Psalm 89: God's mercies I will ever sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: God's mercies I will ever sing Lyrics: 1God’s mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all. 2For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns, thou wilt establish sure. 3I with my chosen One have made a cov’nant graciously; And to my servant, whom I lov’d, to David sworn have I; 4That I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain, And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness. 6For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are? 7Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev’rence be ador’d. 8O thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee? who compass’d round art with thy faithfulness. 9Ev’n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; And when the waves thereof do swell, thou stillest them again. 10Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughter’d is; And with thy mighty arm thou hast dispers’d thine enemies. 11The heav’ns are thine, thou for thine own the earth dost also take; The world, and fulness of the same, thy pow’r did found and make. 12The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had; Both Tabor mount and Hermon hill shall in thy name be glad. 13Thou hast an arm that’s full of pow’r, thy hand is great in might; And thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place; Mercy, accompany’d with truth, shall go before thy face. 15O greatly bless’d the people are the joyful sound that know; In brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; And in thy favour shall our horn and pow’r exalted be. 18For God is our defence; and he to us doth safety bring: The Holy One of Israel is our almighty King. 19In vision to thy Holy One thou saidst, I help upon A strong one laid; out of the folk I rais’d a chosen one; 20Ev’n David, I have found him out a servant unto me; And with my holy oil my King anointed him to be. 21With whom my hand shall stablish’d be; mine arm shall make him strong. 22On him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes; I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be; And in my name his horn and pow’r men shall exalted see. 25His hand and pow’r shall reach afar; I’ll set it in the sea; And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thou art my God alone; And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. 28My love I’ll ever keep for him, my cov’nant fast shall stand. 29His seed I by my pow’r will make for ever to endure; And, as the days of heav’n, his throne shall stable be, and sure. 30But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way: 31If they my laws break, and do not keep my commandements; 32I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with chastisements. 33Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34My cov’nant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie; 36His seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye. 37It, like the moon, shall ever be establish’d stedfastly; And like to that which in the heav’n doth witness faithfully. 38But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth. 39Thou hast thy servant’s covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan’d his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie. 40Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. 41He to all passers-by a spoil, to neighbours is a scorn. 42Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand; mad’st all his en’mies glad: 43Turn’d his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast; 45Shorten’d his days of youth, and him with shame thou cover’d hast. 46How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire? 47Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain: O wherefore is it so that thou has made all men in vain? 48What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free? 49Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now? Those which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou? 50Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach; how I in bosom bear The scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are. 51Wherewith thy raging enemies reproach’d, O Lord, think on; Wherewith they have reproach’d the steps of thine anointed one. 52All blessing to the Lord our God let be ascribed then: For evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and amen.

Misericordias

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: To sing the mercies of the Lord Lyrics: 1 To sing the mercies of the Lord, my tongue shall never spare: And with my mouth from age to age, thy truth I will declare. 2 For I have said, that mercy shall for evermore remaine: In that thou dost the heavens stay, they truth appeareth plaine. 3 To mine elect, saith God, I made a covenant and behest: My servant David to persuade, I swore and did protest. 4 Thy seed for ever I will stay, and stablish it full fast: And still uphold thy throne alway, from age to age to last. 5 The heavens shew with joy and mirth, thy wondrous works, O Lord: Thy Saints within thy Church on earth thy faith and truth record. 6 Who with the Lord is equall then, in all the clouds abroad? Among the sonnes of all the gods what one is like our God? 7 God in assembly of his Saints is greatly to be dread: And over all that dwell about, in terrour to be had. 8 Lord God of hoasts, in all the world, what one is like to thee? On every side most mighty Lord, thy truth is seen to be. 9 The raging sea by thine advice, thou rulest at thy will: And when the waves thereof arise, thou mak'st them calm and still. 