PSALME CXII.
As the 111.
Hallelu-jah.THat man is blest who feares the Lord,And chearfully obeies his VVord.His Seed shall flourish on the Earth;Their Off-spring happy from their birth.His House with riches shall abound:His truth with endlesse honour crown'd.To him in darknesse light ascends:Mild, gracious, just in all his ends.His bounty for the poore provides:Discretion all his actions guides.
descriptionPage 138
No violence shall cast him downe;No time deface his just renowne;Nor rumours shake his confidence:The Lord his Hope, and strong Defence:Confirm'd in fearelesse fortitude,Till he have all his Foes subdu'd.He the necessitated feeds.The honour of his vertuous DeedsShall live in sacred memory;His Glories shall ascend on high.Th'unjust inrag'd their teeth shall grin'd,And languish with the griefe of mind:Pale envy shall their flesh consume,And all their hopes convert to fume.
