Text:A Psalm or Song of David

PCVIII. A Psalm or Song of David

1 O God my heart is fix'd, I'll sing:
Yea with my glory praise.
Awake thou psaltery and harp,
My self I'll early raise,
3 O thou Jehovah thee will I,
The people praise among:
Also among the nations
Thee will I praise with song.

4 For great above the heavens is
Ihy free benignity
Thy verity doth also reach
Unto the cloudy sky;
5 Be thou exalted up on high
Above the heavens O God,
Also thy glorious majesty
O'er ail the earth abroad,

6 That those who thy beloved are
Delivered may be:
O do thou save with thy right hand,
And answer give to me.
7 God spoken hath in's holiness,
Rejoyce therefore I shall:
Of Sechem Til division make,
And mete out Succoth's vale,
8 Mine Gilead is, Manasseh mine,
And Ephraim also he
Is of mine head the strength, the law
Shall Judah give for me.

9 My wash pot Moab is, I will
My shoe o'er Edom fling:
And o'er the land of Philistines
I will in triumph sing.

10 Who will me lead along unto
The city fortify'd?
Who is he that to Edom will
Conduct me as a guide?
11 Wilt thou not this perform, O God,
Who didst us cast thee fro?
And likewise wilt not thou, O God,
Forth with our armies go?

12 From trouble give us help, for vain
Is man's salvation.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly,
For he'll our foes tread down.
