Psalm 79:8

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Against us mind not former sins; thy tender mercies show; Let them prevent us speedily, for we're brought very low.

See the chapter Copy

Because I am brought very low, attend unto my cry: Me from my persecutors save, who stronger are than I.

God saves the meek: I was brought low, he did me help afford.

For thou with blessings him prevent'st of goodness manifold; And thou hast set upon his head a crown of purest gold.

Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord, should'st mark iniquity?

He many times deliver'd them; but with their counsel so They him provok'd, that for their sin they were brought very low.

My sins and faults of youth do thou, O Lord, forget: After thy mercy think on me, and for thy goodness great.
