[verse 11] The heavens are thine and still have been likewise the earth and land: The world and all that is therein thou foundedst wth tay hand. [verse 12] Both north and south, with east and west thy self didst make and frame: Both Tabor mount, and eke Hermon, rejoyce and praise thy Name.
[verse 13] Thine arm is strong and full of power, all might therein doth lie: The strength of thy right hand each hour thou listest up on high. [verse 14] In righteousness and equity thou hast thy seat and place: Mercy and truth are still with thee, and go before thy face.
[verse 15] That folk is blest that knows aright thy present power, O God: For in the favour of thy sight they walk full safe abroad. [verse 16] For in thy Name throughout the day they joy and much rejoyce: And through thy righteousness have they a pleasant fame and noise.
[verse 17] For why? their glory, strength, and aid in thee alone doth fie: Thy goodness eke that hath us staid, shall lift our horn on high. [verse 18] Our strength that doth defend us well the Lord to us doth bring: The holy one of Israel, he is our guide and king.
[verse 19] Sometimes thy will unto thy saints in visions thou didst show: And thus then didst thou say to them, thy minde to make them know; [verse 20] A man of might I have erect, your king and guide to be: And set him up whom I elect among the folk to me.
