PSALM XLIII.

I

O God! deliver me from Wrong;
Defend me from an impious Throng:

177

From secret Guile and open Strife
Relieve my Fears, and free my Life.

II

O God! from whom my Strength is giv'n,
Why from thy Presence am I driv'n?
Why rove I thus, of Joy bereft,
And to my Foes defenceless left?

III

Of heav'nly Light impart a Ray;
Let Truth divine direct my Way;
And to the favour'd Mountain guide,
Which thy Abode has sanctify'd.

IV

To God I then my Steps will bend;
His holy Altar to attend:
The God who does my Joys inspire;
The God to whom I tune my Lyre.

V

Why droops my Soul with Sorrow fraught,
And dire Inquietude of Thought?
That dire Inquietude resign,
Deliver'd to the Pow'r divine.

VI

To him I yet my Voice will raise,
In pious Melody of Praise:
To him who does my Cheeks renew
With florid Health and roseate Hue.
