1. Hear, Lord, my Pray'r, to my Request,
Let thy kind Ear attend;
And in thy Truth, and Righteousness,
A gracious Answer send.
2. Let not thy Servant, by strict Rules,
Of Justice, Lord, be try'd;
For in thy Sight, no Man alive,
Could so be justify'd.

3. The Foe pursu'd my Soul, my Life
Down to the Ground did tread,
In Darkness made to dwell, as those
That Ages have been dead.
4. Therefore my Spirit sinks in me;
My Heart is desolate.
5. Past Times I call to Mind, and on
Thy, Works I meditate.

6. With out stretch'd Hand, thine Aid I crave;
For Thee my Soul doth pant,
As thirsty Lands, in Summer's Heat,
That cooling Showers want.

Second Part

7. Hear me with Speed, hide not thy Face,
My sinking Spirit save;
Lest I should soon become like them,
That lye down in the Grave.
8. Let me thy Kindness early hear,
For I in Thee confide;
Shew me the Way where I should go:
I look to Thee, my Guide.

9. From all my threat'ning Enemies,
O Lord deliver me;
For Shelter, from their Rage, I fly,
To hide myself with Thee.
10. Thou art my God, teach me thy Will
Forever to obey;
Let thy good Spirit me conduct,
In thy most righteous Way.

11. Revive me, Lord, and spare my Life.
That all thy Name may sing;
For th' Honour of thy faithful Word,
My Soul from Trouble bring.
12. In Mercy to me, rout my Foes,
Thy gracious Aids afford,
Destroy all that afflict my Soul;
For I'm thy Servant Lord.
