[verse 24] How sondry, O Lorde, are all thy workes founde. With wisdom full great, they are in dede wrought: So that the whole worlde of thy prayse doth sounde, And as for thy ryches, they passe all mens thought: [verse 25] So is the great sea, which large is and broade, Where thinges that crepe, swarme. and beastes of eche sorte: [verse 26] There both mightie shippes saile, and some lye at roade: The whale huge and monstrous there also doth sporte.
[verse 27] All thinges on thee wayte: thou doest them relieue, And thou in due tyme full well doest them fede. [verse 28]

28 Now when it doth please thee, the same so to geue, They gather full gladly those thinges which they nede, Thou openest thyne hand, and they finde suche grace, That they with good thinges are filled we see: [verse 29] But sore are they troubled, if thou turne thy face. For if thou their breath take, vile dust then they be.
[verse 30] Againe when thy sprite from thee doth procede, All things to appoint, and what shall insue, Then are they created, as thou hast decreed, And doest by thy goodnes the drye earth renew. [verse 31] The prayse of the Lorde, for euer shall last, Who may in his workes, by right well reioyce. [verse 32] His loke can the earth make, to tremble full fast, And likewise the mountains to smoke at his voyce.
[verse 33] To thys Lorde and God sing will I alwayes: So longe as I liue, my God prayse wyll I [verse 34]

Then am I most certayne my wordes shall him please: I will reioyce in him, to him will I cry. [verse 35] The sinners, O Lorde, consume in thine ire, And eke the peruerse them roote out with shame: But as for my soule, now let it still desire. And say with the faithful, prayse ye the Lordes Name.
