Argument.

The Antient Sabbath celebrated here, For providences to the Saints most dear.

All People, &c.

 [verse 1]  IT is a good thing to record
The Loving-kindness of the Lord,
And to sing praises cheerfully
Unto thy Name, O thou most high.

 [verse 2]  And in the morning to shew forth
Thy Loving-kindness of such worth;
And every night for to express
The record of thy faithfulness.

 [verse 3]  Upon a Ten-string'd Instrument
With Psaltery and Songs consent,
And on the Harp with solemn sound
To make thy Glorious Name renown'd.

 [verse 4]  For thou hast made me glad, O Lord,
With thy great works which I record:
And in thy handy-works will I
Triumph, O Lord, exceedingly.
