God, My Help and Hiding Place
Out of the Depths (Psalm 130)
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Glory to God #424 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Scripture: Psalm 71:2 First Line: Out of the depths I cry to you Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to you;
O Lord God, hear me calling.
Incline your ear to my distress
in spite of my rebelling.
Do not regard my sinful deeds.
Send me the grace my spirit needs;
without it I am nothing.
2 All things you send are full of grace;
you crown our lives with favor.
All our good works are done in vain
without our Lord and Savior.
We praise you for the gift of faith;
you save us from the grip of death;
our lives are in your keeping.
3 In you alone, O God, we hope,
and not in our own merit.
We rest our fears in your good word;
uphold our fainting spirit.
Your promised mercy is my fort,
my comfort, and my strong support;
I wait for it with patience.
4 My soul is waiting for you, Lord,
as one who longs for morning;
no watcher waits with greater hope
than I for your returning.
I hope as Israel in the Lord,
who sends redemption through the Word.
Praise God for grace and mercy!

From Days of Early Youth, O God
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1498 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 71 Lyrics: 1. From days of early youth, O God,
By Thee have I been taught,
And faithfully have I declared
The wonders Thou hast wrought.
2. O gracious God, forsake me not
When I am old and gray,
That unto those that follow me
I may Thy might display.
3. Thy perfect righteousness, O God,
The height of Heav’n exceeds,
O who is like to Thee, who hast
Performed such mighty deeds?
4. Thou who hast sent me many griefs,
Wilt yet my soul restore,
And out of sorrow’s lowest depths
Wilt bring me forth once more.
5. O turn again and comfort me,
My waning strength increase,
And for Thy faithfulness, O God,
My praise shall never cease.
6. Thou Holy One of Israel,
To Thee sweet songs I raise;
The soul Thou hast redeemed from death
Shall give Thee joyful praise.
7. My enemies that seek my hurt
Thy help has put to shame;
My thankful tongue will ceaselessly
Thy righteousness proclaim. Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

to perpetuity.
2 But in thy truth and righteousness
rescue and set me free:
O bow to me thy gracious ear,
and save me speedily.
3 Be Thou the rock where I may dwell,
and constantly resort:

hands cruel, as unjust;

O now forsake not me.
10 For my malicious enemies
against me falsely speak;

together counsel take.
11 For GOD, they say, hath him forsook,
'Now persecute ye him,
And seize him Now; for there is none
'to save, or him redeem.'
12 O GOD, in this my great distress,
be Thou not far from me;

come to me speedily.

no number do I know.
16 I in the strength of God the LORD
with joy will still go on;
I'll celebrate thy righteousness,
yea mention thine alone.
17 From my youth up, O gracious GOD,
Thou hast instructed me:
And hitherto I have declar'd
the wonders wrought by Thee.
18 And now forsake me not, o GOD,
while old and grey I grow;
till to this age, and all to come
thy mighty pow'r I show.
19 Also thy righteousness, O GOD,
is high exceedingly;
Great are the tings which Thou hast wrought,
O GOD, who's like to Thee!
[4 Part]
20 Thou, who hast caused me to see
afflictions great and sore,
Wilt turn, revive me, and with joy
from depths of earth restore.
21 Yea more than this; Thou wilt ev'n cause
my greatness to abound;
And with exceeding comfort Thou
wilt wholly me surround.
22 I with the psalt'ry will Thee praise,
Thy truth, my God, make known;
And with the harp I'll sing to Thee,
O Isr'el's HOLY ONE
23 Now greatly will my lips rejoyce,
while I sing praise to Thee;
So shall my soul because thou hast,
redeem'd and set it free.
24 And as Thou those who sought my hurt,
confounded hast with shame;
My grateful tongue thy righteousness
shall ev'ry day proclaim.

