Psalm 125 Qui confidunt
As Sion standeth very firmly stedfast,
Never once shaking: soe, on high, Jehova
Who his hope buildeth, very firmly stedfast
Ever abideth.
Never once shaking: soe, on high, Jehova
Who his hope buildeth, very firmly stedfast
Ever abideth.
As Salem braveth with hir hilly bullwarkes
Roundly enforted: soe the greate Jehova
Closeth his servantes, as a hilly bullwark
Ever abiding:
Roundly enforted: soe the greate Jehova
Closeth his servantes, as a hilly bullwark
Ever abiding:
Though Tirantes hard yoke with a heavy pressure
Wring the just shoulders: but a while it holdeth
Lest the best minded by too hard abusing
Bend to abuses.
Wring the just shoulders: but a while it holdeth
Lest the best minded by too hard abusing
Bend to abuses.
As to the well-workers, soe the right beleevers;
Lord favour further; but a vaine deceiver,
Whose wryed footing not aright directed
Wandreth in error,
Lord favour further; but a vaine deceiver,
Whose wryed footing not aright directed
Wandreth in error,
Lord hym, abjected, set among the number
Whose doings lawles, study bent to mischiefe
Mischief expecteth: but upon thy chosen
Peace be for ever.
Whose doings lawles, study bent to mischiefe
Mischief expecteth: but upon thy chosen
Peace be for ever.
