X. O regulate my Tongue, and make me see, How few my days are, and how short their length, Let all my Trust be still reposed in thee; Relax thy scourge, or add unto my strength: ⟨p. 119⟩Be thou my way, my strength, my light that I May learn to live, and in thy favour die.

XI. When hungry, let thy Manna be my meat; When circled in the dark, enlighten me; When I am weary, O! be thou my Seat; And when imprisoned, do thou set me free: So filled, enlightened, after sweet repose, Enlarged from Bonds, I will thy praise disclose.
XI. When hungry, let thy Manna be my meat; When circled in the dark, enlighten me; When I am weary, O! be thou my Seat; And when imprison'd, do thou set me free: So fill'd, enlightned, after sweet repose, Enlarg'd from Bonds, I will thy praise disclose.
XII. In time of wrath, when fury waxes great, Be thou my Bulwark and securest Tower; To thy transcending Name let me retreat, And be defended by thy mighty Power. Secure me till thy Vengeance is past over, That I thy Praises may to all discover.
