Lord, how long wilt Thou be angry,
wilt Thou be angry, Lord.
How long wilt Thou be angry?
Shall thy jealousy burn like a fire forever?
O, remember not, o, remember not our old sins,
but have mercy upon us and that soon.
For we are come to great misery.
For we are come to great misery.


Help us, O God, help us,
O God of our salvation,
for the glory of Thy name.
O deliver us, o deliver us,
o deliver us, o deliver us,
and be merciful unto our sins,
for thy name's sake.
And be merciful unto our sins,
be merciful unto our sins,
for thy Name's sake.


So we that are Thy people,
and the sheep of Thy pasture
shall give Thee thanks for ever.
And will alway be shewing forth Thy praise,
be shewing forth Thy praise,
And will alway be shewing forth Thy praise,
from one generation to another,
from one generation to another.
