[I did lift up my Voice to Jah]

I did lift up my Voice to Jah,
From out of Streightness great;
The Lord an Answer gave to me,
With an enlarged Seat.
The Tabernacles of the Just
the Voice of Joy afford,
And of Salvation; strongly works
the right Hand of the Lord,
I shall not dy, but live, and shall
the Works of Jah declare;
The Lord did sorely chasten me,
but me from Death did spare.
