Psalm 17
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics:
Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love:
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword, the hand is thine.
Their hope and portion lies below:
'Tis all the happiness they know,
'Tis all they seek; they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs.
What sinners value I resign;
Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
This life's a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world to which I go
Hath joys substantial and sincere:
When shall I wake and find me there?
O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near and like my God!
And flesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
My flesh shall slumber in the ground
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Savior's image rise.

Hear Our Prayer, O Lord
Psalm 17: Lord, hear the right, attend my cry
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, hear the right, attend my cry Lyrics:
1Lord, hear the right, attend my cry,
unto my pray’r give heed,
That doth not in hypocrisy
from feigned lips proceed.
2And from before thy presence forth
my sentence do thou send:
Toward these things that equal are
do thou thine eyes intend.
3Thou prov’dst mine heart, thou visit’dst me
by night, thou didst me try,
Yet nothing found’st; for that my mouth
shall not sin, purpos’d I.
4As for men’s works, I, by the word
that from thy lips doth flow,
Did me preserve out of the paths
wherein destroyers go.
5Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide
in those thy paths divine,
So that my footsteps may not slide
out of those ways of thine.
6I called have on thee, O God,
because thou wilt me hear:
That thou may’st hearken to my speech,
to me incline thine ear.
7Thy wondrous loving-kindness show,
thou that, by thy right hand,
Sav’st them that trust in thee from those
that up against them stand.
8As th’ apple of the eye me keep;
in thy wings shade me close
9From lewd oppressors, compassing
me round, as deadly foes.
10In their own fat they are inclos’d;
their mouth speaks loftily.
11Our steps they compass’d; and to ground
down bowing set their eye.
12He like unto a lion is
that’s greedy of his prey,
Or lion young, which lurking doth
in secret places stay.
13Arise, and disappoint my foe,
and cast him down, O Lord:
My soul save from the wicked man,
the man which is thy sword.
14From men, which are thy hand, O Lord,
from worldly men me save,
Which only in this present life
their part and portion have.
Whose belly with thy treasure hid
thou fill’st: they children have
In plenty; of their goods the rest
they to their children leave.
15But as for me, I thine own face
in righteousness will see;
And with thy likeness, when I wake,
I satisfy’d shall be.

To my just Plea, and sad Complaint
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 To my just Plea, and sad Complaint,
attend, O righteous Lord,
And to my Pray'r, as 'tis unfeign'd,
a gracious Ear afford.
2 As in thy Sight I am approv'd,
so let my Sentence be;
And with impartial Eyes, O Lord,
my upright Dealing see.
3 For thou hast search'd my Heart by Day,
and visited by Night;
And, on the strictest Trial, found
its secret Motions right.
Nor shall thy Justice, Lord, alone
my Heart's Designs acquit;
For I have purpos'd, that my tongue
shall no Offence commit.
4 I know what wicked Men would do,
their Safety to maintain;
But me thy just and mild Commands
from bloody Paths restrain.
5 That I may still, in spite of Wrongs,
my Innocence secure,
O, guide me in thy righteous Ways,
and make my Footsteps sure.
6 Since heretofore I ne'er in vain
to Thee my Pray'r address'd;
O! now, my God, incline thine Ear
to this my just Request.
The Wonders of thy Truth and Love
in my Defence engage,
Thou whose Right-hand preserves thy Saints
from their Oppressors Rage.
Part II
8.9 O! keep me in thy tend'rest Care;
Thy sheltring wings stretch out,
To guard me safe from savage Foes,
that compass me about;
10 O'ergrown with Luxury, inclos'd
in their own Fat they lie;
And with a proud blaspheming Mouth
both God and Man defie.
11 Well may they boast; for they have now
my Paths encompass'd round;
their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd
and couching on the Ground.
12 In Posture of a Lion set,
when greedy of his Prey;
Or a young Lion, when he lurks
within a covert Way.
13 Arise, O Lord, defeat their Plots,
their swelling Rage controul:
From wicked Men, who are thy Sword,
deliver thou my soul:
14 From worldly Men, thy sharpest Scourge,
whose Portion's here below;
who, fill'd with earthly Stores, aspire
no other Bliss to know.
15 Their Race is num'rous, that partake
their Substance while they live;
Their Heirs survive, to whom they may
the vast Remainder give.
16 But I, in Uprightness, thy Face
shall view without Controul;
And, waking, shall its Image find
reflected in my Soul.

