O God, Be Merciful to Me (2)

O God

be mer­ci­ful to me

For men no mer­cy show;

With con­stant war­fare press­ing me

They seek my ov­er­throw.

When foes in­vade

I safe­ly rest

Confiding in Thy Word;

I will not dread what man can do

My trust is in the Lord.

I take Thy vows up­on me now

O God

who sav­est me;

The sac­ri­fice of praise I bring

In gra­ti­tude to Thee.

My feet from fall­ing and my soul

From death thou hast re­stored

And ev­er in the light of life

I walk be­fore the Lord.
