¹ I wyll exalt thee O God, for thou hast exalted me: and hast not made my foes to triumph ouer me.² O God my Lord I cryed vnto thee: and thou hast healed me.³ Thou God hast raysed vp my soule from the graue: thou hast preserued my life from them that go downe into ye pit.⁴ Sing psalmes vnto god ye his saintes: and make your confession vnto the remembraunce of his holynes.⁵ For a litle short time [passeth] in his anger, a life is [spente] in his good wyll: at euening weeping shall begin the night, but ioy commeth in the morning.

⁶ And in my prosperitie I saide, I shall neuer haue a fal: ⁷ thou God of thy goodnes hadst made my hyll so strong.⁸ [Neuerthelesse, when] thou dydst turne thy face, I was troubled: [then] I cryed vnto thee O God, then made I my humble prayers to thee my Lorde.⁹ [Saying] what profite is there in my blood when I go downe to the pit? shal the dust geue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?¹⁰ Heare me O God, and haue mercy vppon me: O God be thou my helper.¹¹ [And foorthwith] thou hast turned my mourning into dauncing: thou hast put of my sackcloth, and gyrded me with gladnes.¹² Therfore my glory shal sing psalmes vnto thee and not ceasse: O God my Lorde I wyll prayse thee for euer.
