Psalms 30:6

• [Psa 30:6] Firm Was My Health

  Firm was my health, my day was bright, And I presumed ’twould ne’er be night; Fondly I said within my heart, “Pleasure and peace shall ne’er depart.” But I forgot Thine arm was strong Which made my mountain stand so long; Soon as Thy face began to hide, My health was gone, my comforts died. I cried aloud to Thee, my God, “What canst Thou profit by my blood? Deep in the dust can I declare Thy truth, or sing Thy goodness there? “Hear me, O God of grace,” I said, “And bring me from among the dead:” Thy Word rebuked the pains I felt, Thy pardoning love removed my guilt. My groans, and tears, and forms of woe Are turned to joy and praises now; I throw my sackcloth on the ground, And ease and gladness gird me round. My tongue, the glory of my frame, Shall ne’er be silent of Thy Name; Thy praise shall sound through earth and Heav’n, For sickness healed and sins forgiv’n.

Psalms 71:1

• [Psa 71:1] In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust

  In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust; Shamed let me never be; O save me in Thy righteousness, Give ear, and rescue me. Be Thou my rock, my dwelling place, Forever mine, as now; Salvation Thou hast willed for me, My rock and fortress, Thou. Deliver me from wicked hands, Save me from men unjust, For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope, From youth Thou art my trust. Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace, From childhood’s early days; To Thee from whom I life received Will I give constant praise. Though troubles great o’ershadow me, Thou art my refuge strong, My mouth shall praise Thee all the day, Thine honor be my song. Cast me not off when hoary age Becomes my weary lot, And in the days of failing strength Do Thou forsake me not. My foes are strong and confident For I to them appear As one forsaken by his God, With none to help me near. My God, be Thou not far from me, Make haste to hear my call; Ashamed, consumed be all my foes, Dishonored let them fall. But I will ever hope in Thee, My ceaseless praise is Thine; I will declare Thy countless deeds Of truth and grace divine. Yea, I will tell the mighty acts Performed by God the Lord; Thy righteousness and Thine alone, With praise I will record.

• [Psa 71:1] My Savior, My Almighty Friend

  My Savior, my almighty Friend, When I begin Thy praise, Where will the growing numbers end, The numbers of Thy grace? Thou art my everlasting trust, Thy goodness I adore; And since I knew Thy graces first, I speak Thy glories more. My feet shall travel all the length Of the celestial road, And march with courage in Thy strength, To see my Father God. When I am filled with sore distress For some surprising sin, I’ll plead Thy perfect righteousness, And mention none but Thine. How will my lips rejoice to tell The victories of my King! My soul, redeemed from sin and hell, Shall Thy salvation bring. My tongue shall all the day proclaim My Savior and my God; His death has brought my foes to shame, And drowned them in His blood. Awake, awake, my tuneful powers; With this delightful song I’ll entertain the darkest hours Nor think the season long.
