PSALM XLIII.

Judge thou my cause, [O God!] and right mee then
Against vngodly and deceiptfull men.
O God, my strength, why sett'st Thou mee aside
And leau'st mee to my foes' oppressinge pride?
Send forth Thy light and truth and guide mee still
In the right way to Thy most holy hill.
God of my joy, before Thine Alter high,
My thankfull harte, my harpe shall justifie.
Then why art thou my soule dejected soe?
Why art thou trubled and soe full of woe?
O put thy trust in God and thankfull bee
For that sweete aide His presence giues to thee.
