To all the list'ning world thy works,, {.: A Thy wond'rous works, declare. eclares The thought of them shall to my soul Whilst to thy name, O thou most high! All those who have his goodness prov'd, Whose mercy ne'er forsook the man Sing praises, therefore, to the Lord, From Sion, his abode, Proclaim his deeds 'till all the world Confess no other God. SECOND PART 9TH PSALMLAT WITH heart and mouth, to thee O Lord, Will I sing laud and praise; And speak of all thy wond'rous works, And them declare always, I will be glad, and much rejoice And make my songs extol thy name Thou hast avenged all my wrong, Thou dost with justice hear my cause, PSALM XI. SINCE I have plac'd my trust in God, Why should I, like a tim'rous bird, A To distant mountains fly? The Lord hath both a temple here, And righteous throne above; Where he surveys the Sons of Men, . And how their counsels move. B3 I The righteous Lord will righteous deeds With signal favour grace; And to the upright man disclose The brightness of his face. PSALM XIII. How long wilt thou forget me Lord? How long wilt thou withdraw from me; How long shall anxious thoughts my soul, Since I have always plac'd my trust Thy saving health will come, and then Then shall my song, with praise inspir'd Who to thy servant in distress PSALM XVI. "I SET the Lord before my face, My spirit, Lord, thou wilt not leave Nor quit my body to the grave To see corruption there." Thus in the name of Christ, the Lord, The holy David sung, Of his prophetic tongue. Jesus, whom every saint adores, Was crucified and slain; Behold, the tomb its prey restores, When shall my feet arise and stand There sits the Son at God's right-hand, PSALM XVIII. No change of times shall ever shock Therefore to celebrate his fame, My grateful voice to heav'n I'll raise; And nations, strangers to his name, Shall thus be taught to sing his praise: "God to his King deliv'rance sends, Shews his anointed signal grace; His mercy evermore extends. To David, and his promis'd race." |
