Tune: St Magnus

('The head that once was crowned with thorns')

Psalm 5 parts

*******

Give ear unto my words, O LORD

So then I be assured

That you my meditation know

And hear my prayers below

 

In the morning I will direct

Prayers to you, and expect

That you will hear, and I will look

To you, not now forsook

 

I will come into your house for

You show much mercy sure

In godly fear in your temple

My worship give you all

 

Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness

Enemies I confess

Do trouble me, your path make straight

For me, so blessed my state

 

Let all they who do trust in you

Ever rejoice anew

With favour you will them surround

Their hope in you is found
