BLessed are they to whom the Lord, as God and guide is known; Whom he doth chuse of meer accord, to take them as his own.

The Lord from heaven cast his eye, on men of mortall birth; Considering from his seat on high, all dwellers on the earth.

¶A King that trusteth in his host, thereby shall not prevail; The mighty man, whose strength is most, for all his strength shall fail.

An horse for safety of a man, is to be reckon'd vain; By strength of horse none ever can deliverance obtain.

But lo, the eyes of God attend, to shield and save the just, And all that fear for to offend, and in his mercy trust.

Wherefore our souls have confidence

in God our strength and stay:
He is our shield and our defence,
to drive all darts away.

Now therefore let thy goodnesse, Lord, still present with us be, As we do still with one accord repose our trust in thee.
