CXXXVIII. With my whole Heart, my GOD and King

1 With my whole Heart, my GOD and King,
Thy worthy Praise I will proclaim;
Before the GODS with Joy I'll sing,
And ever bless thy holy Name.

2 I'll worship at thy sacred Seat;
And, with thy Love divine inspir'd,
The Praises of thy Truth repeat,
Thy Truth through all thy Works admir'd.

3 Thou graciously inclin'd thine Ear,
When I to thee address'd my cry;
And when my Soul was press'd with Fear,
Didst inward Strength to me supply.

4 Therefore shall ev'ry earthly Prince
Thy Name with Prsise pursue;
Whom these admir'd Events convince,
That all thy Works are just and true.

5 They all thy wond'rous Ways, O LORD,
With chearful Songs of Joy shall bless;
And all thy glorious Acts record,
And still thy awful Pow'r confess.

6 For GOD, although enthron'd on high,
Does thence the Poor respect;
The Proud far off, his scornful Eye,
Beholds with ever just Neglect.

7 Though I with Trouble am oppress'd,
He shall my spiteful Foes disarm;
Relieve my Soul, when most distress'd,
And keep me safe from ev'ry Harm.

8 The LORD, whose Mercies ever last,
Shall fix my happy State;
And mindful of his Favours past,
Shall his own glorious Work compleat.
