Tune: Blaenwern

(\'All Saints Of Wales\')

Psalm 31 parts

*********

In you, O LORD, I put my trust

I who am mere human, dust

Let me never be ashamed here

May your righteousness appear

Bow down your ear, help me quickly

Save me and my troubles see

Be my strong rock, my refuge sure

A house, fortress, safe e\'ermore

 

For you name\'s sake lead me, guide me

Save me from the trap that be

Set for me by my enemies

You are my strength, they shall flee

In to your hand, LORD, I commit

My spirit, for you, each whit

Have redeemed me, come to my aid

LORD God true, in you I staid

 

I have hated those that regard

Lying vanities, and hard

Be their way, their lifeless idols

No tales of their help are told

But I trust in the LORD, and I

Will rejoice in you here nigh

I will be glad in your mercy

You have come to my help free

 

My times are in your hand, LORD, so

Comfort, assurance I know

Deliver me from enemies

So that they LORD each you sees

Save me from my persecutors

And strengthen my supporters

Make your face to upon me shine

Lightened with your light divine

 

O how great it be, your goodness

Which you have, and do us bless

It be laid up for those who fear

You, and who to you draw near

You have wrought it for those who do

Trust and true confide in you

Shown before all people that they

Great is the LORD then may say

 

O love the LORD, all you His saints

He the LORD who never faints

He preserves the faithful, and He

Fully repays the proud, see

Be of good courage, and he shall

Strengthen your heart, you fare well

All you that hope in the LORD, for

He shall help you evermore
