hast done great things, O God who is like to thee? Thou which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken mee againe, and shalt bring mee up againe from the depthes of the earth. Thou shalt en∣crease my greatnesse, and comfort me on every side. I will also praise thee, with the Psaltery even thy truth: O my God unto thee will I sing with the Harpe, O thou holy one of Israel: My lips shall greatly rejoyce when I sing unto thee: and my soule which thou hast redeemed: my tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame that seeke my hurt.

MICAH: 7, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

A mans enemies are the men of his owne house: Therefore I will looke unto the Lord; I will waite for the God of my salvation, my God will heare mee: Rejoyce not against me ô mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise: when I sit in darknesse, the Lord shall bee a light unto mee. I will beare the indig∣nation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, untill hee plead my cause and execute judge∣ment for mee, Hee will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousnesse. Then shee that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto mee, where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her, now shall she be troden downe, as the mire of the streets.
