Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 64
Henry Francis Lyte
Hear, O Lord, our supplication;
Let our souls on Thee repose!
Be our refuge, our salvation,
'Mid ten thousand threatening foes.
2 Lord, Thy saints have many troubles,
In their path lies many a snare:
But before Thy breath, like bubbles
Melt they soon in idle air.
3 Cunning are the foe's devices,
Bitter are his words of gall;
Sin on every side entices;
Lord, conduct us safe through all.
4 Be our foes by Thee confounded,
Let the world Thy goodness see;
While, by might and love surrounded,
We rejoice, and trust in Thee.
Henry Francis Lyte, 1834.
