The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#22a

22a. Judica me Domine

1 Judge and defend my cause O Lord,
from them that evill be:
From wicked and deceitful men,
O Lord deliver me.
2 For of my strength thou art the God,
why putst thou me thee fro?
And why walk I so heavily
oppressed with my foe?

3 Send out thou light and eke thy truth,
and lead me with thy grace:
Which may conduct me to thy hill,
and to thy dwelling place.
4 Then shall I to thy altar go
of God my joy and cheare:
And on my harp give thanks to thee,
O God my God most deare.

5 Why art thou then so sad, my soule,
and fretst thus in my brest?
Still trust in God for him to praise
I hold it alwaies best.
6 By him I have deliverance
against all paine and grief:
He is my God which doth alwaies
at need send me reliefe.
