Help, Lord, because the godly man doth daily fade away; And from among the sons of men the faithful do decay.
Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not; Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.
Save me, O God, by thy great name, and judge me by thy strength:
Return, O Lord, my soul set free; O save me, for thy mercies' sake.
Arise, O Lord; save me, my God; for thou my foes hast stroke All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth of wicked men hast broke.
