Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the chaunter vpon the doue of him that was domme in a farre countreye: the badg (or armes) of Dauid, when the Philistines toke hym in Geth. Be mercyfull vnto me (O God) for man goeth about to deuoure me: he is dayly fyghtynge and troublyng me. ² Myne enemyes are dayly in hande to swalowe me vp: for they be many that fyght agaynst me, o thou moost hyest. ³ Neuerthelesse, though I am some tyme afrayed yet put I my trust in the. ⁴ I wyll prayse God, because of hys worde, I haue put my trust in God, & wyll not feare, what flesh can do vnto me. ⁵ They dayly mistake my wordes: all that they ymagyne is to do me euell. ⁶ They holde all together, & kepe them selues close: & marcke my steppes, whan they laye wayte for my soule. ⁷ Shall they escape for theyr wyckednes? thou (O God) in thy dyspleasure shalt cast them downe. ⁸ Thou tellest my flyttynges, put my teares in thy botell: are not these thinges noted in thy booke? ⁹ When soeuer I call vpon the, then shal myne enemies be put to flyght: thys I knowe, for God is on my syde. ¹⁰ In Gods wordes wyll I reioyse, in the Lordes worde wyll I comforte me. ¹¹ Yee, in God haue I put my trust, I wyll not be afrayed what man can do vnto me. ¹² Unto the (O God) wyl I paye my vowes, vnto the wyll I geue thankes. ¹³ For thou hast delyuered my soule from death, and my fete from falling, that I maye walke before God in the lyght of the lyuynge.
