The triumphant Song of Moses
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #288 (1742) Scripture: Exodus 15 First Line: I to the Lord will sing Lyrics: 1 I to the Lord will sing, for he
Triumph'd in glory so;
He both the horse and rider down
Into the sea did throw.
2 Jah is my strength and song, and he
Is my salvation:
He is my God, I'11 him prepare
An habitation.
My father's God he is also,
I'll him exalt: the same
3 Jehovah is a man of war,
Jehovah is his name.
4 He Pharaoh's chariots and his host
Into the sea hath cast.
His chosen captains drowned were
As the red fen they pass'd,
5 The depths them hid, to th' bottom they
Like as a stone sunk down.
6 Jehovah, thy right hand in pow'r
Most glorious is renown'd.
Lord, thy right hand in pieces dash'd
Those that against thee rose.
7 And in thy excellency great,
Thou haft o'erthrown thy foes.
Thou did'st send forth thy wrath, which as
The stubble did them waste.
8 Together gather'd were the waves
Ev'n with thy nostrils blast:
The floods stood upright as an heap,
The depths in mid-sea froze.
9 The foe said, I'll pursue, I'll take,
I will the spoil dispose.
My lust on them shall filled be,
My sword draw out will I:
My hand shall them again possess,
Or wholly them destroy.
10 Thou with thy wind didst on them blow,
The sea them covered soon:
They in the mighty waters sunk,
Like lead sunk quickly down.
[2]
11 Lord, who's like thee among the gods,
Who like thee, glorious
In holiness, fearful in praise,
In doings marvellous!
12 When thou didst forth thy right hand stretch
The earth them swallowed.
13 The people whom thou hast redeemed,
Thou hast in mercy led.
Thou by thy strength shalt guide them to
That holy seat of thine.
14 The folk shall hear and fear, and grieve
Shall they of Palestine.
15 Then Edom's dukes shall be amaz'd,
And Moab's mighty men
Trembling shall seize, away shall melt
All Canaan's dwellers then.
16 Fear upon them and dread shall fall
By thine arm's mightiness.
They like a stone shall quiet lie,
Until thy people pass:
Until thy people Lord shall pass
Which thou hast purchased:
17 Till thou hast brought them in, and in
Thy mount established.
The mount of thine inheritance,
O Lord, the place wherein
Thou hast prepar'd thy sanctuary
For thee to dwell therein:
Which thy hands, Lord, establish'd have.
18 Jehovah he shall reign;
For evermore, through ages all,
For ever sovereign.
19 For Pharaoh's horse and chariots his
And horsemen down they went
Into the sea, Jehovah then
The sea upon them sent.
20 The waters of the sea on them
He turned back in haste,
But on dry land thro' midst of sea
The sons of Isra'l pass'd.
Miriam's Answer:
21 Sing ye unto the Lord, for he
Triumph'd in glory so,
He both the horse and rider down
Into the sea did throw

The triumphant Song of Moses
The Prophetic song of Moses
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #291 (1742) Scripture: Deuteronomy 32 First Line: O heavens give ye attentive ear Lyrics: 1 O heavens give ye attentive ear
To what I shall declare,
And also thou, O earth, shalt hear
What my mouth's sayings are.
2 My doctrine like the rain shall drop,
My speech distil shall as
The dew, as rain on tender herbs,
And like the show'rs on grass.
3 Because that I Jehovah's name
Will publish all abroad:
See that ye greatness attribute
Therefore unto our God.
4 That rock his work most perfect is,
For's ways all judgment be,
A God of truth, and without sin,
Both just and right is he.
5 But they defil'd themselves, their spot,
Is not his children's stain,
A crooked generation they
And froward do remain.
6 O foolish people and unwise.
The Lord thus pay do ye;
Thy father who thee bought and made,
And fstablish'd is not he?
7 Remember days of old, the years,
Of ev'ry age mark well;
Thy father ask, and he'il thee shew;
Thine elders will thee tell.
8 When as the highest shar'd their lots
Unto the nations;
When as the separation he
Did make of Adam's sons.
The borders of the people he
Did set where they should dwell,
According to the number of
The sons of Israel.
9 Because Jehovah's portion
His chosen people be,
The lot of his inheritance,
Jacob's posterity.
10 He found him in a desert land,
Where the wild beasts did cry:
He led him round, him taught, him kept
As th' apple of his eye.
ii As th' eagle stirreth up her nest,
And flutters o'er her young,
Spreads out her wings, and takes them up,
Bears them her wings upon:
12 Ev'n in such wise Jehovah led
Him up and down alone;
A strange or idol god with him
There was not any one.
13 On the high places of the earth
He caused him to ride,
That with the plenteous fields increase,
He might be satisfy'd.
The honey from the rock also,
To suck he did him make;
He from tke flinty rock likewise,
Did make him oyl to take.
14 On butter thou of kine, and on
The milk of sheep didst feed;
With fat of lambs,and goats, and rams,
That were of Bashan's breed.
Together with the fatness of
The wheaten kidnies fine:
Thou of the grapes didft also drink
The blood, refined wine.
[2]
15 But Jesurun then waxed fat,
And wantonly did spurn:
Thou art with fatness covered,
Art thick with fatness grown.
Then he forsook the mighty God,
Who had him magnify'd,
The rock of his salvation
He also vilify'd.
16 They with strange gods his jealousy
Did kindle as a fire,
And with abominations
They did provoke his ire.
17 They did to devils, not to God,
Their sacrifice prefer;
To gods unknown, new up-starts whom
Their fathers did not fear.
18 The rock who thee begotten hath,
Remembred thou hast not:
The mighty God who formed thee,
Thou also hast forgot.
19 When this Jehovah saw, then he
Despising, them did loath;
Because of the provoking of
His sons and daughters both.
20 He said, I'll hide my face from them,
What is their end I'll see:
For they a very froward race;
They faithless children be.
21 With that which is no god they have
Me mov'd to jealousy;
They have provoked me to wrath,
With idols vanity.
With what's no people I'll also
Them move to jealousy;
Them with a foolish nation too
To wrath provoke will I.
[3]
22 For fire enkindled in my wrath
Shall burn to hell below,
And waste the earth with her increase,
Hills bottoms fire also.
23 I mifchiefs will upon them heap,
Mine arrows on them spend ;
24 With hunger burnt, with heat devour'd,
With bitter plagues them end.
The teeth of cruel beasts I will
Upon them send also:
The poison too of serpents vile
Which on the dust do go.
25 The sword without, and dread within,
Young men and maids bereave;
Which neither shall the suckling babe,
Nor hoary headed leave.
26 Yea into corners I did say,
That I would scatter them;
I'll their remembrance make to cease
Among the sons of men.
27 But that I fear'd their foes wou'd rage,
Lest they would carry strange,
And say, our high hand, not the Lord,
Hath wrought this mighty change.
28 For they're a nation counselless,
Nor understanding find,
29 O were they wifs, this understood,
Their latter end would mind.
30 How should one chase a thousand, two
Ten thousand put to flight?
Had not their rock them fold, and them
Jehovah shut up quite.
31 Because their rock unto our rock
Is not to be compared;
Yea, tho' our enemies themselves
As judges mould be heard.
32 For their vine is of Sodom's vine,
And of Gomorrah's field;
Their grapes are grapes of gall, to them
They bitter clusters yield.
33 Their wine as dragon's pois'n, as asps
Their cruel venom is.
34 Is not this stor'd with me, and seal'd
Among my treasuries?
[4]
35 Vengeance is mine and recompence,
In time their foot shall slide:
For their wo-day is nigh, and soon
Evil shall them betide,
36 Because the Lord his folk shall judge,
For's servants he'll repent.
When none shut up or lest he sees,
And that their power is spent.
37 Then he shall say those gods of theirs,
Now where, O where are they?
Where is the rock on whom they did.
Their expectation stay?
38 Which eat their sacrifices fat,
Drank their wine offerings too,
Let them arise, help you, and be
A hiding-place for you.
39 See now that I, ev'n I am he,
And there's no god with me'
I kill and quicken, wound and heal,
None from my hand can free;
40 For I to heav'n lift up mine hand,
And say I live for aye.
41 If my bright sword I whet, and if
My hand on judgment stay;
I'll render vengeance to my foes,
I'll pay them that me hate;
42 I'll make mine arrows drunk with blood,
And flesh my sword shall eat.
With blood of slain, and those who fall
Into captivity.
Even from the first, revenge I take
Upon the enemy.
43 Sing joyfully ye nations, with
Those who his people be:
Because that of his servants all
Revenge the blood will he.
And to his adversaries he
Will render vengeance due,
And he will mercy to his land,
And to his people shew.

