5 The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath raised him from the dead, PSALM 2. SECOND PART. S. M. 3 The nations that rebel Must feel his iron rod: He'll vindicate those honours well, 4 Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; 5 If once his wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies PSALM 2. THIRD PART. C. M. WH Why did they cast his laws away, 2 The Lord that sits above the skies, He speaks with vengeance in his eyes, 3 I call him my eternal Son, And raise him from the dead; 5 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, 6 With humble love address his throne; PSALM 3. FIRST PART. C. M. MY God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. And all my growing sins appear 3 But thou, my glory and my strength, 4 I cried, and from his holy hill, I called my Father, and my God, 5 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, I woke and wondered at the grace 6 What though the hosts of death and hell, All armed, against me stood: Terrors no more shall shake my soul; 7 Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace, My God hath broke the serpent's teeth, 8 Salvation to the Lord belongs; PSALM 3. SECOND PART. L. M. LORD, how many are my foes, 2 Tired with the burdens of the day, He raised my head to see the light, PSALM 4. FIRST PART. L. M. GOD of GOD of grace and righteousness, Hear and attend when I complain: Thou hast enlarged me in distress, Bow down a gracious ear again. 2 Ye sons of men, in vain ye try To turn my glory into shame; How long will scoffers love to lie, And dare reproach my Saviour's name? 3 Know that the Lord divides his saints From all the tribes of men beside; He hears and pities their complaints, For the dear sake of Christ that died 4 When our obedient hands have done A thousand works of righteousness, We put our trust in God alone, And glory in his pardoning grace. 5 Let the unthinking many say, "Who will bestow some earthly good?"` But, Lord, thy light and love we pray; Our souls desire this heavenly food. 6 Then shall my cheerful powers rejoice At grace divine, and love so great; Nor will I change my happy choice For all their wealth and boasted state. PSALM 4. SECOND PART. C. M. LORD, thou wilt hear me when I pray; I am for ever thine: I fear before thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin. 2 And while I rest my weary head 3 I pay this evening sacrifice; And when my work is done, 4 Thus with my thoughts composed to peace, PSALM 5. C. M. LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear To thee will I direct my prayer, 2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone 3 Thou art a God before whose sight 4 But to thy house will I resort feet 5 O may thy Spirit guide my 6 My watchful enemies combine |
