cannot reach so high stoop Thou to me II. Hear me my God for I am wondrous low And to the grave my life draws nigh Loaded with cares my Soul do's go And in the Pit is readie down to lie Already I am numbred with the Dead And that small strength I had Weakness at best is fled III. Free as the Dead and like one long since slain Who is forgotten in the Grave And never shall return again Or but upon his Tomb Memoriall have Low in the Pit I 'm lai'd down in the Deep And its rough waves my head do under water keep IV. Far from me Thou hast put my Nearest Friends Who as forsaken look on me Because my God no succour sends They think me hated or unknown to Thee As in a Pest-house quite given o're I 'm laid And those who pitty me are of my Sores afraid V. My eyes with teares o'recome yet look to Thee And for Thy help I daily cry When at night I cannot see With stretcht out armes I feel if Thou art nigh Wil t Thou say I to th'Dead Thy wonders show Let me but see them Lord and Thou do'st truly so VI. Shall the Dead rise and praise Thee or Thy love Be in the Land of Darkness seen Shall in the Grave Thy Praise improve Sung there where silence has for ever been Where dark oblivion uncontroll'd do's reign And dismal Horror riots o're the empty Plain VII And then again I new Petitions make And would prevent Thee with my Prayer With Thee the Morning do's partake And with my tears instead of dew looks fair But thou withdraw'st Thy self and out of sight Hid'st in thick Clouds that Face which gives me all my light VIII From my youth up I have Thy Terrors felt Ready with grief and pain to die Thy Wrath like fire my Soul do's melt And quite consumes what it should purifie Or like a troubled Sea do's o're me roll And thus by several Deaths or burns or drowns my Soul IX Far from me Thou hast put my Nearest Friend Whom Thou at first to me didst give Through Death Our Friendship cannot end For in the sad Survivour it shall live My Dear Acquaintance in the grave is laid And Two whom God made One Death again Two has made P.M.O.C. Psalm LXXXIX Misericordias Domini in aeternum c. IN flowing Numbers I resolve to sing The Truth and Mercies of th' Eternal King That late posterity His love may know Both what He did and what He 's sworn to do That Faithfullness which He has said shall stand Like Heav'n first made and stablisht by His hand When thus He spake I have to David past My Word and with an Oath have bound it fast Saying Thy seed I 'll bless upon Thy Throne And make its rule Eternal like my own Angels for this Thy Wonders must declare Such praises too sublime for Mortals are Who only can below admire Thy love Not joyn with but attend the Quire above For who in Heav'n with Thee can be compar'd Whom all adore as Thou by all art fear'd Or who among the mighty Sons of Earth Is like to Thee who gav'st their Mother Birth Before whose Throne Blest Saints and Angels bow And cast those Crowns which to Thy hand they owe. Whose great Commands the Heavenly Host obey And execute the charge which Thou dost lay So Just so True so full of Majesty Lord like Thy self Thou art and none like Thee The Sea when it to Heav'n in storms do's rise At Thy Rebuke in Humble Vallies lies Asunder Thou didst break the threatning Wave And in its bowels mad'st Proud Pharaohs grave The Heav'n with all its glorious Flames are Thine And with reflection from Thine eye they shine The Earth and all the stores the Earth containes Of Thy first fulness are the Mighty Dreins Thou bid'st it stand unmov'd above the Flood And saw'st what er'e Thy hand had done was good The North and South and all its coasts around Thou for Thy Pleasure first did'st make and bound Tabor and Hermon in Thy Name rejoyce And up to Thee the Vallies raise their Voice No Pow'r can Thy All-conqu'ring Arm with-stand So strong is that so high is Thy Right Hand Justice and Faithfulness uphold Thy Throne Mercie and Truth 's the Base it rests upon A thousand Graces round about Thee flie And take new life and vigor from Thine eye Thrice happy land whose Sovereign Lord Thou art Who hear Thy Law and to it yield their heart Who in Thy gracious Presence ever dwell And all the stories of Thy Power can tell Who have Thee for the subject of their Verse And every day can of Thy Truth reherse Thine Lord who art their strength their Fort and Tower And on their heads the Anointing Oyl dost poure Thou art Our God and we Thy Praise will sing Who in Thy stead o're us mad'st David King For thus His Will God to His Prophet told And in a Vision made Him it behold Saying I searcht the People all around And now to my Own Heart a Man have found David on whom the Burden shall be laid Of ruling Israel and their King be made I have anointed him with Him my Hand Shall both to conquer be and to command I from Conspiracies his Crown will guard And all his gates shall be most surely barr'd Before His