Psal. 128.

[_]

writtin in the blew buik

1.

That man that fearis the lorde is blest
& in his uayes ualk euer uill

2.

the fruictis by thee shall be possest
euen of thy handy labouris still
& thou shall blest for euer be
& als it shall be uell uith thee.

3.

thy uyfe shall lyke á fruictfull uyne
remaine into thy house at hande
lyke pleasaunt plantis of olyue syne
thy sonnes about thy boorde shall stand

4.

lo hou that man is blest I say
quho fearis iehoua great alluay.

5.

godd doth from sion hill thee blesse
then of ierushalem holy toune
enyoie the gooddis both more & lesse
euen all thy dayes of lyfe hear doune:

6.

Thou shalt thy childrenis ofspring see
& peace on israell shall be.
