David maketh God his refuge, shewing the crueltie and subtilty of his adversaries.

HAve mercy LORD on me, Whom man would make a prey, Behold how he Oppresseth me, Contending every day. [verse 2] They that mine enemies be, Would daily me devour: For infinite Against me fight, O thou of highest pow'r.

[verse 3] What time I am afraid, Lo, I will trust in thee: [verse 4] His word will I Still magnifie In God inabling me.* 1.1 In Gods assured aid I have repos'd my trust: I fear not you What ye can do That are but mortall dust. [verse 5] My words they utter wrong, And every day they wrest: Their thoughts are still To work me ill, What ever they suggest. [verse 6] Lo, they together throng, Themselves they closely hide, When as they watch My soul to catch, They mark me every stride.
