Psalms and Hymns to the Living God ‎#119S

119S. O LORD, My Earnest Cry

1 O Lord, my earnest cry
Thy list'ning ear has heard;
with Thy salvation answer me,
and I will keep Thy word.

2 At early dawn I prayed,
Thy promises my trust;
at night I thought upon Thy Word,
most holy and most just.

3 O hear me in Thy grace,
in mercy quicken me;
the wicked plan to do me harm,
but they are far from Thee.

4 Thou, LORD, art near to me,
and true are Thy commands;
of old Thy testimonies show
Thy truth eternal stands.
