The Lord doth kill, the Lord doth also save, for He can make alive as well as kill, He bringeth down unto the very grave, and bringeth up again whene'er He will: The Lord makes poor, He also stores with treasure, He bringeth low and lifteth up at pleasure.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; and lifts the beggar from the dungil base, Sets them with Princes in high place of trust, t' inherit thrones of glory in their place: For Earths strong Pillars God alone doth own them And He hath stablisht all the World upon them.

He will preserve the feet of all his Saints, as for the wicked silent they shall be In utter darkness, where are sad restraints from light and comfort in the least degree. For by the strength of man (mans sole indea∣vour) Shall no man in the World prevail for ever.

The Adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in peices by his power put forth: Thunder upon them out of heaven shall He, the Lord shall judge the ends of all the Earth: He shall give strength unto his king appointed, And will exalt the Horn of his anointed.

Let Israel's God that is the Lord most high be ever blest and magnifi'd therefore: And let the whole Earth universally be fill'd with his renown for evermore. And let the people rich and poor together Say all Amen, and praise the Lord for ever.
