[verse 11] Sing psalms therefore unto the Lord that dwells on Sion hill: Publish among all nations his noble acts and will. [verse 12] For he is mindful of the bloud of those that be opprest: For getting not th' afflicted heart that seeks to him for rest.
[verse 13] Have mercy, Lord, on me poor wretch, whole enemies still remain, Which from the gates of death are wont, to raise me up again. [verse 14] In Sion that I might set forth thy praise with heart and voice, And that in thy salvation, Lord, my soul might still rejoyce.
[verse 15] The heathen stick fast in the pit that they themselves prepar'd, And in the net that they did set their own feet fast are snar'd. [verse 16] God shews his judgements, which were good for every man to mark, When as you see the wicked man ly trapt in his own wark.
[verse 17] The wicked and deceitful men go down to hell for ever, And all the people of the world, that will not God remember. [verse 18] But sure the Lord will not forget the poor mans grief and pain: The patient people never look for help of God in vain.
[verse 19] O Lord arise, lest men prevail that he of wordly might: And set the heathen solk receive their judgement in thy sight. [verse 20] Lord, strike such terrour, fear, and dread, into the hearts of them, That they may know assuredly they be but mottal men.
