[verse 12] And blest are they to whom the Lorde as God and guide is knowen: Whom he doth chose of mere accorde: to take them as his owne. [verse 13] The Lorde from heauen cast his sight, on men mortall by birth: [verse 14] Considering from his seate of might, the dwellers of the earth.

[verse 15] Te lord I say, whose hād hath wrought mans hart, and doth it frame: For he alone doth know the thought, and working of the same. [verse 16] A king that trusteth in his host, * 1.1 shall nought preuayle at length. The man that of his might doth boast, shall fall for all his strength.

[verse 17] The troupes of horsemen eke shall faile their sturdie stedes shall sterue: The strength of horse shall not preuaile the rider to preserue. [verse 18] But lo, the eyes of God intend, and watche to ayde the iust: With such as feare him to offende, and on his goodnes trust.

[verse 19] That he of death and all distres, may set theyr soule from dread:

And if that death the land oppresse, in houger them to fead. [verse 20] Wherfore our soule doeth still depende, on God our strength and stay: He is the shield vs to defende, and driue all dartes away.

[verse 21] Oure soule in God, hath ioy and game. reioysing in his might: For why? in his most holy name, we hope and muche delight: [verse 22] Therfore let thy goodnes (O Lorde) still present with vs be: As we alwayes with one accorde, doo onely trust in thee.
