THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 I Trust in thee, ô Lord my God, preserue me, and deliuer me from al those that persecute me.

2 Let him not deuoure me aliue like a Lion, and teare me in peeces, hauing none to deliuer me.

3 O my Lord God, if I haue committed this wic∣kednesse, if my hands haue committed anie such mischiefe:

4 If I haue rendered euil to anie man, yea if I haue not deliuered this same man from danger that doth persecute me without anie cause:

5 Let the enimie pursue me vnto death, let him take me and cast me downe, and spoile me of my life, and burie al mine honour and credit with me.

6 Arise, ô Lord, in thine anger, and come downe with thy power against al mine enimies: awake, ô Lord, for my sake, to execute that iudgement that thou hast appointed.

7 Let the assemblie of people come about thee, and turne thee vnto them from thine high throne.

8 Lord execute iudgement among the people, iudge me, ô Lord, euen as I am innocent & giltles.

9 Let the wickednes of the wicked I beseech thee come to an end, and establish the iust. For thou, ô iust God, doest search the hearts & inward thoughts of man.

10 My defence is in my God, who defendeth the vpright in heart.

11 God doth deliuer the iust, and the same God is dailie angrie.

12 So that vnlesse this wicked man repent, God hath sharpened his sword, he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.

13 He hath also prepared his deadlie weapons, and shooteth his arrowes against them that do so hotlie persecute me.

14 Behold he traueleth with mischiefe, he hath conceiued within himselfe to molest me, but he shal bring foorth nothing.

15 He hath digged a deepe pit, but he shal fal into the pit that he hath digged.

16 The euil that he hath deuised against me, shal fal vpon his owne head, and the hurt that he hath wrought against me, shal fal vpon his owne pate.

17 I wil praise the Lord as he iustlie deserueth, and I wil sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
