Th' earth, as affrighted, then did shake, trembling upon it seiz'd: The hills' foundations moved were, because he was displeas'd.
Therefore, although the earth remove, we will not be afraid: Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
The face of God is set against those that do wickedly, That he may quite out from the earth cut off their memory.
The Lord is ever nigh to them that be of broken sp'rit; To them he safety doth afford that are in heart contrite.
O spare thou me, that I my strength recover may again, Before from hence I do depart, and here no more remain.
He took me from a fearful pit, and from the miry clay, And on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way.
