Psalm 69 v.29-36 parts
********
When I poor and in sorrow
My state, Lord, do you know
O God, let your salvation
Raise poor, needy, each one
And I will praise His name here
A song with godly fear
His name great, I will thanks give
And in His presence live
The humble shall see, be glad
Not e\'er be mournful, sad
Your heart shall live that do seek
God, the lowly and meek
The Lord hears the poor people
Attends the prisoners calls
Despises them not, so we
Worship Him here truly
Let heaven and earth Him praise
Through all their nights and days
And the seas, each living thing
Therein their praise Him bring
Joining with all creation
They of every nation
For He will save His city
On mount Zion it be
They shall repair where ruins
Are, new building begins
And shall dwell there, the Lord He
Their keeper, helper be
Descendants of His servants
Shall inherit, shall sense
The Lord God there, they His name
Do love, of worthy fame
