my paines My vexed spirit to Him complaines 4. My sleeples eyes Thou hold'st awake My tongue perplexed nothing spake 5. The daies of old I meditate The antient times expired date 6. I to remembrance call my Song My wonted mirth omitted long All night I commune with my heart My spirits search to ease my smart 7. Will God for ever us reject Nor by His favour us protect Is His compassion lost and gone His promises not thought upon 9. Hath God His pitty now forgot Or must destruction be our lot Or will His wrath by sin renew'd His tender mercies quite exclude 10. Thus I complain'd And then said I This is mine own infirmity But I remember will the yeares Thy right hand kept from want or feares 11. The wonders which Thou did'st of old Shall with my thankfull tongue be told 12. My heart Thy works Shall meditate My words Thy noble acts relate 13. Thy wayes O God! most holy are Who with Thy greatnes may compare 14. In miracles and wond'rous signes Thy strength among the People shines 15. Thou with that high victorious hand Not all the Nations could withstand The Sons of Iacob did'st redeeme And Iosephs off-spring wilt esteeme 16. O God the waters at Thy sight Unto their depths retir'd with fright The billowes of the troubled maine Shrunk downe and hid themselves againe 17. The melting cloud discharg'd in showres Like to a falling tempest powres Whilst sounds of horrour teare the sky And through the aire thine arrowes fly 18 Loud thunder from the heavens strook Thy lightnings shone earths fabrick shook 19. In the great waters lyes Thy path Which where Thou go'st no footsteps hath 20. Thy people Thou like sheep ha'st led Sav'd from the Sea in deserts fed And brought'st them to their promis'd land By Moses and by Aarons hand PSAL. LXXVIII Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. HEare O my people and encline Your eare unto my Lawes divine 2. I will dark Parables unfold 3. Which we have heard from fathers told 4. We will not from succession hide His works in praises magnifi'd 5. Who gave a Law to Israel Which Parents must to Children tell 6. That generations yet unborne Might know their duty to performe 7. That they their hope in God may set And not His workes or Law forget 8. Nor like their fathers rebells prove With hearts unstedfast in His love 9. Like those revolters Ephraim bred Who armed from the battell fled 10. They Gods command and Pact refus'd 11. His works forgate and pow'r abus'd 12. When Egypts land and Zoans field Such marvailes to their sight did yield 13. For then divided He the deep The floods contracting to an heap 14. By day the Cloud their guide became At night He led them with a Flame 15. He Rocks in barren desarts clave Which drink like swelling rivers gave 16 He caus'd full streams from drought to grow And waters made like torrents flow 17. Yet they by sinning Him forsook And in the desart did provoke 18. They tempted God by asking meat Which they for lust not hunger eat 19. Yea thus against their God they spake Can He in desarts diet make 20. The Rock He did in streames divide But can He bread or flesh provide 21. When God heard this His just mov'd ire 'Gainst Iacob kindled like a fire 22. Because their God they faithles griev'd And His salvation not believ'd 23. Though his command the clouds had try'd The doores of heaven open'd wide 24. He rain'd downe Manna for their meat And gave them corne from heav'n to eat 25. Thus man with Angels food was fed For to the full He gave them bread 26. He caus'd the Eastern wind to blow And made the South His plenty throw 27. He flesh as dust upon them rain'd The fowles like heaps of Sand remain'd 28. They ' midst their Camp with food were cloy'd 29. And all they could desire enjoy'd 30. But whil'st Their mouth the meat in took 31. God's wrath their best choicest strook 32. For all this Israel sinned still His wonders slight neglect His will Second Part. 33. Therefore their daies they vainely spend And all their yeares in trouble end 34. Yet when He slew them then they sought And God to their remembrance brought They turn'd and from their sin retir'd And early after God enquir'd 35. Then God They for their Rock esteem'd Remembring He had them redeem'd 36. Yet with their flatt'ring mouth they ly'd 37. Their heart His Covenant deny'd 38. Though full of pitty He forgave Restrain'd His wrath and Them did save 39. For He remembred They were fraile Whose lusts above His Laws prevaile As passing winds so light and vaine Which breathing out nere come againe 40. Oft did they grieve Him oft rebell 41. Tempting the God of Israel 42. They thought not on His pow'rfull arme Which kept them safe from hostile harme 43. How He His signes in Egypt wrought His wonders over Zoan brought 44. And turn'd their rivers into blood They could not drink the crimsin flood 45. He sent strange flies which them annoy And frogs their plenty to destroy 46. Their fruits the Caterpillars eat And Locusts reap'd the ploughman's sweat 47. With haile their swelling vines were lost Their Sycamores destroy'd with frost 48. Their herds by tempest came to nought Their flocks the furious thunder smote 49 His fiercest wrath on them was spent Bad Angels were among them sent 50. Their soules not spared were from death Disease and plagues depriv'd their breath 51. The first borne He through Egypt slew The chief which Ham or Nilus knew 52. But He His people led like sheep And did His flock in desarts keep Third Part. 53. He brought them safe and free from fear When their pursuers drowned were 54. And to His Sanctuary led The Mount His hand had purchased 55. The Heathen He before them drave Their land by line to Iacob gave And made their tribes in tents to dwell 56. Who tempting God againe rebell 57. They like their fathers backward slide As bowes deceitfull turn'd aside 58. High places Him provoke and prove His jealousie their Idols move 59. When God heard this He waxed wroth And Israel did greatly loath 60. His Tabernacle He forsook And no delight in Shiloh took 61. Their strength He gave to captive bands His Glory to the Heathens hands He left His people to the sword His kindled wrath His Lot devour'd 63. Their young men were consum'd by fire Their maids in marriage none require 64. Their Priests were unto slaughter sent Nor did their widowes them lament 65. Then did the Lord from sleep awake From wine as Giants spirit take 66 Upon His flying foes He came And put them to perpetuall shame 67. He Ioseph's Tent did then refuse Nor would the Tribe of Ephraim chuse 68. But Iudahs Tribe He did elect Mount Sion which His thoughts affect 69. His Sanctuary high He plac't Like earth which stands for ever fast 70 His choyce did then on David looke And
full river yields T' enrich the thirsty fields 10. The setled furrowes soft with showres Take in Thy blessings stores 11. Thou do'st the year with goodnes crowne Thy clouds drop fatnesse downe 12.

