1. Lord, keep me; for I trust in thee.
2. To God thus was my speech,Thou art my Lord; and unto theemy goodness doth not reach:
3. To saints on earth, to th' excellent,where my delight's all plac'd.
4. Their sorrows shall be multiply'dto other gods that haste:Of their drink-offerings of bloodI will no off 'ring make;Yea, neither I their very namesup in my lips will take.
5. God is of mine inheritanceand cup the portion;The lot that fallen is to methou dost maintain alone.
