[How that the ryghteous man]

Deus in nomine tuo saluū. Psal. liii.

How that the ryghteous man
for helpe to god doeth call
And how that he incontynente
had his desyres all.
For helpe I call to the o god
because that I haue nede
For thy names sake and in thy strength
delyuer me wt spede
Heare my prayer my god my kynge
whan I to the shall praye
Consyder wel the wordes of me
that I to the wyll saye
The straungers & the myghteones
agaynst me doth surreckt
Whyche haue not god before theyr eyes
my soule they wold in feckt
But lo, god is my helpe at nede,
yea, onely it is he


That doth vphold my soule in dede
from theyr iniquitie
And euyl shal the lorde rewarde
vnto myne enemyes
And in thy truth thou shalt destroy
them that do thee despyse
I wyl offer to the o lorde
and geue thy name the prayse
O lord because thou comfortest me
and helpest me alwayes
For thou Lorde haste delyuered me
from al myne agonyse
So that mine eyes seyth hys desyre
vpon myne enemyes.
