¶ The seconde parte.

[verse 11] Thou doest defend the weake from thē that are bothe stout and stronge: And ridde the poore from wicked men that spoyle and doo them wronge. [verse 12] My cruell foes against me ryse, to witnes thinges vntrue: And to acuse me they deuise, of that I neuer knew.

[verse 13] where I to them did owe good will, they quite me with disdayne: That they should pay my good with ill my soule doth sore complayne. [verse 14]

14 When they wer sicke I mornd therfore and clad my selfe in sack. With fasting I did faint full sore, to pray I was not slacke.

[verse 15] As they had ben my brethern dere, I did my selfe behaue: As one that maketh wofull chere, about his mothers graue, But they at my dissease did ioye, and gather on a route: Yea abiect slaues at me did toye, with mockes and checks full stoute.

[verse 17] The belly gods and flattering trayne, that all good thinges deride: At me doe grin with great disdayne, and plucke their mouth a syde. [verse 18] Lord when wilt thou amend this geare why doest thou stay and pause: Oh rid my soule myne only deare, out of these Lyons clawes.

[verse 19] And then will I geue thankes to thee, before thy churche alwayse: And where as most of people be, there will I shew thy prayse. [verse 20] Let not my foes preuayle on me, whiche hate me for no faulte: Nor yet to winke or tourne theyr eye, that causeles me assaulte.
