The .v. Psalme.
Lord
marcke my wordes and vnderstand, all my styl whisperynge:
Heare me, for I wil pray to the that arte my God and kynge.
Heare me, for I wil pray to the that arte my God and kynge.
Lorde thou wilt heare my voyce by tyme, and I will me applye:
Unto the earlye in the morne, and loke on the onlye.
Unto the earlye in the morne, and loke on the onlye.
For thou art not the God that doeth in wyckednes delyght:
Neyther shal anye wycked thynge remayne wythin thy syght.
Neyther shal anye wycked thynge remayne wythin thy syght.
The rageynge foles shal not consiste and stande before thyne eyes:
For thou hast hated all suche men, as worcke iniquities.
For thou hast hated all suche men, as worcke iniquities.
Suche as speake lyes thou shalt destroy, for the Lorde doeth withstande:
The man that shedeth bloude, and that taketh disceyte in hande.
The man that shedeth bloude, and that taketh disceyte in hande.
But I wylcome into thyne house trusting vpon thy grace:
And in thy feare wyll honoure the euen at thyne holy place.
And in thy feare wyll honoure the euen at thyne holy place.
Lorde leade me forth in thy iustice for feare of myne enmies:
And thyne owne waye defende thou Lorde before thy seruauntes eyes.
And thyne owne waye defende thou Lorde before thy seruauntes eyes.
For in their mouth ther is no truth, their inwardes are but dounge:
Their throte is like an open graue, they flatter wyth their tonge.
Their throte is like an open graue, they flatter wyth their tonge.
Proue them giltye (O God) and let them falle from their counselles:
For their greate synnes dryue them awaye, for they haue bene rebelles.
For their greate synnes dryue them awaye, for they haue bene rebelles.
And let suche as do truste in the, synge & reioyce alwaye:
Let suche as loue thy name reioyce in thy defence I saye.
Let suche as loue thy name reioyce in thy defence I saye.
For thou (O Lorde) doest blesse the iuste & geue hym good thynges styll:
And as a speare thy goodnes doeth enclose hym from all ylle.
And as a speare thy goodnes doeth enclose hym from all ylle.
