1. To you, O L ORD, I cry, you are my rock alone; and L ORD, if you will silent be, then to the pit I’m gone. For mercy now I raise my plea; you are my help alone. [Sing to the Lord 28]

2. 2. To your most holy place I lift my hands again. O do not class me with the vile, along with wicked men, who outwardly portray a smile but harbour ill within.

3. 3. Requite their evil deeds, their practices repay! Since they are blind to G OD ’s good deeds, let them not see the day. But I shall praise the L ORD my strength, who listens when I pray.

My joyful heart trusts him, and thankfully I sing. The L ORD our strength and shield abides, our saviour and our king. O save and bless, and shepherd us, and home, L ORD, safely bring!
