Psalm 7:17

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

According to his righteousness the Lord I'll magnify; And will sing praise unto the name of God that is most high.

See the chapter Copy

In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy, and sing unto thy name.

The Lord God his salvation hath caused to be known; His justice in the heathen's sight he openly hath shown.

His work most honourable is, most glorious and pure, And his untainted righteousness for ever doth endure.

But thou, O Lord, art the most High, for ever to remain.

Thy righteousness shall also be declared by my tongue; The praises that belong to thee speak shall it all day long.

O God, of my salvation God, me from blood-guiltiness Set free; then shall my tongue aloud sing of thy righteousness.

The mem'ry of thy goodness great they largely shall express; With songs of praise they shall extol thy perfect righteousness.

To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, And to thy name, O thou most High, due praise aloud to sing.

Let burning coals upon them fall, them throw in fiery flame, And in deep pits, that they no more may rise out of the same.
