The .C. xlvii. Psalme.

[Prayse thou the lorde Hierusalē]

Lauda Hierusalem dominum.

Prayse thou the lorde Hierusalē
prayse thou thy god o Sion
for all thy strength stondeth whole in hym
he barreth & kepeth thy gates alone
endewyng thy chyldrē in ye
wt goodly gyftes plēteously

li

blessyng thy cōgregacion
He doth ende we thy borders all
Rounde about the with peace and rest
His prouision for the is not small
with wheate he feadeth the of the best
He sendeth his worde into the earth

Ge. 1. a Psal. 32. b. & 148. a.

Swyftly renneth his commaundement forth

All thynges obeye hym most and least.
Lyke woll doth he cast downe the snowe
Scatrynge the frost lyke as asshes
Lyke morsels of bread his haile doth he throwe
That no man maye byde the coldnesse
with a worde meltynge them all agayne
And leadeth his wynde backe to geue rayne
So droppe the waters downe with moystnesse.
This same is he that tolde ryght well

Exo. 20. a.

His pleasures to Iacob his drare frende

His lawes and decrees to Israell
That they myght kepe them in theyr mynde

Deu. 4

with no nacyon hath he dealte thus

Nor bene to them so gracyous
His godly worde them for to sende.
