Jehovah, to my Prayer Give Ear (EN 1049)

EN 1049 Jehovah, to my Prayer Give Ear

Ps.55.1

Versi Version 1

1

Jehovah, to my prayer give ear,

Nor hide Thee from my cry;

Attend my sad complaint, and hear

My restless moan and sigh.

My enemies lift up their voice,

The violent oppress;

To do me wrong my foes rejoice,

And love my soul’s distress.

2

Sore pained in heart I find no ease,

Death’s terrors fill my soul,

Great fear and trembling on me seize,

And horrors o’er me roll.

O had I wings, I sigh and say,

Like some swift dove to roam,

Then I would hasten far away

And a find a peaceful home.

3

Lo, wandering far, my rest would be

In some lone desert waste;

I from the stormy wind would flee,

And to a shelter haste.

O Lord, their malice recompense

Their wicked tongues confound,

For in the city violence

And bitter strife abound.

4

They walk her walls both night and day,

Within all vices meet;

Oppression, fraud and crime hold sway,

Nor leave the crowded street.

No foreign foe provokes alarm,

But enemies within;

May God destroy their power to harm

And recompense their sin.
