Psal. 4.
Thou
witnesse of my truth sincere,
My God vnto my poore request
Uouch-saue to lend thy gracious eare:
Thou hast my soule from thral releast.
My God vnto my poore request
Uouch-saue to lend thy gracious eare:
Thou hast my soule from thral releast.
Fauour me still, and daigne to heare
Mine humble sute. O wretched wights,
How long will yee mine honour deare
Turn into shame through your despites?
Mine humble sute. O wretched wights,
How long will yee mine honour deare
Turn into shame through your despites?
Still will ye loue what thing is vaine,
And seek false hopes? know thē at last,
That God hath chose & will maintain
His fauorite, whom ye disgrac't.
And seek false hopes? know thē at last,
That God hath chose & will maintain
His fauorite, whom ye disgrac't.
God will regard mine instant mone.
Oh! tremble then, and cease offending;
And, on your silent bed alone,
Talk with your harts, your waies amending.
Oh! tremble then, and cease offending;
And, on your silent bed alone,
Talk with your harts, your waies amending.
Offer the truest sacrifice
Of broken hearts; on God besetting
Your only trust. The most deuise
The waies of worldly treasure getting:
Of broken hearts; on God besetting
Your only trust. The most deuise
The waies of worldly treasure getting:
But thou, O Lord, lift vp to mee
The light of that sweet lookes of thine;
So shall my soule more gladsome be,
Then theirs with al their corn & wine.
The light of that sweet lookes of thine;
Then theirs with al their corn & wine.
