Psalme. CXXI.
The Argument.
As Dauid here: so other king,Nie toward warre: ought thus beginne:
The people than: hym following,
Should wishe hym spede: Gods ayde to winn
Thus comth he in.
2 Canticum graduum.
1
To heauenly hils: I lift mine eyes,In faythfull hart: euen there direct.
Frō whence can els: my help arise?
Gods foes to quel: this cursed sect.
O cursed sect.
2
Let all my help: come whole from GodWho made this heauen: and earth to see:
Though other stray: most far abroade,
His will his arme: my trust shalbe.
My folke speake yee.
368
3
We trust and pray: that God of hostsWill not permit: thy foote to slyde:
But make thee beate: the Paynyms bostes,
He sleepeth not he: that kepeth thy side.
His ayde is tried.
4
For lo he will: not slomber onceMuch more, deepe sleepe: he will repell
But keepe he will: his little ones,
He warden is: of Israell.
We trust him well.
5
The Lord himselfe: wilbe thy shield.The Lord shalbe: thy shadowes bower:
At thy right hand: most nye in field
He will thee keepe: both day and hower.
By godly power.
6
The sunne by day: shall thee not burne,But shine therof: shall cleare thy way,
The moone by night: shall serue thy turne:
Her frory hornes: shall thee not fray.
But be thy stay.
7
The Lord our God: will thee preserue,From all euill haps: from all mischaunce:
The Lord wil saufe: thy soule conserue
He will thy fayth: and fame auaunce.
In Gouernaunce
8
The Lord will keepe: and keepe mought he,Thy comming in: thy going out:
By puissant power: (thus pray all we)
From this tyme forth: the world about.
We haue no dout.
