Psalm 20

 

1 JESUS, with Thy salvation blest, We yield the glory to Thy name:

Fix'd in Thy strength our banners rest, With joy Thy vict'ry we proclaim.

 

2 Jehovah hears, He hears Thy prayer, The prayer on which our hope relies;

Thy cross salvation shall prepare, From His right hand Thy vict'ries rise.

 

3 Let men the rattling chariot trust, Or the swift steed, with courage stored; In Thee our confidence we boast, Jesus, Messiah, conquering Lord!

 

4 Safe shall we stand, nor yield to fear, When sinners with their hopes shall fall:

Save, Lord, O King Messiah, hear!

Hear, mighty Saviour, when we call.

William Goode, 1811

 

Psalm 21

 

1 THY strength, O Lord, makes glad our King, Who once in weakness bow'd the head, Salvation makes His heart to sing, For Thou hast raised Him from the dead.

 

2 Thou hast bestow'd His heart's desires, Shower'd on His path Thy blessings down; His royal pomp all heaven admires;

Thou on His head hast set the crown.

 

3 A life eternal as Thy years, A glory infinite like Thine, Repays Him for His groans and tears, And fills His soul with joy divine.

 

4 O King, beloved of our souls, Thine own right hand shall find Thy foes;

Swift o'er their necks Thy chariot rolls, And earth Thy dreadful vengeance knows.

 

5 As glowing oven is Thy wrath, As flame by furious blast upblown; With equal heat Thy love breaks forth, Like wall of fire around Thine own.

 

6 Be Thou exalted, King of kings, In Thine own strength sit Thou on high, Thy church Thy triumph loudly sings, And lauds Thy glorious majesty.

Charles H. Spurgeon, 1866

 

Psalm 22 (1 of 3)

 

1 MY God, my God, why leav'st Thou me When I with anguish faint?

Oh, why so far from me removed, And from my sad complaint?

 

2 All day, but all the day unheard, To Thee do I complain; With cries implore relief all night, But cry all night in vain.

 

3 Withdraw not, Lord, so far from me, When trouble is so nigh;

Oh, send me help! Thy help, on which I only can rely.

Tate and Brady, 1696.