Come see His awfull works and might Shew'n in His children's sight 6. He turn'd the Sea into dry land Wher-on their foot did stand 7. He rules in pow'r His eye doth quell The Nations that rebell 8. O blesse our God so justly fear'd And cause His praise be heard 9. Who makes our soule in life abide Nor lets our feet to slide 10. Thou us O God hast prou'd try'd Like silver purify'd 11. Thou broughtest us into the snare Our loines afflicted are 12. Thou wicked men hast suffered To trample on our head We went through fire and water past Yet sav'dst Thou us at last 13. I will into thy Temple bring A thankfull Offering 14. The vow my lips in trouble made Devoutly shall be paid 15. I offer will burnt sacrifice Whilst clouds of Incense rise Rams Goats with Bullocks from the stall Shall at Thy Altar fall 16. O come and heare my words declare How large Gods favours are 17. When with my mouth on Him I call'd And with my tongue extoll'd 18. If wickednesse my heart regard I shall not then be heard 19. But God enclined hath his eare My prayers voice to heare 20.

Sing unto God sing praises lowd To Him that rides upon the cloud The Name of great Iehovah blesse 5. A father of the fatherlesse For he relieves the widowes wants 6. He solitary housholds plants And frees the Captives from their chaine Whil'st rebels are with hunger slaine 7. When Lord Thy people Thou didst lead And marches through the desart tread 8. The Heavens melted the earth shook And Sinai was with terrour strook 9. Yet Thou upon thy Lot didst powre When faint and weary plenties store 10. Thy congregation Thou didst feed Reliev'dst the poore and help'dst their need 11. The Lord Himselfe did give the word And num'rous preachers it record 12. Kings armies fled and took the foyle Whilst women did divide the spoile 13. Though then ye have neglected ly'n Ye shall againe with lustre shine Like to the doves faire plumed wing As Gold or Silver glistering 14. When God great Kings had put to flight The land was like to Salmon white 15. God's Mount is as faire Bashans hill Whose height does earth with wonder fill 16. Why leap ye hills which so excell This is the hill where God will dwell 17. His Chariots twenty thousand are Thousands of Angels serve His war Second Part. 18 Thou ha'st ascended up on high And captive led captivity Did'st ransome those who did rebell That God might still among them dwell 19. Blest be the Lord the God of health Who loads us daily with His wealth 20 He is the God whose saving breath The issues doth command from death 21. But God shall wound their hatefull head Who wilfully in sins are led 22. He said I will my people keep From Bashan bring through the deep 23. That so Thy foot borne through the cries Of fall'n and dying enemies May dipped be in slaughters flood And tongues of dogs lick up their blood 24. How Thou my God King we know Didst in Thy Sanctuary go 25. Singers lead to the Instrument Then Damsels with their Timbrels went 26. Blesse God all yee from Iacob spring 27. Small Benjamin their Ruler bring With Princely Iudah on the Throne Strong Nepthali and Zebulen 28. Thy God for thee did strength command O let Thy work confirmed stand 29. Then presents shall by Kings to Thee In Salems Temple offer'd be 30. Rebuke the peoples brutish spight Those scatter who in war delight 31. So Egypts Princes and the Moore With hands stretch'd out shall thee adore 32. Earth's Kingdomes sing and praise ascribe To God who 'bove the Heavens doth ride His mighty voyce He out doth send 34.

