psalm LXVI. (Book 66)

London Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉O all ye lands, in God re-joyce; 〈♫〉〈♫〉Sing forth his praise and fame:

〈♫〉〈♫〉Ex--tol him both with heart and voice 〈♫〉〈♫〉and glo---ri---fy his name. [verse 3] How terrible, O Lord, say ye, in all thy works thou art! Thy foes are forc'd to yield to thee, though with a feigned heart. [verse 4] To thee shall all the earth bow down, and sing to thee, O Lord: Thy holy names reserv'd renown in songs shall they record. [verse 5] The works of God, O come and see; ye shall acknowledg then How terrible his actions be, unto the sons of men. [verse 6] He turn'd the sea to firm dry land, and where the ships do swim, We went on foot as on the sand, there we rejoyc't in him. [verse 7] He rules with pow'r for ev'rmore, his eyes all lands espy: Let not rebellious men therefore exalt themselves on high.

The second part.

[verse 8] O all ye people, bless our God, and let the chearful voice Of his due praise be heard abroad, while we in him rejoice. [verse 9] Who setting dangers all aside, our soul in life doth stay: And suff'ring not our foot to slide, upholds us in our way.

[verse 10] But thou hast tri'd and prov'd us yet, ev'n as the skilful tryer Doth prove his Silver, casting it into the hottest fire. [verse 11] Thou broughtest us into the net, where we intangled were: And great afflictions, very great, thou mad'st our loins to bear. [verse 11] Thou mad'st fierce men ride o're our heads we went through flames and floods: But now thou hast thy people led to places stor'd with goods.

The third part.

[verse 13] Lord, I will go into thy house, burnt-off'rings I will bring: And I will pay thee all my vows, fulfilling ev'ry thing. [verse 14] The vows which with my mouth I speak, in all my grief and smart: The vows I say which I did make in anguish of my heart. [verse 5] I'le offer thee burnt-sacrifice, incense and fat of rams: And I will offer thee likewise fat bullocks, goats, and lambs, [verse 16] Come forth and hearken, ev'ry one that fears the living Lord: What he for my poor soul hath done, I will to you record. [verse 17] I call'd upon his sacred name, this mouth to him did cry: My tongue likewise extoll'd his fame with great alacrity. [verse 18] I also watch't least any way my heart should sin regard: For then I knew when I did pray, my pray'r should not be heard.

[verse 19] But God hath heard me verily, and did full well attend Unto my pray'r and fervent cry, which did to him ascend. [verse 20] All praise to him, to him I say, that always had regard; And nev'r put my pray'r away, nor sent me home unheard.
