magnifie thy Name 6. Quite tir'd with pain with groaning faint No hope of ease I see The night that quiets common griefs Is spent in tears by me 7. My beauty fades my sight grows dim My eyes with weakness close Old age o'ertakes me whilst I think On my insulting Foes 8. But those that triumph in my harms No longer shall rejoyce For God I find accepts my tears And listens to my voice 9. 10. God hears and grants my humble pray'r And they that wish my fall Shall blush and rage to see that God Protects me from them all PSALM VII 1. OLord my God as I have plac'd My trust alone in thee From all my persecutors rage Do thou deliver me 2. Save me from my remorseless Foe Lord interpose thy pow'r Lest like a Savage Lyon he My helpless Soul devour 3 4. If I am guilty or did e're Against his peace combine Nay If I have not spar'd his life Who sought unjustly mine 5. Let then to persecuting Foes My Soul become a prey Let them to earth tread down my life In dust my honour lay 6. Arise and let thine anger Lord In my defence engage Exalt thy self above my foes And their insulting rage Awake awake in my behalf The Judgment to dispence Which thou hast righteously ordain'd For injur'd Innocence 7. So to thy Throne adoring crouds Shall still for Justice fly O! therefore for their suffering sakes Do thou return on high 8. Impartial Judge of all the world I trust my cause to thee O! judge me by my Righteousness And hearts Integrity 9. Let wickedness and wicked Men Together be o'erthrown But six the just thou God to whom The hearts of both are known 10 11. God me protects nor only me But all of upright Heart And daily lays up wrath for those Who from his Laws depart 12 If they persist he whets his sword His bow stands always bent 13. Ev'n now with swift destruction wing'd His pointed shafts are sent 14. Those treach'rous plots my foe conceiv'd Abortive are and vain 15. The pit he digg'd has prov'd a grave His ruins to contain 16. On his malicious head returns The mischief he contriv'd The violence for me design'd Is to himself arriv'd 17. Therefore of providence Divine The Justice I 'll proclaim I 'll sing the praise of God most high And celebrate his Name PSALM VIII 1. O Thou to whom all Creatures bow Within this earthly frame Thro' all the world how great art Thou How glorious is thy Name In Heav'n thy wond'rous Acts are sung Nor fully reckon'd there 2. And yet thou mak'st the infant Tongue Thy boundless Praise declare Through thee the weak confound the strong And crush their haughty Foes And so thou quell'st the wicked throng That thee and thine oppose 3. When Heav'n thy beauteous work on high Employs my wond'ring sight The Moon that nightly gilds the sky With Stars of feebler light 4. Lord what is man that still thou lov'st To keep him in thy mind Or what his offspring that thou prov'st To them so wond'rous kind 5. Him next in pow'r thou didst create To thy celestial train 6. Ordain'd with dignity and state O'er all thy works to reign 7. They jointly own his potent sway The Beasts that prey or graze 8. The Bird that wings its airy way The Fish that cuts the Seas 9. O thou to whom all Creatures bow Within this earthly frame Through all the world how great art Thou How glorious is thy Name PSALM IX 1. TO celebrate thy praise O Lord I will my heart prepare To all the list'ning world thy Works Thy wond'rous Works declare 2. The thought of them shall to my Soul Exalted raptures bring Whilst to thy Name O thou most High Triumphant Praise I sing 3. Thou mad'st my haughty Foes to turn Their backs in shameful flight Struck with thy presence down they fell They perish'd at thy sight 4. Against insulting Foes advanc'd Thou didst my cause maintain My Right asserting from thy Throne Where Truth and Justice reign 5. The insolence of heathen pride Thou hast reduc'd to shame Their wicked offspring quite destroy'd And blotted out their name 6. Mistaken Foes your threats and you Are to a period come Our Cities stand design'd by you Their slaughter'd owners Tomb. 7 8. The Lord endures who has on high His Righteous Throne prepar'd Impartial Justice to dispense To punish or reward 9. His kindness is a sure defence Against oppressing rage As troubles rise his needful aids In our behalf engage 10. All those who have his Goodness prov'd Will in his Truth confide Whose mercy ne'er forsook the man That on his help rely'd 11. Sing Praises therefore to the Lord From Sion his abode Proclaim his Deeds till all the world Confess no other God PART II. 12. When he enquiry makes for blood He 'll call their guilt to mind The injur'd humble man's complaint Relief from him shall find 13. Compassion on my troubles take That spiteful Foes create Thou that hast rescu'd me so oft From deaths devouring gate 14. In Sion then I 'll sing thy Praise To all that love thy Name And with loud shouts of grateful joy Thy saving Pow'r proclaim 15. Deep in the pit they digg'd for me The heathen pride is laid Their guilty feet to their own snare Insensibly betray'd 16. Thus by the just returns he makes The mighty Lord is known While wicked Men by their own plots Are shamefully o'erthrown 17. His injur'd Saints when most distrest He ne'er forgets to aid Their expectation shall be crown'd Tho for a time delay'd 18. No single Sinner shall escape By privacy obscur'd Nor Nations from his just Revenge By numbers be secur'd 19. Arise O Lord assert thy pow'r And let not man o'ercome Descend to Judgement and pronounce The guilty Heathens doom 20. Strike terrour through the Nations round Till by consenting fear They to each other and themselves But mortal Men appear PSALM X. 1. THy presence why withdraw'st thou Lord Why hid'st thou now thy Face When dismal Times of deep distress Call for thy wonted Grace 2. The wicked swell'd with lawless pride Have made the poor their prey O! let them fall by those designs Which they for others lay 3. For strait they triumph if success Their thriving crimes attend And sordid wretches whom God hates In his despite commend 4. To own a pow'r above themselves Their haughty pride disdains And therefore in their stubborn mind No thought of God remains 5. Oppressive methods they pursue And all their Foes they slight Because thy Judgments unobserv'd Are far above their sight 6. They fondly think their prosp'rous state Shall unmolested be They think their vain designs shall thrive From all misfortunes free 7. Vain and deceitful is their Speech With curses fill'd and lies By which the mischief they intend They study to disguise 8. Near publick Roads they lie conceal'd And all their art employ The innocent and poor at once To rifle and destroy 9. Not
