To Thee, O God, We Render Thanks
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #151 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Punishment Of The Wicked Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O God, we render thanks,
To Thee give thanks sincere,
Because Thy wondrous works declare
That Thou art ever near.
2 Thy righteous judgment, Thou hast said,
Shall in due time appear,
And Thou Who didst establish it
Wilt fill the earth with fear.
3 Thou teachest meekness to the proud,
And makest sinners know
That none is Judge but God alone,
To honor or bring low.
4 Jehovah holds a cup of wrath,
And holds it not in vain,
For all the wicked of the earth
Its bitter dregs shall drain.
5 The God of Israel I will praise
And all His glory show;
The righteous He will high exalt
And bring the wicked low. Scripture: Psalm 75 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES

From foes that seek my life;
And set me high, secure, above
The rising tide of strife.
2 The workers of iniquity
Against me lie in wait;
Tho' I am innocent, O Lord,
They gather in their hate.
3 Behold their wickedness, O Lord;
To help me, O awake,
Lord God of Hosts, Thou, Israel's God,
Arise, and vengeance take.
4 My enemies with deadly rage
Renew their fierce attack;
They think the Lord will not regard,
But Thou wilt turn them back.
5 O God, my strength, on Thee I wait;
To Thee for refuge flee.
My God with mercy will defend
Triumphant I shall be.
6 O God our shield, let wickedness
And pride be put to shame.
Till all shall know that Thou dost rule,
And all shall fear Thy Name.
7 Let wickedness that raged in power
Now rage in impotence;
But I will glory in Thy strength
My refuge and defense.
8 When all the night of woe is past
And morning dawns at length,
Then I will praise Thy grace, O God,
My refuge and my strength.
9 To Thee, O god most merciful,
My thankful song I raise;
My might, my strong, secure abode,
I will proclaim Thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English Tune Title: EAGLEY

Hymnal: The Psalter #184 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflictions From the Wicked; The Righteous Hated by the Wicked; The Wicked Persecuting Spirit of First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods
Come in upon my soul;
I sink in depths where none can stand,
Deep waters o'er me roll.
2 My constant calling wearies me,
My throat is parched and dried;
My eyes grow dim while for my God
Still waiting I abide.
3 The foes who hate me unprovoked
Are strong and still increase,
Tho' to disarm their enmity
My right I yield for peace.
4 O God, my folly and my sin
Thy holy eye can see;
Yet save from shame,Lord God of Hosts,
Thy saints that wait on Thee.
5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God,
That those who seek Thy face
Should see Thy servant put to shame
And share in my disgrace.
6 It is for Thee I am reproached,
For Thee I suffer shame,
Until my brethren know me not,
And hated is my name.
7 It is my zeal for Thy abode
That has consumed my life;
Reproached by those reproaching Thee,
I suffer in the strife.
8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul,
Yet that was made my shame;
When I in sackcloth clothed myself,
Their byword I became.
9 The men who sit within the gate
With slander do me wrong,
And they who linger at their cups
Make me their jest and song.

