Psalm 5

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 658 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 5 First Line: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear Lyrics: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye; Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints. Thou art a God, before whose sight The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand. But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there; I will frequent thine holy court, And worship in thy fear. O may thy Spirit guide my feet In ways of righteousness! Make every path of duty straight, And plain before my face. My watchful enemies combine To tempt my feet astray; They flatter, with a base design To make my soul their prey. Lord, crush the serpent in the dust, And all his plots destroy; While those that in thy mercy trust, For ever shout for joy. The men that love and fear thy name Shall see their hopes fulfilled; The mighty God will compass them With favor as a shield.

O Jehovah, Hear My Words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 5 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.

Lord, hear the voice of my complaint

Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 5 Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the Voice of my Complaint; accept my secret Pray'r; 2 To Thee alone, my King, my God, will I for Help repair. 3 Thou in the Morn my Voice shalt hear, and with the dawning Day, To thee devoutly I'll look up, to thee devoutly pray. 4 For thou, the Wrongs that I sustain, canst never, Lord, approve; Who from thy sacred Dwelling-place all Evil dost remove. 5 Not long shall stubborn Fools remain unpunish'd in thy View: All such as act unrighteous Things, thy Vengeance shall pursue. 6 The sland'ring Tongue, O God of Truth, by thee shall be destroy'd; Who hat' st alike the Man in Blood, and in Deceit employ'd. 7 But when thy boundless Grace shall me to thy lov'd Courts restore, On thee I'll fix my longing Eyes, and humbly there adore. 8 Conduct me by thy righteous Laws; for watchful is my Foe: Therefore, O Lord, make plain the Way, wherein I ought to go. 9 Their Mouth vents nothing but Deceit, their Heart is set on Wrong; Their Throat is a devouring Grave; they flatter with their Tongue. 10 By their own Counsels let them fall, oppress'd with Loads of Sin; For they against thy righteous Laws have harden'd Rebels been. 11 But let all those who trust in thee, with Shouts their Joy proclaim; Let them rejoice, whom thou preserv'st, and all that love thy Name. 12 To righteous Men the righteous Lord, his Blessing will extend; And with his Favour all his Saints, as with a Shield, defend.
