God of my righteousnes, to theeWhen I my suit doe send,
Doe not withdraw thyne eare from me,
Bot to my cry attend.
When in distresse, perplex'd I pind,
Thow didst enlarge me (Lord);
O lett me now thy favour find,
To my requeist accord.
2
Why stryve yee still (men's sonns) to staineMy glory with disgrace?
How long will yee (in what is vaine
Delighting) lyes embrace?
3
Know for him selff the Lord hath settThe Godlie man apart.
I certainlie will hearing gett,
When I my sins impart.
4
Submitt and tremble, goe not onTo sin, in anie case;
Talk with your hearts apart, vpon
Yor beds, and be at peace.
5
The sacrifice of righteousnesLett your oblation be,
And place your trust wt stedfastnes
On God allennerly.
6
Whence anie good (by many thusIs murmured) shall wee have?
Lord lift thow vp thy light on ws,
Thy countenance wee crave.
7
My heart more cheirfull hast thow made,Then when of corne and wyne
A plenteous increase them maks glad;
Thair joy is not lyk mine.

In peace I'le both ly doun and sleep,For thow, thow only (Lord),
For me to duell midst dangers deep,
In saiftie dost afford.
