THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 NOw, I beseech you, why should we feare the force or threatenings of anie man, see∣ing we haue the Lord himselfe to be our King? let the people fret as much as they lust: yea, let the earth wauer, the foundations being shaken, it is enough that he is with vs that inhabiteth the Cherubims.

2 Verelie the Lord hath declared abundantlie the greatnes of his power in Sion, and al the people, nil they, wil they, shal be subiect to his power.

3 Let vs therefore neither feare, nor yet doubt: but rather trusting vpon the most assured protecti∣on of God, magnifie that his mightie and terrible name to the enimies: for it is holie, and therefore al honour is due vnto it.

4 For, is not this our King, as he is indued with most great power, so also the louer of iustice? wherefore we neede to seeke none other succour besides him: neither neede we to doubt, but that he

wil punish most sharplie al them, of whome we are vniustlie oppressed. For it is not possible, that he should suffer their wickednes vnaduenged, who is the authour of equitie it selfe, & hath set downe the verie rule of iustice, vnto the posteritie of Iacob.

5 Go to then, praise ye the Lord our God, and falling downe before his footestoole, worship him, for he is holie.

6 For this cause did he consecrate Moses and Aaron of old, and set Samuel also amongst them, who did exercise the office of the mediator for the people: the which thing whilest they did, carefullie praieng vnto God, they were heard of the Lord. Why then should wee doubt, seeing that same priesthoode is of force, but that we folowing their example, should now also be heard?

7 And also, he did speake to those our fathers of old out of the cloudie piller, vnto whome, because they should keepe his commandements, he pre∣scribed the rites of his diuine worship:

8 And thou, ô Lord our God, giuing eare vnto them, hast suffered thy selfe oftentimes to be paci∣fied by their praiers, although thou diddest not leaue the sinnes of some of them vnpunished that were wicked.

9 Wherefore take courage, and extol the Lord our God with praises, and worship at his holie hil: for the Lord our God is holie.
