Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 103 (v2)
Isaac Watts
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless His name,
Whose favours are divine.
2 Oh, 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 the oppress'd.
6 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His beloved Son.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
