Lord call the people to thy thought, vvhich haue beene thine so long: The vvhich thou hast redeemd & brought from bondage sore and strong.
3
Haue minde I say, and thinke vpon, remember it full vvell: Thy pleasant place, thy mount Sion, vvhere thou vvast vvont to dvvell.
4
Lift vp thy foote and come in haste, and all thy foes deface: VVhich novv at pleasure rob and vvaste, vvithin thy holy place.
5
Amid the congregations all thine enemies roare O God: They set as signes on euery vvall, their banners splaid abroad.
6
As men vvith axes hevv the trees, that on the hils doe grovv: so shine the bils and svvords of these vvithin thy Temple novv.
7
The seeling savvde, the carued bords, the goodly grauen stones, VVith axes, hammers, bils and svvords, they beate them dovvne at once.
8
Thy places they consume vvith flame, and eke in all this toile, The house appointed for thy name, they raze dovvne to the soyle.
9
And thus they say vvithin their heart, dispatch them out of hand: Then burne they vp in euery place, Gods houses through the land.
10
Yea, thou no signe of help dost send. our Prophets all are gone: To tell vvhen this our plague shall end, among vs there is none.
11
VVhen vvilt thou Lord once end this shame and cease thine enemies strong Shall they alvvay blaspheme thy name, and raile on thee so long?
12
VVhy dost vvith-dravv thy hand aback, and hide it in thy lap? O plucke it out and be not slacke to giue thy foes a rap.
The second part.
13
O God that art my King and Lord, and euermore hast beene: Yea, thy good grace throughout the vvorld for our good help hath seene.
14
The seas that are so deepe and dead, thy might did make them dry: And thou didst breake the Serpents head, and he therein did dye.
15
Yea, thou didst breake the heads so great, of VVhales that are so fell: And gaust them to the folke to eate, that in the desart dvvell.
16
hou mad'st a spring of streames to rise from rocks both hard and hye: And eke thy hand hath made likevvise deepe riuers to be dry.
17
Both day and eke the night are thine, by thee they vvere begun: Thou setst to serue vs vvith their shine, the light and eke the Sunne.
18
Thou dost appoint the ends & coasts of all the vvorld about: Both Summer heats, and VVinters frosts, thy hand hath found them out.
19
Thinke on O Lord, no time forget thy foes that thee defame: And hovv the foolish folke are set to raile vpon thy name.
20
O let no cruell beasts deuoure thy Turtle that is true: Forget not alvvaies in thy povver, the poore that much doe rue.
21
Regard thy couenant, and behold thy foes possesse the land: All sad and drke, forvvorne and old, our realme as novv doth stand.
22
Let not the simple goe avvay vvith disappointed shame: But let the poore and needy aye giue praise vnto thy name.
23
Rise Lord, let be by thee maintainde the cause that is thine ovvne: Remember hovv that thou blasphemde art by the foolish one.
24
The voyce forget not of thy foes, for the presuming hye Is more and more increast of those that hate thee spitefully.
