O Jehovah, hear my words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Supplication For Protection Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words, To my thoughts attentive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I will bring Prayer as morning sacrifice. 2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God Who delightest not in sin; Evil shall not dwell with thee, Nor the proud thy favor win. Evil doers thou dost hate, Lying tongues thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves Violence and base deceit. 3 In the fulness of thy grace To thy house I will repair; Bowing toward thy holy place, In thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make thy way before me plain. 4 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 5 O let all that trust thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by thee. For a blessing from thy store To the righteous thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With thy favor as a shield. Amen.
