Ad te Domine
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #11d (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: I lift my heart to thee Lyrics: 1 I lift my heart to thee,
my God and guide most just:
Now suffer me to take no shame,
for in thee do I trust.
2 Let not my foes rejoyce,
nor make a scorne of me:
And let them not be overthrown,
that put their trust in thee.
3 But shame shall them befall,
who harm them wrongfully:
Therefore thy paths and thy right waies
unto me Lord descry:
4 Direct me in thy truth,
and teach me, I thee pray:
Thou art my God and Saviour,
on thee I wait alway.
5 Thy mercies manifold,
I pray thee Lord remember:
And eke thy pitie plentifull,
for they have been for ever.
6 Remember not the faults
and frailty of my youth:
Remember not how ignorant
I have been of thy truth.
Nor after my deserts
let me thy mercy findL
But of thine own benignity
Lord have me in thy mind.
7 His mercy is full sweet,
his truth a perfect guide:
Therefore the Lord will sinners teach,
and such as go aside.
u The humble he will teach
his precepts for to keep:
He will direct in all his waies,
the lowly and the meek.
9 For all the waies of God
are truth and mercy both:
To them that keep his Testament,
the witnesse of his troth.
The second Part:
10 Now for thy holy Name
O Lord, I thee intreat
To grant me pardon for my sin,
for it is wondrous great.
11 Who so doth feare the Lord,
the lord will him direct:
To lead his life in such a way
as he doth best accept.
12 His soule shall evermore
in goodnesse dwell and stand:
His seed and his posterity
inherit shall the land.
13 All those that feare the Lord,
know his secret intent;
And unto them he doth declare
his Will and Testament.
14 Mine eyes and eke my heart
to him I will advanceL
That plucked my feet out of the snare
of sin and ignorance.
15 With mercy me behold,
to thee I make my mone:
For I am poore and desolate,
and comfortlesse alone.
16 The troubles of my heart
are multiplied indeed:
Bring me out of this misery,
necessity and need.
17 Behold my poverty,
mine anguish and my paine:
Remit my sin and mine offence,
and make me cleane againe.
18 O Lord behold my foes,
how they do still increase:
Pursuing me with deadly hate,
that faine would live in peace:
19 Preserve and keep my soule,
and eke deliver me;
And let me not be overthrowne,
because I trust in thee.
20 Let my simple purenesse
me from mine enemies thend,
Because I look as one of then,
that thou shouldst me defend.
21 Deliver Lord thy folk,
and send them some relief:
I meane thy chosen Israel,
from all their paine and grief. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: English
Ad te Domine
Ad te Domine
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #13a (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: Thou art (O Lord) my strength and stay Lyrics: 1 Thou art (O Lord) my strength and stay,
the succour which I crave:
Neglect me not, lest I be like
to them that go to grave.
2 My voice of thy suppliant heae,
that unto thee doth cryL
When I lift up my hands unto
thy holy Ark most high.
3 Repute me not among the sort
of wicked and pervert:
That speak right faire unto their friends,
but think full ill in heart.
4 According to their handy work,
as they deserve indeed:
And after their inventions
let them receive their meed.
5 For they regard nothing Gods work,
his law ne yet his lore:
Therefore will he them and their seed
destroy for evermore.
6 To render thanks unto the Lord,
how great a cause have I,
My voice, my prayer, and my complaint,
that heard so willingly?
7 He is my shield and fortitude,
my buckler in distresse:
My hope, my help, my hearts reliefe,
my song shall him confesse.
8 He is our strength and our defence,
our enemies to resist:
The health and the salvation
of his elect by Christ.
9 Thy people and thine heritage,
Lord blesse, guide and preserve:
Increase them Lord and rule their hearts,
that they may never swerve. Scripture: Psalm 28 Languages: English
Ad te Domine
Afferte Domino
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #13b (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: Give to the Lord ye Potentates Lyrics: 1 Give to the Lord ye Potentates,
ye Rulers of the world:
Give ye all praise, honour and strength,
unto the living Lord.
2 Give glory to his holy Name,
and honour him alone:
Worship him in his Majesty,
within his holy throne.
