VAƲ. The sixth part.

 [verse 41]  Thy mercies great and manifold
let me obtain, O Lord:
Thy saving health let me enjoy,
according to thy word.
 [verse 42]  So shall I stop the slandrous mouths
of lewd men and unjust:
For in thy faithful promises
stands my comfort and trust.

 [verse 43]  The word of truth within my mouth
let ever still be prest:
For in thy judgements wonderful
my hope doth stand and rest.
 [verse 44]  And whil'st that breath within my breast
doth natural life preserve,
Yea, till this world shall be dissolv'd,
thy law will I observe.

 [verse 45]  So walk will I as set at large,
and made free from all dread;
Because I sought how for to keep
thy precepts and thy read.
 [verse 46]  Thy noble acts I will describe,
as things of most great fame:
Even before kings I will them blaze,
and shrink no whit for shame.

 [verse 47]  I will rejoyce then to obey
thy worthy hests and will:
Which evermore I have lov'd best,
and so will love them still.
 [verse 48]  My hands I will lift to thy laws
which I have dearly sought:
And practise thy commandments
in will, in deed, in thought.
