 The Lord hath heard my petition : the Lord will receive my prayer.

All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed : they shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.

The vii. Psalm.

Domine Deus meus. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust : save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

Lest he devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces : while there is none to help.

O Lord my God, if I have don any such thing : or if there be any wickedness in my hands.

If J have rewarded evil vnto him that dealt freindly with me : yea, J have delivered him that without any cause is mine enemy.

Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me : yea, let him tread my life down vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust.

Stand vp, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy self because of the indignation, of mine enemies : arize vp for me in the iudgement that thou hast commanded.

And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee : for their sakes therefore, lift vp thy self again.

The Lord shall iudge the people; give sentence with me, O Lord : according to my righteousness, and according to the innocency that is in me.

O Let the wickedness of the vngodly come to an end : but guide thou the iust.

For the righteous God : trieth the very hearts and reins.

My help cometh of God : who preserveth them that are true of heart.

God is a righteous iudge [strong and patient :] and God is provoked every day.
