O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world *

thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens!

Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies *

that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers *

the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him *

and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou madest him lower than the angels *

to crown him with glory and worship.

Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands *

and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet;

All sheep and oxen *

yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea *

and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Governor *

how excellent is thy Name in all the world!

O how amiable are thy dwellings  *

thou Lord of hosts!

My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord *

my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young *

even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house *

they will be alway praising thee.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee *

in whose heart are thy ways.

Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well *

and the pools are filled with water.

They will go from strength to strength *

and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer *

hearken, O God of Jacob.

Behold, O God our defender *

and look upon the face of thine Anointed.

For one day in thy courts *

is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God *

than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

For the Lord God is a light and defence *

the Lord will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

O Lord God of hosts *

blessed is the man that putteth his trust in thee.
