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 decreed
shall stand for ever sure:
The thoughts that from his heart proceed,
to age and age endure.

12

O blessed Nation, whom the Lord
to 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 man
a Horse falls out to bee;
Nor he by strength, strive all he can,
can set his Rider free.

18

Behold, the Lord his heedfull eye
on 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 hold
upon 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.
