¶ He prayeth to be delyuered from theym which conspire with Absolom, to the ende that he might ioyfully prayse god in his holy cōgre¦gation.

〈♫〉〈♫〉IVdge and reuenge my cause o lord from them that euell be: from wicked and deceyt

〈♫〉〈♫〉full men o lord deliuer me, For of my strenght thow art the god whye puttest thou me the fro? and why walk I so heuyly oppressed with my foo?

 [verse 3]  3 Sende oute thy lyghte ād eke thy trueth
and leade me with thy grace:
Which may conduct me to thy hyll,
and to thy dwellynge place.

 [verse 4]  4 Then shal I to the altare goe,
of God my Ioye and cheare:
And on my harp geue thākes to thee,
O God, my God moste deare.

 [verse 5]  5 Why art thou than so sad my soule,
and fraitest thus in my brest?
Still truste in god for him to praise
I holde it alwais best.

By him I haue delyuerance
against all paynes and grief,
he is my god which doth alwais
at need send me reliefe.
