Psal. 28. Ad te Domine.
Davidis.
1
On thee, O Lord my Rocke, I call,deafe-ceasing cease to be;
Lest downe the pit, like them that fall,
thy silence silence me.
2
The voice of my petitions heare,when for thy grace I cry:
When to thy holy Adyte neere,
I lift my hands on hie.
3
Draw mee not with the wicked sort,that worke with sinfull art,
That to their neighbours peace report,
but malice presse in heart.
4
Pay them what they to passe have brought,the evill they devis'd:
48
be their reward assiz'd.
5
Because what deeds the Lord hath done,his hand they will not heed:
Downe shall he breake them every one,
and build up no such breed.
6
Blest be the Lord, to whom I strain'dthe voice of mine un-rest:
Whose gracious eare hath entertain'd,
and heard my whole request.
7
The Lord my strength is, and my shield,my hearts, my hopes successe:
Joy to my heart, whose help doth yeeld,
him shall my song confesse.
8
The Lord with strength doth still supportthe flocke that he enfolds;
And of salvations is the Fort,
that his Annointed holds.
9
O save the people of thy flocke,blesse thine inheritance;
Feed them, and on thy favours rocke
for ever them advance.
