Psalme. CXIX
A Preface to the Psalme. 119.
Made is this Psalme: by Alphabete: in Octonaries folde,All letters two: and twentie set: as Hebrues them haue tolde.
The verses all: an hundred bee: threescore and iust sixtene,
Thus framde and knit: for memorie: and elegance some wene.
Here letters all: so sortely bound: do shew in mysterie:
Eternall health: may sure be found: in scripture totallie.
Uerse yokt by eight: Christes rising day: doth figure them in some,
Sweete Saboth rest: not here I say: I meane of world to come.
Peruse this psalme: so wide and brode: eche verse saue one is freight
As still in termes: of law of God: most ofte by voyces eyght.
Right statutes, olde precepts, decrees: cōmaundemēts, word, & law.
Known iudgemēts, domes, & witnesses: al rightous wais thei draw
Enuie no man: Gods worde to painte: in arte by such deuise,
Reade Hebrue tonge: the tong so sainte: and causeles be not nise.
Upfolde be here: Gods truthes discust: right sure vs all to teache,
So lies of man: all low be thrust: full false in glosing speache.
343
The Argument.
This Psalme dewrayth: good mens desire,Gods law to know so milde:
Which Dauid prayth: whom men in ire,
Did curse, from home exilde.
Aleph. 1.
1
A rightvp man: of perfect wayes: is blest and blest agayne,As blest be they which walke their dayes: in gods true law so playne.
2
And yet I speake: so blest they be: who kepe his witnesses,All whole in hart: which will agree: to search Gods promises.
3
Admit they do: no sinfulnes: who walke his pathes alwayes,At wil who worke: but wickednes: they tread not these his wayes.
4
Aduisedly: thou gauest in charge: thy hests that we should kepe,Approued so: by thee at large: for vs most due to leke.
5
Ah then O lord: where yu wilt so: would God my wayes were steydAffected right: in hart to go: thy statutes iustly leyd.
6
Ashamed then: I shall not shrinke: in hart or visage cold,Abacke to stand: what tyme I thinke: thy lawes and them behold.
7
Ascribe will I: to thee my thanke: in hart most right and clene:Assoone as I: shall learne so franke: thy iudgements iust besene.
8
Agayne I vow: withall my hart: to kepe thy true decrees:A far then Lord: do not depart: from me thy grace to leese.
344
Beth. 2. In quo corigit.
1
By what or how: can yong man clense: or yet reforme his way,Best, word of thyne: if he the sence: will warely kepe I saye.
2
Betymes where I thy word haue sought: with all my harts ententBe guyde, lest I: might erre in thought: from thy commaundemēt.
3
By lowe I hyd: thy word in hart: thy willes inspird to kepe,Blasphemingly: lest might I start: from thee in sinne to deepe.
4
Both blest and praysed: thou doost remayne: O lord of secrecye,Bestryde my hart: and teach my brayne: thy statutes inwardly.
5
Bold haue I bene: and euer shall: by thee with tong to tell,Before all men: thy iudgements all: which once thou spakst so well.
6
Blith whole my hart: did ioye to trace: thy testimonyes wayes,Beholding them: more glad in face: than riches gaynfull prayse,
7
Bestowe I will: my tyme and talke: in thy precepts to muse,Beside to note: thy wondrous walke: no tyme I will refuse.
8
Besport me still: I purpose me: in thy decrees whole set,Beleue I haue: thy wordes decree: no tyme I shall forget.
345
Ghimel. 3. Retribue.

3
Cast here on earth: as Pilgrimes be: I am poore traueler,Conceale not Lord: thy law from me: depart not thou to fer.
4
Consume do I: afflict in sprite: for loue to know thy worde,Comprise I would: alwayes aright: thy iudgements hye O Lorde.
5
Correct thou doost: the proud therfore: which thy precepts despise,Curst be they all: from thy good lore: who wander wyll to nyse.
6
Contempt and shame: frō me remoue: which proud men cast on meContent for that: in lyfe I loue: thy lawes to testifie.
7
Chiefe Princes lo: in counsell sate: and me they hie controld:Chaunge yet my choyce: so would I not: I vsed thy statutes bold.
8
Cause why, to me: thy witnesses: are whole my hartes delites,Close counsellers: they be no lesse: agaynst these cursed wyghtes,

Yeld still I will: O life prolonge: my soule shall prayse thee then:Yane shall I wide: for ayde among: for thou dost ayde all men.
8
Youth made me erre: as sheepe but lost: seeke vp thy seruant Lord:Yes seeke him Lord: bestow the cost: thy law me not abhord.
