The Psalms of David ‎#53

53. Deliverance from Death

1 Into thine Hand, O GOD of Truth,
My Spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeem'd my Soul from Death,
And sav'd me from the Pit.

2 The Passions of my Hope and Fear
Maintain'd a doubtful Strife,
While Sorrow, Pain, and Sin conspir'd
To take away my Life.

3 "My Times are in thy Hand," I cry'd,
"Tho' I draw near the Dust;"
Thou art the Refuge where I hide,
The GOD in whom I trust.

4 O make Thy reconciled Face
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy Mercy-Sake,
For I’m entirely thine.

Pause.

5 [’Twas in my Haste my Spirit said,
"I must despair and die,
"I am cut off before thine Eyes;
But thou hast heard my Cry.]

6 Thy Goodness how divinely free,
How wond'rous is thy Grace
To those that fear thy Majesty,
And trust thy Promises!

7 O love the Lord, all ye his Saints,
And sing his Praises loud;
He’ll bend his Ear to your Complaints,
And recompense the Proud.
