The second part.
[verse 12] Tush, God forgetteth this, saith he,
therefore I may be bold:
His countenance is cast aside,
he doth it not behold.
[verse 13] Arise, O Lord, O God, in whom
the poor mans hope doth rest:
Lift up thy hand, forget not, Lord,
the poor that be opprest.
[verse 14] What blasphemy is this to thee,
Lord, dost thou not abhor it,
To hear the wicked in their heart
say, Tush, thou car'st not for it?
[verse 15] But thou seest all their wickedness,
and well dost understand
[verse 16] That friendless and poor fatherless
are left into thy hand.
[verse 17] Of wicked and malicious men
then break the power for ever,
That they with their iniquity
may perish altogether.
[verse 18] The Lord shall reign for evermore
as King and God alone,
And he will chase the heathen folk
out of the land each one.
[verse 19] Thou hear'st, O Lord, the poor mens plaint
their prayers and request:
Their hearts thou wilt confirm, until
thine ears to hear be prest:
[verse 20] To judge the poor and fatherless,
and help them to their right;
That they may be no more opprest
by men of worldly might.
