A Prayer that we may trust in God onely in all our troubles.
MY soul truly waiteth still up∣on God: for of him cometh my salvation.
2 He verily is my strength and my salvation▪ he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
3 How long will ye i∣magine mischiefe against every man: ye shall be slain all the sort of you, yea, as a tottering wal•• shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
4 Their device is only how to put him out
whom God will exalt: their delight is in lies, they giue good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.
5 Neverthelesse, my soul, wait thou still up∣on God: for my hope is in him.
6 He truly is my strength and my salvation: he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
7 In God is my health and my glory: the rock of my might, and in God is my trust.
8 O put your trust in him alway (ye peo∣ple:) poure out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.
9 As for the children of men, they are but vain: the children of men are deceitfull upon the weights, they are altogether lighter then vanity it self.
10 O trust not in wrong and robbery, giue not your selves unto vanity: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God spake once and twice: I haue also heard the same, that power belongeth unto God.
12 And that thou Lord art mercifull: for thou rewardest every man according to his work.
O Lord God of whom commeth our salva∣vation, thou art our defence and strength,
our health and our glory, give us thy grace, that we may put our whole trust in thee alway, that we may poure out our hearts before thee in all our troubles, that we may wait still upon thee for the performance of our expectation in all our longings and desires. Be thou our defence, up∣hold us that we may not fall into those great sins, which lay wast our consciences, or into such mi∣series as make us without hope or remedy, the miseries of despaire, obstinate malice, or the woes of a sad eternity. Teach us to despise ri∣ches, to disclaim all trust in the creatures, not to delight in lyes, or vanity, not to multiply wrongs and robbery, that when thou shalt come with power and great glory to reward every man ac∣cording to his worke, thou mayest be mercifull unto us pardoning our sinnes, and accepting us to life eternall, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
