Their seed, O Lord! shall serue to worshipp Thee, And with Thy chosen people numbred bee; And to their children's children, shall expresse Thine euerlasting truth and righteousnes. PSALM XXIII. The Lord my SHEAPERD is, Hee doth mee feed, His bounty euermore supplies my need; When I in pastures greene my fill haue tooke, He leads mee forth into the siluer brooke; Hee turnes my soule, when it is gon astray, For His name's glory, to His right[eous][202] way; Therefore although my soule detruded were, Euen to Hell's gates, yet I not ill should feare; When Thou art with mee, what should mee dismay? Thy crooke, my comfort is; Thy staffe, my stay; My table Thou hast spread and furnisht soe, As glads my heart, and greiues my enuious foe; Thy balme powr'd on my head, doth sweetly smell; Thou makst my cup aboue the brimme to swell. Thy mercy, while I breathe, shall follow mee, And in Thy house my dwellinge-place shall bee. [Footnote 202: I add 'eous' to 'right' of the MS. agreeably to the Prayer Book version--"and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness." G.] PSALM XXIV. The Earth, and all things which on the Earth remaine, Euen all the world, doth to the Lord pertaine; Amid the Sea, Hee founded hath the Land And made this GLOBE aboue the floods to stand. Who shall unto JEHOUAH'S MOUNT ascend? Or who shall in His holy place attend? Euen hee whose hands are cleane, whose heart is pure, Whose tongue is true, whose oath is just and sure. He shall receaue both righteousnes and blisse From God, Whose mercy his saluation is. Such are the seed of JACOB'S faithfull race, Which seeke the Lord, and loue to see His face; Ye euerlasting GATES, your heads upreare, And let the King of Glory enter there. That glorious name, to Whome doth it belong? To God Most Mightie and in warr most stronge. Eternall dores, lift [up] your heads, I say That there, the King of Glorie enter may. The King of Glory enters, what is Hee? The Lord of Hosts is knowne that Kinge to bee. PSALM XXV.