Face his Enemies shall fall And unto me in vain for succour call For down I 'll tread them but his head will raise And with my Truth and Love make plain His Wayes His Empire to the River shall extend And only where the Earth finds hers have end All Lands and Seas to him shall tribute yield And of his conquests be the fruitful field By Name of Father to Him I 'll be known Of God and Rock and he shall be My Son My First-born higher than the Kings of th' Earth With Rule and Subjects worthy of his Birth My Oath and Covenant shall with him stand fast And I 'll that Promise keep which I have past Nor shall it be confin'd to him alone But his seed too shall have their Fathers Throne ' Which as the dayes of Heav'n shall constant be And know no bounds but vast Eternity If they my Statutes and my Laws forsake And break the Covenant which this day I make Then I their Sins will visit with a Rod But never cease to be their King and God ' My Mercie and my Truth will ne're remove Nor take away though I may hide My love My Promise and my Vow I 'll never break Nor change the Word which once my Mouth did speak For by my self I once to David swore And by My Holiness confirme't once more His seed and Throne like Heav'n shall constant be And know no bounds but Vast Eternity Witness ye Heav'ns which in my sight remain And you bright stars that in your Courses reign Both Sun and Moon against Me Witness be If Time it self endures so long as He This Thou hast

I. Guard of my Life and God of all my Praise Who see'st the Outrage off'red me Thy self and Power for my just sentence raise Nor let the wrongs I bear reflect on Thee Thou hear'st what cruel Words the wicked speak Let not them only and not Thou Thy Silence break II. With words of hatred I am girt around And from all parts they with me fight So hard that I am all but one great wound And the whole cause I give them is my Right With prayers for them their malice would reprove But those with Scorn with hatred they reward my Love III. Let him some Tyrant serve be made a Slave And Satan place at his right hand No other pitty find than what he gave And at his Enemies tribunal stand Let him be judg'd condemn'd and all his prayers Be made in vain to deaf or else to stubborn eares IV. Let suddain death his wretched life attend His office to another give Let on his wife and seed the curse descend They Fatherless and she a Widdow live Let them be vagabonds and begg their bread And have have no certain place to hide or rest their head V. Let the Extortioner catch all he has And strangers to his labours come Let him find none who will resent his case But with new miseries encrease the summ None who will to him any Mercy show Or on his Fatherless one friendly look bestow VI. Let them be all cut off and their curst Name In the next age be quite forgot Or if they be remembred let their shame On their Atchievments be a constant blot Let his fore-Fathers Sins be in Thine ey And all his Mothers lusts afresh for vengeance cry VII Let silence or reproach upon him rest And as it ne're was in his minde Either to favour or relieve th' opprest Neither reliefe nor favour let him find But as the Needy he with wrongs persu'd On his own head Let them be all again renew'd VIII As he Lov'd cursing let him still be curst And hated blessing seek in vain With envy which first swel'd him let him burst And then like water on him turn ' it again Like Oyle let it to ' his very marrow pierce And like those flames which boyle it be but far more fierce IX Give him no other garment for his pride Than this with which he was array'd Close with his girdle let his loines be ty'd To all a terror of himself afraid And executed by the hand Divine Let this his ruine be who only plotted mine X. But Lord my God for thine own great Names sake And for I hy Mercy rescue me Thou who the poor mans cause do'st undertake As ready to assist the helpless be Look how I stooping go and bow'd to th' ground But there no herb can find to ease or heal my wound XI My dayes and age are like a shaddow gon That when the Sun withdraws is lost And as the locust driven up and down From field to field from land to land I 'm tost My knees and flesh of strength through fasting fayl And those who wounded me with scornes my life assail XII But Lord my God for Thine Own great Names sake And for Thy Mercy rescue me That all may know the care Thou ' art pleas'd to take And in my sure deliverance honour Thee Bless Thou and let them curse confound their noise And make them all asham'd whilst I in Thee rejoyce XIII Shame and confusion to my Enemies Let it their Vest and Portion be Whilst I to Heaven in tuneful Numbers rise And tell abroad what God has done for me How from Oppession he the Poor did save And what his judges had deny'd just sentence gave Psalm CX Dixit Dominus Domino meo c. I. THE Lord said to my Lord The