Psalm 128.
[O blessed they, whose humble harts]
O blessed they, whose humble hartsTrue fear of powĕr divine endues:
Religious soule, that ne're departs
From way which blisful life renues.
O BLESSED man! thy ioys abound:
Thyn house thy cheerful hands shal rear:
And labours iust, with blessing cround,
Shal feeding fruit stil plenteŏus bear.
THY wife, a vine on wall disspred,
In fruitful love hast ioious met:
Thy children sweet, in vertu bred,
Fair olive plants, thy boord beset.
LO thus Gods fear thus gracĕd shal bee:
From Sion deer thee God shal bless:
And quiet home shal plenti see;
And life contented long possess.
THAT all thy days delighted ey
Ierusalems great weal may vieu:
And wasting life it self espy
In childrens children to renue.
O THANKFUL then Gods love alure;
Stil rightĕous life with care maintain:
So happi long maist thou endure;
So peace with Isrăel long remain.
