Psalme. CXI.
The Argument.
This laudatory is: and thankth Gods gentlenes,
Who made all thyng: and vs redeemd: from sinne and wretchednes.
1
With
all my hart I will: the Lord commend on hye,
Met secretly: with faythfull men: in church eke openly.
2
Full greate be all the factes: of this hye Lord in name,
Most exquisite: and may be found: of them that loue the same.
3
His deede is worthy prayse: most worshipfull I say,
It Glory is: and comlynes: his iustice lasts for aye.
4
Of all his wondrous workes: remembraunce hath he made,
The Lord is good: and mercifull: to Israell in trade.
5
For meat and spoyle he gaue: to them that feard hym due,
So myndfull he: will euer be: his pact and league to sue.
6
His actes great power shewd: to all his peoples sight,
In geuing them: the heritage: of Gentils landes for right.
7
His workes of hands be seene: all truth and equytye,
And his precepts: all faythfull be: in iust confirmytye.
8
Upholde they stand most firme: and euer wyll remayne,
For made they are: by verytye: and equytye agayne.
9
He sent hys people guydes: which them to freedome lad,
His pact he bad: should euer stand: whose holy name be drad.
10
The feare of God is sayd: of wisdome first the way,
Who keepe hys hests: haue wisdome cleare: whose prayse shal ner decay.
