And shall thine anger still alway as fire consume and burne? 48 O call to mind, remember then, my time consumeth fast: Why hast thou made the sonnes of men as things in vain to wast? 49 What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the hand of Hell his soule shall he deliver free? 50 Where is (O Lord) thine old goodnesse, so oft declar'd beforne, Which by thy truth and uprightnesse to David thou hast sworne? 51 The great rebukes to mind I call, that on thy servants lie: The railings of the people all, borne in my brest have I: 52 Wherewith (O Lord) thine enemies blasphemed have thy Name: The steps of thine anointed ones they cease not to defame. 53 All praise to thee, O Lord of hosts, both now and eke for aye: Through skie and earth, all all the coasts Amen, Amen, I say.