Hymnal: PHSS1742 #297 (1742) Scripture: Judges 5 First Line: In that he Israel hath reveng'd Lyrics: 1 In that he Israel hath reveng'd,
Bless ye therefore the Lord:
2 In that the people offered
Themselves of free accord.
3 Give ear, O kings, ye princes hear,
Sing to the Lord I will;
I, even I'll sing to the Lord,
The God of Israel.
4 Lord, when thou went'st from Seir, when thou
Didst march from Edom's field;
The earth did shake, the heav'ns did drop,
The clouds their show'rs distill'd.
5 Before the presence of the Lord,
The mountains melting fell;
Ev'n Sina, from before the Lord,
The God of Israel.
6 In days of Shamgar, Anath's son,
High-ways in Jael's days,
Untrodden were: the passengers
Did travel through by-ways.
7 The villagers did cease to be,
They ceas'd in Israel:
Till that I Deb'rah rose; I rose
A mother in Israel.
8 New gods they chase, then cruel wars
Entred their gates within,
With forty thousand Isra'lites
No shield nor spear was seen.
9 My heart to Israel's rulers is,
Who did of free accord
Present themfelves among the folk:
Bless ye therefore the Lord.
10 Speak ye your minds, all ye that do
Upon while asses ride;
Ye that in judgment sit, and ye
That walk the way beside.
11 Who from the archer's noise are freed,
There shall they now record,
In places where they water draw,
The just acts of the Lord.
His righteous acts to them who dwell
In Israel's towns relate,
Then shall the people of the Lord
Go down unto the gate.
[2]
12 Wake, wake, O Deborah, wake, awake,
A song sing; Barak rise;
Abinoam's son, and captive lead,
Thou thy captivities.
13 Unto the remnant he gave rule
Above the nobles then
Among the folk: the Lord gave me
Rule over mighty men.
14 From Ephraim a root against
Proud Amalek there was.
Thy followers, O Benjamin,
Among thy folk did pass,
From out of Machir governours
Deseended also then,
And out of Zebulun came they
That handle writer's pen.
15 Then Issachar, ev'n Issachar,
His peers with Deborah went,
And also Barak was on foot,
Into the valley sent.
Because of those divisions that
In Ruben did appear,
Great fears and anxious thoughts of heart
Among us then there were.
16 Why didst, thou with the sheep-folds stay
The bleating flocks to hear?
For Ruben his divisions sad
Heart-searchings great there were.
17 Gilead by Jordan stay'd; and why
Did Dan in ships reside?
On sea-shore Amur why remain,
And in his creeks abide?
18 But Zebulun and Napthali
Were people who did yield
Their lives in danger unto death
In the high open field.
[3]
19 The kings came and they fought, then fought
The kings of Canaan,
In Tanach by Megiddo's streams;
No money prize they wan.
20 From heav'n they fought, the stars by course
Fought against Sisera:
21 Then Kishon's brook, old Kishon's brook,
That brook them swept away.
O thou my soul hast trod down strength.
22 Then broke their horse-hoofs were;
By pransing, trampling, pransings of
Their mighty horses there.
23 Curse Meroz, curse her dwellers, curse,
Jehovah's angel said:
For they came not to aid the Lord,
Against the strong to aid.
24 Jael the Kenite, Heber's wife,
'Bove women bless shall be:
Above the women in the tent,
A blesed one is she.
25 He water ask'd; she gave him milk,
Him butter forth she fetch'd
26 In lordly dish: then to the nail,
She forth her left hand stretch'd;
Her right the workman's hammer held,
And Sisera struck dead:
She pierc'd and struck his temples through,
And then smote off his head.
27 He at her feet bow'd, fell, lay down,
He at her feet bow'd, where
He fell: ev'n where he bowed down,
He fell destroyed there.
[4]
28 Out of a window Sisera
His mother look'd, and said,
The lattess through, in coming why
So long his chariot staid ?
His chariot-wheels why tarry they?
29 Her ladies wise reply'd,
Yea to herself the answer made,
30 Have they not sped? she cry'd
The prey to each, a maid or twain,
Divided have not they?
To Sifera have they not shar'd
A divers-colour'd prey?
Of divers colour'd needle-work,
Wrought curious on each side,
Of various colours, meet for necks
Of those who spoils divide?
31 So perish let thine enemies all,
O Lord; but let all those
Who do him love, be like the sun
That in his strength forth goes.

