Chapter 12

A prayer in tribulation.

1. 1

2. 2

3. 4

   Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:

4. 5

   Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

5. 6

   But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation:
