- With heart I do accord to praise
- and laud the Lord,
- in presence of the just:
-
- 2 For great his works are found,
- to search them such are bound,
- as do him love and trust.
-
- 3 His works are glorious,
- also his righteousness
- it doth endure forever.
-
- 4 His wondrous works he would,
- we still remember should,
- His mercy faileth never.
-
- 5 Such as to him love bear
- A portion full fair
- he hath up for them laid,
- For this they shall well find,
- He will them have in mind,
- and keep them, as he said,
-
- 6 For he did not disdain
- His works to show them plain,
- by lightnings and by thunders:
- When he the heathen’s land
- Did give into their hand
- where they beheld his wonders.
-
- 7 Of all his works ensueth
- both judgment, right, and truth,
- whereto his statutes tend:
-
- 8 They are decreed sure
- For ever to endure,
- which equity doth end.
- Redemption he gave,
- His people for to save:
-
- 9 And hath also required
- His promise not to fail,
- But always to prevail:
- his holy name be feared.
-
- 10 Who so with heart full faine
- True wisdom would attain,
- the Lord fear and obey.
- Such as his laws do keep
- Shall knowledge have full deep,
- his praise shall last for aye.
