    Song 38

    Throw Your Burden on Jehovah

    (Psalm 55)

    1. Please give ear, O Lord, Jehovah,

    Let yourself be found by me.

    Hear my prayer, and may you answer;

    Help me unafraid to be.

    (CHORUS)

    Throw your burden on Jehovah;

    He himself will you sustain.

    He will never let you totter

    But will help you firm remain.

    2. Had I wings just as a dove has,

    Far from danger I would fly,

    Safe from those who seek to hurt me,

    Sheltered from their hateful cry.

    (CHORUS)

    Throw your burden on Jehovah;

    He himself will you sustain.

    He will never let you totter

    But will help you firm remain.

    3. I will call upon Jehovah,

    His protection I will seek.

    He gives peace midst opposition;

    Strength he gives to all the meek.

    (CHORUS)

    Throw your burden on Jehovah;

    He himself will you sustain.

    He will never let you totter

    But will help you firm remain.

    (See also Ps. 22:5; 31:1-24.)