My horn in Jah is lift on high,
My mouth enlarg'd is o'er my foe,

He raiseth up, and bringeth low.
8 The poor he up from dust doth take,
He beggar lifts the dunghill fro.
To give him place with princely lords.
To fix Him on a glorious throne;
For earth's foundations are the Lord's,
And he hath set the world thereon.
9 His holy ones their feet he will
Preserve so that they shall not fail;
The vile in darkness shall be still,
For no man shall by strength prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord
Shall broken be to pieces small
And he from heaven shall accord
To thunder forth upon them all.
The borders of the earth the Lord
Shall justly judge, and he likewise
Unto his king shall strength afford,
And make his oynted's horn to rise. Languages: English

David's mournful Elegy
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #302 (1742) Scripture: 2 Samuel 1:17 First Line: Upon the places high is slain Lyrics: 19 Upon the places high is slain
The flow'r of Israel.
How are the mighty fallen down:
20 In Gath this never tell:
Nor shew't in streets of Askelon,
Lest Philistines rejoyce,
Lest daughters of th' uncircumcis'd
Should make triumphant noise.
21 Ye mountains high of Gilboah
Left there be never dew.
Nor rain, nor fields of offerings
Let ever be on you.
For there the mighty one his shield
Receiv'd disgraceful foil:
The shield of Saul, as he had not
Anointed been with oyl.
22 The bow of Jon'than did not turn
Back from the blood of slain,
From fat of mighty, and Saul's sword
Did not return in vain.
23 Most lovely Saul and Jonathan,
And pleasant did abide
Whilst they did live and in their death
Them nothing did divide
They swifter than the eagles were,
The lions did excell
24 In strength. O weep ye over Saul,
Daughters of Israel.
Who did in scarlet you array,
With deckings manifold,
Who did on your apparel lay
The ornaments of gold.
25 In midst of the fierce battle how,
The mighty fallen lie.
O Jonathan cut off wast thou,
Upon thy places high!
26 O thou my brother Jonathan,
I am diftress'd for theem
A loving dear companion
Thou hast been unto me.
Thy love to me in wonder past
The love of women far:

The weapons are of war! Languages: English

O blessed man that walks not in
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PI (1742) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 O blessed man that walks not in
Th' advice of wicked men,
Nor standeth in the sinner way,
Nor scorners seats sits in.
2 But he upon Jehovah's law
Doth set his whole delight,
And in his law doth meditate
Both in the day and night.
3 He shall be like a planted tree
by water-brooks which shall
In his due season yield his fruit,
Whose leaf shall never fall.
And all he doth shall prosper well.
4 The wicked are not so:
But they are like unto the chaff
Which wind drives to and fro.
5 Therefore shall not ungodly men
In judgement stand upright,
Nor in th' assembly of the just
Shall stand the sinful wight.

Acknowledgeth the way;
Whereas the way of wicked men
Shall utterly decay.

Why rage the heathen furiously
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PII (1742) Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 Why rage the heathen furiously,
Vain things the people muse?
2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,
And princes plotting use.
With one consent against the Lord,
Against his Christ also,
3 Let us asunder break their bands,
And their cords from us throw.
4 He that in heaven sits shall laugh,
The Lord deride them shall.
5 Then to them in his ire he'll speak,
In's wrath sore vex them all.
6 But I anoint my king upon
Zion my holy hill.
7 The counsel that establish'd is
Declare abroad I will.
8 The Lord said, Thou'rt my Son, this day
I thee begotten have;
Ask thou of me, and for my lot
The heathen I will give;
And of the earth thou shalt possess
The utmost coast abroad.
9 Thou shalt them break as potters sherd,
And crust with iron rod,
10 And now ye kings be wise, be learn'd
Earth's judges ye that are.
11 Serve ye the Lord with reverence,
Rejoyce with trembling fear.
12 Kiss ye the son lest he be wroth,
And ye fall in the way,
When his wrath but a little burns,
Bless'd all that on him stay.

How many up against me stand?

From's holy hill me answered. Selah

Upon the cheek-bone; thou likewise
The teeth hast of the wicked broke.

Thy blessing doth and shall remain. Languages: English

Jehovah, O rebuke me not
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PVIb (1742) Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, O rebuke me not
When thou shalt angry be;
And in thine indignation hot,
O do not chasten me;
2 O Lord, because that weak am I,
Be gracious unto me:
Jehovah, heal thou me, for why
My bones they vexed be.

With tears I watered.
7 With grievous indignation
Consumed are mine eyes:
And they are old and dim become
'Mongst all mine enemies.
8 All ye that work iniquity
Away from me be gone:
Because the Lord hath heard the cry
Of my complaining moan.

Jehovah will my prayer unto
Vouchsafe a gracious ear.

For I to thee will pray.
3 Thou in the morn my voice shalt hear,
Lord in the morning I
Will unto thee direct my prayer,
And will look up on high.
4 For thou art not a God that will
In wickedness delight,
Nor shall with thee dwell any ill,
5 Nor fools stand in thy fight:
Craftsmen of sin thou hat'st all them,
Thou shalt them 'stroy that lies:
6 The Lord will oath the bloody man,
The them that guile devise.
7 But I will to thy house draw near
In thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear
Towards thy holy place.
8 Conduct me in thy righteousness
By reason of my spies:
O Lord, thy ways most strait express
Also before mine eyes.
9 For in their mouth no faith they have,
Their inward part is wrong:
Their throat is as an open grave,
They flatter with their tongue.
10 O God, make thou them wholly waste,
Them from their plots let fall:
Out in their heaps of sin them cast,
For 'gainst thee fret they all.
11 But let all joy that trust in thee,
Shout ever let the same,
For thou defend'st them: glad let be
In thee that love thy name.
12 For thou, Lord, wilt thy blessing yield
Unto the righteous one:
And wilt him crown, as with a shield,
With acceptation.

Enter into thy house will I:
I in thy fear my self will bow
Before thy house of sanctity.

