1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid, to giue instruction. Whe the Ziphims came and said vnto Saul, Is not Dauid hid among vs? Saue mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.
2 O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. Selah.
4 Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lorde is with them that vpholde my soule.
5 He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!
6 Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.
7 For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, & mine eye hath seene my desire vpo mine enemies.

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication.
2 Hearken vnto me, & answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse,
3 For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me.
4 Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.
5 Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.
7 Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. Selah.
8 Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.
10 Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.
11 Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.
12 Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.
13 But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:
14 Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.
15 Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them.
16 But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
17 Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, & he wil heare my voice.
18 He hath deliuered my soule in peace fro the battel, that was against me: for many were with me.
19 God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, Selah. because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God.
20 Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.
21 The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes.
22 Cast thy burden vpon the Lorde, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.
23 And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath . Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.
2 Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.
3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.
4 I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.
5 Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.
6 They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.
7 They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.
8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?
9 When I cry, then mine enemies shal turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.
10 I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.
11 In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.
12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.
13 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the caue. Haue mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.
2 I will call vnto the most high God, euen to the God, that performeth his promes toward me.
3 He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me. Selah. God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.
4 My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, & their tongue a sharpe sworde.
5 Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
6 They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it. Selah.
7 Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.
8 Awake my tongue, awake viole & harpe: I wil awake early.
9 I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
10 For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.
11 Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?
2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
3 The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
4 Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lorde.
7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
9 As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam. When Saul sent and they did watch the house to kill him. O my God, deliuer mee from mine enemies: defend me fro them that rise vp against me.
2 Deliuer me from the wicked doers, and saue me from the bloody men.
3 For loe, they haue layd waite for my soule: the mightie men are gathered against me, not for mine offence, nor for my sinne, O Lord.
4 They runne and prepare themselues without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and beholde.
5 Euen thou, O Lorde God of hostes, O God of Israel awake to visit all the heathen, and be not merciful vnto all that transgresse maliciously. Selah.
6 They goe to and fro in the euening: they barke like dogs, and goe about the citie.
7 Behold, they brag in their talke, & swords are in their lips: for, Who, say they, doeth heare?
8 But thou, O Lord, shalt haue them in derision, and thou shalt laugh at all the heathen.
9 He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.
10 My mercifull God will preuent me: God wil let me see my desire vpon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, least my people forget it: but scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our shield,
12 For the sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride, euen for their periurie and lies, that they speake.
13 Consume them in thy wrath: consume them that they be no more: and let them knowe that God ruleth in Iaakob, euen vnto the ends of the world. Selah.
14 And in the euening they shall go to and fro, and barke like dogs, and go about the citie.
15 They shall runne here and there for meate: and surely they shall not be satisfied, though they tary all night.
16 But I wil sing of thy power, & will prayse thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast bene my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Vnto thee, O my Strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and my mercifull God.

1 To him that excelleth vpon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of Dauid to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, & against Aram Zobah, when Ioab returned and slewe twelue thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.
2 Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
4 But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. Selah.
5 That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
6 God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth .
7 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.
8 Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer

Edom

will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
9 Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto

Edom

?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, & didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
12 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my cry, O God: giue eare vnto my prayer.
2 From the endes of the earth will I crye vnto thee: when mine heart is opprest, bring me vpon the rocke that is higher then I.
3 For thou hast bene mine hope, and a strong tower against the enemie.
4 I will dwell in thy Tabernacle for euer, and my trust shall be vnder the couering of thy wings. Selah.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my desires: thou hast giuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy Name.
6 Thou shalt giue the King a long life: his yeeres shalbe as many ages.
7 Hee shall dwell before God for euer: prepare mercie and faithfulnes that they may preserue him.
8 So will I alway sing prayse vnto thy Name in performing dayly my vowes.

1 To the excellent musician Ieduthun. A Psalme of Dauid. Yet my soule keepeth silence vnto God: of him commeth my saluation.
2 Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be mooued.
3 How long wil ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shalbe all slaine: ye shalbe as a bowed wall, or as a wall shaken.
4 Yet they consult to cast him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blesse with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. Selah.
5 Yet my soule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.
6 Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be mooued.
7 In God is my saluation and my glory, the rocke of my strength: in God is my trust.
8 Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.
9 Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chiefe men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.
10 Trust not in oppression nor in robberie: be not vaine: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
11 God spake once or twise, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,
12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou rewardest euery one according to his worke.

