Psal. 33. Exultate Justi.
1
Ye Just, be joyfull in the Lord;becomes the righteous praise:
2
Harp, Violl, Voice, and Decachord,to praise the Lord up raise.
3
A new set-song to him endite,loud notes to musickes height:
4
For of the Lord the Word is right,and all his worke in faith.
56
5
His love on Justice he bestowes,desire with Judgement dwells:
Of mercie from the Lord that flowes
the earth with fulnesse swells.
6
The Heav'ns by word the Lord did frame,and as his mouth did breathe,
His spirit made all the host of them
above Sunne, and beneath.
7
The sea he bounds within the shore,on heaps the waters keeps:
As into treasuries of store
he giveth up the deeps.
8
To feare the Lord, all Regions call,on earth, through every land:
And in the world the dwellers all,
in awe of him to stand.
9
For as he spake, the word once past,the worke forthwith was done:
As he commanded, it stood fast,
his word and deed were one.
10
That Heathen counsell is destroi'd,the peoples plots cast out;
And all their purposes made void,
the Lord can bring about.
11
The counsell by the Lord decreedshall stand for ever sure:
The thoughts that from his heart proceed,
to age and age endure.
12
O blessed Nation, whom the Lordto be their God doth blesse:
Blest people, whom his owne accord
hath chosen to possesse.
13
The Lord, all Adams sons to see,in Heaven his station plants:
57
14
All from his Mansion vieweth hee,the earths Inhabitants.
15
Their heart he fashion'd all alone,the cloisters of their thought;
Considers all what they have done,
the workes that they have wrought.
16
Say, he command a copious Host,no King so saves his right:
No Mighty man, whose might is most,
delivered is by might.
17
A rest unsafe to save a mana Horse falls out to bee;
Nor he by strength, strive all he can,
can set his Rider free.
18
Behold, the Lord his heedfull eyeon them that feare him bends:
Upon his mercies safe supply,
whose settled hope attends.
19
When earth exacts her due of earth,to free their soule from death;
To keep alive in time of dearth,
when famine faints for breath.
20
Our soule her hopes assured holdupon the Lord doth build:
Of whose defence we may be bold,
he is our help and shield.
21
Our heart in him shall gladnesse pure,and perfect joy conceive;
That in his holy Name secure
our hopes assurance leave.
22
Thy mercies gifts, O Lord, downe send,on us so free to fall;
As we to thee our trust commend,
to measure them withall.
