O Lord, watch over thy * 1.1 servants; for my fami∣liar friends whom I trusted have laid wait for me. Be thou merciful unto me, O Lord, and deliver me from them: that even in this I may know thou favourest me, that mine Ene∣mies are not able to triumph against me. Amen.
Exalt thy self, O God, a∣bove * 1.2 the heavens, and thy glorie upon all the earth: For men have laid a net for my steps, they
have pressed down my soul, they have digged a pit before me. Lord, I de∣sire not that they should fall into the midst of it themselves, but I beseech thee keep me out and deliver me, for thy mercie sake. Amen.
Mine enemies lay wait * 1.3 for my soul, and take counsel toge∣ther: They pursue me out of an opi∣nion that thou, O God, hast forsaken me. But go not far from me, O God; my God, haste to help me. Amen.
O Lord, the proud have * 1.4 digged pits for me; they persecute me falsly, O be thou my help. They had almost made an end of me upon earth; yet suffer me not, I beseech thee, to depart from thy Command∣ments, for Jesus Christ his sake. A∣men.
Lord, keep me from the * 1.5 snare which malicious men have laid for me, and from the traps of wicked doers. If they will not repent, let them sall into their own nets toge∣ther,
but let me ever escape them. Amen.
O Lord, I pour out my * 1.6 complaints before thee: Consider them, for I am brought very low. O deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