1 A Psalme of Dauid. When he was in the wildernesse of Iudah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.
2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.
4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.
5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?
6 They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.
7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.
8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.
9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.
10 But the righteous shalbe glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of Dauid. O God, praise waiteth for thee in Zion , and vnto thee shall the vowe be perfourmed.
2 Because thou hearest the prayer, vnto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Wicked deedes haue preuailed against me: but thou wilt be mercifull vnto our transgressions.
4 Blessed is he, whom thou chusest and causest to come to thee: he shall dwell in thy courtes, and we shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thine House, euen of thine holy Temple .
5 O God of our saluation, thou wilt answere vs with fearefull signes in thy righteousnes, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are farre off in the sea.
6 He stablisheth the mountaines by his power: and is girded about with strength.
7 He appeaseth the noyse of the seas and the noyse of the waues thereof, and the tumults of the people.
8 They also, that dwell in the vttermost parts of the earth, shalbe afraide of thy signes: thou shalt make the East and the West to reioyce.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very riche: the Riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest them corne: for so thou appointest it.
10 Thou waterest abundantly the furrowes thereof: thou causest the raine to descende into the valleies thereof: thou makest it soft with showres, and blessest the bud thereof.
11 Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse.
12 They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.
13 The pastures are clad with sheepe: the valleis also shalbe couered with corne: therefore they shoute for ioye, and sing.

1 To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Reioyce in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.
2 Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.
4 All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. Selah.
5 Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men.
6 He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.
7 He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. Selah.
8 Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.
9 Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.
10 For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.
11 Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.
12 Thou hast caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.
13 I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,
14 Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine affliction.
15 I will offer vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. Selah.
16 Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.
17 I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.
18 If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.
19 But God hath heard me, & considered the voyce of my prayer.
20 Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song. God be mercifull vnto vs, and blesse vs, and cause his face to shine among vs. Selah.
2 That they may know thy way vpon earth, and thy sauing health among all nations.
3 Let the people prayse thee, O God: let all the people prayse thee.
4 Let the people be glad and reioyce: for thou shalt iudge the people righteously, and gouerne the nations vpon the earth. Selah.
5 Let the people prayse thee, O God: let all the people prayse thee.
6 Then shall the earth bring foorth her increase, and God, euen our God shall blesse vs.
7 God shall blesse vs, and all the endes of the earth shall feare him.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme or song of Dauid. God will arise, and his enemies shalbe scattered: they also that hate him, shall flee before him.
2 As the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou driue them away: and as waxe melteth before the fire, so shall the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But the righteous shalbe glad, and reioyce before God: yea, they shall leape for ioye.
4 Sing vnto God, and sing prayses vnto his name: exalt him that rideth vpon the heauens, in his Name Iah, and reioyce before him.
5 He is a Father of the fatherlesse, & a Iudge of the widowes, euen God in his holy habitation.
6 God maketh the solitarie to dwell in families, and deliuereth them that were prisoners in stocks: but the rebellious shal dwell in a dry land.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people: when thou wentest through the wildernesse, (Selah)
8 The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped at the presence of this God: euen Sinai was moued at the presence of God, euen the God of Israel.
9 Thou, O God, sendest a gracious raine vpon thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it when it was wearie.
10 Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou, O God, hast of thy goodnesse prepared it for the poore.
11 The Lorde gaue matter to the women to tell of the great armie.
12 Kings of the armies did flee: they did flee, and she that remained in the house, deuided the spoyle.
13 Though ye haue lien among pots, yet shal ye be as the winges of a doue that is couered with siluer, and whose fethers are like yelowe golde.
14 When the Almightie scattered Kings in it, it was white as the snowe in Zalmon.
15 The mountaine of God is like the mountaine of Bashan: it is an high Mountaine, as mount Bashan .
16 Why leape ye, ye high mountaines? as for this Mountaine, God deliteth to dwell in it: yea, the Lord will dwell in it for euer.
17 The charets of God are twentie thousande thousand Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the Sanctuarie of Sinai.
18 Thou art gone vp on high: thou hast led captiuitie captiue, and receiued giftes for men: yea, euen the rebellious hast thou led, that the Lorde God might dwell there.
19 Praysed be the Lorde, euen the God of our saluation, which ladeth vs dayly with benefites. Selah.
20 This is our God, euen the God that saueth vs: and to the Lord God belong the issues of death.
21 Surely God will wound the head of his enemies, and the hearie pate of him that walketh in his sinnes.
22 The Lord hath sayde, I will bring my people againe from Bashan : I will bring them againe from the depths of the Sea:
23 That thy foote may bee dipped in blood, and the tongue of thy dogges in the blood of the enemies, euen in it.
24 They haue seene, O God, thy goings, the goings of my God, and my King, which art in the Sanctuarie.
25 The singers went before, the players of instruments after: in the middes were the maides playing with timbrels.
26 Praise yee God in the assemblies, and the Lord, ye that are of the fountaine of

