Levavi oculos. Psal. cxxi.

W. W.

I Lift mine eyes to Sion hill,
From whence I do attend
That succour God me send
 [verse 2]  The mighty God me succour will,
Which heaven and earth framed,
And all things therein named.

 [verse 3]  Thy foot from slip he will preserve,
And will thee safely keep,
For he will never sleep.
 [verse 4]  Lo he that doth Israel conserve
No sleep at all can him catch,
But his eyes shall ever watch.

 [verse 5]  The Lord is thy warrant alway,
The Lord eke doth thee cover
As at thy right hand ever:
 [verse 6]  The sun shall not thee parch by day,
Nor the moon not half so bright
Shall with cold hurt thee by night.

 [verse 7]  The Lord will keep thee from distress,
And will thy life sure save:
 [verse 8]  And thou shalt also have
In all thy business good success.
Where-ever thou goest in or out,
God will thy things bring about.
