¶ The second parte.
[verse 9] Lorde cease the heart of wicked men, and be the iust mans guide. [verse 10] By whom the secretes of all hartes, are searched and descride. [verse 11] I take my helpe, to come of God, in all my grief and smarte:That doth preserue all those that be, of pure and perfect heart.
[verse 12] The iust man, and the wicked bothe, God iudgeth by his poure:So that he feleth his mighty hand, euen euery day and houre. * 1.1 [verse 13] Except he chaunge his mind, I die, for euen as he should smite,He whet his sword his bow he bendth, ayming where he may hit.
[verse 14] And doeth prepare his mortall dartes, his arrowes kene and sharpe:For them that doo me persecute, * 1.2 whilest he doth mischief warpe, [verse 15] But we, though he in trauell be, of his deuilish fore cast.
And of his mischief once conceiued, yet bringeth forth nought at last.
[verse 16] He digth a ditche, and delueth it depe. * 1.3 In hope to hurte his brother:But he shall fall into the pit, that he digde vp for other. [verse 17] Thus wrong retorneth to the hurt, of him in whom it bread:And all the mischief that he wrought, shall fall vpon his head.
[verse 18] I will geue thankes to God therfore, that iudgeth rightuously:And with my song prayse will the name, of hym that is most hye.
