Psalme WE deserue without dout O almighty God for our wicked offences and infinite sinnes to be seuerely chastised of thee but trustyng to thy great mercy we most humbly beseeche thee that thou wilte not punishe vs in thy wrath nor in thy heauye displeasure We tremble O our good father and be in manner astonied with feare when we call to mynde our owne sinnes and thy righteousnes Do not therfore we besech thee as we haue with our euill deedes deserued throw vs downe to hell for there we shall not be able to sing to thy glory nor to set forth thy prayse Our enemies do gredily desire to haue it so but thou O God looke backe vpon the teares of them that trust in thee make the workers of wickednes to depart from vs. Finally so heare vs that they all may be ashamed confounded that are enemies to our safetie and to thy glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen ⧠Beati quorum PSALME XXXII ¶ Dauid punished with greuous sicknes for his sinnes counteth them blessed to whome God doth not impute their transgressions And after that he had confessed his sinnes and obteined pardon he exhorteth the wicked men to liue godly and the good to reioyce BLessed is he whose vnrighteousnes is forgeuen and whose sinne is couered Blessed is the man vnto whome the Lorde imputeth no sinne and in whose spirite there is no guile For while I helde my tong my bones consumed awaye thorough my daily complayning For thy hand is heauy vpon me day night and my moysture is lyke the droughte in sommer I will knowledge my sinne vnto thee and mine vnrighteousnes haue I not hid I sayde I will confesse my sinnes vnto the Lord and so thou forgauest the wickednes of my sinne For this shall euery one that is godly make his prayer vnto thee in a tyme when thou mayst be found but in the great water floudes they shall not come nigh hym Thou art a place to hide me in thou shalt preserue me from trouble thou shalte compasse me about with songes of deliuerance I will enforme thee teach thee in the way wherein thou shaltgo and I wil guide thee with mine eye Be ye not lyke to horse and mule which haue no vnderstanding whose mouths must be holden with bit and bridle lest they fall vpon thee Great plages remayne for the vngodly but who so putteth his trust in the Lord mercy embraceth hym on euery syde Be glad O ye righteous reioyce in the Lord be ioyful all ye that are true of harte ¶ A prayer taken out of the XXXII Psalme WE are taught by thee O our most good and mighty God that here in standeth the true felicitie of those that be thyne that their sinnes be forgeuen couered and not layd to their charge in thy iudgement Of the obtaining whereof if euer there were neede now it appeareth that we haue greatest neede of it when the calamities of this present time do set our sinnes before our eyes For we feele that thy hand waxeth heauy vppon thy church wherefore we haue thought it best for vs not to cloke our synnes but to confesse them openly before thee and we distrust not that thou of thy great goodnes wilt forth with pardon forgeue vs our offences Wherfore being thine owne we beseche thee at this tyme when we doubte not that thou wilte be founde that thou wilt not suffer thy people to be ouerwhelmed of the vngodly which now abounde like vnto ouerflowing waters Be thou to vs a place of succour refuge in these afflictions Do thou instruct and teach vs the wayes of saluation and whatsoeuer portion of brutish and vntamed lust remaineth in vs do thou with the bitte and bridle of thy spirite so subdue and restraine that we be not for it throwne hedlong into euerlasting destruction And at length O Lord let the sorrowes and miseries be poured out vpon the enemies of thy glory but let those that trust in thee be fenced and defended with thy singuler bountifulnes that they which be zelous louers of thy name and vpright in harte may reioyce in thee and triumphe with perfect gladnes through Iesus Christ our Lord. ⧠An other out of the same Psalme THey are vndoubtedly blessed O almighty GOD to whom of thy mercy thou hast vouchsaued to pardon their sinnes and not to impute to them but to couer and forgeue all the wickednes and misdoing what so euer it be that hath heretofore defiled them We do most certainly know that it is impossible for vs to obteine so great a benefite vnlesse we do first onely see our owne euils and bewray them to thee and poure forth into thy bosome what so euer we haue sinnefully wickedly and shamefully committed against thy law Wherefore we confesse to thee O our heauenly father that our vnrighteousnes is most haynous and that our consciences are most miserably ouerburdened with the weight of our wickednes Thou therefore with thy mercy do now relieue vs and whatsoeuer misdoyng and iniquitie remaineth in vs we besech thee that thou wilt louingly and mercifully wipe it away from vs. Deliuer vs from the miseries hangyng ouer vs instruct vs with true vnderstanding and with thy prudent care so gouerne vs that we do not with euill affections runne out of kinde and become as most folishe brute beastes but that being garnished with thy goodnes we may be cheared with true gladnes and perfect ioy before thee thorough Iesus Christ our Lord Amen ⧠Domine in PSALME XXXVIII ¶ Dauid
