Misericordiam
Author: N. Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: I mercy will and judgement sing Lyrics: 1 I mercy will and judgment sing,
O Lord God unto thee
2 And wisely do in a perfect way,
untill thou come to me.
And in the midst of my house walk,
in purenesse of my sprite:
3 And I no kind of wicked thing
will see before my sight.
4 I hate their work that fall away,
it shall not cleave to me.
From me shall part the froward heart
none evill will I see.
5 Him will I stroy that slandereth
his neighbour privily:
The lofty heart I cannot beare,
nor him that looketh hie.
6 Mine eyes shall be on them within
the land that faithfull be:
In perfect way they who walketh shall
be servant unto me.
7 I will now guilefull person have,
within my house to dwell:
And in my presence shall he not
remaine that lies doth tell.
8 Betimes I will destroy even all
the wicked of the land:
That I may from Gods City cut
the wicked workers hand. Scripture: Psalm 101
Misericordiam
Domine exaudi
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O heare my prayer Lord and let Lyrics: 1 O heare thou my prayer Lord and let
my cry come unto thee.
2 In time of trouble do hot hide,
thy face away from me.
3 Incline thine eare to me, make hast
to heare me when I call:
For as the smoke doth fade, so do,
my daies consume and fall.
4 And as an harth my bones are burnt,
my heart is smitten dead:
And withers like the grasse that I
forget to eat lay bread.
5 By reason of my groaning voice,
my bones cleave to my skin:
6 As Pelican in wildernesse,
such case now am I in.
7 And as an Owle in desart is,
Lo, I am such a one:
I watch and as a Sparrow on
the house top am alone.
8 Lo daily in reproachfull wise,
my enemies do me scorne:
And they that do against me rage,
against me they have sworne.
9 Surely with ashes as with bread,
my hunger I have fild;
And mingled have my drink with teares
that from my eyes have stild.
10 Because of thy displeasure Lord,
thy wrath and great disdaine:
For thou hast lifted me aloft,
and cast me down againe.
11 The daies wherein I passe my life,
are like the fleeting shade:
And I am wither'd like the grasse,
which soone away doth fade.
12 But thou O Lord for ever dost
remaine in steady place:
And thy remembrance ever doth
abide from race to race.
The second Part:
13 Thou wilt arise, and mercy thou
to Sion wilt extend:
The time of mercy, now the time
foreset is come to end.
14 For even in the stones thereof
thy servants do delight:
And on the dust thereof they have
compassion in their sprite.
15 Then shall the heathen people feare
the Lords most holy Name:
And all the Kings on earth shall dread
his glory and thy fame.
16 Then when the Lord the mighty God
againe shall Sion reare:
And then when he most nobly in
his glory shall appeare.
17 To prayer of the poor desolate,
when he himselfe doth bend:
When he shall not disdaine unto
their prayers to attend.
18 This shall be written for the age
that after shall succeed:
The people yet imcreated
the Lord's renown shall spread.
19 For he from his high Sancturary
hath looked downe below:
And out of heaven hath the Lord
beheld the earth also.
20 That of the mourning captive he
might heare the wofull cry:
And that he might deliver those
that damned are to die.
21 That they in Sion may declare
the Lord's most holy Name:
And in Jerusalem set forth
the praises of the same.
22 Then when the people of the lands,
and kingdomes with accord,
Shall be assembled for to do
their service to the Lord.
The third Part.
213My former force of strength he hath
abated in the way:
And shorter he hath cut my daies,
thus I therefore did say:
24 My God in midst of all my daies
now take me not away:
Thy yeares endure eternally,
from age to age I say.
25 Thou the foundations of the earth
before all time hast laid:
And Lord the heavens are the work
which thine own hands have made.
26 Yea they shall perish and decay,
but thou shalt tarry still:
And they shall all in time waxe old,
e'en as a garment will.
