THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 HOwsoeuer the wicked freat and disturbe al things, as much as lieth in them: yet reig∣neth the Lord ful of maiestie and power, which thing, the verie sight of the heauens do de∣clare. Neither doth he sit there idlelie, but if we di∣ligentlie consider with how great wisedome and also power he doth gouerne al things, howsoeuer they be disordered by the wickednes of men, he is alwaies armed with those weapons, wherewith he both defendeth his, and brideleth their enimies. For how can he not do this thing? who vpholdeth this huge masse of the verie earth, by his onlie po∣wer, so ballanced, that it can neither wauer to the one part, nor to the other.

2 Therefore is his kingdome much more stable and vnmoueable, as it hath alwaies bin, and shal be.

3 How great is the rage of the flowing waters? how terrible is the roaring of the stormes that do rise vp, and beate one against another?

4 But al these, how lowd sounding and raging tempestes soeuer, are nothing verelie, compared with the infinite power of Iehouah, thundering forth of his high throne, and repressing al this tu∣mult by his onelie becke: and how much more ea∣silie can he calme selie men, be they neuer so out∣ragious?

5 And the assemblie of the saints, which continu∣eth stable now from the beginning of the world, declareth the matter to be thus. For it is necessa∣rie, that the promises made by God, should bee sure, and altogether vnchangeable. Therefore, howsoeuer the world doe sreat, and how great stormes soeuer it do stir vp against thy house ô Lord, that holines ful of most excellent beautie, wherewith thou doest adorne it, shal be euerlasting.