Israel

.
27 There was litle Beniamin with their ruler, and the princes of Iudah with their assemblie, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Thy God hath appointed thy strength: stablish, O God, that, which thou hast wrought in vs,
29 Out of thy Temple vpon Ierusalem: and Kings shall bring presents vnto thee.
30 Destroy the company of the spearemen, & multitude of the mightie bulles with the calues of the people, that tread vnder feete pieces of siluer: scatter the people that delite in warre.
31 Then shall the princes come out of Egypt :

Ethiopia

shall hast to stretche her hands vnto God.
32 Sing vnto God, O yee kingdomes of the earth: sing praise vnto the Lord, (Selah)
33 To him that rideth vpon ye most high heauens, which were from the beginning: beholde, he will send out by his voice a mightie sound.
34 Ascribe the power to God: for his maiestie is vpon

Israel

, and his strength is in the cloudes.
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thine holie places: the God of Israel is hee that giueth strength and power vnto the people: praised be God.

1 To him that excelleth vpon Shoshannim. A Psalme of Dauid. Saue mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
2 I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
3 I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
4 They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
5 O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
6 Let not them that trust in thee, O Lorde God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
7 For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
8 I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
9 For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
10 I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
11 I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
12 They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkardes sang of me.
13 But Lorde, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
14 Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
15 Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
18 Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
20 Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
21 For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
22 Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
25 Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
27 Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
28 Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
29 When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
31 This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
32 The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
35 For God will saue Zion , and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
36 The seede also of his seruants shal inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to put in remembrance. O God, haste thee to deliuer mee: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.
2 Let them be confounded & put to shame, that seeke my soule: let them bee turned backewarde and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
3 Let them be turned backe for a rewarde of their shame, which said, Aha, aha.
4 But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.
5 Nowe I am poore and needie: O God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliuerer: O Lord, make no tarying.

1 In thee, O Lorde, I trust: let me neuer be ashamed.
2 Rescue mee and deliuer me in thy righteousnes: incline thine eare vnto me and saue me.
3 Be thou my strong rocke, whereunto I may alway resort: thou hast giuen commaundement to saue me: for thou art my rocke, & my fortresse.
4 Deliuer mee, O my God, out of the hande of the wicked: out of the hande of the euill and cruell man.
5 For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, euen my trust from my youth.
6 Vpon thee haue I beene stayed from the wombe: thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers bowels: my praise shalbe alwaies of thee.
7 I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but thou art my sure trust.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day.
9 Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speake of mee, and they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.
12 Goe not farre from me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.
13 Let them be confounded & consumed that are against my soule: let them be couered with reproofe and confusion, that seeke mine hurt.
14 But I will waite continually, and will praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation: for I knowe not the nomber.
16 I will goe forwarde in the strength of the Lord God, and will make mention of thy righteousnesse, euen of thine onely.
17 O God, thou hast taught me fro my youth euen vntill nowe: therefore will I tell of thy wonderous workes,
18 Yea, euen vnto mine olde age and graie head, O God: forsake me not, vntill I haue declared thine arme vnto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come.
19 And thy righteousnes, O God, I wil exalt on high: for thou hast done great thinges: O God, who is like vnto thee!
20 Which hast shewed me great troubles and aduersities, but thou wilt returne, and reuiue me, and wilt come againe, and take mee vp from the depth of the earth.
21 Thou wilt increase mine honour, & returne and comfort me.
22 Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulnesse, O God, vpon instrument and viole: vnto thee will I sing vpon the harpe, O Holy one of Israel .
23 My lippes will reioyce when I sing vnto thee, and my soule, which thou hast deliuered.
24 My tongue also shal talke of thy righteousnesse daily: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that seeke mine hurt.

