Who trust in thee, O let not shame deject! Thou ever just, my chased soule secure: Lord lend a willing eare, with speede protect; Be thou my rock; with thy strong arme immure. My rock, my fortresse, for thy honour aid, And my engaged feet from danger guide, Pull from their subtile snares in secret laid, O thou, my only strength, so often try’d. O let thy face upon thy servant shine; Save for thy mercies sake, from shame defend. Shame cover those who keepe no lawes of thine, And undeplored to the grave descend!
