Plal. 75. Confitebimur tibi.
Ad Præstantem. Ne corrumpas. Psalmus Asaphi, Canticum.
1
To thee, O God, our thankes confesse,thy praise we celebrate;
And neere to us thy Names accesse,
thy wondrous workes relate.
2
When time shall bring about the day,that I the Rule receive:
With Justice will I guide the way,
and righteous Judgement give.
3
The earth, and earths in-dwellers all,dissolv'd, and downe are cast:
Her shaken fabricke, from to fall,
her pillars I set fast.
4
To mad-proud fooles I said, Beware,let folly be forborne;
And to the wicked, Have a care,
ye lift not up the Horne.
5
Fooles, heave not up your Horne on hie,lest Heaven your Antliers checke:
Your words on lowly wing let flie,
not with a stiffe-borne necke.
6
For, neither from the East nor West,nor Hills, high-callings come:
But God the Judge, “Some humbleth best,
“Exalteth other some.
7
For, in his hand the Lord doth bearea cup, whose wine is red;
And full of mixture is the Mere
by him distributed.
144
on earth, the wicked all,
Wring-out the dregs, and drinke them up,
depriv'd of mercy shall.
8
But I, for ever will declare,and Hymnes of gladnesse bring:
Which I, for praises shall prepare,
to Jacobs God to sing.
9
And of the wicked, every horne,I from their heads will rend:
When high shall every beame be borne,
that forth the Just shall send.
