Dauid neither a stonied with feare, nor caryed awaye with anger, nor forsed by desperation, would kyll Saule but with a quyet mind, directed his earnest prayer vnto God who did preserue him.
Before
the lorde God with my voyce,
did I send out my crye:
And with my streamed voyce vnto,
the lorde God prayed I.
My meditation in his sight,
to poure I did not spare,
And in the presence of the Lorde.
my trouble did declare.

Although perplexed were my sprite,
my pathe was knowne to thee:
In way where I did walke a snare,
they slyly layde for me
I lookt and vewd on my ryght hand,
but none there wold me knoo:
All refuge fayled me and for,
my soule none cared thoo.

Then cryed I Lorde to thee, and sayde,
my hope thou only art:
Thou in the lande of lyuing art,
my portion and my part.
Harke to my crye for I am brought,
full low: delyuer me.
From them that doo me persecute.
for me to strong they be.

That I may prayse thy name my soule,
from prison lord bringe oute:
When thou art good to me, the iust,
shall prese me round about.
