Ut quid Domine
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #4b (1640) First Line: What is the cuase that thou O Lord Lyrics: 1 What is the cause that thou O Lord
art now so farre from thine?
and keepest close thy countenance
from us this troublous time?
2 The poore do perish by the proud
and wicked mens desire:
Let them be taken in the craft
that they themselves conspire.
3 For in the lust of his own heart
th'ungodly doth delight;
So doth the wicked praise himselfe,
and doth the Lord despight:
4 He is so proud, that right and wrong
he setteth all apart;
Nay, nay, there is no God, saith he,
for thus he thinks in heart.
5 Because his waies do prosper still,
he doth thy lawes neglect:
And with a blast doth puff against
such as would him correct.
6 Tush, tush, saith he, I have no dread,
lest my estate should change;
And why? for all adversity
to him is very strange.
7 His mouth is full of cursedness,
of fraud, deceit, and guile;
Under his tongue doth mischief sit,
and travell all the while.
8 He lieth hid in waies and holes
to slay the innocent;
Against the poore that passe him by,
his cruel eyes are bent.
9 And, like a Lyon, privily
lies lurking in his den:
If he may snare them in his net,
to spoile poore simple men.
10 And for the nonce full craftily
he croucheth down I say:
So are great heapes of poore men made
by his strong power his prey.
The second Part:
11 Tush, God forgetteth this, saith he
therefore I may be bold;
His countenance is cast aside,
he doth it not behold.
12 Arise, O Lord our God, in whom
the poore man's hope doth rest;
Lift up thy hand, forget not Lord,
the poore that be opprest.
13 What blasphemie is this to thee,
Lord dost thou not abhorre it?
To heare the wicked in their heart
say tush, thou car'st not for it?
14 But thou seest all their wickednesse,
and well dost understand,
That friendlesse and poore fatherlesse
are left into thy hand.
15 Of wicked and malicious men
then break the power for ever:
That they with their iniquity
may perish altogether.
16 The Lord shall raigne for evermore,
as King and God alone;
And he will chase the heathen folk
out of the land each one.
17 Thou hear'st (O Lord) the poore man's plaint,
their prayer and request:
Their hearts thou wilt confirme untill
thine eares to heare be prest.
18 To judge the poore and fatherlesse,
and help them to their right:
That they may be no more opprest
by men of worldly might. Scripture: Psalm 10
Ut quid Domine
What is the cause that thou, O Lord
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #X (1790) Lyrics: 1 What is the cause that thou, O Lord,
so far off now dost stand?
Why hidest thou thy face in time
when trouble is at hand?
2 The poor do perish by the proud
and wicked men's desire;
Let them be taken in the craft,
which they themselves conspire.
3 For in the lust of his own heart
th' ungodly doth delight;
So doth the wicked praise himself
and doth the Lord despite.
4 He is so proud that right and wrong
he setteth all apart;
Nay, nay, there is no God, saith he,
for thus he thinks in heart.
5 Because his ways do prosper still,
he doth thy laws neglect;
And with a blast doth puff against
such as would him correct.
6 Tush, tush, saith he, I have no dread
lest my estate should change;
And why? for all adversity
to him is very strange.
7 His mouth is full of cursedness,
of fraud, deceit, and guile;
Under his tongue there nothing is
but what is base and vile.
8 He lieth hid in ways and holes
to slay the innocent;
Against the poor that pass by him
his cruel eyes are bent.
9 And, like a lion, privily
lies lurking in his den,
That he may snare them in his net,
and spoil poor harmless men.
10 With cunning craft and subtility
he croucheth down alway;
So are great heaps of poor men made
by his strong pow'r a prey.
The Second Part.
11 Tush, God forgetteth this, saith he,
therefore I may be bold;
His countenance is cast aside,
he doth it not behold.
12 Arise, O Lord our God, in whom
the poor man's hope doth rest;
Lift up thy hand, do not forget
the poor that be opprest.
13 Why should the proud and wicked man
blaspheme God's holy name
Whilst in his heart he crieth, Tush,
God cares not for the same?
14 But thou seest all their wickedness,
and well dost understand,
That friendless and poor fatherless
are left into thy hand.
15 Of wicked and malicious men
then break the pow'r alway,
That they with their iniquity
may perish and decay.
16 The Lord doth reign for evermore
as King and God alone,
And he will chase out of the land
the heathen folk each one.
17 Thou hearest, Lord, the poor's complaint,
their prayer and their request;
Their hearts thou wilt confirm, until
thine ears to hear be prest.
18 To judge the poor and fatherless
and help them to their right,
That they may be no more oppress'd
by men of worldly might. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English
