My soul was overwhelmed with woes,
My heart began to break;
My God, who all my burden knows,
He knows the way I take.

Psalm 142 Poetry

My soul was overwhelmed with woes,
My heart began to break;
My God, who all my burden knows,
He knows the way I take.
Men void of wisdom and of grace,
If honor raise them high,
Live like the beast, a thoughtless race,
And like the beast they die
Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.
