Psalms 17:1

• [Psa 17:1] Lord, Hear The Right

  Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere, Send Thine approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thine almighty aid, Let me Thy lovingkindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. O guard me well as one would guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry; Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o’ershadow me. Mine enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life’s treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth’s joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.

• [Psa 17:1] Sweet Savior! In Thy Pitying Grace

  Sweet Savior! in Thy pitying grace Thy sweetness to our souls impart; Thou only Lover of our race Give healing to the wounded heart; Oh! hear Thy contrite servants’ cry, And save us, Jesu! lest we die. Long-suffering Jesu! hear our prayer Who weep before Thee in our shame; We have no hope but Thee; O spare, Lord, spare us from th’undying flame; Oh! hear Thy contrite servants’ cry, And save us, Jesu! lest we die. All we have broken Thy command; Lord, help us for Thy mercies’ sake; Deliver us from Satan’s hand, And safely to Thy kingdom take; Oh! hear Thy contrite servants’ cry, And save us, Jesu! lest we die. We flee for refuge to Thy love, Salvation of the helpless soul; Pour down Thy radiance from above, And make these sin-worn spirits whole: Oh! hear Thy contrite servants’ cry, And save us, Jesu! lest we die.

Psalms 35:17

• [Psa 35:17] How Long Must We Wait?

  Long have we sought eternal life, Years have we waited in sin and strife; In darkness groped, sad misery’s mate, How long? how long must we wait? Refrain How long? how long must we wait? How long? how long must we wait? The lab’rers still are few; Our Lord has need of you, How long? how long must we wait? You know the love of God manifold, Ages have bro’t you their grace untold; Peace and a hope, no fear of fate. How long? how long must we wait? Refrain The agèd faint and long for the Friend, Dark shadows gathering bring the end; Fades now the light, ’tis growing late. How long? how long must we wait? Refrain

Psalms 58:1

• [Psa 58:1] Do Ye, O Men, Speak Righteousness

  Do ye, O men, speak righteousness And upright judgment mete? Nay, in your hearts is wickedness, And in your hands deceit, And in your hands deceit. The wicked, from their earliest days, In sin are gone astray, With froward heart, in foolish pride, From wisdom turned away, From wisdom turned away. The God of vengeance will destroy The wicked from His sight; The Lord will bring to naught their power And scatter all their might, And scatter all their might. The good shall triumph and rejoice, And this shall be confessed: On earth the God of justice reigns, And righteousness is blest, And righteousness is blest.

Psalms 72:1

• [Psa 72:1] Great God, Whose Universal Sway

  Great God, whose universal sway The known and unknown worlds obey, Now give the kingdom to Thy Son, Extend His power, exalt His throne. Thy scepter well becomes His hands, All Heav’n submits to His commands; His justice shall avenge the poor, And pride and rage prevail no more. With power He vindicates the just, And treads th’oppressor in the dust; His worship and His fear shall last, Till hours, and years, and time be past. As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall He send His influence down; His grace on fainting souls distils, Like heav’nly dew on thirsty hills. The heathen lands that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at His first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight. The saints shall flourish in His days, Dressed in the robes of joy and praise Peace, like a river from His throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

• [Psa 72:1] Hail To The Lord’s Anointed

  Hail to the Lord’s anointed, great David’s greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; To take away transgression and rule in equity. He comes in succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, were precious in His sight. By such shall He be fearèd while sun and moon endure; Beloved, obeyed, reverèd; for He shall judge the poor Through changing generations, with justice, mercy, truth, While stars maintain their stations, or moons renew their youth. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, And righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. Arabia’s desert ranger to Him shall bow the knee; The Ethiopian stranger His glory come to see; With offerings of devotion ships from the isles shall meet, To pour the wealth of oceans in tribute at His feet. Kings shall fall down before Him, and gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For He shall have dominion o’er river, sea and shore, Far as the eagle’s pinion or dove’s light wing can soar. For Him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end: The mountain dews shall nourish a seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit shall spread and flourish and shake like Lebanon. O’er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, all blessing and all blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever, His Name to us is Love.

• [Psa 72:1] O God, To Thine Anointed King

  O God, to Thine anointed King Give truth and righteousness; Thy people He will justly judge And give the poor redress. Then every fruitful mountainside Shall yield its rich increase, And righteousness in all the land Shall bear the fruit of peace. The poor man’s cause He will maintain, The needy He will bless, And He will break the strength of those Who would the poor oppress. So men shall fear Thee while the sun In daily splendor glows, And through all ages, while the moon On earth its light bestows. Like rain upon the newborn grass, That falls refreshingly, Like gentle showers that cheer the earth, So shall His coming be. The righteous in His glorious day Shall flourish and increase, The earth, until the moon shall fade, Shall have abundant peace.

• [Psa 118:19] The Glorious Gates Of Righteousness

  The glorious gates of righteousness Throw open unto me, And I will enter them with praise, O Lord, my God, to Thee, And I will enter them with praise, O Lord, my God, to Thee. This is Thy temple gate, O Lord, The just shall enter there; My Savior, I will give Thee thanks, O Thou, that hearest prayer, My Savior, I will give Thee thanks, O Thou, that hearest prayer. The stone rejected and despised Is now the cornerstone; How wondrous are the ways of God, Unfathomed and unknown! How wondrous are the ways of God, Unfathomed and unknown! In this the day that Thou hast made Triumphantly we sing; Send now prosperity, O Lord, O Lord, salvation bring, Send now prosperity, O Lord, O Lord, salvation bring. Hosanna! Ever blest be he That cometh in God’s Name; The blessing of Jehovah’s house Upon you we proclaim; The blessing of Jehovah’s house Upon you we proclaim. The light of joy to shine on us The Lord our God has made; Now be the precious sacrifice Upon His altar laid; Now be the precious sacrifice Upon His altar laid. O Lord, my God, I praise Thy Name, All others names above; O give Him thanks, for He is good And boundless is His love; O give Him thanks, for He is good And boundless is His love. O praise the Lord, for He is good; Let all in Heav’n above And all His saints on earth proclaim His everlasting love; And all His saints on earth proclaim His everlasting love.
