My greatness and my pow'r thou wilt increase, and far extend: On ev'ry side against all grief thou wilt me comfort send.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.
Increase my greatness (my honor) and turn and comfort me.
Increase thou my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
Please increase my honor and comfort me all around.
The shield of thy salvation thou didst on me bestow: Thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow.
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, yet will I fear none ill: For thou art with me; and thy rod and staff me comfort still.
Unto the man that wicked is his sorrows shall abound; But him that trusteth in the Lord mercy shall compass round.
Yea, all the mighty kings on earth before him down shall fall; And all the nations of the world do service to him shall.
Shew me a sign for good, that they which do me hate may see, And be asham'd; because thou, Lord, didst help and comfort me.
