Dauid oppreſſed with the crueltie of his enemies, and fearing greater dangers, calleth to God for ſuccour, ſhewing how requiſite it is that God ſhulde puniſh the malice of his aduerſaries. 7 After being aſſured of proſperous ſucces, he conceiueth comfort. 12 Concluding that when God ſhal deliuer him, others alſo ſhal be partakers of the ſame mercies.

To him that excelleth vpon ^"Nehilóth. A Pſalme of Dauid.

1.HEare my wordes, ô Lord: vnderſtand my ^ameditation.

2.Hearken vnto the voice of my crye, my King & my God: for vnto thee do I praie.

3.Heare my voice in the morning, ô Lord: for in the morning wil I direct me vnto thee, and I wil ^bwait.

4.For thou art not a God that loueth ^cwickednes: nether ſhal euil dwel with thee.

5.The fooliſh ſhal not ſtand in thy ſight: for thou hateſt all them that worke iniquitie.

6.Thou ſhalt deſtroy them that ſpeake lyes: the Lord wil abhorre the bloodie man and ^ddeceitful.

7.But I ^ewil come into thine houſe in the multitude of thy mercie: & in thy feare wil I worſhip towarde thine holie Tẽple.

8.Lead me, ô Lord, in thy righteouſnes, ^fbecauſe of mine enemies: make thy waie plaine before my face.

9.For no cõſtancie is in their mouth: within, thei are very corruption: their ^*throte is an open ſepulchre, & they flatter with their tongue.

10.Deſtroye them, ô God: ^"let them ^gfall from their counſels: caſt them out for the multitude of their iniquities, becauſe thei haue rebelled againſt thee.

11.And ^hlet all them that truſt in thee, reioyce & triumphe for euer, couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

12.For thou Lord wilt ^"bleſſe the righteous, & with fauour ⁱwilt compas him, as with a ſhield.

Psalm 5
