Show mercy, Lord, to me, for man
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P56 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shew mercy, Lord, to me, for man
would swallow me outright;
he me oppresseth, while he doth
against me daily fight.
2 All day they would me swallow up
who hate me spitefully;
for they be many that do fight
against me, O Most High.
3 When I’m afraid I’ll trust in thee:
4 in God I’ll praise his word;
I will not fear what flesh can do,
my trust is in the Lord.
5 All day they wrest my words; their thoughts
’gainst me are all for ill.
6 They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps,
waiting; my soul to kill.
7 But shall they by iniquity
escape thy judgments so?
O God, with indignation down
do thou the people throw.
8 Thou tellest all my wanderings,
not one dost overlook;
into thy bottle put my tears:
are they not in thy book?
9 My foes shall, when I cry, turn back;
I know God is for me.
10 In God his word I’ll praise; his word
in God shall praised be.
11 In God I trust; I will not fear
what man can do to me.
12 Thy vows upon me are, O God:
I’ll render praise to thee.
13 Thou, who from death didst save my soul,
my feet from falling free,
to walk before God in the light
of those that living be. Scripture: Psalm 56 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 67 (ST MATTHIAS)
