The second Part.

[verse 11] Yet of this time the strength and chief 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the which we count upon: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Is nothing else but painful grief, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and we like blasts are gone. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 12] Who once doth know what strength is there, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 what might thine anger hath? 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Or in his heart he doth thee fear 〈♫〉〈♫〉 according to thy wrath? 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 13] Instruct us, Lord, to know and try, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 how long our days remain: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 That then we may our hearts apply 〈♫〉〈♫〉 true wisdom to obtain. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 14] Return, O Lord, how long wilt thou 〈♫〉〈♫〉 forth on in wrath proceed? 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Shew favour to thy servants now, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and help them at their need. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 15] Refresh us with thy mercy soon, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and then our joy shall be: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 All times so long as life doth last, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in heart rejoice shall we. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 16] As thou hast plagued us before, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 now also make us glad: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And for the years wherein full sore 〈♫〉〈♫〉 affliction we have had. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 17] O let thy work and pow'r appear, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and on thy servants light: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And shew unto thy children dear 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thy glory and thy might. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 18] Lord let thy grace and glory stand 〈♫〉〈♫〉 on us thy servants thus: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Confirm the works we take in hand, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Lord prosper them to us. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
