Poem by Isaac Watts

Psalm 9. Part 1 (With my whole heart I'll raise my song)

Wrath and mercy from the judgment-seat.

With my whole heart I'll raise my song,
Thy wonders I'll proclaim;
Thou, sovereign Judge of right and wrong,
Wilt put my foes to shame.

I'll sing thy majesty and grace;
My God prepares his throne
To judge the world in righteousness,
And make his vengeance known.

Then shall the Lord a refuge prove
For all the poor oppressed;
To save the people of his love,
And give the weary rest.

The men that know thy name will trust
In thy abundant grace;
For thou hast ne'er forsook the just,
Who humbly seek thy face.

Sing praises to the righteous Lord,
Who dwells on Zion's hill,
Who executes his threatening word,
And doth his grace fulfil.

1. Psalm 103. Part 1 (O bless the Lord, my soul!)
2. Psalm 51. Part 1 (Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive)
3. Psalm 42. Part 1 (With earnest longings of the mind)
4. Psalm 139. Part 1 (Lord, thou hast searched and seen me through)
5. Hymn 74 (We are a garden walled around)
