Psalms

A collection of songs and prayers expressing a wide range of emotions and thoughts on faith.

Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

When I cry, then mine enemies shal turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.
