The Hundredth Psalme

LXVI. John Pits

  • Dauid in this psalme doth exhort
  • To prayse the Lord alwayes,
  • For that he did vs make, and port
  • And guyde vs all our dayes.

  • O BE ye ioyfull in the Lorde,

    Serue ye him, all ye landes:

    With gladnes cum, and with a song

    Commit you to his handes.

    The Lord our God he did vs make;

    Of this we may be sure;

    Not we our selues, we are his folke

    And shepe of his pasture.

    Now let vs go into his gates,

    With thanks to geue him prayse;

    Into his court, euen for to speake

    Good of his name alwayes.

    For why? the Lord is gracious;

    His mercy is full sure;

    His truth doth euerlastyngly

    For euermore endure.
