The second part.
[verse 11] Then, Lord, depart not now from me in this my present grief, Since I have none to be my help, my succoar and relief. [verse 12] So many bulls do compass me that be full strong of had: Yea bulls so fat as though they had in Basan field been fed.
[verse 13] They gape upon me greedily, as though they would me flay: Much like a lion roaring out, and ramping for his prey. [verse 14] But I drop down like water shed, my joynts in sunder break, My heart doth in my body melt like wax against the heat.
[verse 15] And like a potsherd dith my strength, my tongue it cleaveta fast Unto my jaws, and I am brought to dust of death at last. [verse 16] And many dogs do compass me, and wicked coansel eke Conspire against me cursedly; they pierce my hands and feet.
[verse 17] I was tormented, so that I might all my bones have told: Yet still upon me they do look, and still they me behold. [verse 18] My garments they divided eke in parts among them all: And for my coat they did cast lots to whom it might befal.
[verse 19] Therefore, I pray thee, be not far from me at my great need: But rather, fith thou art my strength, to help me, Lord, make speed. [verse 20] And from the sword, Lord, save my soul by thy might and thy power: And keep my soul thy darling dear, from dogs that would devour.
[verse 21] And from the lions mouth, that would me all in sunder shiver, And from the horns of Unicorns, Lord, safely me deliver. [verse 22] Then shall I to my brethren all thy majesty record: And in thy church shall praise the name of thee the living Lord.
