[Oh, hear my prayer Lord]

Oh, hear my prayer Lord,
And unto my desire
To bow thine ear accord,
I humbly, thee require:
And, in thy faithfulnesse,
Unto me answer make,
And in thy righteousnesse
Upon me pity take.

2

In judgement enter not

With me thy servant poor:
For why, this wel I wot,
Nor sinner can endure
The sight of thee, O God,
If thou his deeds shalt try,
He dare make none abode
Himself to justifie.

3

Behold the cruel foe

Me persecutes with spite,
My soul to overthrow:
Yea, he my life down quite
Unto the ground hath smote,
And made me dwel ful low
In darknesse, as forgot,
Or men dead long ago.

4

Therefore my spirit much vext

O'rewhelm'd is me within;
My heart right sore perplext,
And desolate hath bin.

5

Yet I do call to mind

What ancient dayes record,
Thy works of every kinde
I think upon, O Lord.

6

Lo, I do stretch my hands

To thee my help alone,
For thou well understands
All my compliant and mone:
My thristing soul desires,
And longeth after thee,
As thirsty ground requirs;
With rain refresht to be.

7

Lord, let my prayer prevail,

To answer it make speed,
For lo, my sp'rit doth fail;
Hide not thy face in need,
Lest I be like to those.


That do in darknesse sit,
Or him that downward goes
Into the dreadful pit.

8

Because I trust in thee,

O Lord, cause me to hear
Thy loving kindnesse free,
When mourning doth appear:
Cause me to know the way
Wherein my path should be,
For why my soul on hie:
I do lift up to thee.

9

From my fierce enemie

In safetie do me guide,
Because I fly to thee,
Lord, that thou mayst me hide.

10

My God alone art thou,

Teach me thy righteousnesse:
Thy sp'rit's good, lead me to
the land of uprightnesse.

11

O Lord for thy Names sake,

be pleas'd to quicken me:
And for thy truth, forth take
My soul from miserie.

12

And of thy grace destroy

My foes, and put to shame
All who my soul annoy:
For I thy servant am.
