Confitebimur tibi deus. Psalm. lxxv. N.

¶ The faythfull doo prayse the name of the Lord, whiche shall come to iudge at the time appoynted, when the wicked shal be put to confusi∣on, and drynke of the cup of his wrath, theyr prayer shall be abated, & the righteous shall be exaited to honor.

VNto the God we will geue thankes, * 1.1 we will geue thankes to thee: Sith thy name is so nere, declare, thy wondrous workes will we. [verse 2] I will vprightly iudge, when get, conuenient tyme I may. The earth is weake and all therin: but I her pillers stay.

[verse 3] I did to thee mad people say, deale not furiouslye: And vnto the vngodliones, set not your hornes so hie. [verse 4] I sayd vnto them, set not vp, your taysed hornes on hye, And see that you doo with stiffe neck, not speake presumptuously.

[verse 5] For neyther from the eastern part, nor from the westernside, Nor from forsaken wildernes, protection doth procede. [verse 6] For why the Lorde our God, he is, the righteous iudge alone: He putteth downe the one, and sets another in the throne.

[verse 7] For why? a cup of myghtye wyne, is in the hand of God:

And all the myghtye wyne therin, himself doth poure abrode. [verse 8] As for the lees and filthy dregges, that doo remayne of it. The wicked of the earth shall drinke, and suck them euery whyt.

[verse 9] But I will talke of God (I say) of Iacobs God therfore: And will not cease to celebrate, his prayse for euermore. [verse 10] In sunder breake the hornes of all, vngodly men will I: But then the hornes of righteous men, shalbe exalted hye.

Gloria patri.

To father, sonne, and holy ghost, all glory be therfore: As in beginning was, is now, and shalbe euermore.