Mighty God to the Eternal Word Sit Thou at my Right hand Till I Thine Enemies command To be the Foot-stool to Thy Throne And freely yield their necks for Thee to tread upon II. Sion's that glorious Throne Whence with disdain Thy foes Thou look'st upon Thence Thou around shalt reign And by Thy Power new subjects gain Thy Enemies shall They obey And once return'd none shall more Loyall be than they III. And as the Summer Sun When Winters past and all its rage is done Do's every Morning view His way all strew'd with pearly dew Whose Numbers cannot reck'ned be T is a faint Emblem of Thy long Posterity IV. His Oath God will not break But King and Priest Thou ' art like Melchisedoc The Lord at Thy Right hand Shall let no Proud Usurper stand But Kings shall bow and in Thy Train Be captive led whilst there 's made Trophies of the slain V. He the Great Head shall wound When it shall Queeen of all the World be crown'd Drink of the brook i' th' way And follow till He gives the day But when His Cross shall death strike Dead Th' Eternal God Himself shall raise and crown His head Psalm CXI Confitebor tibi Domine c. I. WIth my whole heart I 'll praise the Lord Word And where He chose to honour it exalt His In the Assemblies of the just There will I all His noble Works disclose His Famous Acts sought out of those Who them their pleasure make and Him their Trust. II. His glorious Works are great and high No more to be conceiv'd than seen by mortal eye And shall for ever so remain Eternity it self is scarce enough To praise His Mercy and His Love And what we now unknown admire make plain III. He for His People did provide And never broke His Word or Covenant deni'd They saw His Signes beheld His hand How for their sake He made His power appear Prepar'd them conquests by the fear Which He sent first into their Enemies land IV. Justice and Truth are all His Wayes And on Eternal Faithfulness His Promise staies Beyond all ages they shall last And when Old Time it self away shall flee Remain as firm as now they bee And on their own great Basis fixt stand fast V. Deliverance He for Israel wrought And to save them His greatest plagues on
be Which from the Righteous Judge of all does go His Judgments are from all injustice free Are Just themselves and make us so The finest gold near them looks wan and pale And hony from the Comb do's of its wonted sweetness fail VI. Gain and reward in them are found Sometimes they are my staff sometimes my guide But Lord how often have I fell to ground And in my secret wandrings gone aside Cleanse me O God and through Thy grace Let not presumptuous sins of me take hold But let my Innocence still keep its place And make me in the Judgment bold Hear me O Thou who my Salvation art That when my'heart moves my lips Thy Spirit may move my heart Psalm XX. Exaudiat te Dominus c. I. SO may Thy God be always near Nay Jacobs God all Thy Petitions hear And when Thy Enemies huge Armies send As if they would Thy land devour And with their numbers Thee ore'power Then may His Name be Thy strong Tower To break their rage and Thee from danger to defend II. From Sion may Thy aids appear Invincible as He who governs there With fire from Heav'n may he Thy Offrings crown And as with every Sacrifice Thy prayers and that again do's rise Till they together reach the skies Let thy God meet them and as they ascend come down III. May He Thy just desires fulfill And always fix Thy counsels to His Will 'T is done O King and in it we rejoyce Let the whole World our shoutings hear What we adore let them all fear Honour Him far and dread him near Let the whole World hear Ours God Himself Thy voice IV. Our God shall hear Thee and His hand Mov'd by His ear deliv'rance shall command From Heav'n He shall His mighty arm unbare Brandish His Sword and make it seen Nothing but blood shall come between And He who has Thy Saviour been Shall be Thy praise as once the subject of Thy prayer V. Let others on their Troops rely Chariots and Horse which Vict'ry can out-fly We on the Name of God will only stay That shall Our Horse and Chariots bee Our Armies and Our Victory Let but us Lord be kept by Thee We shall stand Conquerours when they fall or run away VI. Already they are all brought down But on Thy head God has set fast the Crown May He be still to Thee propitious Always incline a willing ear To His Anoynted still be near And Thy petitions ever hear And as He hears Thee Gracious King mayst Thou hear us Psalm XXI Domine in virtute tuâ c. I. GReat God who Wonders for Our land hast done And sav'd Our King whom Thou mad'st so Again hast set Him on the Throne And made His Fathers foes before Him bow Our King shall in Thy strength rejoyce That He was Thine as well as His own peoples choice II. Thou didst not ever His requests deny Nor to His Vows shut up Thine ear In vain He did not always cry Though Heav'n