RESH. The xx•• part.

 [verse 153]  My trouble and affliction,
consider ••nd behold:
Deliuer me, for of thy law
I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 take fast hold.
 [verse 154]  Defend my good and righteous cause,
with peede me succour send:
From death as thou hast promised,
Lord keepe me and defend.

 [verse 155]  As for the wicked far they are,
from hauyng health and grace:
Wherby they might thy statutes know,
they enter not the trace.
 [verse 156]  Great are thy mercyes Lord I graunt,
what toung can them attayne?
And as thou hast me iudged ere now,
so let me ly ••e obtaynte.

 [verse 157]  Though many men did trouble me,
and persecute most sore:
Yet from 〈◊〉〈◊〉 lawes I neuer shro••ke,
nor went awry therfore.
 [verse 158]  And truth it is for grief I dye,
when I these traytors see:
Because they keepe no whit thy word,
nor yet seeke to know thee.

 [verse 159]  Behold, for I do loue thy lawes,
with hart both glad and faynes
As thou art good and gra••••ous Lord,
restore my lyfe agayne.
 [verse 160]  What thy word doth decree must be,
and so it hath bene euer:
Thy righteous iudgementes are also
most true, and decay neuer.
