Domine refugium
Author: J. H. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thou Lord hast been our sure defence Lyrics: 1 Lord, hast been our sure defence,
our place of ease and rest:
In all times past, yea so long since,
as cannot be exprest.
2 Ere there was made mountaine or hill,
the earth and world abroad:
From age to age, and alwaies still
for ever thou art God.
3 Thou grindest man through grief and paine
to dust or clay, and then,
And then thou saist againe returne,
againe ye sonnes of men.
4 The lasting of a thousand yeares,
what is it in thy sight?
As yesterday it doth appeare,
or as a watch by night.
5 So soone as thou dost scatter them,
then is their life and trade
All as asleepe, and like the grasse,
whose beauty soon doth fade.
6 Which in the morning shines full bright
but fadeth by and by:
And is cut down ere it be night,
all withered, dead, and drie.
7 For through thine anger we consume,
our might is much decaid:
And of thy fervent wrath and fume
we are full sore afraid.
8 The wicked works that we have wrought
thou setst before thine eye:
Our privy faults, yea, eke our thoughts
thy countenance doth spie.
9 For through thy wrath our daies do wast,
thereof doth nought remaine:
Our yeares consume as words or blsts,
and are not cal'd againe.
10 Our time is threescore yeares and ten,
That we do live on mold:
If one see fourscore, surely then,
we count him wondrous old.
The second Part:
11 Yet of this time the strength and chief
the which we count upon,
Is nothing els but painefull griefe,
and we as blasts are gone.
12 Who once doth know what strength is there
what might thine anger hath:
Or in his heart who doth thee feare
according to thy wrath?
13 Instruct us Lord to know and try,
how long our daies remaine:
That then we may our hearts apply,
true wisdome to attaine.
14 Returne, O Lord, how long wilt thou
forth on thy wrath proceed?
Shew favour to thy servants now,
and help them at their need.
15 Refresh us with thy mercy soone,
then shall we joyful be,
All times so long as life doth last,
in heart rejoyce will we.
16 As thou hast plagued us before,
now also make us glad:
And for the yeares wherein full sore
affliction we have had.
17 O let thy work and power appeare,
and on thy servants light:
And shew unto thy children deare,
thy glory and thy might.
18 Lord, let thy grace and glory stand
on us thy servants thus:
Confirme the works we take in hand,
Lord prosper them to us.
Scripture: Psalm 90
Domine refugium
Qui habitat
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: He that within the secret place Lyrics: 1 He that within the secret place
of God most high doth dwell:
In shadow of the mightiest grace
at rest shall keep him well.
2 Thou art my hope and my strong hold,
I to the Lord will say;
My God he is, in him will I
my whole affiance stay.
3 He shall defend thee from the snare,
the which the hunter laid:
And from the deadly plague and care
whereof thou art afraid:
4 And with his wings shall cover thee,
and keep thee safely there:
His faith and truth thy fence shall be
as sure as shield and speare.
5 So that thou shalt not need I say,
to feare or be affright,
Of all the shafts that flie by day,
or terrours of the night:
6 Nor of the plague that privily
doth walk in dark so fast:
Nor yet of that which doth destroy,
and at noone day doth wast.
7 Yea at thy side as thou dost stand,
a thousand dead shall be,
Ten thousand eke at thy right hand,
and yet shalt thou be free.
8 But thou shalt see it for thy part,
thine eyes shall well regard:
That even like to their desert
the wicked have reward.
9 For why? O Lord, I only lust,
to stay my hope on thee:
And in the highest I put my trust,
my sure defence is he.
10 Thou shalt not need the ill to feare,
with thee it shall be well:
Nor yet the plagues shall once come neare
the house where thou dost dwell.
11 For why? unto his Angels all,
with charge commanded he:
That still in all thy waies they shall
preserve and prosper thee.
12 And in their hands shall beare thee up,
still waiting thee upon:
So that thy foot shall never chance
to spurne at any stone.
13 Upon the Lions thou shalt go,
the Adder fell and long;
And tread upon the Lions young,
with Dragons stout and strong:
14 For he that trusteth unto me,
I will acquit him quite:
And him defend, because that he
doth know my Name aright.
