                     But As for Me. I'll Call On God
                               Psalm 55


1.   'Twas not a foe who did deride, for that I could endure; No hater thus who
     rose in pride, else would I hide secure. But thou it was my friend and guide;
     we did as equals meet; We walked to God's house side by side, and counsel
     blended sweet.

2.   His speech more smooth than butter was, yet in his heart was war; More
     soft than oil his words appear, yet sharp as drawn swords were they. But
     Lord Thou will in judgment sit and bring them down to woe; And in the
     deep and darksome pit, in ruin lay them low.

3.   Death shall them seize, and to the tomb, alive they shall go down; For
     wickedness is in their home; among them abound their sins. But as for me,
     I'll call on God; the Lord will safety give: He'll hear me when I cry aloud,
     at morning, noon and night.
