To my complaint, O Lord my God
To my Complaint, O Lord my God
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LXXXVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 To my Complaint, O Lord my God,
thy gracious Ear incline;
Hear me, distress'd and destitute
of all Relief but thine;
2 Do Thou, O God, preserve my Soul,
that does thy Name adore:
Thy Servant keep, and him, whose Trust
relies on Thee, restore.
3 To me who daily Thee invoke,
thy Mercy, Lord, extend;
4 Refresh thy Servant's Soul, whose Hopes
on Thee alone depend.
5 Thou, Lord, art good, not only good,
but prompt to pardon too:
Of plenteous Mercy to all those
who for thy Mercy sue.
6 To my repeated humble Pray'r,
O Lord, attentive be;
7 When troubled I on Thee will call,
for Thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the Gods there's none like Thee,
O Lord, alone divine!
To Thee as much inferior they,
as are their Works to thine.
9 Therefore their great Creator, Thee,
the Nations shall adore;
Their long misguided Pray'rs and Praise
to thy blest Name restore.
10 All shall confess Thee great, and great
the Wonders Thou hast done;
Confess Thee God, Thee God supreme,
confess Thee God alone.
Part II
11 Teach me thy Way, O Lord, and I
from Truth shall ne'er depart;
In Rev'rence to thy sacred Name
devoutly fix my Heart.
12 Thee will I praise, O Lord my God,
praise Thee with Heart sincere:
And to thy everlasting Name
eternal Trophies rear.
13 Thy boundless Mercy shewn to me,
transcends my Pow'r to tell,
For Thou hsat oft redeem'd my Soul
from lowest Depths of Hell.
14 O God, the Sons of Pride and Strife
have my Destruction sought,
Regardless of thy Pow'r, that oft
has my Deliv'rance wrought:
15 But Thou thy constant Goodness didst
to my Assistance bring;
Of Patience, Mercy, and of Truth,
thou everlasting Spring!
16 O bounteous Lord, thy Grace and Strength
to me thy Servant show;
Thy kind Protection, Lord, on me,
thine Handmaid's Son bestow.
17 Some Signal give, which my proud Foes
may see with Shame and Rage,
When Thou, O Lord, for my Relief
and Comfort dost engage. Scripture: Psalm 86 Languages: English

Thy gracious ear incline;
Hear me, distress'd and destitute
Of all relief but thine.
2 Do thou, O God, preserve my soul,
That does thy name adore:
Thy servant keep, and him, whose trust
Relies on thee, restore.

Part II
9 Teach me, O Lord, thy sacred way,
That from thy truth I may not stray:
To me thy grace impart,
Unite my wand'ring heart
To fear, continually thy name:
Thy praise, my God, I will proclaim,
And with a soul sincere
Thee constantly revere.
10 Thy boundless mercy who can tell,
For thou hast sav'd my Soul from hell,
And when I call'd on thee,
Thy goodness set me free:
The sons of pride against me rise,
Not setting thee before their eyes;
And with a wicked strife,
Seek to destroy my life.
11 But thou didst thy assistance bring,
Of truth thou everlasting spring;
Thy patience and thy love,
Lord, thou shalt ne'er remove:
Turn thee, O God, some signal show,
And let all those who hate me, know,
That thou wilt pow'r extend,
Thy servants to defend.

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "To my complaint, O Lord my God" in Selections from the Psalms of David in Metre Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.
