Domini est terra. Psalme. xxiiii. I. H.

¶ Because the grace of God was then to be vttered in the temple, more glorious then before it had ben in the tabernacle, Dauid geueth it a more glorious title, and with exclamation setteth forth the honor ther¦of, styring vs to the consideration of the eternall mansions prepared for vs in the heauens: wherof this was a shadow and figure.

THe earth is all the Lordes, with all, her store and furniture: Yea hys is all the worlde, and all, that therin doo indure. [verse 2] For he hathe fastly founded it. aboue the sea to stand: And layd alow the liquid flouds, to flow beneathe the land.
[verse 3] For who is he (O Lorde) that shall, ascend into thy hyll. Or passe into thy holy place, there to continew styll. [verse 4] Whose hāds are harmles, & whose hart no spot there doth defyle: His soule not set on vanitie, who hathe not sworne no guyle.
[verse 5] Him that is such a one the Lorde, shall place in blisfull plight: And God his God, and sauior, shall yelde to hym his right. [verse 6] This is the broode of trauelers, in sekyng of hys grace: As Iacob did the Israelite, in that time of his race.

[verse 9] Ye princes open your gates stand open, the euerlastyng gate: For there shall entre in therby, the king of Glorious state. [verse 10] What is this kinge of glorious, the Lorde of hostes it is: The kingdome and the royaltie, of glorious state is hys.
