1    ^noteGreat is God, and hyghly to be praysed: in the citie of our Lorde, his holy hyll.

2   The hyll of Sion is fayre in situation, and the ioy of the whole earth: vpon the north syde lyeth þe; citie of the great king.

3   God is well knowen in her palaces: as a most sure refuge.

4   For lo kinges did assemble, and ^note passe by together: they them selues sawe it, lykewyse they marueyled, they were astonyed with feare, and sodenly in haste they were gone away.

5   A feare came there vpon them and sorowe: as vpon a woman in her childe trauayle.

6   Thou didst breake the shippes of ^note the sea: through the east wynde.

7   Lyke as we haue hearde, so haue we seene in the citie of God of hoastes: in the citie of our Lorde, God vpholdeth the same for euer. Selah. B   

8   O Lorde we haue wayted: for thy louyng kindnesse in the myddest of thy temple.

9   O Lorde, accordyng to thy name, so is thy prayse vnto the worldes ende: thy ryght hande is full of iustice.

10   Mount Sion shall reioyce, and the ^note daughters of ^note Iuda shalbe glad: because of thy iudgementes.

11   Compasse about Sion, and go rounde about her: and tell the towres therof.

12   Marke well her bulwarkes, beholde her hygh palaces: that ye may tell it to your posteritie.

13   For this God is our God for euer and euer: he wyll be our guide vnto death.

Euenyng prayer.
