7 They shal vtter the memorie of the abundance of thy swetnes: and in thy iustice they shal reioyce.
8 Our Lord is pitiful and merciful: patient and very merciful.
9 Our Lord is sweete to al: and his commiserations are ouer al his workes.
10 Let al thy workes ô Lord confesse to thee: and let thy sainctes blesse thee.
11 They shal tel the glorie of thy kingdom: and shal speake thy might.
12 That they may make thy might knowne to the children of men: and the glorie of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of al worldes: and thy dominion in al generation and generation.
14 Our Lord is faithful in al his wordes: and holie in al his workes.

17 Thou openest thy hand: and fillest euerie liuing creature with blessing.
18 Our Lord is iust in al his wayes: and holie in al his workes.
19 Our Lord is neere to al that inuocate him: to al that inuocate him in truth.
20 He wil doe the wil of them that feare him, and wil heare their prayer; and saue them.
21 Our Lord keepeth al that loue him: and he wil destroy al sinners.
22 My mouth shal speake the prayse of our Lord: and let al flesh blesse his holie name for euer, and for euer and euer.
