Chapter 42

The just invocateth God's sentence against the deceitful, that seek his spiritual overthrow, 4. acknowledgeth his help, from Almighty God the B. Trinity, in whose vision glory consisteth.

1. 1

   A Psalm of David. Judge me, o God, & discern my cause from the nation not holy, from the unjust and deceitful man deliver me.

2. 2

   Because thou art God my strength: why hast thou repelled me? And why go I sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me.

3. 3

   Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and have brought me into thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

4. 4

   And I will go in to the altar of God: to God, which maketh my youth joyful. I will confess to thee on the harp o God my God:

5. 5

   why art thou sorrowful, o my soul? And why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, because yet will I confess to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
