God

I am very sore afflicted: O Lord, quicken me according to thy word.

O Lord, I beseeche thee accept the free offerings of my mouth, and teach mee thy iudgements.

My soule is continually in mine hande: yet doe I not forget thy Lawe.

The wicked haue layed a snare for mee: but I swarued not from thy precepts.

I haue applied mine heart to fulfill thy statutes alway, euen vnto the ende.

SAMECH. I hate vaine inuentions: but thy Lawe doe I loue.

Thou art my refuge and shield, and I trust in thy worde.

Away from mee, yee wicked: for I will keepe the commandements of my God.

Stablish me according to thy promise, that I may liue, and disappoint me not of mine hope.

Stay thou mee, and I shall be safe, and I will delite continually in thy statutes.

Thou hast troden downe all them that depart from thy statutes: for their deceit is vaine.

Thou hast taken away all ye wicked of the earth like drosse: therefore I loue thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for feare of thee, and I am afraide of thy iudgements.

Answere for thy seruant in that, which is good, and let not the proude oppresse me.

Mine eyes haue failed in waiting for thy saluation, and for thy iust promise.

Deale with thy seruant according to thy mercie, and teache me thy statutes.

I am thy seruant: graunt mee therefore vnderstanding, that I may knowe thy testimonies.

It is time for thee Lord to worke: for they haue destroyed thy Lawe.

Therefore loue I thy commandements aboue golde, yea, aboue most fine golde.

Therefore I esteeme all thy precepts most iust, and hate all false wayes.

The entrance into thy wordes sheweth light, and giueth vnderstanding to the simple.

I opened my mouth and panted, because I loued thy commandements.

Looke vpon mee and bee mercifull vnto me, as thou vsest to doe vnto those that loue thy Name.

Direct my steppes in thy worde, and let none iniquitie haue dominion ouer me.

Deliuer mee from the oppression of men, and I will keepe thy precepts.
