Psal. 5. Verba mea.
Ad Præstantem, super Nehiloth. Psalmus David.
1
Unto my words, O Lord, give eare,weigh well my wordlesse thought:
2
O let my crie, where thou maist heare,my King, my God, be brought.
3
Thou, Lord, shalt (early) heare my voice,to thee my praier shall flie:
And of the rising morne make choice
to Heaven to raise mine eie.
4
For thou art God, in wickednessethat takest no delight:
The evill shall have no accesse,
nor sojourne in thy sight.
5
Vain-glorious Fooles before thine eyestake footing never shall:
Thou hatest of iniquities
the painfull workers all.
6
The lying tongue shalt thou defeatwith utter overthrow:
The man of blouds, and pale deceit,
the Lord abhorres to know.
7
But in thy mercies much regard,thy house will I draw neere;
And to thy holy Temple-ward,
doe worship in thy feare.
8
Lord, lead me in thy justice right:and, lest I step astray,
Because of my maligners, straight
before me make thy way.
9
For in his mouth, no truth sincere,their inwards, deeps of woe:
Their throat, an open sepulchre;
7
10
Judge them, O God, and let their fall,their guilty counsells tell:
Rout them with their transgressions all,
against thee that rebell.
11
So shall they (aye) that trust in thee,shout all with joyfull voice;
And thy Names-lovers, they that be,
for covering them, rejoyce.
12
For thou, O Lord, thy blessing downeupon the Just shalt yeeld;
And with thy gracious favour crowne
his head, as with a shield.