15 When he for help on me doth cry,
an answer I will give:
And from his griefe take him will I
in glory for to live.
16 With length of yeares and daies of wealthe
I will fulfull his time:
The goodnesse of my saving health,
I will declare to him. Scripture: Psalm 91
Qui habitat
Bonum est
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: It is a thing both good and meet Lyrics: 1 It is a thing both good and meet
to praise the highest Lord:
And to thy Name, O thou most High,
to sing with one accord.
2 To shew the kindnesse of the Lord,
betime ere day be light:
And eke declare his truth abroad,
when it doth draw to night.
3 On a ten stringed instruments,
on Lute and Harp so sweet:
With all the mirth you can invent,
of instruments most meet.
4 For thou hast made me to rejoyce,
in things so wrought by thee:
And I have joy in heart and voice,
thy handy-works to see.
5 O Lord, how glorious and how great,
are all thy works so stout!
So deeply are thy counsels set,
that none can trie them out.
6 The man unwise hath not the wit,
these things to passe to bring:
And all such fooles are nothing fit,
to understand this thing.
7 When so the wicked at their will,
as grasse do spring full fast:
They when they flourish in their ill,
for ever shall be wast.
8 But thou art mighty Lord most High,
and thou dost raigne therefore,
In every time eternally,
both now and evermore.
9 For why? O Lord, behold and see,
behold thy foes I say,
How all that work iniquity,
shall perish and decay.
10 But thou like as an Unicorn
shalt lift mine horne on hie"
With fresh and new prepared oyle
thine oynted King am I.
11 And of my foes before mine eyes
shall see the fall and shame
Of all that up against me rise,
mine eares shall heare the same.
12 The just shall flourish up on high,
as Date-trees bud and blow,
And as the Cedars multiply,
in Libanus that grow.
13 For they are planted in the place,
and dwelling of our God:
Within his courts they spring apace,
and flourish all abroad.
14 And in their age much fruit shal bring
both fat and well beseen
And pleasantly both bud and spring
with bowes and branches green.
15 To shew that God is good and just,
and upright in his will:
He is my rock, my hope, and trust,
in him there is none ill.
Scripture: Psalm 92
Bonum est
Dominus regnavit
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord as King aloft doth raigne Lyrics: 1 The Lord as King aloft doth raigne,
with glory goodly dight:
And he to shew his strength most maine,
hath girt himselfe with might.
2 The Lord likewise the earth hath made,
and shaped it so sure,
No might can make it move or fade,
at stay it doth endure.
3 Ere that the world was made or wrought
thy seat was set before:
Beyond all time that can be thought,
thou hast been evermore.
4 The floods, O Lord, the floods do rise,
they roare and make a noise:
The floods (I say) did enterprise,
and lifted up their voice.
5 Yea, though the storms arise in sight
though seas do rage and swell:
The Lord is strong and more of might,
for he on high doth dwell.
6 And look what promise he doth make,
his houshold to defend:
For just and true they shall intake,
all times without an end. Scripture: Psalm 93
Dominus regnavit
Deus ultionum
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord thou dost revenge all wrong Lyrics: 1 O Lord,thou dost revenge all wrong,
that office longs to thee:
Sith vengeance doth to thee belong,
declare that all may see.
2 Set forth thy selfe, for thou of right
the earth doth judge and guide:
Reward the proud and men of might
according to their pride.
3 How long shall wicked men beare sway
with lifting up their voice?
How long shall wicked men, I say,
thus triumph and rejoyce?
4 How long shall they with brags burst out,
and proudly prate their fill?
Shall they rejoyce that be so stout,
whose works are ever ill?
5 Thy flock, O Lord, thine heritage
they spoile and vexe full sore:
Against thy people they do rage
still daily more and more.
6 The widowes which are comfortlesse,
and strangers they destroy:
They slay the children fatherlesse,
and none doth put them by.
7 And when they take these things in hand,
this talk they have of thee:
Can Jacob's God this understand?
tush, no, he cannot see.
8 O folk unwise, and people rude,
some knowledge now discerne,
Ye fooles among the multitude,
at length begin to learne.
9 The Lord who made the eare of man,
he needs of right must heare:
He made the eye, all things must then
before his sight appeare.
10 The Lord doth all the world correct,
and make them understand:
Shall he not then your deeds detect?
how can ye scape his hand?
The second Part:
11 The Lord doth know the thoughts of man,
his heart he sees full plaine:
The Lord (I say) mans thoughts doth scan,
and findeth them but vaine.
12 But Lord, that man is happy sure,
whom thou dost keep in awe:
And through correction dost procure
to teach him in thy Law.
13 Whereby he shall in quiet rest
in time of trouble sit:
When wicked men shall be supprest,
and fall into the pit.
14 For sure, the Lord will not refuse
his people for to take:
His heritage whom he did chuse,
he will no time forsake.
15 Untill that judgement be decreed
to justice to convert:
That all may follow her with speed,
that are of upright heart.
16 But who upon my part will stand,
against the cursed traine?
Or who shall rid me from their hand
that wicked works maintaine?
17 Except the Lord had been mine aid
mine enemies to repell:
My soul and life had now been laid
almost as low as hell.
18 When I did say, my foot did slide,
I now am like to fall:
Thy goodnesse Lord did so provide,
to stay me up withall.
19 When with my selfe I mused much,
and could no comfort find,
Then Lord thy goodnesse did me touch,
and that did ease my mind.
20 Wilt thou inhaunt thy self, and draw
with wicked men to sit?
Which with pretence instead of law,
much mischiefe do commit.
21 For they consult against the life
of righteous men and good:
And in their counsels they are rife,
to shed the guiltlesse bloud.
22 But yet the Lord he is to me
a strong defence or lock:
He is my God to whom I flie,
he is my strength and rock.
23 And he shall cause their mischiefs al
themselves for to annoy:
And in their malice they shall fall,
our God shall them destroy.
Scripture: Psalm 94
Deus ultionum
Venite exultemus
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O come let us lift up our voice Lyrics: 1 O come let us lift up our voice,
and sing unto the Lord:
In him our rock of health rejoyce
let us with one accord.
2 Yea let us come before his face,
to give him thanks and praise:
In singing Psalmes unto his grace,
let us be glad alwaies.
3 For why? the Lord he is no doubt,
a great and mighty God:
A King above all gods throughout,
in all, the world abroad.
4 The secrets of the earth so deep
and corners of the land:
The tops of hills that are so steep,
he hath them in his hand.
5 The sea and waters all are his,
for he the same hath wrought:
The earth and all that therein is,
his hand hath made of nought.
6 Come let us bow and praise the Lord,
before him let us fall:
And kneel to him with one accord,
for he hath made us all.
7 For why? he is the Lord our God,
for us he doth provide;
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
his sheep and he our guide.
8 To day if ye his voice will heare,
then harden not your heart:
As ye with grudging many a yeare
provoked him in desart.
9 Whereas your fathers tempted me,
my power for to prove:
My wondrous works when they did see,
yet still they would me move.
10 Twice twenty years they did me grieve
and I to them did say,
They erre in heart, and not believe
they have not known my way.
11 Wherefore I sware, when that my wrath
was kindled in my brest:
That they should never tread the path,
to enter in my rest. Scripture: Psalm 95
Venite exultemus
Cantate Domino

new songs with joy and mirth:
Sing unto him with one accord,
all people on the earth.
2 Yea sing unto the Lord, I say,
praise ye his holy Name:
Declare and shew from day to day
salvation by the same.
3 Among the heathen eke declare
his honour round about:
To shew his wonders do not spare,
in all the world throughout.
4 For why the Lord is much of might
and worthy praise alway:
And he is to be dread of right,
above all gods, I say.
5 For all the gods of heathen folk
are idols that will fade:
But yet our God, he is the Lord
that hath the heavens made.
6 All praise and honour eke do dwell
for aye before his face:
Both power and might likewise excell,
within his holy place.
7 Ascribe unto the Lord alway,
ye people of the world:
All might and worship eke I say,
ascribe unto the Lord.
