THE BOOKE OF PSALMES

Of Christs Incarnation.
The 5. key.
After general grosse ignorance and impiety in the world, Christ shal be incarnate, the Redemer of mankind.
1 Vnto the end, the Psalme of Dauid.
THE foole hath said in his hart: There is no God. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their studies: there is not that doth good no not one.
2 Our Lord hath looked forth from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there be that vnderstandeth, and seeketh after God.
3 Al haue declined, they are become vnprofitable together: there is not that doth good, no not one. Their throte is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they did deceitfully, the poyson of aspes vnder their lippes. Whose mouth is ful of cursing and bitternesse: their feete swift to sheed bloud. Destruction and infelicitie in their waies, and the way of peace they haue not knowen: there is no feare of God before their eies.
4 Shal not al they know that worke iniquitie, that deuoure my people as foode of bread?
5 They haue not inuocated our Lard, there haue they trembled for feare, where no feare was.
6 Because our Lord is in the iust generation, you haue confounded the counsel of the poore man: because our Lord is his hope.
7 Who wil geue from Sion the saluation of Israel? when our Lord shal haue turned away the captiuitie of his people, Iacob shal reioyce, and Israel shal be glad.
