Laudate pueri. Psal. cxiii.

W. K.

YE children which do serve the Lord,
Praise ye his Name with one accord.
 [verse 2]  Yea, blessed be always his Name,
 [verse 3]  Who from the rising of the sun,
Till it return where it begun,
Is to be praised with great fame.
 [verse 4]  The Lord all people doth surmount;
As for his glory we may count,
Above the heavens high to be.
 [verse 5]  With God the Lord who may compare,
Whose dwellings in the heavens are?
Of such great power and force is he.

 [verse 6]  He doth abase himself, we know,
Things to behold both here below,
And also in heaven above.
 [verse 7]  The needy out of dust to draw,
And eke the poor which help none saw,
His onely mercy did him move.
 [verse 8]  And so him set in high degree
With princes of great dignitie,
That rule his people with great same.
 [verse 9]  The barren he doth make to bear,
And with great joy her fruit to rear:
Therefore praise ye his holy Name.
