Psalm 54

Lord, for thy Promise sake defend,
And Thy All-saving Shield extend:
O heare my cries,
Which with wet Eyes
And sighs to Thee ascend!

For cruell men my life pursue;
And who thy Statutes never knew.
Suppresse my Foes:
O side with those,
Who to my Soule are true!

With vengeance recompense their hate;
And in an instant ruinate.
Then will I bring
My Offering,
And Thy great Acts relate.

Thy Name for ever praised be;
Who from those snares hast set me free:
For loe, these eyes
My Enemies
Desir'd subversion see.
