O Lord, give ear to my just cause,
attend unto my cry,
And hear the pray'r I offer up
to thee unfeignedly;
And let the judgment of my cause
proceed always from thee,
And let thine eyes behold and clear
truth and simplicity.
Thou hast well tried me in the night,
and yet could'st nothing find,
That I have spoken with my tongue,
that was not in my mind.
As for the works of wicked men,
and paths perverse and ill,
For love of thy most holy Name
I have refrainèd still.
Then in thy paths that be most pure,
Lord, guide me, and preserve,
That from the way wherein I walk
my steps may never swerve.
For I do call to thee, O Lord,
surely thou wilt me aid;
Then hear my pray'r, and weigh right well
the words that I have said.
O thou, the Savior of all them
that put their trust in thee,
Declare thy strength on them that spurn
against thy majesty.
O keep me as thou wouldest keep
the apple of thine eye,
And under cover of thy wings
defend me secretly;
