{{Vs|1}} My crafty foe, with flatt'ring art, | |||
His wicked purpose would disguise; | |||
But reason whispers to my heart, | |||
He ne'er sets God before his eyes. | |||
He | {{Vs|2}} He soothes himself, retir'd from sight, | ||
Secure he thinks his treach'rous game; | |||
Till his dark plots, expos'd to light, | |||
Their false contriver brand with shame. | |||
{{Vs|3}} In deeds he is my foe confess'd, | |||
Whilst with his tongue he speaks me fair; | |||
True wisdom's banish'd from his breast, | |||
And | And vice has sole dominion there. | ||
{{Vs|4}} His wakeful malice spends the night | |||
In forging his accurs'd designs; | |||
His obstinate ungen'rous spite | |||
No execrable means declines. | |||
{{Vs|5}} But, Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope, | |||
Above the heav'nly orb ascends; | |||
Thy sacred truth's unmeasur'd scope | |||
Beyond the spreading sky extends. | |||
{{Vs|6}} Thy justice, like the hills, remains; | |||
Unfathom'd depths thy judgments are; | |||
Thy providence the world sustains; | |||
The whole creation is thy care. | |||
{{Vs|7}} Since of thy goodness all partake, | |||
With what assurance should the just | |||
Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make, | |||
And saints to thy protection trust. | |||
{{Vs|8}} Such guests shall to thy courts be led | |||
To banquet on thy love's repast; | |||
And drink, as from a fountain's head, | |||
Of joys that shall for ever last. | |||
{{Vs|9}} With thee the springs of life remain; | |||
Thy presence is eternal day: | |||
{{Vs|10}} O let thy saints thy favour gain; | |||
To upright hearts thy truth display. | |||
{{Vs|11}} Whilst pride's insulting foot would spurn, | |||
And wicked hand my life surprise; | |||
{{Vs|12}} Their mischiefs on themselves return; | |||
Down, down they're fall'n, no more to rise.}} | |||

In trust thereof as in Thy wings, | In trust thereof as in Thy wings, | ||
The sons of men shall dwell. | The sons of men shall dwell. |
