Psalme. IIII.
The Argument.
The church in stressFor heauinesse
complaynth to God full sore.
The good haue ease
Of their disease
they sacrifice therfore.
1
O God so hie: heare when I crie,my right is all in thee:
Thou takest me fro: al troublous wo
haue mercy heare thou mee.
2
Ye sonnes of men: how long agayne,will ye blaspheme my name?
Why triumphe ye: in vanitie?
why seeke ye lies to frame?
7
3
Know this ye foes: that God hath chose,himselfe all godly men:
And when I call: this Lord of all,
he straight will heare me then.
4
Of wrathfull ire: refraine the fire,sinne not but muse in hart:
Upon your beds: keepe still your heds,
deathes day recount in part.
5
Looke ye arise: in sacrifice,of righteousnes in skill:
And put your trust: in God so iust,
but tame your fleshly will.
6
There many bee: that say, O see,who good to vs can do?
Lift vp thy face: of cherefull grace,
on vs O Lord to go.
7
Thou chearst my hart: as God thou art,with ioye of thy good sprite:
Since corne and wine: with oyle so fine,
of theirs increast in sight.
8
I will me lay: in peace I say,my sleepe to take full well:
I hope for thou: O Lord as now,
makst me most safe to dwell.