Lead me forth in thy righteousness:
Before my face thy way likewise

From their own plots let them fall far;
Out in their heaps of sin them cast,

Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PVII (1742) Scripture: Psalm 7 First Line: O Lord my God, I do repose Lyrics: 1 O Lord my God, I do repose
My confidence in thee:
Form all my persecuting foes
Save and deliver me.
2 Lest like a renting lion he
My soul in pieces tear,
He tears, and to deliver me
There doth not one appear.
3 O Lord, that art a God to me,
If this thing done have I,
And if that in my hands there be
Wrongful iniquity:
4 If ill rewarded him have I
With me who was at peace
(Who causeless was mine enemy,
Yea I did him release.)
5 My soul pursue then let my foe,
Take it, yea tread to clay
My life, and in the dust also
Let him my honour lay:
6 Because mine en'mies rage, arise,
Lord, in thy wrath up stand:
Awake thou up for me likewise,
Thou judgment didst command.
7 The peoples congregation so
Shall round encompass thee,
And for the same return do thou
Unto thy place on high.
8 The Lord the peoples judge shall be;
Jehovah judge thou me,
After my righteousness in me,
And mine integrity.
[2]
9 Let cease the wicked's malice now,
But the just ratify,
Because, O righteous God, even thou
The hearts and reins doth try.
10 For God my shield, them that are right
In heart, he saved hath.
11 God that doth judge the righteous wight,
God daily kindleth wrath.
12 Unless that turning he repent,
His sword he sharp will whet:
Already he his bow hath bent
And hath it ready set.
13 Thy instruments of death for him
He ready doth prepare:
His arrows ready makes for them
That persecutors are.
14 Behold he shall in travel be
With vain iniquity:
And mischief fore conceiv'd hat he
But shall bring forth a lie.
15 A pit he digged hath likewise,
He delved deep the same,
But fall'n into the ditch he is
That he himself did frame.
16 His own mischievous travel shall
Upon his head turn down;
His dealing violent shall fall
Likewise upon his crown.
17 According to his righteousness
Jehovah praise will I;
And to his name a Psalm address,
Who is the Lord most high.

Who hast above the heavens set
Thy Majesty to dwell!
2 Out of the mouth of sucking babes
Thou fittest strength also,
That thou might'st still thine enemies
And self-revenging foe.

Thy fingers work which are:
The moon together with the stars,
The which thou didst prepare:

In mind thou should'st him have?
And what the son of man whom thou
To visit dost vouchsafe?
5 For than the angels thou hast him,
A little made more low;
With glory thou hast crowned him,
With majesty also.
6 About thy handy-works thou hast
Giv'n him dominion;
All things thou hast under his feet
Put in subjection.
7 The sheep and oxen all of them
Also the field-beast; yea
8 The fowls that in the air do fly,
And fishes of the sea;
Of those that pass thro' paths of seas,
What thing soever else.

O how thy name excells!

2 I will be glad and joy in thee,
Most high I'll sing thy Name.
3 In turning back, my foes they'll fall,
And perish at thy sight.
4 For thou maintain'st my right and cause,
In throne sitt'st judging right.

From them tat do me hate;

Thy praises all my show:
And that in thy salvation
I may rejoyce also.

The pit that they had made:
Their foot is taken in the net
Which privily they laid.
16 By judgment which he executes,
Jehovah is made known:
The wicked's snar'd in's handy work,
Deep meditation.
17 The wicked shall be turned down
Into the burning pit;
All nations that the mighty God
Continue to forget.
18 Because the needy ones shall not
Forgotten be alway?
The expectation of the poor
For aye shall not decay:
19 O let not wretched man prevail,
But O Jehovah rise;
The heathen people in thy sight
Let judged be likewise.
20 Jehovah do thou put in fear
Ev'n ev'ry one of them:
That so the nations they may know
That they be sorry men. Selah.

Thy self in times of strait.
2 In pride the wicked persecutes
The poor afflicted weight:
Caught be they in their plots forecast.
3 For of his hearts desire
The wicked boasts: and bless he doth
The churl, that stirs God's ire.
4 The wicked one according to
His countenances pride
Will not inquire: that there's no God
So all his thoughts abide.
5 His ways do always bring forth grief,
On high thy judgments be
Above his sight: his pressing foes
Puff at them all will he.
6 Within his heart he thus hath said,
I shall not moved be,
From age to age that am not yet
In ill adversity
7 His mouth with cursing filled is,
Deceits and fallacy,
Under his tongue perverseness is,
Also iniquity.
8 In lurking places of the towns
He sits; in secret dens
He slays the harmless, 'gains the poor
His eyes down shily bends.
9 He closely lurks as lion lurks
In den the poor to catch:
He lurks and trapping them in's net
Th' afflicted poor doth snatch.
10 Down doth he crouch, and to the dust
He humbly bows withal,
That so a multitude of poor
In his strong paws may fall
11 He saith in's heart, God hat forgot,
He hides his face away,
So that he will not see this thing,
Unto eternal aye.

12 Jehovah rise thou up, O God
Lift up thine hand on high,
Cast not the meek afflicted one
Out of thy memory.

Make inquisition.
14 Thou see'st, for thou mark'st wrong and spight
With thy hand to repay.
The poor leaves it to thee: thou art
Of fatherless the stay.
15 The wicked's arm in pieces break,
And of the evil one
Search thou out his impiety,
Until thou findest none.

And to eternal aye
Out of his land the heathen folk
Are perished away.

