A prayse and thankes gyuinge to God for his great benefites. Io. Roffe. psal. 13. lib preca.

MY soule doth praise thee O my God, and all that is within me doth laude thy holy name: my soul doth render thee hūble thankes, & I will neuer be vnminful of thy be∣nefites, for thou doest pardonne all

my sinnes, & hast healed all my in∣firmities: thou haste redeemed my lyfe from death, and haste shewed vnto me mercy and grace.

Thou haste multiplied in me thy magnificēce, after thine anger thou haste comforted me: thou haste showed me many tribulations and aduersities, but in the end thou hast brought me backe againe from the depth of deapnes: thou haste made knowen to me thy wayes, and from me thou haste not hid thy counsels.

Thou arte mercyfull and full of grace O Lorde, slowe to anger, prone and redy to goodnes: thou wilt not alwaie be angrie, and thou doest not for euer holde backe thy mercie: thou rewardest vs not ac∣cording to our sinnes, nether doest thou punishe vs accordinge to our iniquities.

As the father doth pitie his chil∣dren:

so thou haste compassion of vs O God our Lord: thou forget∣test not thy handy-worke, thou re∣membrest that euery liuinge man is fleshe, and that the daies of man are as grasse, and as the flowers of the fielde, which with a blaste of colde winde vanishe away, so as none can fynde the place where they grewe.

But thy mercy is euerlastinge to those that feare thee, and thy ius∣tice remayneth alwayes, so that we keepe thy law and fulfill thy com∣maundementes.

I will extoll thee my God, and prayse thy name for euer and euer: I will render thee thankes at all sea∣sons, and I will make thy name fa∣mous for euer, and longer if longer may be: for thou arte good to all, and thy mercye exceedeth all thy workes.

The eyes of all thinges looke

vppe vnto thee that thou wouldest gyue them meate in due time: thou openest thy hand & fillest with thy blessinge euery liuinge thing: thou preseruest all that loue thee, & no tormente of malyce shall touche them: my mouth shall shew foorth thy prayse, and euery liuing thing shall celebrate thy holy name for euer and euer.

Prayse our Lorde O ye Angels mightye in power, which doe his commaundementes, and are obe∣diente to the voyce of his worde: prayse our Lorde O all ye Armies which doe his will: magnifie our Lorde and lett vs extoll his name in it selfe.

Prayse our Lord all ye his Saints, whose onely name is moste highe: whose onely prayse doth exceede heauen and earth: Prayse our Lord all ye his workes, through all his

dominion in euerye place: euerie thinge that liueth praise our Lorde.
