The .C. xxiii. Psalme of Dauid.
Nisi quia Dominus.
Except the lorde had bene with vs
now maye Israel say boldly
Excepte the lorde had ben with vs
when men rose vp agaynst vs fearsly
they had deuoured vs quyck doutlesse
& had ouerwonne vs confortles
they were so wroth at vs truly.
now maye Israel say boldly
[xxxvi]
when men rose vp agaynst vs fearsly
they had deuoured vs quyck doutlesse
& had ouerwonne vs confortles
they were so wroth at vs truly.
xxxvii
The wawes of waters had wrapped vs in
Oure soule had gone vnder the floode
The depe waters of these proude men
Had ronne oure soules ouer where they stode
The Lorde be praysed euery houre
That wolde not suffre them vs to deuoure
Nor in theyr tethe to sucke oure bloude
Oure soule had gone vnder the floode
The depe waters of these proude men
Had ronne oure soules ouer where they stode
The Lorde be praysed euery houre
That wolde not suffre them vs to deuoure
Nor in theyr tethe to sucke oure bloude
Oure soule is delyuered from theyr power
They can not haue that they haue sought
As the byrde from the snare of the fouler
So are we from theyr daungers brought
The snare is broken and we are fre
Oure helpe is in the lordes name truly
which hath made heauen and earth of nought.
They can not haue that they haue sought
