CXI.

1

Prayse yee the Lord! My hart to prayse
I whollie will applie.
Him midst the preasse, evin where the saincts
Assemble, prayse will I.

2

Great are his acts, soght out of all
That therein tak delight.

3

Most glorious, most majestick all
His works in all men's sight.

4

His righteousnes endures for ay.
His wonders deep in minde
To be lay'd vp hee maks. The Lord
Most gracious is and kinde.

5

Who feare him furnischt are with food,
And from his hand do gett
What neidfull is. His covenant
Hee nevir doth forgett.

6

The powar of his actes hee hath
Made to his people knowne,
In giveing the inheritance
Of heathens to his owne.

7

Judgement and strenth his hands haue wrought.
All his decries are sure;

8

In vprightnesse and veritie
Done, they for ay endure.

9

Redeem'd hee hath his people, firme
His couenant to his
For euer hee hath made: His name
Holie and dreadfull is.

10

First wisdome is to feare the Lord,
And wisest are all they,
That walk in his comandements.
His prayse endurs for ay.
