Psalms 22:20-30 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

20. From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogsmy darling set thou free.

21. Out of the roaring lion's mouthdo thou me shield and save:For from the horns of unicornsan ear to me thou gave.

22. I will shew forth thy name untothose that my brethren are;Amidst the congregationthy praise I will declare.

23. Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear;him glorify all yeThe seed of Jacob: fear him allthat Isr'el's children be.

24. For he despis'd not nor abhorr'dth' afflicted's misery;Nor from him hid his face, but heardwhen he to him did cry.

25. Within the congregation greatmy praise shall be of thee;My vows before them that him fearshall be perform'd by me.

26. The meek shall eat,and shall be fill'd;they also praise shall giveUnto the Lord that do him seek:your heart shall ever live.

27. All ends of th' earth remember shall,and turn the Lord unto;All kindreds of the nationsto him shall homage do:

28. Because the kingdom to the Lorddoth appertain as his;Likewise among the nationsthe Governor he is.

29. Earth's fat ones eat,and worship shall:all who to dust descendShall bow to him; none of them canhis soul from death defend.

30. A seed shall service do to him;unto the Lord it shallBe for a generationreckon'd in ages all.
