The Psalms of David ‎#XXXIa

XXXIa. Deliverance from Death

1 Into thy hand, O God of truth,
My spirit I commit;
Thou hast redeem'd my soul from death,
And sav'd me from the pit.

2 The passions of my hope and fear
Maintain'd a doubtful strife,
While sorrow, pain, and sin conspir'd
To take away my life.

3 My times are in thine hand, I cry'd,
Though I draw near the dust;
Thou art the refuge where I hide,
The GOD in whom I trust.
4 O make thy reconciled face,
Upon thy servant shine,
And save me for thy mercy's sake,
For I'm entirely thine.

Pause.

5 ['Twas in my haste, my spirit said,
I must despair and die,
I am cut off before thine eyes;
But thou hast heard my cry.]

6 Thy goodness how divinely free!
How wond'rous is thy grace,
To those that fear thy majesty,
And trust thy promises!

7 O love the Lord, all ye his saints,
And sing his praises loud;
He'll bend his ear to your complaints,
And recompense the proud.
