¶ A prayer out of the fifth Psalm.
¶ A prayer out of the fift Psalme.
1WE fly daily unto thee in our prayers (O almighty God) and do early in the morning direct and lay forth our petitions before thy divine majesty as those who be not ignorant that thou hatest iniquity, and doest marvellously detest sin: whereof, although we may not deny but that we are guilty (for we feel our selves to be laden therewith above measure) yet do we fly and approach unto thee for succour, trusting most assuredly in thy exceeding plentiful goodness and clemency. We beseech thee to pardon and forgive us whatsoever we have sinned and committed against thee, and lead us hereafter in thy righteousness and innocency, least the adversaries of our salvation (in whom verily there is no part whole and sound, but all full of viciousness) prevail against us, let their counsels and devises be of none effect, and cause their force and layings await to be utterly consumed and brought to naught: so that we thy deer and faithful children may perfectly rejoice, whilst thou doest defend, nourish, and compass us about with thy favourable kindness ⟨image 13⟩us with a shield: Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
