The second part.

[verse 11] He in his heart of God hath said, Forgotten this hath he: The Lord doth closely hide his face, he will it never see. [verse 12] Arise, O Lord, O God, in whom the poore mans hope doth rest, Lift up thy hand, forget not, Lord, the poore that be opprest.

[verse 13] Wherefore doth thus the wicked man the highest God despise? Thou wilt not, in his heart he saies, avenge his injuries. [verse 14] Thou dost their spight and mischiefe see, by thee to be repaid: The poore do hide themselves by thee, the orp•…•…aus thou dost aid.

[verse 15] Break thou the arme of wicked men, the sinners strength confound; Seek out, and judge his wickednesse, till none by thee be found. [verse 16] The Lord is King for evermore, and by his mighty hand The heathen quite are perished, and driven from his land.

[verse 17] By thee the humble mans desires heard, Lord, and granted were; Thou wilt prepare their hearts, and thou wilt cause thine eate to heare. [verse 18] To judge the poore and fatherlesse, and help them to their right, That they may be no more opprest by men of worldly might.
