The trust that in thy truth I finde, to all the churche I shewe. [verse 14] For I with mischefes many one, am sore beset aboute: My sinnes encrease and so com on, I can not spy them out.
[verse 15] For why in number they excede, the heares vpon my head: My hart doth faynt for very drede, that I almost am deade. [verse 16] With speed send help and set me free, O Lorde I thee require: Make hast with ayde to succour me, O Lorde at my desire.
[verse 17] Let them sustayne rebuke and shame, that seeke my soule to spille: Driue back my foes and them defame, that wish and would me ill. [verse 18] For their ill feates doo them discrie, that wolde deface my name: Alwayse at me they rayle and cry, fie on him, fie for shame.
[verse 19] Let them in thee haue ioye and welth that seeke to thee alwayse: That those that loue thy sauing health may say, to God be prayse. [verse 20] But as for me I am but poore, opprest and brought full lowe: Yet thou O Lorde wilt me restore, to health full well I know.
