PSAL. LXII.

This Psalme 〈◊〉〈◊〉 conteineth meditations, whereby Da∣uid incourageth hym selfe to trust in God againste the assalts of tentations. And because our mindes are easely drawen from God by the allurementes of the worlde he sharpely reproueth this vanitie, to the intent he myght cleaue fast to the Lord.

¶ To the excellent musician * Ieduthun. A Psalme of Dauid.* 1.1

1 YEta 1.2 my soule kepeth silence vnto God: of him (cometh) my saluacion.

2 b 1.3 Yet he is my strength and my saluaciō, (ād) my defence: (therefore) I shall not muche be moued.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against ac 1.4 man? ye shalbe all slaine: (ye shalbe) as a bowed wall, (or) as ad 1.5 wall shaken.

4 Yet they consulte to cast hym downe from his dignitie: their delite is in lies, they bles∣se with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. Sélah.

5 e 1.6 Yet my soule kepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope (is) in him.

6 Yet is he my strength, and my saluation, (ād) my defence: (therfore) I shall not be moued

7 In God (is) my saluacion and myf 1.7 glorie, the rocke of my strength: in God (is) my trust.

8 Trust in hym alwaye, ye people:g 1.8 powre out your hearts before hym, (for) GOD (is) our hope. Sélah.

9 Yet the children of men (are) vanitie, the chief men (are) lies: to lay them vpon a balan ce they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

10 Trust not in oppression nor in roberie,h 1.9 be not vayne: if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 God spakei 1.10 once or twise, I haue heard it, that power (belongeth) vnto God.

12 And to thee, ó Lorde, mercie: for thouk 1.11 re∣wardest euerie one according to his worke.
