Frō al the borders of the earth, he draweth vp clowdes I knowe:
He turneth lyghtnynges into rayne, and maketh the wyndes blowe.
He strake and slewe all the fyrste borne, aswell of man as beaste:
That were of the frye of Egypt where his flocke was oppreste.
He sent forth signes and eke wōders, amyd Thegyptians lande:
So dyd he to kynge Pharao, wyth all his garde or band.
Manye and sundrye nations, he dyd also destroye:
So dyd he kyll right many kynges, moste puisaunt and myghtie.
He destroyed Sichon himselfe, the kynge of Amorrites:
And Og kynge of Basan, wyth all kyng∣domes of Chananites.
And he gaue theyr enheritaunce, & theyr byrthright, I saye:
To his people that it myght be, theyr heri∣tage for aye.
O Lorde thy name is eternall, so is thy: memorie:
Thou shalt neuer be forgotten, thy name shall neuer die.
For the Lorde shall iudge his people, he shall reuenge theyr wronge:

And from his flocke he shall returne wyth a reioyceynge songe.
The Images of the heathen, are of gould and syluer:
The worcke that mans hand hath brought forth, and molten togither.
For they haue mouthes and do not speake, and eies and do not see:
So haue they eares and do not heare, suche worthy thynges they be.
They haue a nose, yet in theyr mouth ther is no breath at all:
They haue no breath to speake to such as do vpon them call.
Lyke whom all such men shall be made, as do make them certayne:
And so shall they that put theyr trust in thyn¦ges that are so vayne.
Ye house of Israell, I saye, preach ye the Lorde therfore:
And ye house and stocke of Aharon, preache the Lorde euer more.
Ye house and kynred of Leuie, ye priestlye nation:
Preache ye the Lorde, O ye that feare the Lorde preach hym eche one.
The Lorde that hath hys dwellynge in Ierusalem for aye:
Must haue his prayse out of Sion, prayse ye the Lorde I saye.
