Psalm 54 (Deus, in nomine)

Lord, let thy name my saving succour bee,
Defend my wronged cause by thy just might:
Lord, let my crieng voice be heard of thee,
Lett not my heavie words be counted light,
For strangers I against me risen see,
Who hunt me hard, and sore my soul affright:
Possest with feare of God in no degree.
But God, thou art my helper in my right,
Thou succour send'st to such as succour me;
Then pay them home, who thus against me fight,
And let thy truth cut downe their treachery.
Soe I with offrings shall thy Altars dight,
Praising thy name which thus hast sett me free:
Giving me scope to soare with happie flight
Above my evills, and on my enemy,
Making me see what I to see delight.
