¶The argument of the .cxx. Psalme.

¶The prophete requesteth God for to deliuer him from such as do maliciously slaunder him with false reportes. For by their meanes he esteemeth his life led with the Ismaelites and with the barbarous people of Arabia, and not with Gods people.

¶A song of high * 1.1 degrees.

1 WHen I was in [unspec A] trouble I called vpon God:* 1.2 and he hearde me.

2 Deliuer my soule O God from false lyppes: & from a deceiptful tongue.

3 What doth a de∣ceiptfull tongue vnto thee? what good bryngeth it thee?

4 [So much] as sharpe arrowes of a [unspec B] strong man [in thy sydes:] with Iuniper coales [powred on thy head.]

5 Wo be vnto me that am constrayned to be conuersaunt in (a) 1.3 Mesech: and to dwell among the tentes of Cedar.

6 My soule hath dwelt long: with hym that hateth peace.

7 I [am a man] of peace: but because I do speake therof, they [prepare] them selues to battayle.
