THE BOOKE OF PSALMES Englished both in Prose and Metre With Annotations opening the words and sentences by conference with other Scriptures BY Henry Ainsworth Ephes 5.18.19 Be yee filled with the Spirit speaking to yourselves in Psalms and Hymns and spirituall Songs singing and making melodie in your hearts to the Lord. AMSTERDAM Printed by THOMAS STAFFORD and are to be sold at his House at the signe of the Flight of Brabant upon the Milke-Market over against the Deventer Wood-Market MDCXLIV A Preface declaring the reason and use of this Booke I Have enterprised Christian reader this work with regard of Gods honour and comfort of his people that his word might dwell in us richly in all wisdom and that we might teach and admonish our selves in Psalmes and hymnes and songs spirituall This I have laboured to effect by setting over into our tongue the Psalms in metre as agreeable to the originall Hebrew as are other usuall translations For the better discerning hereof I turned them also into prose and set these versions one by another to be the more easily compared And because the Psalms have hard words and phrases I have added notes to explain them with brevity which was to me as laborious as if I had made a larger commentary The Text I set down in such manner as I neither omit the grace of the Hebrew tongue wherein the Psalmes were first penned minding how the Apostles writing in Greek do chuse many Hebraisms as having their weight neither yet use I such uncouth phrases as the common reader understands not having herein both rule and example in the new Testament as the learned in tongues do know and I occasionally manifest in sundry annotations For this cause I adde necessary words of explanation which may be known by their different letter and which by warrant of holy scripture may be expressed as I prove in the notes on Psal 2 7 8. and 10 10. and in many other places I differ somewhat in phrase from our former English Bible not because I affect novelty but in Christian liberty which is not tyed to words I use what I judge best without prejudice to other And this falleth out to be the more because these Psalms were not onely translated but many of them printed before I could see our late well amended Translation In pawses which are more frequent here I follow the Originall text where moe are to be seen than our English can well admit of serving both to shew the sense and to read with consideration In the Metre I use somwhat more liberty partly for plainnes sake as putting words for mouth Ps 49.14 chiefest for head Ps 137.6 and sundry the like which in sense are the same and easier for the simple partly for necessity adding somtime words which yet are included in the Hebrew as to blesse thankfully Psal 103.1 2. whereas in the prose I use onely blesse but the scripture proveth thanks to be included in our blessing of God for when one Evangelist saith he blessed Math. 26 26. another saith he gave thanks Luk. 22 19. The like I do in many other epithites taken from the force of the Hebrew word as the skilfull in that tongue know and the notes hereafter manifest The name of God Jehovah or Jehovih I keep in the prose alwayes as I find it written because of the force thereof shewed in the note on Psal 83.19 and to distinguish it from Adonai which we English Lord but in the verse I am forced somtime to contract it into Jah which is also the scripture name Psal 68.5 sometime I turn it LORD as the new Testament expresseth it and sometime I adde the word eternal as the French version turneth it and the Hebrew Jehovah implieth The Verse is much of that measure which we had before but because many Psalms as the 119 and other fall out better in a long verse of ten syllables which without too much adding or detracting I could not well changed I have therefore so set them And because it is our manner to have the verses answer each other with like sounds at the end I also keep the same without violating as I trust the text neither is it to be condemned seeing our language so useth as also the Hebrew in some Psalms beginneth verses with an order of letters Alphabetwise as in Psal 25. and 34. and 37. and 111. and 112. and 119. and 145. Yet rather than I would stray from the text I straine now and then with rules of our English poesie in the just ending alike of both verses and sometime in the quantity of a syllable which in a work of this sort I trust all sincere minded will forgive Tunes for the Psalms I find none set of God so that each people is to use the most grave decent and comfortable manner of singing that they know according to the generall rule 1 Cor. 14 26.40 The singing notes therefore I have most taken from our former Englished Psalms when they will fit the measure of the verse and for the other long verses I have also taken for the most part the gravest and easiest tunes of the French and Dutch Psalmes The Annotations are partly to open the hebrew words and phrases partly to shew the meaning of the text where I finde it opened by other Scriptures for otherwise I chose rather to be silent And herein conference of the new Testament with the old giving much light to many mysteries as may be seen in the 2. the 16. the 22. the 40. the 68. the 110. and many other Psalmes Among the translations which I have compared I much respect the Greek work of the LXX Interpreters which being abroad before the Apostles times they much followed even where it varied from the Hebrew in words but not in meaning as Angels Heb. 2.7 for Gods Psal 8 6. a body thou hast fitted to me Heb. 10.5.10 for mine ears thou hast opened Psal 40.7 and sundry the like Hereupon it is that I so often follow and mention the Greek Yet bind I not my self alwaies to their version finding them often to mistake things some of which the Holy Ghost correcteth as Mat. 2.15 Out of Aegypt I called my son which the LXX had turned his children Hose 11 1. And where they translated Death prevailing hath swallowed up Isa 25 8. the Apostle amendeth it Death is swallowed up in victorie or for ever 1. Cor. 15 54. Where they had weakned the text Exod. 9 16. turning it thou hast been kept alive untill now he more fully expresseth it I have raised thee up Rom. 9 17. Wisdom therefore would not have us to follow them in all things but to weigh the force of the originall Hebrew The Chaldee paraphrase being made by ancient Jews near the Apostles time I sometime alleadge for the meaning of some places Some of the annotations are specially for them that have judgement in the Hebrew tongue the proprieties whereof they explaine others are for more

OF degrees or of ascensions of heighths Heb. ham-mahaloth that is a Psalm to be sung with an high voice as the Levites are said to praise God with a great voice on high Heb. le-mahlah 2 Chron. 20 19.

