Representative Text

1. Save, me, O God, for thy Name's Sake;
Me by thy Pow'r defend,
2. Lord, hear my Pray'r; and let thine Ear,
Unto my Words, attend.
3. For Strangers, causeless, have combin'd,
They up against me rise;
Fierce Men thirst for my Life, who set
Not God before they Eyes.
4, The Lord's my Help, he'll head my Friends,
Who for my Life have stood;
5, My watchful Foes with Ill reward,
And all his Threats make good.

6. So will I Free-will Off'rings bring.
And to Thee sacrifice;
Thy Name I'll ever praise, O Lord;
'Tis pleasing in thine Eyes.

7. For he hath freed me from my Straits,
Which very great have been;
Mine Eyes, with Pleasure, thy Rebukes,
On all my Foes have seen.