1 A Psalme of Salomon. Giue thy iudgements to the King, O God, and thy righteousnesse to the Kings sonne.
2 Then shal he iudge thy people in righteousnesse, and thy poore with equitie.
3 The mountaines & the hilles shall bring peace to the people by iustice.
4 He shall iudge the poore of the people: he shall saue the children of the needie, and shal subdue the oppressor.
5 They shall feare thee as long as the sunne and moone endureth, fro generatio to generation.
6 He shall come downe like the rayne vpon the mowen grasse , and as the showres that water the earth.
7 In his dayes shall the righteous florish, and abundance of peace shalbe so long as the moone endureth.
8 His dominion shall be also from sea to sea, and from the Riuer vnto the endes of the land.
9 They that dwell in ye wildernes, shall kneele before him, and his enemies shall licke the dust.
10 The Kings of Tarshish & of the yles shall bring presents: the Kings of

Sheba

and Seba shall bring giftes.
11 Yea, all Kings shal worship him: all nations shall serue him.
12 For he shall deliuer the poore when he cryeth: the needie also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shalbe mercifull to the poore and needie, and shall preserue the soules of the poore.
14 He shall redeeme their soules from deceite and violence, and deare shall their blood be in his sight.
15 Yea, he shall liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the golde of

Sheba

: they shall also pray for him continually, and dayly blesse him.
16 An handfull of corne shall be sowen in the earth, euen in the toppe of the mountaines, and the fruite thereof shall shake like the trees of Lebanon : and the children shall florish out of the citie like the grasse of the earth.
17 His name shall be for euer: his name shall indure as long as the sunne: all nations shall blesse him, and be blessed in him.
18 Blessed be the Lorde God, euen the God of Israel, which onely doeth wonderous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glorie. So be it, euen so be it.
20 Here end the prayers of Dauid, the sonne of Ishai.

1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel : euen, to the pure in heart.
2 As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had welneere slipt.
3 For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
4 For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
6 Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
8 They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
9 They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
13 Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
14 For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
15 If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
16 Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
17 Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
18 Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
21 Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
22 So foolish was I & ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
23 Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
26 My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
27 For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
28 As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.

1 A Psalme to giue instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
2 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion , wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lorde, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.

1 To him that excelleth Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.
2 When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.
3 The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillers of it. Selah.
4 I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.
5 Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.
6 For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,
7 But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.
8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.
9 But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.
10 All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.

1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme or song committed to Asaph. God is knowen in Iudah: his Name is great in Israel .
2 For in Shalem is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion .
3 There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the shielde and the sword and the battell. Selah.
4 Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountaines of pray.
5 The stout hearted are spoyled: they haue slept their sleepe, and all the men of strength haue not found their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Iaakob, both the chariot and horse are cast a sleepe.
7 Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angrie!
8 Thou didest cause thy iudgement to bee heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was still,
9 When thou, O God, arose to iudgement, to helpe all the meeke of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the rage of man shall turne to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrayne.
11 Vowe and performe vnto the Lorde your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let them bring presents vnto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.

1 For the excellent musitian Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.
3 I did thinke vpon God, & was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. Selah.
4 Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.
5 Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.
6 I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
7 Will the Lorde absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?
8 Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promes faile for euermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? Selah.
10 And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High.
11 I remembred the workes of the Lorde: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.
12 I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,
13 Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!
14 Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.
15 Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob & Ioseph. Selah.
16 The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.
17 The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.
18 The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.
19 Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, & thy footesteps are not knowen.
20 Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1 A Psalme to giue instruction comitted to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
3 Which we haue heard and knowen, & our fathers haue tolde vs.
4 Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, & his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
5 How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commaunded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
6 That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
7 That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
8 And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient & rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
9 The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
10 They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
11 And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
12 Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of

