Thomas Ravenscroft - O Lord, how are my foes increased - текст песни (слова)

O Lord how are my foes increast,
 which vexe me more and more!
 they kill my heart, when as they say,
 God can him not restore.
 
 But thou O Lord art my defence,
 when I am hard bested,
 my worship and mine honour both, 
 and thou holdst vp my head.
 
 Then with my voice vnto the Lord
 I did both call and cry:
 And he out of his holy hill
 did heare me by and by.
 
 I laid me downe and quietly
 I slept and rose againe:
 For why? I know assuredly,
 the Lord wil me sustaine.
 
 If ten thousand had hem'd me in,
 I could not be afraid:
 For thou art still my Lord my God,
 my Sauiour and my aid.
 
 Rise vp therefore, saue me my God,
 for now to thee I call:
 For thou hast broke the cheekes & teeth
 of these wicked men all.
 
 Saluation only doth belong
 to thee O Lord aboue:
 Thou dost bestow vpon thy folke
 thy blessing and thy loue.
