Quid gloriaris. Psal. LII. I. H.
¶ Dauid describeth the arrogant tyrannie of his aduersarie Doeg Sauls chief shepherde, who by false surmises caused Achimelech with the rest of the pryestes to be slayne. Dauid pro∣phecieth his distruction, and encourageth the faithfull to put their confidence in god, whose iudgements are moste sharpe against his aduersa¦ries. And finally he rendreth thanks to god for his deliuerance. In this psal. is liuely set fourth the kyngdome of Antichriste.
〈♫〉〈♫〉dost thou not know, ther is a god, whose mercies last alwayes? why doth thy mynd yet styll deuyse, such wicked wiles to warpe? thy tonge vn∣true in forginge lyes is lyke a rasour sharpe.
[verse 3] 3 On mischiefe why settst thou thy min¦de,and wilt not walke vpright?Thou hast more lust false tales to fynd,than bring the trueth to light.

[verse 4] 4 Thou dost delite in fraude and guile,In mischief, blood, and wrong:Thy lippes haue learnde the flatteryng sty¦le,O false disceitful tong.
[verse 5] 5 Therfore shal God for euer confound,And pluck thee from the place:Thy seede roote out from of the ground,And so shal thee deface.
[verse 6] 6 The iust when they beholde thy falle,with feare wil prayse the lord:And in reproche of thee withal,“Crye out with one accord.
[verse 7] 7 Behold the man which would not take,The lord for his defence:But of his goodes hys god did make,And trust his corrupt sense.
[verse 8] 8 But I an Olyue freshe and greene,Shal spryng and sprede abrod:For why? my trust al tymes hath beneVpon the liuyng God.
[verse 9] 9 For this therfore will I geue prayseTo thee with heart and voyce:I wil set furth thy name alwayes,Wherin thy sayntes reioyce.
