The fear of God is not before his eyes 2 For in his sight he has acted deceitfully so that his iniquity has made him worthy of hatred 3 The words of his mouth are full of injustice and fraud he would not understand how to do well 4 He meditates mischeif on his bed he follows all bad ways and has no hatred of evill 5 Lord thy mercy is in heaven And thy truth reacheth to the clouds 6 Thy justice like the highest mountans is elevated thy judgments are of a profound depth 7 Thou wilt preserve O Lord both men beasts according to the great extent of thy mercy O God! 8 But the sons of men shall place their hope in their being protected under thy wings 9 They shall be inebriated with the flowing plenty of thy house And thou wilt make them drink in the torrent of thy delights 10 For the fountain of life is in thee And in thy light wee shall see light 11 Hold forth thy mercy to those who know thee And thy justice to the upright of heart 12 Let not the foot of pride come at me nor let me be moved by the hand of the sinner 13 There have they falln ' who work iniquity they are driven out and could not stand their ground PSALME XXXVI

in thee have I hoped save me from all that persecute me and set me free 2 Least at any time the enemy like a lyon should snatch my soul when there is no body to rescue me and save me 3 O Lord my God!

Austin apply this Psalm to the holy city of the Church of which that of Ierusalem was the figure tho S. Chrisostome and some other interpreters thiâ— it relates to the reestablishment of the city of Ierusalem after the Captivity of Babylon 1 GReat is our Lord Psalm 47. and worthy of all praise in the city of our God upon his holy mountan 2 With the joy of the whole earth mount Sion is founded on the side of the north stands the city of the great King 3 In the houses therof God will make himself known when he takes upon him to defend it 4 For behold the Kings of the earth did assemble And conspire against it 5 But when they saw it so defended they were astonish'd were frighted were driven away And were seised with trembling 6 They felt the pains of a woman in labour with a violent wind thou wilt break to pieces the ships of Tharsus 7 As wee have heard so now wee have seen in the city of the Lord of Hosts in the city of our God that God has founded her to last for ever 8 Wee have received thy mercy O God! in the midle of thy Temple 9 As is thy name so is thy praise spred to the ends of the earth thy right hand is full of justice 10 Let mount Sion rejoyce let the daughters of Judah be overjoy'd at the sight of thy judgments O Lord 11 Go round about Sion and incompass it relate those things from the top of its towers 12 Consider well its strength take a view of every house that you may make it known to the next generation 13 For he is God our God for ever and ever And he will reign eternally over us PSALME XXXXVIII Audite haec omnes gentes It is needles to be iniquisitive into the occasion of composing this Psalm since ther is nothing certain to be said of it and on the other side it consists only of morall instructions The Prophet represents the vanity of riches the unprofitablenes of worldly wisdom and shews that tho it often happens that the just are afflicted in this life and that the wickâ—d are in prosperity yet when death comes there will be an equall distribution made 1 HEar what I say all you Nations Psalm 48. be attentive all you inhabitants of the world 2 All that are born of the earth all sons of men both the rich and the poor 3 My mouth shall utter wisdom and the meditation of my heart shall bring forth prudence 4 I will give attention to parables And my proposition I will explain upon the harp 5 Why shall I be affraid in the evill day least I be found involved in the iniquity of my ways 6 They who confide in their strength And who glory in the abundance of their riches let them hear this 7 A brother wil not redeem a brother will a man vvho is a stranger redeem him he can not give for himself wherwith to appease God 8 Nor pay the ransom of his own soul he will allways toyle and labour and so live on to the presixt end of his days 9 He will not look upon death tho he sees wise men dying before him but the insensible man and the fool at last must perish 10 And they will leave their houses to strangers And their sepulchers will be their houses to the world's end 11 Their places of habitation passe from one generation to an other they have left their names to their lands 12 Man when elevated in honour looseth understanding he is compared to brute beasts that have no reason and he becomes like them 13 This way of theirs is the occasion of their fall And yet they please and applaud themselves 14 Like sheep to the shambles they are driven into hell And death will devour them 15 And the just will have dominion over them in the morning And all the props of their vvorldly glory will sink and faile them in hell 16 But God will redeem my soul from the power of hell when he has taken me into his protection 17 Be not concern'd when the unjust man becomes rich And his house is in great glory 18 For of all this when he dyes he will carry nothing with him nor will his glory accompany him when he goes below 19 During his life he shall be said to be happy And he will praise thee as long as thou do'st well with him 20 There he will enter where his fathers went before him And for ever he will not see light 21 Man when he is elevated in honour looseth understanding he is compared to brute beasts that have no reason and is become like them PSALME XXXXIX Deus Deorum Many of the holy fathers interpreters think this Psalm relates to the comings of our Saviour the one of mercy when he call'd mankind and established his Church the other of justice when he will come to judge the world Others apply it to the Israelites who vainly confided in their sacrifices and at that same time violated his law and neglected to obey his will Those two opinions may easily be reconciled in taking the Israelites to be the figure of the Christians and the judgment which God prononces against them to represent that which he will prononce at the last day against all who break his divine law 1 THe God of Gods Psalm 49. our Lord has spoken And has summon'd the earth 2 From the rising to the setting of the sun the splendor of his glory shines out of Sion 3 God will come our God will manifest himself And he will not be silent 4 Fire will flame out before him And a violent tempest will incompass him round 5 He will call to him the heavens from above and the earth from below to distinguish his people 6 Bring before him all his Saints who make a covenant with him by sacrifices 7 And the heavens shall proclame his justice for God is the supreme judge 8 Hear me my people and I will speak hear me Israel and I will testify to thee that I am God thy God 9 I will not accuse thee as to thy sacrifices for thy holocaustes are allways in my sight 10 I will not take your calves from your houses nor your goats from your herds 11 For all the beasts of the woods are mine All the cattell in the mountains and the oxen 12 I know all the birds of the air And the fruitfull beauty of the feilds comes from me 13 If I want meat I shall not tell you for the whole world is mine and all that it contains 14 Will I eat the flesh of bulls Or will I drink the blood of goats 15 Immolate to God a sacrifice of praise And pay your vowes faithfully to the most high 16 And call upon me in the day of tribulation I will sett you free and you shall honour me 17 But to the sinner God has said why do'st thou declare my laws And why do'st thou assume into thy
