2.The works of the Lord are bgreat, and ought to be sought out of all them that love them.
3.His work is beautiful and glorious, and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4.He hathe made his wonderful works to be had in remembrance: the Lord is merciful and ful of compassion.
5.He hathe given ca ^portion unto them that fear him: he wil ever be mindful of his covenant.
6.He hathe shewed to his people the power of his works in giving unto them the heritage of the heathen.
7.The dworks of his hands are truth & judgement: all his statutes are true.
8.Thei are stablished for ever and ever, and are done in trueth and equitie.
9.He sent redemption unto his people: he hathe commanded his covenant for ever: holie and fearful is his Name.
