[3]Howe long wyll ye imagine mischiefe against euery man? ye shalbe slayne all the sort of you: [ye shalbe] as a tottering wall, [and like] a broken hedge [No book]
[4]They deuise only howe to thrust [him] from his promotion: they delight in a lye, they blesse with their mouth, and curse with their heart. Selah [No book]
[5][Neuerthelesse] O my soule, stay thou only vpon the Lorde: for my confidence is in him [No book]

[8]O ye people, put your trust in hym alway: powre out your heartes before him, for the Lorde is our hope. Selah [No book]
[9]As for the chyldren of men, they be onlye but vanitie, the chyldren of lordes be but a lye: vpon the wayghtes they [be] altogether [lighter] then vanitie in selfe [No book]
[10]O trust not in wrong [dealing] and spoyling: geue not your selues vnto vanitie, if riches encrease, set not your heart [vpon them. [No book]
[11](62:11a) The Lord spake it once, [but] I haue hearde it twise, that power and mercy belongeth to thee O Lorde God [No book]
[12](62:11b) for thou rewardest euery man according to his worke [No book]
