For all my hopes are there.

Nor let the scoffing lips prevail,
Which dare reproach my hope.

The judgments of the Lord."

And thy deliverance send;

My soul for thy salvation faints ;
When will my troubles end?

To bear my Father's rod;

My soul, oppressed with sorrow's weight,
Had sunk amongst the dead.

To draw me near the Lord.

They watch my feet with envious eyes,
And tempt my soul to snares and sin;
