Chant. Fitzherbert. 80 PSALM LXXX. 1 HEAR, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock thou that dost Joseph guide; Shine forth, O thou that dost between the cherubims abide. 2 In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's, and in Manasseh's sight, O come for our salvation; stir up thy strength and might. 3 Turn us again, O Lord our God, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, 4 O Lord of hosts, almighty God, 5 Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st to them in measure great. 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours round about; Our enemies among themselves at us do laugh and flout, 18 The boar who from the forest comes doth waste it at his pleasure; The wild beast of the field also devours it out of measure. 14 O God of hosts, we thee beseech, return now unto thine; Look down from heav'n in love, behold, and visit this thy vine: 15 This vineyard, which thine own right hand hath planted us among; And that same branch, which for thythou hast made to be strong. 16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire, They utterly are perished, 17 O let thy hand be still upon [self the Man of thy right hand, The Son of man, whom for thyself thou madest strong to stand. 18 So henceforth we will not go back, nor turn from thee at all: O do thou quicken us, and we upon thy name will call. 1 SING loud to God our strength; with to Jacob's God do sing. [joy 2 Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp, timbrel and psalt'ry bring. 3 Blow trumpets at new-moon, what day our feast appointed is: 4 For charge to Isr'el, and a law of Jacob's God was this. 5 To Joseph this a testimony he made, when Egypt land He travell'd through, where speech I I did not understand. [heard 6 His shoulder I from burdens took, his hands from pots did free. 7 Thou didst in trouble on me call, In secret place of thundering And at the streams of Meribah Chant. d d Crotch. Ꮎ 8 O thou, my people, give an ear, To thee, O Isr'el, if thou wilt 9 In midst of thee there shall not be 10 I am the Lord thy God, which did 11 But yet my people to my voice 12 So to the lust of their own hearts I them delivered; And then in counsels of their own they vainly wandered. 13 O that my people had me heard, Isr'el my ways had chose! 14 I had their en'mies soon subdu'd, my hand turu'd on their foes. 15 The haters of the Lord to him submission should have feign'd; 1 IN gods' assembly God doth stand; he judgeth gods among. 2 How long, accepting persons vile, 3 Defend the poor and fatherless; 5 They know not, nor will understand 6 I said that ye are gods, and are sons of the Highest all: 7 But ye shall die like men, and as one of the princes fall. 8 O God, do thou raise up thyself, the earth to judgment call: For thou, as thine inheritance, shalt take the nations all. 83 PSALM LXXXIII. 1 KEEP not, O God, we thee entreat, 2 For, lo, thine enemies a noise tumultuously have made; 3 Against thy chosen people they 4 Come, let us cut them off, said they, That of the name of Isr'el may 5 For with joint heart they plot, in league against thee they combine. 6 The tents of Edom, Ishm'elites, Moab's and Hagar's line; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, Amalek, Philistines, those of Tyre; 8 And Assur join'd with them, to help Lot's children they conspire. 9 Do to them as to Midian, 11 Like Oreb and like Zeeb make 12 Who said, For our possession 13 My God, them like a wheel, as chaff before the wind, them make. 14 As fire consumes the wood, as flame doth mountains set on fire, 15 Chase and affright them with the and tempest of thine ire. [storm 16 Their faces fill with shame, O Lord, that they may seek thy name. 17 Let them confounded be, and vex'd, and perish in their shame: 18 That men may know that thou, to alone doth appertain [whoin The name JEHOVAH, dost most high o'er all the earth remain. 84 PSALM LXXXIV. 1 HOW lovely is thy dwelling-place, 3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out Ev'n thine own altars, where she safe |
