¶ The .xvij. psalme. EXAVDI DOMINE IVSTITIAM. A prayer of Dauid.

A   Heare the right, O Lorde, c&obar;sydre my c&obar;playnte, ∧ herken vnto my prayer, that goeth not out of fayned lyppes.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: and let thyne eyes loke vpon the thing that is equall. noteThou hast proued ∧ visyted myne herte in the nyght season: þu; haste tryed me and shalt fynde no wyckednesse in me: for I am vtterly purposed, þt; my mouth shall not offende. Because of mens worckes that are done agaynst the wordes of thy lyppes I haue kepte me from the wayes of the destroyer. O holde þu; vp my goynges in thy pathes, þt; my fote steppes slyppe not.

I haue called vpon the, O God, for thou shalt heare me: enclyne thyne eare to me, and herk&ebar; vnto my wordes. Shewe thy maruelous louynge kyndnesse, thou þt; art the sauyour of them which put theyr trust in the, from soch as resyst thy ryght hande. B   Kepe me note as the apple of an eye, hyde me note vnder the shadowe of thy wynges. Fr&obar; the vngodly þt; trouble me: mine enemies c&obar;passe me ro&ubar;d about, to take awaye my soule. They are enclosed in their awne fatt: ∧ their mouth speaketh proude thinges. They lye waytynge in oure waye on euery syde, turnynge their eyes downe to the gro&ubar;de. Lyke as a lyon that is gredy of hys praye, and as it were a lyons whelpe lurcking in secrete places. C   Up Lorde, disapoynte hym, and cast hym downe: delyuer my soule from the vngodly which is as a swearde of thyne.

From the men of thy h&abar;de, O Lorde fr&obar; the men, I saye, and from the euyll worlde, which haue their porcion in thys lyfe, whose belyes þu; fyllest &wt; thy hyd treasure. They haue children at their desyre: ∧ leaue the reste of theyr substaunce for theyr babes. But as for me, I wyll beholde thy presence in righteousnes: ∧ when I awake vp after thy lykenes, I shalbe satisfyed with it.
