[Psalme. CXII.
This doth recite,
The prayses right,
of hym that feareth the Lorde:
Whose constancy,
Lyeth perfectly,
in God by faythes accorde.
The prayses right,
of hym that feareth the Lorde:
Whose constancy,
Lyeth perfectly,
in God by faythes accorde.
1
That man is blest: and liueth at rest: that fearth the Lord most pure,Who hath delyte: most exquisite: to worke hys byddinges sure.
2
No doubt hys seede: shall firmly speede: in all felycitye,These regents hye: theyr progenye: most blessed shall they be,
3
He riches store: in house the more: wyth plenty shall possesse,Hys righteousnes: in stablenes: shall last and still increase.
4
And light shall spred: from darknes drede: to godly mens reliefe,The Lord benigne: aye pitiyng: and iust to ease their griefe.
5
This blisfull man: he pitye can: and lend with diligence,His word and deede: by wisdoms reede: he rightly shall dispence.
6
For moued he: can neuer be: Gods arme shall hym defend,The iust shall sure: in fame endure: till all the world doth ende.
7
At tydyngs euyll: no tyme he wyll: stand dreadfully hymselfe,Hys hart for why: stands stedfastly: he trustth the Lord of health.
8
His hart so great: is stable set: to feare nothyng aduerse,Untyll hys eyes: their lust espies: on all hys foes peruerse.
9
He spredth hys store: he geueth the poore: hys iustice yet abidth,His power shalbe: exalted free: with glory large and wyde.
10
The euyll shall see: and fret shall he: shall gnash his teth and lower,The wicked lust: of men vniust: shall wast and turne full sower.
