Book of Psalms
PSALM XLIII.
George Burgess
Judge me, God whom worlds obey,
Wage my war and guard my life,
From the sinner's cruel sway,
From the hosts of fraud and strife:
Thou art still my God and tow'r;
Wherefore roam I thus forlorn,
Cast from thine embracing pow'r,
List'ning to th' oppressor's scorn?
Send, oh send thy truth and light;
Let them lead my weary feet,
To thy mountain's holy height,
To thy temple's tented seat:
There, before thine altar's fire,
At my joy's celestial spring,
I will sweep the sounding lyre
To the praises of my King.
Wherefore bow'st thou down, my soul,
Sighing with thy load of care?
Why within my bosom roll
Threat'ning waves of dark despair?
Trust in God, and wait his hour,
Though it linger yet a while;
I shall praise his faithful pow'r,
Praise my God's preserving smile.
