Into your hands I commend my spirit
(Luke 23:44-49)
1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my let mee neuer be deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
2
Bowe downe thine eare to make haste to deliuer be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.
3
For thou art my rocke and my therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
4
Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for for thou art my strength.
5
Into thine hand I commend my for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
6
I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull for I trust in the Lord.
7
I wil be glad and reioyce in thy for thou hast seene my thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
8
And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
9
Haue mercie vpon mee, O for I am in mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
10
For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
11
I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.
12
I am forgotten, as a dead man out of I am like a broken vessell.
13
For I haue heard the rayling of great feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
14
But I trusted in thee, O I said, Thou art my God.
15
My times are in thine deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16
Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
17
Let me not be confounded, O for I haue called vpon let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue.
18
Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
19
Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!
20
Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
21
Blessed be the for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
22
Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.
23
Loue ye the Lord all his for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
24
All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