JEHOVAH, in my great distress
My Lord, my God, in all distress
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LXXI (1790) Scripture: Psalm 71 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, my God, in all distress
my hope is whole in thee;
Then let no shame my soul oppress,
nor once take hold on me.
2 As thou art just, defend me, Lord,
and rid me out of dread;
Give ear, and to my suit accord,
and send me help at need.
3 Be thou my rock, to whom I may
for aid all times resort:
Thy promise is to help alway,
thou art my fence and fort.
4 Save me, my God, from, wicked men,
and from their strength and pow'r;
From folk unjust, and also them,
that cruelly devour.
5 Thou art my stay, whereon I rest,
thou, Lord of hosts, art he;
Ev'n from my youth I thought it best
still to depend on thee.
6 Thou hast me kept ev'n from my birth,
and I through thee was born;
Wherefore I will thee praise with mirth
both ev'ning and at morn.
7 As to a monster seldom seen,
much folk about me throng;
But thou art now, and still hast been
my fence and aid most strong.
8 Wherefore my mouth for ever shall
be filled with thy praise,
Also my tongue shall never fail
To honour thee always.
9 Reject me not, O Lord, I pray,
when age my limbs doth take,
And when my strength doth waste away
do not my soul forsake.
10 Among themselves my foes enquire
to take me through deceit;
And they against me do conspire,
that for my soul lay wait.
The Second Part.
11 Lay hands upon him now, they said,
for God from him is gone;
Dispatch him quick, for to his aid
most sure there cometh none.
12 Do not withdraw thyself away,
O Lord, when need shall be,
But that in time of grief I may
have speedy help from thee.
13 With shame confound and overthrow
all those, that seek my life;
Suppress them with rebuke also
that fain would work me strife.
14 But I will patiently abide
thy help at all essays;
Still more and more each time and tide
I will set forth thy praise:
15 My mouth thy justice shall record,
that daily help doth send;
For thy great benefits, O Lord,
no numbers have nor end.
16 Yet will I go and seek for one,
with thy good help, O God,
The saving health of thee alone
to shew and set abroad.
17 For of my mouth thou took'st the care,
and dost instruct me still;
Therefore thy wonders to declare
I have great mind and will.
18 And as in youth from wanton rage
thou didst me keep and stay,
Forsake me not in my old age,
and when my head is grey.
The Third Part.
19 That I thy strength and might may show
to them that now be here,
And that our seed thy power may know
hereafter many year.
20 O Lord, thy justice doth exceed,
thy doings all may see:
Thy works are wonderful indeed,
Oh, who is like to thee!
21 Thou mad'st me feel affliction sore,
and yet thou didst me save;
Yea, thou didst help and me restore,
and took'st me from the grave;
22 And thou my honour dost increase,
my dignity maintain;
Yea, thou dost make all grief to cease,
and comfort'st me again.
23 Therefore thy faithfulness to praise
I will with viol sing;
My harp shall sound thy laud always,
O Israel's ho1y King.
24 My mouth will with pleasant voice
when I shall sing to thee,
Also my soul shall much rejoice,
for thou hast set me free.
25 My tongue thy righteousness shall sound,
I daily speak it will;
For grief and shame do them confound,
that seek to work me ill. Languages: English

I have great mind and will.

thou didst me keep and stay:
Forsake me not unto mine age,
and till my head be gray.
The third Part:
19 That I thy strength & might may shew
to them that now be here:
And that our seed thy power may know
Hereafter many a yeare.
20 O Lord thy justice doth exceed,
thy doings all may see:
Thy works are wonderfull indeed,
O who is like to thee?
21 Thou mad'st me feele affliction sore,
and yet thou didst me save:
Yea thou didst help and me restore,
and tookst me from the grave.
22 And thou mine honour dost increase,
my dignity maintaine:
Yea thou dost make all griefe to cease,
and comfortst me againe.

To thee, for Help I will resort,
For thou art still my Rock and Fort.
2 From cruel and ungodly Men,
Protect my Soul and set me free;
For thou my early Youth till now,

Thy Care did safely guard my infant Days,
And brought me forth to sing thy Praise.

