God

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.

Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.

Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? Selah.

Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?

Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?

But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.

Lord, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?

I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.

Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.

My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.

A Psalme to give instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lord for euer: with my mouth will I declare thy trueth from generation to generation.

For I said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shalt thou stablish in ye very heauens.

I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,

Thy seede will I stablish for euer, and set vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.

For who is equall to the Lord in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?

God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.

O Lord God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.

The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.

Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.

Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.

Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.

Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.
