The booke of common prayer, and administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the Church of England.

Beati quorum. Psal.xxxij.

BLessed is hee whose vnrighteousnesse is forgiuen: and whose sine is couered. * 1.1

Blessed is the man vnto whom the Lord imputeth no sinne: and in whose spirit there is no guile.

For while I helde my tongue: my bones cōsumed away through my dayly complaining.

For thy hand is heauy vpon me day and might: and my moisture is like the drought in Summer.

I will knowledge my sinne vnto thee: and mine vnrighteousnesse haue I not hid.

I sayd, I will confesse my sinnes vnto the Lorde: and so thou forgauest the wickednesse of my sinne.

For this shall euery one that is godly, make his prayer vntothee in a time when thou mayest be found: but in the great mater floods they shall not come nigh him.

Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shall preserue me from trouble: thou shalt cōpasse me about w^t songs of deliuerance.

I will enforme thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shall go: and I will guide thee with mine eye.

Be ye not like to horie and mule, which haue no vnderstanding: whole mouthes must be holden with bit and bridle, lest they fall vpon thee.

Great plagues remaine for the vngodly: but who so putleth his trust in y^e Lord, mercie imbraceth him on euery side.

Be glad, O ye righteous, and reioyce in the Lord: and bee idyfull all ye that are true of heart.
