Psalme 47

all people sing to god uith uoycis cleir
& clapp youre handis youre ioye to shou
for god most hie quho reuerencit is uith feir
is michtie king on earth ye knou
quho as into á fold doth bring us heir
strange people thaime to ouerthrou
god uis
makis nationis under oure feit be traide as nou
or deis.
38

iehoua chusid to us oure duelling place
ue iakobis gloire quhom he did loue
god is gone up uith sound & gloriouse face
uith sounde of trumpettis from aboue
praise god sing sing unto oure king of grace
for god is king of earth ue proue
then sing
all kynde of sindrie songis for his behoue
oure kinge
then lett oure god god on his holy seat
the gentillis both reule & raigne
& lett god of abrahamis people great
uith uilling people thaire remaine
for god by his protection doth intreat
the earth quhich still he doith maintaine
besidis
he most excellis & but mutationis uaine
abydis.
