Matthew(i)
1 A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my prayer, O Lord, considre my desire: aunswere me for thy trueth and righteousnesse sake.
2 And entre not into iudgement with thy seruaunt, for in thy sighte shall no man lyuyng be iustefied.
3 For the enemye persecuteth my soule, he smyteth my lyfe doune too the grounde, he layeth me in the darkenesse, as the dead men of the worlde.
4 Therefore is my sprete vexed within me, and my herte within me is desolate.
5 Yet do I remembre the times past, I muse vpon all thy workes, yea, I exercise my selfe in the workes of thy handes.
6 I stretche forthe myne handes vnto the, my soule cryeth vnto the oute of the thyrstye lande. Selah.
7 Heare me, O Lorde, & that soone, for my sprete waxeth faynte: hyde not thy face fro me, lest I be lyke vnto theym that go doune into the graue.
8 O let me heare thy louyng kyndnesse by tymes in the morning, for in the is my trust: shew thou me the waye that I should walke in, for I lift vp my soule vnto the.
9 Deliuer me, O Lord, fro myne enemies, for I resorte vnto the.
10 Teache me to do the thynge that pleaseth the, for thou arte my God: lette thy louinge sprete leade me forth vnto the lande of righteousnes.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy names sake and for thy righteousnesse sake brynge my soule out of trouble.
12 And of thy goodnesse scater myne enemyes abroade, & destroye all them that vexe my soule, for I am thy seruaunt.
