1
To thee I call, hast wnto me,Lord, to my voyce give eare.
2
When I with cryes befor thee come,My prayr let apeare.
218
My hands lift'd wp on high,
Let as the evining sacrifice
Acceptance fynd with thee.
3
Set thow a watch befor my mouth,O Lord, my lipps preserve;
4
Their passage guard. Let not my hartTo any evill swerve.
To practise wickednes with these
Who worke iniquity,
Or long ther delicats to taste,
Let me not taken be.
5
Me let the righteouse smytt, from loveSo his reprooffe proceid;
This will I hold a soveraine balme,
Which shall not breke my heid;
For in their evills (yet) I'le pray.
6
Ther judges reull who beare,In stony pairts thrown doun, my words
(Which sweet ar) then shall heare.
7
Evin as when one doth tim̄ber cutt,Or cleave wpon the ground,
About the graves mouth (heir and their),
Or bones ar scattred found.
8
Bot on thee, O my God and Lord,Myne eyes I fixed have;
In the my trust is; destitute
My soule, O doe not leave.
9
From trains laid for me, from their snairesThat work iniquity
10
Me save. The wickeds' netts themselvsLet fange, whil I passe free.
