Lord, hear the voice of my request,
for which to thee I cry;
Have mercy, Lord, on me oppressed,
and help me speedily.
My heart confesseth unto thee,
I sue to have thy grace:
Then seek my face, saidst thou to me;
Lord, I will seek thy face.
In wrath turn not thy face away,
nor suffer me to slide;
My help thou hast been to this day,
be still my God and guide.
When both my parents me forsake,
and cast me off at large,
E'en then the Lord himself doth take
of me the care and charge.
Teach me, O Lord, the way to thee,
and lead me on forth right,
For fear of such as watch for me,
to trap me if they might.
O leave me not unto the will
of them that be my foes;
For they devise against me still
false witness to depose.
I utterly should faint, but that
this hope supporteth me,
That in the land wherein I live
God's goodness I shall see.
Trust still in God, whose whole thou art,
his will abide thou must;
He will support and ease thy heart,
if thou in him do trust.
