And Tried Me Time And Again (Psalm 17)

[Female Vocalist] [Catchy power disco party metal]

[Dueling Solos]

[Verse]
Hear the right, O Lord, the words I say,
Unto my cry, I beg, attend & hear,
Give ear, give ear to the words I pray,
Which go to thee from lips sincere.

[Dueling Solos]

[Interlude]
Let whatever be my sentence,
come forth from thy holy presence;
Let thine eyes then behold,
the things that are equal.

[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, like as a lion,
that is greedy for its prey,
as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.

[Chorus]
For thou hast proved mine heart;
Thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, time and again,
And thou shalt find nothing amiss!

I am purposed! that my mouth… shall not transgress!

[Verse]
Concerning the works of men,
By the word of thy lips divine,
I have kept myself from the paths again,
Of the fearful destroyer maligned.

[Subdued Refrain]

Hold up my goings in thy paths, I pray,
That my feet slip not off and away.

[Verse]
I have called upon thee,
for thou, O God, wilt hear me:
incline thine ear unto me,
and hear my speech.

[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, like as a lion,
that is greedy for its prey,
as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.

[Chorus]
For thou hast proved mine heart;
Thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, time and again,
And thou shalt find nothing amiss!

I am purposed! that my mouth… shall not transgress!

[Verse]
Show us, thy marvellous lovingkindness,
O thou whose right hand surely saves!
Them which put in thee their entire trust,
The wicked now rise against the faithful in fearful waves!

[Solo]

[Verse]
Keep me as the apple of the eye,
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
From the wicked that oppress me and mine,
who compass me about… my deadly enemies!

[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, like as a lion,
that is greedy for its prey,
as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.

[Chorus]
For thou hast proved mine heart;
Thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, time and again,
And thou shalt find nothing amiss!

I am purposed! that my mouth… shall not transgress!

[Solo]

[Verse]
In their own fat they are inclosed,
with their own mouths do they speak proud words.
They compass us in the steps we proposed:
they set their eyes down towards the earth.

[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, like as a lion,
that is greedy for its prey,
as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.

[Bridge]
Arise, & disappoint him, O Lord!
(Cast him down)
(& deliver my soul)
From the wicked, which is thy sword:
(From the men of the world,)
(From the men of thy hand,)
So arise! And disappoint him, O Lord!

[Interlude]
which have in this life their portion,
and whose belly thou fillest with thy hidden fortune:
They are full of children, and yet they leave
The rest of their substance, to their bay-bies.

[Subdued Refrain]
And me, I’ll behold thy face, in righteousness:
when I wake at last, I’ll be satisfied with thy likeness.

[Pre-chorus]
Yeah, like as a lion,
that is greedy for its prey,
as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.

[Chorus]
For thou hast proved mine heart;
Thou hast visited me in the night;
Thou hast tried me, time and again,
And thou shalt find nothing amiss!

I am purposed! that my mouth… shall not transgress!

[Solo]

[Verse]
Arise, & disappoint him, O Lord!
Cast him down & deliver my soul,
From the wicked, which is thy sword:
From the men of thy hand of the world.

These man have their portion in this life then,
And thou doest fill their belly with hidden treasure:
they are full with a legacy of children,
and to their babes do they leave their substance measured.

[Interlude]
But as for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness:
And I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
