And let thyne eyes beholde, and cleare thys my simplicitie,
[verse 3]
Thouhast well tryed me in the night, and yet couldst nothyng fynde:
That I haue spoken with my tonge, that was not in my minde.
[verse 4]
As from the workes of wicked men, and pathes peruerse and ill:
For loue of thy most holy worde, I haue refrayned styll.
[verse 5]
Then in thy pathes that be most pure, stay me (Lorde) and preserue:
That from the way wherin I walke, my steppes may neuer swerue.
[verse 6]
For I dou call to thee (O Lorde) surely thou wylt me ayde:
Then heare my prayer & way right wel the wordes that I haue sayde.
[verse 7]
O thou the sauiour of all them, that put theyr trust in thee:
Declare thy strength on thē that spurn, against thy maiestie.
[verse 8]
O kepe me (Lord) as thou wouldst kepe the apple of thine eye:
And vnder couert of thy winges, defend me secretly.
