Language: English 
O Lord 
O Lord thy faithfulness and praise
   I will with viol sing;
My harp shall sound thy praise always 
laud and praise,
   O Israel’s holy King:
My mouth will joy, with pleasant voice
   When I shall sing to thee, 
And eke my soul will much rejoice
   For thou hast made me free.
