English text
Attend mine humble prayer Lord,
with thine attentive eare,
even in thy truth and justice Lord,
vouchsafe my sute to heare,
And into judgement enter not,
with thy poore servant heere,
because none shalbe justified
and stand before thee cleere.
Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 143: 1-2
