Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. I Cry'd aloud, unto the Lord, And fervently I pray'd. 2. To him I pour'd out my Complaint; My Griefs before him laid. 3. When Sorrows overwhelm'd my Soul, Then thou my Path didst know: They laid their private Snares for me, Wherever I should go. 4. On my Right-hand I look'd, and saw, That not one Friend was there; All Refuge fail'd, ev'n Flight was fled, None for my Soul did care. 5. To Thee, O Lord, I cry'd, and said, "Thou art my Hope alone; "My Portion, while on Earth I live, "And when from hence I'm gone. 6. I, to the last Extreams, am brought, O hear my earnest Cry; Me from my Persecutors save, Who stronger are than I. 7. From this dark Prison bring my Soul, That I thy Name may praise; The Just shall me surround, for thou Shalt me reward with Grace. Scripture: Psalm 142

O Lord, my Heart's not haughty grown

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Lord, my Heart's not haughty grown, Nor lofty are my Eyes; In Things too great, and high, for me. Is not mine Exercise. 2. Surely, I have composed my Mind, And carry'd it as mild. As Children weaned from the Breast; My Soul's a weaned Child. 3. Let Isr'el learn, in God alone, The God whom they adore, To place their steadfast Hope, and Trust, Both now, and evermore. Scripture: Psalm 131

O Lord, our Ears have often heard

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Lord, our Ears have often heard, Our Fathers have us told Thy mighty Works, wrought in their Days, And in the Times of old. 2. How thou did'st punish, and eject, With thine avenging Hand, The heathen Nations; and did'st place Thy People in their Land. 3. For they, Possession of the Land, Gain'd not, by their own Sword, Neither could their own Arm them save; But thy Right-hand, O Lord, Thine Arm, and Presence, with their Hosts, And thy peculiar Grace. 4. Thou art my King; O God, command Safety for Jacob's Race. 5. Then, in thy Strength, we'll still go on, To push down all our Foes; And, thro' thy Name, tread under Foot, Such as shall us oppose. 5. For I'll not trust my Bow, nor Sword, The Victory to gain. 7. But thou hast sav'd us from our Foes, And made their Hopes in vain. 8. Therefore, in Thee, we make our Boast, And glory all Day long; Forever will we praise thy Name, In our triumphant Song. Second Part 9. But, now, thou hast rejected us, With Shame, hast cast us down; Our Armies thou no more dost lead, Nor us with Vict'ry crown. 10. Therefore, before our Enemies, Which spoil us, we have fled. 11. Thou, some, hast giv'n, as Sheep for Meat, And others captive led. 12. Thy People thou hast sold for nought; Nor art the richer found. 13. We're to our Neighbours a Reproach; A Scorn to all around. 14. Thou us among the Heathen, hast, A taunting Proverb, made; By foolish People we're contemn'd, They at us shake the Head. 15. Therefore, from Morn, to Night, our Eyes See nothing but Disgrace; And, cover'd with confounding Shame, I'm forc'd to hide my Face. 16. Because I daily hear the Voice Of our insulting Foe; Who us reproach, and Thee blaspheme, And all their Malice show. Third Part 17. Yet, we have not forgotten Thee; Nor false in Covenant prov'd 18. Our Heart's not turned back, nor Steps, From thy just Ways, remov'd. 19. Tho' thou haft sorely broken us, Where cruel Dragons roar; And with the gastly Shades of Death, Thy People cover'd o'er. 20. Had we, our God's great Name, forgot, Or to strange Gods bow'd down; 21. Would'st thou not this have searched out? To Thee all Hearts are known. 22. Yea, we're as Sheep for Slaughter mark'd; For thy Sake, kill'd all Day. 23. Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise; And cast us not away. 24. O wherefore do'st thou hide thy Face, Unmindful of our Thrall? 25. Our Soul is bow'd to Dust, on Earth Our Bodies prostrate fall. 26. Arise, and for our Help appear, The heathen Powers shake; Redeem us from our Enemies Hand, For thy great Mercy's Sake. Scripture: Psalm 44

