Hast broke the teeth. This help was from the Lord;  
Thy blessing on thy people flows.  
PSAL. IV. Aug. 10.1653.  
ANSWER me when I call  
God of my righteousness;  
In straights and in distress  
Thou didst me disinthrall  
And set at large; now spare,  
Now pity me, and hear my earnest prai'r.  
Great ones how long will ye  
My glory have in scorn  
How long be thus forlorn  
Still to love vanity,  
10  
To love, to seek, to prize  
Things false and vain and nothing else but lies?  
Yet know the Lord hath chose  
Chose to himself a part  
The good and meek of heart