2 The Lord's my rock, my fort likewise
And Saviour mine, my God, my strength,
My shield on whom my trust relies,
My safety's horn, my tow'r likewise.
3 Upon Jehovah I will call
Who to be praised worthy is;
So from my foes be sav'd I shall.
4 Death's sorrows me encompassed,
And floods of Belial frighted me.
5 Hell's pangs me round environed;
The snares of death prevented me.
6 In my straits on the Lord call'd I,
And to my God cry'd; he did hear
My voice from's temple, and my cry
Before him came into his ear.
7 Then th'earth did shake and quake, likewise,
Mov'd hills foundations shook at's ire.
8 Smoak from his nostrils did arise
And from his mouth devouring fire,
By it the coals enkindled were.
9 Likewise the heavens he down bow'd
And he descended; also there
Was at his feet a gloomy cloud.
10 And he on cherubs rode apace,
Yea on the wings of wind he flew.
11 He darkness made his secret place
His covert round about him drew,
Dark waters, and thick clouds of skies.
12 From brightness that before him was
His thickned clouds did pass likewise
Hail-stones and coals of fire did pass.
[2]
13 Jehovah thundered forth also,
Within the heavens in his ire,
The highest caus'd his voice to go
Hail-stones and burning coals of fire,
14 Yea he his arrows did send out,
And bruising he them scattered:
And lightnings he did hurl about,
And them with dread discomfited.
14 The channels where the waters past
Were seen, the ground-works of the world
Appear'd at thy rebuke, at blast
Of thy displeasure's breath, O Lord.
16 He from above sent, he me set
The waters great he drew me for;
17 From my strong foes, me free he set
From them that hated me also.
For they were mightier than I.
18 They me prevented in the day
Of that my dark calamity.
Yet was the Lord for me a stay.
19 And he led me a large place to,
He sav'd me, for he did delight
10 In me. The Lord repay'd me so,
According as I did aright.
After the pureness of my hands
He gave a recompence to me.
21 Because I kept the Lord's commands,
Nor I from God went wickedly.
22 Fro judgements all were in my sight:
Nor from me his decrees put I:
23 And I before him was upright,
Me kept from mine iniquity.
[3]
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me
According as I did aright;
After mine hands integrity,
That did appear before his sight.
24 With persons merciful that are
Thou merciful thy self wilt show;
Thou upright wilt thy self declare
With such as upright are also.
26 With such as hollow purity,
That thou art pure thou wilt declare;
For thou wilt turn thy self away
Against them all that froward are.
27 Because thou safety wilt afford
To poor folk; but high looks suppress.
28 But thou wilt light my lamp, the Lord
My God will lighten my darkness,
29 For through a troop by thee i ride;
And by my God leap'd o'er a wall.
30 God's way intire, the Lord's word try'd;
That trust in him he's shield to all.
31 For who is God the Lord but he?
Or who a rock our God besides?
32 It's God with strength that girdeth me
And me in perfect way doth guide.
33 He makes my feet like as a roe,
And on my high place makes me stand!
34 Mine arms do break the brazen bow;
So well to war he learns my hand.
35 And of thy saving health the shield
thou hast bestowed upon me;
And thy right hand hath me upheld,
Thy meekness made me great to be.
[4]
36 Thou under me my steps mad'st large
So that my ankles did not slide.
37 My foes pursued, and o'er charge
I turn'd not till they were destroy'd.

They at my feet did fall subdu'd.
39 Fro thou hast girded me likewise
Unto the war with fortitude.
Thou hast subdued under me
Those that did up against me rise,
40 My foes their necks thou gavest me
That I might waste mine enemies.
41 They cry'd; but none to save thy find:
To God, but with no answer meet.
42 I beat them then as dust i'th' wind,
And cast them out as dust i'th' street.
43 And thou hast me delivered
From people that contentious be:
Thou of the heathen mad'st me head,
The folk I knew not, shall serve me.
44 They'll at first hearing me obey;
Themselves shall strangers yield to me.
45 The strangers sons shall fade away,
And from their closets frighted be.

46 Give Lord, and let my rock be blest:
God of my health exalted be.
47 God that for me revenge express'd,
And brings down people under me.
48 He sav'd me from mine enemies;
And thou didst lift me higher than
Those that did up against me rise;
And freed me from the violent man.
49 I will therefore to thee confess
With thanks the heathen folk among,
Jehovah to thy name express
My praises will in a song.
50 He giveth great salvation
Unto his king; and doth display
His mercy to's anointed one,
To David and his seed for aye. Languages: English

To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXXII (1742) Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, wherefore hast thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? and why
Art thou so far from my help
And from words of my cry?
2 My God, I in the day time cry,
but me thou dost not hear;
Also by night and unto me
No quiet rest is there.
3 Nevertheless thou holy art,
Who constantly dost dwell,
Amongst the thankful praises of
Thy people Israel.
4 Our fathers heretofore in thee
Have put their confidence,
They trusted have, and thou to them
Didst give deliverance.
5 They unto thee did cry aloud,
And were preserved found,
In thee they put their confidence,
And nought did them confound.
6 But I a worm and not a man,
Of men a very scorn:
And I among the people am
Despised as forlorn.
7 All they that do upon me look,
A scoff at me do make;
They with contempt shoot out the lip,
The head in scorn they shake.
8 Upon the lord he roll'd himself,
Let him now rid him quite;
Let him deliver him, because
In him he doth delight.
9 But thou art he that me out of
The belly didst forth take:
When I was on my brother's breasts,
To hope thou didst me make.
10 I from the tender womb have been
Committed unto thee;
Yea from my mother's belly thou
Hast been a God to me.
[2]
11 Be not thou far away from me;
For tribulation
Approacheth very near at hand,
And helper there is none.
12 Great many bulls on ev'ry side
Have me encompassed;
The mighty bulls of Bashan have
Me round environed.
13 With their wide open'd mouths on me
They gaping so appear,
As if that each a ravening
And roaring lions were.
14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones
Disjointed are likewise;
Like unto melted wax my heart
Amidst my bowels lies.
15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd,
And my tongue cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
Of death brought me thou hast.
16 For dogs have compass'd me about,
Th' assembly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through
My hands and eke my feet.
17 My bones I may then number all;
They look'd, they did me view.
18 My cloaths among them they did part;
Lots for my coat they threw.
19 But thou Lord be not far; my strength
Haste thou to succour me.
20 My soul from sword, my darling from
The pow'r of dogs set free.
21 Out of the lion's mouth also;
Oh, saved that I were!
For thou from horns of unicorns
Didst me vouchsafe to hear.
22 Thy name I will declare to them
That brethren are to me;
Amidst the congregation I
Will praises give to thee.
[3]
23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise,
All Jacob's seed do ye
Him glorify, and dread him all
Ye Isra'ls seed that be.
24 For he th' affliction of the poor
Loaths not, nor doth despise;
Nor hides his face from him, but hears
When unto him he cries.
25 Within the congregation great,
My praise is of thee still:
Before them that in reverence,
Perform my vows I will.
26 The meek shall eat and be suffic'd;
Jehovah praise shall they
That do him seek; your heart shall live
Unto perpetual aye.
27 All th' Ends of th' earth remember shall
And turn unto the Lord;
And thee all heathen families
To worship shall accord
28 Because unto Jehovah doth
The kingdom appertain;
Likewise among the nations he
Is ruler sovereign.
29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall
All who to dust descend,
(Who cannot keep alive his soul)
Before his face shall bend.
30 With service a posterity
Him shall attend upon,
Which to the Lord shall counted be
A generation.
31 Come shall they, and his righteousness
By them declar'd shall be
Unto a people yet unborn,
That done this thing hath he.

