The second part.
[verse 13] Though I to them did shew good will, they hate to me returne: When thus they pay my good with ill, my spoiled soule doth mourne. [verse 14] But as •…•…or me, when sick were they, in sackeloth sad I mourn'd: My humble soule did fast and pray, which prai'r to me return'd.
[verse 15] To him much kindnesse I have done, as to a friend or brother; I sadly bowed downe, as one that mourneth for his mother. [verse 16] But they at my great sorrow glad, against me gathered were: Abjects their secret meetings had, and ceast not me to teare.
[verse 17] With sco•…•…ing hypocrites in feasts these men combined be; Who mock me with their bitter jests, and gnash their teeth on me. [verse 18] These things how long, Lord, wilt thou see? from their spoiles rescue mee; And let my soule, my darling be from Lions kept by thee.
[verse 19] Then in the congregation great I will give thankes to thee; And where the mighty throngs are met, thou shalt be prais'd by mee. [verse 20]

O do not glad mine enemy, which hates me wrongfully; Nor let him winking with his eye enjoy my misery.
[verse 21] For they of peace no word do say, but plots do take in hand; That craftily destroy they may the quiet of the land, [verse 22] And now their mouths they open lay in scorne and spite at me; So, so, our hearts desire, they say, on him our eie doth see.
[verse 23] This thou, O Lord, dost plainly see, no longer silent stand; O Lord, be thou not far from me, withholding still thine hand. [verse 24] Stirre up thy selfe, and now awake to give me judgement right: Awake, my cause in hand to take, my God, my Lord of might.