25 Thou as a garment shalt them change,
and changed they shall be:
But thou dost still abide the same,
thy yeares do never flee.
26 The children of thy servants shall
continually endure:
And in thy sight their happy seed
for ever shall stand sure. Scripture: Psalm 102
Domine exaudi
Benedic anima
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: My soule give laud unto the Lord Lyrics: 1 My soule give laud unto the Lord,
my spirit shall do the same:
And all the secrets of my heart,
praise ye his holy Name.
2 Give thanks to God for all his gifts
shew not thy selfe unkind:
And suffer not his benefits
to slip out of thy mind.
3 That gave thee pardon for thy faults,
and thee restor'd againe:
From all thy weak and fraile disease,
and heal'd thee of thy paine.
4 That did redeeme thy life from death
from which thou couldst not flee:
His mercy and compassion both
he did extend to thee.
5 That fil'd with goodnesse thy desire,
and did prolong thy youth:
Like as the Eagle casts her bill,
whereby her age renew'th.
6 The Lord with justice doth repay
all such as are opprest:
So that their sufferings and wrongs
Are turned to the best.
7 His waies and his commandements
to Moses he did show:
His counsels and his valiant acts
the Israelites did know.
8 The Lord is kind and mercifull,
when sinners do him grieve:
The slowest to conceive a wrath,
and readiest to forgive.
9 He chides us not continually,
though we be full of strife:
Nor keep our faults in memory,
for all our sinfull life.
10 Nor yet according to our sins
The Lord doth us regard:
Nor after our iniquities
he doth us not reward.
11 But as the space is wondrous great
'twixt earth and heaven above:
So is his goodnesse much more large
to them that do him love.
12 God doth remove our sins from us,
and our offences all:
As farre as is the Sun-rising
full distant from his fall.
The second Part:
13 And look what pitie parents deare
unto their children beare:
Like pitie beareth God to such
as worship him in feare.
14 The Lord that made us knows our shape,
our mold and fashion just:
How weake and fraile our nature is,
and that we are but dust.
15 And now the time of mortall men
is like the withering hay:
Or like the flower right faire in field,
that fades full soon away.
16 Whose glosse and beauty stormy winds
do utterly disgrace:
And make that after their assaults
such blossomes have no place.
17 But yet the goodnesse of the Lord
with his shall everstand:
Their childrens children shall receive
his righteousnesse at hand.
18 I meane which keep his covenant
with all their whole desire:
And not forget to do the thing
that he doth them require.
19 The heavens high are made the seat
and foot-stoole of the Lord:
And by his power imperiall
he governs all the world.
20 Ye Angels which are great in power,
praise ye and blesse the Lord:
Which to obey and do his will,
immediately accord.
21 Ye noble hosts and Ministers,
cease not to laud him still:
Which ready are to execute
his pleasure and his will.
22 Yea all his works in every place,
praise ye his holy Name:
My heart, my mind and eke my soule
praise ye also the same. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: [My soule give laud unto the Lord]
Benedic anima
Confitemini Dom.
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Give praises unto God the Lord Lyrics: 1 Give praises unto God the Lord,
and call upon his Name:
Among the people all declare
his works to spread his fame.
2 Sing ye unto the Lord I say,
and sing unto his praise:
And talk of all his wondrous works
that he hath wrought alwaies.
3 In honour of his holy Name
rejoyce with one accord:
And let the heart also rejoyce
of them that seek the Lord.
4 Seek ye the Lord, and seek the strength
of his eternall might:
And seek his face continually,
and presence of his sight.
5 The wondrous works which he hath done
keep still in mindfull heart:
Ne let the judgements of his mouth
out of your mind depart.
6 Ye that of faithfull Abraham
his servant are the seed:
Ye his elect the children that
of Jacob do proceed.
7 For he, he onely is I say,
the mighty Lord our God:
And his most rightfull judgements are
through all the world abroad.
