Judge me, O God, and plead my cause
Against a sinful race;
|: From vile oppression and deceit
Secure me by Thy grace. :|
On Thee my steadfast hope depends,
And am I left to mourn?
|: To sink in sorrows and in vain
Implore Thy kind return? :|
O send Thy light to guide my feet
And bid Thy truth appear;
|: Conduct me to Thy holy hill
And taste Thy mercies there. :|
Then to Thy altar, oh my God,
My joyful feet shall rise,
|: And my triumphant
songs shall praise
The God that rules the skies. :|
