Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I unto thee do cry, do thou make haste to me, and give an ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 As incense let my prayer be directed in thine eyes; and the uplifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth, keep of my lips the door. 4 My heart incline thou not unto the ills I should abhor, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity; and with their dainties let me not and them partaker be. 5 Let him that righteous is me smite, it shall a kindness be; let him reprove, I shall it count a precious oil to me, such oil my head shall not refuse, for yet shall come the day when I, in their calamities to God pray for them shall pray. 6 When down the sides of rugged rocks their judges shall be cast, then shall they hear my words; for they shall sweet be to their taste. 7 About the grave’s devouring mouth our bones are scattered round, as wood which men do cut and cleave lies scattered on the ground. 8 But unto thee, O God the Lord, mine eyes uplifted be: my soul do not leave destitute; my trust is set on thee. 9 Lord, keep me safely from the snares which they for me prepare; and from the subtle gins of them that evil-doers are. 10 Let workers of iniquity into their own nets fall, Whilst I do, by thine help, escape the danger of them all.