8 His promise and his covenant
which he hath made to his,
He hath remembered evermore,
to thousands of degrees.
The second Part:
9 The covenant which he hath made
with Abraham long ago:
And faithfull oath which he hath sworne
to Isaac also.
10 And did confirme the same for law,
that Jacob should obeL,
And for eternall covenant
to Israel for aye.
11 When this he said, lo I to you
all Canaan land will give:
The lot of your inheritance,
wherein your seed shall live.
12 Although their number at that time
did very small appeare:
Yea very small, and in the land
they then but strangers were.
13 While yet they walked from land to land
without a sure abode:
And while from sundry kingdomes they
did wander all abroad.
14 And wrong at no oppressors hand
he suffered them to take:
But even great and mighty Kings
reproved for their sake.
15 And thus he said: Touch ye not those
that mine annointed be:
Nor do the Prophets any harm
that do pertain to me.
16 He cal'd a dearth upon the land,
of bread stroid the store:
But he against the time of need
did send a man before.
The third Part.
17 Even Joseph which had once been sold
to live a slave in wo:
Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul
the iron pierc'd also
18 Untill the time came, when his cause
was known apparently:
The mighty word of God the Lord
his faultlesse truth did trie.
19 The King sent and delivered him
from prison where he was:
20 The ruler of the people then
did freely let him passe.
21 And over all his house he made
him lord, to beare the sway:
And of his substance made him have
the rule and all the stay.
22 That he might to his will instruct
the Princes of the land:
And wisdomes lore his ancieth men
might cause to understand.
23 Then into the Egyptian land
came Israel also:
And Jacob in the land of Ham
did live a stranger tho.
24 His people he exceedingly
in numbers made to flow,
And over all their enemies,
in strength he made them grow.
25 Whose heart he turn'd, that they with hate
his people did intreat:
And did his servants wrongfully
abuse with base deceit.
The fourth Part.
26 His faithfull servant Moses then,
and Aaron whom he chose,
He did command to go to them,
his message to disclose.
27 His wonderful and mighty signes
among them they did show:
And wonders in the land of Ham
then did they work also.
28 Darknesse he sent, and made it dark
in stead of brighter day:
And unot his commision,
they did not disobey.
29 He turn'd their waters into blood,
he did their fishes slay:
30 Their land brought frogs even in the place
where their King Pharaoh lay.
31 He spake, and at his voice there came
great swarms of noisome flies,
And all the quarters of their land
were fil'd with crawling lice.
32 He gave them cold and stony haile
instead of milder raine:
And fiery flames within their land
he sent unto their paine.
33 He smote their vines and all their trees
whereon the figs did grow:
And all the trees within their coasts
downe did he overthrow.
34 He spake, then Caterpillars did
and Grasshoppers abound:
35 Which ate the grasse in all their land,
and fruit of all their ground.
The fifth Part.
36 The first-begotten in their land,
eke deadly he did smite:
Yea the beginning and first fruit
of all their force and might:
37 With gold and silver he them brought
from Egypt land to passe:
And in the number of their Tribes
no feeble one there was.
38 Egypt was glad and joyfull then
when they did thence depart:
For terrour and the feare of them
was faln upon their heart:
39 To shroud them from the parching heat
a cloud he did display:
And fire he sent to give them light,
when night had hid the day.
40 They asked, and he caused Quailes
to raine at their request:
And fully with the bread of heaven
their hunger he represt.
41 He opened the stony rock,
and waters gushed out:
And in the dry and parched ground
like rivers ran about.
42 For of his holy covenant
aye mindfull was he tho:
Which to his servant Abraham
he plighted long ago.
43 He brought his people forth with mirth,
and his elect with joy,
Out of the cruell land where they
had liv'd in great annoy.
44 And of the heathen men he gave
to them the fruitfull lands:
The labours of the people eke
they take into their hands.
