The second part.
[verse 13] O God, thou art our King and Lord,
and evermore hast been:
Yea, thy good grace throughout the world
for our good help hath seen.
[verse 14] The seas that are so deep and dead,
thy might did make them dry:
And thou didst break the serpents head,
that he therein did die.
[verse 15] Yea, thou didst break the heads so great
of whales that are so fell:
And gav'st them to the folk to eat
that in the deserts dwell.
[verse 16] Thou mad'st a spring with streams to rise
from rock both hard and high:
And eke thy hand hath made likewise
deep rivers to be dry.
[verse 17] Both day and eke the night are thine,
by thee they were begun:
Thou sett'st to serve us with their shine,
the light and eke the sun.
[verse 18] Thou didst appoint the ends and coasts
of all the earth about:
Both summer-heats, and winter-frosts,
thy hand hath found them out.
[verse 19] Think on, O Lord, no time forget
thy foes that thee defame:
And how the foolish folk are set
to rail upon thy Name.
[verse 20] O let no cruel beasts devour
thy turtle that is true:
Forget not always in thy power
the poor that much do rue.
[verse 21] Regard thy covenant, and behold,
thy foes possess the land:
All sad and dark, forworn and old
our realm as now doth stand.
[verse 22] Let not the simple go away,
nor yet return with shame:
But let the poor and needy ay
give praise unto thy Name.
[verse 23] Rise, Lord, let be by thee maintain'd
the cause that is thine own:
Remember how that thou blasphem'd
art by the foolish one.
[verse 24] The voice forget not of thy foes,
for the presumption high
Is more and more in creast of those
that hate thee spitefully.
