Psalm 13:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

See the chapter Copy

My soul for thy salvation faints; yet I thy word believe.

How precious is thy grace! Therefore in shadow of thy wings men's sons their trust shall place.

But in all those that do him fear the Lord doth pleasure take; In those that to his mercy do by hope themselves betake.

Restore me thy salvation's joy; with thy free Sp'rit me stay.
