1 O Lord my God, in thee I trust, [Me] from [my] persecutors save;
2 Deliver me, lest they me tear Like Lions, and [there's] none [to] save.
3 Lord▪ if this ill deed I have done, [And] guilty [be] of wickedness;
4 If I with hurt did him reward, Who lived by me in [quiet] peace, (Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I have [Used] kindly [and] delivered those Who now are causelessly become My [cruel] persecuting foes.)