Egypt

: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
13 He deuided the Sea, & led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
14 In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
16 He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
17 Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
18 And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
19 They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
20 Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
21 Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, & also wrath came vpon

Israel

,
22 Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
23 Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
24 And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
25 Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
26 He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
27 Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
28 And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
29 So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
30 They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
31 When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in

Israel

.
32 For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
33 Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
34 And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
35 And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
38 Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, & destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, & did not stirre vp all his wrath.
39 For he remebred that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
40 How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
41 Yea, they returned, & tempted God, and limited the Holie one of

Israel

.
42 They remebred not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
43 Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
44 And turned their riuers into blood, & their floods, that they could not drinke.
45 Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
47 He destroied their vines with haile, & their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
48 He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
49 Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
50 He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
51 And smote al the firstborne in

Egypt

, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
52 But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, & led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
53 Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
54 And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
55 He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
56 Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
57 But turned backe & delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
58 And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
59 God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred

Israel

,
60 So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
61 And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
62 And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
63 The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
64 Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
65 But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, & as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
66 And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
67 Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
69 And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
70 He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
71 Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel .
72 So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.

1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance: thine holy Temple haue they defiled, and made Ierusalem heapes of stones.
2 The dead bodies of thy seruats haue they giuen to be meat vnto foules of ye heauen: and the flesh of thy Saintes vnto the beastes of the earth.
3 Their blood haue they shead like waters rounde about Ierusalem, and there was none to burie them.
4 Wee are a reproche to our neighbours, euen a scorne and derision vnto them that are round about vs.
5 Lord, howe long wilt thou be angrie, for euer? shall thy gelousie burne like fire?
6 Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen that haue not knowen thee, and vpon the kingdomes that haue not called vpon thy Name.
7 For they haue deuoured Iaakob and made his dwelling place desolate.
8 Remember not against vs the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy tender mercies preuent vs: for we are in great miserie.
9 Helpe vs, O God of our saluation, for the glorie of thy Name, and deliuer vs, and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy Names sake.
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be knowen among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy seruants that is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preserue the children of death,
12 And render to our neighbours seuen folde into their bosome their reproche, wherewith they haue reproched thee, O Lord.
13 So wee thy people, and sheepe of thy pasture shall praise thee for euer: and from generation to generation we will set foorth thy praise.

1 To him that excelleth on Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Heare, O thou Shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like sheepe: shewe thy brightnes, thou that sittest betweene the Cherubims.
2 Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.
3 Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.
4 O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?
5 Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure.
6 Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues.
7 Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of

Egypt

: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.
10 The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.
12 Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?
13 The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.
14 Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,
15 And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.
16 It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe.
18 So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.
19 Turne vs againe, O Lorde God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.

1 To him that excelleth vpon Gittith. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Sing ioyfully vnto God our strength: sing loude vnto the God of Iaakob.
2 Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harpe with the viole.
3 Blowe the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed, at our feast day.
4 For this is a statute for

Israel

, and a Law of the God of Iaakob.
5 Hee set this in Ioseph for a testimonie, when hee came out of the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I vnderstoode not.
6 I haue withdrawen his shoulder from the burden, and his handes haue left the pots.
7 Thou calledst in affliction and I deliuered thee, and answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I prooued thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Heare, O my people, and I wil protest vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me,
9 Let there bee no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any strange god.
10 For I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt : open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not heare my voyce, and

Israel

would none of me.
12 So I gaue them vp vnto the hardnes of their heart, & they haue walked in their owne cousels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened vnto me, and

Israel

had walked in my wayes.
14 I would soone haue humbled their enemies, and turned mine hand against their aduersaries.
15 The haters of the Lorde should haue bene subiect vnto him, and their time should haue endured for euer.
16 And God would haue fedde them with the fatte of wheat, and with honie out of the rocke would I haue sufficed thee.

1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.
2 How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.
4 Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.
6 I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.
8 O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.

1 A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keepe not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.
2 For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
3 They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.
4 They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of

Israel

be no more in remembrance.
5 For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom , and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:
7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:
8 Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot . Selah.
9 Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.
10 They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.
11 Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.
12 Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.
13 O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.
14 As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.
16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.

