An other prayer out of the same psalme.
WE are continually tossed with so many grievous storms of adversities (O almighty God) as it behoveth us to have access and recourse unto thy mercy only, that we be not overwhelmed under them. But now we know for a certainty, that mans power can do nothing touching their overthrow whom thou hast appointed to salvation. Forsomuch as therefore we see them fed with a false and deceitful hope which have any confidence in men, we judge this to be a singular point of wisdom of the godly, to trust hereafter in no mortal creature, but to repose their whole affiance in thee alone. For which cause, we humbly beseech thy divine Majesty (O excellent father) that, although thou art sometime angry, and, by reason of our heinous sins, doest worthily chastise and subdue our stubbornness, yet let us not fall utterly away from thee, which thing shall verily come to pass, if thou wilt build us ⟨image 191⟩upon that most firm corner stone, who as he was laid aside and disallowed of men, so is he advanced by thee to the chiefest top and pillar of glory, through our Lord Jesus Christ thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee evermore world without end. Amen.