Afflicted poor also.

What shall make me dismay'd?
The Lord is of my life the strength,
Who shall make me afraid:
When wicked men mine enemies,
And foes in battle come
Against me to eat my flesh,
They stumble and fell down.
3 If that an host against me come,
My heart undaunted is:
If war against me should arise,
I am secure in this.
4 One thing I asked of the Lord,
Which still I will request,
That I of all my life the days
May in the Lord's house rest.
To view the beauty of the Lord,
And in his temple seek.
5 For in his tent, i'th' evil day
He will me hidden keep:
He will me hide in secresy
Of his pavilion;
And will me highly lift upon
The rock's munition.
6 Moreover at this time mine head
On high shall lifted be
Above mine enemies, who do
About encompass me:
Therefore in's tent I'll sacrifice
Of joy and offering;
Unto Jehovah sing will I,
Year, I will praises sing.
7 When as I with my voice do cry,
Me, O Jehovah hear:
Have mercy also upon me,
And unto me give ear.
8 O seek ye for my countenance,
(When as thou saidst to me)
Lord, I will seek thy countenance,
Mine hears did answer thee.
9 O hide not thou thy countenancee
Away from me therefore,
Thy servant put thou not away
In thy displeasure sore.
O God of my salvation,
Do not from me depart:
Nor yet forsake me utterly,
For thou my helper art.
10 My father and my mother both,
Though they do me forsake,
Yet will Jehovah gathering
Unto himself me take.
11 Jehovah teach thou me the way,
And be a gulde to me,
In righteous paths, because of them
That mine observers be.
12 Give me not up unto the will
Of my fierce enemies,
For witness false against me stand,
And breathe out cruelties:
13 Which had o'ercome me, but that I
Believed to see,

Of them that living be.

Thy self there strengthening stay:
And so my heart he strengthen shall:

Do thou deliver me.
2 Bow down to me thine ear with speed,
Let me deliverance have,
My rock of strength, and house of fence,

And fortress mine wilt be:
Therefore for thy name sake, O do

Which to ensnare me they
Full privily for me have set:
Because thou art my stay.
5 Into thy hands my spirit I
Reposing do commit;

Thou hast redeemed it.
6 Who lying vanities embrace,
Such men have I abhorr'd;
But as for me, I wholly place
My trust upon the Lord.
7 I in thy mercies will be glad,
And joy, because that thou
Didst view my straits, in anguish sad

But in the place of liberty

9 O Lord, because distress'd am I,
In mercy send relief!
My soul, my belly, and mine eye,
Consumed are with grief.
10 Because my life with sorrow quails,
With sighs my years decay:
And for my sins my vigour fails,
My bones do pine away.
11 To all my foes a scorn am I,
Chiefly my nieghbours to.
A fear to friends, they that me spie
Without, did flee me fro.
12 I as a dead man am forgot,
That's out of memory;
And like unto a broken pot,
Ev'n such an one am I.

The slandering did hear:
On every side me round about
There was a trembling fear.
While as that they against me did
Together council take,
They craftily have purposed,
My life away to make.
14 But O Jehovah, upon thee
My confidence doth stand?

From the hands of mine enemies
Do thou deliver me,
And from the hand of them likewise
That my pursuers be

Thy servant do thou make:
O give to me salvation,
Ev'n for thy mercies sake.
17 O Lord, let me not be asham'd,
For call'd on thee I have:
O let the wicked men be sham'd,
And silent in the grave.
18 Let lying lips be silenced;
'Gainst him that is upright,
That do such grievous speeches spread
In pride and in despite.
19 Oh how great good hast thou in store
Laid up, and wrought for them,
Who fear and trust in thee before
The sons of earthly men!
20 Thou in the secret of thy face
Shalt hide them from man's pride,
From strive of tongues in covert place
Thou shalt them safely hide.
21 O let Jehovah blessed be,
Because he hath made known
His kindness wonderful to me,
Within a fenced town.
22 For I in haste said, i am cast
Out from before thine eyes;
My suit for grace yet heard thou hast,
When I to thee did cry.
23 O love the Lord all ye his saints,
the faithful he doth guard,
But he unto proud doers grants
A plentiful reward.
24 See that encouraged you be,
And let your heart wax strong,
All whosoever hopefully
Do for Jehovah long.

From all God sets him free;

Of them shall broken be.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked man,
And whosoever hate
The righteous man, ev'n all of them
Shall sure be desolate.
22 Their souls that do Jehovah serve
He freely doth redeem:
Nor utterly shall any swerve,
That put their trust in him.

9 For with thee is the spring of life,
Light in thy light we see:
O stretch thy loving kindness to
Such as acknowledge thee.
10 To them that upright are in heart,
Stretch out thy gracious love.
11 Let no proud foot against me come,
Nor wicked hand me move.

