Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Psalm 17 v.5-7
***********
Hold up my goings in your ways
My steps through all my days
So that my footsteps do not slip
In troubled spots not dip
I have called on you, for you will
Hear me, attend me still
O God, incline your ear to me
Hear my speech, and me see
Show unto us your marvellous
Kindness, come to us, bless
O you that save by your right hand
[They] Who trust you in the land
Save them here from those that do rise
Up against them, hear cries
Of they which all unto you, pray
Bring them salvation's day

.. so might I respectfully suggest you just mime ...
