Psalm V
by George Herbert

Lord, to my words incline thine ear,
My meditation weigh:
My King, my God, vouchsafe to hear
My cry to thee, I pray.

Thou in the morn shalt hear my mone.
For in the morn will I
Direct my prayers to thy Throne,
And thither lift mine eye.

From deare Juda faire absented,
Tearing the aire with our cryes ;
And our eyes
With their streames his streame augmented.

When, poore Syon's dolefull state,
Desolate ;
Sacked, burned, and inthrall'd,

If I with mischief ever sought

For he is good: for ever his mercy,
Let the redeemed of .lehovah say.
Whom he from foes' hand hath redeem'd away.
And gather them out of the lands did hee,
From east to west, to north, and fro the sea.

They in the wildernes in desert way
Wandred; no dwelling city find did they;
Hungry and thirsty eke : that them within

By Babel's rivers there sate wee,
Yea wept, when wee did mind Sion;
The willowes that amidds it bee
Our harps we hanged them upon :
For songs of us there ask did they
That had us captive led along;
And mirth they that us heaps did lay.
Sing unto us some Sion's song.

Jehovah's song how sing shall wee

For I in thee my trust haue placed ;
Display thy wings for my saluation,
Until my greefs are over-passed.

To thee that canst all want supplie.

From their despights who seek to rend mee,
Let help, O Lord ! from heaven be daigned,
And let thy truth and loue defend me ;

Who hath not walkt astray
In wicked men's aduise,
Nor stood in sinners' way,
Nor in their companies
That scorners are,
As their fit mate,
In scoffing chayre

But in thy lawes diuine,
