16 ETERNAL God, Hear me, for good ‖ is thy Benignity; ‖ Oh, in the multitude of thy ‖ compassions turn to me. ‖
17 And from thy Servant, O do not ‖ Thou hide thy face away; ‖ for that sore trouble on me lies; ‖ O haste, O hear thou me. ‖
18 O draw near to my Soul; for it ‖ do the Redeemer's part; ‖ Because I have such enemies, ‖ redeem me from them all. ‖
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and what ‖ a shame they cast on me; ‖ And my dishonour; in thy view ‖ are all my enemies. ‖
