1. The God of gods, the Lord, | |||
Hath called the earth by name: | |||
From whence the sun doth rise, unto | |||
The setting of the same. | |||
2. From Sion his fair place, | |||
His glory bright and clear: | |||
The perfect beauty of his grace, | |||
From thence it did appear | |||
3. Our God shall come in haste, | |||
To speak aloud, no doubt: | |||
Before him shall the fire waste, | |||
And tempest round about. | |||
4. The heavens which are so high, | |||
The earth below likewise, | |||
He will call forth, that he may try | |||
The people that are his. | |||
5. Bring forth my saints, saith he, | |||
My faithful flock most dear: | |||
Who are in band and league with me, | |||
My law to love and fear. | |||
6. And when these things are tried, | |||
Then shall the heavens record, | |||
That God is just, and all must bide | |||
The judgments of the Lord. | |||
7. My people now give heed, | |||
Israel to thee I cry : | |||
I am thy God, thy help at need, | |||
Thou canst it not deny. | |||
8. I do not say to thee, | |||
Thy sacrifice is slack: | |||
Thou offer'st daily unto me, | |||
Much more than I do lack. | |||
9. Think'st thou that l do need, | |||
Thy cattle young or old: | |||
Or else so much desire to feed | |||
On goats out of thy fold? | |||
10. Nay, all the beasts are mine | |||
In woods that eat their fills: | |||
And thousands more of neat and kine,, | |||
That run wild on the hills. | |||
The Second Part. | |||
11. The birds that build on high, | |||
On hills and out of sight: | |||
And beasts that in the fields do lie, | |||
Are subject to my might. | |||
12. Then though l hungered sore, | |||
What need I ought of thine? | |||
Since that the earth with her great store, | |||
And all therein, is mine.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
13. To bulls flesh have I mind | |||
To eat it, dost thou think? | |||
Or such a sweetness do I find | |||
The blood of goats to drink? | |||
14. Give to the Lord his praise, | |||
With thanks to him apply; | |||
And see thou pay thy vows always | |||
Unto the God most high. | |||
15. Then seek and call to me, | |||
When ought would work thee blame: | |||
And I will sure deliver thee, | |||
That thou may'st praise my name. | |||
16. But to the wicked train, | |||
Who talk of God each day: | |||
And yet their works are foul and vain, | |||
To them the Lord will say: | |||
17. With what face darest thou | |||
My word once speak or name ? | |||
Why doth thy words my law allow, | |||
Thy deeds deny the same? | |||
18. Whereas for to amend | |||
Thy life thou art so slack: | |||
My word, to which thou dost pretend | |||
Is cast behind thy back. | |||
The Third Part. | |||
19. When thou a thief dost see | |||
By theft to live in wealth, | |||
With him thou runn'st, and dost agree | |||
Likewise to thrive by stealth. | |||
20. When thou dost them behold, | |||
That wives and maids defile, | |||
Thou lik'st it well, and waxest bold | |||
To use that life most vile. | |||
21. Thy lips thou dost apply | |||
To slander and defame: | |||
Thy tongue doth teach to cheat and lie, | |||
And still doth use the same; | |||
24. Thou studiest to revile | |||
Thy friends to thee most near: | |||
With slander basely dost defile | |||
Thy mother's son most dear. | |||
23. Hereat while I do wink, | |||
As though I did not see, | |||
Thou goest on still, and so dost think | |||
That l am like to thee. | |||
24. But sure I will not let | |||
To strike when I begin: | |||
'Thy faults in order I will set, | |||
And open all thy sin.}} | |||