3 His voice doth rule the waters all
even as himselfe doth please:
He doth prepare the thunder-claps,
and governs all the seas.
4 The voice of God is of great force,
and wondrous excellent:
It is most mighty in effect,
and most magnificent.
5 The voice of God doth rend and break
the Cedar trees so long,
The Cedar trees of Libanon,
which are most high and strong.
6 And makes them leap like as a Calfe,
or els the Unicorne:
Not only trees, but mountaines great,
wheron the trees are borne.
7 His voice divides the flames of fire,
and shakes the wildernesse:
It makes the desert quake for feare,
that called is Cades.
8 It makes the Hinds for fear to calve,
and makes the coverts plaine:
Then in his Temple every man
his glory doth proclaime.
9 The Lord was set above the floids,
ruling the raging sea:
So shall he reigne as Lord and King,
for ever and for aye.
10 The Lord will give his people power,
in vertue to increase:
The Lord will blesse his chosen flock
with everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English
Afferte Domino
Audite haec omnes
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #24c (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: All people hearken and give ear Lyrics: 1 All people hearken, and give eare
to that which I shall tell:
2 Both high and low, both rich and poore
that in the world do dwell.
3 For why? my mouth shall make discourse
of many things most wise:
In understanding shall my heart
its study exercise.
4 I will incline mine ear to know
the parable so dark,
And open all my doubtfull speech
in meeter on my harp.
5 Whey should I feare afflictions,
or any carefull toile:
Or else my foes which at my heeles
are prest my life to spoile.
6 For as for such as riches have,
wherein their trust is most:
And they who of their treasures great
themselves do brag and boast
7 There is not one of them that can,
his brother's life redeem:
Or that can give a price to God
sufficient for him.
8 It is too great a price to pay,
none can thereto attaine:
Or that he might his life prolong?
or not in grave remaine.
9 They see wise men as well as fooles,
subject unto deaths bands:
And being dead strangers possesse
their goods, their rents, their lands.
10 Their care is to build houses faire,
and so determine sure,
To make their name right great on earth
for ever to endure.
11 Yet shall no man alwaies enjoy
high honour, wealth, and rest:
12 But shall at length tast deaths cup
as well as the bruit beast.
The second Part.
13 And though they find their foolish thoughts
to be most lewd and vaine:
Their children yet approve their talk,
and in like sin remaine.
14 As sheep into the fold are brought
they shall be laid in grave:
Death shall them eate and in that day,
the just shall Lordship have.
Their image and their royall port
shall fade and quite decay:
When as from house to pit they passe,
with wo and weale away.
15 But God will surely preserve me
from death and endless paine:
Because he will of his good grace,
my soule receive againe.
16 If any man waxe wondrous rich,
feare not I say therefore:
Although the glory of his house
increaseth more and more:
17 For when he dies, of all these things
nothing shall he receive:
His glory will not follow him,
his pomp will take her leave.
18 Yet in this life he counts himselfe
the happiest under Sun:
And others likewise flatter him,
saying all is well done.
19 And presuppose he live as long
as did his fathers old:
Yet must he needs at length give place,
and be brought to deaths fold.
20 Thus man to honour God hath brought
yet doth he not consider:
But like bruit beasts so doth he live
which turn to dust and powder Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English
Audite haec omnes
Attendite populi
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #42 (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: Attend my people to my law Lyrics: 1 Attend my people to my Law,
and to my words incline:
2 My mouth shall speak strange parables,
and sentences divine.
Which we ourselves have heard and learn'd
even of our Fathers old:
And which for our instruction,
our fathers have us told:
4 Because we should not keep it close
from them that should come after
Who should Gods power to their race praise,
and all his works of wonder:
5 To Jacob he commandment gave.
how Israel should live:
Willing our fathers should the same
unto their children give.
6 That they and their posterity,
that were not sprung up tho,
Should have the knowledge of the law,
and teach it their seed also.
7 That they might have the better hope
in God that is above:
And not forget to keep his lawes,
and his precepts in love.
