1 To the chiefe musition vpon (an instrument) of eyght stringes, a psalme of Dauid. Saue thou me O God, for there is not one godly man left: for the faythfull are diminished from among the chyldren of men. VP

5 For the calamities of the oppressed, for the deepe sighyng of the poore, I wyll nowe vp sayeth God: and I wyll put in safetie, hym whom the wicked hath snared. VP

6 The wordes of God be wordes pure, as the siluer tryed in a furnace of earth: and purified seuen times. VP

7 Wherfore thou wylt kepe the godly, O God: thou wylt preserue euery one of them from this generation for euer. VP

8 The vngodly walke on euery side: when the worst sort be exalted amongst the chyldren of men. VP
