Psalme CXIIIVI. Sir Philip Sidney and the Countess of Pembroke
Laudate, pueri.
O
To praise his name accord;
Jehova now and ever
Commending, ending never,
Whom all this earth resoundes
From east to westerne boundes.
His glory treades the sky.
Like him who can be counted,
That dwells soe highly mounted?
Yet stooping low beholds
What heav’n and earth enfolds.
The wretch from miry hole
He lifts: yea, kings he makes them,
Yea, kings his people takes them:
He gives the barren wife
A fruitfull mother’s life.
