PSALME 11.

An addresse to God by way of hope and confidence in him, and a prayer against our secret Enemies.

IN the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?

2 For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows within the quiver: that they may privily shoot at them whith are true of heart.

3 For the foundations will be cast down: and what hath the righteous done?

4 The Lord is in his holy temple: the Lords seat is in heaven.

5 His eyes consider the poore: and his eyeli••s trieth the children of men.

6 The Lord alloweth the righteous: but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickednesse doth his soul abhorre.

7 Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.

8 For the righteous Lord loveth righteous∣nesse:

his countenance will behold the thing that is iust.

The Prayer.

O Lord who art our hope and our refuge, and the exceeding great reward of all that trust in thee, have mercy upon us thy servants, who have no confidences but upon thy mercies and in∣finite loving kindnesse. Defend us from all secret plots & designes, intended against our peace and securities by them that privily shoot at us, and would overthrow the foundations of our repose and safety. And that we may be better intitled to thy protection and care over us, make us to love righteousnesse, and to follow the things that are just, that by thy grace we being defended from taking delight in wickednesse, may also be deli∣vered from the portion of the ungodly, which thou givest them to drink, upon whom thou rain∣est snares, fire and brimston, storm and tempest. Deliver us, O Lord, from the eternall pressure of thy wrath, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
