The Argument.
Of Christ to comeAll whole in summe
his raigne this psalme doth preach
How God will bee
In temple free
the letter this doth teach.
1
The earth it is: the Lordes of blisse,wyth all the garnishyng:
The world so round: he hath it found,
and all that dwell therin.
55
2
This earth he cast: on seas so fast,as ouer them to stand:
And floudes he made: for corne and blade,
and eke to part the land.
3
Up who shall stye: on hill so hye,where resteth thys Lord of grace?
Or who shall ryse: in restfull wyse,
to that his holy place?
4
Euen he whose hand: and hart doth stand,in cleannes innocent:
Who sought no gayne: in fansies vayne.
nor othe hath falsly ment.
5
He shall posses: in stablenes,the Lordes sweete blessednes:
Hys God of health: from euen hymselfe,
shall send hym righteousnes.
6
And these be they: which seeke alway,in stocke theyr God in deede:
Euen truely they: who seke I say,
the God of Iacobs seede.
7
Lift vp your gates: you heades and states,ye lastyng dores aryse:
In at this house: kyng glorious,
wyll enter princely wyse.
8
What is this kyng: thus enteryng,wyth glory thus beset?
The Lord is hee: full strong to see,
a Lord in battayle great.
56
9
Arise I say: thou temple gay,though I thee cannot builde:
Yet ioyth my sprite: that God of might,
hys arke shall be thy shield.
