The third part.

 [verse 23]  All ye that fear him praise the Lord,
thou Jacob honour him:
And all ye seed of Israel
with reverence worship him.
 [verse 24]  For he despiseth not the poor,
he tu••neth not awrie
His countenance when they do call,
but granteth to their crie.

 [verse 25]  Among the folk that fear the Lord
I will therefore proclaim
Thy praise, and keep my promise made
for setting forth thy Name.
 [verse 26]  The poor shall eat and be suffic'd,
and those that do their deaver
To know the Lord, shall praise his Name,
their hearts shall live for ever.

 [verse 27]  All coasts of th' earth shall praise the Lord
and turn to him for grace:
The heathen folk shall worship him
before his blessed face.
 [verse 28]  The kingdom of the heathen folk
the Lord shall have therefore:
And he shall be their Governour
and king for evermore.

 [verse 29]  The rich men of his goodly gists
shall feed and taste also:
And in his presence worship him
and bow their knees full low.
 [verse 30]  And all that shall go down to dust,
of life by him shall taste:
My seed shall serve and praise the Lord
while any world shall last.

 [verse 31]  My seed shall plainly shew to them
that shall be born hereafter,
His justice and his righteousness,
and all his works of wonder.