not had God before their eyes 4 But behold God comes to my relief And our Lord is the protector of my soule 5 Turn upon my Enemies the evills they intend me And according to thy verity exterminate them 6 With a willing heart I will offer sacrifice to thee And I will celebrate thy name O Lord because it is all good 7 Because thou hast delivered me from all my afflictions And now my eye can look with assurance upon my ennemys PSALME LIV. Exaudi Deus orationem meam It is believed that David composed this Psalm in the time of Absaloms conspiracy against him It allso perfectly agrees in the spirituall sense with the passion of our Saviour And the prayer which it containes is very proper for all Christians when they find themselves beseiged by the severall temptations of the Ennemies of their salvation 1 HEar my prayer Psalm 54. O God! and do not despise my petition Have regard to me and hear me 2 My meditations fill me with sadnes And I have no rest from the clamour of the enemy and from the persecution of the finner 3 For they have wrongfully layd iniquitys to my charge And in their anger have afflicted me 4 My heart is disturbed within me And the fear of death is fallen upon me 5 Terror and trembling have seized me An darkness has cover'd me round 6 And I have said who will give me the wings of a dove that I may fly away and find a place to rest in 7 Behold I am allready fled a far off And I have remain'd in solitude 8 Still expecting him who has hitherto preserved me from loosing courage And from the storme 9 Tumble them down O Lord and divide their tongues For I have seen nothing but injustice and dissention in the Citty 10 Iniquity surrounds it upon the walls both day and night Oppression and injustice reign within it 11 In the streets therofe there is never wanting usury and fraud 12 The malediction of my enemy I could have born with patience 13 And if he who professed hatred towards me had spoken insultingly against me I might perhaps have Kept out of his sight 14 But t is you who have been all one with me my leader my old acquaintance 15 Who have so often delightfully eaten at my table And walked with me hand in hand in the house of God! 16 May death on the sudden come upon all such And may they alive go down into hell 17 For wickednes dwells in their houses And in the middle of them 18 But I have call'd out to God And our Lord will save me 19 Both evening and morning and at noon day I will tell and set forth my sufferings And he will hear my voice 20 He will redeem my soule in peace from those who come upon me for they amongst many have been with me who are now against me 21 God will hear me and he will humble them He who subsists before all ages 22 For there is no hope of their changing They have no fear of God and he hath stretcht out his hand to give them their due 23 They have contaminated his convenant in his anger he hath dissipated them And he has sett his heart upon it 24 Their speeches are softer then oyl But they peirce like darts 25 Leave the care of thy self to our Lord and he will maintain thee He will not suffer the justman to be allways in a tottering condition 26 But as to the wicked thou wilt cast them O God Into the pitt of destruction 27 The bloody and the deceitfull men shall not live half their days But I will hope in thee O Lord PSALME LV. Miserere mei Deus quoniam David forced to fly and abscond and besâ—tâ— round with enemies prays to God that he may he delivered out of their hands Next he conceives certain hopes that his enemies shall perish and the be saved and therfore vows thanksgiving to God 1 HAve mercy on me Psalm 55. O God! for man has trod me under foot All the day he setts upon me and persecutes me 2 All the day my enemies trample upon me For they are many who make war against me 3 So that I fear the light of the noon day But yet I will hope in thee 4 I will praise God for what he has sayd to me I have put my trust in God I will not fear what flesh can do to me 5 The whole day they execrated all that I said all their thoughts are bent to do me hurt 6 They keep about me and lye in ambush They watch all my steps 7 Whereas they wait to take my life Thou wilt have no regard for saving of them In thy indignation thou wilt break that people in pieces 8 O God!

O God! when I offer it to thee Free my soule from the fear of my enemy 2 Thou hast protected me against the convention of wicked men Against the multitude of the doers of injustice 3 For they have made their tongues as sharp as a sword They have bent their bow with bitternes That they may secretly strike an innocent man 4 They will wound him all on the sudden and fear nothing They are fixed in their wicked resolutions 5 They have consulted how to cover their snares And they have said who can find them out 6 They searched about for crimes to charge me with They unprofitably tyr'd themselves in the scrutiny 7 Man will forme deep designs in his heart But God will be glorifyed 8 Their arrows strike no deeper then those of children And their tongues have not any force but against them selues 9 All were amazed that saw them And every man was in fear 10 And they published what God had done And they understood his works 11 The just will rejoice in our Lord and will hope in him And all the upright of heart will have praise PSALME LXIV Te decet hymnus Deus This Psalme according to the letter of it seems to be made about the time of the Israelites going out of Babylon and returning to Ierusalem It is to be applyed in the spirituall sense to the church delivered from the Captivity of the Devâ—â— by the death of our Saviour Iesus-Christ 1 A Hymne in Sion becomes thee Psalm 64.
