I Y foule,bleifc thou Jehovah; Jeho- \/! ! vah, my God,thou art ve-emently great : thou araieft thy felfe with 2 Majefly and comely honour. Decking him - felfe with light as with a garment ftretching out the heavens as a curtaine. Planchering his lofts in the waters,making the clouds his Chariot, walking upon the wings of the wind. Making his Angels fpirits , his Mini- stiers a flaming fire. Hee bath founded the earth upon her bafes, it (hall not be moved 6 far ever and aye. Thou coveredit it with the deepe as with a raiment,the waters ftood a- 7 hove the mountaines. At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hafted 8 away. The mountaines they went tip , the vallies they went downeto the place which thou founder} for them. Thou dicta feta bound, they (hall not paffe,they (hall not te- r o turne to cover the earth. That fendeth wel- fpringsin the vallies, they walkebetweehe the mountaines. They give drinke to all the wild beafis of the field, the wild affes break their thirst. By them the fowle of the Hea- ven dwelleth, from betweene the branches 13 they give the voice.That watreth the moun rains from his lofts, the earth is filled with 14, the fruit of thy workes. That maketh graffe to grow for the cattle, and the herbe for the ufe cf man; bringing forth bread out of the 9 II 12 earth. And wine that rejoyceth the heart of is lorry man , making the face cheerful' with oile ; and bread that upholder") the heart of fo try man. Filled are the trees of Jehovah, 16 the Cedars of Lebanon which hee planted. That there the birds may make their ncft ; 17 the Srorke, the Fir.treesare her houfe. The 18 high mountains for the wild goats,the rocks a flicker for the conies. He made the Moonc r9 for appointed times, the Sunne knoweth his going downe. Thou putteft darkneffe and 20 it is night, in it do creep forth all wild beasts of the wood. The lurking Lions roaring for the prey,& feeking their meat of God.The Sun rifeth, they gather them away, & couch downe in their dens. Out goeth man unto his worke,& to his labour till evening. How many are thy works, Jehovah ! all of them haft thou done in wifedome,the earth is full of thy riches. This Sea great and wide of 25 fpaces, there are creeping things even innu- merable,fmall wild beafts with grear.There a6 goe the (hips, Levjathan whom thou haft formed to play therein.They all lookatten- 27 tively unto thee, to give them their food in his time. Thougiveft it to them,they gather 28 it, thou openeft thine hand,they are filled with good. Thou hideff thy face, they are z9 fuddenly troubled ; thou gathcreft their fpi- rit,they breath out the ghofi, and returne un- to their duff, Thou fendeft forth thy fpirit, they are created, and thou reneweft the face of the earth. The glory of Jehovah be for ever, rejoyce letJehovah in his deeds. Hee looketh upon the earth and ittrembleth, he toucheth the mountains and they fmoke.
