henry purcell - be merciful unto me lyrics
be merciful unto me, o god, for man goeth about to devour me: he is daily fighting, and troubling me
mine enemies are daily in hand to swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, o thou most highest
nevertheless, though i am sometime afraid: yet put i my trust in thee
i will praise god, because of his word: i have put my trust in god, and will not fear what flesh can do unto me
they daily mistake my words: all that they imagine is to do me evil
they hold all together, and keep themselves close: and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul
shall they escape for their wickedness: thou, o god, in thy displeasure shalt cast them down
in god’s word i will rejoice: in the lord’s word will i comfort me
yea, in god have i put my trust: i will not be afraid what man can do unto me
