The second part.

 [verse 9]  From all the sins that I have done,
Lord, quit me out of hand,
And make me not a scorn to fools
that nothing understand.
 [verse 10]  I was as dumb, and to complain
no trouble might me move:
Because I knew it was thy work,
my patience for to prove.

 [verse 11]  Lord, take from me thy scourge & plague,
I can them not withstand:
I faint and pine away for fear
of thy most heavy hand.
 [verse 12]  When thou for sin dost man rebuke,
he waxeth wo and wan,
As doth a cloth that moths have fret,
so vain a thing is man.

 [verse 13]  Lord, hear my suit and give good heed,
regard my tears that fall:
I sojourn like a stranger here,
as did my fathers all.
 [verse 14]  O spare a little, give me space
my strength for to restore,
Before I go away from hence,
and shall be seen no more.
