Let thy salvation set me high.
[verse 30] My song shall give God praise,
And with thanksgiving him extol:
[verse 31] No bullock horn'd and hoov'd,
Or stalled ox presented whol
Can be so well approv'd.
[verse 32] This sight shall joy thy humble Saints:
Hearts seeking God shall live;
[verse 33] For lo, the Lord to poor mens plaint▪
A gracious ear doth give:
His pris'ners hee doth not contem',* 1.2
[verse 34] Let heaven, earth and seas
Give God due praises all of them,
And all that moves in these.
[verse 35] For God will Sion mountain save,* 1.3
And Judahs Cities rear:
Which men may in possession have
For constant dwelling there.
[verse 36] And all thy servants faithfull race
Inheriting the same:
There they shall have a dwelling place
That dearly love his name.
