Refrain:



  • Have mercy, O God,
    have mercy, O God

    1. Have mercy, O God, in your kindness,
      in love and compassion set me free,
      O wash me more and more from my guilt and my sin.
      O cleanse me, O God, O cleanse me, O God.
    2. A pure heart create for me, O God,
      your Spirit, O Lord, within my heart,
      your presence, O God, is my only desire.
      O heal me, O God, O heal me, O God.

    3. Salvation, the joy that you send to me,
      your presence and Spirit give me strength.
      Your glory and praise I will sing and proclaim.
      O save me, O God, O save me, O God.

    For the persecuted Christians of Iraq, who have had seven churches bombed in the last three days. Christians...they don't hate you; they hate Christ.

    Psalme. II.

    The Argument. Psalme. II.

    Of Christ ye see
    A Prophecie
    Thus Dauid spake with vs:
    As merueiling
    That earthly king
    Should rage against him thus

    Quare fremuerunt.

    1. Why fumeth in sight: the Gentils spite,
    In fury raging stout?
    Why taketh in hond: the people fond,
    Uayne thinges to bring about?

    2. The kinges arise: the lordes deuise,
    in counsayles mett therto:
    Agaynst the Lord: with false accord,
    against his Christ they go.

    3. Let vs they say: breake downe their ray,
    of all their bondes and cordes:
    We will renounce: that they pronounce,
    their loores as stately lordes.

    4. But God of might: in heauen so bright,
    Shall laugh them all to scorne:
    The Lord on hie: shall them defie,
    they shall be once forlorne.

    5. Then shall his ire: speake all in fire,
    to them agayne therfore:
    He shall with threate: their malice beate,
    in his displeasure sore.

    6. Yet am I set: a king so great,
    on Sion hill full fast:
    Though me they kill: yet will that hill,
    my lawe and worde outcast.

    7. Gods wordes decreed: I (Christ) wil sprede
    for God thus sayd to me/e:
    My sonne I say: thou art, this day,
    I haue begotten the/e.

    8. Aske thou of me/e: I will geue the/e,
    to rule all Gentils londes:
    Thou shalt possesse: in suernesse,
    the world how wide it stondes.

    9. With iron rod: as mighty God,
    all rebels shalt thou bruse:
    And breake them all: in pieces small,
    as sherdes the potters vse.

    10. Be wise therfore: ye kinges the more,
    Receyue ye wisdomes lore:
    Ye iudges strong: of right and wrong,
    aduise you now before.

    11. The Lorde in feare: your seruice beare,
    with dread to him reioyce:
    Let rages be: resist not ye,
    him serue with ioyfull voyce.

    12. The sonne kisse ye: lest wroth he be,
    lose not the way of rest:
    For when his ire: is set on fire,
    who trust in hym be blest.


    And this is how it sounds in their native liturgical Syriac.
