P69b. The name of God I with a song

30 The name of God I with a song
most cheerfully will praise;
and I, in giving thanks to him,
his name will highly raise.
31 This to the Lord a sacrifice
more grateful far shall prove
than bullock, ox, or any beast
that hath both horn and hoof.

32 When this the humble men shall see,
it joy to them shall give:
all ye that after God do seek,
your heart shall ever live.
33 For God the poor hears, and will not
his prisoners contemn.
34 Let heaven, and earth, and sea, him praise,
and all that move in them.

35 For God will Judah’s cities build,
and he will Zion save,
that they may dwell therein, and it
in sure possession have.
36 And they that are his servants’ seed
inherit shall the same;
and they have their dwelling there
that love his blessed name.
