The second part.

 [verse 11]  The birds that build on high,
in hills and out of sight:
And beasts that in the fields do lie,
are subject to my might.
 [verse 12]  Then though I hungred sore,
what need I ought of thine,
Sith that the earth with her great store,
and all therein is mine?

 [verse 13]  To bulls flesh have I minde
to eat it dost thou think?
Or such a sweetness do I finde
the bloud of goats to drink?
 [verse 14]  Give to the Lord his praise,
with thanks to him apply:
And see thou pay thy vows always
unto the God mòst high.

 [verse 15]  Then seek and call to me,
when ought would work thee blame:
And I will sure deliver thee,
that thou mayst praise my Name.
 [verse 16]  But to the wicked train,
which talk of God each day,
And yet their works are foul and vain,
to them the Lord will say,

 [verse 17]  With what a face dar'st thou
my word once speak or name?
Why doth thy talk my law allow,
thy deeds deny the same?
 [verse 18]  Whereas for to amend
thy life thou art so slack:
My word the which thou dost pretend,
is cast behinde thy back.
