The second part.

 [verse 13]  O God that art God of my health,
from bloud deliver me:
That praises of thy righteousness
my tongue may sing to thee.
 [verse 14]  My lips that yet fast closed be,
do thou, O Lord, unloose:
The praises of thy majestie
my mouth shall so disclose.

 [verse 15]  I would have offred sacrifice,
it that had pleased thee:
But pleased with burnt-offerings
I know thou wilt not be.
 [verse 16]  A troubled spirit is sacrifice
delightful in Gods eyes:
A broken and an humble heart,
God, thou wilt not despise,

 [verse 17]  In thy good will deal gently, Lord,
to Sion, and withal
Grant that of thy Jerusalem
uprear'd may be the wall.
 [verse 18]  Burnt-offrings, gifts, and sacrifice
of justice in that day
Thou shalt accept, and calves they shall
upon thine altar lay.
