A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#110

110. Lord, hearken to my Cry

1. Lord, hearken to my Cry,
And to my Pray'r attend.
2. From th' Earth's remotest Parts, to Thee,
My Cry shall still ascend;
When sadly overwhelm'd,
My Heart does fainting lye:
Conduct me to the Rock of Strength,
That higher is than I.

3. My Shelter thou hast been,
From Foes my pow'rful Aid.
4. I'll ever in thy Courts abide,
And trust in thy Wing's Shade.
5. For thou, O God, hast heard;
My Vows before Thee came;
Thou hast appointed me the Lot
Of those that fear thy Name.

6. Thou to the King wilt add
Long Life, and happy Reign;
As many Generations still,
His future Years maintain.
7. He shall forever sit,
O God, before thy Face,
Upon his Throne, secured by
United Truth, and Grace.

8. So to thy Name I'11 sing,
My endless Songs of Praise;
And chearfully perform my Vows,
Thro' all my future Days.
