5 Thy mercies, Lord, are very great, And do the [highest] heavens transcend; Thy truth and constant faithfulness Do to the [roaring] clouds extend.
5 Thy mercies, Lord, are very great, And do the [highest] heav'ns transcend; Thy truth and constant faithfulness Do to the [rowring] clouds extend.
6 Thy Justice is like mountains great, Thy judgments [are like] a great deep; Thy bounty and good providence Both man and beast doth [feed and] keep.
7 O God, how precious is thy love? Because that thou art [good and] just, Under the shadow of thy wings The sons of men do [put their] trust.
8 With the rich fatness of thy house They [sweetly] nourished shall be, And of thy streams of holy joys, [They shall] be made to drink by thee.
