Psal. xiii.
Hou long ô lorde uill thou forgett me ay
hou long thus uill thou hyde thy face from me
hou long uith thochtis my mynde shall trubled be
my hairt uith sorrou uexit all the day
quhen shall my foe to ryse against me stay
my godd iehoua looke & heare me to
& cleare my feible eyes I humlie pray
least ellis â deadlie sleiping sleip I do.

that thus my ennemie do not say in pryde
I uainquisht haue & ouercum him quyte
& that my foes reioice not uith delyte
if that I once be maid to fall or slyde
but in thy fauoure great I do confyde
my soule reioice mott in thy sauing grace
to iehoua shall I sing all tyme & tyde
that he hes done me goode in euerie cace.
