PSALM LIV.

LOrd, for thy Promise sake defend, And Thy All-saving Shield extend: O hear my cries, Which with wet Eyes And sighs to Thee ascend!
For cruel men my life pursue; And who thy Statutes never knew. Suppress my Foes: O side with those, Who to my soul are true!

Page 94

With vengeance recompence their Hate, And in an instant ruinate. Then will I bring My Offering, And thy great Acts relate.
Thy Name for ever praised be; Who from those snares hast set me free: For loe, these eyes My Enemies Desir'd subversion see.
