PSALM LIV.

Deus in nomine

J. H.

SAve me, O God, by thy great Name, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and for thy goodness sake: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Unto the strength (Lord) of the same. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I do my cause betake. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 2] Regard, O Lord, and give an ear 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to me when I do pray: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Bow down thy self to me, and hear 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the words that I do say. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 3] For strangers up against me rise, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and tyrants vex me still: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Which have not God before their eyes, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 they seek my soul to spill. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 4] But loe, my God doth give me aid, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the Lord is straight at hand: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 With them by whom my soul is staid, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the Lord doth ever stand. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 5] With plagues repay again all those 〈♫〉〈♫〉 for me that lie in wait: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And in thy truth destroy my foes 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with their own snare and bait. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 6] An offring of free heart and will, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 then I to thee shall make: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And praise thy Name, for therein still 〈♫〉〈♫〉 great comfort I do take. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 7] O Lord, at length do set me free 〈♫〉〈♫〉 from them that craft conspire: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And now mine eye with joy doth see 〈♫〉〈♫〉 on them my hearts desire. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
