In the Multitude of Thy Mercies Lyrics

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness
And my sins are not hid from Thee

Let not them that wait on thee
O Lord God of hosts,
Be ashamed for my sake

Let not those that seek Thee
Be confounded for my sake
O God of Israel

Because for thy sake
I have borne reproach
Shame hath covered my face

I am become a stranger
Unto my brethren
An an alien
Unto my mother's children

For the zeal of Thine House
Hath eaten me up
And the reproaches of them that reproached thee
Are fallen upon me...

When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting
That was to my reproach...

I made sackcloth also my garment
And I became a proverb to them...

They that sit in the gate
Speak against me
And I was the song
Of drunkards...

But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee O Lord
In an acceptable time, O God
In the multitude of Thy mercy
Hear me
In the truth of Thy salvation

Deliver me...

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness
And my sins are not hid from Thee

Let not them that wait on thee
O Lord God of hosts,
Be ashamed for my sake

Let not those that seek Thee
Be confounded for my sake
O God of Israel

Because for thy sake
