Psalm 136

THe Lord is Good; him therfore blesse:
And, for his Grace, that lasteth ever.
The God of Gods, let vs confesse;
Because, his Mercie faileth never.
The Lord of Lords, with praise extoll;
For, where he loves, he alway loveth.
His Acts, alone, are wonderfull;
Because, his Favour endles proveth.

His Wisdome, did creat the spheares,
(For, to all times, his Kindnes lasteth)
And, earth above the seas he rears;
Because, his Pittie never wasteth.
He, did the greater Lights provide;
For, through each Age, his Grace extendeth.
He made the Sunn, the day to guide:
Because, his Goodnes never endeth.

He fram'd the Moone & starrs, for night;
For, without bound, is his Compassion.
And, Egipts eldest-borne did smite,
Because, his grace hath no cessation.
He brought forth Isr'el from their land;
(For, soe his endles grace procured)
With stretcht-out Arme, & powrfull hand;
Because, his Mercie still endured.

Hee did the Red sea, then divide;
(For. still, his Kindnes, he retaineth)
And, Isr'el through the same did guide;
Because, his Favour, still, remaineth.
There, he did Pharoh's Army drowne;
(For, Love, hee freely, still, bestoweth)
And through the Deserts brought his owne;
Because, eternall Grace, he showeth.

Both huge, & powrfull kings he slewe;
(For, everlasting are his Graces)
Yea, famous kings he overthrewe;
Because, his Love, times date surpasses.
Great Sehon, king of th' Amorites,
For, his Affection never faileth
And, Og that ruld the Bashamites.
Because, his Mercy, still, prevaileth.

Their heritage bestow'd hath he,
(For, so, his endles Love, required)
His Isr'el's heritage to be;
Because, his Grace is vnexpired.
He did exalt vs, from belowe;
(For, he to Pittie, still, enclineth)
And, hee redeem'd vs from our foe;
Because, no time his Grace confineth.

Hee to all flesh their food hath given;
For, his great Mercy faileth never.
Oh glorify, the God of heav'n:
Because his Grace abideth ever.
