- 0. To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid.
- 1. I Waited paciently for the Lorde, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my cry.
- 2. Hee brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the myrie clay, and set my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.
- 3. And he hath put in my mouth a new song of praise vnto our God: many shal see it and feare, and shall trust in the Lord.
- 4. Blessed is the man that maketh the Lorde his trust, and regardeth not the proude, nor such as turne aside to lyes.
- 5. O Lorde my God, thou hast made thy wonderfull workes so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I would declare, and speake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expresse.
- 6. Sacrifice & offering thou didest not desire: (for mine eares hast thou prepared) burnt offring and sinne offering hast thou not required.
- 7. Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,
- 8. I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.
- 9. I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.
- 10. I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.
- 11. Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue me.
- 12. For innumerable troubles haue compassed mee: my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in nomber then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath failed me.
- 13. Let it please thee, O Lorde, to deliuer mee: make haste, O Lord, to helpe me.
- 14. Let them be confounded & put to shame together, that seeke my soule to destroye it: let them be driuen backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
- 15. Let them be destroyed for a rewarde of their shame, which say vnto me, Aha, aha.
- 16. Let all them, that seeke thee, reioyce and be glad in thee: and let them, that loue thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praysed.
- 17. Though I be poore and needie, the Lorde thinketh on mee: thou art mine helper and my deliuerer: my God, make no tarying.
