Verses 1-5, 8, A Morning Psalm


 * 1. O Lord how many are my foes,
 * In this weak state of flesh and blood!
 * My peace they daily discompose,
 * But my defense and hope is God.


 * 2. Tired with the burdens of the day,
 * To thee I raised an evening cry:
 * Thou heard when I began to pray,
 * And thine almighty help was nigh.


 * 3. Supported by thine heavnly aid,
 * I laid me down and slept secure:
 * Not death should make my heart afraid,
 * Though I should wake and rise no more.


 * 4. But God sustained me all the night:
 * Salvation does to God belong;
 * He raised my head to see the light,
 * And make His praise my morning song.
