Praise to the Lord give ye.

PSALM CXVII.

Give ye praise unto the Lord,

did compafle me about:
But in the Lords most Holy Name
I shall them all root out.
They compaft me about I say,
they compaft me about:
But in the Lords most Holy Name:
I shall them all root out.

12 Like Bees they compast me about,
like unto thorns that flame,
They quenched are: for them shall 1
destroy in Gods own Name.
