verse 3 Because thy loving kindness more in goodness doth excel Than li•e it self: my lips therefore thy praises forth shall tell. verse 4 Thus I'll thee bless continually whilst that alive I am: And I these hands of mine on high will lift up in thy name.

verse 5 So as with marrow and with fat my soul shall filled be: With joyful lips my mouth also shall render praise to thee. ⟨p. 153⟩verse 6 When thee I to remembrance call as on my bed I lie; In watches of the night withal when on thee muse do I.