45 That they his holy statutes might
observe for evermore:
And faithfully obey his lawes:
praise ye the Lord therefore. Scripture: Psalm 105
Confitemini Dom.
Confitemini Dom.
Author: W. K. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for he is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
his mercy dures for aye:
2 Who can expresse his noble acts,
or all his praise display?
3 They blessèd are that judgement keep,
and justly do alway:
With favour of thy people (Lord)
remember me, I pray.
4 And with thy saving health (O Lord)
vouchsafe to visit me:
That I the great felicity
of thine elect may see.
5 And with thy peoples joy I may
a joyfull mind possesse:
And may with thine inheritance
a glorying heart expresse.
6 Both we and eke our fathers all,
have simned every one:
We have committed wickednesse,
and lewdly we have done.
7 The wonders great which thou (O Lord)
hast done in Egypt s land:
Our fathers, though they saw them all,
yet did not understand.
Nor yet thy mercies multitude
did keep in thankfull mind:
But at the sea, yea, the red sea,
rebelled most unkind.
8 Neverthelesse he saved them
for honour of his Name
That he might make his power knowne
and spread abroad his fame.
9 The red sea he did then rebuke,
and forthwith it was dry'd:
And as in wildernesse, so through
the deep he did them guide.
10 He sav'd them from the cruell hand
of their despitefull foe:
And from the enemies hand he did
deliver them also.
The second Part:
11 The waters their oppressours whelm'd,
not one was left alive:
12 Then they believ'd his word, & praise
in song they did him give.
13 But very soon unthankfully
his works they clean forgot:
And for his counsell and his will
they did neglect to wait.
14 But lusted in the wildernesse,
with fond and greedy lust:
And in the desart tempted God,
the stay of all their trust.
15 And then their wanton minds desire
he suffer'd them to have:
But wasting leanenesse therewithall
unto their soules he gave.
16 Then when they lodged in their tents,
at Moses they did grutch:
Aaron the holy of the Lord
so did they envy much.
17 Therefore the earth did open wide,
and Dathan did devoure:
And all Abirams company
did cover in that houre.
18 In their assembly kindled was
a hot consuming fire:
And wasting flame did then burn up
the wicked in his ire.
19 Upon the hill of Horeb they
an idoll calfe did frame:
And there the molten image they
did worship of the same.
20 Into the likenesse of a Calfe
which feedeth on the grasse,
Thus they their glory turn'd and all
their honour did deface;
21 And God their onely Saviour
unkindly they forgot:
Which many great and mighty things
in Egypt land had wrought.
The third Part.
22 And in the land of Ham for them
most wondrous works had done:
And by the red sea dreadfull things
Perform-ed long agone.
23 Therefore for their so shewing them
forgetfull and unkind:
To bring destruction on them all
he purpos'd in his mind:
Had not his chosen Moses stood
before him in the break
To turn his wrath left he on them
with slaughter should him wreak.
24 They did despise the pleasant land,
that he behight to give:
Yea and the words that he had spoke
they did no whit believe.
25 But in their tents with grudging heart
they wickedly repin'd:
Nor to the voice of God the Lord
did give an hark'ning mind.
26 Therefore against them lifted he
his strong revenging hand:
Them to destroy in wildernesse,
ere they should see the land.
27 And to destroy their seed among
the nations with his rod:
And through the countries of the world
to scatter them abroad.
28 To Baal Peor then they did
and joyne themselves also:
And ate the offerings of the dead
so they forsook him tho.
29 Thus with their own inventions
his wrath they did provoke:
And in his sore inkindled wrath
the plague upon them broke.
30 But Phineas stood up with zeal
the sinners vile to slay:
And judgement he did execute,
and then the plague did stay.
The fourth Part.
31 It was imputed unto him
for righteousness that day,
And from thenceforth so counted is
from race to race, I say.
32 At waters eke of Meribah
they did him angry make:
Yea, so far forth that Moses then
was punish'd for their sake.
