say’st, Again, ye sons of men, return. Because a thousand years appear no more before thy sight Than yesterday, when it is past, or than a watch by night. As with an overflowing flood thou carry’st them away: They like a sleep are, like the grass that grows at morn are they. At morn it flourishes and grows, cut down at ev’n doth fade. For by thine anger we’re consum’d, thy wrath makes us afraid. Our sins thou and iniquities dost in thy presence place, And sett’st our secret faults before the brightness of thy face. For in thine anger all our days do pass on to an end; And as a tale that hath been told, so we our years do spend. Threescore and ten years do sum up our days and years, we see; Or, if, by reason of more strength, in some fourscore they be: Yet doth the strength of such old men but grief and labour prove; For it is soon cut off, and we fly hence, and soon remove. Who knows the power of thy wrath? according to thy fear So is thy wrath: Lord, teach thou us our end in mind to bear; And so to count our days, that we our hearts may still apply To learn thy wisdom and thy truth, that we may live thereby. Turn yet again to us, O Lord, how long thus shall it be? Let it repent thee now for those that servants are to thee. O with thy tender mercies, Lord, us early satisfy; So we rejoice shall all our days, and still be glad in thee. According as the days have been, wherein we grief have had, And years wherein we ill have seen, so do thou make us glad. O let thy work and pow’r appear thy servants’ face before; And shew unto their children dear thy glory evermore: And let the beauty of the Lord our God be us upon: Our handy-works establish thou, establish them each one. Scripture: Psalm 90

Psalm 91: He that doth in the secret place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: He that doth in the secret place Lyrics: 1He that doth in the secret place of the most High reside, Under the shade of him that is th’ Almighty shall abide. 2I of the Lord my God will say, He is my refuge still, He is my fortress, and my God, and in him trust I will. 3Assuredly he shall thee save, and give deliverance From subtile fowler’s snare, and from the noisome pestilence. 4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust under his wings shall be: His faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5Thou shalt not need to be afraid for terrors of the night; Nor for the arrow that doth fly by day, while it is light; 6Nor for the pestilence, that walks in darkness secretly; Nor for destruction, that doth waste at noon-day openly. 7A thousand at thy side shall fall, on thy right hand shall lie Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee it shall not once come nigh. 8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look, and a beholder be; And thou therein the just reward of wicked men shalt see. 9Because the Lord, who constantly my refuge is alone, Ev’n the most High, is made by thee thy habitation; 10No plague shall near thy dwelling come; no ill shall thee befall: 11For thee to keep in all thy ways his angels charge he shall. 12They in their hands shall bear thee up, still waiting thee upon; Lest thou at any time should’st dash thy foot against a stone. 13Upon the adder thou shalt tread, and on the lion strong; Thy feet on dragons trample shall, and on the lions young. 14Because on me he set his love, I’ll save and set him free; Because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high. 15He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him; I will be with him still In trouble, to deliver him, and honour him I will. 16With length of days unto his mind I will him satisfy; I also my salvation will cause his eyes to see. Scripture: Psalm 91

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: To render thanks unto the Lord Lyrics: 1To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, And to thy name, O thou most High, due praise aloud to sing. 2Thy loving-kindness to shew forth when shines the morning light; And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure ev’ry night. 3On a ten-stringed instrument, upon the psaltery, And on the harp with solemn sound, and grave sweet melody. 4For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works hast made my heart right glad; And I will triumph in the works which by thine hands were made. 5How great, Lord, are thy works! each thought of thine a deep it is: 6A brutish man it knoweth not; fools understand not this. 7When those that lewd and wicked are spring quickly up like grass, And workers of iniquity do flourish all apace; It is that they for ever may destroyed be and slain; 8But thou, O Lord, art the most High, for ever to remain. 9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine en’mies perish shall; The workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10But thou shalt, like unto the horn of th’ unicorn, exalt My horn on high: thou with fresh oil anoint me also shalt. 11Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; Mine ears shall of the wicked hear that do against me rise. 12But like the palm-tree flourishing shall be the righteous one; He shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, They shall grow up, and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14And in old age, when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; They shall be fat, and full of sap, and aye be flourishing; 15To shew that upright is the Lord: he is a rock to me; And he from all unrighteousness is altogether free. Scripture: Psalm 92

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he Lyrics: 1The Lord doth reign, and cloth’d is he with majesty most bright; His works do shew him cloth’d to be, and girt about with might. The world is also stablished, that it cannot depart. 2Thy throne is fix’d of old, and thou from everlasting art. 3The floods, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice; The floods have lifted up their waves, and made a mighty noise. 4But yet the Lord, that is on high, is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are. 5Thy testimonies ev’ry one in faithfulness excel; And holiness for ever, Lord, thine house becometh well. Scripture: Psalm 93

Psalm 94: O Lord God, unto whom alone

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O Lord God, unto whom alone Lyrics: 1O Lord God, unto whom alone all vengeance doth belong; O mighty God, who vengeance own’st, shine forth, avenging wrong. 2Lift up thyself, thou of the earth the sov’reign Judge that art; And unto those that are so proud a due reward impart. 3How long, O mighty God, shall they who lewd and wicked be, How long shall they who wicked are thus triumph haughtily? 4How long shall things most hard by them be uttered and told? And all that work iniquity to boast themselves be bold? 5Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord, thine heritage oppress: 6The widow they and stranger slay, and kill the fatherless. 7Yet say they, God it shall not see, nor God of Jacob know. 8Ye brutish people! understand; fools! when wise will ye grow? 9The Lord did plant the ear of man, and hear then shall not he? He only form’d the eye, and then shall he not clearly see? 10He that the nations doth correct, shall he not chastise you? He knowledge unto man doth teach, and shall himself not know? 11Man’s thoughts to be but vanity the Lord doth well discern. 12Bless’d is the man thou chast’nest, Lord, and mak’st thy law to learn: 13That thou may’st give him rest from days of sad adversity, Until the pit be digg’d for those that work iniquity. 14For sure the Lord will not cast off those that his people be, Neither his own inheritance quit and forsake will he: 15But judgment unto righteousness shall yet return again; And all shall follow after it that are right-hearted men. 16Who will rise up for me against those that do wickedly? Who will stand up for me ‘gainst those that work iniquity? 17Unless the Lord had been my help when I was sore opprest, Almost my soul had in the house of silence been at rest. 18When I had uttered this word, (my foot doth slip away,) Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, thy goodness did me stay. 19Amidst the multitude of thoughts which in my heart do fight, My soul, lest it be overcharg’d, thy comforts do delight. 20Shall of iniquity the throne have fellowship with thee, Which mischief, cunningly contriv’d, doth by a law decree? 21Against the righteous souls they join, they guiltless blood condemn. 22But of my refuge God’s the rock, and my defence from them. 23On them their own iniquity the Lord shall bring and lay, And cut them off in their own sin; our Lord God shall them slay. Scripture: Psalm 94

I said, This people errs in heart, my ways they do not know: 11To whom I sware in wrath, that to my rest they should not go. Scripture: Psalm 95

Who do of idols boast themselves, let shame upon them fall: Ye that are called gods, see that ye do him worship all. 8Sion did hear, and joyful was, glad Judah’s daughters were; They much rejoic’d, O Lord, because thy judgments did appear. 9For thou, O Lord, art high above all things on earth that are; Above all other gods thou art exalted very far. 10Hate ill, all ye that love the Lord: his saints’ souls keepeth he; And from the hands of wicked men he sets them safe and free. 11For all those that be righteous sown is a joyful light, And gladness sown is for all those that are in heart upright. 12Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; express your thankfulness, When ye into your memory do call his holiness.
