2 Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where is now their God?
3 As for our God, he is in heaven: he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
4 Their idols are silver and gold: even the worke of mens hands.
5 They haue mouthes and speake not: eyes haue they and see not.
6 They have eares and heare not: noses haue they and smell not.
7 They haue hands and handle not, feet haue they and walke not: neither speake they through their throat.
8 They that make them, are like unto them: and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9 But thou house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their succour and defence.
10 Yee house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
11 Yee that feare the Lord, put your trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
12 The Lord hath been mindfull of us, and he shall blesse us: euen he shall blesse the house of Israel, he shall blesse the house of Aaron.
13 He shall blesse them that feare the Lord: both small and great.
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more: you and your children.

15 Yee are the blessed of the Lord: which made heauen and earth.
16 All the whole heauens are the Lords: the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not thee, O Lord: neither all they that go down into the silence.
18 But we will praise the Lord: from this time forth for euermore. Praise the Lord.
The Prayer.
O Lord God omnipotent, whose seat is in Heaven, and thou hast done whatsoever pleased thee in Heaven and earth, give us thy grace, that in all our troubles we may make thee our Succour and Defence, and put our trust in thee onely, that we receiving thy mercies and the satisfaction of all our hopes from thy plenteous∣nesse and loving kindnesse, we may give praise unto thy Name, never ascribing to our selves any honour, or the glorie and thankes of any good acti∣on or prosperous successe, but to thee who art the Authour and Giver of all good things. Preserve us from all dangers of idolatrie, from worship∣ping or loving any vain imaginations, and making any thing to be our confidence besides thee our God, that so thou mayest be mindfull of us, and blesse us in all our wayes, and when we die and

go down into the silence, we may have our porti∣on amongst the blessed of the Lord, in the inheri∣tance of thy Kingdome, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
