A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#115

115. Let all the Earth, in Shouts, to God

1. Let all the Earth, in Shouts, to God,
Their chearful Voices raise;
2. Sing forth the Honour of his Name,
And glorious make his Praise,
3. Say unto God, "In thy great Works,
"How terrible art thou?
"Thy Foes, by thine almighty Pow'r,
"To thee, are forc'd to bow.

4. All Earth shall worship Thee, and sing
The Glories of thy Name.
5. Come, see the Works of God, his Deeds
Struck Terror where they came.
6. He turn'd the Sea into dry Land,
Our Fathers pass'd the Flood,
Secure on Foot; there we began
To triumph in our God.

7. He ever ruleth by his Pow'r,
His Eyes the Nations spy;
Then let not mortal Rebels dare,
Themselves to magnify.
8. O all ye People, bless our God;
And loudly shout his Praise.
9. 'Tis he who holds our Soul in Life,
And stablisheth our Ways.

10. For thou, O God, hast proved us;
As Fire the Ore refines.
11. Thou brought'st us into Straits; and laid
Affliction on our Loins.
12. Thou mad'st Men o'er our Heads to ride,
With Insult, and Disgrace:
Thou us, thro' Fire and Water, led'st
Safe to a wealthy Place.

Second Part

13. I'll to thy House, with Off'rings, go;
And Thee my Vows will pay:
14. Which my Lips utter'd, and Mouth spoke,
When Troubles on me lay,
15. I'll offer Thee burnt Sacrifice,
The very best that are;
The Fat of Rams, the choicest Bulls,
And Goats, I will prepare.

16. Come, hear, all ye that fear the Lord;
To you I will make known,
The many wondrous Acts of Grace,
The Lord, for me hath done.
17. My Mouth, to him that rules above,
Pour'd out it's fervent Cry;
He heard; and then my joyful Tongue
Extol'd his Name on high.

18. God would not hear; if in my Heart,
I any Sin regard:
19. But, verily, he bow'd his Ear,
And all my Pray'r hath heard.
20. O blessed be the sov'reign Lord,
Who hath not turn'd his Face
From my Request; nor yet with-held.
From me his wondrous Grace.
