<poem>
How num'rous, Lord, of late are grown
The troublers of my peace;
And as their numbers hourly rise,
So doth their rage increase.
 
But thou, O Lord, art my defence,
On thee my hopes rely:
Thou art my glory, and shalt yet
Lift up my head on high.
 
Arise and save me, O my God,
Who oft hast own'd my cause;
And scatter'd oft those foes to me
And to thy righteous laws.
 
Salvation to the Lord belongs,
He only can defend:
His blessing he extends to all
That on his pow'r depend.
