XXXIII.
1
Joy in the Lord, yee just; prayse such
Beseems as vpright be.
2
Praise yee the Lord with harp; to him
Sing with the psaltery;
With ten string'd instruments him prayse.
3
A new song to him sing;
With a triumphing noise expresse
Your skill, by voice and string.
4
For right the word is of the Lord,
His works in treuth all wrought.
5
Hee equitie affects, and deare
Is judgement, in his thoght.
Fild with his goodnes is the earth.
6
Heavens by his word wer made,
And, by the spirit of his mouth,
With glorious hosts arayd.
7
Seas' liquid waves hee doth collect,
As on a solid heap,
And, in his secreet treasuries,
The deeps in store doth keep.
8
Fear him all earth. Let all him fear,
Who in the world doe live;
9
For, at his word it was, and stands
As hee com̄and did giue.
10
The heathen's counsells hee doth caus
Evanisch as most weake,
And all the peoples' policyes,
Maks no effect to take.
11
But all his counsells (as decrees),
Shall stand establisht sure;
The thoughts that hid are in his hart,
From race to race endure.
12
O happie nation, which for God
Jehouah hath! whom hee,
A people for himselff, hath chuis'd
His heritage to be.
13
He looks from heaven and doth behold
The sonns of men from thence;
14
On all earth's duellers, from the throne
Of his high residence.
15
Their harts he fashioneth alike,
And doth consider right
16
Of all their works. No king is sav'd
By multitude or might;
The strong not by much strength doth stand.
17
A horse a thing most vaine
Is for releeff; by his great strength
None saftie shall attaine.
18
Behold, the Lord a gracious eye
On them that feare him, hath;
On them that in his mercie hope,
19
Ther souls to save from death,
Yea, evin in famine them to feed.
20
On him our souls do wait:
21
Our help and sheeld he is. In him
Our joy of heart is great.
For, in his holie name was still
22
Our trust. O still extend
To ws thy mercie, as on thee
Our hope, (Lord) doth depend.
