A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#30

30. The Lord attend to thy Request

1. The Lord attend to thy Request,
And hear thee when thou art distrest:
The Name of Jacob's God defend,
And be to thee a constant Friend.
2. Thee help, and succour, with his Grace,
From his most holy dwelling Place;
Thee strengthen, and support thy Throne,
From Zion, Seat of his Renown,

3. Thy Free-will Off'rings bear in Mind;
And to thy Sacrifice be kind.
4. Crown thy Heart's Wishes with Success;
And all thy wholsome Counsels bless.

5. In thy Salvation we'll rejoice;
Our Banners, with triumphant Voice,
In our God's Name, we'll high erect;
The Lord all thy Desires respect.
6. Now know I, that the God we serve,
Will his Anointed safe preserve;
From Heav'n he'll hear, and Help command,
With saving Strength of his Right-hand.

7. Some trust in Chariots, fetch'd from far,
And some in Horses, train'd for War;
But we our God will call to Mind,
In whom alone we Safety find.
8. They broke, dispers'd, are forc'd to yield;
While we, in Triumph, keep the Field.
9. Save, Lord, and let our heav'nly King
Hear, when we call, or Praises sing.
