The .xi. Psalme.
In
the Lorde haue I put my truste, how to my soule saye ye:
Oute of youre mount euen as the byrd, se that thou awaye flee?
Oute of youre mount euen as the byrd, se that thou awaye flee?
For lo, the wycked bent their bowe, and set their shaftes therin:
That in the darcke they myght shote them, that in herte do not synne.
That in the darcke they myght shote them, that in herte do not synne.
Seynge the nettes be broke therfore, and the lawes set at nought:
What coulde the iust man do therin, though he toke care and thought?
What coulde the iust man do therin, though he toke care and thought?
But the Lorde in his holy place hath hys throne in heauen:
His eyes beholde, and his eye leddes do serch the sonnes of men.
His eyes beholde, and his eye leddes do serch the sonnes of men.
The Lorde alloweth the iuste man, but he hateth deadly:
The wycked, and suche as do loue force and iniquitie.
The wycked, and suche as do loue force and iniquitie.
Upon the wycked he wyll rayne snares, fyre and brymstone:
And eke a stormye burninge wynde, thys is their lotte eche one.
And eke a stormye burninge wynde, thys is their lotte eche one.
Because the Lorde him selfe is iuste, he loueth ryghteousnes:
And with hys countenaunce he wyl loke vpon the gitles.
And with hys countenaunce he wyl loke vpon the gitles.
