The Psalms of David ‎#IIIb

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

3 Supported by thine heav'nly 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 sustained 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.
