Be mercifulH2603[H8798] unto me, O GodH430: for manH582 would swallow me upH7602[H8804]; he fightingH3898[H8802] dailyH3117 oppressethH3905 meH8799. |

[4]In GodH430 I will praiseH1984[H8762] his wordH1697, in GodH430 I have put my trustH982[H8804]; I will not fearH3372[H8799] what fleshH1320 can doH6213 unto meH8799. |

| [9]Mi glorie, rise thou vp; sautrie and harpe, rise thou vp; Y schal rise vp eerli. |
[9]WhenH3117 I cryH7121[H8799] unto thee, then shall mine enemiesH341[H8802] turnH7725[H8799] backH268: this I knowH3045[H8804]; for God is for meH430. |
