〈♫〉〈♫〉 REgarde (O Lorde) for I complayne,

〈♫〉〈♫〉 and make my sute to thee, let not my wordes re¦turne 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in vayne, but geue an eare to me, from of 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the costes and vtmost partes of all the earth a∣brode, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in griefe and anguish of my harte I cry 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to thee, O God.

[verse 3] Upon the rocke of thy greate power, my woefull mynde repose: Thou arte my hope my forte and tower, my fence against my foes. [verse 4] within thy tent I lust to dwell, foreuer to endure: vnder thy winges I know right well, I shalbe safe and sure:

[verse 5] The Lorde dueth my desire regarde,

and doth fulfill the same: with goodly giftes will he rewarde, all them that feare his name. [verse 6] The king shall he inhealth maintayne, and so prolong his dayes: That he from age to age shall raygne, for euer more alwayse.

[verse 7] That he may haue a dwelling place, before the Lorde for aye: O let thy mercy truth and grace, defend him from decaye. [verse 8] Then shall I singe for euer still, with prayse vnto thy name: That all my voues I may fulfill, and dayly pay the same.
