← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 O Bless the Lord, my soul; Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless his Name, Whose favours are divine.

2 O bless the Lord, my soul; Nor let his mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die.

3 'Tis he forgives thy sins, 'Tis he relieves thy pain, 'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again.

4 He crowns thy life with love, When ransom'd from the grave; He that redeem'd my soul from hell Hath sovereign power to save.

5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, And justice for th' opprest.

6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world his truth and grace By his beloved Son.
