A   My ^note songe shalbe all waye of the louynge kyndnesse of the Lorde, wyth my mouth wyll I euer be shewynge thy trueth from one generacyon to another.

For I haue sayde: mercy shalbe set vp for euer, thy trueth shalt thou stablysh in the heauens. ^noteI haue made a couenaunt wyth my chosen, I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruaunt. ^noteThy sede wyll I stablysh for euer, and set vp thy trone from one generacyon to another. Selah. O Lorde ^note the very heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worckes, ∧ thy trueth in the congregacyon of the saynctes. B   For who is he am&obar;ge the cloudes, that shall be compared vnto the Lorde? And ^note what is he am&obar;ge the goddes, that shalbe lyke vnto the Lorde?

God is very greatly to be feared in the councell of the sayntes and to be had in reuerence of all them that are aboute hym.

O Lord God of Hostes, who is lyke vnto the? thy trueth (most myghtie lord) is on euery syde. ^noteThou rulest the ragynge of the see, thou stillest the waues therof, when they aryse. Thou hast subdued Egypte and destroyed it, thou hast scatred thyne enemyes abroad wyth thy myghtie arme. The heauens are thyne, the earth also is thyne: thou hast layed the foundacy&obar; of the ro&ubar;de worlde, and all that therin is. C   Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Herm&obar; shall reioyse in thy name. Thou hast a myghtie arme, stronge is thy h&abar;de, and hye is thy ryght hande. Ryghteousnes and equite is the habitacyon of thy seate, mercy and trueth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people (O Lorde) that can reioyse in the: they shall walke in the lyght of thy countenaunce. Theyr delyte shalbe daylye in thy name, ∧ in thy ryghteousnesse shall they make theyr boast. For thou art the glory of theyr strength, ∧ in thy louynge kyndnesse þu; shalt lyft vp oure hornes. For the ^note Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge. D   Thou spakest somtyme in vysy&obar;s vnto thy saynctes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vp&obar; one that is myghty, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people. ^noteI haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: with my holy oyle haue I anoynted him. My h&abar;d shall holde hym fast, and myne arme shall strengthen hym:The enemye shall not be able to do hym violence, the sonne of wickednesse shall not hurte hym. I shall smyte downe hys foes before hys face, and plage th&ebar; that hate hym. My trueth also and my mercy shalbe wyth hym, and in my name shall hys horne be exalted. ^noteI wyll set hys dominion also in the see, and hys ryght h&abar;de in the floudes. He shall call me: thou art my father, my God, ∧ my stronge saluaci&obar;. And I wyll make hym my fyrst borne, hyer then the kynges of the earth. E   My mercy wyll I kepe for hym for euermore, ∧ my couenaunt shall stande fast wyth hym. Hys sede also wyll I make to endure for euer, and hys trone as the dayes of heauen. But yf hys chyldren forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgementes. ^noteIf they breake my statutes and kepe not my commaundementes.

^noteI wyll vyset theyr offences with the rod and theyr synne wyth scourges.

Neuerthelesse, my louynge kyndnesse will I not vtterly take from hym, ner suffre my trueth to fayle. My couenaunt wyll I not breake, nor alter the thinge that is gone out of my lyppes. I haue sworne once by my holynesse, that ^note I wyll not fayle Dauid.

F   Hys sede shall endure for euer, and hys seate is lyke ^note as the sunne before me.

He shall stande fast for euermore as the moone, and &rhand; as the faythfull wytnesse in heauen. Selah:But þu; hast abhorred ∧ forsak&ebar; thyne anoynted, ∧ art displeased at h&ibar;.

Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy serua&ubar;t, cast his crowne to the gro&ubar;de.

^noteThou hast ouerthrowne all hys hedges, and broken downe hys stronge holdes.

All they that go by, spoyle hym, and he is become a rebuke vnto hys neyghboures.

Thou hast set vp the ryght hande of hys enemyes: ∧ made all hys aduersaryes to reioyce. Thou hast taken awaie the edge of his swearde: ∧ geuest hym not victory in the battayle. Thou hast put out his glory, ∧ cast his trone downe to the gro&ubar;de. The dayes of his youth hast thou shortened: and couered him &wt; dishonoure. G   Selah. Lorde, howe longe wilt thou hid thy selfe? for euer? and shall thy wrath burne lyke fyre?

O rem&ebar;bre, how shorte my tyme is, wherfore hast þu; made all m&ebar; for naught? ^noteWhat man is he that lyueth, &abar;d shall not se death? and shall he deliuer his awne soule from the hande of hell? Selah. Lorde, where are thy olde louyng kyndnesses, which thou sworest vnto Dauid in thy treuth? Remember (Lorde) the rebuke þt; thy seruauntes haue ∧ how I do beare &ibar; my bosome thy rebukes of many people. Wher with thyne enemies haue blasphemed the, &abar;d sclaunder the fotesteppes of thyne anoynted. Praysed be the Lord for euermore: Amen: Amen.
