| 1 | Heare the right, O Lord, attend vnto my crie, giue eare vnto my prayer, that goeth not out of fained lips. |
| 2 | Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: let thine eyes beholde the things that are equall. |
| 3 | Thou hast prooued mine heart, thou hast visited me in the night, thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing: I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgresse. |
| 4 | Concerning the workes of men, by the word of thy lips, I haue kept me from the paths of the destroyer. |
| 5 | Hold vp my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. |
| 6 | I haue called vpon thee, for thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare vnto me, and heare my speach. |
| 7 | Shewe thy marueilous louing kindnesse, O thou that sauest by thy right hand, them which put their trust in thee, frō those that rise vp against them. |
| 8 | Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide mee vnder the shadowe of thy wings, |
| 9 | From the wicked that oppresse me, from my deadly enemies, who compasse me about. |
| 10 | They are inclosed in their owne fat: with their mouth they speake proudly. |
| 11 | They haue now compassed vs in our steps: they haue set their eyes bowing downe to the earth: |
| 12 | Like as a lyon that is greedie of his pray, and as it were a yong lyon lurking in secret places. |
| 13 | Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked, which is thy sword: |
| 14 | From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which haue their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: They are full of children, and leaue the rest of their substance to their babes. |
| 15 | As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousnesse: I shall bee satisfied, when I awake, with thy likenesse. |
