English text Isaac Watts, 1719 2. "From vile idolatry Preserve my worship clean; I am the Lord, who set thee free From slavery and sin. 5. "Yet, O! that all my saints Would hearken to my voice! Soon I would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice. 6. "While I destroy their foes, I'd richly feed my flock; And they should taste the stream that flows From their eternal rock."

Modifications for these editions 2. From vile idolatry Preserve his worship clean; He is the Lord, who sets us free From slavery and sin. 3. Yet, O! that all his saints Would hearken to his voice! Soon he would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice. 4. While he destroys our foes, He'll richly feed his flock; And we will taste the stream that flows From our eternal rock.
