¶ Dauid setteth foorth the exceeding goodnes of God towardes the innocent and iust, and towardes those that worship hym, feare hym, and trust in hym: for God heareth them whensoeuer they call vpon hym in their necessitie, he is present with them in helping, deliuering, and defending them. Agayne, he ordereth so seuerely the wicked, that he bringeth them to desolation, that no remembraunce be left once of them.
1 I Wyll alway blesse God: his prayse [unspec A] shall euer be in my mouth.
2 My soule shal glory in God: the hum∣ble shall heare therof and be glad.
3 Magnifie God with me: and let vs ex∣alt his name [all] together.
4 Carefully I sought God, & he hearde me: yea he deliuered me out of all my feare.
5 Let them turne their eyes on him, and make speede to come vnto hym: and their faces shall not be ashamed.
6 [Lo] this same poore man hath cryed: and God hath hearde hym, and saued hym out of all his troubles.
[unspec B] 7 The angell of God campeth rounde about them that feare hym: and deliue∣reth them.
8 O taste and see how gracious God is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 Feare God ye that be his saintes: for they that feare him lacke nothing.
10 Young Lions do lacke and suffer hun∣ger: but they whiche seeke God, shall want no maner of thing that is good.
11 Come ye chyldren and hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of God.
12 What man is he that listeth to liue: [and] woulde fayne see good dayes.
13 Kepe thy tongue from euill: and thy lippes that they speake no guyle.
14 Eschewe euill & do good: seeke peace and ensue it. [unspec C]
15 The eyes of God [are] ouer the righ∣teous: and his eares [are open] vnto their prayers.
16 The countenaunce of God is against them that do euill: to roote out the re∣membraunce of them from of the earth.
17 The righteous crye, and God heareth them: and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.
18 God is nye vnto them that are of a (a) 1.2 contrite heart: and saueth such as be of an humble spirite.
19 Great are the troubles of the righte∣ous: but God deliuereth him out of all.
20 He kepeth all his bones: so that no one of them is broken.
21 Malice shal put the vngodly to death: and they that hate the righteous, shalbe brought to naught. [unspec D]
22 God redeemeth the soules of his ser∣uauntes: and al they that put their trust in him, shall not be brought to naught.
