11 Thy tender saving mercies, Lord, With hold not, nor [to me] deny; Let thy benignity and truth Keep me [from ill] continually.
12 For I am compassed about With evils [great and] manifold; I am not able to look up, My sins [on me] do take such hold. More than hairs on my head they are, Therefore my [failing] heart's dismayed; Be pleased, Lord, to deliver me, [O Lord] make hast to be my aid.

14 Shame and confusion be to all That seek my [guiltless] blood to spill; Let them be driven back, and shamed, Who wish [in heart] my wrongful ill.
