Psalm 88:2

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Before thee let my prayer come; give ear unto my cry.

See the chapter Copy

Bow down thine ear to me, with speed send me deliverance: To save me, my strong rock be thou, and my house of defence.

O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend before thy sight on high; Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r that are design'd to die.

But thou art holy, thou that dost inhabit Isr'el's praise.

Sith unto thee I daily cry, be merciful to me.

I of the morning did prevent the dawning, and did cry: For all mine expectation did on thy word rely.
