HYMN 574. Trust in God immortal, power∣full, faithfull.

Give laud, &c.

Psal. 146. v. 1, to 9. (2. METRE.)

MY soul praise thou the Lord, as long as thou hast breath, In Songs his praise record, and honour him till death. trust not in Kings, Nor humane seed, which are indeed vain helpless things.
Breath fails, and dust they be, there all their thoughts are laid: But happy, happy he whom Jacobs God doth aid, that hopes in him Who made all these, Heav'n, Earth, and Seas, and all therein.
That keepeth Covenant still, that helps the wrong'd to right; That doth the hungry fill, that gives the blind their sight; sets prisoners free; Loves upright men, and raiseth them bow'd down that be.
