¹ Reioyce in God O ye righteous: for prayse becommeth well the iust.² Confesse [it] to god with the harpe: sing psalmes vnto hym with the viall, and with the instrument of ten stringes.³ Sing vnto him a new song: do it cunningly, make a sweete noyse with your musicall instrumentes alowde.⁴ For the word of God is right: and euery worke of his done in fayth.⁵ He loueth righteousnes & iudgement: the earth is ful of the goodnes of God.⁶ By the worde of God are the heauens made: and all the hoastes of them by the breath of his mouth.⁷ He gathereth the waters of the sea together as it were vpon an heape: and layeth vp the deepe as treasures.⁸ Let all the earth feare God: let all they that dwell in the worlde stande in awe of him.⁹ For he spake and it was: he commauded, and it was brought to passe.¹⁰ God bringeth the counsell of the Heathen to naught: and maketh the deuises of the people to be of none effect.¹¹ The counsayle of God shall endure for euer: and the thoughtes of his heart from generation to generation.

¹² Blessed is the nation that hath God to be their Lorde: that people hath he chosen to be an inheritaunce for him.¹³ God looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the chyldren of men ¹⁴ from the place where he resteth: he eyeth diligently euery dweller on the earth.¹⁵ He fashioneth their heartes together: he vnderstandeth al their workes.¹⁶ A king is not saued by the multitude of an hoast: a man of great myght escapeth not by much strength.¹⁷ A horse for to saue is vanitie: and he can deliuer none by his great strength.¹⁸ Beholde, the eye of God is vpon them that feare hym: and vpon them that wayteth after his mercy.¹⁹ To deliuer their soules from death: and to preserue their liues in dearth.²⁰ Our soule wayteth after God: he is our ayde and shielde.²¹ For our heart shall reioyce in him: because we haue put our trust in his holy name.²² Let thy louing kindnes O God be vppon vs: like as we haue put our trust in thee.