I Thee will love O Lord my pow'r Thou art my fortresse rock and tow'r 2. My God my trust my confidence My horne of safety and defence 3. To God most prais'd I send my Cries Who saves me from mine enemies 4. When pangs of circling death prevail'd And floods of wicked men assail'd 5. I compass'd am with paines of Hell The snares of death about me dwell 6. To God I cry'd distrest and griev'd Who from His Temple me reliev'd 7. The earth then trembled at His wrath Which Hir foundations shaken hath 8. A smoake from out His nostrills came And from His mouth devouring flame 9. He bow'd the Heavens and came downe Beneath His feet was darknesse throw'n 10. On flying Cherubs He did ride 11. On wings of Wind through Heaven glide Thick darknesse His Pavilion made And watry Clouds the sky orelay'd 12. Yet at His brightnesse those gave place Whilst haile and fire powr'd down apace 13 His voyce was heard in thunders loud And coales fell from the breaking Cloud 14. His shafts dispers'd them as they flew Their force His darted lightnings slew 15. The Oceans Chanell did appear The world's foundations naked were At Thy rebuke O Lord and blast Which Thy incensed Nostrills cast 16. He me from many waters tooke 17. My too strong foes with vengeance strook 18. They me in day of trouble seiz'd But God my stay those sorrowes eas'd 19. He brought me to a spacious place Deliv'ring me through His free grace 20. He did my righteousnesse regard And cleannesse of my hands reward 21. For I the wayes of God have kept Nor wickedly His precepts left 22. His judgments I and statutes prize Still placing them before my eyes 23. I perfect was and innocent Nor to ungodly courses bent 24. Therefore as guiltlesse and upright I am rewarded in His sight Second Part. 25. Thou to the mercifull art kind 26. And pure where Thou dost purenesse find 27. But with the froward art perverse Dost save the poor the proud disperse 28. For thou my candle wilt make bright And turne my darknesse into light 29. By Thee I made a Troop to fall And through my God leap'd ore a wall 30. God's way is perfect His
word try'd Doth as a shield the faithfull hide 31. Who can like Him a Saviour be Or who a Rock to us but He 32. T is God that girdeth me with might And keepes me in my wayes upright 33. My feet like Hind's He maketh swift And to high places doth me lift 34. T is He doth teach my hands to warre Steel bowes by them now broken are 35. Thou wast my shield Thy hand sustain'd I through Thy favour greatnesse gain'd 36. My feet enlarged have not fail'd 37. 'Gainst foes pursuit my hands prevail'd 38. Whose pride now quite confounded lies Wounded and fall'n no more to rise 39. Thou girdest me with strength for fight And hast subdu'd the rebells might 40. Their captive necks below me bend And in deserv'd destruction end 41. They cry'd for safety ' midst their feare But God nor help them would nor hear 42. Like dust blow'n up so did I beat And tread them downe in their retreat 43. From mutiny and peoples strife O Lord Thou resku'd hast my life My head ore Nations Thou dost crowne Those serve me whom I have not know'n 44. Soone as they heare they me obay And strangers stoop unto my sway 45. The aliens away shall fade And their close places leave dismai'd 46 Blest be my Rock who ever lives Exalt Him who Salvation gives 47. T is God whose vengeance doth pursue And people under me subdue 48. He saves me from mine enemies And lifts me up 'bove those that rise He is my reskue my defence From men of blood and violence 49. Therefore will I to Thee O Lord My thanks Eternally record Amongst the Heathen speake Thy fame And praises sing unto Thy Name 30. He great deliverance doth bring In love to His annointed King His mercies doth on David powre And on his seed for evermore PSAL. XIX 1. THe Heavens high declare the fame Of God who did them frame 2. One day another tels and night His wonders doth recite 3. They have no language yet they teach Without or tongue or speech 4. And through the earth their sound is gone To every Nation God in the Circle of those spheares A Tabernacle reares In which the swift unweary'd Sun His daily course may run 5. Who as a Bridegroome freshly deckt Doth on the world reflect And as a Giant strong in might Darts forth his piercing light 6. He breaking from the Easterne skies Doth from his Chambers rise And till his beames declining set Nothing can shun his heat 7. Gods Law is incorrupt and whole Converting every Soule His faithfull promise never dies And makes the simple wise 8. The Statutes of the Lord are right And drooping hearts delight Both pure and perfect His command Gives light to understand 9. Most unpolluted is His feare Eternall and sincere The judgments of the Lord are fixt With Truth and Justice mixt 10. More to be wish'd then golden mines When them the test refines And more then hony that distills The mouth with sweetnessefills 11. By These Thy servant warned is Oft as he goes amisse Which yeeld a plentifull reward To all that Them regard 12. Who knowes how often he offends How far his sin extends Lord cleanse my Soule from crimes conceal'd To none but Thee reveal'd 13. Keep me that no presumptuous staine May ore Thy Servant reigne Then shall I walke in innocence Free from the great offence 14. O Lord my only strength and tow'r Who sav'st me by Thy pow'r Let all my words and thoughts by Thee Heard and accepted be PSAL. XX. 1. THe Lord in thy afflictions day Give eare when thou dost pray The Name of Iacob's God defend On whom thy hopes depend 2. Help from His Sanctuary send And strength from Sion lend 3. Thy Gifts in His remembrance prize Accept thy sacrifice 4 May He who comforts doth inspire Grant thee thy heart's desire Make thee enjoy thy wishes still Thy counsailes all fulfill 5. With thankfull and triumphant voyce We in Thy help rejoyce And in Thy Name our banners reare Who wilt thy servants heare 6. Now know I God who power gave Doth His Annointed save He heares from Heav'n and His right hand Makes him in safety stand 7. Some in their armed Chariots force Some put their trust in horse But we remember will the Lord Whose Name doth strength afford 8. They are brought down and fall'n in war We rays'd in triumph are 9. O save us Lord great Heavens King Heare those requests we bring PSAL. XXI 1. THe King shall in Thy strength be glad Through Thee with safety clad 2. Thou gav'st him all his heart desir'd And what his lips requir'd 3. Thou didst no good from him withhold Crownd'st him with purest gold 4. He asked life and Thou didst give Him endlesse dayes to live 5. Great Majesty doth him invest Through Thy Salvation blest Thou giv'st him joy and lasting grace The favour of Thy face 7. The King on God his trust hath plac't Whose Mercy keeps Him fast 8. Thy right hand all Thy foes shall find Whose hate 'gainst Thee combin'd 9. Thy wrath shall those who Thee forsake A fiery Oven make The Lord shall swallow them in ire By His revenges fire 10. Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from earth Root out their childrens birth 11. For they 'gainst Thee did ill invent Though fayl'd in their intent 12. When at their face Thine arrowes aime They turn their back with shame 13. O Lord Thy strength and glory raise So we Thy pow'r will praise PSAL. XXII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. MY God My God upon me look O wherefore hast Thou me forsook Why help'st Thou not when I implore Nor hear'st when I through anguish roare 2 O God by day to Thee I cry But Thou Thy audience dost deny And in the night when I should sleep My sorrowes will not silence keep 3. But Thou in Holinesse dost dwell O Thou the praise of Israel 4. Our Fathers plac'd their trust in Thee And Thy deliverance set them free 5. They cry'd to Thee surpriz'd with feare And from Confusion saved were 6. But I a worme and no man am Reproach of men and peoples shame 7 Beholders Me their pastime make Shoot out their lip their head they shake 8. He trusted God that He would save See if from him he safety have 9. But Thou didst take me from the womb And ever since my hope become 10. On Thee when on the breast I hung And from the birth my care was flung 11. When trouble 's neare O be not far Since left to me no helpers are 12. For many bulls with bellowing sound Strong bulls of Bashan girt me round 13. They gape like Lions Me about 14. I am like water powred out My bones disjoynted torture crackes My heart within me melts like Waxe 15 My strength is like a Pot-sheard dry'd My tongue up to my Palate ty'd 16. Thou brought'st me down unto the grave For dogs my life encompast have Assemblies of the wicked meet They pierced have
Who raise false witnesse me to kill 13. I fainted had but for beleife In endlesse life to find releife Wait on the Lord of courage be O wait on Him will strengthen Thee PSAL. XXVIII 1. TO Thee O Lord my Rock I cry Forbeare not to reply Least I be if Thou silence keep Like those in death that sleep 2. Heare Thou the voyce of my request In accents lowd exprest When I with lifted hands entreat Before thy Mercy seat 3. O draw me not with sinners hence Whose works are Thy offence Who when their hearts would mischiefe wreake Peace to their neighbour speake 4. Give them according to their deeds And wicked labours feeds And in the workes they did invent Render their punishment 5. Because Gods works they set at nought And what His hand hath wrought He cast them to destruction shall Nor build them when they fall 6. Blessed be God who when I pray'd Became my shield and aid 7. Therefore my heart in Songs of Praise With joy His fame shall raise 8. He His Annointed doth defend Strength to His Servants send 9. Thy people save Thine Heritance To endlesse blisse advance PSAL. XXIX 1. YEe Mighty in your Race and Tribe Glory to God ascribe 2. In beauty of His holinesse His Name adore and blesse 3. The Lord by His commanding voyce Brings downe the Waters noyse The Glorious God the Thunder makes Which earth's foundation shakes 4. He rules the Sea with pow'r from high Dreadfull in Majesty 5. His voyce when He in fury speakes The lofty Cedars breaks 6. Like sporting Calves the Mountaines skip Great Lebanon doth leap And Syrion by his Motion borne Like a young Unicorne 7. His voyce the flames of fire divides From clouds when Lightning glides 8. At His rebuke the desart quakes And barren Kadesh shakes 9. Bring forth He makes the frighted Hinds Rends forrests with His Winds And all His glory must declare Who in His Temple are 10. God sits above the Watry maine Doth King for ever reigne 11. He will His peoples strength encrease And blesse them long with peace PSAL. XXX Sing this as the Lamentation 1 O Lord I Thee will magnifie For Thou hast lifted me on high Nor madest me a scorne to those Who were my lifes professed foes 2. O Lord my God I cry'd to Thee Who hast in mercy healed me My Soule Thou brough test from the grave And from the pit of Hell didst save 4. O all ye Saints your voyces raise To sing your Makers endlesse praise Remember still with thankes to blesse And magnifie His Holinesse 5. For but a Moment lasts His wrath His favour life restored hath Our weeping may endure a night But joy comes with the morning light 6. In my prosperity I said My bases are for ever lay'd I shall not from my place remove But stand supported by Thy love No change of times or fortunes hate Can overthrow my happy state For thou my Mountaine mad'st so strong I shall on earth continue long Yet whilst exalted in my thought I was to suddaine trouble brought And soon as Thou didst hide Thy face My comforts vanish'd hence apace 8. Then unto Thee O Lord did I With humble supplication cry I did to God my plaint addresse Thus powring forth my heavinesse 9. O Thou most Glorious most Good What profit is there in my blood What triumph canst Thou gaine by it When I goe downe into the pit Shall silent dust or darknesse have A tongue to praise Thee in the grave Or those in earth who closed are From their low Cells Thy truth declare 10. O Lord Thine eare of mercy lend And from Thy dwelling succour send 11. For Thou the cause for which I mourn'd Hast into Songs and Dances turn'd My Sack-cloath Thou didst off me take And cheerfull robes of gladnesse make 12. That I Thy praises might renew To whom incessant thankes are due PSAL. XXXI Sing this as the Lamentation 1. IN Thee O Lord I put my trust Save me from shame as Thou art just 2. Bow downe Thy gratious eare with speed Be Thou my strong defence at need 3. For Thou my Rock do'st me protect O for Thy Names sake me direct 4. Pull me from out the dang'rous net Which they for me have closely set 5. My spirit I to Thee commit For Thou O God did'st purchase it 6. I hate all those love vanities But on the Lord my trust relies 7. I joy in Thy compassion show'n Who hast my Soule in trouble know'n 8. Thou didst from hostile hands discharge To liberty my feet enlarge 9. Have mercy Lord and send reliefe Mine eye and soule both wast with griefe 10. Through sin I sigh away my dayes My bones consume my strength decayes 11. My foes reproach my neighbours fright I am whilâ—â— friends avoid my sight 12. Like to the dead I sit forgot And uselesse as a broken pot 13. For I their slander heard and strife Who counsaile took against my life 14. But Lord my trust in Thee is lay'd Thou art my God my help I said 15. My fleeting times are in Thy hand Whose short-liv'd date by Thee is span'd Me never to the pow'r expose Or hand of persecuting foes 16. On me O let Thy favour shine To save me through Thy grace incline 17. Thy servant let no shame befall Who daily on Thy Name doth call Let wicked men confusion have Put downe to silence in the grave 18. And shut the lying lips that use The just by slanders to traduce 19. O how great goodnesse hast thou wrought For those thee fear whose faith thee sought 20. Them shalt Thou in Thy presence hide Kept safe from mens insulting pride And from the tongues malitious strife As in a tow'r defend their life 21. Blessed be God whose love endures Whose strong protectâ—â—n me secures 22. I said though in my hast unwise I am cut off before Thine eyes Yet hast Thou not my suit deny'd When in my Pray'r to Thee I cry'd 23 O Love the Lord who His regards And with revenge the proud rewards 24. Be bold since He such grace imparts To strengthen both your hopes hearts PSAL. XXXII 1. BLessed is he whose wickednesse To pardon finds accesse Whose sin with all he did amisse Forgot and cover'd is 2. Blest is the man to whom The Lord Imputes no crime abhord Whose spirit right whose heart is streight And harbours no deceit 3. When I my tongue from speech refrain'd I was with anguish pain'd My bones wax't old through discontent My dayes in moanes were spent 4. Thy hand upon me heavy lay Not resting night or day My Moisture was to nothing brought Like fields in Summers drought 5. Then I to Thee my sin reveal'd And no offence conceal'd And soon as my confession said My peace with Thee was made 6. For this to Thee shall prayer sound What time Thou may'st be found Nor shall the floods which highest goe Thy servants overflow 7. Thou art a refuge me to hide From dangers troubled
tide With Songs of Thy delivery I shall encompast ly 8. I will enforme thy life and teach How thou this blisse shalt reach And with mine eye I thee will guide Least thou should'st tread aside 9. Be ye not like the horse or mule Whom reason cannot rule Whose stubborne mouths the bit and reine From fury must restreine 10. Great plagues and paines that never end For wicked men attend But those in God their trust who place Sure mercies shall embrace Be glad ye righteous and rejoyce Who make the Lord your choice With shouts alowd your joy impart All ye upright in heart PSAL. XXXIII 1. YEe righteous in the Lord delight For praise becomes th'upright 2. Let Harpe and Psaltery's consent The ten-string'd instrument 3.

