Before the first verse

*Unto the end, a psalm of David.* Of the body of Christ, which groans here among the tares, that is, among the wicked, having many things in common with them: to be born, to die, prosperity and adversity: with whom (because it has not a common cause of merits) it cries out: *Judge me,* etc. This psalm is against pressures, lest they too draw us back from God. He complains of the mingling of the wicked, and prays for separation.

1A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
