Psalm XI

I trust in God: to mee why should you say,
'Fly like a bird to mountaines farr away'?
Their bowes and arrowes wicked men prepare,
To peirce the hearts of them that faithfull are:
Euen him whome God hath made a corner-stone
They haue cast downe; but what hath Hee misdone?
God in His holy temple doth remaine,
The heauen of HEAUENS: where Hee doth sitt and raigne.
Upon the poore He casteth downe His eye,
The sonnes of MEN He doth discerne and trie;
The just and righteous men Hee doth approue,
But hateth synners which their sinnes doe loue;
On them He rayneth snares, brimstone and fire,
This is their cup, their wages, and their hire;
The righteous GOD loues him whose way is right,
And on the just His gracious eye doth light.
