Judge me, O Lord, who only can

Verse 1

Judge me, O Lord, who only can My cause from cruel men, defend; From the deceitful, unjust man O do thou me deliverance send.

Verse 2

On thee, O God, my strength relies; Why dost thou cast me far away? Oppressed by cruel enemies, Why go I mourning, all the day?

Verse 3

O, let thy light, and truth, appear; Conduct my steps, and be my guide, Unto thy holy hill, and where Thou, in thy glory, dost reside.

Verse 4

Then to thine altars I'll repair, To God, my most exceeding joy; To thee, O God, my God, I'll there, In songs of praise, my harp employ.

Verse 5

Why so cast down, my soul, and why? So restless, in thy frail abode? Trust God; for praise him yet shall I, Who's my deliverer, and my God.
