Psal. 3.

[_]

As the 113. Psalme; Ye Children which, &c.

1

Ah Lord! how many be my foes!

How many are against me rose,

2

That to my grieued soule haue sed,

Tush: God shall him no succour yield;

3

whiles thou Lord art my praise, my shield

And dost aduance my carefull head.

4

Loud with my voice to God I cri'd:

His grace vnto my sute reply'd,
From out his Sions holy hill.


5

I layd me downe, slept, rose againe.

For thou O Lord dost me sustaine,
And sav'st my soule from feared ill.

6

Not if ten thousand armed foes

My naked side should round enclose,
Would I be thereof ought a-dred.
Up Lord and shield me from disgrace:

7

For thou hast broke my foe-mens face,

And all the wickeds teeth hast shed.

8

From thee O God is safe defence;

Do thou thy free beneficence
Vpon thy people largely spred.
