DAVIDS PSALMS IN METRE Agreeable to the Hebrew To be sung in usuall TVNES To the benefit of the Churches of Christ By the Reverend Mr. John White Minister of Gods Word in DORCHESTER I will sing with the Spirit and I will sing with the understanding also 1 Cor. 14 15. LONDON Printed by S. Griffin for J. Rothwel at the Fountain and Bear in Goldsmiths row in Cheapside 1655. A PREFACE CONCERNING THIS METRICALL VERSION THE Holy Scriptures one calls the Magna Charta of a Christian the Psalms an Epitome of the Holy Scriptures Rivet Praefat. in Psal The singing of Psalms was under the Law is under the Gospel an Holy Ordinance of God in right performanee whereof Churches and Christians make heavenly melody in their hearts unto the Lord. Eph. 5.19 What hath been objected to breed a discord and what hath been answered to maintain this holy Harmony may be read by such as consult amongst others the Reverend Authours quoted here The Metrical Version of these Psalms now tendred needs no other praise then to know the Authour and the hand that made it In honour of whom being requested to say something I hold my self obliged to give testimony to three things concerning my famous Predecessour and this his work I. That deservedly great is the name good the memory of Mr. John White late of Dorchester especially in these Western parts where he was a burning and a shining light many years and though he bee dead yet by his works that follow him he still speaketh II. That this Version perfected by his own hand and much desired by many had in his life time been Printed were it not that some others were at that time under Consultation and strugling which of them should get the Civil sanction that contest now over his Son with whom he left the Copy was prevailed with to publish this which was his fathers and now let it go forth and prosper III. That though many have done worthily in their essaies to render a better Meeter then the old English Translation from which some wedded to custome will not vary yet many more together with my self do think this Reverend Authour if he have not surpassed them all comparisons are odious yet at least may challenge a place not amongst Davids thirty but amongst his first three He that desireth 1. To sing Davids own Psalms as neer as may be in Meeter in Davids own words without Paraphrase which is so much desired in others shall finde this Version Keep close to Tremellius in Latin and the new Translation in English or where it leaves them to some elegancy of the Hebrew wherewith the Learned Authour was well acquainted if he doe compare them 2. Thus to sing them in good Meeter and easie Tunes shall finde Vulgar quantities and smooth Verse without harsh Synalaephas as in some other Versions 3. No new Versions For he saith the old is better hath not well drank of either for the old prose needed not more new Translation then in many places doth the old Meeter yet where they have done it well the Authour testifieth his Reverend esteem of those Translators by retaining lines and sometimes whole Verses of that Translation To conclude if this present Version finde that acceptance which a former book of his hath done called the way to the Tree of Life discovered in sundry directions for the profitable reading of the Scriptures wherein the Morality and perpetuity of the fourth Commandement in every circumstance thereof is discovered and cleared and the nature of a spiritual man described it will encourage the publication of some other excellent labours of his that are to follow which that it may and especially that the singers of these Psalms may observe the rules set down by the Authours aforesaid is the prayer of his unworthy successour Stanley Gower Dorchester June 13. 1655.
