Fits tune: Thornbury
('Thy hand, O God, has guided')
Psalm 56
********
To me, God, be merciful
To you I on you call
For man would seek to swallow
Me up, and bring me low
He fights against me daily
Look on me, and me see
My oppressors, my many foes
All of them the Lord knows
What time I am here afraid
I will trust in you, staid
In God I will His word praise
He will help me, me raise
I will not fear what man can do
To me, for I trust you
Though each day my words they wrest
Yet I in you am blest
Their thoughts to me are evil
They wish me wrong, ill-will
Gather themselves together
I at end of tether
Be so, humanly speaking
But you my needs I bring
They shall not escape by their sin
For they shall fall therein
You know my wanderings here
You see my every tear
When I unto you do call
My enemies, they all
Shall turn back, for this I know
God is for me, will show
His help, His power, meet my needs
I His sheep, He me feeds
For my soul you have tended
Your mercies did you send
To deliver me from death
You renewed me, gave breath
That I not fall, be overcome
For you victory have won
Have saved me, I again walk
In your light, of you talk
