I, while I live, will call on him, who bow'd to me his ear.
I waited for the Lord my God, and patiently did bear; At length to me he did incline my voice and cry to hear.
Bow down thine ear to me, with speed send me deliverance: To save me, my strong rock be thou, and my house of defence.
Lord God, my Saviour, day and night before thee cry'd have I.
For ever blessed be the Lord, for graciously he heard The voice of my petitions, and prayers did regard.
Because thou art my rock, and thee I for my fortress take; Therefore do thou me lead and guide, ev'n for thine own name's sake.
