[verse 16] Thou mad'st a spring with streams to rise, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
from rock both hard and high: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And eke thy hand hath made likewise 〈♫〉〈♫〉
deep rivers to be drie. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 17] Both day and eke the night are thine, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
by thee they were begun: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Thou setst to serve us with their shine, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the moon and eke the sun. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 18] Thou didst appoint the ends and coasts 〈♫〉〈♫〉
of all the earth about: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Both sum∣mer-heats and winter-frosts, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
thy hand hath found them out. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 19] Think on (O Lord) no time forget, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
thy foes that thee defame: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
And how the foolish folk are set, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
to rail upon thy Name. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 20] O let no cruel beasts devour 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the Turtle that is true: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Forget not al∣ways in thy pow'r 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the poor that much do rue. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 21] Regard thy cov'nant, and behold, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
thy foes possess the land: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
All sad and dark, far worn and old, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
our realm as now doth stand. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 22] Let not the simple go away, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
nor yet return with shame: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
But let the poor and needy aye, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
give praise unto thy Name. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 23] Rise (Lord) let be by thee maintain'd, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
the cause that is thine own: 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Remember how that thou blasphem'd 〈♫〉〈♫〉
art by the foolish one. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
[verse 24] The voice forget not of thy foes, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
for the presumption high, 〈♫〉〈♫〉
Is more and more increast of those 〈♫〉〈♫〉
that hate thee spitefully. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
