The second Part.

[verse 11] All kings shall seek, with one accord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in his good grace to stand: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And all the people of the world 〈♫〉〈♫〉 shall serve him at his hand. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 12] For he the needy sort doth save, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that unto him do call: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And eke the simple folk that have 〈♫〉〈♫〉 no help of man at all. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 13] He taketh pity on the poor, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that are with need opprest: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 He doth preserve them evermore, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and bring their soul to rest. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 14] He shall redeem their lives from dread, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 from fraud, from wrong, from might: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And eke the blood that they shall bleed 〈♫〉〈♫〉 is precious in his sight. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 15] But he shall live, and they shall bring 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to him of Saba's gold: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 He shall be honoured as a King, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and daily be extol'd. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 16] The mighty mountains of his land 〈♫〉〈♫〉 of corn shall bear such throng: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 That it like cedar-trees shall stand 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in Libanus full long. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 17] Their cities eke full well shall speed, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the fruits thereof shall pass: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 In plenty it shall far exceed, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and spring as green as grass. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 18] For ever they shall praise his Name, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 while that the sun is light: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And think them happy through the same, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 all folk shall bless his might. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 19] Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to Israels, God each one: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 For he doth ev'ry wondrous things, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 yea he himself alone. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 20] And blessed be his holy Name 〈♫〉〈♫〉 all times eternally: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 That all the earth may praise the same, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Amen, Amen, say I. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