1 To him that excelleth vpon Gittith. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. O Lord of hostes, howe amiable are thy Tabernacles!
2 My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.
3 Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her yong: euen by thine altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion .
8 O Lorde God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. Selah.
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
10 For a day in thy courtes is better then a thousand other where: I had rather be a doore keeper in the House of my God, then to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickednesse.
11 For the Lord God is the sunne and shielde vnto vs: the Lord will giue grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly.
12 O Lorde of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lorde, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
2 Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. Selah.
3 Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe fro the fiercenes of thy wrath.
4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
6 Wilt thou not turne againe & quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
7 Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
8 I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
9 Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
11 Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
12 Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
13 Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.

1 A prayer of Dauid. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, & hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lorde, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, & shall glorifie thy Name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lorde, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, & thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue.
14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lorde, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.

1 A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.
2 The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie of God. Selah.
4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia , There is he borne.
5 And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.
6 The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. Selah.
7 Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.

1 A song or Psalme of Heman the Ezrahite to giue instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah for him that excelleth vpon Malath Leannoth. O Lorde God of my saluation, I cry day and night before thee.
2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
3 For my soule is filled with euils, and my life draweth neere to the graue.
4 I am counted among them that go downe vnto the pit, and am as a man without strength:
5 Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
6 Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
7 Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, & thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. Selah.
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.
9 Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lorde, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.
10 Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? Selah.
11 Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?
12 Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
13 But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lorde, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
14 Lorde, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
16 Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
17 They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me together.
18 My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.

1 A Psalme to giue instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lorde for euer: with my mouth will I declare thy trueth from generation to generation.
2 For I said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shalt thou stablish in ye very heauens.
3 I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,
4 Thy seede will I stablish for euer, & set vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.
5 O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.
6 For who is equall to the Lorde in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?
7 God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.
8 O Lorde God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.
11 The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.
12 Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.
13 Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.
16 They shall reioyce continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousnes shall they exalt them selues.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.
18 For our shield apperteineth to the Lorde, and our King to the holy one of

Israel

.
19 Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.
21 Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.
22 The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.
23 But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.
26 He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.
27 Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.
28 My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.
29 His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.
30 But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:
31 If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:
32 Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.
33 Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.
34 My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,
36 His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.
37 He shalbe established for euermore as the moone, and as a faythfull witnes in the heauen. Selah.
38 But thou hast reiected and abhorred, thou hast bene angry with thine Anoynted.
39 Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant, and profaned his crowne, casting it on the ground.
40 Thou hast broken downe all his walles: thou hast layd his fortresses in ruine.
41 All that goe by the way, spoyle him: he is a rebuke vnto his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies, and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sworde, and hast not made him to stand in the battell.
44 Thou hast caused his dignitie to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.
45 The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned, and couered him with shame. Selah.
46 Lord, howe long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire?
47 Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?
48 What man liueth, and shall not see death? shall hee deliuer his soule from the hande of the graue? Selah.
49 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?
50 Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy seruants, which I beare in my bosome of all the mightie people.
51 For thine enemies haue reproched thee, O Lorde, because they haue reproched the footesteps of thine Anointed.
52 Praised be the Lord for euermore. So be it, euen so be it.

1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
4 For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, & as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse :
6 In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
10 The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
13 Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
14 Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
15 Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
16 Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, & direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.

1 Who so dwelleth in the secrete of the most High, shall abide in the shadowe of the Almightie.
2 I will say vnto the Lorde, O mine hope, and my fortresse: he is my God, in him will I trust.
3 Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.
4 Hee will couer thee vnder his winges, and thou shalt be sure vnder his feathers: his trueth shall be thy shielde and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:
6 Nor of the pestilence that walketh in the darkenesse: nor of the plague that destroyeth at noone day.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and tenne thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come neere thee.
8 Doubtlesse with thine eyes shalt thou beholde and see the reward of the wicked.
9 For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge.
10 There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.
11 For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes.
12 They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.
13 Thou shalt walke vpon the lyon and aspe: the yong lyon and the dragon shalt thou treade vnder feete.
14 Because he hath loued me, therefore will I deliuer him: I will exalt him because hee hath knowen my Name.
15 He shall call vpon me, and I wil heare him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliuer him, and glorifie him.
16 With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.

