Psalms 31:4-10 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

4. And sith thou art my strength, thereforepull me out of the net,Which they in subtilty for meso privily have set.

5. Into thine hands I do commitmy sp'rit: for thou art he,O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,that hast redeemed me.

6. Those that do lying vanitiesregard, I have abhorr'd:But as for me, my confidenceis fixed on the Lord.

7. I'll in thy mercy gladly joy:for thou my miseriesConsider'd hast; thou hast my soulknown in adversities:

8. And thou hast not inclosed mewithin the en'my's hand;And by thee have my feet been madein a large room to stand.

9. O Lord, upon me mercy have,for trouble is on me:Mine eye, my belly, and my soul,with grief consumed be.

10. Because my life with grief is spent,my years with sighs and groans:My strength doth fail; and for my sinconsumed are my bones.
