O Jehovah, Hear My Words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Punishment of Wicked Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words, to my thoughts attentive be; hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to thee. With the morning light, O Lord, thou shalt hear my voice arise, and expectant I will bring prayer as morning sacrifice. 2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God who delightest not in sin; evil shall not dwell with thee, nor the proud thy favor win. Evil-doers thou dost hate, lying tongues thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves violence and base deceit. 3 In the fulness of thy grace to thy house I will repair; bowing toward thy holy place, in thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, let my foes assail in vain; lest my feet be turned aside, make thy way before me plain. 4 False and faithless are my foes, in their mouth no truth is found; deadly are the words they speak, all their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, hold them guilty in thy sight, for against thee and thy law they have set themselves to fight. 5 O let all that trust thy care ever glad and joyful be; let them joy who love thy name, safely guarded, Lord, by thee. For a blessing from thy store to the righteous thou wilt yield; thou wilt compass him about with thy favor as a shield. Scripture: Psalm 5 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Punishment of Wicked Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing your praises and to thank you, O Most High, showing forth your lovingkindness when the morning lights the sky. It is good, when night is falling, of your faithfulness to tell, while with sweet, melodious praises songs of adoration swell. 2 You have filled my heart with gladness through the works your hands have wrought; you have made my life victorious, great your works and deep your thought. You, O Lord, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all his ways.
