The third part.

 [verse 21]  Yet thus my heart was grieved then,
my minde was much opprest:
 [verse 22]  So fond was I and ignorant,
and in this point a beast.
 [verse 23]  Yet nevertheless by my right hand
thou hold'st me always fast:
 [verse 24]  And with thy counsel dost me guide
to glory at the last.

 [verse 25]  What thing is there that I can wish
but thee in heaven above?
And in the earth there is nothing
like thee that I can love.
 [verse 26]  My flesh and eke my heart doth fail,
but God doth fail me never:
For of my health God is the strength,
my portion eke for ever.

 [verse 27]  And lo, all such as thee forsake
thou shalt destroy each one:
And those that trust in any thing
saving in thee alone.
 [verse 28]  Therefore will I draw near to God,
and ever with him dwell:
In God alone I put my trust,
thy wonders I will tell.
