Tune: Abridge
('Be thou my guardian and my guide')
**********
Psalm 5 v.8
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness
And guide me here, and bless
Lest I fall unto enemies
Make straight the way my eyes see
Psalm 5 v.12
For you, LORD, the righteous will bless
Your goodness they confess
With favour you will them surround
Praises to you redound
Psalm 6 v.4
Return O LORD, deliver me
My soul help, it set free
O save me for your mercies sake
Then comfort I shall take
Psalm 6 v.9
The LORD my supplication heard
He listened, every word
The LORD He will receive my prayer
And help me with His care
Psalm 7 v.1
O LORD my God in you I trust
I mere human and dust
Save me from those that persecute
Deliver me, them refute
Psalm 8 v.4-5
What is man, that you him visit
And have his pathway lit?
Made little lower than angels
Trusting you LORD, none falls
