Jehovah to my words give ear | B |
My meditation waigh | C |
The voyce of my complaining hear | B |
My King and God for unto thee I pray | D |
Jehovah thou my early voyce | E |
Shalt in the morning hear | B |
Ith'morning I to thee with choyce | E |
Will rank my Prayers and watch till thou appear | F |
For thou art not a God that takes | E |
In wickedness delight | G |
Evil with thee no biding makes | E |
Fools or mad men stand not within thy sight | G |
All workers of iniquity | H |
Thou wilt destroy that speak a ly | I |
The bloodi' and guileful man God doth detest | J |
But I will in thy mercies dear | F |
Thy numerous mercies go | K |
Into thy house I in thy fear | F |
Will towards thy holy temple worship low | K |
Lord lead me in thy righteousness | E |
Lead me because of those | E |
That do observe if I transgress | E |
Set thy wayes right before where my step goes | E |
For in his faltring mouth unstable | L |
No word is firm or sooth | M |
Their inside troubles miserable | L |
An open grave their throat their tongue they smooth | M |
God find them guilty let them fall | N |
By their own counsels quell'd | O |
Push them in their rebellions all | N |
Still on for against thee they have rebell'd | O |
Then all who trust in thee shall bring | P |
Their joy while thou from blame | Q |
Defend'st them they shall ever sing | P |
And shall triumph in thee who love thy name | Q |
For thou Jehovah wilt be found | R |
To bless the just man still | S |
As with a shield thou wilt surround | R |
Him with thy lasting favour and good will | S |
