To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, wherefore hast thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? and why
Art thou so far from my help
And from words of my cry?
2 My God, I in the day time cry,
but me thou dost not hear;
Also by night and unto me
No quiet rest is there.
3 Nevertheless thou holy art,
Who constantly dost dwell,
Amongst the thankful praises of
Thy people Israel.
4 Our fathers heretofore in thee
Have put their confidence,
They trusted have, and thou to them
Didst give deliverance.
5 They unto thee did cry aloud,
And were preserved found,
In thee they put their confidence,
And nought did them confound.
6 But I a worm and not a man,
Of men a very scorn:
And I among the people am
Despised as forlorn.
7 All they that do upon me look,
A scoff at me do make;
They with contempt shoot out the lip,
The head in scorn they shake.
8 Upon the lord he roll'd himself,
Let him now rid him quite;
Let him deliver him, because
In him he doth delight.
9 But thou art he that me out of
The belly didst forth take:
When I was on my brother's breasts,
To hope thou didst me make.
10 I from the tender womb have been
Committed unto thee;
Yea from my mother's belly thou
Hast been a God to me.
[2]
11 Be not thou far away from me;
For tribulation
Approacheth very near at hand,
And helper there is none.
12 Great many bulls on ev'ry side
Have me encompassed;
The mighty bulls of Bashan have
Me round environed.
13 With their wide open'd mouths on me
They gaping so appear,
As if that each a ravening
And roaring lions were.
14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones
Disjointed are likewise;
Like unto melted wax my heart
Amidst my bowels lies.
15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd,
And my tongue cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
Of death brought me thou hast.
16 For dogs have compass'd me about,
Th' assembly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through
My hands and eke my feet.
17 My bones I may then number all;
They look'd, they did me view.
18 My cloaths among them they did part;
Lots for my coat they threw.
19 But thou Lord be not far; my strength
Haste thou to succour me.
20 My soul from sword, my darling from
The pow'r of dogs set free.
21 Out of the lion's mouth also;
Oh, saved that I were!
For thou from horns of unicorns
Didst me vouchsafe to hear.
22 Thy name I will declare to them
That brethren are to me;
Amidst the congregation I
Will praises give to thee.
[3]
23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise,
All Jacob's seed do ye
Him glorify, and dread him all
Ye Isra'ls seed that be.
24 For he th' affliction of the poor
Loaths not, nor doth despise;
Nor hides his face from him, but hears
When unto him he cries.
25 Within the congregation great,
My praise is of thee still:
Before them that in reverence,
Perform my vows I will.
26 The meek shall eat and be suffic'd;
Jehovah praise shall they
That do him seek; your heart shall live
Unto perpetual aye.
27 All th' Ends of th' earth remember shall
And turn unto the Lord;
And thee all heathen families
To worship shall accord
28 Because unto Jehovah doth
The kingdom appertain;
Likewise among the nations he
Is ruler sovereign.
29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall
All who to dust descend,
(Who cannot keep alive his soul)
Before his face shall bend.
30 With service a posterity
Him shall attend upon,
Which to the Lord shall counted be
A generation.
31 Come shall they, and his righteousness
By them declar'd shall be
Unto a people yet unborn,
That done this thing hath he.
To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1. My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? O why
So far from helping me, and deaf
To all my mournful Cry?
2. O thou my God, I cry all Day,
But thou hast no Regard;
I am not silent in the Night,
And yet I am not heard.
3. But thou art holy, O thou God,
Who do'st great Pleasure take
To dwell, where thankful Isr'el praise,
And sacred Off'rings make.
4. On Thee, our Fathers firm rely'd;
And did Deliv'rance gain.
5. To Thee, they cry'd, and still were sav'd;
Their Trust was not in vain.
6. But I, a Worm, and not a Man,
So vilely am I priz'd;
Reproach'd by Men of greatest Name,
By vulgar ones despis'd.
7. The gazing Crowd laugh me to scorn,
Their Scoffs upon me play:
They gape, and mock, and shake their Heads,
And thus deriding say:
8. "He vainly trusted in the Lord,
"That he would take his Part;
"Now let him save him, if he be
"The Darling of his Heart.
9. Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb,
Making my Birth thy Care;
When on my Mother's Breast I hung.
Thou did'st support me there.
10. Upon thine Arms my Cares were cast,
When mine first spread abroad;
Thou, from my Infant-Days, hast been
My Guardian, and my God.
Second Part
11. Forsake me not, when Trouble's near;
For none to help is found.
12. Many strong Bulls, of Bashan's Breed,
About beset me round.
13. With open Mouth they hideous roar,
As Lyons for their Prey.
14. My Blood is spilt, my Joints are rackt,
My Heart dissolves away.
I5. My Strength, like Potter's Earth, is dry'd,
My Tongue cleaves to my Jaws;
Down to the Dust of Death, my Life,
By thy sore Chast'ning, draws.
16. Fierce Dogs have compass'd me about,
Base Crowds around me meet;
With unrelenting furious Rage,
They pierce my Hands, and Feet.
17. My starting Bones, may all be told;
They staring me review.
18. My Robes they parted, as a Prey,
Lots for my Vesture threw.
19. O Lord, my Strength, forsake me not;
But hast to succour me.
20. My Soul from Sword, my Darling from
The Pow'r of Dogs set free.
21. From the fierce Lyon's cruel Jaws
Deliv'rance to me send;
And from the Horns of th' Unicorn,
O hear, and me defend.
22. Then, to my Brethren, I'll declare
The Glories of thy Name;
Amid'st the Congregation great,
I will thy Praise proclaim.
