Of Christs victorie.
The 5. key.
Christ, by the mouth of Dauid, declareth his future victory, and triumph euen the world, 9. and death.
1 The inscription of the title to Dauid him self.
PRESERVE me ô Lord, because I haue hoped in thee.
2 I haue said to our Lord: Thou art my God, because thou needest not my goods.
3 To the sainctes, that are in his land, he hath made al my willes meruelous in them.
4 Their infirmities were multiplied: afterward they made hast. I wil not assemble their conuenticles of bloud: neither wil I be mindful of their names by my lippes.
5 Our Lord the portion of myne inheritance, and of my cuppe: thou art he, that wil restore myne inheritance vnto me.
6 Cordes are fallen to me in goodly places: for mine inheritance is goodlie vnto me.
7 I wil blesse our Lord, who hath geuen me vnderstanding: moreouer also euen til night, my veines haue rebuked me.
8 I forsaw our Lord in my sight alwaies: because he is at my right hand, that I be not moued.
9 For this thing my hart hath beene glad, and my tongue hath reioyced: moreouer also my flesh shal rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hel: neither wilt geue thy holie one to see corruption. Thou hast made the waies of life knowen to me, thou shalt make me ful of ioy with thy countenance: delectations on thy right hand, euen to the end.
