A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#237

237. With my whole Heart, my Sacrifice

1. With my whole Heart, my Sacrifice
Of Praise, to Thee, I'll bring;
And openly, before the Gods,
Thy Praise, my God, I'll sing.
2. Towards thy holy House I'll bow,
Thy Grace, and Truth, proclaim;
For over all, thou by thy Word,
Hast magnify'd thy Name.

3. God, in the Day I made my Cry,
A speedy Answer gave;
Did Strength encrease thro' all my Soul,
And from my Tears me save.
4. Lord, Thee, all Kings on Earth, shall praise;
When they shall hear thy Word.
5. They, in Jehovah's Ways, shall sing;
For great's thy Glory, Lord.

6. For tho' the Lord's enthron'd on high,
The Humble he respects;
But he far off beholds the Proud,
And with Disdain rejects.
7. Tho' circled with Distress, I walk,
Thee quick'ning me I have
Thou'lt stretch thy Hand on my Foe's Wrath
Thy Right-hand will me save.

8. What Mercy has for me begun,
The Lord will perfect make;
Thy Mercy fails not, Lord; the Work
Of thy Hands ne'er forsake.
