PSALM 86. v. 8–13. (C. M.) A general Song of Praise to God.
I
Among the princes, earthly gods,There's none hath power divine;
Nor is their nature, mighty Lord,
Nor are their works like thine.
II
The nations thou hast made shall bringTheir offerings round thy throne;
For thou alone dost wonderous things,
For thou art God alone.
III
Lord, I would walk with holy feet;Teach me thine heavenly ways,
And my poor scattered thoughts unite
In God my father's praise.
IV
Great is thy mercy, and my tongueShall those sweet wonders tell,
How by thy grace my sinking soul
Rose from the deeps of hell.
