Psal. 146. Lauda anima mea Dominum.
Halelu-jah.
1
O praise the Lord, my soule, as longas life (Lord) lends me daies:
2
Thy praise (while I!) shall be my song,my God, to sing thy praise.
3
In Princes, and in Adams son,whose substance is but dust,
With whom is no salvation,
repose no settled trust.
4
Who, when his prisoned spirit goes forth,turnes to his earth againe:
That day his thoughts are nothing worth
he travell'd with in paine.
5
O happy he, that hath fore-laid,to be his strong abode,
The God of Jacob for his aide,
his hope, the Lord his God.
6
Which made the heav'ns, the earth, the deeps,and what they all containe:
His promise faithfully who keeps,
for ever to remaine.
7
Which judgeth those that suffer wrong,gives to the hungry bread:
The Lord from chaines and fetters strong,
sets loose the captive head.
8
The Lord gives light to lightlesse eies,restores the blind to sight:
287
the Lord the Just loves right.
9
The Lord keeps strangers from distresse,of Orphans is the stay:
Relieves the widow comfortlesse,
subverts the wicked way.
10
The Lord, upon his Royall Throneeternally shall raigne;
Thy God, O Sion, King alone,
shall age and age remaine.