That work iniquities:
They are cast down and never shall
Be able to arise. Languages: English
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the Servant of the Lord
A Psalm of David
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXXXVII (1742) Scripture: Psalm 37 First Line: Fret not thy self because of them Lyrics: 1 Fret not thy self because of them
That evil workers be;
Nor envious be against the men
That work iniquity.
2 For even like unto the grass,
Cut quickly down are they;
And like unto the tender herb,
They wither shall away.
3 Upon Jehovah put thy trust,
And be thou doing good:
So shalt thou dwell within the land,
And faith shall be thy food.
4 See that thou set thy hearts' delight
Also upon the Lord:
And then the wishes of thine heart
To thee he will afford.
5 Rowl on the Lord thy way; trust him,
And he'll it bring to pass.
6 As light thy justice he'll bring forth,
Thy judgment at noon days.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and for him
With patience do thou stay;
Fret not thy self because of him
Who prospers in his way;
Nor at the man who brings to pass
The crafts he doth devise.
8 Cease ire and wrath, leave to do ill,
Thy self fret in no wise.
9 For evil doers shall be made
By cutting down to fall;
But those that wait upon the Lord,
The land inherit shall.
[2]
10 For yet a little while and then,
The wicked shall not be:
Yea thou shall diligently mark
His place and it not see.
11 But humble men th'inheritance
Shall of the earth possess;
Also they shall themselves delight
In multitude of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just
Gnashing at him his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him because
His Day at hand he seeth.
14 The wicked have drawn out their sword,
And bent their bow have they
To cast the poor and needy down,
To kill th' upright in way.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
Their bows shall broken be.
16 The just man's little better is,
Than wicked's treasury.
17 For th' arms of wicked shall be broke,
The Lord the just doth stay.
18 The Lord doth know upright men's days
And their lot is for aye.
19 They never shall ashamed be
In any time of ill;
And when the days of famine come,
Then shall they have their fill.
20 But wicked men, Jehovah's foes,
As lambs fat shall decay:
They shall consume, yea into smoke
They shall consume away.
[3]
21 The man ungodly borrow doth,
And never doth repay;
Whereas the just man mercy shows,
And freely gives away.
22 For such as of him blessed be,
The earth inherit shall:
And they that of him cursed are
By cutting down shall fall.
23 The footsteps of a godly man
Are ordered aright,
Ev'n by the Lord, and also he
Doth in his way delight.
24 Although he fall, yet shall he not
Be utterly down cast,
Because Jehovah with his hand
Doth yet uphold him fast.
25 I have been young, and now am old,
Yet have I never seen
The just man left, so that his seed
For bread have beggars been.
26 But ev'ry day he's merciful,
And lends: his seed is blest.
27 Depart from evil, and do good,
And ever dwell at rest.
28 Because the Lord doth judgment love,
His saints forsakes not he:
Kept ever are they; but cut off
The sinner's seed shall be
29 The just inherit shall the land,
And therein ever dwell.
30 The just man's mouth doth wisdom speak
His tongue doth judgment tell.
31 The law of his God is in's heart,
None of his steps shall stray.
32 The wicked watcheth for the just,
And seeketh him to slay.
33 Jehovah will not such an one
Leave up into his hand:
Nor any such will he condemn
When judge he doth stand.
[4]
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
And he shall thee exalt,
Th' earth to inherit, when cut off
The wicked see thou shalt.
35 The wicked man I have beheld
In might power to be;
And spreading so himself abroad
Like as a green bay-tree.
36 Nevertheless he past away,
And lo then was not he;
Moreover, I did seek for him,
But found he could not be.
37 Take notice of the perfect man,
And th' upright one attend?
Because that unto such a man
Peace is the latter end.
36 But such men as transgressors be
Together perish shall:
The latter end shall be cut off
Of Men ungodly all.
39 But the salvation of the just
Doth of Jehovah come:
He is their strength to them in times
That are most troublesome.
40 Yea help and free them will the Lord;
He shall deliver them
From wicked men, because that they
Do put their trust in him.

A Psalm of David, to bring to Remembrance
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXXXVIII (1742) Scripture: Psalm 38 First Line: In wrath, Lord do not me chastise Lyrics: 1 In wrath, Lord do not me chastise:
And in thy rage correct not me.
2 For sore thine hand upon me lies,
In me thine arrows fastned be.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh,
Because thy wrath on me doth lye:
Nor in my bones is any rest,
Because of mine iniquity.
4 Because that mine iniquities
Above my head ascended are;
Like as an heavy burden lies,
Too heavy they for me to bear.
5 My wounds stink and corrupt are grown,
My foolishness doth make it so,
6 I troubled am and much bow'd down,
I all day long a mourning go.
7 Fill'd are my loins with loathsome sore,
And there's no soundness in my flesh,
8 Weak am I and sore broke, I roar
by reason of my sore distress.
9 With thee, Lord, is all my desire,
My groaning is not hid form the.
10 My heart doth pant, my strength doth tire,
And mine eyes sight is gone from me.
11 My sore my lovers stand there fro,
My friends stand off, my kinsmen eke,
12 Who seek my life, lay snares also,
Who seek my hurt they mischief speak,
And all day long imagine guile.
13 But as one deaf, I did not hear;
I as a dumb man was the while,
Whose mouth at all not open were.
14 As one that heareth not was I
And in whose mouth reproofs none were,
15 For I, O Lord, on thee rely,
O Lord my god thou wilt me hear.
16 O hear thou me because, said I,
Else they will joy o'er me with pride:
Themselves 'gainst me they magnifie,
When as my feet doth slip aside
17 For I to halt am ready still,
Also my grief abides with me,
18 For I declare my trespass will,
And for my sin will sorry be,
19 Yet ne'ertheless mine enemies
They lively are, and strong also,
Who causelessly me hate, likewise,
In number mightily do grow.
20 Moreover, they that for my good
Do render evil unto me:
Because that i do follow good,
To me they adversaries be.
21Jehovah do not me forsake,
From me O do not far depart
22 My God haste to my rescue make,
O Lord, who my salvation art.

To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David
Hymnal: PHSS1742 #PXXXIX (1742) Scripture: Psalm 39 First Line: I said I will look to my ways Lyrics: 1 I said, I will look to my ways,
Lest I sin with my tongue:
I'll keep my mouth with bit while I
With wicked am among
2 With silence I as dumb abode,
My mouth I did refrain
From speaking of the thing that's good,
And stirred was my pain.
3 My heart within me waxed hot,
While I was musing long,
In me the fire inkindled was,
Then speak I with my tongue.
4 O Lord, mine end, and of of my days,
Let me the measure learn:
That what a momentary thing
I am, I may discern.
5 Behold thou mad'st my days a span,
Mine age is nought to thee:
At's best estate, sure every man
Us wholly vanity.
6 Sure man walks in an empty show,
Vain stir they therefore make,
Who heap up wealth, but do not know
Who shall the same up take.
7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is set on thee.
8 Free me from all my trespasses,
The fool’s scorn make not me.
9 I silent was and shut my mouth,
This done because thou hast:
10 Remove thy stroke away from me,
By thy hands blow I waste.
11 When with Rebukes thou dost correct
Man for iniquity,
Thou blasts his beauty like a moth:
Sure each man’s vanity.
12 Lord hear my prayer, hark to my cry;
Nor at my tears still be:
For as my fathers all am I,
Strange sojourner with thee.
13 O turn aside a while me fro,
That I may strength recall,
Before that I from hence shall go,
And be no more at all. Languages: English

