1 Leave me not nor forsake, O God;
Thou Savior art to me;
Though both my parents cast me off
I'm taken up by THEE.
2 O LORD, instruct me in Thy way;
Do Thou my leader be;
Make plain my path because of those
That hatred bear to me.
3 Nor give me to my foes desire;
For witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
As breathe out cruelty.
4 I should have fainted haed I not
Believed that I would see
Jehovah's goodness in the land
Of them that living be.
5 O do thou wait upon the LORD;
yea, let thy strength be great,
And let thy heart encouraged be;
Upon Jehovah wait.
