O praise the Lord. Prayse yee who serveThe Lord. His name praise yee.

God's holie name be blest from hence,Furth to eternity.

From whence the rysing sunne the dayDoth cheerfullie renew,
Til where his task hee ends, all prayse
Vnto his name is due.

High is Jehouah, nations allCom̄anding by his might.
Yea, heauens exceidinglie ar low,
Match'd with his glorye's hight.
5
Who's lyk vnto the Lord our God,Whose duelling is on high?
6
And stoupeth doun, in heauens and earthWhat acted is, to sie.
7
From dust the low hee lifts. The pooreHee from the dunghill takes,
8
And wnto him, with princes, place,(His people's princes,) makes.
9
Wnto the barren to keep housHis favor doth afford,
Of children made a mother glade.
O ever prayse the Lord.
