A praier of the faithfull which are afflicted by the wicked worldelinges and contemners of God.

Singe this as the .xxiii. Psal.

[1]

O Lord that heuen doest possesse,

I lift mine eies to the,
Euen as the seruant lifteth his,
his maisters handes to see.

2

As handmaides watch there maistres handes,

some grace for to atchiue,
So we beholde the Lord our God,
til he do vs forgeue.

3

Lorde graunt vs thy compassion,

and mercy in thy sight:
For we be filled and ouer comen,
with hatred and despight.

4

Our mindes be stuffed with great rebuke,

the rich and worldly wise:
To make af vs their mocking stock,
the proude do vs despice.
