Psalm XXV. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Cantus. Southwel Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉I Lift my heart to thee, my God and guide most just:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Now suffer me to take no shame, for in thee do I trust:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Let not my foes rejoyce, nor make a scorn of me:
〈♫〉〈♫〉And let them not be overthrown, that put their trust in thee.
〈♫〉〈♫〉But shame shall them befall which harm them wrongfully:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Therefore thy paths and thy right ways unto me, Lord, descry.
〈♫〉〈♫〉Direct me in thy truth, and teach me I thee pray:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Thou art my God and Saviour, on thee I wait alway.
〈♫〉〈♫〉Thy mercies manifold remember, Lord, I pray:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Also thy pity plentiful, for they have been alway.
〈♫〉〈♫〉Remember not the faults and frailties of my youth:
〈♫〉〈♫〉Remember not how ignorant I have been of thy truth.
