Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of Dauid on Michtam. When he fled from Saul in the caue. Haue mercie vpon me, O God, haue mercie vpon me: for my soule trusteth in thee, and in the shadowe of thy wings wil I trust, till these afflictions ouerpasse.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

He will send from heauen, and saue me from the reproofe of him that would swallowe me. Selah. God wil send his mercy, and his trueth.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

My soule is among lions: I lie among the children of men, that are set on fire: whose teeth are speares and arrowes, & their tongue a sharpe sworde.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauen, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

They haue layd a net for my steps: my soule is pressed downe: they haue digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the mids of it. Selah.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Mine heart is prepared, O God, mine heart is prepared: I will sing and giue prayse.

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

Awake my tongue, awake viole & harpe: I wil awake early.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the cloudes.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glory be vpon all the earth.
