Letatus sum.
Psalme. Cxxii.
VV.K.
Dauid reioyceth in the name of the faythfull that God hathe accomplished
his promes, and placed his Arke in Sion, for the whiche he
geueth thankes, and prayeth for the prosperitie of the Church.
I did
in hart reioyce,
to heare ye peples voyce,
in offering so willingly:
For let vs vp say they,
and in the Lordes house pray:
thus spake the folke full louingly.
Oure fete that wandred wide,
shal in thy gates abide,
O thou Ierusalem full fayre,
Which arte so semely set,
muche lyke a Citie net,
the like wherof is not els where.
The trybes with one accorde,
The tribes of God the Lorde,
Are thither bent theyr way to take:
So God before did tell
That there his israell.
Their prayers shoulde together make.
For there are thrones erect,
And that for this respect.
To set forth iustice orderly.
Which thrones right to mainteine,
To dauids house perteine,
His folke to iudge accordingly.
To pray let vs not cease,
For Ierusalems peace,
Thy friendes God prosper mightely.
Peace be thy walles about,
And prosper the throughout,
Thy places eke continually.
I wish thy prosperous state,
For my poore brethrens sake,
That comfort haue by meanes of the.
Gods house doth me allure,
Thy welth for to procure
So much all wayes as lieth in me.
