1 This pſalme conteineth two partes. In the firſt Dauid ſheweth how harde aſſaultes of tentacions he ſuſteined, & in how great anguiſh of minde he was, when Saul did perſecute him. 4 Then next he reioyceth that God ſet him ſuccour in his neceſſitie, declaring his iustice aswel in gouerning the good, and the wicked men, as the whole worlde.

1.IN the Lord put I my truſt: how ſay ye ^athen to my ſoule, Flee to your mountaine as a birde?

2.For lo, the wicked bend their bowe, and make readie their arowes vpõ the ſtring, that they may ſecretly ſhoote at thẽ, which are vpright in heart.

3.For the ^bfundaciõs are caſt downe: what hathe the ^crighteous done?

4.The Lord is in his holie palace: y^e Lords throne is in the heauen: his eyes ^dwil conſider: his eye lids wil trye the children of men.

5.The Lord wil trye the righteous: but the wicked & him that loueth iniquitie, doeth his ſoule hate.

6.Vpon the wicked he ſhal raine ſnares, ^efyer, and brimſtone, & ſtormie tempeſt: this is the ^fporcion of their cup.

7.For the righteous Lord loueth righteouſnes: his countenance doeth beholde y^e iuſt.

Psalm 11
