[verse 57] O God, which art my part and lot, My comfort and my stay:I haue decreed, and promised, thy lawe to kepe alway. [verse 58] Mine earnest hart did humbly sue, in presence of thy face:As thou therfore hast promised, Lorde graunt me of thy grace.
[verse 59] My lyfe I haue examined, and tryde my secrete hart:Whiche to thy statutes caused me, my fete strayght to conuert. [verse 60] I did not stay nor linger long, as they that slouthfull are:But hastely thy lawes to kepe, I did my selfe beware.
[verse 61] The cruell bandes of wicked men, haue made of me theyr pray:Yet would I not thy law forget, nor from thee go astray. [verse 62] Thy rightous iudgment shewd toward me so great is and so hie:That euen at midnight will I ryse, thy name to magnifye.
