1 Lord, I disclaim a haughty mind, And an ambitious [lofty] eye; I do not exercise my self In things for me too [great and] high.
1 LOrd, I disclaim a haughty mind, And an ambitious [lofty] eye; I do not exercise my self In things for me too [great and] high.
2 Thou knowest I have behaved my self In quietness, as [low and] mild; As a child weaned from the breast, [My soul's] even as a weaned child.
2 Thou know'st I have behav'd my self In quietness, as [low and] mild; As a child weaned from the breast, [My soul's] even as a weaned child.
3 Upon the Lord let Israel, With [fullest] trust and hope rely; Not only now, but from henceforth, Even [un-] to [all] Eternity.
