As he did cursing loue, it shall, betide vnto him so: And as he did not blessing loue, it shalbe far him froe. As he with cursing clad himself, so it like water shall: Into his bowels, and like oyle, into his bones befall.

As garment let it be to him, to couer him for ay, And as a girdle wherwith he, shall girded be alwaye. Lo let this same be from the Lord, the guerdon of my foe, Yea and of those that euell speake, against my soule also.

But thou, O Lorde that art my God, deale thou I say with me.

After thy name: delyuer me, for good thy mercies be: Because in depth of great distres, I nedy am and pore, And eke within my payned brest, my hart is wounded sore.

Them that be fearers of the Lord, the lorde will blesse them all: Euen he will blesse them euery one, the great and eke the small. To you I say the louing Lord, will multiplie his grace, To you and to the children that, shall follow of your race.

Ye are the blessed of the Lorde, euen of the lorde I say, Which both the heauen and the earth, hath made and set in stay. The heauens, yea the heauens hye, belong vnto the Lord: The earth vnto the sonnes of men, he gaue of free accorde.

They that be dead doo not with prayse, setfourth the Lordes renoume, Nor any that into the place, of silence doo goe downe. But we will prayse the Lorde our god, from hencefourth and foray Sound ye the prayses of the Lorde, prayse ye the Lorde I say.