8 Ascribe unto the Lord also,
the glory of his Name:
And eke unto courts do go,
with gifts unto the same.
The second Part:
9 Fall down and worship ye the Lord,
within his Temple bright:
Let all the people of the world
be fearefull at his sight.
10 Tell all the world, be not agst,
the Lord doth raigne above:
Yea he hath set the earth so fast,
that it can never move.
11 And that it is the Lord alone
that rules with princely might:
To judge the nations every one
with equity and right.
12 The heavens shall great joy begin,
the earth eke shall rejoyce:
The sea with all that is there in
shall shout and make a noise.
13 The fields shall joy, and every thing
that springeth on the earth:
The wood and every tree shall sing
with gladnesse and with mirth.
14 Before the presence of the Lord,
and coming of his might:
When he shall justly judge the world,
and rule his folk with right.
Scripture: Psalm 96

may joy with pleasant voice:
And eke the Isles with joyfull mirth
may triumph and rejoyce.
2 Both clouds and darknesse eke do swell
and round about him beate:
Yea right and justice ever dwell
and bide about his seat.
3 Yea fire and heat it once do run,
and go before his face:
Which shall his foes and enemies burn
abroad in every place.
4 His lightnings eke full bright did blaze
and to the world appeare:
Whereat the earth did look and gaze,
with dread and deadly feare.
5 The hils like waxe did melt in sight
and presence of the Lord:
They fled before that Rulers might,
which guideth all the world.
6 The heavens eke declare and show
his justice all abroad:
That all the world may see and know
the glory of our God.
7 Confusion sure shall come to such
as worship idols vaine:
And eke to those that glory much,
dumbe pictures to maintaine.
8 For all the idols of the world
which they their gods do call:
Shall feel the power of the Lord,
and down to him shall fall.
9 With joy shall Sion heare this thing,
and Judah shall rejoyce;
For at thy judgements they shall sing,
and make a pleasant noise.
10 That thou O Lord art set on high
in all the earth abroad:
And art exalted wondrously
above each other god.
11 All ye that feare the Lord do this,
hate all things that are ill:
For he doth save the soules of his
from such as would them spill.
12 And light doth spring up to the just,
with pleasure for his part:
Great joy with gladnesse, mirht, and lust,
to them of upright heart.
13 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce,
his holiness proclaime:
Be thankfull eke with heart and voice,
be mindfull of the same. Scripture: Psalm 97

his wonders great and strong.

he doth his foes devoure:
And get himselfe the victory
with his own arm and power.
3 The Lord doth make his people know
his saving health and might:
The Lord doth eke justice show,
in all the heathens sight.
4 His grace and truth to Israel,
in mind he doth record:
That all the earth hath seen right well
the goodnesse of the Lord.
5 Be glad in him with joyfull voice,
all people on the earth:
Give thanks to God, sing and rejoyce
to him with joy and mirth.
6 Upon the harp unto him sing,
give thanks to him with Psalmes:
Rejoyce before the Lord our King,
with Trumpets and with Shalmes.
7 Yea let the sea with all therein
for joy both roare and swell:
The earth likewise let it begin,
with all that therein dwell.
8 And let the flouds rejoyce their fils,
and clap their hands apace:
And eke the mountaines and the hils

and he aloft is set.
3 Let all men praise thy mighty Name,
for it is fearefull sure:
And let them magnifie the same,
that holy is and pure.
4 The princely power of our King
doth love judgement and right:
Thou rightly rulest every thing
in Jacob through thy might.
5 To praise the Lord our God devise,
all honour to him do:
Before his footstoole worship him,
for he is holy too.
6 Moses, Aaron, and Samuel,
as Priests on him did call:
When they did pray he heard them well
and gave them answer all.
7 Within the cloud to them he spake,
then did they labour still,
To keep such laws as he did make,
and pointed them untill.
8 O Lord our God, thou didst them heare,
and answeredst them againe:
Thy mercy did on them appeare,
their deeds didst not maintaine.
9 O laud an dpraise our God and Lord
within his holy hill:
For why, our God throughouth the world,
is holy ever still.
Scripture: Psalm 99
