The second part.
[verse 13] I have not hid within my brest
thy goodness as by stealth:
But I declare and have exprest
thy truth and saving health.
[verse 14] I kept not close thy loving minde,
that no man should it know:
The trust that in thy truth I finde,
to all the Church I show.
[verse 15] Thy tender mercy, Lord, from me
withdraw thou not away:
But let thy love and veritie
preserve me still for ay.
[verse 16] For I with mischiefs many a one
am sore beset about:
My sins increase, and so come on,
I cannot spie them out.
[verse 17] For why? in number they exceed
the hairs upon my head:
My heart doth faint for very dread,
that I am almost dead.
[verse 18] With speed send help and set me free,
O Lord, I thee require:
Make haste with aid to succour me,
O Lord, at my desire.
[verse 19] Let them sustain rebuke and shame
that seek my soul to spill:
Drive back my foes, and them defame
that wish and would me ill.
[verse 20] For their ill feats do them descry
that would deface my name:
Always at me they rail and cry,
Fie on him, fie for shame.
[verse 21] Let them in thee have joy and wealth
that seek to thee alwaies:
That those that love thy saving health
may say, To God be praise.
[verse 22] But as for me, I am but poor,
opprest and brought full low:
Yet thou, O Lord, wilt me restore
to health, full well I know.
[verse 23] For why? thou art my hope and trust,
my refuge, help and stay:
Wherefore my God, as thou art just,
with me no time delay.
