Psalme. XI.
The Argument.
Here hast thou proofeHow it behoueth
strong fayth in stormes to stand:
Agaynst the trayne
Of errours vayne
of all the diuelishe band.
1
In Lord so great: my hope is set,why than my soule bid ye?
That she should hast: as bird agast,
to hils that desert be?
2
The wycked loe: haue bent theyr bowe,theyr shaftes in quiuer thrust:
To shoote from hye: all priuelye,
at men of hart so iust.
23
3
If earth the ground: tournd vpside downe,though heauen and earth should fall:
The iust in woe: what should he do?
but sticke to God in all.
4
The Lord is yet: in temple set,in heauen the Lord hath place:
The poore he spyeth: as thence he trieth,
mens childerns walkes and pase.
5
The Lord alowth: and iust auowth,the rightwise man full well:
His soule defieth: whose hart applieth,
in wickednes to dwell.
6
Downe he shall rayne: to theyr great payne,vpon th'ungodlies hart:
Snare, brymstone, fyre: wyth tempestes ire,
these stormes, theyr cup in part.
7
For as the Lorde: is iust in worde,so loueth he sothfastnes:
Hys ryghtfull eye: will pleasauntly,
behold all righteousnes.
