But shame shall them befall, whyche harme them wrongfully:
[verse 3]
Therfore thy pathes & thy rightwaies, vnto me Lorde descry.
[verse 4]
Direct me in thy trueth, and teache me I thee pray:
Thou art my God and sauiour, on thee I wayte alway.
[verse 5]
Thy mercyes manifolde, I pray thee Lorde remember:
And eke thy pitye plentifull, for they haue ben for euer.

Nor after my desertes, let me thy mercy fynde:
But of thyne owne beningnitie, Lorde haue me in thy mynde.
[verse 7]
His mercy is full swete, hys truthe a perfect guyde:
Therfore the Lorde wyll sinners teach and suche as go asyde.
[verse 8]
The humble he will teache, hys precepts for to kepe:
He wyll direct in all hys wayes, the lowly and the meke,
[verse 9]
For all the wayes of God, are trueth and mercy bothe:
To them that kepe hys testament, the witnes of his trouth.
