1 BE merciful to me, O God, For mercy I [in thee] do trust; Under thy wings I refuge seek, Till this distress be [over] past.
2 My cry I will cause to ascend Unto the Lord [who is] most high; To God who doth all things for me [Ever] perform most faithfully.
3 He shall send down from Heaven, and me From his [unjust] reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth And [saving] mercy forth shall send.
3 He shall send down from Heav'n, and me From his [unjust] reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth And [saving] mercy sorth shall send.