which saw His wrongs seem'd not to hear For the desires He thither sent Thou with unhop'd for blessings didst at last prevent III. He only sue'd for Life Thou gave'st a Crown And on His head hast set it fast The Royall Diadem never shone With so great lustre or so long to last To Kings which from Him shall proceed Not to His head alone secur'd but to His seed IV. Home Thou hast brought Him and so fixt Him here All say His power is most like Thine The Honours Thou hast made Him bear Have rendred Him and Monarchy Divine That for their Kings Our Sons shall wish Like Him they all may be and all their Reigns like His. V. For in the Lord His confidence He plac'd And up to Heav'n for help did fly And having there His anchor cast Our Seas He knew could never rise so high And that the Ocean which was there Was all Pacifique and no seed for storms did bear VI. In vain from Thee O God His foes would fly And having shun'd His hand scape Thyne But their close walks are in Thine eye And all around them do's Thy glory shine His Enemies Thou count'st Thine own And what His hands reach not by Thine shal be o'rethrown VII Thou on them their own Consciences shalt turn Thy wrath shall on their darkness light For like an Oven it shall burn With flames that scorch and even as Hell affright And when it has rag'd all about Upon the guilty standers by it shall break out VIII But if reserv'd for future misery Thy vengeance here they shall survive 'T is but to see before them dye Those children in whose names they hop'd to live Yet though like them their Names shall rot They still shall want the happiness to be forgot IX For Thee O King the mischief they design'd Which on Thy Fathers head did light And with you both the Crown was joyn'd That was the Cause did animate the fight Whil'st Heav'n was all the while defi'd To see the rule establisht there on earth deny'd X. Heav'n saw the Treasons and did arm'd appear Return'd the darts they up had thrown Now less with feathers wing'd than fear And in all wounds the arrows were their own Lord since Thou ' hast thus preserv'd Our King Uphold His Throne that with Him we Thy praise may sing Psalm XXII Deus Deus meus quare dereliquisti c. I. MY God my God why art thou turn'd away And thus forsak'st me in my agony Shall I in vain for ever pray And pour out fruitless words which reach not Thee All day I cry but Thou seem'st not to hear The night do's witness to my roarings bear Yet though they rend my heart they cannot move Thine ear II. But Holy still and Righteous Lord art Thou And worthy of Thy People Israels praise Who on Our Fathers did'st bestow Freedom from Chains and conduct in their ways On Thee they trusted and to Thee they cry'd Who heard'st their groans conquering out did'st ride Their trust met no reproach nor was their prayer deny'd III. But I 'm a Worm my God and not a Man Reproach of Men and shame o' th' multitude Whose mockings with my grief began And ever grew as that encreas'd more rude With all the antick looks that shew disgrace Distorted mouth and head and riv'led face They me the Common butt for all their scorns did place IV. Let 's see said they with jests more sharp than swords And mortaller than all the wounds they gave Let 's see if yet for all His Words The God on whom He trusts His life will save If He so dearly loves him at his call Why comes He not we challenge Him and all For without that this single conquest would be small V. Yet still in Thee I all my trust have plac'd Who art the God who took'st me from the womb On whom I from the breast was cast And to these years through thousand cares have come To Thee
who hast defended me I flie And on Thy power alone for help relie Be not farr off to save since trouble is so nigh VI. Around with Bulls I fiercely was beset Basans wilde Bulls whom none but Thou couldst tame And with their hoofs the ground they beat And open mouth'd upon me bellowing came Like ravening Lions hasting to the prey That roar and call their fellow beasts away Such was their noyse and haste but savager were they VII My blood and spirits like water are pour'd out And all my bones are from their joynts remov'd My heart it self to th' fire is brought And melted down like Silver to be prov'd A Potsheard from the fornace is less dry My shriv'led tongue close to my jaws do's ly And I bear all th' effects of death before I die VIII Dogs hunted me nay worse than dogs those men I came to save in judgment on me sate My Good deeds were forgotten then Nor could my innocence their rage abate But sentence given lots for my Coat they cast And on a rack my naked body plac'd Whose staring bones only by them could be out-fac'd IX On me they star'd and furious through their pride With cruel nails pierc'd through my hands and feet Then open'd with a Spear my side To see my heart where all those wounds did meet But mighty Saviour