8 How good the Lord is, tast and see.
O highlie happie they
9 That in him trust! 9. Him fear, his saincts,
For them no wants dismay
10 That do him fear. 10. Young lions lack,
Them penury may daunt;
But who sinceerlie seek the Lord,
No needfull good shall want.
11 Come children, hearken yee, for I
The Lord’s fear will you teach.
12 What man is good and many dayes
Desyres his lyfe to reach ?
13 From evil do thy tongue refraine ;
Guile in thy lips eschew.
14 Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and peace persue.
15 The Lord the Righteous eyes ; their cry
Doth in his eare find place.
16 ’Gainst evil men, their names from earth
To sweep, hee setts his face.
1 7 The Righteous cry, Hee hears; hence peace
They from their troubles have.
18 Nigh to the brocken heart hee is,
And souls contrite doth save.
19 Great are the greevs of godlie men,
In number they exceed;
But from them all the Lord doth send
Releef, as Hee sees need.
20 Their bones hee keeps; that none of them
Be brocken, hee doth care.
Them (certainlie) shall evil slay,
Who evil doers are.
