Psal. 11. In Domino.
Ad Præstantem, Davidis.
1
My trust doth on the Lord relie,how say ye to my soule,
Soule, to thy mountaines safetie flie,
as swift as feathred fowle?
2
For loe, the wicked bend their bow,on string their arrow fit,
A shoot in darknesse to bestow,
the upright heart to hit.
3
When wicked plots are over-past,that stedfast ground have none:
When their foundations downe are cast,
the just, what hath he done?
4
The Lord from holy place above,the Lord from Heav'n his Throne,
17
how Adams sonnes have gone.
5
The just and wicked ones estatethe Lord will prove and trie:
6
But selfe hate foules his soule doth hate,that love malignitie.
7
Upon the wicked will he showresnares, fire, and brimstone downe:
And breath of burning tempest powre,
their cup this lot shall crowne.
8
For just the Lord, and just designesare lovely in his sight;
His face discerns, and right defines
of men and meanes upright.
