Then called I vpon the name of the Lorde: O Lorde: delyuer my soule.

Gracious is the Lorde, and righteous, yea [ B] our God is mercyfull.

The Lorde preserueth the simple, I was brought downe, and he helped me.

Tourne agayne then vnto thy reste. O my soule, for the Lorde hathe gyuen the thy de∣syre.

And why thou hast delyuered my soule frō death, myne eyes frome teares, and my feete from fawlynge.
