Thro' Baca's vale my way is cast
Yea, God is good to Israel
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yea, God is good to Israel,
to each pure-hearted one.
2 But as for me, my steps nigh slipped,
my feet were almost gone.
3 For I envious was, and grudged
the foolish folk to see,
when I perceived wicked men
enjoy prosperity.
4 For still their strength continues firm;
their death of bands is free.
5 Not troubled they like other men,
nor plagued, as others be.
6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain,
them compasseth about:
and, as a garment, violence
doth cover them throughout.
7 Their eyes stand out with fat; they have
more than their hearts could seek;
8 they mock, and loftily of wrong
and of oppression speak.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens
in proud and haughty talk;
their boastful and reviling tongue
upon the earth doth walk.
10 His people oftentimes for this
look back, and turn about;
since waters of so full a cup
to these are poured out.
11 And thus they say, How can it be
that God these things doth know?
Or, Can there in the Highest be
knowledge of things below?
12 Lo these the wicked are, and yet
they prosper at their will
in worldly things; they do increase
in wealth and riches still.
13 I verily have done in vain
my heart to purify;
to no effect in innocence
my hands made clean have I.
14 For daily, and all day throughout,
great plagues I suffered have;
yea, every morning I anew
did chastisement receive.
15 If in this manner foolishly
to speak I would intend,
the generation of thy sons,
behold, I should offend.
16 But when I thought this thing to know,
it was too hard for me,
17 till to God’s sanctuary I went;
then I their end did see.
18 Upon a slippery place them set
assuredly thou hast;
and down into destruction thou
dost suddenly them cast.
19 How in a moment suddenly
to ruin brought are they!
With fearful terrors utterly
they are consumed away.
20 Even like unto a dream, when one
from sleeping doth arise;
so thou, O Lord, when thou awak’st
their image shalt despise.
21 Thus I was grieved in my heart,
and in my reins oppressed.
22 So rude was I, and ignorant,
and in thy sight a beast.
23 And yet, O Lord, I do abide
continually with thee:
thou dost me take by my right hand,
and still upholdest me.
24 Thou with thy counsel, while I live,
wilt me conduct and guide;
and to thy glory afterward
receive me to abide.
25 Whom have I in the heavens high
but thee, O Lord, alone?
And in the earth whom I desire
besides thee there is none.
26 My flesh and heart doth faint and fail;
but God doth fail me never:
for of my heart God is the strength
and portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee
for ever perish shall;
them that forsake thee wantonly
thou hast destroyed all.
28 But surely it is good for me
that I draw near to God:
In God I trust, that all thy works
I may declare abroad. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
Yea, God is good to Israel

Jehovah said unto my Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah said unto my Lord,
sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thy foes a stool,
whereon thy feet may stand.
2 The Lord shall out of Zion send
the rod of thy great power:
in midst of all thine enemies
be thou the governor.
3 A willing people in thy day
of power shall come to thee,
in holy beauties from morn’s womb;
thy youth like dew shall be.
4 The Lord himself hath made an oath,
and will repent him never,
of the order of Melchisedek
thou art a priest for ever.
5 The glorious and mighty Lord,
that sits at thy right hand,
shall, in his day of wrath, strike through
kings that do him withstand.
6 Among the nations he shall judge,
the places fill with dead;
and over broad and spacious lands
he shall strike down the head.
7 The brook that runneth in the way
with drink shall him supply;
and, for this cause, in triumph he
shall lift his head on high. Scripture: Psalm 110 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW
Jehovah said unto my Lord
The Earth, with All That Dwell Therein
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: The earth with all that dwell therein Lyrics: 1 The earth, with all that dwell therein,
with all its wealth untold,
belongs to God who founded it
Upon the seas of old.
2 What man shall stand before the Lord
on Zion's holy hill?
The clean of hand, the pure of heart,
the just who do his will.
3 Lo, such are they that seek for God,
and blest by him they live;
to them his perfect righteousness
the God of grace will give.
4 Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.
5 Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim his sovereign right?
It is the Lord omnipotent,
all-conqu'ring in his might.
6 Ye everlasting doors, give way;
lift up your heads, ye gates!
For now, behold, to enter in
the King of glory waits.
7 Who is this glorious King that comes
to claim his rightful throne?
The Lord of Hosts, he is the King
of glory, God alone.

Jehovah very gracious is
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 8 Jehovah very gracious is,
in him compassions flow;
in mercy he is very great,
and is to anger slow.
9 The Lord most bountiful extends
his goodness unto all:
and over all that he hath made
his tender mercies are.
10 Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord,
and thee thy saints shall bless;
11 they shall thy kingdom’s glory show,
thy power by speech express:
12 To make the sons of men to know
his acts done mightily,
And of his kingdom excellent
the glorious majesty.
13 Thy kingdom shall endure for aye
thy reign through ages all.
14 God raiseth all that are bowed down,
upholdeth all that fall.
15 The eyes of all things wait on thee,
the giver of all good;
and thou in time convenient dost,
bestow on them their food.
16 Thy bounteous hand thou openest,
and dost in kindness give
enough to satisfy the wants
of all on earth that live.

Jehovah very gracious is
No Sleep Nor Slumber to His Eyes
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. No sleep nor slumber to his eyes
Good David would afford,
Till He had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.
2. The Lord in Sion placed His name,
His ark was settled there;
To Sion the whole nation came
To worship thrice a year.
3. But we have no such lengths to go,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where’er Thy saints assemble now,
There is a house for God.
4. Arise, O King of grace, arise
And enter to Thy rest!
Lo! Thy Church waits with longing eyes
Thus to be owned and blest.
5. Enter with all Thy glorious train
Thy Spirit and Thy Word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
6. Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let Thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of Thy house,
And fill Thy poor with bread.
7. Here let the Son of David reign,
Let God’s Anointed shine;
Justice and truth His court maintain
With love and power divine.
8. Here let Him hold a lasting throne;
And as His kingdom grows,
Fresh honors shall adorn His crown,
And shame confound his foes. Used With Tune: LONDON NEW Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
