KOPH. The nineteenth part.

[verse 145] With fervent heart I call'd and cri'd, nowan swer me, O Lord: That thy commandments to observe I may fully accord. [verse 146] To thee, my God, I make my suit with most humble request: Save me therefore, and I will keep thy precepts and thy hests.

[verse 147] To thee I cry even in the morn before the day wax light: Because that I have in thy word my confidence whole plight.

[verse 148] Mine eyes prevent the watch by night, and ere they call I wake: That by devising on thy word I might some comfort take.

[verse 149] Incline thine ears to hear my voice, and pity on me take: As thou wa••t wont, so judge me Lord, lest life should me forsake. [verse 150] My foes draw near, and do procure my death maliciously, Which from thy law are far gone back, and stray'd from it lewdly.

[verse 151] Therefore, O Lord, approach thou near, for need doth so require: For all thy precepts true they are, then help I thee desire. [verse 152] But thy commandments have I learn'd not now but long ago, That they remain for evermore, thou hast them grounded so.
