1. Expend, O Lord,
My plaint of word,
In grief that I do make:
My musing mind,
Recount most kind;
Give ear for Thine own sake.
2. O hark my groan,
My crying moan,
My King, my God Thou art:
Let me not stray
From Thee alway,
To Thee I pray in heart.
3. My voice and vow
Thou wilt allow
Betimes, O Lord so free:
In spring of day,
I will Thee pray,
And shall look up to Thee.}}

4. This I may vow:
The God art Thou,
Which hate all wickedness:
No malice fell
With Thee can dwell,
Thou lov'st no cruelness.
5. Such foolish spite
Can bide no light
Of Thy good lovely face:
Thou dost defy
Their vanity,
Who wickedness embrace.

And them annoy
With lies who blame the Word:
Bloodthirsty men,
Which crafty run,
The Lord hath them abhorred.}}

Thy house into,
In trust of Thy great grace:
In fear I will
Do honor still,
Against that holy place.
8. O Lord, be guide,
Defend my side,
In Thy great righteousness:
Make plain the way,
Lest I go stray,
My foes shall brag the less.
9. Their mouths expess
No faithfulness,
Their hollow hearts be bain;
Wide throat they have
As open grave,
Their tongue but lies do fain.}}

10. Destroy their thought,
O God, for naught,
Their own ways be their shame:
Expel them out
In lies so shout
Who thus blaspheme Thy name.
11. Let them rejoice
That trust Thy voice,
Aye, thanks they shall extend:
Who love Thy name
Shall joy the same,
Thou dost to them defend.
12. Thou Lord wilt then
Give rightwise men
The heav'nly bliss from thence:
Thy favor kind
Is not behind,
As them with shield to fence.}}

1. Expend, O Lord,
My plaint of word,
In grief that I do make:
My musing mind,
Recount most kind;
Give ear for Thine own sake.

2. O hark my groan,
My crying moan,
My King, my God Thou art:
Let me not stray
From Thee alway,
To Thee I pray in heart.

3. My voice and vow
Thou wilt allow
Betimes, O Lord so free:
In spring of day,
I will Thee pray,
And shall look up to Thee.

 

4. This I may vow:
The God art Thou,
Which hate all wickedness:
No malice fell
With Thee can dwell,
Thou lov'st no cruelness.

5. Such foolish spite
Can bide no light
Of Thy good lovely face:
Thou dost defy
Their vanity,
Who wickedness embrace.

6. Thou shalt destroy
And them annoy
With lies who blame the Word:
Bloodthirsty men,
Which crafty run,
The Lord hath them abhorred.

 

7. Just will I go
Thy house into,
In trust of Thy great grace:
In fear I will
Do honor still,
Against that holy place.

8. O Lord, be guide,
Defend my side,
In Thy great righteousness:
Make plain the way,
Lest I go stray,
My foes shall brag the less.

9. Their mouths expess
No faithfulness,
Their hollow hearts be bain;
Wide throat they have
As open grave,
Their tongue but lies do fain.

 

10. Destroy their thought,
O God, for naught,
Their own ways be their shame:
Expel them out
In lies so shout
Who thus blaspheme Thy name.

11. Let them rejoice
That trust Thy voice,
Aye, thanks they shall extend:
Who love Thy name
Shall joy the same,
Thou dost to them defend.

12. Thou Lord wilt then
Give rightwise men
The heav'nly bliss from thence:
Thy favor kind
Is not behind,
As them with shield to fence.
