[verse 2]
Suthe as the Lorde redemed hathe, with thanks should prayse his name
And shew how they from foes wet fred, and yow he wrought the same,
[verse 3]
He gathered them forth of the landes, that lay so farre about:
From East to west, from north to south his hand did finde them out.
[verse 4]
They wandred in the wildernes, and strayed from the way,
And founde no citie where to dwell, that serue might for theyr stay.
[verse 5]
Whose thirst and honger was so great in these desertes so voyde:
That faintnes did them sore assalt, and eke their soules anoyde.
[verse 6]
Then did they crye in their distres, vnto the Lorde for ayde,
Who did remoue their troublous state, according as they prayde.
[verse 7]
And by that way which was most right be led them like a guide:
That they might to a citie go, and there also abide.
[verse 8]
Let men therfore before the Lorde, confes his goodnes then:
And shew the wonders, 'that he doth, before the sonnes of men.
[verse 9]
For he the emptie soule sustaynde, whom thirst had made to faynte:
Page 275
The hungrie soule with goodnes fed, and did them eke acquainte:
[verse 10]
Suche as doo dwell in darkenes depe where they of death do wayte,
Fast bound to tast such troublous storms as yron chains doo threate:
