Consider me, O lord; and here <​hear​> my cry, o my God; and lighten mine eyes, least I sleep the Death of the ungodly; lesst <​least​> mine enemy say, I have prevaild against him. Those that troubled <​trouble​> me, rejoice when I am mooved; but I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rijoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath done <​dealt​> bountifully with me the fool
The above are the XI, XII, & XIII Pslams Psalm
Psalm 14
<​XVI​> <​XIV​>

And he opened his mouth unto the Lord, and said; behold, all these who say they are thine. The lord answerd and said, they are all gone aside, they are to gether become filthy.

They <​are they​> who eat up my people, they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. they are in great fear, for God dwels in the generation of the righteous, he is the counsel of the poor, because they are ashamed of the wicked, and flee unto the Lord for there reffuge, Then <​they​> are ashamed of the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his reffuge, O that Zion were established out of heaven, the salvation of Israel. O Lord, when wilt thou establish Zion? When the lord bringeth back [p. 85]
