[verse 3] Sing to the Lord a song most new, with courage geue him prayes: [verse 4] For why? his word is euer true, his workes and all his wayes, [verse 5] To iudgement equitie and right, he hath a great good will: And with his gifts he doth delight, the earth through out to fill.
[verse 6] For by the worde of God alone, the heauens all were wrought: Theyr hostes and powers euery chone his breath to passe hathe brought. [verse 7] The waters great gathered hath he, on heapes within the shore: And hid them in the depth to be, as in an house of store.
