ט TETH. The 9. part.

Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,Line 65 
as thou didst promise give.
Good judgement me, and knowledge, teach;Line 66 
for I thy word believe.
Ere I afflicted was, I stray'd,Line 67 
but now I keep thy word,
Both good thou art, and good thou dost:Line 68 
teach me thy statutes, Lord.

The men, that are puft up with pride,Line 69 
against me forg'd a ly:
Yet thy commandements observe
with my whole heart will I.
Their hearts, through worldly ease & wealth,Line 70 
as fat as grease they be:
But in thy holy Law I take
delight continually.

It hath been very good for me,Line 71 
that I afflicted was,
That I might well instructed be,
and learn thy holy Laws.
The word that cometh from thy mouthLine 72 
is better unto me,
Then many thousands, and great summs
of gold and silver be.