Thy Hand unseen supports me still;
Thy Honour therefore, and thy Praise,
My Mouth with grateful Joy shall fill:
Then cast me not, O LORD, away,

To many I a wonder am,
But thou my refuge strong.
8 Let with thy praise my mouth be fill'd,

O cast me not away:
And do thou not abandon me
When my strength doth decay.
10 For they that be mine enemies,
Those men against me speak.
Who for my soul lay wait likewise,
Together counsel take.
11 They say God hath forsaken him,
Now persecute him ye:
And apprehend ye him, for none
there is to set him free.
12 O God from me depart not far,
My God to help me haste.
13 Who my soul's adversaries are,
O let them be abash'd.
Yea, let them quite consumed be,
And covered with shame,
With soul disgrace and infamy,
That for my hurt do aim.

14 Howbeit I with patience still
On thee will waiting be;
And more and more yet add I will
To all the praise of thee.
15 My mouth shall forth thy righteousness,
And thy salvation show

No numbers do I know.
16 I in the strength of God the Lord,
Will still along go on;
Will thy righteousness record,
Yea even thine alone.
17 From my youth up, O mighty God,
Thou hast instructed me.
I hitherto have shew'd abroad
The wonders wrought by thee.
18 And now also when i am old,
And hoary hair'd, O God,
Forsake me not, till I have told
Thy mighty pow'r abroad,
Unto this genration.
And unto ev'ry one
That shall hereafter be to come,
Thy strong dominion.
19 Also thy righteousness, O God,
Is high exceedingly;
Great are the things that thou hast wrought;
O God, who's like to thee?
[4]
20 Thou who hast caused me to see
Afflictions; great and sore,
Shall turn and quicken me; and me
From depth of th' earth restore.
21 Thou shalt my greatness multiply
And comfort me always.
22 Also with tuned psaltery
I will shew forth thy praise.
O thou my God, sing forth will I
To thee my harp upon:
Thy faithfulness and verity,
O Israel's holy one
23 My lips rejoyce with shouting shall,
When I to thee shall sing:
My soul which free ye shall from thrall
to liberty didst bring.
24 Likewise my tongue shall forth declare
Thy justice all day long:
Because that they confounded are,
And sham'd that seek my wrong.

Jehovah I for safety do
In thee, all-clement God, my hopes I place

To thee I fly, as to a sure defence,
To thee, blest guardian of my innocence;
Cause thou the schemes of cruel men to fail;
Nor let their efforts 'gainst my peace prevail.
6 To me thy mercies have been always great;
Those mercies oft I gratefully repeat;
How from my birth thy goodness thou hast shewn,
How from my infant-years thou'st led me on.
7 Now of derision I an object prove;
Yet still my certain refuge is thy love;
8 Therefore, while glads the radiant sun the day,
Thine honour I, thy goodness will display.
9 Of impious foes protect me from the rage,
And not forsake me in my feeble age:
10 Constant their secret mischiefs they prepare,
And greatly hope, they shall my life ensnare:
11 "His God denies him aid; he's ours (they cry)
"Now seize him, take him, and the wretch destroy."
12 But thou, O God, thy kind assistance lend,
Baffle their hopes, and my poor soul defend;
13 With vile dishonour and with shame meet they,
To certain ruin who'd my steps betray;
Infatuate thou their schemes, their hearts confound,
Who make it all their joy my soul to wound,
14 For in thy mercy I will ever hope,
I'll praise the bounteous God that rais'd me up;
15 Thy love unmerited I'll daily sing,
And to thy glorious name attune the string;
16 Extol the pow'r, that gives me strength in war,
And thy strict justice faithfullv declare.
17 My youth thou'st guided in tne perfect road,
Nor have I prov'd ungrateful to my God.
18 Now then, when age with all it's ills oppress,
Now not desert me in my deep distress;
That I to nations yet unborn may sing
The pow'r, the mercy, of my heav'nly king.
19 Thy justice, Lord, ascends yon heav'ns above;
O dread creator, who like thee can prove?
20 True; thou didst plunge me in the depths of grief,
But soon thy mercy gave my soul relief:
21 Pow'r, wealth and honour, soon didst thou supply,
And gav'st me peace and happiness t' enjoy.
22 Therefore my psalt'ry and my harp display
Thy truth, O Israels God, from day to day;
23 Therefore my soul, by thee redeem'd from woe,
In ardent praise her gratitude shall shew;
24 Therefore thy righteous acts shall fill my tongue;
The justice of my God my constant song;
Who on my foes did dire destruction pour,
My foes, who sought his servant to devour.