33 Because they vex'd his spirit so sore,
that in impatient heat
His lips spake unadvisedly,
his fervour was so great.
34 Nor as the Lord commanded them
they slew the people tho:
35 But were among the heathen mix'd,
and learn'd their works also.
36 And did their idols serve which were
their ruine and decay:
37 To fiends their sons and daughters they
they offer up and slay:
38 Yea with unkindly murdering knife
the guiltlesse blood they spilt:
Yet their own sons and daughters blooud
without all cause of guilt.
Whom they to Canaan idols then
offred with wicked hand:
And so with bloud of innocents
defiled was the land.
39 Thus they were stained with the works
of their own filthy way:
And with their own inventions
a whoring they did stray.
40 Therefore against his people was
the Lords wrath kindled sore:
And even his own inheritance
he did abhorre therefore.
41 Into the hands of heathen men
he gave them for a prey:
And made their foes their :ords, whom they
were forced to obey.
The fift Part:
42 Yea and their hatefull enemies
opprest them in their land:
And they were humbly made to stoope
as subjects to their hand.
43 Full oftentimes from thrall had he
delivered them before:
But with their counsels they to wrath
provok'd him evermore.
Therefore they by their wickednesse
were brought full low to lie:
44 Yet when he saw them in distresse.
he hearkened to their cry.
45 He cal'd to mind his covenant,
which he to them had swore:
And by his mercies multitude
repented him therefore.
46 And favour he them made to find,
before the sight of those
That led them captive from their land,
when erst they were their foes.
47 Save us O Lord that art our God,
save us (O Lord) we pray:
And from among the heathen folk,
Lord gather us away.
48 That we may spread the noble praise
of thy most holy Name:
That we may glory in thy praise,
and sounding of thy fame.
49 The Lord the God of Israel
be blest for evermore:
Let all the people say Amen.
praise ye the Lord therefore.
Scripture: Psalm 106
Confitemini Dom.
Confitemini Dom.
Author: W. K. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Give thanks unto the Lord our God Lyrics: 1 Give thanks unto the Lord our God,
for gracious is he:
And that his mercy hath no end
all mortall men may see.
2 Such as the Lord redeemed hath
with thanks shall praise his Name!
And shew how they from foes were freed
and how he wrought the same.
3 He gathered them forth of the lands
that lay so farre about:
From East to West, from North to South
his hand did find them out.
4 They wandered in the wildernesse,
and strayed from the way:
And found no city where to dwell,
that serve might for their stay.
5 Whose thirst and hunger was so great
in these desarts so void:
That faintnesse did them so assault,
and eke soules annoid.
6 Then did they cry in their distresse
unto the Lord for aid:
Who did remove their troublous state
according as they praid.
7 And by the way which was most right
he led them like a guide:
That they might to a City go,
and there also abide.
8 Let men therefore before the Lord
confesse his kindnesse then:
And shew the wonders that he doth
before the sonnes of men.
9 For he their empty soul sustain'd
whom thirst had made to faint:
Their hungry souls with goodnesse fed,
and did them eke acquaint.
10 Such as do dwell in darknesse deep,
where they on death do wait,
Fast bound to tast such troublous stormes
as iron chaines do threat.
The second Part.
11 for that against the Lords own words
they fought so to did rebell:
Esteeming light his counsels high,
which do so farre excell.
12 But when he humbled them full low,
then they fell down with grief:
And none was found so much to help,
whereby to get relief.
13 Then they did cry in their distresse
unto the Lord for aid:
Who did remove their troublous state
according as they praid.
14 For he from darknes out them brought
and from deaths dreadfull shade:
Bursting with force the iron bands
which them before did lade:
15 Let men therefore before the Lord
confesse his kindnesse then:
And shew the wonders that the doth,
before the sonnes of men.
16 For he threw down the gates of brass
and brake them with strong hand:
The iron barres he smote in two
nothing could him withstand.