The Heav'ns bright host and all beneath He formed with His breath 7. He doth the waters of the deep Heap'd in His store-house keep 8. Let men and all which earth doth beare Of Him then stand in feare 9. He spake and at His free commands The world unmoved stands 10. Mens counsailes and devises wrought The Lord will bring to nought 11. Yet through all ages His decree And thoughts unchanged be 12. Blest is the People He protects And for His Lot elects 13. The Lord from Heav'n His dwelling place 14. Beheld all humane race 15. Their hearts He fashion'd whose each thought And worke to light is brought 16. No King is sav'd by multitude Nor man with might endu'd 17. As vaine for safety is the horse To reskue by his force 18. Who feare and on Gods love relye Are ever in his Eye 19.

XXXIV 1. I Will at all times blesse the Lord His praises still record 2 And whilst my soule of God makes choice The humble shall rejoyce 3. The Lord with me O magnifie Exalt His Name on high I sought Him who my prayer heard And sav'd from all I fear'd 5. They look'd to Him and light'ned were No shame their faces beare 6. For God did at the poor man's cry Relieve his misery 7. His Angell those environs round Who in His fear are sound 8. O tast and see how good is Hee To such as faithfull be 9. O fear the Lord yee Saints of His For such no blessings misse 10. Young Lions often lacking prey With hunger pine away But those that seek His Covenant No good thing ever want 11. Come children hearken to my speech I you His feare will teach 12. What man is he long life doth crave Or happy dayes would have 13. Keep thou thy tongue from wicked wile Thy lips from speaking guile 14. Depart from ill in good encrease Pursue and seek for peace 15. For on the just God casts His eyes His eares admit their cryes 16. Against the bad He sets his face To cut them from their place 17. The righteous cry and God attends In trouble safety sends 18. He doth in broken hearts delight And saveth soules contrite 19. Great troubles on the righteous fall But He releives in all 20. He keeps the number of each bone Nor broken shall be one 21. Transgressors their own mischeifs slay And with just vengeance pay All such as doe the righteous hate Shall soone be desolate 22.

