Text:Psalm XI

178. Psalm XI

1 My trust is in the Lord;
How to my soul say ye,
Away with speed, and like a bird
To your high mountain flee?

2 Lo, sinners bend the bow;
On string they fit the dart,
That they unseen may shoot at those
Who upright are in heart.

3 What can the righteous do?
What can for them avail,
If the foundations be destroyed
And all they built on fail?

4 The Lord in Zion dwells,
The Lord's throne is on high:
His eyes behold the sons of men;
Yea, them his eyelids try.
