1

In straits the Lord thee heare; the name
Of Jacob's God most high

2

Defend thee; furnisch thee with aide,
Sent from the sanctuarie;
85

From Sion may hee the sustain,

3

And all thy offrings minde;
With him may thy brunt sacrifice,
(Consum'd), acceptance fynde.

4

Thy hart's desirs all may hee grant;
Thy counsells all fullfill,

5

In thy salvation rejoyce,
Our banners spread wee will
In name of God, our God. The Lord
Fulfill all thow canst crave.

6

The high Jehovah, wel I know,
Doth his anointed save.
He from his heaven of holinesse
To him give hearing will,
By strength of the salvation
Found in his right hand still.

7

In chariots some, some putt their trust
In horses; but wee flie
Vnto the Lord: Our God's great name
Alone remember wee.

8

They, foyld, ar fallen, risen wee

9

Do stand. To save draw neare,
O Lord; when as wee call, the King
Let to our sutes give eare.
