The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#41a

41a. Confitebimus tibi

1 Unto thee (O God) will we give thanks,
we will give thanks to thee:
Sith thy Name is so neare, declare
thy wondrous works will we.
2 I will uprightly judge, when get
convenient time I may:
The earth is weak, and all therein,
but I her pillars stay.

3 I did to the mad people say,
deale not so furiously:
And unto the ungodly ones,
set not your hornes on hie.
4 I said unto them, set not up
your raised hornes on hie,
And see that you do with stiffe neck
not speake presumptuously.

5 For neither from the Eastern parts,
nor from the Western side:
Nor from forsaken wildernesse
promotion doth proceed.
6 For why? The Lord our God he is
the righteous Judge alone:
He putteth down the one and sets
another in the throne.

7 For why? a cup of mighty wine
is in the hand of God:
And all the mighty wine therein,
himselfe will powre abroad.
8 As for the lees and filthy dregs
that do remaine of it:
The wicked of the world shall drink
and suck them every whit.

9 But I will talk of God I say,
of Jacob's God therefore:
And will not cease to celebrate
his praise for evermore.
10 In sunder break the hornes of all
ungodly men will I:
And then the hornes of righteous men
shall be exalted high.

Gloria Patri:
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
all glory be therefore:
As in beginning was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