17 The foolish folk great plagues do feele
and cannot from them wend:
But heap on more to those they have,
because they do offend.
18 Their souls so much did loath all meat
that none they could abide:
Whereby death had them almost caught,
as they full truly tri'd.
19 Then did they cry in their distresse
unto the Lord for aid:
Who did remove their troublous state,
according as they praid.
20 For then he sent to them his word,
which health did soon restore:
And brought them from those dangers deep,
wherein they were before.
The third Part.
21 Let men therefore before the Lord
confesse his kindnesse then:
And shew the wonders that he doth
before the sonnes of men.
22 And let them offer sacrifice
with thanks, and also serve:
And speake of all his wondrous works
with glad and joyfull cheare.
23 Such as in ships and brittle barks
unto the seas descend:
Their merchandise through fearful flouds
to compasse and to end.
24 Those men are forced to behold
the Lords works what they be:
And in the dangerous deep the same
most marvellous they see.
25 For at his word the stormy wind
ariseth in a rage:
And stirreth up the surges so
that nought can them asswage.
26 Then they are lifted up so high
the clouds they seem to gaine:
And plunging down the depth untill
their soules consume with paine.
27 And like a drunkard to and fro
now here, now there they reel:
As men with feare of wit bereft,
and had no sense to feel.
28 Then did they cry in their distresse,
unto the Lord for aid:
Who did remove their troublous state,
according as they praid.
29 For with his word the Lord doth make
the sturdy stormes to cease:
So that the great waves from their rage,
are brought to rest and peace.
30 Then are men glad when rest is come,
which they so much did crave:
And are by him in haven brought,
which they so faine would have.
The fourth Part:
31 Let men therefore before the Lord
confesse his kindnesse then:
And shew the wonders that he doth
before the sonnes of men.
32 Let them in presence of the folk
with praise extoll his Name:
And where the Elders do convent,
there let them do the same.
33 For running flouds to drie desarts
he doth oft change and turn:
And drieth up as it were dust
the springing well and bourn.
34 A fruitfull land with pleasure deck'd
full barren does he make
When on their sinnes that dwell therein
he does just vengeance take.
35 Againe the wildernesse full rude
he maketh fruit to beare:
With pleasant springs of water cleare,
though none before were there.
36 Wherein such hungry soules are set,
as he hath freely chuse:
That they a City migh them build,
to dwell in for their use.
37 That they may sow their pleasant land
and vineyards also plant
To yield them fruits of such increase.
as none may seeme to want.
38 They multiply exceedingly,
the Lord does blesse them so:
Who doth also the bruit beasts make
in number great to grow.
39 But when the faithfull are low brought
by the oppressors stout:
And minish do through many plagues
that compasse them about.
40 Then doth he Princes bring to shame,
which did them sore oppresse:
And likewise caused them to erre
within the wildernesse.
41 But yet the poore he raiseth up
out of his troubles deep:
And oft times doth their traine augment
much like a flock of sheep.
42 The righteous shall behold this sight,
and also much rejoyce:
Whereas the wicked and perverse
with griefe shall stop their voice.
43 But who is wise? that now full well
he may these things record?
For certainly such shall perceive
the kindnesse of the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 107
Confitemini Dom.
Paratum cor

13 Through God we shall do valiant acts,
and worthy of renown:
He shall subdue our enemies.
yea he shall tread them down. Scripture: Psalm 108
Paratum cor
Deus laudem tuam
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: In speechless silence do not hold Lyrics: 1 In speechlesse silence do not hold,
O God thy tongue alwaies:
O God even thou I say that art
the God of all my praise.
2 The wicked and the guilefull mouths
on me disclosed be:
And they with false and lying tongue
have spoken unto me.
3 They did beset me round about
with words of hatefull spight:
Without all cause of my desert
against me they did fight.
4 For my good will they were my foes,
but then gan I to pray:
5 My good with ill, my friendlinesse
with hate they did repay.
