Psalm 11 v.4-5

The LORD in His holy temple

Look to Him and on Him call

The LORD'S throne it in heaven is

His eyes see the world, all this

He tries and tests out the righteous

But wicked He does despise

Shall help, aid those, who in Him trust

Though we are but made of dust

 

Psalm 12 v.6

The words of the LORD, they pure words

We have known them, have them heard

As silver tried in a furnace

Purified by Him no less

Seven times unto perfection

They are tried, and true, each one

Our guide they be through all life's days

And too your presence always

 

Psalm 13 v.5-6

I in your mercy have rusted

Your good way you have me led

My heart shall in you salvation

Rejoice, tell to each nation

I unto the LORD will sing sure

he does keep me evermore

Bountifully has  dealt with me here

I in Him do blessings share

 

Psalm 16 v.8

I have set the LORD before me

I shall focus on Him, see

he there always shall b with me

And from sins, burdens set free

Because He is at my right hand

E'en when travelling each land

I shall not be moved, but abide

By grace He with me resides

 

Psalm 17 v.5-6

Hold up my goings in your paths

Saved I am from doom and wrath

So my footsteps, the shall not slip

I serve you in deed and lip

I upon you have called, you will

Hear me, answer my prayer still

O God incline your ear to me

My speech hear, and gracious be
