Second PART

Cast me not off, now, in the Time, Old Age doth me assail; O do not thou forsake me, Lord, When Strength, and Vigour, fail. For my malicious Enemies Against me falsly speak; And they, who for my Life lay wait, Together Counsel take. "Now God, (say they,) has him forsook, "Pursue, and on him seize; "There's none to save him from our Pow'r, "He'll fall our Prey with Ease. But thou, O God, be not far off From me, oppress'd with Grief; O thou, my God, with timely Speed, Appear for my Relief. Confound, and bring to Nought, my Foes, Who, for my Life, combine; Reproach, and Infamy, be heap'd, On those my Hurt design. My stedfast Hope shall still remain, On Thee, fix'd all my Days; To spread thy Glory, more and more, I'll add new Songs of Praise. Thy Truth, and thy Salvation, Lord, My Mouth shall daily show; Whose growing Numbers far surmount The utmost I can know. Depending on thy Strength, O God, I'll chearfully go on; Thy Righteousness I'll celebrate, I'll mention thine alone.
