CXLV.
1
My God and King I'le the extoll,
And blesse thy name for ay.
2
I'le blesse thee evry day; thy name
I'le prayseing be allway.
3
Great is the Lord and worthie prayse;
His greatnes search exceeds.
4
Race vnto race shall prayse thy works,
And schew thy mighty deids.
5
The glory and the honor due
Wnto thy Majesty,
Thy wondrous works, of my discourse
Still shall the subject bee.
6
Thy fearefull acts, so full of might,
By all shall be exprest;
And I indevoir will to mak
Thy greatnes manifest.
7
Thy bounty, which doth passe all bounds,
Men shall in record bring;
And all thy righteousnes alone
Shall celebrate and sing.
8
Most gratious is the Lord; with him
Compassion doth abound.
To anger allways slow, and great
In mercy he is found.
9
The Lord is gude to all; to all
His works extendeth hee
10
His tender mercyes. All thy works
(Lord) shall give prayse to the.
The shall thy sancts, thy servants blesse.
11
Thy kingdome's glory gritt
They shall sett forth, and of thy power,
(Vnlimited) relate;
12
That to the sones of men his acts
Of might may be made known,
And thus the gloriouse majesty
Of his dominione schowne;
13
Whose thron a thron eternall is,
And whose dominione
From generatione shall endure
To generatioune.
14
His weak ones, all that fall, the Lord
Vpholdeth by the hand;
And all that ar bow'd doune, to strenth
Restor'd, hee straght maks stand.
15
The eyes of all things do look vp,
All (Lord) on thee depend;
Thow wnto evry one their food
Dost in due seasoun sende.
16
Thy hand thow openest, whence to all
Thow dost aboundance bring,
That satisfyd is the desyre
Of evry liveing thing.
17
Just is the Lord in all his wayes;
He holy is in all
18
His works. The Lord to all is neare
That doe vpon him call.
19
To all that call on him in treuth,
Who feare him, what they crave
Hee will acomplisch. When they cry
Them he will heare and save.
20
In saifty, scheilded by the Lord,
Ar all that do him love;
Bot all the wicked, quyte cutt off,
His wrath's effects shall prove.
21
My mouth the prayses of the Lord
Shall publisch and proclaime.
And let all flesch for ever blesse
And laud his holy name.
