Those, that are broken in their hearts,Line 3
and grieved in their mindes,
He healeth, and their painfull wounds
he tenderly up bindes.
He counts the number of the stars,Line 4
he names them every one.
Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r:Line 5
his wisdom search can none.
The Lord lifts up the meek, and castsLine 6
the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks,Line 7
on harp his praises sound:
Who covereth the heaven with clouds,Line 8
who for the earth below
Prepareth rain, who maketh grasse
upon the mountains grow.
He gives the beast his food he feedsLine 9
the ravens young, that cry.
His pleasure not in horses strength,Line 10
nor in mans legs doth ly:
But in all those, that do him fear,Line 11
the Lord doth pleasure take,
In those that to his mercy do
by hope themselves betake.
The Lord praise, O Jerusalem;Line 12
Zion, thy God confesse:
For thy gates bars he maketh strong,Line 13
thy sons in thee doth blesse.
He in thy borders maketh peace:Line 14
with fine wheat filleth thee.
He sends forth his command on earth,Line 15
his word runs speedilie.

Hoar frost, like ashes, scattereth he:Line 16
like wool he snow doth give:
Like morsels casteth forth his yee;Line 17
who in its cold can live?
He sendeth forth his mighty word,Line 18
and melteth them again:
His windes he makes to blow, and then
the waters flow amain.
The doctrine of his holy wordLine 19
to Jacob he doth show;
His statutes and his judgements He
gives Israel to know.
To any nation never HeLine 20
such favour did afford:
For they his judgements have not known.
O do ye praise the Lord.
