| O Jehovah our Lord how wondrous great | B |
| And glorious is thy name through all the earth | C |
| So as above the Heavens thy praise to set | D |
| Out of the tender mouths of latest bearth | C |
| - | |
| Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou | C |
| Hast founded strength because of all thy foes | E |
| To stint th'enemy and slack th'avengers brow | C |
| That bends his rage thy providence to oppose | E |
| - | |
| When I behold thy Heavens thy Fingers art | F |
| The Moon and Starrs which thou so bright hast set | D |
| In the pure firmament then saith my heart | F |
| O What is man that thou remembrest yet | D |
| - | |
| And think'st upon him or of man begot | G |
| That him thou visit'st and of him art found | H |
| Scarce to be less then Gods thou mad'st his lot | I |
| With honour and with state thou hast him crown'd | H |
| - | |
| O're the works of thy hand thou mad'st him Lord | J |
| Thou hast put all under his lordly feet | K |
| All Flocks and Herds by thy commanding word | L |
| All beasts that in the field or forrest meet | K |
| - | |
| Fowl of the Heavens and Fish that through the wet | D |
| Sea paths in shoals do slide And know no dearth | C |
| O Jehovah our Lord how wondrous great | B |
| And glorious is thy name through all the earth | C |
