Psalm LXI. (Book 61)

To the 119 Psalm Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉RE--gard, O Lord when I com-plain, 〈♫〉〈♫〉and make my suit to thee: 〈♫〉〈♫〉Let not my pray'r as-cend in vain, 〈♫〉〈♫〉but give good ear to me. 〈♫〉〈♫〉For from the earths re-mo---test part 〈♫〉〈♫〉I cry for some re---lief 〈♫〉〈♫〉To thee, O Lord, when as my heart 〈♫〉〈♫〉is o---ver-whelm'd with grief. Conduct me to that rock of pow'r that higher is than I: [verse 3] For thou wast my safe hope and tow'r against the enemy.

[verse 4] And in thy tabernacle still I gladly will abide: Under thy secret wings I will continually confide. [verse 5] The vows that did my soul engage, Lord thou hast heard the same, And gav'st me to the heritage of those that fear thy name. [verse 6] To thine anointed thou didst give prolonged days to see: The many years that he shall live, the longest age shall be. [verse 7] Before the Lord he shall abide, for ever to endure: Thy truth and mercy O provide, which may preserve him sure. [verse 8] So will I sing from day to day the praises of thy name: That having vow'd, I daily may to thee perform the same.