8 Not being as their fathers were,
rebelling in Gods sight
And would not frame their wicked hearts
to know their God aright.
9 How went the people of Ephraim
their neighbours for to spoile:
Shooting their shafts in day of warre,
and yet receiv'd the foile?
10 For why? they did not keep with God
the covenant that was made:
Nor yet would walk or lead their lives
according to his trade.
11 But put into oblivion,
his counsell and his will:
And all his works magnifique,
which he declared still.
The second Part:
12 What wonders to our fore-fathers
did he himselfe disclose:
In Egypt land, within the field,
that call'd is Thaneos?
13 He did divide and cut the sea,
that they might passe at once:
And made the waters stand as still
as doth an heape of stones.
14 He led them secret in a cloud
by day when it was bright:
And in the night when it dark it was,
with fire he gave them light.
15 He brake the rocks in wildernesse,
and gave the people drink:
As plentifull as when the deeps
do flow up to the brink.
16 He drew out rivers out of rocks
that were both drie and hard:
Of such abundance that no floods
to them might be compar'd.
17 Yet for all this against the Lord
their sin they did increase:
And stirred him that is most high,
to wrath in wildernesse.
18 They tempted God within their hearts
like people of mistrust,
Requiring such a kind of meat,
as served to their lust.
19 Saying with murmuration,
in their unfaithfulness:
What? can this God prepare for us
a fest in wildernesse?
20 Behold he strake the stony rocks,
and flouds forthwith did flow:
But call he now give to his folk
both bread and flesh also?
21 When God heard this, he waxed worth
with Jacob and his seed:
So did his indignation
on Israel proceed.
The third Part:
22 Because they did not faithfully
believe, and hope that he
Could alwaies help and succour them
in their necessity.
23 Wherefore he did command the clouds,
forthwith they brake in sunder:
24 And raine' down Manna for them to eate,
a food of mickle wonder.
25 When earthly men with Angels food
were fed at their request:
26 He bad the East wind blow away,
and brought in the South-West.
27 He rain'd down flesh as thick as dust,
and fowle as thick as sand:
28 Which he did cast amid the place
where all their tents did stand.
29 Then did they eat exceedingly,
and all men had their fils:
Yet more and more they did desire
to serve their lusts and wils.
30 But as the meat was in their mouthes
his wrath upon them fell:
31 And slew the flower of all their youth,
and choice of Israel.
32 Yet fell they to their wonted sin,
and still they did him grieve:
For all the wonders that he wrought,
they would him not believe.
33 Their daies therefore he shortened.
and made their honour vaine:
Their years did wast and passe away,
with terror and with paine.
34 But ever when he plagued them,
they sought by and by:
35 Remembring that he was their strength,
their help and God most high.
36 Though with their mouths they did but glose,
but flatter with the Lord:
And with their tongues & in their hearts
dissembled every word.
The fourth Part.
37 For why their hearts were nothing bent,
to him nor to his trade:
Nor yet to keep or to performe
the covenant that was made.
38 Yet was he still so mercifull,
when they deserv'd to die:
That he forgave them atheir misdeeds,
and would not them destroy.
Yea many a time he tam'd his wrath,
and did himselfe advise:
And would not suffer all his whole
displeasure to arise.
39 Considering that they were but flesh,
and even as a wind,
Passing away, and cannot well
return by his own kind.
40 How oftentimes in wildernesse
did they the Lord provoke?
How did they move and stirre the Lord
to plague them with his stroke?
41 Yet did they turn againe to sin,
and tempted God esticone:
Prescribing to the holy Lord,
what things they would have done.
42 Not thinking of his hand and power
nor of the day when he
Delivered them out of the jamds
of the fierce enemy.
43 Nor how he wrought his miracles
(as they themselves beheld)
In Egypt, and the wonders that
he did in Zoan field.
44 Nor how he turned by his power,
their waters into blood:
That no man might receive his drink
at river nor at floud.
45 Nor how he sent them swarms of flies
which did them sore annoy:
And fil'd their countrey full with frogs,
which did their land destroy.
