And kepeth his seate as lord and king in his eternitie the lord doth giue his people power in vertue to encrease The lord doth blesse his people with euerlastinge pease Beati quorum psalme .xxxii. God promiseth saluation to the repentaunt hart Of his mere mercy and hys grace not for the mans deserte THe man is blest whose wickednes the Lord hath cleane remitted And he whose sinne wretchednes is hid also and couered And blest is he to whom the Lorde imputeth not his sinne Which in his heart hath hid no guile nor fraude is found therein For whiles that I kept close my syn in silence and constrainte My bones did waste weare away with dayly mone and plainte For night and day thy hand on me so greuous was and smarte that al my bloud and humours moist to drinesse did conuerte But when I had confest my faultes and shroue me in thy sight My selfe accusing of my sinne thou diddest forgeue me quite Let euery good man pray therefore and thanke the Lorde in time and then the floudes of euil thoughtes shal haue no power of him When trouble and aduersitie do compasse me about Thou art my refuge and my ioye and thou doest ridde me out I shal enstruct thee saith the Lord how thou shalt walke and serue And bend mine eyes vpon thy wayes and so shal thee preserue Be not therefore so ignoraunt as is the asse and mule whose mouth without a raigne or bit ye can not guide or rule For many be the miseries that wicked men sustaine Yet vnto them that trust in God his goodnes doth remaine Be mery therefore in the Lorde ye iust lift vp your voyce And ye of pure and perfecte hearte be glad and eke reioyce Benedicam dominum psalme .xxiiii. The prophet Dauid prayseth god â–ª warning vs to forbeare From euil and exhorteth vs to liue in goodly feare I Wil geue laude and honour bothe vnto the Lorde alwayes And eke my mouth for euermore shal speake vnto his praise I do delight to laude the Lorde in soule and eke in voyce That simple men that suffer paine may here and so reioyce therfore se that ye magnifie With me the liuing Lorde And let vs now exalt his name together with one accorde For I may selfe besought the Lord he answere me againe And me deliuered incontinent from al my feare and paine Who so thei be that him beholde and shew him their vnrest He dasheth not their countenaunce but graunteth their request Who so in their afflictions vnto the Lorde doeth cal He heareth their suite without delaye and riddeth them out of thral The angel of the Lord doth pitche his tentes in euery place To saue al such as feare the Lorde that nothing them deface Se and consider wel therefore that god is good and iuste And thei bee blest that put in him their onely faith and trust Feare ye the Lord his holy ones aboue al earthly thing For thei that feare the liuing Lorde ars sure to lacke nothing the mightie and the rich shal want yea thrust and hunger much But as for them that feare the Lorde no lacke shal be to suche Come nere therefore my children dere and to my word giue eare I shal you teache the perfect waye how you the Lorde should feare Whoso woulde lead a blessed life must earnestly deuise His tonges and lippes from al deceit to kepe in any wise And turne his face from doing yl and do the godly dede Enquire for peate and quietnes and folow her with spede For why the eyes of god aboue vpon the iust are bent His eares likewise are giuen much to heare the innocent the lorde doeth frowne bende his browes vpon the wicked traine And cutteth away the memorie that should of them remaine But when the iust doth cal and crie the Lord doth heare them so That out of paine and miserie forthwith he letteth them go The Lorde is kinde and merciful to suche as be contrite He saueth also the sorowful the meke and poore in spirite Ful many be the miseries that righteous men do suffer But out of al aduersities the Lord doth them deliuer the lord doeth so preserue and kepe the bones of his alway That not so much as one of them doth perishe or decay the wicked die ful wretchedly thei seke none other boote And those that hate the righteous meÌ„ are pluckt vp by the roote But thei that feare the liuing lord the Lord doth saue them sounde And who that put their trust in him nothing shal them confounde Beatus qui intelligit psalme .xli. The Lorde wyl helpe that man agayn â–ª that helpeth poore and weake The passyon here is figured and resurrection eke THe man is blest that carefull is the nedie to consider For in the season perilous the Lord wil him deliuer the lord wil make him saue sound and happie in the lande And he wil not deliuer him into his enemies hand And in his bed when he lieth sicke the lorde wil him restore And thou O Lord wylt turne to helth his sickenes and his sore And in my sickenes thus say I haue mercy Lord on me And heale my soule whiche is ful wo that I offended thee Mine enemies gaue me yll report and thus of me they saye When shal he die that al his name may vanishe quite awaye And where as thei go in and out for to beholde and see thei muse much mischief in their harts what so their saiynges be Mine enemies runne against me stil together on a thronge To take a counsaile and conspire how thei may do me wronge agreing on a wicked worde and do determine plaine Be he destroyed with death say they he shal not rise agayne the man eke that I trusted most with me did vse deceyt Which eate with me the bread of life the same for me layde wayte Haue mercy Lord on me therefore and let me be preseruede That I may render vnto them the thinges thei haue deserude By this I know assuredly to bee beloued of thee WheÌ„ that mine enemies haue no cause to triumphe ouer me Because that I am innocent Lord strength me I thee praye And in thy presence poynte my place where I shal dwel for aye the Lorde the god of Israel be praysed now therefore Which hast bene euerlastinglye and shal be euermore Iudica me deus psalme .xliiii.
