Analysis of Psalm CXVII.
Henry King 1592 (Worminghall, Buckinghamshire) – 1669 (Chichester)
O all ye Nations record,
The Praises of the Lord;
Ye people through the Universe,
Your Makers praise rehearse.
For He to us great kindness shewes,
And Mercies large bestowes.
His constant Truth no time decaies:
The Lord for ever praise.
