¶ The. lii. Psalme. [unspec A]
¶ To the chaunter; an exortacion of Dauid, when Do••g the Edomyte came to Saul and shewed him sayinge: Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech.* 1.1
WHy boastest thou thy selfe / thou Ty∣raunte, that thou cāste do myschefe? Where as the goodnesse of God endureth yet daylye. Thy tonge ymagyneth wyc∣kednesse, and with lyes thou cutteste lyke a sharpe ••asoure. Thou haste loued vn∣gracyousnesse more then goodnesse, and to talke of lyes more then ryghteousnesse. Sela. Thou hast loued to speake al wor∣des that maye do hurt, O thou false tonge.
Thertore shall God destroye y• for euer: he shal take y• & plucke y• out of thy dwellīg & rote the out of the lād of the liuing. Sela
The righteous also shal se this, & feare, & [unspec B] shall laugh him to scorne. Lo, this is y• man that toke nat God for his strēgth, but * 1.2 tru∣sted vnto y• multitude of his riches, & strēg∣thed him selfe in his wyckednesse. As for me, I am lyke a grene oliue tre in the house of God: my truste is in the tender mercy of God for euer & euer. I wyll alwaye geue thankes vnto the, for that thou haste done: and I wyll hope in thy name, for thy saync∣tes lyke it well.
