6 When in the stony street Their Judges are cast down, they'll hear, My words will then be sweet.
7 Our bones at the grave's mouth Are cast and scattered round; As wood which men do cut and cleave, Lies scattered on the ground.
7 Our bones at the grave's mouth Are cast and scatter'd round; As wood which men do cut and cleave, Lies scattered on the ground.
8 But, Lord my God, mine eyes Still look up unto thee; In thee is all my trust; Let not My soul forsaken be.
9 Keep thou me from the snare Which they have laid for me; And the entrapping grins of men, That wicked workers be.
