Psalm XLIII. Common Metre. Safety in Divine Protection.
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my causeAgainst a sinful race;
From vile oppression and deceit
Secure me by thy grace.
2
On thee my stedfast hope depends,And am I left to mourn?
To sink in sorrows, and in vain,
Implore thy kind return?
3
Oh send thy light to guide my feet,And bid thy truth appear,
To taste thy mercies there.
4
Then to thy altar, oh my God,My joyful feet shall rise,
And my triumphant songs shall praise,
The God that rules the skies.
5
Sink not, my soul, beneath thy fear,Nor yield to weak despair;
For I shall live to praise the Lord,
And bless his guardian care.
