THEE THIRD PSALME, NAMED, Domine, quid multiplicati sunt, translated in too English Asclepiad verse.

1

Lord , my drirye foes why doe (they) multiplye?

Mee for too ruin at sundrye be coouetous.

2

Hym shields not the godhead, sundrye say too mye soule.

3

Th' art, lord most vigilant, wholye mye succorer,

And in the al mye staying shal be stil harbored:
Tw' art my moste valiant victorye glorious.

4

To our lord lowd I cryed: from holye place herd he mee.

5

In graue new buryed fast haue I slumbered.

J rose too liefe agayn through God his hollines.

6

J feare not furious multitud infinit,

With coompasse laboring, my bodye for toe catche.
Rise Lord omnipotent, help me, mye champion.

7

Lord, thy cleere radiaunt righteus equitye

Hath squisd al mye foes, falslye me ransaking.

8

Oure Lord participats saulftye with happines:

With gifts, heunlye Godhead, thy pepil amplye blisse.