6 Set thou the wicked over him,
to have the upper hand:
At his right hand eke suffer thou
his hatefull foe to stand.
7 When he is judged, let him then
condemned be therein:
And let the prayer that he makes
be turned into sin.
8 Few be his daies, his charge also
let thou another take:
9 His children let be fatherlesse,
his wife a widow make.
10 let his off-spring be vagabonds,
to beg and seek their bread:
Wandring out of the wasted place,
whee erst they have been fed.
11 Let covetous extortioners
catcj all his goods in store:
And let the stranger spoile the fruit
of all his toyle before.
12 Let there be none to pitie him
let there be none at all
That on his children fatherlesse
will let their mercy fall.
The second Part.
13 And so let his posterity
for ever be destroid:
Their name out-blotted in the age
that after shall succeed.
14 Let not his fathers wickednesse
from God's remembrance fall:
And let not thou mothers sin
be done away at all.
15 But in the presence of the Lord
let them remaine for aye:
That from the earth their memory
he may cut clean away.
16 Sith mercy he forgot to shew,
but did pursue with spight
The troubled man, and sought to slay
the woful hearted wight.
17 As he did cursing love, it shall
betide unto him so:
And as he did not blessing love,
it shall be farre him for.
18 As he with cursing clad himselfe,
so it like water shall
Into his bowels, and like oyle
into his bones befall.
19 As garment let it be to him
to cover him for aye:
And as a girdle, wherewith he
shall girded be alway.
20 Lo let the same be from the Lord
the guerdon of my foe: foe,
Yea, and of those that evill speak
against my soule also.
21 But thou, O Lord, which art my God,
deale thou (I say) with me
After thy Name, deliver me,
for great thy mercies be.
22 Because in depth of great distresse
I needy am and poore:
And eke within my pained brest
my heart is wounded sore.
The third Part:
23 Even so do l depart away,
as doth declining shade:
And as the Grasshopper, so I
am shaken off and fade.
24 With fasting long from needfull food
enfeebled are my knees:
And all her fatnesse hath my flesh
enforced been to leese.
25 And I also a vile reproach
to them am made to be:
And they that did upon me look,
did shake their heads at me.
26 But thou O Lord, that art my God,
mine aid and succour be:
According to thy mercy Lord
save and deliver me.
27 And they shall know thereby, that this
(Lord) is thy mighty hand:
And that thou, thou hast done it Lord,
so shall they understand.
28 Although they curse with spite, yet thou
shalt blesse with loving voice:
They shall arise and come to shame,
thy servant shall rejoyce.
29 Let them be clothed all with shame
that enemies are to me:
And with confusion as a cloke
eke covered let them be.
30 But greatly I will with my mouth
give thanks unto the Lord:
And I among the multitude
his praises will record.
31 For he with help at his right hand
will stand the poore man by:
To save him from the man that would
condemn his soule to die. Scripture: Psalm 109

Sit thou on my right hand:
Till I have made thy foes a stoole
whereon thy feet shall stand.
2 The Lord shall out of Sion send
the Scepter of thy might:
Amid thy mortall foes be thou
the ruler in their sight.
3 And in the day on which thy raigne
and power they shall see:
Then hereby free-will offerings shall
the people offer thee.
Yea, with an holy worshipping
then shall they offer all:
Thy births-deaw is the deaw that does
from womb of morning fall.
4 The Lord hath sworn, and never will
repent what he doth say:
By th'order of Melchisedech
thou art a Priest for aye.
5 The Lord thy God on thy right hand
that standeth for thy stay:
Shall wound for thee the stately Kings
upon his wrathfull day.
6 The heathen he shall judge and fill
the place with bodies dead:
And over divers countries shall
in sunder smite the head.
7 And he shall drink out of the brook
that runneth in the way:
Wherefore he shall lift up on high
his royall head that day.
