2nd Version, (Scottish Metrical Psalms) View video from YouTube Tune - Need
7 Lord, let my pray'r prevail, To answer it make speed; For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail: Hide not thy face in need; Lest I be like to those That do in darkness sit, Or him that downward goes Into the dreadful pit.
8 Because I trust in thee, O Lord, cause me to hear Thy loving-kindness free, When morning doth appear: Cause me to know the way Wherein my path should be; For why, my soul on high I do lift up to thee.
9 From my fierce enemy In safety do me guide, Because I flee to thee, Lord, that thou may'st me hide.
10 My God alone art thou, Teach me thy righteousness: Thy Sp'rit's good, lead me to The land of uprightness.
11 O Lord, for thy name's sake, Be pleas'd to quicken me; And, for thy truth, forth take My soul from misery.
12 And of thy grace destroy My foes, and put to shame All who my soul annoy; For I thy servant am. |
