Psalme. 95.

O come let vs sing vnto the Lord: let vs hartily reioyce in the strength of our saluation. Let vs come before his presence with thanks geuing: and shew our selues glad in him with Psalms. For the Lord is a great God: and a great king aboue all Gods. In his hand are all the corners of the earth: and the strēgth of the hils is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands prepared


23

the dry land. O come let vs worship & fall down: and kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture, & the sheep of his hands. Today if ye will heare his voyce, harden not your hartes: when your fathers tempted me: prouoked me, & saw my works. Fortie yeares long was I greeued with this generation, and sayd: it is a people that do erre in their harts, for they haue not knowne my wayes. Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest. Glory be to the father, and so ye sonne,

[23]

and to the holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and euer shall be, world without end, Amen, world without end, Amen.
