Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  Be merciful unto me, O God, for man goeth about to devour me : he is daily fighting, and troubling me.

2  Mine enemies are daily in hand to swallow me up : for they be many that fight against me, O thou most Highest.

3  Nevertheless, though I am sometime afraid : yet put I my trust in thee.

4  I will praise God, because of his word : I have put my trust in God, and will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

5  They daily mistake my words : all that they imagine is to do me evil.

6  They hold all together, and keep themselves close : and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul.

7  Shall they escape for their wickedness : thou, O God, in thy displeasure shalt cast them down.

8  Thou tellest my flittings; put my tears into thy bottle : are not these things noted in thy book?

9  Whensoever I call upon thee, then shall mine enemies be put to flight : this I know; for God is on my side.

10  In God's word I will rejoice : in the Lord's word will I comfort me.

11  Yea, in God have I put my trust : I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

12  Unto thee, O God, will I pay my vows : unto thee will I give thanks.

13  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling : that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
