The whole booke of Psalmes collected into Englysh metre by T. Starnhold, I. Hopkins, & others, conferred with the Ebrue, with apt notes to synge the[m] with al ; faithfully perused and alowed according to thordre appointed in the Quenes Maiesties iniunctions ; very mete to be vsed of all sortes of people priuately for their solace & comfort, laying apart all vngodly songes and ballades, which tende only to the norishing of vyce, and corrupting of youth.

GEue prayses vnto God the Lorde, and call vpon his name: Among the people eke declare, his workes, to spred his fame. * 1.1 Singye vnto the Lorde, I say, and sing vnto him prayse, And talke of all the wondrous workes, that he hath wrought alwayes.

In honor of his holy name, reioyse with one accorde, And let the hart also reioyse of them that seke the Lorde. Seke ye the Lord, and seke the strength of his eternall might,

And seke his face continually, And presence of his sight.

The wondrous works that he hath don, kepe still in mindfull hart, Ne let the iugements of his mouth, out of your minde depart, Ye that of faithfull Abraham, his seruant are the sede, ye his elect, the children that of Iacob doo procede:

For he, he only is I say, the myghty Lord our God, And his most rightfull iugements are through all the earth abrode. His promise and his couenant, whiche he hath made to his He hath remembred euermore, to thousandes of degrees.
