David, in distrust of merits, and hatred of idolatry, fleeth to God for preservation.

1 ¶ [[Michtamº of David.]]º Preserveºª me, O God:º for² in thee do I put my trust.ºª 2 [O my soul], thou hast saidºª unto the LORD,º Thou² [art] my Lord:º my goodnessº [extendeth] not² to² thee; 3 [But] to the saintsº that¹² [are] in the earth,º and [to] the excellent,º in whom [is] all² my delight.º 4 Their sorrowsº shall be multipliedºª [that] hastenºª [after] anotherº [god]: their drink offeringsº of bloodº² will I not² offer,ºª norº take upºª² their namesº into² my lips.º