Sundry other wayes is this title understood as of the stayres that went up to the house of the Lord whereon the singers should stand of the comming up from Babylon called mahalah an ascension Ezra 7 9. c.

generall use of all that will take paines to compare the Scriptures The Table in the end is to help the Reader to find readily the places where words are once opened as Jehovah God Lord and many other which are often used and but once explained the Table directeth to Psal 83.19 Psal 3.3 Psal 2.4 where in the annotations on those places the explanations are found By this also the Reader may see the reasons of some words added in the metre which els might seem strange as where I say O Lord-my stayes Psal 73 20. when in the prose it is but O lord if he look the place where this word Lord is opened Psal 2 4. he shall find the Hebrew to signify my stayes or Sustainers which therefore for the verse sake I sometime annexe Now to speak a word of singing in general The scripture sheweth us two sorts of Psalmes First such as were written by the Prophets and specially David to be left unto the Church as a part of the Canonicall word of God Luke 24.44 Secondly such as were uttered by voice in the assemblies and not written but served for the present use of the Church as other gifts of doctrine interpretation c. 1. Corinth 14.26 The first sort being Gods infallible word were sung in his Church with harmonie of voices and the other scriptures were read 1. Corinth 16.7.8 2. Chron. 29.25.27.30 Act. 25.21 The later sort being but inferiour gifts were sung by him that had them and judged of by those that heard even as doctrines interpretations and other like gifts 1. Corinth 14.26.29.32 Psalmes of holy scripture are perpetually to be sung in the Church For God hath given his word partly in prose to be read partly in metre to be sung Luke 4.16 2. Sam. 23 1 2. Col. 3.16 2. Chron. 29 25 27 30. Psal 98 1 4 c. Also God hath given men the facultie not onely of speaking but of singing and all that is in us is to be used to the lauding of God and edifying of his Church Psal 103 1 2. 1. Corinth 14 26. And although psalteries harps and other instruments were used in Israel with the song Psal 150.3 4 5. 2. Chron. 29 25 26 27. yet doth not the ceasing of that musik abolish the singing of psalms with melodie in our hearts any more than the ceasing of incense which was burned with prayer doth abolish now prayer out of the Church Psal 141 2. Luk. 1 10. But great use and benefit there shall be alway of singing Psalmes as The celebrating of God his name and works Exod. 15 1. Psal 92.2 3 4 and 147 1.

The like may be seen in Mat. 12.42 compared with Luk. 11.31 The original word Dor that is generation race or age hath the signification of durance or durable dwelling and abiding Psal 84.11 and so noteth the whole age or time that a man dureth in this world Eccles 1.4 and so consequently for a multitude of men that live together in any age as here and Deut. 1.35 and in many other places Vers 9. vilenes or Vile-luxuriousnes riotize The word zulluth here used is derived from zolel that is a rioter glutton or luxurious-person Deut. 21.20 Prov. 23.21 and consequently one vile contemptible and naught-worth opposed unto the precious Ier. 15.19 And here vilenes or riotize may either be meant of the vice it self or of vicious doctrine opposed to Gods precious word before spoken of vers 7. or a vile and riotous person may so be called for more vehemency sake as Pride for the prowd man Psal 36.12 See the annotation there Annotation Psalm XIII Vers 1.

But I or And I as for me bounteously-rewarded The originall word Gamal signifieth to give one thing for an other as prosperity after one hath been in adversity c. And though it be sometime used for rewarding evill for good Psal 7.5 or evill for evill Psal 137.8 yet from God to his people it commonly signifieth a bountifull rewarding of good things in stead of evill which we rather deserve So Psal 116.7 and 119.17 and 142.8 and 103 2 10. Annotations Psalm XIV Vers 1 THe foole Nabal which hath the signification of fading dying or falling away as doth a leaf or flower Isa 40.8 1 Pet. 1.24 is a title given to the foolish man as having lost the juice and sap of wisdom reason honesty godlines being fallen from grace ungratefull and without the life of God as a dead karkase which of this word is called Nebalah Levit. 11.40 and therefore ignoble and of vile esteem opposed to the noble man Isa 32.5 The Apostle in Greek turneth it imprudent or without understanding Rom. 10.19 from Deut. 32.21 saith in his heart that is mindeth and perswadeth himself in secret So Psal 10.4 and 53.2 they have corrupted marred to weet themselves Therefore the Greek saith they are corrupted This word is used for corruption both of religion and manners by idolatry and other vices Exod. 32.7 Deut. 31.29 Gen. 6.12 And that which he spake before as of one man he now applyeth to all mankind made abominable or made lothsome to weet their action or themselves as the Greek saith they are abominable or become lothsome So in 1 King 21.26 practise meaning their evill actions therefore in Psalm 53.2 it is ghnavel evill which here is ghnalilah action Vers 3.

Luk. 6.20 and such are eaten or devoured of the wicked Psal 79.7 who eat their flesh and flay off their skin and chop them in peeces as flesh for the cauldron Mic. 3.3 as they eat bread the word as seemeth here to be understood or without it we may read they eat bread that is are secure and without remorse doe give themselves to eating and drinking So eating of bread is used for banqueting Exod. 18.12 Vers 5. There dread they a dread that is they are sore a dread or feare a great fear as Luk 2.9 So hath sinned a sin Lam. 1.8 that is hath grievously sinned And by there he meaneth the suddainnes of it as also in Psal 36.13 or there that is in their heart and conscience because God is this may be taken as a cause of their foresaid fear as Saul was afraid of David 1 Sam. 18.14 15. or it is an opposition to their dread but God is in the just generation and therefore they dread not but are defended from the siege of their enemies as Psal 53.6 Ver. 6.
