PSALME 33.

A prayer to God for the graces of feare, hope, and Religion.

REjoyce in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becometh well the just to be thankfull.

2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing psalmes unto him with the lute and instrument of ten strings.

3 Sing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily (unto him) with a good courage.

4 For the word of the Lord is true: and all his works are faithfull.

5 He loveth righteousnesse and judgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made: and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.

7 He gathereth the waters of the Sea together, as it were upon an heap: and layeth up the deep as in a treasure house.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: stand in awe of him all ye that dwell in the world.

9 For he spake, and it was done: he com••••••ded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord bringeth the counsell of the Heathen to nought: and maketh the devices of the people to bee of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of Princes.

11 The counsell of the Lord shall endure for ever: and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

12 Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord Jeho∣vah: and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him to be his inheritance.

13 The Lord looked down from Heaven, and beheld all the children of men: from the habitation of his dwel∣ling he considereth all them that dwell in the earth.

14 He fashioneth all the hearts of them: and under∣standeth all their works.

15 There is no King that can be saved by the multitude of an host: neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

16 An Horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man: neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

17 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him: and upon them that put their trust in his mercy.

18 To deliver their soules from death: and to feed them in the time of dearth.

19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord: for he is our help and our shield.

20 For our heart shall rejoyce in him: because wee have hoped in his holy name.

21 Let thy mercifull kindnesse (O Lord) be upon us: like as we doe put our trust in thee.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, who lovest righteousnesse and judgement, who fillest the earth with thy goodnesse, and lookest down from Heaven up∣on the children of men: Consider us, O Lord,

and let thy grace fashion our hearts, and pro∣duce in our souls such forms and impresses, as may bear thy Image, and seem beauteous in thy eyes, that thou maist be our God, and choose us for thine inheritance. Let thy mercy feed us, thy hands deliver us from death, and snatch us from the jaws of hell: teach us to fear thee, to put our trust in thy mercy, patiently to tarry for thee, and the revelation of thy loving kindnesses, to hope in thy holy Name, and to rejoyce in thy salvation, giving thee thanks and praise with a good courage, with humble and religious affections, all the days of our life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
