The second Part.

[verse 13] If that my foes did seek my shame 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I might it well abide: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 From o∣pen en'mies check and blame: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 some where I could me hide. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 14] But thou that wast, my fellow dear, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 which friendship didst pretend: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And didst my secret counsel hear, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 as my familiar friend. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 15] With whom I had delight to talk 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in secret and abroad: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And we together oft did walk 〈♫〉〈♫〉 within the house of God. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 16] Let death in hast upon them fall 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and send them quick to hell: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 For mischief-reigneth in the hall 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and parlour where they dwell. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 17] But I unto my God will cry, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to him for help I flee: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 The Lord will hear me by and by, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and he will succour me. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 18] At morning, noon, and ev'ning tide, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 unto the Lord I pray: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 When I so instantly have cry'd, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 he doth not say me nay. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 19] To peace he shall restore me yet, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 though war be now at hand: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Al∣though the n••••aber be full great, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that would against me stand. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 20] The Lord that first and last doth reign. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 both now and evermore: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Will hear when I to him complain, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and punish them full sore. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 21] For sure there is no hope that they 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to turn will once accord: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 For why? they will not God obey, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 nor yet do fear the Lord. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 22] Upon their friends they laid their hands, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 which were in cov'nant knit: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Of friendship to neglect the bands, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 they pass or care no what. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 23] While they have war within their hearts, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 as butter are their words: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Altho' their words were smooth as oyl 〈♫〉〈♫〉 they cut as sharp as swords. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 24] Cast thou thy care upon the Lord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and he shall nourish thee: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 For in no wise will he accord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the just in thrall to see. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 25] But God shall cast them deep in pit 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that thirst for blood always: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 He will no guileful man permit 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to live out half his days. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 26] Tho' such be quite destroy'd and gone 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in thee, O Lord, I trust: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I shall depend thy grace upon, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with all my heart and lust. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