The shield for my Protection weare Draw out Thy all-subduing speare Stop Thou my persecutors way Soule I am thy salvation say 4. Let them drove back with shame retire Who to procure my hurt conspire 5. Like chaffe before the Whirlwinds blast Let them be by God's Angell chas'd 6. Darke be their way their steps untrue And let His Angel them pursue 7. For without cause they hid their snare And for my soule did pits prepare 8. But let themselves surprised all In their contriv'd destruction fall 9. My soule in God shall joyfull be 10. My bones all say who 's like to Thee Who keep'st the poor from suff'ring wrong And help'st the needy 'gainst the strong 11. False witnesse did against me rise And things unknowne to me devise 12. For good they me reward with ill To spoile my soule and life to spill 13. Yet when they lay in sicknesse cast I did for them both pray and fast 14. As for my friend or brother borne Or for my Mother did I mourne 15. But of my trouble glad they joyn'd Yea abjects in my scorne combin'd 16. The mocking hypocrites at feasts By flowting me delight the guests 17. How long wilt Thou looke on O Lord Nor reskue to my soule afford O save me from destructions jawes My darling from the Lions pawes 18. Then in the great assembly I Will thanks and praises multiply 19. Let not insulting foes despise Or wink upon me with their eyes 20. They speake not peace but practise strife Disturbing those of quiet life 21. Their mouth 'gainst me they opened wide Ha ha our eye hath seene it cry'd 22. O Lord Thou their despight dost see Nor silence keep nor absent be 23. Stirre up Thy selfe to judgment wake My cause to Thy protection take 24. O judge me in Thy truth least they 25. With joy We have him swallow'd say 26. But let confounding shame them cloath Who love my hurt my quiet loath 27.

How doth Thy love excell Thy wing Man-kind ore-shadowing 8. Thy house to them full plenty brings Who drinke of Thy pure springs 9.

How long will mischiefe ye devise Swift death shall you surprise Ye shall be like a bowing wall Or tott'ring fences fall 4. For they consult to cast him downe Whom God lifts to renowne They blessings with their mouth impart But curses from their heart 5. My soule wait Thou on God alone My expectation 6.

I Thee remember on my bed With crosses wearied And in the watches of the night Thy goodnesse I recite 7. Under the shadow of Thy wing To Thee my Help I sing 8. My soule on Thee alone depends Whose Right hand me defends 9. But those that would my Soule enslave Shall sinke into the grave 10. The killing sword their lives shall slay Or make them foxes prey 11.

That fearlesse and in secret they The perfect man may slay 5. In mischeife they encourage each Of snares make private speech Which when in secret lay'd They cry What eyes shall them descry 6. They both contrive and practise ill Most diligent to kill Which in their heart concealed deep Their thoughts in secret keep 7. But God shall with a suddaine dart Wound their malitious heart 8. So their own tongue betray them shall As causer of their fall Then those deride them shall that see And from their vengeance flee 9.

Blot from the Book of life their soule Nor with thy Saints enroll 29. But I am poore and full of paine O raise me up againe 30. So in my Song I le praise thy Name And thankfull ditties frame 31. Such gifts and sacrifice as these Will God much better please Then fatted Oxen from the stall Which on His Alter fall 32. The meek shall see this and be glad whose hopes on God are stay'd 33. For he will hear the poor mans cryes His pris'ners not despise 34. Let Heaven praise Him Seas and earth With all in them have birth 35. For God will Sions Cities blesse For Iudah to possesse 36.

And though mens wonder I am made My strong defense on Thee is lay'd 8. O let my mouth be fill'd with praise And with Thy honour all my daies 9. Cast me not off when old and fraile Nor me forsake when strength doth faile 10. Mine enemies combine with hate And for my Soule lay daily wait 11.

So never shall my hope give ore But I will praise Thee more and more 15. My mouth shall still Thy mercies shew Whose number I could never know 16. And in Thy strength will I go on Thy goodnesse only mention 17. O God thou me from youth hast taught To speak the wonders thou hast wrought 18. Forsake me not when gray and old Till to this Age Thy pow'r is told 19. Thy righteousnesse O God exceeds Who equall can Thy mighty deeds 20. Thou who hast shew'd me grief paine Shalt quicken me O Lord againe Thy hand shall bring me from the deep Though bury'd low in earth I sleep 21. Thou shalt my greatnes then encrease And comfort me with endlesse peace 22. Therefore O God through all my daies On Psalteries Thy truth I 'le praise And on the harpe Thy mercies tell O Holy one of Israël 23. My joyfull lips to thee shall sing My soul which Thou from death didst bring 24. My tongue Thy justice shall proclaime Who do'st my foes confound with shame PSAL. LXXII As Psalme 51. 1. GIve Lord thy judgments to the King And from his Son let Justice spring 2. So shall the right to all extend And equity the poor defend 3. The mountains then shall bring forth peace The hils by righteousnesse encrease 4. He shall the poor and needy save But break oppressors in the grave 5. All generations shall Thee feare So long as Sun and Moon appeare 6 He shall like raine on grasse new mow'n Or showres that water earth come downe 7. The just shall flourish in His daies And Peace abound whilst light displayes 8. From Sea to Sea His Throne shall reach And from the flood to earths end stretch 9. They who in desarts dwell shall bow His foes as dust His feet below 10. Tarshish the Isles with Sheba's King And Seba shall their presents bring 11. All Kings before Him shall fall downe And every Nation serve His crowne 12. The cries of helples He will heed 13. And save the soules of such as need 14. He shall from violence redeem And pretious their blood esteem 15. Sheba shall Gold for Tribute pay Men praise Him still and for Him pray 16.