In thee, O Lord, I place my Trust
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #126 (1752) Scripture: Psalm 71 Lyrics: 1. In Thee, O Lord, I place my Trust,
Me never put to Shame.
2. Hear, save, and cause me to escape,
For righteous is thy Name.
3. Be thou my dwelling Place most strong,
Where I may still resort;
Thy promised Safety, Lord, I plead,
Thou art my Rock, and Fort.
4. Save me, O God, from wicked Hands,
The cruel, and unjust.
5. For thou, Lord, God, haft been my Hope,
And, from my Youth, my Trust.
6. By Thee, I've always been sustain'd,
From my most early Days;
Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb;
I'll ever sing thy Praise.
7. To many, I'm a Wonder grown;
But on thy Strength I stay.
8. Let, with thy Praise, my Mouth be fill'd,
And Honour all the Day.
Second Part
9. Cast me not off, now, in the Time,
Old Age doth me assail;
O do not thou forsake me, Lord,
When Strength, and Vigour, fail.
10. For my malicious Enemies
Against me falsly speak;
And they, who for my Life lay wait,
Together Counsel take.
11. "Now God, (say they,) has him forsook,
"Pursue, and on him seize;
"There's none to save him from our Pow'r
"He'll fall our Prey with Ease.
12. But thou, O God, be not far off
From me, oppress'd with Grief;
O thou, my God, with timely Speed,
Appear for my Relief.
13. Confound, and bring to Nought, my Foes,
Who, for my Life, combine;
Reproach, and Infamy, be heap'd,
On those my Hurt design.
14. My stedfast Hope shall still remain,
On Thee, fix'd all my Days;
To spread thy Glory, more and more,
I'll add new Songs of Praise.
15. Thy Truth, and thy Salvation, Lord,
My Mouth shall daily show;
Whose growing Numbers far surmount
The utmost I can know.
16. Depending on thy Strength, O God,
I'll chearfully go on;
Thy Righteousness I'll celebrate,
I'll mention thine alone.
Third Part
17. Thou, O my God, hast from my Youth,
Unto this Day, me taught;
And I have openly declar'd,
The Wonders thou hast wrought.
18. And now, O God, forsake me not,
When old, and gray, I'm grown;
Till this, and to the future Age,
Thy Strength, and Pow'r, I've shown.
19. Thy Justice, Lord, in Height transcends
All that we can declare.
Who mighty Works hast done; O God,
Who may with Thee compare;
20. Thou, Troubles great, and fore, hast made
Me, by Experience, know;
Yet shalt thou me revive, and bring
Up from the Depth of Woe.
21. Thou shalt my Greatness far increase;
And to me Comfort bring.
22. Thy Truth, O Jacob's God, on Harp,
And Psaltery, I'll sing.
23. Then shall my Lips, with Joy, abound,
While I chant forth thy Praise;
My grateful Soul, by Thee, redeem'd,
Shall joyn thy Fame to raise.
24. My chearful Tongue, thy Righteousness,
Shall ev'ry Day proclaim;
For they're disgrac'd, that sought my Hurt,
And brought to endless Shame.
