PSAL. XXXIII.

[1]

Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce:

it comely is, and right,
That upright men with thankful voyce
should praise the Lord of might.

2

Praise God with harp: and unto him,

sing with the psalterie,
Upon a ten-string'd instrument
make ye sweet melodie.

3

A new song to him sing, and play

with loud noise skilfully.

4

For, right is Gods word, all his works

are done in verity.

5

To judgement and to righteousnesse

a love He beareth stil:
The loving kindnesse of the Lord
the earth throughout doth fil.

6

The heavens by the word of God,

did their begining take;
And by the breathing of his mouth,
He all their hosts did make.

7

The waters of the seas He brings

together as an heap:
And in store-houses, as it were,
He layeth up the depth.

[8]

Let earth, and all that live therein,

with reverence fear the Lord:
Let all the worlds inhabitants
dread him with one accord.

9

For he did speak the word, and done

it was, without delay;
Established, it firmly stood
what ever he did say.

10

God doth the counsel bring to nought,

which heathen folk do take:
And what the people do devise,
of none effect doth make.

11

O! but the counsel of the Lord,

doth stand for ever sure,
And of his heart the purposes,
from age to age endure.

12

That nation blessed is, whose God

Jehovah is: and those
A blessed people are, whom for
his heritage he chose.

13

The Lord frō heav'n sees, & beholds

all sons of men ful wel.

14

He views all frō his dewlling place

that in the earth do dwel.

15

He formes their hearts alike: and all

their doings he observes.

16

Great hosts save not a King: much strength,

no mighty man preserves.

17

An horse for preservation,

is a deceitful thing:
And by the greatnesse of his strength,
can no deliverance bring.

18

Behold, on those that do him fear,

the Lord doth set his eye:
Ev'n those, who on his mercy do
with confidence rely.

19

Frō death to free their soul, in dearth

life unto them to yeeld.

20

Our soul doth wait upon the Lord:

he is our help and shield.

21

Sith in his holy Name we trust,

our hearts shal joyful be.

22

Lord, let thy mercy be on us,

as we do hope in thee.
