¶ Dauid commendeth hyghly Gods goodnesse, for that he heareth those that put their trust in hym, and delyuereth them out of all perilles and calamities. He pro∣miseth to geue hym selfe hereafter wholly to set foorth Gods glorie, and prayeth for Gods helpe agaynst his enemies.
[unspec A] 1 I Wayted paciently vpon God, and he enclined vnto me [his eare]: and heard my crying.
2 He brought me also out of an horrible “ 1.1 pyt, out of the dirtie mire: and set my feete vpon a rocke, and directed my goynges.
3 And he hath put a newe song in my mouth: euen a thankesgeuyng vnto our Lorde.
4 Many shall see it, and feare: and shall put their trust in God.
5 Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in God: and turned not vnto the proude, and to such as (a) 1.2 decline to lyes.
6 O God my Lord, great are thy won∣derous workes which thou hast done: & none can count in order thy “ 1.3 benefites towarde vs, yf I woulde declare them and speake of them, they shoulde be mo then I am able to expresse.
[unspec B] 7 Thou wouldest haue no sacrifice or of∣feryng, but thou hast (c) 1.4 opened myne eares: thou hast not required burnt of∣ferynges and sacrifice for sinne.
8 Then sayde I, lo I (b) 1.5 am come: in the “ 1.6booke of thy lawe it is written of me that I shoulde fulfyll thy wyll O my God, I am content to do it, yea thy lawe is within the middest of my “ 1.7 brest.
9 I haue declared thy righteousnes in a great congregatiō: lo I wil not refraine my lippes O God thou knowest [it.]
10 I haue not hyd thy ryghteousnesse within my heart: my talkyng hath ben of thy trueth and of thy saluation.
11 I haue not concealed thy louyng mer∣cie and trueth: from the great congre∣gation.
12 Withdrawe not thou thy mercie from me O God: let thy louyng kyndnesse and thy trueth alway preserue me.
13 For innumerable troubles are come about me, my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me that I am not able to loke vp: yea they are mo in number then the heeres of my head, & my heart hath fayled me.
14 O God let it be thy pleasure to deliuer me: make haste O God to helpe me.
15 Let them be ashamed and confounded [unspec C] together that seke after my soule to de∣stroy it: let them be dryuen backwarde & be put to rebuke that wyshe me euyll.
16 Let them be (d) 1.8 desolate in recompence of their shame: that say vnto me, “ 1.9 fye vpon thee, fye vpon thee.
17 Let all those that seeke thee be glad and ioyfull in thee: and let such as loue thy saluation, say alway God be mag∣nified.
18 As for me I am afflicted and needye, but God careth for me: thou art my ayde and delyuerer, O my God make no long tarying.
