Quid gloriariss

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Why dost thou tyrant boast abroad Lyrics: 1 Why dost thou tyrant boast abroad thy wicked works to praise? Dost thou not know there is a God, whose mercies last alwaies? 2 Why doth thy mind yet still devise such wicked wiles to warp? Thy tongue untrue in forging lies is like a razor sharp. 3 On mischiefe why setst thou thy mind, and wilt not walk upright? Thou hast more lust false tales to find, than bring the truth to light. 4 Thou dost delight in fraud and guile, In mischiefe, blood and wrong: Thy lips have learn'd the flattering stile O false deceitfull tongue. 5 Therefore shall God for aye confound, and pluck thee from thy place: Thy seed root out from off the ground, and so shall thee deface. 6 The just when they behold thy fall, with feare will praise the Lord, And in reproach of thee withall, cry out with one accord: 7 Behold the man that doth not take the Lord for his defence: But in his goods his god did make, his trust his corrupt sense. 8 But I as Olive fresh and green, shall spring and spread abroad: For why? my trust all times hath been upon the living God. 9 For this therefore will I give praise to thee with heart and voice: I will set forth thy Name alwaies, wherein thy Saints rejoyce.

Why dost thou, tyrant, boast abroad

Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Why dost thou, tyrant, boast abroad thy wicked works to praise? Dost thou not know there is a God, whose mercies last always? 2 Why doth thy mind yet still devise such wicked wiles to harp? Thy tongue untrue in forging lies is like a razor sharp. 3 On mischief why sett'st thou thy mind, and wilt not walk upright? Thou lovest more false tales to find, than bring the truth to light. 4 Thou dost delight in fraud and guile, In mischief, blood and wrong; Thy lips have learnt the flatt'ring style, O false deceitful tongue! 5 Therefore the Lord shall thee confound, and pluck thee from thy place, Thy seed root out from off the ground, and utterly deface. 6 The just, when they behold thy fall, with fear will praise the Lord, And in reproach of thee withal cry but with one accord; 7 Behold the man that did refuse the Lord for his defence, But in his riches great did place his trust and confidence. 8 But I, as olive fresh and green shall spring and spread abroad, Because my trust all times hath been upon the living God. 9 For this therefore will I give praise to thee with heart and voice, I will advance thy Name always, wherein thy saints rejoice.
