[verse 17] For why? in number they exceed 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the hairs upon my head: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
My heart doth faint for very dread, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that I am almost dead. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 18] With speed send help and set me free, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
O Lord I thee require: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Make haste with aid to succour me, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
O Lord at my desire. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 19] Let them sustain rebuke and shame, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that seek my soul to spill: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Drive back my foes, and them defame, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that wish and would me ill. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 20] For their ill deeds do them descry, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that would deface my name: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Always at me they rail and cry, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
fie on him, fie for shame. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 21] Let them in thee have joy and wealth 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that seek to thee alwayes: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
That those that love thy saving health 〈♫〉〈♫〉
may say, To God be praise. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 22] But as for me, I am but poor, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
opprest and brought full low: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Yet thou, O Lord, wilt me restore 〈♫〉〈♫〉
to health, full well I know. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