10 And Egypt (Lord) thou hast subdu'd, and thou hast it destroid: Yea, thou thy foes with mighty arme hast scattered all abroad. The second Part: 11 The heavens are thine & still have been likewise the earth and land: The world and all that is therein. thou foundedst with thy hand: 12 Both North & South, with East & West, thy selfe didst make and frame: Both Tabor mount and eke Hermon, rejoyce and praise thy Name. 13 Thine arm is strong and full of power all might therein doth lie: The strength of thy right hand each houre thou liftest up on hie. 14 In righteousness and equity thou hast thy seat and place: Mercy and truth are still with thee, and go before thy face, 15 That folk is blest that knowes aright thy present power,O God: For in the favour of thy sight they walk full safe abroad. 16 For in thy Name throughout the day they greatly do rejoyce: And through thy righteousness have they a pleasant fame and noise. 17 For why? their glory, strength and aid, in thee alone doth lie: Thy goodnesse eke that hath us staid, shall lift our horn on hie. 18 Our strength that doth defend us well, the Lord to us doth bring: The holy One of Israel he is our guide and King. 19 Sometimes thy will unto thy Saints in vision thou didst show: And thus then didst thou say to them thy mind to make them know. 20 A man of might I have erect, your king and guide to be: And set him up whom I elect among the folk to me. The third Part. 21 My servant David I appoint, whom I have searched out: And with my holy oyle annoint him King of all the rout. 22 For why? my hand is ready still with him for to remaine: And with my arm also I will him strengthen and sustaine. 23 The enemies shall not him oppresse, they shall him not devoure: Nor yet the sonmes of wickedness on him have any power. 24 His foes likewise I will destroy before his face in sight: And those that hate him I will plague, and strike them with my might. 25 My truth and mercy eke withall, shall still upon him lie: And in my name his horne eke shall be lifted up on high. 26 His kingdom I will set to be upon the sea and land: And eke the running floods shall he embrace with his right hand. 27 He shall depend with all his heart on me, and thus shall say: My Father and my God thou art, my rock my health and stay. 28 As my first-borne I will him take, of all on earth that springs: His might and honour I will make above all earthly Kings. 29 My mercy shall be with him still, as I my selfe have told: My faithfull covenant to fulfil, my mercy I will hold. 30 And eke his seed I will sustaine for ever strong and sure: So that his seed shall still remaine: while heaven doth endure. The fourth Part: 31 If that his sonnes forsake my Law, and so begin to swerve: And of my judgements have none awe, nor will not them observe. 32 Or if they do not use aright my statutes to them made: And set all my commandments light, and will not keep my trade. 33 Then with the rod will I begin, their doing to amend: And so will scourge them for their sin, if that they they offend. 34 My mercy yet and my goodnesse, I will not take them fro: Nor handle him with craftinesse, and so my truth forgo. 35 But sure my covenant I will hold, with all that I have spoke: No word the which my lips have told, shall alter or be broke. 36 Once sware I by my holinesse, and that performe will I: With David I shall keep promise, to him I will not lie. 37 His seed for evermore shall raigne, and eke his throne of might, As doth the Sum, it shall remaine for ever in my sight. 38 And as the Moone within the skie for ever standeth fast: A faithful witnesse from on hie. so shall his kingdome last. 39 But now Lord as thou dost reject, and now thou changest cleare: Yea, thou art wrath with thine elect, thin own annointed deare. 40 The covenant with thy servant made, Lord thou hast quite undone: And down upon the ground also and cast his royal crowne. The fifth Part: 41 Thou pluck'st his hedges up with might, his wals thou dost confound: Thou beatest eke his bulwarks down, and brakst them to the ground. ground: 42 That he is sore destroid and torne, of commers by throughout: And so is made a mock and scorn to all that dwell about. 43 Thou their right hand hast lifted up, that him so sore annoy: And all his foes, that him devoure, 1oe thou hast made to joy. 44 His sword's edge thou dost take away that should his foes withstand: To him in warre no victory thou giv'st, nor upper hand. 45 His glory thou dost also wast, his throne, his joy, and mirth, By thee are overthrown and cast full low upon the earth. 46 Thou hast cut off, and made full short his youth and lusty daies And rais'd of him an ill report, with shame and great dispraise. 47 How long away from me, O Lord, for ever wilt thou turn? And shall thine anger still alway as fire consume and burne? 48 O call to mind, remember then, my time consumeth fast: Why hast thou made the sonnes of men as things in vain to wast? 49 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the hand of Hell his soule shall he deliver free? 50 Where is (O Lord) thine old goodnesse, so oft declar'd beforne, Which by thy truth and uprightnesse to David thou hast sworne? 51 The great rebukes to mind I call, that on thy servants lie: The railings of the people all, borne in my brest have I: 52 Wherewith (O Lord) thine enemies blasphemed have thy Name: The steps of thine anointed ones they cease not to defame. 53 All praise to thee, O Lord of hosts, both now and eke for aye: Through skie and earth, all all the coasts Amen, Amen, I say.
