Againe God is to be praised for his goodnes towards his peculiar people, 4. yea towards al the world: 7. but most abundantly towards his Church.
1 Alleluia.
O Ierusalem praise our Lord: praise thy God ô Sion.
2 Because he hath strengthened the lockes of thy gates: he hath blessed thy children in thee.
3 Who hath set thy borders peace: and filleth thee with the fatte of corne.
4 Who sendeth forth his speach to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
5 Who geueth snow as wool: scatereth mist as ashes.
6 He casteth his crystal as morseles: before the face of his cold who shal endure?
7 He shal sendforth his word, and shal melt them: his spirit shal blowe, and waters shal flowe.
8 Who declareth his word to Iacob: his iustices, and iudgements to Israel.
9 He hath not done in like maner to anie nation: and his iudgements he hath not made manifest to them. Allelu-ia.
