Psalm, CXXIII.
The Argument.
On Whome the worlde: doth looke awrye,This psalme is fit: for there behoue:
Proude worldlye men: true man defye,
All like themselfe they only loue.
As proofe doth trye.
4. Canticum graduum.
1
To thee I lifte: mine eies on hye,To thee that dwelst: in heauen aboue
Thoughe here wt shame mē me deny,
Yet me I trust: thou wilt approue.
O Lord be nye.
2
As man and mayd: for helpe doth eye,Theyr Lords & Ladies handes to proue:
So we our eyes: bende certainly,
To God our Lord: his grace to moue.
O trustelye.
3
Haue mercy Lorde: to vs applye,Haue mercy yet: shewe vs thy loue:
For skornde we be: full bitterly,
They vs with spite: from them remoue.
O cruelly.
4
With mockes and taunts: reuilde we lye,Our soule is ful: of their reproue:
The wealthy (Lord) the proude we spye,
Be they that vs: with spite disproue.
O Lord be by.
