On earth is sure to have.
He shall not be delivered
Unto his enemies will:
[verse 3] But on his bed
Be strengthened,
VVhen he is weak and ill.* 1.3
His bed all made, when sick and sore,
[verse 4] Be gracious LORD to mee,
I said therefore,
My soul restore,* 1.4
For I offended thee.
[verse 5] Mine enemies speak ill of me,
When comes his dying day:
And when shall we
Survive to see
His perished name, say they?
[verse 6] If visit me, he complements,
His heart it self doth load
With vile intents,
All which he vents
VVhen ere he goes abroad.
