The argument of the cxlvij. psalme.
¶ The prophete exhorteth the children of Israel to prayse God, for that by hym they were
brought home out of captiuitie. He declareth Gods great power, wisdome, and goodnesse,
which appeareth in all his workes and benefites, but especially in that he had set
foorth by Moyses his lawe and commaundementes.
A
1 notePrayse ye the Lorde,
for it is a good thyng:
sing psalmes vnto our
Lorde, for it is a pleasaunt
thing, [his] praise
is to be desired.
2 God buildeth vp Hierusalem:
he wyll gather together the
Israelites that were banished.
3 He healeth those that are broken in
heart: he wrappeth vp their sorowes.
4 He counteth the number of the starres:
he geueth vnto them all names.
5 Great is our Lorde, and great is his
power: his vnderstandyng is infinite.
B
6 God setteth vp the meeke: he bringeth
the vngodly downe to the grounde.
7 Syng ye vnto God with a confession:
syng psalmes vpon the Harpe vnto our
Lorde.
8 Who couereth the heau&ebar; with cloudes:
who prepareth rayne for the earth, who
maketh grasse to growe vppon the
mountaynes.
9 He geueth vnto cattell their foode:
[euen] vnto Rauens which call for it.
10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of
an horse: he delighteth not in the legges
of a man.
11 God delyghteth in them that feare
him: [and] in them that put their trust
in his mercie.
12 Prayse God O Hierusalem: prayse thy
Lorde O Sion.
13 For he maketh fast the barres of thy
gates: he blesseth thy children within
thee.
C
14 He maketh peace in thy borders: he
fylleth thee with note good corne.
15 He sendeth foorth his commaundement
vpon the earth: his word runneth
very swiftly.
16 He geueth snowe [so whyte] as wooll:
he scattereth the hoare frost like asshes.
17 He casteth foorth his yse lyke fragmentes:
who is able to abide his frost?
18 He sendeth foorth his worde and melteth
them: he bloweth with his winde,
and the waters flowe.
19 He declareth his worde vnto Iacob:
his statutes ∧ ordinaunces vnto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation:
neither haue they the knowledge of his
iudgementes. Prayse ye the Lorde.
