The Psalms of David ‎#169a

169a. A Psalm before Prayer

1 Sing to the Lord Jehovah's Name,
And in his Strength rejoice;
When his Salvation is our Theme,
Exalted be our Voice.

2 With Thanks approach his awful Sight,
And Psalms of Honour sing;
The Lord's a GOD of boundless Might,
The whole Creation's King.

3 Let Princes hear, let Angels know,
How mean their Natures seem,
Those Gods on high and Gods below,
When once compar'd with Him.

4 Earth, with its Caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his spacious Hand;
He fix'd the Seas what Bounds to keep,
And where the Hills must stand.

5 Come, and with humble Souls adore,
Come, kneel before his Face;
O may the Creatures of his Pow'r
Be Children of his Grace!

6 Now is the Time; he bends his Ear,
And waits for your Request;
Come, lest he rouse his Wrath and swear,
"Ye shall not see my Rest."
