Psalm LIV. Common Metre.
1
Behold us, Lord, and let our cryBefore thy throne ascend,
Cast thou on us a pitying eye,
And still our lives defend.
2
For slaughtering foes insult us round,Oppressive, proud and vain,
They cast thy temples to the ground,
And all our rites prophane.
3
Yet thy forgiving grace we trust,And in thy power rejoice;
Thine arm shall crush our foes to dust,
Thy praise inspire our voice.
4
Be thou with those whose friendly hand,Upheld us in distress,
Extend thy truth through every land,
And still thy people bless.
