¹ Reioyce in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.² Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.³ Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.⁴ For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.⁵ He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.⁶ By the worde of the Lorde were the heauens made, & all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.⁸ Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.⁹ For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.¹⁰ The Lorde breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.¹¹ The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.

¹² Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.¹³ The Lorde looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.¹⁴ From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.¹⁵ He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.¹⁶ The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.¹⁷ A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.¹⁸ Beholde, the eye of the Lorde is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, yt trust in his mercie,¹⁹ To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.²⁰ Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.²¹ Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.²² Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
