Psal. 63. Deus, Deus meus.
Psalmus David, cùm is esset in solitudine Jehudah.
1
Thou art, O God, my God alone,mine eies shall watch to see
The Nights obscurer watchmen gone,
and early seeke for thee.
2
For thee my thirsty soule doth toile,for thee my flesh doth long:
115
and waters none among.
3
Within thy Sanctuaries seat,which now I see no more;
To see thy power and glory great,
as I have seen before.
4
For, good thy mercy is abovethe gladsome length of daies,
More lovely is than life thy love,
“My lips shall sing thy praise.
5
Thus will I blesse thee, while I live,while breath this breast commands;
And in thy Name, the off'ring give
of my up-lifted hands.
6
With marrow, and with fatnesse fed,my soule shall be full fill'd;
And from my mouth thy praises spread,
through joyfull lips distill'd.
7
Of thee my bed remembrance brings,by night I watch for thee:
8
And shout, when shadowed with thy wings,thy saving help I see.
9
To thee my Hermit-soule adheres,here, from thy House expell'd;
Where never thy right hand forbeares,
nor leaves me un-upheld.
10
But they, that make my life their prey,and for my soule contend:
Where lowest earth hath made their way,
to death let them descend.
11
A hand on them the sword shall heave,and shed their guilty blood:
The loath'd remainder they shall leave,
shall be the Foxes food.
116
12
In God, be glad, yet shall the King,and all that sweare Him by,
Shall glory, but be stopt the spring,
the lips that speake a lie.
