Psalm 66 (Version 2, Part 2)

Now shall my solemn vows be paid

To that Almighty power,

That heard the long requests I made

In my distressful hour.

My lips and cheerful heart prepare

To make his mercies known;

Come, ye that fear my God, and hear

The wonders he has done.

When on my head huge sorrows fell,

I sought his heavenly aid,

He sav'd my sinking soul from hell,

And death's eternal shade.

If sin lay cover'd in my heart,

While prayer employ'd my tongue,

The Lord had shewn me no regard,

Nor I his praises sung.

But God, (his Name be ever blest)

Hath set my spirit free,

Nor turn'd from him my poor request,

Nor turn'd his heart from me.
