Tune: Binchester

('Happy are they, they that love God')

Psalm 57 v.7-11

*********

My heart is fixed, steadfast on you

O God, you my God true

I will sing and will give you praise

With melodies you raise

 

Awake, my tongue, and instruments

For I will praise Him hence

Bring psaltery and harp to play

Delight in worship's way

 

I will praise you, Lord, midst people

Sing to you midst them all

For your mercy great ever be

Your truth to the clouds, see

 

Your mercy great to the heavens

So be exalted then

O God, and let your glory be

Above the earth endlessly

      I just hope you are not talking about yourself here with all that singing and awakening of your tongue. If you have to praise Him, just yell it from a mountain-top! And promise not to sing!
