1 ETERNAL God, hear Thou my Prayer, ‖ hearken to my Requests: ‖ Answer me in Thy faithfulness, ‖ and in thy righteousness. ‖
2 And with thy Servant, O do not ‖ thou into Judgment come; ‖ For in thy sight no man alive ‖ shall justify himself. ‖
3 For the' Enemy has pursued my Soul; ‖ my Life struck to the ground; ‖ made me in darkness dwell as those ‖ that have been dead an Age. ‖
