Matthew(i)
1 To the Chaunter by Nehiloh, a Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes (O Lorde) consyder my callynge.
2 O marke the voice of my petition my Kynge and my God, for vnto the wyl I make my prayer.
3 Heare my voyce by tymes (O Lorde) for early in the mornyng wyll I get me vnto the, yea and that with diligence.
4 For thou art not the God that hath pleasure in wickednesse, ther may no vngodly person dwel with the.
5 Suche as be cruell maye not stande in thy syght, thou art an enemye vnto all wycked doers.
6 Thou destroiest the lyers: the Lord abhorreth the bloude thursty and disceatful.
7 But as for me, I wyl come into thy house euen vpon the multytude of thy mercy: and in thy feare wyll I worshippe towarde thy holy temple.
8 Lede me (O Lord) in thy ryghtuousnesse; because of myne enemyes, & make thy waye playne before me.
9 For there is no faithfulnesse in their mouthes: they dessemble in their hertes: their throt is an open sepulcher: with their tonges thy disceaue.
10 Punysh them (O God) that they may perysh in their owne ymaginacions: cast them out because of the multytude of their vngodlynesse, for they rebell agaynste the.
11 Agayne, let all them that put their truste in the, reioyse: yea let them euer be geuynge of thankes, because thou defendest: them: that they whyche loue thy name, be ioyfull in the.
12 For thou Lord geuest thy blessynge vnto the ryghtuous: and with thy fauorable kindnes thou defendest him, as wyth a shylde.
