Tune: Thornbury
('Thy hand, O God, has guided')
*****************
Psalm 140 v.7-8
O God the Lord, my strength you
Of my salvation true
Sure be, and you have guarded
And me through troubles led
Grant not desire of wicked
Schemes where they be misled
Lest they do boast and prosper
Against their plans do stir
Psalm 141 v.8-9
My eyes, O God, look to you
God the Lord, me renew
In you is my trust, leave me
Not destitute, but see
Snares that wicked do set to trap
So I fall in their lap
But save me, free me from their ways
And I shall give you praise
Psalm 143 v.8
Cause me to hear your mercy
And loving kindness see
For in you do I trust, show
Me your way for to know
And lead me wherein I should walk
My daily life and talk
Be guided by you, I may soul
Lift to you, make me whole
Psalm 144 v.2
You my goodness, my fortress
Safe in you I confess
You my high tower, Saviour
Who do defend me sure
My shield, and in you my t rust
Be, though I man, and dust
You rescue me from enemies
And you are Lord, each sees

Nicely penned Orchi. I'm sure I can hear a triangle in the background
Thanks SC.

Good one Orchi.
