The .viij. Psalme.

O Lorde, our Lorde, howe wonderfull is thy most holy name: Throughout the earth? that aboue heauēs thou spreadest out thy fame Thou haste brought strength oute of the mouth of babes and sucklinges yonge: For thy foes sakes, to weken them, that re∣uenge their owne wronge. But thyne heauens I wyl behold, thyne handiworckes I saye: The mone and starres that thou hast made, and prepared for aye. What thynge is mortall man that thou doest him neuer forget: And the sonne of man what is he, that thou doest him vyset? For vnto God thou hast made him litle infe∣riour: Thou hast compassed hym wyth suche glory, and suche honour. Thou hast made him lord of y^e worckes that

thyne handes haue formed: And eke all thinges vnder hys fete thou hast constytuted. Al flockes of shepe and droues of beastes, thou diddest to him geue: And eke the labouryng beastes that in the feldes do lyue. The foules that lyue in the ayre, with fy∣shes great and smalle: That lyue by the sea, and all thynges that passe by the sea walle. O Lorde that arte our Lorde I saye, oure mayster and our guyde: How wonderfull (Lord) is thy name, through oute the earth so wyde?
