[V.] O Lord how long wilt thou
PSALME. 13.
O Lord, how long wilt thou forget,to send mee some relife?
For euer wilt thou hide thy face,
and so increase my griefe?
How long shall I with vexed heart,
seeke counsell in my spirit?
How long shall my malicious foes,
triumph and me despit?
O Lord my God, heare my complaint,
vttered with wofull breath:
Lighten mine eyes, defend my life,
that I sleepe not in death.
Least that mine enemie say I haue,
against him loe preuayl'd:
At my downe fall they will reioyce,
that thus haue me assayl'd.
But in thy mercie Lord I trust,
for that shall mee defend:
My heart doth ioye, to see the help,
which thou to mee wilt send.
Vnto the Lord therefore I sing,
and doe lift vp my voyce:
And for his goodnesse shew'd to mee,
I will alwaie reioyce.
FINIS.