GOd unto Israel is kind To those are cleane in mind 2. Yet had my wav'ring feet and faith Almost forsook their path 3. For I to envy could not cease At fools and sinners peace 4. Who not impaire in ages length Nor lessen'd are in strength 5. They not like others troubled are Nor plagu'd with common care 6. They therefore are with proud disdaine Compass'd as with a chaine And as a garment for defence Cover'd with violence 7. Their wanton eye with fatnesse swells And wealth their wish excells 8. They most corrupt oppresse the weak And arrogantly speak 9. They set their mouth 'gainst heaven to
talk Their tongue through earth doth walk 10. Therefore Gods people when they see How prosp'rous sinners be And vexed with their sorrowes sense Incline to their defense 11. So words like these their passion throwes How should we thinke God knowes 12. Who lets the wicked live in health And daily grow in wealth 13. Why vertue then should I retaine I cleanse my heart in vaine In vaine my hands held from offense I wash in innocence 14. For all the daies my life hath seen I have afflicted been My Soule with wants and sorrowes worne Was chast'ned every morne 15. Yet should I not these murmurs check But thus disturbed speak I might thy Children so offend And Thee blaspheming end Second Part. 16. But this I found by flesh and blood Hard to be understood 17. Nor till I to Thy Temple went Could know what these things meant Then I discern'd what they portend And how the wicked end 18. Whom Thou in slippery fortunes plac't Do'st unto ruin cast 19. How are their glories quick as thought To desolation brought They in a moment turn'd to teares Consume by their own feares 20. God as a dreame when one awakes Their Image vanish makes Causing their late admirers eyes Them now as much despise 21. Thus was my heart perplex'd with paines And anguish prick'd my reines 22. So foolish in my thoughts disrest Am I so like a beast 23. Yet I by Thee am still sustain'd Held up by Thy Right hand 24. Thy counsail here shall me direct Then crown with Thine Elect. 25. Whom have I in the heav'ns but Thee Who can my Saviour be And through the spatious earth I none Desire but Thee alone 26. My drooping heart doth daily faile My flesh corrupt and fraile But Thou the strength'ner of my heart And lasting portion art 27. Who far from Thee revolting fly Shall perish utterly For Thou destroy'st and castest low Such as to Idols bow 28. But it is good with holy feare That I to God draw neare To Thee my hopes entrusted are Who will Thy works declare PSAL. LXXIV Sing this as the Lamentation 1. WHy art Thou absent Lord so long Regardlesse of Thy Servants wrong Or wherefore doth Thy kindled ire Thy sheep and Pastures burne like fire 2 O think upon Thy chosen Lot Nor let Mount Sion be forgot And may the tribe thou did'st redeeme Be ever deare in Thy esteeme 3. Lift up Thy feet bring those to nought Who 'gainst Thy Church have evill wrought 4. Thine adversaries roar and shout They hang in scorne their banners out 5. The carved workes whose art and cost Thy Temples building once did boast 6. Are into pitty'd ruin throw'n And with their hammers broken down 7. Thy Holy Place they turne to flame Defile the dwelling of Thy Name And in their wicked hearts designe Hir glories quite to undermine 8. With generall havock let us rase The Sanctuaries hallow'd place Gods Houses thus in ashes lay'd Are wofull heaps of rubbish made 9. We see no Signe nor Miracle No Prophet have who can foretell Not one hath knowledge to forecast How long these miseries shall last 10. O God! still shall the foe blaspheme And make Thy Name dishonours theme 11. Thy vengefull hand no longer hide But stretch it forth to strike their pride 12. For God is my all pow'rfull King From whom earths help safety spring 13. Thou did'st restraine the rising tide And with Thy strength the Sea divide Thou brak'st th' Aegyptian Dragons head And left'st him on the waters dead 14. Leviathan that sports the flood Thou gavest for Thy peoples food 15. Thou from the rock mad'st fountaines flow And swelling Seas dry land to grow 16. Thine is the day the Suns faire light Thine are the courses of the night 17. The borders which the earth confine Are set and bounded by Thy line The Summers heat and winters cold From Thee their yearly seasons hold 18 Remember Lord Thy House defil'd Thy Name by blasphemies revil'd 19 O give not up Thy Turtles life A spoile to adversaries strife Let not Thy Congregation mourne Reproach'd by Them of Thee forlorne 20. Look on the Covenant and see Earth dark'ned by their crueltie 21. Let not th' opprest returne with shame But let the needy praise Thy Name 22. Arise O God! maintaine Thy cause Thy Temples honour and Thy Lawes Remember their blaspheming noise Thine enemies insulting voice 23. Their insolence who Thee despise Doth still encrease and higher rise PSAL. LXXV 1. TO Thee O God with gratefull heart To Thee we thanks impart How neare and helpfull is Thy Name Thy wond'rous works proclaime 2. When I advanc'd to Judah's throne Shall rule the Nation In justice will I take delight And judge the peoples right 3. The earth with hir inhabitants Through feare dissolves and faints Yet of hir loose declining frame The Pillars I sustain 4. I said unto the foolish men Deale not so madly then And unto those Gods precepts scorne Exalt not you the horne 5. Lift not your selves against His check Nor speak with a stiffe neck 6. Promotion comes not from the east Nor South nor from the West 7. But God as Judge our fortune guides Our lot of life divides He one man lifts unto the Crowne And puts another downe 8. He holds a cup whose wine is red Full mixt and tempered For wicked ones the dreg and lee Wrong out to drink shall be 9. I will in Songs of praise declare The God of Iacobs care 10. The hornes of Pride cut off will I But lift the Just on high PSAL. LXXVI Sing this as the Prayer after the Commandements 1. IN Iudah God is know'n His Name The Israelites for Great proclaime 2. His Tabernacles Salem grace And Sion is His dwelling place 3. There He the Bow and arrowes broke And Battailes to confusion shooke The glittering sword the guarding shield Could not resist nor safety yield 4. Thou of more honour art then they Who rove upon the Hills of prey 5. For They whose pride did us embroile Are now themselves become a spoile A lasting sleep shuts up their eyes And all their strength in weaknes dyes 6. At Thy rebuke the barbed horse And armed Chariots loose their force 7. Thou Lord art fear'd who may withstand The fury of Thy pow'rfull hand 8. From Heaven we Thy Judgments heard The trembling earth was still and fear'd 9. When God the meek and humble saves But gives the proud untimely graves 10. He on their fall his fame doth raise And turnes their malice to His praise 11. Vow to the Lord your God and bring To Him your promis'd offering 12.

Thou mark'st our deeds our sins of night Are alwayes open to thy sight Making the breach of thy pure Lawes Our death and swift destructions cause 9.

