XXV.

1

To thee my soule, O Lord,
2
I lift. My God, in thee
I trust; me save from schame, my foes
Let not triumph or' me.

3

Yea, none let be asham'd
That wait on thee: Be they
Asham'd who fruitlesslie offend,
And falslie fall away.

4

Schew me thy wayes, O Lord,
Thy paths to me mak playne;

5

Let in thy treuth, and to be taught
Of thee, lett me obtaine.
For thow alone the God
Of my Salvation art;
On thee (wnwearied), all the day,
I wait with patient hart.
93

6

Thy tender bowells, Lord,
Thy mercyes manifold,
Call to remembrance, for they have
For ever been of old.

7

Passe by my sins of youth,
Voide my transgressions make;
After thy mercie minde thow me,
(Lord), for thy goodnes' sake.

8

The Lord, most kinde and just,
Will sinners teach which stray.

9

The meek in judgement hee will guyd,
Evin teach the meek his way.

10

His paths all mercie are,
And treuth, to all yat keeps
His covenant, and hide in heart
His testimonies deep.

11

The, for thine oune names sake,
O Lord, I do entreate,
O pardoun my iniquitie,
For it is hudgly great.

12

What man is hee that fears
The Lord? Him in the way
That hee sall chuise the Lord sall teach;

13

At ease his soule sall stay.
His seed inherite shall

14

The earth. To them that fear
The Lord, disclosd his counsell is;
His covenant made clear.

15

At all times will I keep
Wpon the Lord a constant eye;
For from the nett, by him my feet
Sett free, escape shall I.
94

16

Turne, (Lord), thy face and me
Thy mercie's object mak,
For desolate and sore distresst,
Me to thy grace I tak.

17

The troubles of my hart,
Still greater on me grow;
To me, when in my straits I sticke,
A gracious outgate thow.

18

Lett my affliction, (Lord),
My payne compassion move;
Beheld by thee, do all my sins
Farre from thy sight remove.

19

Look on my foes, for they
Are manie, full of spight

20

Their hatred is. Preserve my soule,
O save me by thy might.
Lett me not be ashamd,
Becaus my trust's in thee.

21

Integrity and vprightnesse
Let my preservers be.
For on thee do I wayt.

22

Good in thy sight let seeme,
Out of his troubles all, (O Lord),
Thy Israel to redeeme.
