Verba mea auribus percipe.
Psal. v.
Th. Stern.
Dauid hauing suffered greate calamitie, as well by Doeg and Achitophell
Sauls flaterers, as by other infinit enemies, calleth to
God for succor, shewing howe requisite it is, That god shuld punish
the malicious enuye of hys aduersaryes. After beyng assured of prosperous
successe, he conceiueth comforte: concluding, that when God
shall deliuer him, other also shall be partakers of the same mercyes.

Sing this as the thirde Psalme.
Inclyne
thyne eares vnto my wordes,
O Lorde my playnt consider.
And heare my voyce my kyng my God,
to thee I make my prayer.
Heare me betime, Lorde, tary not,
for I will haue respect,
My prayer early in the morne,
to thee for to direct.
And I will trust through patience,
in thee my God alone:
That art not pleasd with wickednes,
and ill with thee dwelleth none.
The wicked can not escape Gods punishment, who wil
iudge all the worlde.
And in thy sight shall neuer stande.
these furious fooles, O Lorde:
Uaine workers of iniquitie,
Thou hast alwayes abhorde,
The liers and the flatterers,
thou shalt destroy them then:
And God will hate the bloud thirstye,
and the deceitfull man.
In the depest of his tēptations he putteth hys full confydence
in God.
Therfore will I come to thy house,
trusting vpon thy grace:
And reuerently will worship thee,
toward thine holy place.
Lorde leade me in thy rightuousnes,
for to confounde my foes:
And eke the way that I shall walke,
before my face disclose,
For in their mouthes there is no truth,
theyr hart is foule and vayne:
Their throte an open sepulchre,
their tonges doo glose and fayne,
Destroy their false conspiracies,
that they may come to nought:
Subuert them in theyr heapes of sinne,
which haue rebellion wrought.
But those that put theyr trust in thee,
let them be glad alwayes:
And render thankes for thy defence,
and geue thy name the prayse.
For thou with fauour wilt increase,
the iust and righteous still:
And with thy grace as with a shilde,
defend him from all ill.
Heb that will crowne hym.
