5 Our God is merciful and just, Yea [very] gracious is the Lord;
6 He saves the meek: I was brought low, And he did [speedy] help afford.
7 My soul, distrust thy God no more, Return [by faith] to him thy Rest; Who largely in thy great distress [To thee] his bounty hath expressed.
7 My soul, distrust thy God no more, Return [by faith] to him thy Rest; Who largely in thy great distress [To thee] his bounty hath exprest.
8 For my afflicted soul from death [Safely] delivered was by thee; Thou didst mine eyes from mourning tears, My feet from [dangerous] falling free.