1 A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing vnto thy Name, O most High,
2 To declare thy louing kindenesse in the morning, and thy trueth in the night,
3 Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the viole with the song vpon the harpe.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made mee glad by thy workes, and I wil reioyce in the workes of thine handes.
5 O Lord, how glorious are thy workes! and thy thoughtes are very deepe.
6 An vnwise man knoweth it not, and a foole doeth not vnderstand this,
7 (When the wicked growe as the grasse, and all the workers of wickednesse doe flourish) that they shall be destroyed for euer.
8 But thou, O Lord, art most High for euermore.
9 For loe, thine enemies, O Lorde: for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquitie shall be destroyed.
10 But thou shalt exalt mine horne, like the vnicornes, and I shalbe anoynted with fresh oyle.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my wish against the wicked, that rise vp against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree, and shall grow like a Cedar in

Lebanon

.
13 Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courtes of our God.
14 They shall still bring foorth fruite in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord my rocke is righteous, and that none iniquitie is in him.

1 The Lord reigneth, and is clothed with maiestie: the Lorde is clothed, and girded with power: the world also shall be established, that it cannot be mooued.
2 Thy throne is established of olde: thou art from euerlasting.
3 The floodes haue lifted vp, O Lorde: the floodes haue lifted vp their voyce: the floods lift vp their waues.
4 The waues of ye sea are marueilous through the noyse of many waters, yet the Lorde on High is more mightie.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holinesse becommeth thine House, O Lord, for euer.

1 O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 They smite downe thy people, O Lorde, and trouble thine heritage.
6 They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murther the fatherlesse.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9 Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13 That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
14 Surely the Lorde will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For iudgement shal returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall followe after it.
16 Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
17 If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20 Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 But the Lorde is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.

1 Come, let vs reioyce vnto the Lorde: let vs sing aloude vnto the rocke of our saluation.
2 Let vs come before his face with praise: let vs sing loude vnto him with Psalmes.
3 For the Lorde is a great God, and a great King aboue all gods.
4 In whose hande are the deepe places of the earth, and the heightes of the mountaines are his:
5 To whome the Sea belongeth: for hee made it, and his handes formed the dry land.
6 Come, let vs worship and fall downe, and kneele before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hande: to day, if ye will heare his voyce,
8 Harden not your heart, as in Meribah, and as in the day of Massah in the wildernesse.
9 Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, though they had seene my worke.
10 Fourtie yeeres haue I contended with this generation, and said, They are a people that erre in heart, for they haue not knowen my wayes.
11 Wherefore I sware in my wrath, saying, Surely they shall not enter into my rest.

1 Sing vnto the Lorde a newe song: sing vnto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing vnto the Lorde, and prayse his Name: declare his saluation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among all nations, and his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lorde is great and much to be praysed: he is to be feared aboue all gods.
5 For all the gods of the people are idoles: but the Lord made the heauens.
6 Strength and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his Sanctuarie.
7 Giue vnto the Lorde, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.
8 Giue vnto the Lord the glory of his Name: bring an offering, and enter into his courtes.
9 Worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie: tremble before him all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, The Lorde reigneth: surely the world shalbe stable, & not moue, and he shall iudge the people in righteousnesse.
11 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roare, and all that therein is.
12 Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: let all the trees of the wood then reioyce
13 Before the Lord: for he commeth, for he cometh to iudge the earth: he wil iudge the world with righteousnes, and the people in his trueth.

1 The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.
2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteousnesse and iudgement are the foundation of his throne.
3 There shall goe a fire before him, & burne vp his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
5 The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heauens declare his righteousnes, and all the people see his glory.
7 Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
8 Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
9 For thou, Lorde, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all gods.
10 Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
12 Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.

1 A Psalme. Sing vnto the Lord a newe song: for hee hath done marueilous things: his right hand, and his holy arme haue gotten him the victorie.
2 The Lord declared his saluation: his righteousnes hath he reueiled in the sight of ye nations.
3 He hath remembred his mercy and his trueth toward the house of Israel : all the ends of the earth haue seene the saluation of our God.
4 All the earth, sing ye loude vnto the Lord: crie out and reioyce, and sing prayses.
5 Sing prayse to the Lorde vpon the harpe, euen vpon the harpe with a singing voyce.
6 With shalmes and sound of trumpets sing loude before the Lord the King.
7 Let the sea roare, and all that therein is, the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands, and let the mountaines reioyce together
9 Before the Lord: for he is come to iudge the earth: with righteousnesse shall hee iudge the world, and the people with equitie.

