An other prayer out of the same Psalme.
Seeing that thy power is such, O most good and merciful God, as no enemies (although they be never so strong & mighty) are able to stand against thee, our earnest request is that thou wouldest (for thy infinite mercies sake) most puissantly arise to help us. The children of Israel ⟨image 103⟩felt thy presence to be a continual safeguard unto them, at what time they encountered to fight with their enemies, although kings and armies throughly furnished were raised up against them: forsomuch as therefore thou hast lifted up thy invincible power and puissant strength on high, disdain not (we humbly beseech thee) to turn thy loving countenance towards us, who do continually wrestle with Satan, the flesh, and lusts thereof: surely we acknowledge that thou art our sole and only defence, who fly therefore unto thee, because thou art the fountain and root of all good things, requiring, that we (being mightily delivered from the mischievous evils which environ us on every side) may set forth the worthy praises of thy most glorious name, even as it hath right well deserved, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