This great Lord must be greatly prais'd Whose feare above all Gods is rais'd 5. For Heathen Gods are Idols vaine But 't is the Lord doth heav'n sustaine 6. Honour and awe are him before His sanctuary strong in pow'r 7. Ye kindreds then on earth that live Unto the Lord due honour give 8. Ascribe all glory to his
fill 22. They may His name and praise declare When all the people gather'd are 23. He hath my strength to weaknes brought My Short'ned dayes are come to nought 24. 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
and counsaile fell 12. Therefore their heart by labours broke Found none to ease them from their yoak 13. Then they their cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 14 He them from death and darknes brought And freedome from their bondage wrought 15. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 16. For He the gates of brass hath broke The iron barres in sunder strook 17. The foolish for their acted sin Have by His hand afflicted bin 18. So that their soul in sicknes cast Abhorring meat could nothing tast 19. Then they their cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 20. His word He sent them which reveal'd Their sorrowes and dejections heal'd 21. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great mercies doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 22. And let their Songs of gladnes rise To pay their thankfull sacrifice Second Part. 23. They that in ships their trafick keep 24. Behold Gods wonders in the deep 25. For he commands the storme to blow 26. Whose billowes them to heaven throw Then downe they fall as if their graves Were made beneath the gaping waves 27. They stagger to and fro and reele And like a drunkard rowles the keele 28. Then they their cries to God address Who them delivers from distress 29. He calmes the storme whose rage gives ore 30. And lands them on the wished shore 31. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 32. In great assemblies bless his Name And 'mongst the Elders speak his fame 33. Who rivers like a desart dryes Makes parched sands where springs did rise 34. He barren makes a fruitfull ground For sins which in the Land abound 35. Then to a poole the desart brings And turns dry grounds to water springs 36. There He the hungry soules hath fill'd That they may live and Cities build 37. To plant the vine and sowe the field Which may hir fruits with plenty yield 38. He multiplies and gives them peace Their flocks not suff'ring to decrease 39. Againe they few when sinfull grow His punishments then brought them low 40. He mighty Princes put to scorne Makes them like wanderers forlorne 41. Yet setteth He the poor on high And spreads like flocks his family 42. The righteous will rejoyce to see When envies mouth shall stopped be 43. Who so is wise will hence record The loving kindnes of the Lord. PSAL. CVIII 1.

My good with evill they requite And my affection pay with spight 6. Let wicked rulers him command And Satan stand at his right hand 7. Let him when judg'd receive his doome And let his pray'r his sin become 8. His daies both few and irksome make His office let another take 9. May fatherless his children live His wife forlorne a widow grieve 10. Like vagrants let them want their bread And where they beg it not be fed 11. Let him be made extortions spoyle And strangers reap his harvests toyle 12. None him their pitties object make Nor on his seed compassion take 13. His name from earth and Off-spring blot In the succeeding age forgot 14. And ever let the Lord retaine His Fathers sin and Mothers staine 15 Still let them stand before His ey To cut from earth his memory 16. Who merciless the poor pursu'd And wounds of broken hearts renew'd 17. Feele he those curses which he lou'd All blessings be from him remov'd 18. As curses cloath'd him round about So seize they him within without Like water through his bowels flow'd Or oyle into his bones bestow'd 19. So let them cloath and gird him fast Returning on himself at last 20. Thus let the Lord reward my foes Who to reproach my soul expose 21. But for the mercies of Thy Name Deliver me O Lord from shame 22. For I am poor and prest with need My wounded heart doth inward bleed 23. I like the falling shadow go As puffs of wind the Locusts throw 24. My feeble knee through fasting failes And faintnes ore my flesh prevailes 25. I am their scorne and laughter bred They looking on me shake their head 26. Help me O Lord who mercy crave 27. That they may know thy hand can save 28. Bless when they curse their pride confoūd But let me live with gladnes crown'd 29. Lord let my shamed enemy In sharp confusion cloathed ly 30.

