O Lord the hope of Israel all they that forsakeA
Thee shall be ashamed and they that depart fromB
Thee shall be written in the earth because they haveC
forsaken the Lord the fountain of living watersD
Heal me O Lord and I shall be healed save meE
and I shall be saved for Thou art my health and myF
great delivererG
I said in the cutting off of my days I shall go toH
the gates of the grave I have deprived myself of theI
residue of my yearsJ
I said I shall not see the Lord even the Lord in theI
land of the living I shall behold man no more withK
the inhabitants of the worldL
O Lord by Thee doth man live and from Thee isM
the life of my spirit therefore wilt Thou recover meE
and make me to liveN
Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from theI
pit of corruption for Thou hast cast all my sinsO
behind Thy backP
For Thy name's sake hast Thou put off thine angerG
for Thy praise hast Thou refrained from me that IF
should not be cut offQ
For the grave cannot praise Thee death cannotR
celebrate Thee they that go down into the pit cannotR
hope for Thy truthS
The living the living he shall praise Thee as I doH
this day the father to the children shall make knownT
Thy truthS
O Lord Thou hast been merciful Thou hastU
brought back my life from corruption Thou hastU
redeemed me from my sinV
They that follow after lying vanities forsake theirW
own mercyE
Therefore shall Thy songs be with me and myF
prayer unto the God of my lifeX
I will go unto the altar of my God unto God theI
joy of my youth and in Thy fear will I worshipY
towards Thy holy templeZ
I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksA2
giving I will pay that which I have vowed salB2
vation is of the LordC2
