¶ The .ciii. Psalme. BENEDIC ANIMA MEA. Of Dauid.

A    notePrayse the Lord, O my soule, and all that is &wt;in me prayse his holy name.

Prayse the Lorde, O my soule, and forget not all hys benefytes. Whych forgeueth all thy synne, ∧ healeth all thyn infirmities. Which saueth thy lyfe from destruccyon, and crowneth the with mercy &abar;d louynge kyndnesse. Whych satisfyeth thy mouth wyth good thynges, makyng the yonge and lusty as an Aegle. The Lorde executeth ryghteousnesse and iudgment, B   for all them that are oppressed with wronge.

-- --

He shewed hys wayes vnto Moses, hys worckes vnto the chyldren of Israel.

noteThe Lord is full of c&obar;passyon ∧ mercy, longe sufferyng, and of great goodnesse.

He will not allwaye be chydynge, nether kepeth he his anger for euer. He hath not dealt with vs after oure synnes, ner rewarded vs according to oure wyckednesses.

noteFor loke how hye the heauen is in comparison of the earth, so greate is hys mercy also towarde th&ebar; þt; feare him. Loke how wyde also the east is from the west, so farre hath he set oure synnes from vs. Yee like as a father pitieth his awne children, eu&ebar; so is the Lorde mercyfull vnto th&ebar; þt; feare him.

C   For he knoweth wherof we be made, note he rem&ebar;breth þt; we are but dust. The dayes of man are but as grasse, for he florisheth as a floure of the felde. For as soone as the wynde goeth ouer it, it is gone, and þe; place therof shall knowe it nomore. But the mercyful goodnesse of þe; Lorde endureth for euer ∧ euer, vpon them that feare him, ∧ hys ryghteousnesse vpon chylders chyldren.

Eu&ebar; vpon soch as kepe his couenaunt, ∧ thincke vpon hys commaundementes to do them. The Lord hath prepared hys seate in heauen, &abar;d kis kyngdome ruleth ouer all.

O prayse the Lorde ye angels of his, ye þt; excell in strength: ye that fulfyll his c&obar;ma&ubar;dement, ∧ herken vnto the voyce of his wordes. O prayse the Lord all ye his Hostes, ye seruauntes of his, that do his pleasure.

O speake good of þe; Lord all ye workes of his, in all places of his dominion: prayse thou the Lorde, O my soule.
