The Whole Booke of Psalmes‎#30b

1 Incline thine eares unto my words,
O Lord my plaint consider:
And heare my voyce, my King my God,
to thee I make my prayer.

2 Heare me betime, Lord tarry not
for I will have respect:
My prayer early in the morne
to thee for to direct.

3 And I will trust through patience
in thee my God alone:
That art not pleas'd with wickednesse,
and ill with thee dwels none.

4 And in thy sight shall never stand
those furious fooles O Lord:
Vaine workers of iniquity,
thou hast always abhord.

5 The lyers and the flatterers
thou shalt destroy them than:
And thou wilt hate the bloudthirstie,
and the deceitfull man.

6 Therefore will I come to thy house,
trusting upon thy grace:
And reverently will worship thee
toward thine holy place.

7 Lord lead me in thy righteousnesse,
for to confound my foes:
And eke the wayes that I shall walke
before my face disclose.

8 For in their mouths there is no truth
their hearts are foule and vaine:
Their throat an open sepulchre,
their tongues doe glose and faine.

9 Destroy their false conspiracies,
that they may come to nought:
Subvert them in their heapes of sinne
which have rebellion wrought.

10 But those that put their trust in thee
let them be glad alwaies:
And render thanks for thy defence,
and give thy name the praise.

11 For thou with favour wilt increase
the just and righteous still:
And with thy grace as with a shield
defend him from all ill.
