Unto thy cov'nant have respect; for earth's dark places be Full of the habitations of horrid cruelty.
And he for them his covenant did call to memory; After his mercies' multitude
His cov'nant he remember'd hath, that it may ever stand: To thousand generations the word he did command.
My love I'll ever keep for him, my cov'nant fast shall stand.
Thou hast thy servant's covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie.
Because of those mine enemies, Lord, in thy righteousness Do thou me lead; do thou thy way make straight before my face.
