A Prayer for victory against our Enemies.
O God, my heart is ready (my heart is ready) I will sing and give praise with the best member I have.
2 Awake thou lute and harp: I my selfe will awake right early.
3 I will give thankes unto thee. O Lord, a∣mong the people: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
5 For thy mercy is greater then the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Set up thy selfe (O God) above the hea∣vens: and thy glory above all the earth.
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: let thy right hand save them, and heare thou me.
7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: I will reioyce therefore, and divide Sithem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine, and Manasses is mine: Ephraim also is the strength of mine head.
9 Iuda is my lawgiver. Moab is my wash∣pot: over Edom will I cast out my shooe, upon the Philistines will I triumph.
10 Who will lead me into the strong city: and who will bring me into Edom?
11 Hast not thou forsaken us, O God▪ and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 O helpe us against the enemy: for vain is the helpe of man.
13 Through God we shall do great acts: and it is he that shall tread down our enemies.
O Lord God, whose mercie is greater then the Heavens, and thy glory is above all the earth, be thou exalted in thine owne strength, and
magnifie thy power and thy mercy in defending us, and all thy holy Church, against all our enemies temporall and spirituall. Forsake us not O God our defence, for vain is the help of man, do thou strengthen us and go forth with our hosts to bat∣tell, that we being defended and armed by thee, may do acts great and good, fighting thy battels, and putting our confidence in thy righteousnesse onely, and salvation, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
