Domine Deus noster. psal. viij. T. S.

¶ Sing this as the third Psalme.

O God our Lord how wonderfull are thy workes euery where: Whose fame surmounteh in dignitie, aboue the heauens cleare? [verse 2] Euen by the mouthes of suckyng babes thou wilt confound thy foes: For in these babes thy might is seene, thy graces they disclose.

[verse 3] And when I see the heauens hye, the workes of thine owne hand: The Sun, the Moone and all the Starres▪ in order as they stand: [verse 4] What thyng is man (Lord) thinke I then, that thou doest him remember?

Or what is ma••s posteritie, that thou doest it consider▪

[verse 5] For thou hast made him little lesse, then aungels in degree: And thou hast crowned him also, with glory and dignitie. [verse 6] Thou hast preferd him to be Lord, of all thy workes of wonder: And at his feete hast set all thynges, that be should keepe them vnder.

[verse 7] As sheepe, and neate, and all beastes els▪ that in the fieldes do feede: [verse 8] Foules of the ayre, fish in the Sea, and all that therein breede. [verse 9] Therfore must I say once agayne, O God, that art our Lord: How famous and how wonderfull, are thy workes through the world?