1 The Lord reigneth, let the people tremble: he sitteth betweene the Cherubims, let the earth be moued.
2 The Lord is great in Zion , and he is high aboue all the people.
3 They shall prayse thy great and fearefull Name (for it is holy)
4 And the Kings power, that loueth iudgement: for thou hast prepared equitie: thou hast executed iudgement and iustice in Iaakob.
5 Exalt the Lorde our God, and fall downe before his footestoole: for he is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, and Samuel among such as call vpon his Name: these called vpon the Lord, and he heard them.
7 Hee spake vnto them in the cloudie pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Lawe that he gaue them.
8 Thou heardest them, O Lorde our God: thou wast a fauourable God vnto them, though thou didst take vengeance for their inuentions.
9 Exalt the Lorde our God, and fall downe before his holy Mountaine: for the Lorde our God is holy.

1 A Psalme of prayse. Sing ye loude vnto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Serue the Lord with gladnes: come before him with ioyfulnes.
3 Knowe ye that euen the Lord is God: hee hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people, and the sheepe of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with prayse, and into his courts with reioycing: prayse him and blesse his Name.
5 For the Lorde is good: his mercy is euerlasting, and his trueth is from generation to generation.

1 A Psalme of Dauid. I will sing mercie and iudgement: vnto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will doe wisely in the perfite way, till thou commest to me: I will walke in the vprightnes of mine heart in the middes of mine house.
3 I wil set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that fall away: it shal not cleaue vnto me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will knowe none euill.
5 Him that priuily slandereth his neighbour, wil I destroy: him that hath a proude looke and hie heart, I cannot suffer.
6 Mine eyes shalbe vnto the faithfull of the lande, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfite way, he shall serue me.
7 There shal no deceitful person dwell within mine house: he that telleth lyes, shall not remaine in my sight.
8 Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord.

1 A prayer of the afflicted, when hee shall be in distresse, and poure foorth his meditation before the Lorde. O Lorde, heare my prayer, and let my crye come vnto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble: incline thine eares vnto me: when I call, make haste to heare me.
3 For my dayes are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burnt like an herthe.
4 Mine heart is smitten and withereth like grasse , because I forgate to eate my bread.
5 For the voyce of my groning my bones doe cleaue to my skinne.
6 I am like a pelicane of the wildernesse: I am like an owle of the deserts.
7 I watch and am as a sparrowe alone vpon the house top.
8 Mine enemies reuile me dayly, and they that rage against me, haue sworne against me.
9 Surely I haue eaten asshes as bread, and mingled my drinke with weeping,
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast heaued me vp, and cast me downe.
11 My dayes are like a shadowe that fadeth, and I am withered like grasse .
12 But thou, O Lorde, doest remaine for euer, and thy remembrance from generation to generation.
13 Thou wilt arise & haue mercy vpon Zion : for the time to haue mercie thereon, for the appointed time is come.
14 For thy seruants delite in the stones thereof, and haue pitie on the dust thereof.
15 Then the heathen shall feare the Name of the Lord, and all the Kings of the earth thy glory,
16 When the Lorde shall build vp Zion, and shall appeare in his glory,
17 And shall turne vnto the prayer of the desolate, and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people, which shalbe created, shall prayse the Lord.
19 For he hath looked downe from the height of his Sanctuarie: out of the heauen did the Lord beholde the earth,
20 That he might heare the mourning of the prisoner, and deliuer the children of death:
21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Zion, and his prayse in Ierusalem,
22 When the people shalbe gathered together, and the kingdomes to serue the Lorde.
23 He abated my strength in the way, and shortened my dayes.
24 And I sayd, O my God, take me not away in the middes of my dayes: thy yeeres endure from generation to generation.
25 Thou hast aforetime layde the foundation of the earth, and the heauens are the worke of thine hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: euen they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
27 But thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not fayle.
28 The children of thy seruants shall continue, and their seede shall stand fast in thy sight.