be not farr away Rise to my help and make no longer stay Least to their bloody Sword my Soul be made a prey X. Thou who hast sav'd me from strong Unicorns Now from the Lions mouth Lord rescue me These hungry Dogs and fierce Bulls horns Nor to their rage let me deliver'd be Then to my Brethren I 'l Thy power declare And Trophies to Thy mighty conquest rear And with the Captive Spoyls Thy Courts shall look more fair XI All you who fear the Lord recount His praise And you blest Jacobs seed His Honour sing Who though most fearfull in His ways And the Worlds Judge is both your God and King Who never has the poor mans suit deny'd Nor from my tears His glorious face did hide But heard and answer'd me as soon as e're I cry'd XII Of Him alone my numerous Song shall bee To whose great hand I all my safety ow And in Thy Church I 'l pay to Thee Whatever there I in my fears did vow Then shall the poor with famine long opprest Eat and be full the weary be at rest And those who fear Thy Name with peace and joy be blest XIII The worlds wide ends when they Thy power shal know Again to their Allegiance shall return Their Kings shall to Thy Footstool bow And now in love for their Rebellions burn Acknowledge Thee the Universal King Who on their Princes do'st confusion bring And make Heav'ns Vault with their loud acclamations ring XIV My seed shall serve Him for they shall be His And tell the wondrous works which He has done How Righteous and how Good He is And to the Age to come His Name make known That those who long hence shall a People bee When they the Records of these times shall see May trust in Him who did all this as well as Wee Psalm XXIII Dominus regit me nihil c. I. THE Mighty God who all things do's sustain That God who nothing made in vain Who nothing that He made did e're disdain The Mighty God my Shepherd is He is my Shepherd I His sheep Both He is mine and I am His About His Flock He alwaies watch do's keep When God provides Poor Man can nothing need And He who hears young Ravens cry His Sheep will feed II. And as His Flock the Faithful Shepherd leads To purling Brooks and flowry Meads And by soft streams in pleasant Pastures feeds So do's the Mighty God with me Conduct's me to the bubling springs Himself is pleas'd my Guide to be And when I stray again me homewards brings Making His love in thousand favours known Not for my goodness sake but only for His own III. Secur'd by Him I will no danger fear Not death it self if it were near And should in its most horrid shape appear Death's gloomy shadow by His Sun Shall chearfull grow as morning light And at the day His eye ha's sprung The grave it self shall with new beams look bright Thy Staff shall bear me up My Way O God Not by my Scepter shall be guarded but Thy Rod. IV. 'T is Thou who all times dost my Table spread Both fill'st my Cup and crown'st my head And by the same hand I am sav'd and fed My Enemies see it and repine And when they look that I should fall Behold me with more glory shine And that Almighty Hosts are at my call Lord since Thy mercies thus to me extend My life thou best know'st when let my Praise never end Psalm XXIV Domini est terra plenitudo c. I. THE Earth and all the Earth contains Infinite Hills innumerable Plains With all their Riches are that Gods who o're them reigns II. The Universe is His and all Those glorious Beings which compleat this Ball The Hand which holds it and them first from nought did call III. God founded it upon the Flood First made the world then saw that it was good And on unstable waves unmov'd it since has stood IV. He all things made but Sion chose Before all places for His own repose Sion His Palace who no other builder knows V. But who shall Sion's Mount ascend Be counted worthy there his life to spend And undisturb'd may at thy Altar Lord attend VI. He whose pure hands no stains defile Whose heart is innocent and free from guile And tongue blasphemes not God nor do's the Truth revile VII This is the Man who shall receive Blessings from Him who do's all blessings give Both seeks His Face and on His Hill shall ever live VIII Lift up your heads O Gates make room Open ye everlasting Doors for home The King of Glory to His Rest through you will come IX Ask you who is this Glorious King The Lord of Hosts is He. His Triumphs sing Who Vict'ry that you gain'd not to your Gates do's bring X. Lift up your heads O Gates make room Open ye everlasting Doors for home The King of Glory to His Rest through you will come XI Ask you who is this Glorious King The Lord of Host is He. His Triumphs sing And whom you cannot shut out open and let in Psalm XXV Ad te Domine levavi c. I. TO Thee O God my troubled soul I raise Who hast been heretofore my Trust And shalt be still for Thou art ever just Let not my Enemies reproach Thy Waies Nor me count that my shame which is my chiefest Praise II.