Arise, my gracious God,
And make the wicked flee;
They are but thy chastising rod,
To drive thy saints to thee.
Behold, the sinner dies,
His haughty words are vain;
Here in this life his pleasure lies,
And all beyond is pain.
Then let his pride advance,
And boast of all his store;
The Lord is my inheritance,
My soul can wish no more.
I shall behold the face
Of my forgiving God;
And stand complete in righteousness,
Washed in my Savior's blood.
There's a new heav'n begun,
When I awake from death,
Dressed in the likeness of thy Son,
And draw immortal breath.

Psalm 17: Lord, When Your Glory Appears
A Psalm of David
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Jehovah hearken to the right Lyrics: 1 Jehovah hearken to the right,
attend to my loud cry;
And hear my pray'r that cometh forth
from lips that do not lie.
2 O from thy presence let there come,
a just decree to me:
And let thy just and holy eyes,
things that are equal see.
My HEART thou searched hast by day,
and visited by night:
Thou hast me in a furnace try'd,
and found my heart is right.
3 As for my MOUTH; as I resolv'd
my words should not transgress,
Thy righteous laws which guide the tongue;
I kept my purposes.
4 And as for WORKS of men; thy word
hath me directed so,
That I observ'd and shun'd the paths
wherein destroyers go.
5 My goings in thy narrow paths
do thou uphold and guide;
That so my footsteps thus secur'd
may never turn aside.
6 On Thee I called have, O God,
because Thou wilt me hear;
O now incline thine ear to me,
and hear my humble pray'r.
[2 Part]
7 O shew thy wondrous grace on them
whose trust on thee relies:
Who sav'st by thy right hand from those
who up against them rise.
8 O keep me now as thou wouldst keep
the apple of thine eye;
Under the shadow of thy wings
hide me continually.
9 From all the threat'ning faces of
the wicked who me waste,
And from my deadly enemies,
who me around invest.
10 In their gross fat thy are enclos'd,
boast with their mouths likewise;
11 In all our steps they compass us;
to earth they bow their eyes.
12 They like a roaring lion are,
who greedy is for prey;
Like a young lion watching in
his secret place, are they.
13 But LORD arise, his face prevent;
O make him down to bow;
And from the wicked one, thy sword,
my soul deliver thou.
14 From mortal men thy hand, O LORD,
from mortal men me save,
Who in this transient time of life
their only portion have.
Thy hidden stores their bellies fill,
and filled are their sons;
And all the rest they save and leave
to their young little ones.
15 But I in righteousness thy face
with joy shall clearly see;
And waking with thine image, I
shall satisfied be.

O Lord our guardian and our guide
Exaudi Domine
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: O Lord give eare to my just cause Lyrics: 1 O Lord give eare to my just cause,
attend when I complaine:
And heare the prayer that I put forth
with lips that do not faine.
2 And let the judgement of my cause
proceed alwaies from thee:
And let thine eyes behold and cleare
this my simplicity.
3 Thou hast well tri'd me in the night,
and yet couldst nothing find
That I have spoken with my tongue,
that was not in my mind.
4 As for the works of wicked men,
and paths perverse and ill,
For love of thy most holy Name
I have refrained still.
5 Then in thy paths that be most pure,
stay me Lord and preserve,
That from the way wherein I walk,
my steps may never swerve.
6 For I do call to thee, O Lord,
surely thou wilt me aid;
Then heare my prayer & weigh right well
the words that I have said.
7 O thou, the Saviour of all them
that put their trust in thee;
Declare thy strength on them that spurn
against thy Majesty.
8 O keep me as thou wouldest keep
the apple of thine eye,
And under cover of thy wings
defend me secretly;
The second Part:
9 From wicked men that trouble me,
and daily me annoy;
And from my foes that go about
my soule for to destroy.
10 Which wallow in their worldly wealth
and are so full and fat:
That in their pride they do not spare
to speake they care not what.
11 They lie in wait where I should passe,
with craft me to confound;
And musing mischief in their minds
to cast me to the ground.
12 Much like a Lion greedily
that would his prey embrace;
Or lurking like a Lion's whelp,
within some secret place.
13 Up, Lord, in hast prevent my foe,
and cast him at my feet:
Save thou my soule from the ill man,
and with thy sword him smite.
14 Deliver me Lord by thy power,
out of these tyrants hands:
Which now so long time raigned have,
and kept us in their bands.
15 I meane from worldly men, to whom
all worldly goods are rise:
That have no hope nor part of joy,
but in this present life.
16 Thou of thy store their bellies fil'st
with pleasure to their mind:
Their children have enough, and leave
to theirs the rest behind.
17 But I shall with pure conscience
behold thy gracious face:
So when I wake I shall be full
of thine image and grace.

