1 A Psalme and songe of the dedicacyon of the house of Dauid. I Wyll magnifye the, O lorde, for thou hast set me vp, & not made my fooes to triumphe ouer me.
2 O Lorde my God, I cryed vnto the, and thou hast healed me.
3 Thou Lorde hast brought my soule out of hell: thou hast kepte my lyfe, from them that go downe to the pytte.
4 Synge prayses vnto the Lorde (O ye saintes of his) and geue thankes vnto him for a remembraunce of his holynesse.
5 For hys wrath endureth but the twinclinge of an eye, and in hys pleasure is lyfe: heuynesse maye endure for a nyght, but ioye commeth in the mornynge.
6 And in my prosperyte, I sayde: I shall neuer be remoued: thou Lorde of thy goodnesse hadest made my hill so stronge.
7 Thou dyddest turne thy face and I was troubled.
8 Then cryed I vnto the, O Lorde, & gat me to my Lorde ryght humbly.
9 What profyt is there in my bloude, whan I go downe to the pytte?
10 Shall the dust geue thanckes vnto the? Or shall it declare thy trueth?
11 Heare, O Lorde, and haue mercy vpon me: Lorde be thou my helper.
12 Thou hast turned my heuynesse in to ioye: thou hast put of my sacke cloth, and gyrded me with gladnesse. Therfore shall (euery good man) synge of thy prayse without ceassinge: O my God, I wyll geue thanckes vnto the for euer.
