¹ I cryed vnto God with my voyce: euen vnto God I dyd make my supplication.² I powred out before his face my cogitations: and I made a declaration of my trouble before his face.³ When my spirite was ouerwhelmed within me, thou knewest my path: in the way wherein I walked they haue priuily layde a snare for me.

⁴ When I loked vpon my ryght hande and sawe [rounde about me] there was no man that woulde knowe me: I had no place to flee vnto, and no man cared for my soule.⁵ I cryed vnto thee O God, and sayde: thou art my hope and my portion in the lande of the lyuyng.⁶ Consider my complaynt, for I am brought very lowe: deliuer me from my persecutours, for they are to strong for me.⁷ Bryng my soule out of prison, that I may prayse thy name: the ryghteous shal compasse me rounde about, because thou hast [thus] rewarded me.
