Mazmur 55
by Dwight Armstrong
1. 'Twas not a foe who did de - ride, for that
I could en - dure;
No hat - er thus who rose in pride, else would I
hide se - cure.
But thou it was my friend and guide; we did as e -
quals meet;
We walked to God's house side by side, and coun-sel
blend - ed sweet.
2. His speech more smooth than but - ter was,
yet in his heart was war,
More soft than oil his words ap - pear; yet sharp as
drawn swords were they.
But Lord Thou will in judg - ment sit and bring them
down to woe;
And in the deep and dark-some pit, in ru - in lay
them low.
3. Death shall them seize, and to the tomb, a
- live they shall go down;
For wick - ed - ness is in their home; a-mong them a
- bound their sins.
but as for me, I'll call on God; the Lord will safe
- ty give:
He'll hear me when I cry a-loud, at morn-ing, noon
and night.
