An other prayer out of the same Psalme.
The people & common sort of men ought not only to extol the honour of thy glorious name, and nobleness of thy famous words with right great praises (O almighty God) but also such as be noble and renowned are bound to do the like, because thou pourest thy singular benefits upon all mortal creatures, and never failest of thy ⟨image 240⟩loving promises in faithfulness and truth, but rather doest perpetually give an attentive ear to those which call upon thee with a pure faith and uncorrupt mind. Let so many therefore as be famous and excel in dignity and power amongest men, praise thee when as they shall perceive the marvellous wisdom of thy deep counsels and excellent devices. For, though thou excellest all others in height, yet doest thou not despise such things as be humble and lowly, but seemest to behold the proud a far of, because thou allowest in no wise their doings. We humbly require thee therefore to refresh and quicken us in the middest of our sorrowful tribulations, and repress the violence and hatred of the outrageous enemies of godliness, so that whilst thou shalt nourish and defend us (being the work of thy puissant hands) thy infinite mercy may be made right famous with eternal glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
