Psal. 138. Confitebor tibi.
Davidis.
1
I will confesse thee to their face,with all the heart in mee,
Were Princes, Angels, Gods in place,
Psalmes will I sing to thee.
2
Prostrate before thy holy Seat,thy Name will I confesse;
Thy tender mercies there repeat,
and sing thy faithfulnesse.
For all thy powerfull deeds proclaime,
and ample proofe afford,
That thou hast magnifi'd thy Name,
above all Name thy Word!
3
The day I cri'd, to thee I cri'd,thou heardst, and answerdst mee:
My soule with vigour was suppli'd,
and strengthned much by thee.
4
Kings of the earth shall all confesse,and make thy praise appeare;
When of thy mouth, the faithfulnesse,
the words (O Lord) they heare.
5
Their songs shall of the waies entreat,that to the Lord belong:
For of the Lord the glory great,
is subject of their song.
6
For though the Lord be thron'd on hie,yet are his eies below:
276
the proud afar to know.
7
Amidst distresse although I went,reviv'd by thee I stand:
Thy hand against my haters sent,
to save me, thy right hand.
8
This worke, the hand that wrought me this,the Lord accomplish will:
Thy mercy, Lord, for ever is,
thy handy-worke fulfill.
