I have called upon thee, O God by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
Oratio David. Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam.
Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis.
De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant aequitates.
Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti,
et non est inventa in me iniquitas.
Ut non loquatur os meum
opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum,
ego custodivi vias duras.
Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi,
et exaudi verba mea.
Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te.
