Psal. xix.
The heauenis of michtie godd the glorie tell
& of his handis the uorkes spredd out doth schou
day follouing day dois speiches utter uell
euen so the nichtis do scyence make us knou
no uordis nor kyndlie speichis from thaim flou
yett uithout thir thaire uoyce is understand
thaire beames & drauchtes they uith thaire speachis sou
throuch all the earth & habitable land.
& of his handis the uorkes spredd out doth schou
day follouing day dois speiches utter uell

no uordis nor kyndlie speichis from thaim flou
yett uithout thir thaire uoyce is understand
thaire beames & drauchtes they uith thaire speachis sou
throuch all the earth & habitable land.
& for the sunne á tent in thaim he maid
quho brydegroome lyke in glancing braue array
cummis foorthe out of his spousing chalmer glaid
& steadfastly holdis out his course & uay
from furthest pairt of heauenis he rysis ay
& euen unto thaire other furthest ende
his reuolution reachis or he stay
& nothing from his heate can lurke or fende.

Iehouais doctrine upricht dois indure
& dois the soule from trublouse greif restore
his testimonie it is treu & sure
& makis him uyse that foolishe uas before
his statutes all are richteous euermore
reiosing muche the soule that keipis thaim richt
his preceptis als are puire & do decore
& cleir the eyes that fixe on thaim thaire sicht.

the reuerence of godd is passing cleine
& als it dois eternallie remaine
goddis iudgementis euen treuth the self thay bene
& in lyke mainer are thay iuste againe
in pretiousness the fynest golde thay staine
& sueter are then honnie to the mouth
the honnie euen that droppis á sugred raine
& of it self distillis the self at fouth.

then me thy ouin taucht by thaise thingis I say
the quhiche to be obseruid most neidfull be
relieue from blyndest darkeness I thee pray
for quho may knou his uandring but by thee
& als from uillfull erroures keepe thou me
least thay into thy humble seruant duell
then quhole & als most innocent sall he
be from á great defection kept full uell.

& also graunt ô only godd indeid
quhom I do honoure, serue, & loue uith feare
that all the uordis that from my mouthe proceid
may be acceptable into thy eare
& on the thochtis the quhiche my soule dois beare
that thou may looke lorde uith á freindlie face
ô iehoua my rokke that sall me reare
aboue the skyes by thy redeeming grace.
