Bow unto mee thine Bare, fpeedily rid me : be thou tome for a rock of firme flrength, for a houfe offorueffes, to 4 rave me. For thou art my firme rocke and my fortreffe , and for thy Names fake wilt 5 guide me and leadme. Thou wilt bring me forth out of the net that they have hid for 6 =for thou art my firme ftrength. Into thy hand doe I commit my fpirit ; thou haft re- 7 deemed me, Jehovah,God oftruth. I have hated them that obferve vanities of vain fal- 8 (hood ; and I, unto Jehovah doe I truft. wil be glad and rejoyce in thy mercie,which haft ken my aflliûtion,haft known myfoule 9 in diltreffes. And haft not Phut me up in the hand ofthe eneemie, haft made my feet (land ro in a large roomth. Be gracious to me,Jeho- vah,fordiftreffe 16 on me: gnawne is with in- dignation mine eye,my foule, and my belly, For my life is quite fpent with penfiveneffe, &my yeeres with fighing: my able ftrength is decayed with my iniquitie; and my bones 12 are gnawne. With all my diftreffers I am a reproach, and to myneighbours vehement- ly, and a dread to my khowne acquaintance; 13 feeing mein the ftreet they fled from me.

Make thy face ro thineupon thy fervant; fave me through thy 18 mercie. Jehovah, let me not beàbafhed,for I doe call upon thee; let the wicked be aba- 19 flied, let them be filenced to hell. Let the lips of fal(hood be mute, that fpeake againft the juft an hard wordin'haughtineffe and de- an fpight. How much is thy goodneffe, which thou haft laid up for them that feare thee, hail wrought for them that hope forfafety 2 t in thee before the Eons of Adam! Thou kee_ peel them ferret , in the ferret of thy face, from the rough prides of man; dolt lay them up in a pavilicn from the firife of tongues. 22 Bleífed be Jehovah, for he bath made mar. vellous his mercie tome in a citie of (bong 23 defence. And I Paid in my haflening away,( , am cut downe from before thine eyes; . yet II certainly thou heardeft the voice ót my fup- plications for grace, when I cried out unto thee.
