1 The Prayer which to thee I make, O God [do thou] vouchsafe to hear; My life save thou from enemies, And from [all their] perplexing fear.
1 THe Prayer which to thee I make, O God [do thou] vouchsafe to hear; My life save thou from enemies, And from [all their] perplexing fear.
2 Hide me from their secret designs, Who do live [and plot] wickedly; From insurrection of those men That [still do] work iniquity.
3 Who do their tongues with malice whet, That they may cut like [sharpened] swords; In whose bent bows are arrows set, [To shoot] even false and bitter words.
