Psalm. CXLII
The Argument.
What Dauid thought: and how he prayd,whan feare draue hym to caue:
He here reporth: on God he stayed,
who did him strongly saue.
1
Vnto the Lord: with voyce I cryed,So nye in parell set:
Unto the Lord: my prayer hyed,
both hart and voyce were met.
2
I pourd my sute: my sore complaynt,before his face in sight:
My troublouse state: I did depaynt,
before himself in light.
407
3
What tyme my sprite: was inly pent,my life thou knewest the path:
Yet layd they snares: vext though I went,
in all my walkes in wrath.
4
On hand both right: and left I vewed,none saw I that me knew
No scape was free: none so endued,
that once my soule woulde rue.
5
O Lord than thee: I cryed vpon,and thus I sayd euer then:
Thou art my hope: and portion,
in land of lyuing men.
6
Respect my crye: for worne I goe,in cares full deepe I wayle:
Saue me fro them: which vext me so
on me they sore preuayle.
7
O bring my soule: from prison boundThy name to celebrate:
So iust men wil: me glad surround,
whan thou shalt quite my state.
