[verse 11] Lay hand and take him now they said, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 for God from him is gone: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Dis∣patch him quite, for to his aid 〈♫〉〈♫〉 (I wis) there cometh none. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 12] Do not ab∣sent thy self away, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 O Lord, when need shall be; 〈♫〉〈♫〉 But that in time of grief thou may 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in haste give help to me. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 13] With shame confound and overthrow 〈♫〉〈♫〉 all those that seek my life: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Oppress them with rebuke also, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that fain would work me strise. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 14. But I will patiently abide 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thy help at all assays: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Still more and more, each time and tide, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I will set forth thy praise. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 15] My mouth thy justice shall record, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that daily help doth send: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 But of thy benefits, O Lord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I know no count nor end. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 16] Yet will I goe and seek forth one, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with thy good help, O God: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 The saving health of thee alone 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to shew and set abroad. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 17] For of my youth thou took'st the care, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and dost instruct me still: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Therefore thy wonders to declare, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I have great mind and will. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 18] And as in youth from wanton rage 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thou didst me keep and stay: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Forsake me not unto mine age, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and till my head be gray. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
