PSALMES.

8 Fear him all earth. Let all him fear,
Who in the world doe live;
9 For, at his word it was, and stands
As hee coinand did giue.
10 The heathen’s counsells hee doth cans
Evanisch as most weake,
And all the peoples’ policyes,
Maks no effect to take.
11 But all his counsells (as decrees),
Shall stand establisht sure;
The thoughts that hid are in his hart,
From race to race endure.

12 O happie nation, which for God
Jehouah hath ! whom hee,
A people for himselff, hath chuis’d
His heritage to be.
13 He looks from heaven and doth behold
The sonns of men from thence;
14 On all earth’s duellers, from the throne
Of his high residence.
15 Their harts he fashioneth alike,
And doth consider right
16 Of all their works. No king is sav’d
By multitude or might;
The strong not by much strength doth stand.
17 A horse a thing most vaine
Is for releeff: by his great strength
None saftie shall attaine.
18 Behold, the Lord a gracious eye
On them that feare him, hath;
On them that in his mercie hope,
19 Ther souls to save from death,
