The .cxl. Psalme.
Lorde
set me free from the man that to wyckednes is bent:
And preserue thy seruant from the man that is violent.
And preserue thy seruant from the man that is violent.
And from such men as Imagyne, all myschiefe in theyr herte:
And do dayly renne togither in wars to play theyr parte.
And do dayly renne togither in wars to play theyr parte.
And from all such as whett theyr tonges, as doeth the serpent fell:
And haue lyke poyson in theyr lyppes as the adder cruell.
And haue lyke poyson in theyr lyppes as the adder cruell.
Lord kepe me out of the powre of him that is vngodly:
And saue me from the violēt, for these would me destroye.
And saue me from the violēt, for these would me destroye.
For the proude men haue secretlye, layed snares and cordes for me:
So haue they stretched out theyre nettes & snares where my wayes be.
So haue they stretched out theyre nettes & snares where my wayes be.
And thus haue I sayde to the Lorde, thou arte my God I saye:
O Lord receyue thou wyth thyne eares, my voyce when I do pray.
O Lorde, Lorde, thou arte al the strength that muste be my succoure:
Thou doest defende myne heade frō strypes, when I muste take armoure.
Thou doest defende myne heade frō strypes, when I muste take armoure.
Lord, make thou not the wycked man, his desyres to optayne:
Ne prospere thou his diligence, in victorie to reigne.
Ne prospere thou his diligence, in victorie to reigne.
Let the mischiefe that wyth theyr lyppes they haue builded, as well:
Lyght on the reste, as on the heade, of them that do me quell.
Lyght on the reste, as on the heade, of them that do me quell.
Let burnynge coles be caste on them, let them lacke for no payne:
Let God sone caste them downe wyth fyre, leste they should ryse agayne.
Let God sone caste them downe wyth fyre, leste they should ryse agayne.
Oh let the man that hath muche talke, haue no sure dwellynge place:
And let euell huntte the violent, tyll he falle on hys face.
And let euell huntte the violent, tyll he falle on hys face.
I knowe, that in the abiectes cause, the Lorde wyll do iudgment:
And wyll reuenge theyr cause that be, boeth pore and impotent.
And wyll reuenge theyr cause that be, boeth pore and impotent.
Certes the iuste men wylt confesse, and acknowledge thy name
And the good men shall styll abyde, in thy syght wythout blame.
And the good men shall styll abyde, in thy syght wythout blame.
