Deliuer me not ouer vnto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen vp against me, and such as breath out crueltie.

Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance, feede them also, and lift them vp for euer.

The Lord sitteth vpon the flood: yea the Lord sitteth King for euer.

[A Psalme, and song at the dedication of the house of Dauid.] I wil extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast lifted me vp; and hast not made my foes to reioyce ouer me.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his fauour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but ioy commeth in the morning.

Thou hast turned for mee my mourning into dauncing: thou hast put off my sackecloth, and girded mee with gladnesse:

To the end that my glory may sing prayse to thee, and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.

Bowe downe thine eare to me, deliuer me speedily: be thou my strong rocke, for an house of defence to saue me.

For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therfore for thy names sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net, that they haue layd priuily for me: for thou art my strength.

I will be glad, and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities;

Haue mercy vpon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; mine eie is consumed with griefe, yea my soule and my belly.

For my life is spent with griefe, and my yeeres with sighing: my strength faileth, because of mine iniquitie, and my bones are consumed.

For I haue heard the slaunder of many, feare was on euery side: while they tooke counsell together against me, they deuised to take away my life.

Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant: saue me for thy mercies sake.

Let mee not be ashamed, O Lord, for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the graue.

O how great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layd vp for them that feare thee: which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sonnes of men!

Blessed be the Lord; for hee hath shewed me his maruellous kindnesse, in a strong citie.

For I sayd in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eies: Neuerthelesse thou heardest the voice of my supplications, when I cryed vnto thee.

O loue the Lord, all yee his Saints: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
