[verse 13] As fathers are compassionate unto their children dear, So doth the Lord commiserate his saints, that do him fear. [verse 14] For he doth know our brittle frame, our mould and fashion just; He well remembers whence we came. and that we are but dust. [verse 15] And as for man his days (alas!) do soon decline and yield; He flourisheth but as the grass, or flower of the field. [verse 16] For it is gone and quickly too, when some bleak wind goes o're; And then the place whereon it grew shall never know it more. [verse 17] But unto all eternity God's goodness doth endure; To ages all successively his right'ousness stands sure.

[verse 18] To such as keep his covenants, and fear his holy name; Remembring his commandements to execute the same. [verse 19] The Lord within the heavens high hath firmly fixt his throne; And over all things gen'rally his kingdom rules alone. [verse 20] All ye his angels bless the Lord, ye that in strength excell; That do his precepts with regard, minding his word so well. [verse 21] Bless ye the Lord, O! bless him still, O all ye hosts of his; His Ministers, that do fulfil what e're his pleasure is. [verse 22] O bless the Lord ye works of his, wherewith the world is stor'd; Where ever his dominion is, my soul bless thou the Lord.