Thrice blest the Man, who ne'er thinks fit

Hymnal: NVPD1752 #1 (1752) Lyrics: 1 Thrice blest the Man, who ne'er thinks fit To walk as wicked Men advise; To stand in Sinners Way, nor sit With those who God, and Man, despise. 2. Whose pious Soul directs his Way By sacred Writ, his sweet Delight, Thro' all the Labours of the Day; And meditates thereon by Night. 3. As planted Trees, by Rivers Sides, Yield timely Fruit, a vast Encrease; So in fresh Verdure he abides, And God his handy work will bless. 4. But those that spurn at sacred Laws, Shall no such Favour with him find; For God will blast them, and their Cause, And whirl, as Chaff, before the Wind. 5 However, in the Judgment Day The Wicked shall not stand the Light; Mix wit the Righteous shall not they, Nor any formal Hypocrite. 6. The Lord, who now with Pleasure view, Will then applaud, the just Man's Way; But who his Name and Word abuse, Shall feel his Wrath, and melt away. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Why do the Heathen furious rage

Hymnal: NVPD1752 #2 (1752) Lyrics: 1 Why do the Heathen furious rage, And in such Tumults join? Why do the People madly storm, And such vain Schemes design? 2 The Gentile Kings unite their Strength, And Israel's Priests contrive; Against the Lord they bend their Force, Against his CHRIST they strive. 3 "Come say they, let us break their Bands "Shall we them Homage pay; "We'll ne'er submit to their hard Yoke, "We'll cast their Cords away. 4 But he that sits in Heav'n, beholds, With a disdainful Smile; The Lord, their feeble Strength derides, Their Malice, and their Guile. 5 Then, in his Wrath, he'll speak aloud. And thunder in their Ears; While hov'ring Vengeance fills their Souls, With dreadful vexing Fears. 6 "Know, mine anointed King, I've fix'd "On Zion's sacred Plot; 7 " 'Tis my Decree; thou art my Son, "This Day I Thee begot. 8 "Ask me, I'll give the Heathen Tribes "For thine Inheritance; "Thro' utmost Bounds of Earth, thy Sway "Shall gloriously advance. 9 "Thou shalt them crush, who dare rebel, "As with an Iron Rod; "Them, as a Potter's Vessel, dasht, "In Pieces spread abroad. 10 Be wise, now, O ye Kings, and hear. Earth's Judges, his mild Voice: 11 Serve ye the Lord with Fear, before Him tremble, and rejoice. 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest flaming Wrath You in your Way surprize; His Wrath's but kindling yet: they're blest Whose Trust on him relies. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

Why do the Heathen madly rage

Hymnal: NVPD1752 #3 (1752) Lyrics: 1. Why do the Heathen madly rage. And in assembled Tumults join? Why do rash People thus engage, And such vain fruitless Schemes design? 2. Kings of the Earth their Force unite, And Rulers their deep Plots contrive; Against the Lord they vent their Spite, Against his CHRIST they boldly strive. 3 Come, say they, let us break their Bands, "Shall we our Homage to them pay? "We'll ne'er be Slaves to their Commands, "We'll cast their servile Cords away. 4. But he who sits enthron'd on high, Beholds with a disdainful Smile; The Lord who rules above the Sky, Derides their Strength, their Rage, and Guile. 5. Then to them, in his Wrath, he speaks. While Vengeance in his Thunder rowls; His hot Displeasure on them breaks, And sore Vexation fills their Souls. 6. "Know ye, that I have fix'd the Throne, "Of mine anointed King most sure, "On Zion's sacred Hill alone; "There it forever stands secure. 7 "This is the firm Decree I've made, " 'Tis past in Heav'n, and changeth not; "Thou art my Son, (Jehovah said) " This very Day I Thee begot. 8. "Ask, now, my Son, I'll freely give; "Inherit thou the Heathen Lands; "Thro' utmost Bounds of Earth receive "Subjection to thy just Commands. 9. "Thou shalt them crush, who dare oppose, "As with a massy Iron Rod; "Thou shalt in Pieces dash thy Foes, "As Potters Vessels spread abroad. 10. Be wise, now, O ye Kings, and hear. Ye Judges of the Earth, his Voice: 11. Serve ye the Lord with inward Fear, Before him tremble, and rejoice. 12. Kiss ye the Son, lest in the Way Ye perish, when his Anger glows; Lest kindling Wrath your Crimes repay, Bless'd all in him their Trust repose. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English
