Psalm CXL. Common Metre.
1
Protect us, Lord, from fatal harm;Behold our rising woes;
We trust alone thy powerful arm,
To scatter all our foes.
2
Their tongue is like a poison'd dart,Their thoughts are full of guile,
While rage and carnage swell their heart,
They wear a peaceful smile.
3
O God of grace, thy guardian care,When foes without invade,
Or spread within a deeper snare,
Supplies our constant aid.
4
Let falshood flee before thy face,Thy heavenly truth extend,
All nations taste thy heavenly grace,
And all delusion end.
5
With daily bread the poor supply,The cause of justice plead,
And be thy church exalted high,
With Christ the glorious head.
