Have mercy on me my LordA
For a foe treds o'er me and strivesB
Mindfully that time and againC
I be wearied by all adversityD
-
Cruelly he treds proud in his throngE
Stifling me with cruelness undueF
Never's the day I'm free of himG
Nor is my night empty of grim fearH
-
Yet be it day be it night whenC
Pondrous fear doth oppress kind FatherI
Thou my Defender art my hopeJ
And in each need to the end shall beD
-
Whilst I Lord being assuredK
In Thy promises neither blindL
Human connivance nor fierce threatM
Nor battle's dread would I fearH
-
Whatever I say they wrongly construeF
To my each deed they give rebukeN
Impious ones have turned all careO
To rendering me most loathefulP
-
In temples by veiled treacheryD
Or open offence they conspireI
To smite me my every path they markQ
No safety would they afford meD
-
And this Thou wouldst suffer just LordA
Evil ones are to rejoice in such doingsR
Wouldst Thou waiver bringing unrisingQ
Ruin to a Temple of such calumnyD
-
I know verily I know Lord eternalP
That my every defeat Thou dost reckonS
Tears from sad eyes Thou dost retainT
And dread afflictions' cause Thou dost knowU
-
Work of evildoers Thou turnst to naughtV
But to me a kindly ear dost lendW
And brights signs of Thy benevolenceX
And constant love to me Thou dost revealP
-
Whilst I Lord being assuredK
In Thy promises neither blindL
Human connivance nor fierce threatM
Nor battle's dread would I fearH
-
And ever to Thee fatherly guardY
Of my being fuli praise I'll offerI
In fitting song unhindered I'll feignT
Not giving free by thy grace my avowedZ
-
Sacrifice With Thine aid my feetA2
Shall stray not from Thy sacred pathB2
For such time as my spirit's abodeC2
In this frail body be O my LordA
