Be mercifull vnto me (o God) for men
wil treade me downe: they are daylie
fightinge ∧ troublinge me. Myne
-- --
enemies treade me daylie vnder their fete, for
they be many, þt; proudly fight agaynst me.
Neuerthelesse, wh&ebar; I am afrayed, I put
my trust in the. I wil comforte my self in
Gods worde, yee I wil hope in God, and not
feare: What can flesh then do vnto me?
They vexe me daylie in my wordes: all þt;
they ymagin, is to do me euell. They holde
alltogether, ∧ kepe them selues close: they
marck my steppes, how they maye catch my
soule. But in vayne, for it shal escape th&ebar;:
and why? thou (o God) in thy displeasure
shalt cast downe soch people.
B Thou tellest
my flittinges, thou puttest my teares in thy
botell, and nombrest them. When so euer
I call vpon the, myne enemies are put to
flight: wherby I knowe, that thou art my
God. In Gods worde wil I reioyse, in the
LORDES worde wil I comforte me. Yee
in God do I trust, ∧ am not afraied: what c&abar;
man th&ebar; do vnto me? Vnto the (o God) wil
I paye my vowes, vnto þe; wil I geue th&abar;kes
∧ prayse. noteFor thou hast delyuered my soule
fr&obar; death, ∧ my fete fr&obar; fallinge, þt; I maye
walke before God in þe; light of þe; lyuynge.
