Psalm 66 Part 2

Now shall my solemn vows be paid To that Almighty Power, That heard the long requests I made In my distressful hour.

My lips and cheerful heart prepare To make his mercies known; Come, ye that fear my God, and hear The wonders he has done.

When on my head huge sorrows fell, I sought his heav'nly aid; He saved my sinking soul from hell, And death's eternal shade.

If sin lay covered in my heart, While prayer employed my tongue, The Lord had shown me no regard, Nor I his praises sung.

But God (his name be ever blest) Has set my spirit free; Nor turned from him my poor request, Nor turned his heart from me.
