The Psalter of Dauid newely translated into Englysh metre in such sort that it maye the more decently, and wyth more delyte of the mynde, be reade and songe of al men. Wherunto is added a note of four partes, wyth other thynges, as shall appeare in the epistle to the readar.

The .lxij. Psalme.

ONly on God my soule loketh & hath to hym respect: For in hym and in none other, myne health taketh effect. For he onelye is my sure grownde, my salfgard and defence: So that my fall can not be greate through fleshly violence. How longe wil you studie disceyte agaynst all maner men? Ye shal al perishe as the walle, or hedge that is broken. Lord, these men woulde blot out my lyfe, they play the lyars parte. Wyth the mouth they do praye for me, but cursse me wyth theyr herte. Neuerthelesse (O thou my soule) do thou to God enclyne: For frō him only doeth thy truste and thyne onely hope shyne. For he only is my sure grounde, & my sal∣uation: I shall not fall, he is my strength, and my tuition. Myne health lyeth in God alone, my

glorie and my myght: And in the Lord my confidence, & only trust is pyght. O put your trust in him alwaye, ye people of the land: Pour out your hertes before the Lord, in whome our hope doeth stande. As for men they are all but vayne, and delyted to lye: And are as lyght in a balance as is vayne vanitie. Put no truste in mysse gotten goodes, ne serue you vanitie: And when you do flowe in richesse, set not to much therby. God hath spoken this one thyng twyse, wherfore it is certayne: And I myselfe haue heard him saye, that in him strength doeth raygne. He sayde also that in the Lord, is goodnes and mercie: And that he doeth reward eche man, after as his worckes be.
