[verse 89] In heauens lord where thou dost dwel thy word is stablished sure:And shall for all eternitie, fast grauen there indure. [verse 90] From age to age thy truth abideth, as doth the earth witnes:Whose ground work thou hast layd so sure as no tounge can expres.
[verse 91] Euen to thys day we may well see, how all thynges perseuer:Accordyng to thy ordinance, for all thinges thee reuere. [verse 92] Had it not ben that in thy lawe, my soule had comfort sought:Long time yere now in my distres, I had ben brought to nought.

[verse 93] Therfore will I thy precepts aye, in memory kepe fast:By them thou hast my lyfe restorde, when I was at last cast, [verse 94] No wight to me can title make, for I am onely thyne:Saue me therfore for to thy lawes, myne eares and hart inclyne.
[verse 95] The wicked men doo seke my bane, and therto lye in wayte:But I the while considered, thy notable actes and great. [verse 96] I see nothyng in this wide world, at length which hath not ende:But thy commaundement and thy word beyond all end extende.
