Psalms 66:7

• [Psa 66:7] Great God! Beneath Whose Piercing Eye

  Great God! Beneath Whose piercing eye The earth’s extended kingdoms lie; Whose favoring smile upholds them all, Whose anger smites them, and they fall. We bow before Thy heavenly throne; Thy power we see, Thy greatness own; Yet, cherished by Thy milder voice, Our bosoms tremble and rejoice. Thy kindness to our fathers shown Their children’s children long shall own; To Thee, with grateful hearts, shall raise The tribute of exulting praise. Led on by Thine unerring aid, Secure the paths of life we tread; And, freely as the vital air, Thy first and noblest bounties share. Great God, our Guardian, Guide and Friend! O still Thy sheltering arm extend; Preserved by Thee for ages past, For ages let Thy kindness last!

Psalms 102:1

• [Psa 102:1] Lord, Hear My Prayer

  Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry Have ready access unto Thee; When in distress to Thee I fly, O hide not Thou Thy face from me. Attend, O Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray; For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. My heart is withered like the grass, And I forget my daily bread; In lonely grief my days I pass And sad my thoughts upon my bed. My foes reproach me all the day, My drink is tears, my bread is grief, For in Thy wrath I pine away, My days are like a fading leaf. But Thou, Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. The time for Zion’s help is near, The time appointed in Thy love; O let Thy gracious aid appear, Look Thou in mercy from above. O Lord, regard the prayer of those Who love the walls of Zion well, Whose hearts are heavy for her woes, Who sad amid her ruins dwell. Thy power and glory shall appear, And Zion’s walls shall be restored; Then all the kings of earth shall fear And heathen nations serve the Lord. The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from Heav’n with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord.
