Psalm CXXXVI.
1
Give thanks unto the Lord,
For he is good and kind:
And let him be ador'd
With all your heart and mind.
For certainly
His mercy shall
Endure to all
Eternity.
2
O praise the God of Gods,
And ever to him sing:
Extol the Lord of Lords,
And make his praises ring.
For certainly, &c.
3
To him and him alone,
All praise and glory be:
By whom alone are done
The wonders that we see.
For certainly, &c.
4
Who by his skill divine,
Did frame the heavens high:
And stretch'd the earth by line,
Above the seas to lie.
For certainly, &c.
5
To him who did display
Those glorious lamps of light:
The sun to rule by day,
The moon and stars by night.
For certainly, &c.
6
Who all the first-born slew
That were in Egypt's land:
And out his people drew
By his almighty hand.
For certainly, &c.
7
To him by whom the sea
Divided was in two:
And so was made a way
For Israel to go.
For certainly, &c.
8
To him who drowned quite,
Both Pharaoh and his host:
And led his people right,
Along the desart coast.
For certainly, &c.
9
To him by whom great kings
Were slain and smitten down:
Yea very famous kings,
And men of great renown.
For certainly, &c.
10
Sihon who rul'd among
The Amorites with his train;
And Og the giant strong,
That did in Bashan reign.
For certainly, &c.
11
Who did bestow their lands
On those of Jacob's race,
For their inheritance,
And fixed dwelling place.
For certainly, &c.
12
Who hath upon us thought,
In our afflicted state:
And from the bondage bought
Of those that did us hate.
For certainly, &c.
13
Who to all flesh doth bring
The food by which they live:
Unto his heavenly king
All thanks and praises give.
For certainly, &c.
