6 Such mercy shall encourage all The godly still [in hope] to pray, And seek to thee in their distress, In an accepted [finding] day. Surely when waters great do swell, And [threatening] floods cause me to fear; Him (that thus seeks and trusts in thee) They shall not [hurt or] once come near.

7 Thou art my help and hiding place, Against all [trouble] fears and wrongs; And thy deliverances shall cause [Mine and] thy peoples thankful songs.
8 Saith God, I'll thee instruct and teach The [righteous] way where thou shalt go; Mine eye shall always on thee be, My [guiding] Counsels I'll thee show.
