1. O Lord, bow down thine ear, And hearken to my cry;
2. Rejoice thy servant's soul, For I to thee, O Lord,
For poor and wholly destitute Of other help am I.
Lift up my troubled soul, in hope That thou wilt help afford.

3. In days of my distress
I will to thee complain;
Because I surely know that thou
Wilt answer me again.

4. The nations all, O Lord,
Whom thy great power did frame,
Shall come before and bow to thee,
And glorify thy name.

5. For thou art high and great;
The things that thou hast done
Are truly marvelous, and show
That thou art God alone.

6. Teach me thy way of truth,
And I will walk the same;
And, Lord, to thee unite my heart,
That I may fear thy name.