The fifth Part:
46 Nor how he did commit their fruits
unto the Caterpillar
And of the labour of their hands
he gave to the grashopper.
47 With haile-stones he destroid their vines,
so that they all were lost:
And not so much as wild fig-trees,
but he consum'd with frost.
48 And yet with haile-stones once again
the Lord their cattel smote:
And all their flocks and heards likewise
with thunder-bolts full hot.
49 He cast upon them in his ire,
and in his fury strong,
displeasure, wrath and evil spirits,
to trouble them among.
50 Then to his wrath he made a way,
and spared not the least:
But gave unto the pestilence
the man and eke the beast.
51 He strake also all the first-borne all,
that up in Egypt came:
And all the chiefe of men and beasts
within the tents of Ham.
52 But as for his own deare folk,
he did preserve and keep:
And carried them through wildernesse,
even like a flock of sheep.
53 Without all feare both safe and sound
He brought them out of thrall:
Whereas their foes with rage of seas
were over-whelmeed all.
54 And brought them out into the coasts
of his own holy land:
Even to the Mount which he had got
by his strong arm and hand.
55 And there cast out the heathen folk,
and did their land divide:
And in their tents he set the Tribes
of Israel to abide.
56 Yet for all this their God most high
they stir'd and tempted still:
And would not keep his Testament,
nor yet obey his will.
57 But as their fathers turned back,
even so they went astray:
Much like a bow that would not bend,
but slips and start away.
The sixt Part:
58 And griev'd him with their hill-altars,
with offrings and with fire:
And with their idols vehemently
provoked him to ire.
59 Therewith his wrath begain againe
to kindle in his brest:
The naughtinesse of Israel
he did so much detest.
60 Then he forsook the Tabernacle
of Shilo, where he was
Right conversant with earthly men,
even as his dwelling place.
61 Then suffered he his might and power
in bondage for to stand"
And gave the honour of his Ark
into his enemies hand.
62 And did commit them to the sword,
wroth with his heritage:
63 Their young men were devour'd with fire,
maids had no marriage.
64 And with the sword the Priests also
did perish every one:
And not a widow left alive
their death for to bemoane.
65 And then the Lord began to wake
like one that slept a time:
And like a vailiant man of warre,
refreshed is with wine.
66 With Emrods in the hinder parts
he strake his enemies all:
And put them then into a shame
that was perpetuall.
67 Then he the tent and tabernacle
of Joseph did refuse:
As for the tribe of Ephriam.
he would in no wise chuse.
68 But chose the Tribe of Jehuda,
whereas he thought to dwell,
Even the noble mount Sion,
which he did love so well.
69 Whereas he did his Temple build,
both sumptuously and sure:
Like as the earth which he hath made
for ever to endure.
70 Then chose he David him to serve,
his people for to keep:
Whom he took up and brought away
Even from the folds of sheep.
71 As he did follow th'Ewes with young
the Lord did him advance:
To feed his people Israel,
and his inheritance.
72 Thus David with a faithfull heart
his flock and charge did feed:
And prudently with all his power
Did governe them indeed. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English Tune Title: [Attend my people to my law]

Ad Dominum
Author: T. S. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #75a (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: In trouble and in thrall Lyrics: 1 In trouble and in thrall
Unto the Lord I call,
And he doth me comfort.
2 Deliver me, I say,
From lyars lips alway,
And tongues of false report.
3 What vantage or what thing
Get'st thou thus for to sting,
Thou false and flattering lyar?
4 Thy tongue doth hurt I ween,
No lesse than arrowes keen,
Or hot consuming fire.
5 Alas too long I slack
Within these tears so blac,
Which Kedars are by name.
By whom the flock elect,
And all of Isaaks sect,
Are put to open shame.
6 With them that peace do hate,
I came to peace to make
And set a quiet life.
7 But when my tale was told,
Causelesse I was controld
By them that would have strife. Scripture: Psalm 120 Languages: English

Even as a servant lifteth his,

3 Lord grant to us compassion,

For we are fil,d and overcome
with hatred and despight.

the rich and worldly-wise
Do make of us their mocking stocks,
the proud do us despise. Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English
