¶ Dauid trusting in God, complayneth of them who would not suffer him to hide him selfe in the mountaynes when he did flee from Saul. He is comforted, for that God both be∣holdeth the afflictions of the iust, and punisheth the wicked, and withall loueth the iust, beyng him selfe most iust.
[unspec A] 1 IN God I put my trust: howe say ye then to my soule, that she shoulde flee as a byrde from your hyll.
2 For lo, the vngodly haue bende their bowe: and nocked their arrowes with the string, redy to shoote priuily at them whiche are vpright in heart.
3 For if the (a) 1.1 foundations shalbe caste downe: what must the righteous do?
4 But God is in his holy temple, Gods throne is in heauen: his eyes looke downe, his eye liddes tryeth the chyl∣dren [unspec B] of men.
5 God wyll trye the righteous: but his soule abhorreth the vngodly, and hym that delighteth in wickednes.
6 Vpon ye vngodly he wyl rayne snares, fire and brimstone: and “ 1.2 tempestious stormes shalbe their portion “ 1.3 to drinke.
7 For God most righteous, loueth righ∣teousnes: his countenaunce wyll be∣holde the iust.
