Hear me, O Lord, the great support | |||
Of my integrity; | |||
Thou hast my former troubles eas’d, | |||
Now to my pray’rs draw nigh. | |||
Fond men! that would my glory stain, | |||
My government despise; | |||
How long will ye pursue vain hopes, | |||
And please yourselves with lies? | |||
Know that the Lord does righteous men | |||
With special favour own: | |||
Though you despise me, he ne’er will | |||
On my petitions frown. | |||
Sin not, but fear; let quiet thoughts | |||
Instruct and make you wise; | |||
Join a pure heart with trust in God | |||
As the best sacrifice. | |||
Though others in distrust of thee | |||
To other succours fly, | |||
Thou art our hope; Lord, cast on us | |||
A favourable eye. | |||
Thy love more cheers my heart than when | |||
Their corn has wish’d increase; | |||
Or when a happy vintage makes | |||
Their wine o’erflow the press. | |||
Down will I lie in peace, and sleep | |||
Shall close my wearied eyes; | |||
No fears disturb me, whilst I know | |||
In God my safety lies. | |||

Hear me, O Lord, the great support
Of my integrity;
Thou hast my former troubles eas’d,
Now to my pray’rs draw nigh.
Fond men! that would my glory stain,
My government despise;
How long will ye pursue vain hopes,
And please yourselves with lies?
Know that the Lord does righteous men
With special favour own:
Though you despise me, he ne’er will
On my petitions frown.
Sin not, but fear; let quiet thoughts
Instruct and make you wise;
Join a pure heart with trust in God
As the best sacrifice.
Though others in distrust of thee
To other succours fly,
Thou art our hope; Lord, cast on us
A favourable eye.
Thy love more cheers my heart than when
Their corn has wish’d increase;
Or when a happy vintage makes
Their wine o’erflow the press.
Down will I lie in peace, and sleep
Shall close my wearied eyes;
No fears disturb me, whilst I know
In God my safety lies.
