there_o not_o a_o necessity_n of_o speak_v many_o thing_n beside_o god_n praise_n yet_o nothing_o must_v be_v speak_v but_o either_o his_o praise_n or_o to_o his_o praise_n or_o else_o we_o break_v

can_v do_v all_o thing_n yet_o in_o this_o boast_n there_o be_v humility_n when_o i_o add_v in_o he_o that_o comfort_v i_o for_o though_o god_n like_v not_o of_o boast_v yet_o he_o like_v of_o this_o

and_o be_v glad_a so_o god_n see_v it_o and_o be_v please_v and_o accept_v my_o boast_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o humility_n but_o to_o what_o end_n be_v it_o that_o my_o boast_v tend_v be_v it_o to_o

forbid_v the_o humble_a then_o will_v not_o be_v glad_a to_o hear_v my_o boast_n no_o my_o soul_n it_o be_v to_o magnify_v the_o lord_n o_o therefore_o verse_n 3_o magnify_v the_o lord_n with_o i_o

of_o god_n mark_v therefore_o how_o david_n speak_v they_o will_v be_v still_o praise_v he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o praise_v he_o it_o must_v be_v a_o praise_v he_o still_o before_o it_o will_v
