An other prayer out of the same Psalme.

They which suffer the prolonging of thy favourable help (O most mighty God) with right & patient minds, do at length well perceive and assuredly feel that thou hearest their fervent prayers: and when in good earnest they find themselves to be delivered, do not only celebrate thy glorious name with due praises, but give a sufficient example to other godly men for to do the like.

But in the meane season, what soeuer we haue done dishonestly or after a wicked maner agaynst thee, according to thy louing mercye and excellent goodnesse forgiue it vs, neyther suffer those gréeuous punishments and wofull calamities to ouerwhelme vs, which our sinnes haue iustly deserued.
