1 The Psalme of Dauid which he song to our Lord, for the wordes of Chusi the sonne of Iemini
2 O Lord my God I haue hoped in thee: saue me from al that persecute me, and deliuer me.
3 Lest sometime he as a Lyon violently take my soule, whiles there is none to redeme, nor to saue.
4 O Lord my God if I haue done this, if there be iniquitie in my handes;
5 If I haue rendred to them that repayed me euils, let me worthely fal emptie from myne enemies.
6 Let the enemie persecute my soule, and take it, and treade downe my life in the earth, and bring downe my glorie into the dust.
7 Arise Lord in thy wrath: and be exalted in the coastes of myne enemies. And arise ô Lord my God in the precept which thou hast commanded:
8 and a sinagogue of peoples shal compasse thee.
9 And for it returne on high: our Lord iudgeth peoples. Iudge me ô Lord according to my iustice, and according to my innocencie vpon me.
10 The wickednesse of sinners shal be consumed, and thou shalt direct the iust, which searchest the hart and raynes ô God.
11 My iust helpe is from our Lord, who saueth those that be right of hart.
12 God is a iust iudge, strong, & patient: is he angrie euerie day?
13 Vnlesse you wil be conuerted, he shal shake his sword, he hath bent his bow, and prepared it.
14 And in it he hath prepared the vessels of death: he hath made his arrowes for them that burne.
15 Behold he hath bredde them with iniustice: he hath conceiued sorow, and brought forth iniquitie.
16 He hath opened a pit, and digged it vp: and he is fallen into the diche, which he made.
17 His sorrow shal be turned vpon his head: and hsi iniquitie shal descend vpon his crowne.
18 I wil confesse to our Lord according to his iustice: and wil sing to the name of our Lord most high.
