A New Version of the Psalms
PSALM LXI.
Tate and Brady
Lord, hear my cry, regard my pray'r,
Which I, oppress'd with grief,
2 From earth's remotest parts address
To thee for kind relief.
O lodge me safe beyond the reach
Of persecuting pow'r;
3 Thou, who so oft from spiteful foes
Hast been my shelt'ring tow'r.
4. So shall I in thy sacred courts
Secure from danger lie;
Beneath the covert of thy wings
All future storms defy.
5 In sign my vows are heard, once more
I o'er thy chosen reign;
6 O bless with long and prosp'rous life
The king thou didst ordain.
7 Confirm his throne, and make his reign
Accepted in thy sight,
And let thy truth and mercy both
In his defence unite.
8 So shall I ever sing thy praise,
Thy Name for ever bless;
Devote my prosp'rous days to pay
The vows of my distress.