O 'tis a lovely thing to see
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics:
O 'tis a lovely thing to see
A man of prudent heart,
Whose thoughts, and lips, and life agree
To act a useful part.
When envy, strife, and wars begin
In little angry souls,
Mark how the sons of peace come in,
And quench the kindling coals.
Their minds are humble, mild, and meek,
Nor let their fury rise;
Nor passion moves their lips to speak,
Nor pride exalts their eyes.
Their frame is prudence mixed with love,
Good works fulfil their day;
They join the serpent with the dove,
But cast the sting away.
Such was the Savior of mankind,
Such pleasures he pursued;
His flesh and blood were all refined,
His soul divinely good.
Lord, can these plants of virtue grow
In such a heart as mine?
Thy grace my nature can renew,
And make my soul like thine.

The Right Hand of God
Dicha grande es la del hombre
Author: Tomás M. Westrup Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Dicha grande es la del hombre
cuyas sendas rectas son;
No anda con los pecadores,
en actuar de perversión.
A los malos consejeros
deja, porque teme el mal;
Huye de la burladora
gente impía e inmoral.
2 Antes, en la ley divina
cifra su mayor placer,
Meditando noche y día
en su divinal saber;
Este, como el árbol verde,
bien regado y en sazón,
Frutos abundantes rinde
y hojas que perennes son.
3 Él prosperado en lo que emprende
y le sale todo bien;
Mas funestos resultados
los impíos siempre ven;
Porque Dios la senda mira
por la cual los suyos van;
Otra es la de los impíos:
al infierno bajarán.

Lift up your eyes to th' heavenly seats
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics:
Lift up your eyes to th' heav'nly seats
Where your Redeemer stays;
Kind Intercessor, there he sits,
And loves, and pleads, and prays.
'Twas well, my soul, he died for thee,
And shed his vital blood;
Appeased stern justice on the tree,
And then arose to God.
Petitions now, and praise may rise,
And saints their off'rings bring;
The Priest, with his own sacrifice,
Presents them to the King.
[Let papists trust what names they please,
Their saints and angels boast;
We've no such advocates as these,
Nor pray to th' heav'nly host.]
Jesus alone shall bear my cries
Up to his Father's throne;
He, dearest Lord! perfumes my sighs,
And sweetens every groan.
[Ten thousand praises to the King,
"Hosannah in the highest!"
Ten thousand thanks our spirits bring
To God and to his Christ.]

Father, Who Art Alone
Author: Edith Jones Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:7 Lyrics: 1 Father, Who art alone
Our helper and our stay,
Oh, hear us as we plead
For loved ones far away,
And shield with thine almighty hand,
And shield with Thine almighty hand
Our travelers by sea and land.
2 For Thou, our Father God,
Art present everywhere,
And bendest low Thine ear
To catch the faintest pray'r,
Waiting rich blessings to bestow,
Waiting rich blessings to bestow
On all Thy children here below.
3 Oh, compass with Thy love
The daily path they tread;
And may Thy light and truth
Upon their hearts be shed,
That, one in all things with Thy will,
That, one in all things with Thy will,
Heav’n’s peace and joy their souls may fill.
4 Guard them from every harm
When dangers shall assail,
And teach them that Thy pow'r
Can never, never fail;
We cannot with our loved ones be,
We cannot with our loved ones be,
But trust them, Father, unto Thee.
5 We all are travelers here
Along life's various road,
Meeting and parting oft
Till we shall mount to God,
At home at last with those we love,
At home at last, with those we love,
Within Thy heav'nly home above. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services Intercession for Travelers Used With Tune: LENOX

O Lord, Thou Judge of All the Earth
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth,
to whom all vengeance doth belong,
arise and show thy glory forth,
requite the proud, condemn the wrong.
2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride
shall wicked men triumphant stand?
How long shall they afflict thy saints
and scorn thy wrath, thy dreadful hand?
3 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men;
shall not he see, who formed the eye?
Shall not he hear, who formed the ear,
and judge, who reigneth, God Most High?
4 The Lord will judge in righteousness,
from him all truth and knowledge flow;
the foolish thoughts of wicked men,
how vain they are the Lord doth know.
5 That man is blest whom thou, O Lord,
with chast'ning hand dost teach thy will,
for in the day when sinners fall,
that man in peace abideth still.
6 Unless the Lord had been my help,
my life had quickly passed away;
but when my foot had almost slipped,
O Lord, thy mercy was my stay. Topics: Doubt; God His Justice; Chastisement; Danger of Delay; Imprecatory Psalms; Pride Used With Tune: THE KING'S MAJESTY Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt. 1961
