A Meditation. The cruel selfishness of sin.

p. WHY | standest thou so far off, Ö Lord : And hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble ?

2 The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poor: Let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have ïmag-in-ed.

3 For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's dësíre: And speaketh good of the covetous, whom God äbhôrreth.

4 The ungodly is so proud, that he careth not för God : Neither is God in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are alway grievous: Thy judgements are far above out of his sight, and therefore defieth he all his ên-emies.
