A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#CXLIX

CXLIX. O praise ye the Lord

1, 2 O Praise ye the Lord,
prepare your glad Voice.
His Praise in the great
Assembly to sing.
In our great Creator,
let Isr'el rejoice;
And Children of Sion
be glad in their King.

3, 4 Let them his great Name
extol in the Dance;
With Timbrel and Harp,
his Praises express,
Who always takes Pleasure
his Saints to advance;
And with his Salvation
the humble to bless.

5, 6 With Glory adorn'd,
his People shall sing
To God, who their Beds
with Safety does shield;
Their Mouths fill'd with Praises
of Him their great King;
Whilst a two-edged Sword
their right Hand shall wield.

7, 8 Just Vengeance to take
for Injuries past;
And punish those Lands
for Ruin design'd;
With Chains, as their Captives,
to tie their Kings fast,
With Fetters of Iron
their Nobles to bind.

9 Thus shall they make good.
when them they destroy,
The dreadful Decree
which God does proclaim:
Such Honour, and Triumph
his Saints shall enjoy.
O therefore forever
exalt his great Name!
