To the chief Musican. A Psalm of David

Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 First Line: In thee, O Lord, I put my trust Lyrics: 1 In Thee, O LORD, I put my trust, asham'd ne'r let me be; Accordingly to thy righteousness, do thou deliver me. 2 Bow down thine ear to me: with speed give me deliverance To save me, be my rock of strength And house of my defence. 3 Because Thou art my rock and fort, in whom I will confide, Therefore for thy name sake do thou me safely, lead and guide. 4 O pull me from the net which they, for me in secret laid; Because Thou only art my strength, in whom I trust for aid. 5 Into thy hands I safe commit my soul; for Thou art He, O Thou JEHOVAH, God of truth who hast redeemed me. 6 The men who lying vanities regard, I have abhor'd: But I have plac'd my confidence alone upon the LORD.. 7 I in thy mercies will exult and will rejoyce; for Thou Did'st my affliction see and weigh, my soul in trouble know; 8 And didst not let my foe keep me enclosed in his hand; But in the place of liberty hast made my feet to stand. [2 Part] 9 O Lord, because I am distress'd, in mercy send relief: My soul, my bowels, and mine eye, Consumed are with grief. 10 Because my life with trouble fails; with groans my years decay: And for my sins my strength is spent, my bones consume away. 11 To all my foes I am a scorn neighbours especially; A fear to friends; and those abroad who see me from me fly. 12 Ev'n like a dead man, out of mind, I quite forgotten lie; And as the potter's vessel broke, so much despis'd am I. 13 For slanders I of many heard, and fears around me lay, While they consulted and devis'd to take my life away. 14 But all this while on Thee, O LORD, I trusted still for aid; "For Thou art my almighty God," my soul within me said; 15 My times are wholly in thy hand; now therefore set me free Far from the hand of all my foes and those who trouble me [3 Part] 16 The brightness of thy face to shine on me thy servant make; And thy salvation to me grant, For thy free mercy sake. 17 LORD, let me not ashamed be; for call'd on Thee I have; But wicked men shall be asham'd, till silent in the grave. 18 The lying lips shall silenc'd be, which grievous things have said; And hard reports in pride and scorn against the righteous spread. 19 How great thy goodness in thy store for those who fear Thee, then! Yea wrought for them who trust in Thee, before the sons of men! 20 In secret of thy presence Thou wilt screen them from man's pride, And safely wilt from strive of tongues in thy pavilion hide. 21 O let JEHOVAH blessed be, for wondrous kindness shown when threatning dangers me enclos'd within a fenced town. 22 For in my haste I tho't and said; "I'm cut off from thine eyes," Yet when I cry'd to Thee, then Thou didst kindly hear my cries. 23 O love the LORD all ye his saints! the LORD the faithful guards; But those who live and act in pride, He dreadfully rewards. 24 Encourage then your selves in him, and he'll more strength afford To your enfeebled hearts, all ye whose hope is in the LORD.

How great the deeds with mercy fraught Which openly Thy hand hath wrought For those who trust in Thee, For those who trust in Thee. 2 Secured by Thy unfailing grace, In Thee they find a hiding place When foes their plots devise; A sure retreat Thou wilt prepare, And keep them safely sheltered there, When strife of tongues shall rise, When strife of tongues shall rise. 3 Blest be the Lord, for He has showed, While giving me a safe abode, His love beyond compare; Altho' His face He seemed to hide, He ever heard me when I cried, And made my wants His care, And made my wants His care. 4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve, For He the faithful will preserve, And shield from men of pride; Be strong, and let your hearts be brave, All ye that wait for Him to save, In God the Lord confide, In God the Lord confide.

Thou whom my soul admires above

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:13-19 Lyrics: Thou whom my soul admires above All earthly joy and earthly love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know, Where doth thy sweetest pasture grow? Where is the shadow of that rock, That from the sun defends thy flock? Fain would I feed among thy sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. Why should thy bride appear like one That turns aside to paths unknown? My constant feet would never rove, Would never seek another love. [The footsteps of thy flock I see; Thy sweetest pastures here they be; A wondrous feast thy love prepares, Bought with thy wounds, and groans, and tears. His dearest flesh he makes my food, And bids me drink his richest blood: Here to these hills my soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home.] Topics: Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed; Health sickness, and recovery; Death deliverance from it; Deliverance from death; Deliverance from slander; Reproach removed; Slander, deliverance from it
