So that to God I thus did pray O take me not as yet away Nor cast me off from this lifes stage In prime of youth and mid'st of age For though My dayes be few and fraile Thy yeares O God will never faile 25. Thou Lord hast earth's foundation lay'd And by Thy hand the Heav'ns were made They all shall perish and decay And in their time consume away Like to a garment when grow'n old They shall nor use nor motion hold But though the world and they must fall Thy Being is perpetuall 27. Yea as a vesture worne and chang'd Is from it's gloss and forme estrang'd So Shalt Thou change this massy frame Yet still Thy selfe abide the same 28. And like Thy selfe from changes freed Thou wilt prolong Thy servants seed Whose children shall remaine with Thee And in Thy sight establisht be PSAL. CIII As Psalme 51. 1. MY Soul thy best devotion raise To bless the Lord and sing His praise 2. O never unremembred be The benefits He powr'd on thee 3. Whose pardon doth all sins release And keep thy body from disease 4. Who thee redeem'd to death cast downe And doth thy life with mercies crowne 5. Who with good things shall fill thy mouth And eagle-like renew thy youth 6. He by right judgment hath redrest All such as are by wrong opprest 7. His wayes have know'n to Moses been The Israelites His works have seen 8. All which His will and nature shew To mercy swift to vengeance slow 9. He will not alwayes with us chide Nor let His anger long abide 10. Nor deales according to our sin Nor have our crimes rewarded bin 11. For high as Heav'n is earth above So large so boundless is his love 12. Removing all our sins as far As East and West divided are 13. Yea like a Father 's to his Son To us is his compassion 14 He knowes our frame too weak to trust Remembring that we are but dust 15. The daies of man like to the grass Or fading flow'r to nothing pass 16. Which blow'n and shaken by the wind Leave neither place nor print behind 17. His goodnes though confirm'd and sure To childrens children doth endure 18. Ev'n unto such whose cleare intents Walk after His Commandements 19. The Lord in heav'n prepares His throne And governs all the world alone O therefore bless that pow'rfull Lord Who made and rules us by His word 20. Ye Angels that in strength excell And never 'gainst His word rebell 21. Ye winged Ministers who still Prepared are to act His will Ye Heav'nly hosts and creatures all 22. Bless Him and at His foot-stool fall Lastly my Soul thy Maker praise And bless His goodnes all thy daies PSAL. CIV As Psalme 51. 1. MY Soul the Lord for ever bless O God! Thy greatnesse all confess Whom Majesty and honour vest 2. In robes of Light eternall drest He Heaven makes his Canopy 3. His chambers in the waters ly His Chariot is the cloudy storme And on the wings of wind is borne 4. He Spirits makes His Angels quire His Ministers a flaming fire 5. He so did earth's foundations cast It might remaine for ever fast 6. Then cloath'd it with the spatious deep Whose wave outswells the mountaines steep 7. At Thy rebuke the waters fled And hid their thunder-frighted head 8. They from the mountaines streaming flow And downe into the Vallies go Then to their liquid center hast Where their collected floods are cast 9. These in the Ocean met and joyn'd Thou hast within a bank confin'd Not suff'ring them to pass their bound Least earth by their excess be drown'd 10. He from the hills his Christall springs Down running to the vallies brings 11. Which drink supply and coolnes yield To thirsting beasts throughout the field 12. By them the fowles of heaven rest And singing in their branches nest 13. He waters from his clouds the Hills The teeming earth with plenty fills 14. He grass for Cattle doth produce And every Herbe for humane use That so He may His creatures feed And from the earth supply their need 15. He makes the clusters of the vine To glad the Sons of men with wine He oyle to cheere the face imparts And bread the strength'ner of their hearts Second Part. 16. The trees which God for fruit decreed Nor sap nor moyst'ning vertue need The lofty Cedars by His hand In Lebanon emplanted stand 17. Unto the birds these shelter yield And Storks upon the fir-trees build 18. Wild goats the hills defend and feed And in the Rocks the Conies breed 19. He made the changing Moone appeare To note the seasons of the yeare The Sun from Him his strength doth get And knows the measure of his Set. 20. Thou mak'st the darkness of the night When beasts creep forth that shunn'd the light 21. Young Lions roaring after prey From God their hunger must allay 22. When the bright Sun casts forth his ray Down in their Dennes themselves they lay 23. Man's labour with the morne begun Continues till the day be done 24. O Lord what wonders hast thou made In providence and wisedome layd The earth is with Thy riches crown'd 25. And Seas where creatures most abound 26. There go the ships which swiftly fly There great Leviathan doth ly Who takes his pastime in the flood 27. All these do waite on Thee for food 28. Thy bounty is on them distill'd Who are by Thee with goodnes fill'd 29 But when thou hid'st Thy face they dy And to their dust returned ly 30. Thy spirit all with life endues The springing face of earth renewes 31. Gods glory ever shall endure Pleas'd in His works from change secure 32. Upon the earth He looketh downe Which shrinks trembles at His frowne His lightnings touch or thunders stroak Wil make the proudest mountains smoak 33 To Him my Ditties whil'st I live Or being have shall praises give 34 My Meditations will be sweet When fixt on Him my comforts meet 35. Upon the earth let sinners rot In place and memory forgot But thou my soul thy Maker bless Let all the world His praise express PSAL. CV 1.

