A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#63

63. My Heart concludes, the bold in Sin

1. My Heart concludes, the bold in Sin,
No fear of God has lodg'd within.
2. He blinds his Eyes with fond self Love;
Until his Crimes most hateful prove.
3. False, and mischievous, Words he speaks;
Wisdom, and Goodness, he forsakes.
4. In Bed, he plotts some vile Intent,
His hardened Heart's on Mischief bent.

5. Thy Mercy, Lord, from Heav'n shines;
And spares the Sinner, in his Sins:
Thy Faithfulness unto thy Word,
And Saints, above the Sky has soar'd.
6. Thy Justice, like great Mounts, remains.
Thy Judgment mighty Depths contains;
Lord, by thy providential Care,
Both Man, and Beast, preserved are.

Second Part

7. How wondrous excellent's thy Love!
O thou who dwell'st the Heav'ns above!
Therefore Men's Sons, when they're distrest,
Fly to thy shelt'ring Wings for Rest.
8. With Fatness of thy House supply'd,
Their joyful Souls are satisfy'd;
From Thee immortal Pleasures rill,
Where thou shalt make them drink their fill.

9. Life's Fountain is alone with Thee;
Light, in thy glorious Light, we see.
10. To them that know Thee, Love impart;
Thy Justice to th' upright in Heart.
11. Let no proud Foot destructive prove;
Nor wicked Hand my Hopes remove.
12. The Wicked fallen are, by Surprise;
They are thrust down, no more to rise.
