Psalm 138

Abraham Coles

3 Thou didst me answer when I called,
And with Thy strength didst me make bold;
4 All kings shall Thee acknowledge, Lord!
When they Thy sayings shall be told:
5 They of Thy ways shall sing, thy great
And proper glory celebrate.

6 Though Thou art high, Thou dost regard
The lowly, and their prayers dost hear;
But dost the haughty know afar,
And on them look with eyes severe;
7 If faint I sink, Thou wilt revive.
Mid deaths and dangers save alive;

Wilt 'gainst the wrath of foes stretch forth
Thine arm, and save with Thy right hand;
8 Wilt perfect that which me concerns.
Till all begun complete shall stand:
Thy mercy is forevermore
Work of Thy hands, O give not o'er.