He is the Lord whose judgments show'n Through all the earth are know'n 8. He Cov'nant keeps in word and deed To thousands that succeed 9. To Abraham and Izaak both He promis'd with an oath 10. And for a Law His sacred pact To Iacob did enact 11. In which He vow'd that Israel
prosperous successe 5. But wicked men themselves shall find Like chaff blow'n by the wind 6. Nor in the finall Judgment must Stand up among the Just. 7.

Let my request like Incense rise Or ev'ning sacrifice 3. Set Thou a watch my mouth before And keep my speeches doore 4. Incline not unto ill my heart With sinners to take part Let me not eat of that delights Their wicked appetites 5. But let the righteous me reprove And smite me in his love Like pretious balmes or odours shed Such stroaks not break my head And in my pray'rs I shall them bless In midst of their distress 6 When wicked Judges overthrow'n Ly dash'd against the stone They shall with much contentment heare My words which comfort beare 7. Disperst and scatter'd on the grave Our bones no value have As fallen trees cut downe and cleft Are in their splinters left 8. But though in darknes clos'd I ly On Thee I fix mine eye Thou wilt not leave me in the dust In whom my soul doth trust 9. O keep me from the cruell net Which wicked men have set 10. Let them be snar'd in their own trap But let my soul escape PSAL. CXLII 1. WIth low'd-voic'd cries to God I came And my request did frame 2. I powred out my sad complaint And shew'd Him my restraint 3. Thou when my soul was drown'd in woe My way and path did'st know Yet in that walk my feet did tread Close snares for me were spread 4. I did upon my right hand look But no man knowledg took My soul of help was quite bereft And had no refuge left 5. I therefore cry'd to Thee O Lord And said this faithfull word Thou do'st my Help and Portion stand In the Eternall Land 6. Consider then my great distress Brought low with heaviness From persecuters me defend Unable to contend 7. My soule out of the prison bring That I Thy praise may sing And for this bounty shew'd to me The just shall honour Thee PSAL. CXLIII As Psalme 25. 1. O Lord my Prayer heare Presented in Thy feare With mercy answer my request In humblest words exprest 2. Weigh not in judgments scales Thy servants daily failes For no man living in Thine eye Himself shall justify 3. My foes which do pursue My soule by waies undue Make me in darkness hide my head Like those have long been dead 4. My Spirit faint and worne Is by my griefes oreborne My heart within me desolate Through my dejected state 5. Yet I the daies of old In my remembrance hold Thy wonders past I meditate And all Thy works of late 6. To Thee I stretch my hands Like as the thirsty Lands The fruitfull raines desire to see So thirsts my soul for Thee 7. Heare me O Lord with speed My fainting spirit heed Least if Thou frowne I prove like those The pit of Death doth close 8. O let my longing eare Betimes Thy kindnes heare In Thee I trust reveale that Path Thy truth prescribed hath 9. Lord save me from their spight Who in my wrongs delight To Thee my soul for shelter flies Against hir enemies 10. Teach me to do Thy will That I may please Thee still Let Thy good spirit me direct To live with Thine elect 11. Lord quicken me againe Cleanse Thou my sinfull staine For Thy great Name and justice sake My soul from trouble take 12. I am Thy servant Lord My comfort is Thy word Then of Thy goodnes those destroy Who in my sorrowes joy PSAL. CXLIV 1. BLest be the Lord my strength my might Who taught my hands to fight 2. My rock my shield and helper true My people to subdue 3. Lord what is man or what his race Thy notice should him grace 4. Who is so vaine his daies do fade Like to the passing shade 5. O Lord the arched Heavens bow Come downe to earth below Touch their proud tops and then thy stroak Shall make the mountains smoak 6. From Thy full clouds quick lightning cast And them by scatt'ring wast Let Thy sharparrowes 'gainst them shot Destruction make their lot 7. Send from above Thine hand to save Me from the swelling wave 8. From children strange whose mouth speaks hate Whose right hand acts deceit 9. Then I new Songs will sing to Thee Upon the Psalterie And on the ten-string'd Instrument Ditties of praise invent 10. For God salvation gives to Kings His help to David brings From perill of the Sword and grave He doth His servant save 11. Deliver me from strangers hands Whose mouth against Thee bands Whose right hand falshood doth defend Whose deeds in rapine end 12. Our Sons like plants then fresh in growth Shall flourish in their youth Our daughters like faire columnes be Which we in Temples see 13. Our garners shall be fill'd with store Our sheep bring thousands more 14. Our Oxen strong nor shall restraint Cause in our streets complaint 15. Happy that people and that place Which is in such a case Yea blessed are and happy they Who God their
