O now acquaint thyself with God,
And be at peace, for he
Hath promis'd great and endless good
Shall hereby come to thee.

The law receive thou from his mouth,
The doctrine of solace;
And in thy heart embracing truth,
Lay up his words of grace.

To God most high, without delay,
If thou return with care,
Thy sin and guilt he'll take away,
Thy ruins all repair.

He'll bless the house wherein thou dwells
With riches competent;
With wealth of Ophir gold, or else
With wealth of sweet content.

Th' Almighty shall be thy defence,
Thy joy and thy solace;
To him thou shalt, with confidence,
Prevailing pray'rs address.

When thou art answer'd from above,
Thy vows in trouble made
Shall, with a glad return of love,
And thankful heart, be paid.

God shall establish every right
And just decree of thine;
For, from above, directing light
Upon thy ways shall shine.

Thy paths he will direct and own,
Thy counsels he will bless;
And all thy undertakings crown
With comfort and success.

When men around thee are cast down,
Thy head lift up thou shalt;
God won't the humble man disown,
But save and him exalt.

For of thy prayers, pure and sound,
Shalt thou alone partake
The gain, but e'en thy neighbours round
Shall prosper for thy sake.
