O God, be mer­ci­ful to me,
For men no mer­cy show;
With con­stant war­fare press­ing me
They seek my ov­er­throw.

When foes in­vade, I safe­ly rest
Confiding in Thy Word;
I will not dread what man can do
My trust is in the Lord.

I take Thy vows up­on me now,
O God, who sav­est me;
The sac­ri­fice of praise I bring
In gra­ti­tude to Thee.

My feet from fall­ing and my soul
From death thou hast re­stored,
And ev­er in the light of life
I walk be­fore the Lord.
