O God (my iustyce) that doest heare me, when I on the crye:
And doest set me fre from trouble, heare me mercyfully.
O mortall men, how longe wyll ye brynge my glory to shame?
Howe longe will you loue vanitye, and seke lyes and false fame?
And knowe that the Lorde hath chosen for hymselfe the godly:
And that he wyll geue eare to me, when I shall to him crye.
Synne not, but stande in awe therfore, & examine your herte:
And in your secrete chamber se, you do youre selfe conuert.
Offer to God the sacrifice of righteousnes I saye:
And loke that in the lyuyng God ye put your truste alwaye.
Many men saye, who wyl geue vs wordly goodes and substaunce?
And for to se good fortune & also prosperouse chaunce?
But vpon vs thy poore seruauntes, Lorde lyfte thou vp a sygne:
The lyght Lorde of thy countynaunce that doeth so clearly shyne.
Yet when I sawe the greate encrease, of their corne and newe wyne.

Thou madeste me reioyce in herte, and not there at repyne.
In peace I shall bothe reste and slepe, I shal be ful quyete:
Because thou only art he that doeste me in salftie set.
