3His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.
4He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.
5He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.
6He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.
7The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.
8They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.
9He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.
10The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
