A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#197

197. O God, my Heart is fix'd

1. O God, my Heart is fix'd;
My Tongue shall sing thy Praise,
2. Awake both Psaltery, and Harp;
Myself I'll early raise.
3. Among the People, Lord,
I'll praise thy glorious Name;
And to the Nations round about,
I'll sing, and spread thy Fame.

4. Thy Mercy, Lord, the Heav'nsl
Thy Truth, the Clouds, transcend,
5. O let thy Glory, Heav'ns above,
And o'er the Earth, extend.
6. That thy Beloved, still,
Deliverance may have;
O hear the fervent Pray'rs I make,
And let thy Right-Hand save.

7. God spake in's Holiness,
My Joy's it cannot fail;
Fair Shechem's Soil, I will divide,
And. meet out Succoth's. Vale.
8. Gilead is on my Side,
Manassah owns my Cause;
Ephr'im's large Tribe's my chiefest Strength,
And Judah gives forth Laws.

9. Moab shall wash my Feet,
O'er Edom I will tread;
The proud Philistian Lords shall stoop,
And to my Triumphs add.
10. Who to the City strong.
And Edom's Tow'rs shall lead?
11. Lord, wilt not thou, who cast us off,
Our Armies now succeed?

12. From Trouble give us Help,
Man's Help is vain we own.
13. Thro' God, we shall do valiant Acts;
'Tis he, our Foes treads down.
