〈♫〉〈♫〉 on my part, against all those, that seke with 〈♫〉〈♫〉 me to fight. Lay hand vpon thy speare & shild, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thy selfe in armour dres: stād vp for me & fight 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the feld, to help me from distres.
[verse 3]
Gird on thy sworde, and stoppe the waye, my enemies to withstande:
That thow vnto, my soule doo saye, lo I thy helpe at hande.
[verse 4]
Confounde them with rebuke and blame, that seke my soule to spill:
Let them turne backe and flie with shame, that thinke to worke me ill.
[verse 5]
Let them disperse, and flie abrode, as winde doth driue the duste:
And that the aungell of our God, their might away may thrust.
[verse 6]
Let all theyr wayes, be voide of light, and slipprie lyke to fall:

And send thine aungell with thy might to persecute them all.
[verse 7]
For why without my faulte they haue, in secret set their grinne:
And for no cause haue digd a caue: to take my soule therin.
[verse 8]
when they think least and haue no care O Lorde destroy them all.
Let them be trapt in their owne snare, and in theyr mischief fall.
[verse 9]
And let my soule my harte and voyce, in God haue ioye and welthe:
That in the Lorde I may reioyce, and in his sauing health.
[verse 10]
And then my bones shall speake & saye my partes shall all agree:
O lorde though they doo seme full gaie, what man is lyke to thee.
