Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David‎#10

11a

Text:

A Morning Psalm

1 O Lord, how many are my foes,
In this weak state of flesh and blood?
My peace they daily discompose,
But my defence and hope is God.

2 Tired with the burdens of the day,
To thee I rais'd an evening cry:
Thou heardst when I began to pray,
And thine Almighty help was nigh.

3 Supported by thine heavenly aid
I laid me down and slept secure;
Not death should make my heart afraid,
Though I should wake and rise no more.

4 But God sustain'd me all the night;
Salvation doth to God belong:
He rais'd my head to see the light,
And makes his praise my morning song.
