3. Importune the Lord, and direct we our supplications to our God: Lord, how long wilt thou look on? O rescue my soul from their destruction, 1my darling from the Lyons; look upon mine affliction and my tears, for I am brought very low.
14. Then press we the Lord with his promises: Lord, thou hast said, The rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the Righteous: 2Thou hast said, Yet a little while and the indignation shall cease: 3Thou hast said, In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer: O these are thy promises, Lord, make them effectual to my poor soul.
