5 But then I cried to the Lord, That he my [humble] suit would hear. I said, Lord, thou my refuge art, The portion of my [hope and] choice; While I am in the land of life, Where living men in thee rejoice.
5 But then I cryed to the Lord, That he my [humble] suit would hear. I said, Lord, thou my refuge art, The portion of my [hope and] choice; While I am in the land of life, Where living men in thee rejoyce.
