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 rea∣dy
their arrows within the quiver: that they may privily shoot at them which are true of heart.
3 For the foundations will bee 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 eye-lids trieth the children of men.
6 The Lord alloweth the righteous: but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickednesse doth his soule ab∣horre.
7 Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brim∣stone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.
8 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousnesse: his countenance will behold the thing that is just.
O Lord who art our hope and our refuge, & 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 infinite loving kindnesse. Defend us from all secret Plots and designes, intended against our peace and securities by them that privily shoot at us, and would overthrow the founda∣tions of our repose and safety. And that we may be better intitled to thy protection and care over us, make us to love righteousnesse, & to follow the things that are just, that by thy grace we being defended from taking delight in wickednesse, may also be delivered from the portion of the ungodly, which thou givest
them to drink, upon whom thou rainest snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest. Deliver us, O Lord, from the eternall pressure of thy wrath, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
