O God give eare & do apply,
to heare me when I pray:
and when to thee I call & cry,
hide not thy self away,
Take heed to me, grant my request,
& answer me againe:
With plaints I pray full sore opprest,
great griefe doth me constraine.
Because my foes with threats & cries,
oppresse me through despite:
and so the wicked sort likewise,
to vexe me have delight.
For they in counsel do conspire,
to charge me with some ill,
So in their hasty wrath and ire,
they doe pursue mee still.