But how shall we sing the Lords Song His Enemies among Or tune His Notes in strangers Land That cannot understand 5. O deare Ierusalem when I Forsake thy memory May my skill faile my right hand let Her cunning quite forget 6. Cleave to the roof O may my tongue When I not mourne thy wrong Or if I not preferr thy mirth Above all joyes on earth 7. In thy remembrance Lord retaine Proud Edoms fierce disdaine Who 'gainst Ierusalem did cry Mocking hir misery Now she is fall'n nere may our eyes Againe behold hir rise Down with it their rude clamours sound Rase it ev'n to the ground 8. O Babylon which did'st us wast Thy self our woes must tast And in thy finall ruin we Sions revenge shall see Happy are They who to requite The measure of thy spight 9. Without all pitty 'gainst the stones Shall dash thy little ones PSAL. CXXXVIII 1. I Thee will praise with my whole heart My thankfull hymnes impart Before the Gods of Earth I 'le sing My praise to Heaven's King 2. I towards Thy Temple worship will And praises utter still Thy word and Name shall loudly sound Whose love and truth abound 3. When in my plaints to Thee I cry'd Thy love as soon reply'd My fainting spirit was renew'd With strength my soule endu'd 4. The Kings of earth Thy praise shall beare When they Thy words do heare 5. They in the waies of God shall sing The glory of their King 6. For though the Lord be very high Yet He cast's downe His eye The meek and lowly He respects But all the proud neglects 7. Though I in mid'st of trouble live Yet Thou wilt me revive Thy stretch'd out hand my wrathfull foes To ruin shall expose 8. The Lord my comforts will assure By mercyes which endure Cease not of me regard to take Nor Thine own works forsake PSAL. CXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. LOrd thou hast throughly searched me I open am and know'n to Thee 2. My sitting downe and my up-rise Are not concealed from Thine eyes Thou understand'st my distant thought Ere it to forme my self had brought 3. Thou circlest in my path and bed And hast my waies discovered 4. Thou hear'st each whisper from my tongue And ere 't was utter'd knew'st it long 5 By Thee I fashion'd am and made Thy hand each part in order lay'd 6. Yet can I not the knowledge gaine How I this being did attaine Which doth in wonder so excell 'T is easier to admire then tell 7. How shall I from Thy spirit fly Or Thy all present pow'r deny 8. If I climbe Heav'n 't is Thine own Shere If stoop to Hell lo Thou art there 9. If borne upon the mornings wing Far as the Sea doth swell or spring 10. Thy Right hand shall protect and lead Where ere my weary footsteps tread 11. If I pretend the darknes shall Upon me like a cov'ring fall Those heavy fogs those mists of night Will quickly cleare and turne to light 12. The thickest shade or blackest cloud Can nothing from thy knowledg shrow'd For darkness doth like Noon-tide shine Light'ned by brighter beams of Thine 13. My reines are Thine Thou mad'st the womb My bodies cloathing to become 14. I will give thanks to Thee O Lord Who was enlived by Thy word With awfull art and wond'rous forme Thou did'st Thy workmanship adorne My soule Their marvels must confess And for Thy favours daily bless 15. Though I was fashion'd in the dark Too secretly for man to mark There is no curious joynt or bone But was to Thy inspection know'n 16. Thou did'st upon my substance look And wrot'st each member in Thy book Thou saw'st how
my imperfect frame By daily growth to figure came 17. O Lord how pretious O how deare Thy purposes and thoughts appeare 18. Which were they summ'd in my account They would the num'rous sands surmount These wonders alwaies present ly Fixt in my thankfull memory And whil'st of them surveies I take My contemplation still must wake 19. O God! Thou shalt the wicked slay Ye bloody men depart away 20. For their fowle tongues Thy honour staine And take Thy sacred Name in vaine 21. Do not I hate and grieve at those Whose proud despight against thee rose 22. With perfect hate I them despise Accounting them mine enemies 23. Search me O Lord and prove my heart Who Judg of all my actions art Do Thou my faith to tryall bring My hidden thoughts examining 24. Look well and all my motions view If I persist in waies untrue And when Thou find'st my feet to stray Reduce me to Thy lasting way PSAL. CXL 1. SAve me from men to evill bent And from the violent 2. Which mischeif in their hearts devise In war and tumult rise 3. Their tongues are like a Serpents whet Their lips in poyson set 4. Lord keep me from the raging foe That would my feet orethrow 5. The proud have hidden nets prepar'd To take my life ensnar'd 6. But I Thou art my God have said O heare and send me aid 7. O God my Lord the strength alone Of my salvation In day of battaile Thou my head Hast safely covered 8. Grant not O Lord their bad desire Least then their pride aspire 9. Let suddaine mischeif cover those Who would my life enclose 10. Let quenchless fire upon them raine Nor let them rise againe 11. No violent man nor evill tongue On earth be stablish'd long 12. I know the Lord will them maintaine Who have afflicted lay'n Their cause regards and doth delight To help the poor to right 13. For this unto Thy Name the just Their thanks acknowledg must And those who live upright and well Shall in Thy presence dwell PSAL. CXLI 1. TO Thee I cry O Lord make hast To heare my voice at last 2. 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
Lord obey PSAL. CXLV Sing this as Psalme 100. 1. I Thee extoll my God and King And of Thy Name for ever sing 2. I Thee will bless through all my daies And yield Thy Name eternall praise 3. Great is the Lord prais'd and admir'd His greatness is by none exquir'd 4. Each generation shall declare How mighty His atchievements are 5. I will Thy glory celebrate Thy wond'rous works Majestick State 6. Thy acts of terrour and of fame All men shall speak and I proclaime 7. They shall abundantly profess Thy goodness and Thy righteousness 8. Whose grace and full compassions flow To mercy swift to anger slow 9. God's goodness every where extends His mercy all His works transcends 10. All things O Lord Thou did'st create And Saints Thy praise shall celebrate 11. Their tongues Thy Kingdom 's rule make know'n By them Thy glorious acts are show'n 12. That all the Sons of men may see Thy mighty pow'r and Majestie 13. Thy Kingdom doth for ever last When men decay and time is past 14. God doth uphold all such as fall And men cast downe from ruin call 15. The eyes of all on Thee attend Who in due season meat do'st send 16. Thy open hand when need requires Doth satisfie their just desires 17. The Lord is right in all His waies In Holiness His works He layes 18. The Lord is good and nigh to all Who faithfully upon Him call 19. He their desire will satisfie Who feare Him and regard their cry 20. Saves all that love Him from annoy But all the wicked will destroy 21. Therefore my mouth to speake His praise Shall lowd and thankfull accents raise And let all flesh whom He did frame For ever bless His Holy Name PSAL. CXLVI 1. TTo God my soule His praises give And bless Him whil'st I live 2. I will to Him my thankes up send Untill my being end 3. Put not in Princes any trust Nor in the Sons of dust Who nor themselves nor others save From the devouring grave 4. Soon as man breathless doth remaine He turnes to earth againe And as his time of life expires So perish his desires 5. O therefore happy he whose faith On God relyance hath Who makes the fear of Him his scope And object of his hope 6. He Heav'n and earth and Sea did frame With all that Those containe And when their frame is quite defac't His truth shall ever last 7. He doth the wronged help to right Who are opprest by might Feeds those that are to want expos'd And hath the Captives loos'd 8. He to the blind restores their eyes He makes the fall'n to rise He upon such bestowes his care Who just and faithfull are 9. The Lord all strangers doth receive And fatherless releive When wicked men are overthrowne And all their hopes cast downe 10. The Lord thy God O Sion reignes His glory still remaines Then to thy everlasting King Eternall praises sing PSAL. CXLVII 1. PRaise ye the Lord a pleasant thing It is His praise to sing 2. God ruin'd Salem doth repaire Whose out-casts gather'd are 3. He heales and binds the broken heart Relieves the wounded's smart 4. The sparkling Starres He numbers all And by their names doth call 5. Great is our Lord and strong His might His Wisdome infinite 6. He doth the meek exalt and crowne But cast's the wicked downe 7. To God the Lord so good so great Your thankfull hymnes repeat And to the Harpes melodious string His constant praises sing 8. Who heavens face with vapour shrowds And covers it with clouds Who powres his raine on earth below And makes the Mountaines grow 9. He gives his food unto the beast And from their airy nest When the young ravens to Him cry Feeds Them abundantly 10. He not delights in strength of horse Nor values humane force 11. But those who make His feare their scope And in His mercy hope 12. Ierusalem O praise the Lord Sion Thy God record 13. Who barres thy gates to give thee rest And hath thy children blest 14. He maketh in thy borders peace Fills thee with cornes increase 15. His wing'd commands most swiftly run And soon as said are done 16. He giveth like the wooll his snowes Hoare frost like ashes strowes 17. Casts forth his Ice like morsells roll'd Who can withstand His cold 18. He sendeth out His word and Law Which melts them to a thaw He causeth His strong wind to blow And makes the waters flow 19. His word He doth to Iacob shew Makes him His judgment know And to his chosen Israel He doth His Statutes tell 20. He with no Nation so did deale Nor thus His Love reveale Who nor His judgments knew nor word Therefore Praise ye the Lord. PSAL. CXLVIII To the proper Tune 1.
