CX. William Kethe

Qui confidunt.

SUCH as in God the Lord do trust,

As mount Sion shall firmely stand,

And be remoued at no hand;

The Lord will count them right and iust,

So that they shall be sure

For euer to endure.

As mighty mountaines huge and great

Jerusalem about doe close,

So will the Lord be vnto those

Who on his godly will doe wayte.

Such are to him so deare,

They neuer neede to feare.

For though the righteous try doth he,

By making wicked men his rod;

Least they for griefe forsake their God,

It shall not as their lot still be.

Giue, Lord, to those thy light,

Whose hearts are true and right.

But as for such as turne asyde

By crooked wayes which they out sought,

The Lord will surely bring to nought;

With works most vyle they shall abide:

But peace with Israël

For euermore shall dwell.
