God

Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.

Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.

I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.

Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.

Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,

Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,

From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.

But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.

The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.

I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.

But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.

Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.

Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.

He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.

And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.

He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.

At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.

The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.

Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.

And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.

He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.

They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.

Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
