Unto the end, for the sons of Core.Vnto the end, for the ſonnes of Core.In finem, pro filiis Core. Psalmus.

2All ye Nations clap hands: make jubilation to God in the voice of exultation.AL ye Nations clappe handes: make iubilation to God in the voyce of exultation.Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus ; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis :

3Because our Lord is high, ; a great king over all the earth.Becauſe our Lord is high, terrible; a great king ouer al the earth.quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.

4He hath made peoples subject to us: and gentiles under our feet.He hath made peoples ſubiect to vs: & gentiles vnder our feete.Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.

5He hath chosen his inheritance in us: the beauty of Jacob which he loved.He hath choſen his inheritance in vs: the beautie of Iacob which he loued.Elegit nobis hæreditatem suam ; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.

6God is ascended in jubilation: and our Lord in the voice of trumpet.God is aſcended in iubilation: and our Lord in the voice of trumpet.Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubæ.

7Sing ye to our God, sing ye: Sing ye to our king, sing ye.Sing ye to our God, ſing ye: Sing ye to our king, ſing ye.Psallite Deo nostro, psallite ; psallite regi nostro, psallite :

8Because God is king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.Becauſe God is king of al the earth: ſing ye wiſely.quoniam rex omnis terræ Deus, psallite sapienter.

9God shall reign over the gentiles: God sitteth upon his holy seat.God ſhal reigne ouer the gentiles: God ſitteth vpon his holie ſeate.Regnabit Deus super gentes ; Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

10Princes of peoples are gathered together with the God of Abraham: because the strong gods of the earth, are exceedingly .Princes of peoples are gathered together with the God of Abraham: becauſe the ſtrong goddes of the earth, are excedingly aduanced.Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terræ vehementer elevati sunt.

1609 marginThe faithful of the old and new Testament are united in the service of one, and the same eternal God. In respect of the Blessed Trinity, holy Scripture here, and in many places useth names of the plural number as Eloim Gods, not dividing God's substance, which is one, but insinuating distinction of Divine Persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Which Mystery is more expressly mentioned in Baptism, and professed by Christian gentiles, than it was by the people of the Jews.The faithful of the old and new Teſtament are vnited in the ſeruice of one, and the ſame eternal God. In reſpect of the Bleſſed Trinitie, holie Scripture here, and in manie places vſeth names of the plural number as Eloim Goddes, not diuiding Gods ſubſtance, which is one, but inſinuating diſtinction of Diuine Perſons. The Father, the Sonne, and the Holie Ghoſt. VVhich Myſterie is more expreſſely mentioned in Baptiſme, and profeſſed by Chriſtian gentils, then it was by the people of the Iewes.
