Deus, in nomine. Psal. liv.

J. H.

GOd, save me for thy holy Name, and for thy goodness sake: Unto the strength, Lord, of the same I do my cause betake. [verse 2] Regard, O Lord, and give an ear to me when I do pray: Bow down thy self to me, and hear the words that I do say.

[verse 3] For strangers up against me rise, and tyrants vex me still, Which have not God before their eyes: they seek my soul to spill. [verse 4] But so, my God doth give me aid, the Lord is straight at hand: With them by whom my soul is staid. The Lord doth ever stand.

[verse 5] With plagues repay again all those for me that lie in wait: And in thy truth destroy my foes with their own snare and bait. [verse 6] An offering of free heart and will then I to thee shall make, And praise thy Name; for therein still great comfort I do take.

[verse 7] O Lord, at length do set me free from them that craft conspire: And now mine eye with joy doth see on them my hearts desire.
