1 O geue thankes vnto the Lord, and cal vpon his name: tel the people what thynges he hath done.
2 O let your songes be of him prayse hym, and let your talking be of al hys wonderous workes.
3 Gyue hys holye name a good report lette their hertes reioyse that seke the Lord.
4 Seke the Lord, and his strength, seke his face euermore.
5 Remember the maruelous worckes that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgementes of his mouth.
6 O ye sede of Abraham hys seruaunte, ye chyldren of Iacob hys chosen.
7 He is the Lorde oure God, whose punishmentes are thorow oute all the worlde.
8 He is alwaye myndeful of his couenaunt and promyse that he made to a thousand generations.
9 Yea the couenant that he made with Abraham, and the oth that, he sware vnto Isaac,
10 And appoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israell for an euerlastynge testamente.
11 Sayenge: vnto the wyl I geue the land of Canaan, the lot of your heritage.
12 When there was yet but a fewe of them, and the straungers therin.
13 What tyme as they wente from one nacyon to another, from one kyngedome to another.
14 He suffered no man to hurt them, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes.
15 Touch not myne anoynted, do my prophetes no harme.
