Listen O Lord unto my prostrate prayer, Nor into judgement with thy servant enter: For who is just? The foul infernal tempter Pursues my soul with terrors of despair. My heart's all inly vexed, yet I applied me To weigh thy works, thy wonders I observed, But to thy mercy the chief place reserved; Then shew my sin, and in thy service guide me. Succour me Lord, save me with expedition; My spirit fainteth: therefore mine affection, My mind, my soul, I lift (with all submission) To thee my Lord, my God, and my protection: Draw me from danger, under thy tuition, For I thy servant am by thine election.