Faith's Attitude in Trouble
Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.1 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: End of the righteous and wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics:
Blest is the man who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat:
But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
[He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Amongst the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.
His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell.
Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
Psalm 1
At length, by certain proofs, 'tis plain
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LXXIII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of the Church Particularly of Believers when offended at the Prosperity of the Wicked; Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 At length, by certain Proofs, 'tis plain
That GOD will to his Saints be kind;
That all whose Hearts are pure and clean,
Shall his protecting Favour find.
'Till this sustaining Truth I knew,
My stagg'ring Feet had almost fail'd;
I griev'd, the Sinner's Wealth to view,
And envy'd when the Fools prevail'd.
2 They to the Grave in Peace descend,
And, whilst they live, are hale and strong;
No Plague of Troubles them offend,
Which oft to other Men belong.
With Pride, as with a Chain, they're held,
And Rapine seems their Robe of State;
Their Eyes stand out, with Fatness swell'd;
They grow, beyond their Wishes, great.
3 With Hearts corrupt and lofty Talk,
Oppressive Methods they defend;
Their Tongue thro' all the Earth does walk,
Their Blasphemies to Heav'n ascend,
And yet admiring Crouds are found,
Who servile Visits duly make;
Because with Plenty they abound,
Of which their flatt'ring Slaves partake.
4 Their fond Opinion these pursue,
'Till they, with them, profanely cry
"How should the LORD our Actions view?
"Can He perceive, who dwells so high"?
Behold the Wicked, these are they,
Who openly their sins profess;
And yet their Wealth's encreas'd each Day,
And all their Actions meet Success.
5 "Then have I cleans'd my Heart, said I,
"And wash'd my Hands from Guilt in vain,
"If all the Day oppress'd I lie,
"And ev'ry Morning suffer Pain."
Thus did I once to speak intend,
But if such Things I rashly say,
Thy Children, LORD, I must offend,
And basely should their Cause betray.
Part II
6 To fathom this my Thoughts I bent;
But found the Case too hard for me,
'Till to the House of GOD I went,
Then I their End did plainly see.
How high soe'er advanc'd, they all
On slipp'ry Places loosely stand;
Thence into Ruin headlong fall,
Cast down by thy avenging Hand.
7 How dreadful and how quick their Fate!
Despis'd by thee, when they're destroy'd;
As waking Men, with Scorn do treat
The Fancies that their Dreams employ'd.
Thus was my Heart with Grief oppress'd,
My Reins were rack'd with restless Pains;
So stupid was I, like a Beast,
Who no reflecting Thought retains.
8 Yet still thy Presence me supply'd,
And thy Right-Hand Assistance gave;
Thou first shalt with thy Counsel guide
And then to Glory me receive.
Whom then in Heaven, but thee alone,
Have I, whose Favour I require?
Throughout the spacious Earth, there's none
That I besides thee can desire.
9 My trembling Flesh, and aching Heart,
May often fail to succour me;
But GOD shall inward Strength impart,
And my eternal Portion be.
For they that far from thee remove,
Shall into sudden Ruin fall,
If after other GODS they rove,
Thy Vengeance shall destroy them all.
10 But as for me, 'tis good and just,
That I should still to GOD repair;
In him I always put my Trust,
And will His wond'rous Works declare. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English Tune Title: [At length, by certain proffs, 'tis plain]
At length, by certain proofs, 'tis plain
Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P1c (1766) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked Lyrics: 1 Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Shun the broad Way that Sinners go,
Who hates the Place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as Scoffers do.
2 He loves t' employ his Morning-Light
Amongst the Statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful Hours of Night,
With Pleasure, pond'ring o'er the Word.
3 He like a Plant by gentle Streams,
Shall flourish in immortal Green;
And Heav'n will shine with kindest Beams,
On every Work his Hands begin.
4 But Sinners find their Counsels crost;
As Chaff before the Tempest flies;
So shall their Hopes be blown and lost,
When the last Trumpet shakes the Skies.
5 In vain the Rebel seeks to stand
In Judgment with the pious Race:
The dreadful Judge with stern Command
Divides him to a different Place.
6 "Strait is the Way my Saints have trod,
"I blessed the Path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked Road;
"And down it leads to endless Pain." Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
The Kingship of Jesus Christ
Hymnal: The Psalter #3 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Rulers Wicked; The Wicked Fate of; The Wicked Warned First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage
And the people vainly dream
That in triumph they can wage
War against the King supreme?
Christ His Son a scoff they make,
And the rulers, plotting, say:
Their dominion let us break
Let us cast their yoke away,
Their dominion let us break,
Let us cast their yoke away.
2 But the Lord will scorn them all,
Calm, He sits enthroned on high;
Soon His wrath will on them fall,
Sore displeased He will reply:
Yet according to My will
I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain;
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear,
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear.
Mingle trembling with your mirth.
Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way
His consuming wrath should break;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take;
But supremely blest are they
Who in Christ their refuge take.

Prayer for the Oppressed
Hymnal: The Psalter #19 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Judgments On the Wicked; The Wicked Persecuting Spirit of; The Wicked Warned First Line: Why dost Thou stand afar Lyrics: 1 Why dost Thou stand afar,
O Lord,in our distress?
And why dost Thou conceal Thyself
When troublous times oppress?
2 Do Thou, O Lord, arise;
O God, lift up Thy hand;
Forget Thou not the suff'ring poor,
The humble in the land.
3 Their foes Thou dost behold,
Their wrongs Thou wilt repay;
The poor commit themselves to Thee,
Thou art the orphan's stay.
4 Thou, Lord, hast heard their prayer
With humble hearts drew nigh;
Thou also wilt revive their strength
And ever hear their cry.
5 Defend the fatherless
And all who are oppressed,
That they by human pride and pow'r
May be no more distressed. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: CLIFTON

Hymnal: The Psalter #23a (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Wicked Condemnation of; The Wicked Warned First Line: The God Who sits enthroned on high Lyrics: 1 The God Who sits enthroned on high
The foolish in their heart deny;
Not one does good; corrupt in tho't,
Unrighteous works their hands have wrought.
2 From heav'n the Lord with searching eye
Looked down the sons of men to try,
To see if any understood
And sought for God, the only good.
3 From righteousness they all depart,
Corrupt are all, and vile in heart;
yea, ev'ry man has evil done;
Not one does good, not even one.
4 Has knowledge with the wicked failed,
That they My people have assailed,
That they delight in works of shame,
And call not on Jehovah's Name?
5 Thy lowly servant they despise,
Because he on the Lord relies;
But they shall tremble yet in fear,
For to the righteous God is near.
6 O that from Zion His abode
Salvation were on us bestowed!
When God His exiles shall restore,
They shall in song His grace adore. Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English Tune Title: BLACKBURN
