THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 GO to yet my seelie soule, praise the Lord.

2 For I haue thus determined to bestowe the whole time of my life in praising the Lord, and to set foorth my God so long as I liue.

3 And this praise properlie belongeth vnto him, that we fixe our whole confidence in him alone. For whome wouldest thou rather trust? to princes, whose glorious shew vseth to dazel the sight of foolish men? But seeing euen these mortal men be also borne of mortal parents, that is to saie, hauing neither firme strength, nor stable wil: safetie can∣not consist in them.

4 For euen their life consisteth in their breath, of the which, so soone as they are bereaued, the soule departing out of their bodie, they are resolued againe into dust: and al their cogitations do vanish awaie together with them.

5 But, ô blessed is that man, which trusteth in the helpe of the God of Iacob, and whose whole hope is laid vp in the Lord his God!

6 For hereby it appeareth euen to blind men, how good and how great his power is, in that he created the heauen, the earth, the sea, and al things that are comprehended in them: and his excellent goodnes and fidelitie is herein euident, that he neuer brea∣keth his promise:

7 That he doth maintaine those that are vniustlie oppressed, he feedeth the hungrie, and looseth the prisoners from their bonds.

8 He openeth the eies of the blind, and of such as are vexed for want of counsel, and lifteth vp those that faint vnder the burthen of miseries: finallie, the Lord loueth al that loue righteousnes.

9 The Lord doth defend and nourish those that are destitute of mans helpe, especiallie strangers and trauelers, the fatherles and widowes: but vt∣terlie ouerthroweth them that liue a wicked life.

10 Last of al, other dominions are trulie transito∣rie, and subiect to destruction: but the kingdome of the Lord alone is euerlasting: thy God, I saie, ô Si∣on, endureth for al ages. Praise ye the Lord.