Third Part
23. Ye Worshipers of God, him praise,
From Jacob who proceed;
Him glorify, and reverence him,
O all ye Isr'el's Seed.
24. For he hath not despis'd, nor turn'd
From the afflicted's Grief,
Nor hid his Face from him; but heard
His Cries, and sent Relief.
25. I'll shout thy Praise, when e'er the great
Assembly meets to pray;
Before his Saints, that fear his Name,
The Vows I've made, I'll pay.
26. The Poor shall eat, and be suffic'd,
And Thanks to God shall give :
They that uprightly seek him shall
In Joys immortal, live.
27. Earth's distant Ends shall recollect,
And turn unto the Lord;
All Kindreds of the Nations shall,
To worship Thee, accord.
28. For universal Monarchy,
To God alone, pertains;
He sov'rain Ruler, uncontrol'd.
O'er all the Nations reigns.
29. The Rich shall eat, and him adore;
And who in Dust ly low.
Who cannot keep alive his Soul,
Before his Face shall bow.
30. Then shall a chosen Seed him serve;
Which God for his will own,
31. To Men unborn, his Truth, he'll shew,
And Wonders he hath done.
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
My GOD! my GOD! why leav'st thou me
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 My GOD! my GOD! why leavst thou me,
When I with Anguish call on thee?
Why dost thou me neglect,
And my loud Pray'r reject?
All Day, but all the day in vain,
To thee, O LORD, do I complain:
All Night have I implor'd
Thy Help to me restor'd.
3 Yet thou, O LORD, art ever just,
Relieving those, who in thee trust;
Therefore shalt Israel raise
To thee, continual Praise:
On Thee our Ancestors rely'd,
And in thy Strength their Foes defy'd;
To thee their Pray'rs address'd,
And with Success were bless'd.
of Innocence oppress'd;
3 Thy sure Deliv'rance, LORD, they found,
When Dangers gather'd thickest round;
Thine Ears their Cries receiv'd,
And they were soon reliev'd;
But I, like none of human Birth,
Am made the scoffing Rabble's Mirth;
Ev'n like a Reptile base,
They hold me in Disgrace.
Part II
4 My Agonies, the gazing Crowd,
Survey with Scorn and Laughter loud,
They mock whilst I complain,
And thus my Woes disdain:
"He boasted, he was Heav'n's Delight,
"Let GOD relieve his Favourite;
"Let him Assistance send,
"His Servant to defend.
5 But thou didst from my Mother's Womb,
Make me a living Offspring come;
Thy Care thou didst extend,
Me helpless to defend:
My Youth thou didst from Danger shield,
And Guardian-like Protection yield;
In thee I will confide,
For thou wert still my Guide.
6 Withdraw not then, O GOD, Most high!
Thy Aid, when Trouble is so nigh:
Do thou that Help extend,
On which I still depend.
High-pamper'd Bulls, a frowning Throng,
From Basan's Forest, fierce and strong,
Prepare with growing Rage,
Against me to engage.
7 They gape on me, and to my Fears,
Each Mouth, a yawning Grave appears;
Wide open to devour
My Soul, when in their Pow'r:
The desart Lion's savage Roar,
Could not increase my Horrors more.
In Compact close combin'd,
They have my Fall design'd.
Part III
8 My Joints are rack'd, and out of Frame;
My Heart like Wax before the Flame.
Within my Bosom glows;
My Blood like Water flows:
My Strength is parch'd' like Potter's Clay,
My fault'ring Tongue forgets to play;
My Soul all Hope resigns,
And to the Grave declines.
9 Like Blood-hounds, they assembled round,
My harmless Hands and Feet they wound;
And through my constant Pain,
I languish and complain;
That all my Bones may well be told;
Yet this as Pastime they behold.
And still their Pleasure shew,
At each Increase of Woe.
10 As Spoil, my Garments they divide:
By Lots their Portions they decide;
Therefore thy Arm extend,
And kind Protection send.
From their sharp Sword defend thou me,
And let my Life from Danger free;
Nor leave my Soul o'erpower'd,
By Dogs to be devour'd.
11 To me, O GOD! Assistance send,
My Life from Lions fierce defend;
As once thy Strength prevail'd,
When Unicorns assail'd,
Then to my Brethren I'll proclaim
The Triumphs of thy holy Name;
And to the Saints repair,
Thy Glory to declare.
12 "Praise ye the LORD in Songs divine,
"Ye num'rous Race of Israel's Line;
"To him with Fervour pray,
"And low Obeisance pay:
"His People he hath ne'er disdain'd,
"Or turn'd his Face when they complain'd;
"But to their humble Pray'r,
"Doth lend a gracious Ear.
13 Thus in thy Courts, thy Name I'll bless,
And in loud Songs my Thanks express;
And to thy Saints declare,
Thy providential Care.
The meek Companions of my Grief,
Shall at my Table find Relief;
And all who seek thy Face,
Shall find refreshing Grace.
14 Then shall the World their Homage pay,
To GOD, and his Commands obey;
His Pow'r they shall confess,
And Pray'rs to him address.
From Kings Submission to receive,
In his supreme Prerogative,
Who doth the Worlds sustain;
And over all Things reign.
15 The Rich his Bounty must confess,
The Poor their gen'rous Patron bless;
To him they all resort,
For Succour and Support:
Then shall a Race exalt his Name,
And to their Heirs his Truth proclaim,
"Till Heav'n and Earth combin'd,
Are all to GOD resign'd.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Author: Joseph M. Scriven, 1819-1886 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,692 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:6 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE
