This thou seist, for thou considrest the mysery and sorowe: The poore geueth himselff ouer in to thy hande, and committeth him vnto the, for thou art the helper of the frendlesse.

The LORDE is kynge for euer, ye Heithen shal perish out off his londe.

For lo, the vngodly haue bet their bowe, and made redy their arowes in the quyuer: that they maye priuely shute at them, which are true of herte.

For the LORDE is rightuous, ad he loueth rightuousnes, his countenaunce beholdeth the thige yt is iust.

Helpe LORDE, for there is not one saynte more: very fewe faithfull are there amonge the children off men.

Now for the troubles sake off the oppressed, & because of the complaynte of the poore, I wil vp (sayeth the LORDE) I wil helpe the, and set the at rest.

Kepe the therfore (o LORDE) and preserue vs fro this generacion for euer.

How longe wilt thou forget me, o LORDE? for euer? how longe wilt thou hyde thy face fro me?

Lest myne enemie saye: I haue preuayled agaynst hi for yf I be cast downe, they that trouble me will reioyse at it.

Thou hast proued & visited myne herte in the night season: thou hast tried me in the fyre, & hast founde no wickednes in me: for I vtterly purposed, that my mouth shulde not offende.

For vnto the I crie, heare me o God: enclyne thine eares to me, and herke vnto my wordes.

They haue children at their desyre, and leaue the reste of their substauce for their babes. But as for me, I will beholde thy presence in rightuousnes: and when thy glory appeareth, I shal be satisfied.

He delyuered me fro my stronge enemies, and fro my foes which were to mightie for me.

For I haue kepte the wayes of the LORDE, & haue not behaued myself wickedly agaynst my God.
