I will give laud and honor both
unto the Lord always;
My mouth also for evermore
shall speak unto his praise.
I do delight to praise the Lord,
in soul, ill heart, in voice,
That humble men may hear thereof,
and heartily rejoice.
Therefore see that ye magnify
with me the living Lord;
Let us exalt his holy Name
always with one accord.
For I myself besought the Lord,
he answered me again,
And me delivered speedily
From all my fear and pain.
Whoso they be that him behold,
shall see his light most clear;
Their countenance shall not be dashed,
they never need to fear.
The poor distressèd man for help
unto the Lord doth call,
Who doth him hear without delay,
and rid him out of thrall.
The angel of the Lord doth pitch
his tents in ev'ry place,
To save all such as do him fear,
that nothing them deface.
Taste, and consider well therefore,
that God is good and just!
O happy man, that maketh him
his only stay and trust!
O fear the Lord, all ye his saints,
who is a mighty King;
For they that fear the living Lord,
are sure to lack nothing.
The lions shall be hunger-bit,
and pined with famine much;
But as for them that fear the Lord,
no lack shall be to such.