I waited patiently;
And he inclined unto me,
He also heard my cry.
2 He brought me from the dreadful pit,
Out of the miry clay;
And on a rock he set my feet,
He stablished my way.
3 A new song put he in my mouth,
Our God's praise to record;
Which many shall behold and fear,
And trust upon the Lord.
4 Blest is the Man that on the Lord
doth make his trust abide:
Nor doth the proud respect, nor such
To lies as turn aside.
[2]
5 O thou Jehovah, thou my God,
Hast many wonders wrought;
And likewise towards us thou hast
Conceiv'd many a thought.
their sum cannot be reckon'd up
In order unto thee;
would I declare and speak of them,
Beyond account they be.
6 Thou sacrifice and offering
Didst not at all desire,
Thou boar'st mine ear, no sin off'ring,
Nor burnt one dost require.
7 Then said I, lo I come: it's writ
I' th' books roll thus of me,
8 To do thy will my god I joy,
Thy laws in my heart be.
9 Within the congregation great,
Thy righteousness I shew;
Lo I have not refrain'd my lips,
Jehovah thou dost know.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness
Within my heart alone;
I have declar'd thy faithfulness,
And thy salvation
I have not from th' assembly great
Thy grace and truth conceal'd.
11 Let not thy tender mercies be
From me O Lord with-held:
Let both thy kindness and thy truth
keep me my life throughout,
12 Because innumerable ills
Have compass'd me about.
My sins have caught me, so that I
Not able am to see;
More are they than hairs of mine head,
Therefore my heart fails me.
[3]
13 Be pleas'd, Lord, to deliver me;
To help me, Lord, make haste.
14 At once abash'd and sham'd let be,
Who seek my soul to waste
15 Let them be driven back and sham'd
That wish me misery:
Let them be waste to quit their shame,
That say to me, fy, fy.
16 Let all be glad and joy in thee
That seek thee, let them say,
Who thy salvation love, the Lord
Be magify'd alway.
17 I poor and needy am, on me
The Lord yet care doth take:
My help and my deliverer thou,
My God no tarrying make.

Unto the poor attend:
The Lord will him deliverance
In time of trouble send.
2 The Lord will keep and make him live,
On Earth he blest shall be;
And give him not unto the will
Of his sore enemy.
3 Upon the bed of languishing
The Lord will strengthen him;
Thou also wilt make all his bed
Within his sickness time:
4 I said, Jehovah unto me
Thy tender grace I crave;
Heal thou my soul, because that I
Against thee sinned have.
5 Those men that be mine enemies,
With evil me defame;
When will the time come he shall die,
And perish shall his name?
6 And if he come to visit me,
He speaks vain lies in heart:
He heapeth evils, then he goes
Abroad them to impart.

7 All that me hate, against me they
Together whisper still:
Against me they imagine do
To me malicious ill.
8 Thus do they say, some ill disease
Unto him cleaveth sore:
And seeing now he lyeth down,
He shall rise up no more.
9 Moreover my familiar friend,
On whom my trust I set,
His heel against me lifted up,
Who of my bread did eat.

After the water brooks;
Ev'n in such wise, O God, my soul
After thee panting looks;

O when shall I come and appear
The face of God before?
3 My tears have been unto me meat
by night, likewise by day:
While all daylong they unto me,
Where is thy God? do say.
4 When as unto my memory
These things recal I do,
Then I pour out my soul in me:
For I with troops did go.
With them unto God's house I went
With voice of joy and praise:
I with a multitude did go,
That did keep holy days.
5 My soul, why art cast down, and why
Stirr'd in me? thy hope place
In God, for praise him yet shall I
For health is in his face.

6 My God my soul in me's cast down;
Therefore thee mind I will
From Jordan's land, and Hermonites,
And from the little hill.

Deep unto deep doth call;
Thy waves pass over me, likewise
Thy breaking billows all.

command will in the day:
And in the night his songs with me,
To God my life I'll pray.

Hast thou forgotten me?
For pressure of the enemy
Why should I mourning be?

Mine en'mies me upbraid:
While all the day, Where is thy God?
They unto me have said.

Thy self down heavily?
And wherefore in me makest thou
A stir tumultuously?
Hope thou in God, because I shall
With praise him yet advance;

Health of my countenance.

Our fathers have us told,
What works thou wroughtest in their days,
Ev'n in the times of old
2 How thy hand drave the heathen out,
And planted them thou hast;
How thou the people didst afflict,
And out thy didst them cast.
3 For by their sword they did not get
The land's possession.
Nor was it their own arm that did
Work their salvation;
But thy right hand, thine arm also,
Thy countenances light;
Because that of thine own good will
Thou didst in them delight.
4 Thou art my king, O mighty God,
Thou dost the same endure;
For Jacob by commandement
Deliverance procure.
5 Thro' thee as with an horn we will
Push down our enemies:
We thro' thy name will tread them down
That up against me rise.
6 Because it is not in my bow
That I affiance have:
Nor is it any sword of mine,
That shall at all me save.
7 But thou hast from our foes us sav'd,
And haters put to shame:
8 In God we all the day do boast,
And praise for aye thy name.
9 But now thou hast forsaken us,
And shame upon us cast:
Nor with our military troops
Gone forth to battel hast.
10 Back from before the enemy,
Thou mak'st us to recoyl:
They also that our haters be.
Do from themselves us spoil.
11 Thou hast us given like as sheep,
To slaughter that belong:
Thou hast us also scattered
The heathen folk among.
12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
For that which is no gain:
And by their prices no increase
Of riches dost obtain.
13 Unto our neighbours a reproach
Thou doest us expose:
A scorn we are and mocking stock
To them that us enclose.
14 Among the heathen people thou
A by-word dost us make,
Also among the nations,
At us their head they shake.
15 Before mine eyes continually
Abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with comfounded shame
O'er-covered is my face.
16 By reason of the enemy
And self-revenging wight.
17 Though all of this be come on us,
We have not thee forgot:
Likewise against thy covenant
Dealt falsly have we not.
18 Our hearts not turned back, nor have
Our steps from thy way stray'd.
19 Tho' us thou break'st in dragon's place
And hid'st us in death's shade.
20 Had we forgot God's name, or to
A strange God stretch'd our hands:
21 Shall not God search it out? for he
Hearts secrets understands.
22 Yea, we for thee are all day kill'd,
Counted as sheep to slay:
23 Awake, why sleep'st thou, Lord, arise,
Cast us not off for aye.
24 Thy countenance away from us
O wherefore dost thou hide?
Why dost thou mindless of our grief,
And sore distress abide?

To th' earth our bellies cleave

In mercy us relieve. Languages: English
