In God the Lord I put my trust
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In God the Lord I put my trust,
why say ye to my soul,
Unto the mountains swiftly fly
as doth the wing-ed fowl?
2 Behold, the wick-ed bend their bows,
their arrows they prepare,
To shoot in secret at those, who
sincere and upright are.
3 Of worldly hope all stays were shrunk,
and clearly brought to naught:
Alas! the just and upright man,
what evil hath he wrought?
4 But he that in his temple is
most holy and most high,
And in the highest heav'ns doth sit
in royal majesty,
5 The poor and simple man's estate
considers in his mind,
And searcheth out full narrowly
the manners of mankind;
6 And with a cheerful countenance
the righteous man will use,
But in his heart he doth abhor
all such as mischief muse;
7 And on the sinners casteth snares
as thick as hail or rain,
Brimstone and fire, and whirlwinds great,
appointed for their pain.
8 Ye see then how a righteous God
doth righteousness embrace,
And unto just and upright men
shows forth his pleasant face. Scripture: Psalm 11

In Domino confido
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #5a (1640) First Line: I trust in God, how dare ye then Lyrics: 1 I trust in God, how dare ye then
say thus my soule untill?
Flie hence as fast as any fowle,
and bide you in your hill.

and make their arrowes prest,
To shoot in secret,and to hurt
the sound and harmlesse brest.
3 Of worldly hope all staies were shrunk,
and clearely brought to nought:
Alas the just and righteous men,
what evill hath he wrought?
4 But he that in his Temple is,

And in he heavens hath his seat
of royall majesty.
The poore and siple mans estate,
considereth in his mind:
And searcheth out full narrowly
the manners of mankind:
5 And with a chearfull countenance
the righteous man will use:
But in his heart he doth abhorre
all such as mischief muse.
6 And on the sinners casteth snares,
as thick as any raine:
Fire and brimstone, and whirle-winds thick,
appointed for their paine.
7 Ye see then how a righteous God
doth righteousensse embrace:
And to the just and upright men
shewes forth his pleasant face. Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English
In Domino confido
Thomas Sternhold
1449 - 1549 Person Name: T. S. Author of "In Domino confido" in The Whole Booke of Psalmes Thomas Sternhold was Groom of the Robes to Henry VIII and Edward VI. With Hopkins, he produced the first English version of the Psalms before alluded to. He completed fifty-one; Hopkins and others composed the remainder. He died in 1549. Thirty-seven of his psalms were edited and published after his death, by his friend Hopkins. The work is entitled "All such Psalms of David as Thomas Sternhold, late Groome of the King's Majestye's Robes, did in his Lyfetime drawe into Englyshe Metre." Of the version annexed to the Prayer Book, Montgomery says: "The merit of faithful adherence to the original has been claimed for this version, and need not to be denied, but it is the resemblance which the dead bear to the living." Wood, in his "Athenae Oxonlenses" (1691, vol. I, p. 62), has the following account of the origin of Sternhold's psalms: "Being a most zealous reformer, and a very strict liver, he became so scandalized at the amorous and obscene songs used in the Court, that he, forsooth, turned into English metre fifty-one of David's psalms, and caused musical notes to be set to them, thinking thereby that the courtiers would sing them instead of their sonnets; but they did not, some few excepted. However, the poetry and music being admirable, and the best that was made and composed in these times, they were thought fit to be sung in all parochial churches." Of Sternhold and Hopkins, old Fuller says: "They were men whose piety was better than their poetry, and they had drunk more of Jordan than of Helicon." Sternhold and Hopkins may be taken as the representatives of the strong tendency to versify Scripture that came with the Reformation into England--a work men eagerly entered on without the talent requisite for its successful accomplishment. The tendency went so far, that even the "Acts of the Apostles" was put into rhyme, and set to music by Dr. Christopher Tye.
