Psalm 18 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.38 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength Lyrics: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defence: Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. I saw the op'ning gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel can tell; While I was hurried to despair. In my distress I called my God, When I could scarce believe him mine: He bowed his ear to my complaint, Then did his grace appear divine. With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub's wing he rode; Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliverer, God. Temptations fled at his rebuke, The blast of his almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to his mercy and his power Scripture: Psalm 18:1-6 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.109 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Despair and hope in death; Hope and despair in death First Line: Why doth the man of riches grow Lyrics: Why doth the man of riches grow To insolence and pride, To see his wealth and honors flow With every rising tide? [Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self-same clay, And boast as though his flesh was born Of better dust than they?] Not all his treasures can procure His soul a short reprieve, Redeem from death one guilty hour, Or make his brother live. [Life is a blessing can't be sold, The ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be bribed with gold, That man may never die.] He sees the brutish and the wise, The tim'rous and the brave, Quit their possessions, close their eyes, And hasten to the grave. Yet 'tis his inward thought and pride,- My house shall ever stand And that my name may long abide, I'll give it to my land." Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost, How soon his memory dies! His name is written in the dust Where his own carcass lies. This is the folly of their way; And yet their sons, as vain, Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again. Men void of wisdom and of grace, If honor raise them high, Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die. [Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death feeds upon them there, Till the last trumpet break their sleep In terror and despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLVI (1766) Topics: Despair and Presumption Lyrics: 1 I hate the Tempter and his Charms, I hate his flatt'ring Breath; The Serpent takes a Thousand Forms To cheat our Souls to Death. 2 He feeds our Hopes with airy Dreams, Or kills with slavish Fear; And holds us still in wide Extremes, Presumption, or Despair. 3 Now he persuades, how easy 'tis To walk the Road to Heav'n; Anon he swells our Sins, and cries, They cannot be forgiv'n. [4 He bids young Sinners, Yet forbear To think of God or Death; For Prayer and Devotion are But melancholy Breath. 5 He tells the Aged, They must die, And 'tis too late to pray; In vain for Mercy now they cry, "For they have lost their Day.] 6 Thus he supports his cruel Throne By Mischief and Deceit; And drags the Sons of Adam down To Darkness and the Pit. 7 Almighty God, cut short his Pow'r, Let him in Darkness dwell; And, that he vex the Earth no more, Confine him down to Hell.
