DEUS, IN NOMINE.

1 Save me, O | God, • for thy | Name's sake ||
and a- | venge me | in thy | strength. ||
2 Hear my | prayer, O | God ||
and | hearken • unto the | words of my | mouth. ||
3 For strangers are risen | up a- | gainst me ||
and tyrants, which have not God before their | eyes, seek | after my | soul. ||
4 Behold, | God • is my | helper ||
the Lord is with | them • that up- | hold my | soul. ||
5 He shall reward | evil • unto mine | ene•mies ||
de- | stroy thou | them in thy | truth. ||
6 An offering of a free | heart • will I | give thee, ||
and praise thy Name, O | Lord, be- | cause it • is so | comfort•able. ||

7 For he hath delivered me out of | all my | trouble ||
and mine eye hath seen his de- | sire up- | on mine | ene•mies. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
