He

He hath made them faft for ever and ever: he

hath given them a law which shall not be broken. Praise the Lord, upon earth: ye dragons and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and vapours: wind and storm, fulfilling his word;

Mountains and all hills: fruitful trees, and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle: worms and feathered fowls; Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the world;

Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.

He shall exalt the horn of his people, all his faints shall praise him: even the children of Ifrael, even the people that serveth him.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, that is, the Comforter, who hath wrought effectually in all the Saints from the beginning of the world, and was afterwards fent to the Apostles by the Father, according to the promise of our Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift, and after the Apostles to all believers in the holy
