7 I thankfully do bless the Lord, [Who was] my Counsellor and Light, Whereby my reins and secret thoughts Instruct me in the [silent] night.
8 I set the Lord before me still, [Because] he is at my right hand In all assaults, in lowest state [I hope] I shall unmoved stand.
9 Therefore my heart in me is glad; Joy's by my [Glorying] tongue expressed, In hope and confidence on God [My pained] my dying flesh shall rest.
9 Therefore my heart in me is glad; Joy's by my [Glorying] tongue exprest, In hope and confidence on God [My pain'd] my dying flesh shall rest.
10 Thou wilt not cast my soul to hell, Nor [shall the] grave my life detain; My Lord Corruption did not see, Nor shall I there [in still] remain.
