Psalm III. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Cantus. Proper Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉O Lord, how are my foes increast, which vex me more & more:
〈♫〉〈♫〉They kill my heart when as they say, God can him not restore.
〈♫〉〈♫〉But thou, O Lord, art my defence, when I am hard bestead:
〈♫〉〈♫〉My worship and mine honor both, and thou hold'st up my head.
〈♫〉〈♫〉Then with my voice upon the Lord I did both call and cry:
〈♫〉〈♫〉And he out of his holy hill did hear me speedily.
〈♫〉〈♫〉I laid me down, and quietly I slept, and rose again:
〈♫〉〈♫〉For why? I know assuredly the Lord will me sustain.
〈♫〉〈♫〉If ten thousand had hem'd me in, I could not be afraid:
〈♫〉〈♫〉For thou art still my Lord and God, my Saviour and mine aid.
〈♫〉〈♫〉To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, all Glory be therefore:
〈♫〉〈♫〉As in beginning was, is now, and shall be evermore.
