PSAL. xxv.

[verse 1] I, Lord, to thee my Heart dispose; [verse 2] My God, I trust in thee! O save me from insulting Foes, And Shame, and Infamy! [verse 3] Let wilful Sinners sink with Shame, But keep thy Servants free: [verse 4] And let thy Faith my Heart inflame, Reveal thy Paths to me!

[verse 5] O let thy Truth direct my Ways, To me Salvation give; To me, dear Lord, who all my Days In scred Longings live! [verse 6] Thy never-ending Mercies, Lord, Thy Bowels, Lord, re-call! [verse 7] My youthful Crimes, my Sins abhorr'd, Forgive, forget them all!

O, for thy tender Mercy's sake, With Favour think on me! [verse 8] The blindest Sinners God will make His righteous Paths to see. [verse 9] He makes the Meek with Prudence move; The Humble kindly draws:

[verse 10] His Ways all Truths and Mercies prove To those who keep his Laws.

Part 2.

[verse 11] For thy Name sake, a Sinner spare, With weighty Guilt oppress'd: [verse 12] To him who fears thee, Lord, declare, Thy Paths with Safety bles'd! [verse 13] His Hand on happy Ground shall build, His Race the Land shall hold: [verse 13] T'his Soul, with holy Secrets fill'd, Will God his Grace uhfold.

[verse 15] To Thee I look, dear Lord, my Feet From subtile Snares retrieve: [verse 16] My Sorrows, Lord, with Mercy meet; With Love my Woes relieve. [verse 17] Increasing Woes distress my Soul; O kindly rescue it! [verse 18] My Sorrows and my Pains controul, And all my Sins remit!

[verse 19] Help from my num'rous Foes I crave, Who hate me wrongfullie. [verse 20] My Soul from all Confusion save, Because I trust: in Thee. [verse 21] Truth, Justice, I'll as Guards esteem, And on thy Favours wait: [verse 22] But, Lord, thy holy Church redeem From its afflicted State!
