Psalm 33: Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice Lyrics: 1Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; it comely is and right, That upright men, with thankful voice, should praise the Lord of might. 2Praise God with harp, and unto him sing with the psaltery; Upon a ten-string’d instrument make ye sweet melody. 3A new song to him sing, and play with loud noise skilfully; 4For right is God’s word, all his works are done in verity. 5To judgment and to righteousness a love he beareth still; The loving-kindness of the Lord the earth throughout doth fill. 6The heavens by the word of God did their beginning take; And by the breathing of his mouth he all their hosts did make. 7The waters of the seas he brings together as an heap; And in storehouses, as it were, he layeth up the deep. 8Let earth, and all that live therein, with rev’rence fear the Lord; Let all the world’s inhabitants dread him with one accord. 9For he did speak the word, and done it was without delay; Established it firmly stood, whatever he did say. 10God doth the counsel bring to nought which heathen folk do take; And what the people do devise of none effect doth make. 11O but the counsel of the Lord doth stand for ever sure; And of his heart the purposes from age to age endure. 12That nation blessed is, whose God Jehovah is, and those A blessed people are, whom for his heritage he chose. 13The Lord from heav’n sees and beholds all sons of men full well: 14He views all from his dwelling-place that in the earth do dwell. 15He forms their hearts alike, and all their doings he observes. 16Great hosts save not a king, much strength no mighty man preserves. 17An horse for preservation is a deceitful thing; And by the greatness of his strength can no deliv’rance bring. 18Behold on those that do him fear the Lord doth set his eye; Ev’n those who on his mercy do with confidence rely. 19From death to free their soul, in dearth life unto them to yield. 20Our soul doth wait upon the Lord; he is our help and shield. 21Sith in his holy name we trust, our heart shall joyful be. 22Lord, let thy mercy be on us, as we do hope in thee. Scripture: Psalm 33

Rejoice, Ye Righteous, in the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, This work belongs to you: Sing of His name, His ways, His Word, How holy, just and true! 2. His mercy and His righteousness Let Heav’n and earth proclaim; His works of nature and of grace Reveal His wondrous name. 3. His wisdom and almighty Word The heav’nly arches spread, And by the Spirit of the Lord Their shining hosts were made. 4. He bid the liquid waters flow To their appointed deep; The flowing seas their limits know, And their own station keep. 5. Ye tenants of the spacious earth With fear before Him stand; He spake, and nature took its birth, And rests on His command. 6. He scorns the angry nations’ rage, And breaks their vain designs; His counsel stands through every age, And in full glory shines. Used With Tune: AZMON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
