Psalm. CXXV.
The Argument.
This Psalme commendth: against our foen,Almighty Gods protection:
Yf we in faith: to him can clyue,
No power aduerse: can vs contryue.
In vaine they striue.

6. Canticum graduum.
1
Who stickth to God: in stable truste,As Sion mount: they stand full iuste,
which moueth no whit: nor yet cā reel,
But standth for aye: as stiffe as stele.
Than trust him wele.
2
Hierusalem: with hils is set,Enuyroned: with bulwarkes great:
Right so the Lord: standth round about,
His people nye for euer stout.
Without all dout.
3
For wicked power: with all his tayle,On iust mens lot: shall not preuayle:
Lest rightwise men: should put their hands
To wickednesse: for feare of bonds.
So ny God stands.
4
Do well O Lord: in loues respect,To godly men: though here reiect:
And right vp men: of parfyte hart,
O them embrace: in gentle part.
As God thou arte.
5
But who to wrong: will backe declyne,Of croked drifts: who draw the line:
Where wicked waile: god them shall leade,
But Israell shall ioy in meede.
Without al dreade.
