If I am not mistaken, this was my very first complete versification work, completed seven years ago or so. As an aspiring poet, I became inspired by Isaac Watts' compositions, and I tried my hand with the activity as soon as I got the chance.
I praise You, Lord, with all my heart,
Before all gods I sing;
I bow towards Your holy place
And praise You, faithful King.
You’ve lifted up above all things
Your word and wondrous name;
You’ve answered me and strengthened me,
The kings Your praise proclaim.
All earthly kings must hear Your word,
They sing Your holy ways;
Your glory is magnificent,
I’ll praise You all my days.
Though lifted high above all things,
You look on humble men;
The proud You shun from far away
And turn not back again.
Though hazards cover all my life,
My soul You still preserve;
My enemies You crumble down
As they justly deserve.
Your hand brings me deliverance,
This promise I believe;
Your love forever will endure,
Your presence I”ll perceive.
