¶ The .xxv. Chapter. ¶ A thankesgeuyng to God for hys worckes.

A   Thou arte the Lorde my God, I wyll magnifye þe;, I wyll geue th&abar;kes vnto thy name. For þu; hast brought w&obar;derfull thinges to passe, according to thyne olde co&ubar;cels truly ∧ faythfully. noteThou hast mad of a citye an heape of stones, and brought a stronge towne into decaye. The habitation &rhand; of stra&ubar;gers hast þu; made to be no citye, nether shal it be builded any more. Therfore shall þe; mighty people geue glory vnto þe;: the citye of þe; valea&ubar;t Heithen shall feare þe;. For thou hast bene a str&ebar;gth vnto the pore, and a succour for the neady in his trouble. A refuge agaynst euell wether, a shadowe against þe; heate. For the blast of ragyng men is lyke a storme that casteth downe a wall.

B   Lyke as thou bryngest heate downe out of a drye place, so shalt þu; suppresse þe; noyse of alia&ubar;tes. &rhand; The heate is in þe; shadow of þe; cloude: þe; bra&ubar;ch of þe; mighty shalbe brought lowe. And in this mo&ubar;taine shal note þe; Lord of hostes make vnto all people a feaste of pl&ebar;teous ∧ delicate thinges, eu&ebar; of most pleasaunt ∧ deyntie disshes. And in this mo&ubar;tayne shall þe; Lorde destroie the couering, þt; all people are wraped in, and the hanging þt; is spred vpon all nacy&obar;s. noteAs for death, he hath destroyed it for euer. noteAnd þe; Lorde God shall wype awaye teares fr&obar; all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take a w&abar;ie out of all the earth. For so the Lorde hath sayde.

C   And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, note ∧ he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in wh&obar; we haue hoped, we wylbe mery ∧ reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym. For in this mo&ubar;tayne shall the hande of the Lorde cease and Moab shalbe thresshed vnder him, euen as strawe is thresshed vp&obar; þe; gro&ubar;de. And he shall stretch out hys hande in the myddes of them (as he that swymmeth, casteth out his handes to swymme) and with the str&ebar;gth of his h&abar;des shall he bring downe their pryde. The str&obar;gholde also and fence of thy walles hath he ouerthrow&ebar; ∧ cast downe, ∧ brought them to the grounde, euen vnto dust.
