2Have mercy on me O God, have mercy on me: because my soul hath trusted in thee. And I will hope in the shadow of thy wings, until iniquity pass.HAVE mercie on me ô God, haue mercie on me: becauſe my ſoule hath truſted in thee. And I wil hope in the ſhadow of thy winges, vntil iniquitie paſſe.Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei, quoniam in te confidit anima mea. Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo, donec transeat iniquitas.
3I will cry to God the highest: God that hath done me good.I wil crie to God the higheſt: God that hath done me good.Clamabo ad Deum altissimum, Deum qui benefecit mihi.

The ſonnes of men, their teeth are weapons and arrowes: and their tongue a ſharpe ſword.et eripuit animam meam de medio catulorum leonum. Dormivi conturbatus. Filii hominum dentes eorum arma et sagittæ, et lingua eorum gladius acutus.

7They prepared a snare for my feet: and bowed down my soul. They digged a pit before my face: and they are fallen into it.They prepared a ſnare for my feete: and bowed downe my ſoule. They digged a pit before my face: and they are falne into it.Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis, et incurvaverunt animam meam. Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam, et inciderunt in eam.
8My heart is ready O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and say a Psalm.My hart is readie ô God, my hart is readie: I wil ſing, and ſay a Pſalme.Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum cor meum ; cantabo, et psalmum dicam.
9Arise my glory, arise psalter and harp: I will arise early.Ariſe my glorie, ariſe pſalter and harpe: I wil ariſe early.Exsurge, gloria mea ; exsurge, psalterium et cithara : exsurgam diluculo.
