PSALM LXVII.

Shew us Thy mercy, Lord, and grace diuine:
Turne Thy bright face that it on vs may shine,
That all the men on Earth enlight'ned so
Theire owne saluation and Thy wayes may know.
O let Thy people praise Thy blessed name,
438

And let all tongues and nations doe the same;
And let all mortall men rejoyce in this,
That God['s] their judge, and iust His iudgment, is
O let Thy people praise Thy blessed name,
And let all tongues and nations doe the same:
Then shall the Earth bringe forth a rich encrease,
And God shall blesse vs with a fruitfull peace.
Euen God shall bless vs and His holy feare,
Possesse the harts of all men euery where.