Make Him your Song and of His Acts reherse Whose Word is like the God who spake it true And every day His constant praise renew Who is the Soveraign of the Universe Who the whole Earth with goodness fills With Flowers the valleys cloaths and crowns the hills Whose care to all His Works extends And the strait bounds of Time as well as Space transcends III. Beyond new Lands which undiscovered lye Beyond the Circuit of the Tractless Air Beyond those Heav'ns which first created were And in the skirts of His vast Empire bee His breath did all the Frame compose The Heav'nly Hosts by it from nothing rose Those sparkling fires we see above In which His power appears declare to us His love IV. He spake the Word and Seas obedient prove Stood up in heaps the Earth to overflow Till He their bounds set out plac'd some below And treasur'd others in His stores above The raging Deep in Prison laid And of its Jaylor bid it be afraid The sand which chains it to the shore With Law to over-look but never to pass o're V. Let the whole World before their Maker fall And of His Power the Nations stand in aw For He whose Spirit from nothing all did draw Has ruin no less ready at His Call His Counsels shall for ever stand Their plots though ne're so deep to countermand Making them know they are but Men And less than so when He His breath shall call again VI. Thrice happy Soul who here has fixt his joyes And on the Lord alone for help depends Such constant happiness His Love attends That even their land is so who are His choyce God who from Heav'n with curious eyes Sees every heart and all their actions tryes To whom all hearts are better known For He first made them than t' each single Man his own VII In vain Fond Kings expect sure Victories From numerous Armies and a mighty Host For Victory on airy wings is tost And only to the side He favours flies The greatest Champion cannot save His own head sentenc'd by Him to the grave And all the speed his horse can make In flying one is a worse ruin to o'retake VIII Those only are secure who have His eye On whom He looks for good who fear His Name And present hopes by ancient love can claim When they in need for help or mercy cry Their lives He from the pit brings back And what was once their fear their Song do's make In famine they by Him are fed Who is at once th' Eternal God and living bread IX On Thee O God we wait Thou art our shield Nor will we to another fortress flie There have we plac'd our trust resolv'd to die If the Almighty will no succour yield But He will help and send new joyes To fill our hearts and to employ our voyce And only as we trust in Thee So let Thy Mercy Lord and our Salvation bee Psalm XXXIIII Benedicam Dominum c. I. LORD I will bless Thee and Thy praise Shall up to Heav'n my Voice and numbers raise Of Thee my Soul all times shall boast Who save'dst me when I gave my self for lost And with us shall the humble joyn Hoping Thou wilt their refuge be as Thou wert mine II. Come ye blest Saints and let us rise Together with our Songs and reach the skies Praise Him who my first groans did hear Yet with His hand seem'd to prevent His ear And when like mine your troubles be But look to Him that hand shall save you which help'd me III. Tell Him the Wonders He has shown What for my sake He did and what for ' His own Say Lord. This poor man to Thee cry'd And Thou heard'st him why then am I deny'd I who no less am Thy great care Since equally round both encamp'd Thy Angels are IV. Trie Him but thus and thou shalt know Thine own as certain as my joyes are now How Good He is how happy they Who make His Power their hope His love their stay Dread Him for if He has Thy fear Thou may'st be confident Thy wants shall have His ear V. Hee 'll be himself Thy mighty store When savage Lions shall for hunger roar Whil'st those who glory in their Gold And in his own Chains would the Prisoner hold Spoylers themselves are Captives made And into suddain want which they least fear'd betray'd IV. But Children yield to me your ear I 'll tell you whom and how you ought to fear Would you have life and happy dayes Keep well your tongue and that will guide your wayes Do good and from all vice abstain No easier road than Peace and no way more plain VII On such God looks and to their cryes His ears are open to their griefs His eyes They for deliv'rance need but pray The hand which saves shall wipe their tears away But to the wicked He 's a flame Which shall consume their very Memories with their Name VIII Himself Hee 'll to the Just reveal The humble save and broken hearts will heal Their pains indeed are sharp and long Yet till deliverance comes He 'll make them strong And all the while they 're on the Rack Will see that those who torture them no bones shall break IX But as the wicked live they die The Just man's but their own worst Enemy Their own designs shall haste their death Kill'd by that poyson which themselves did breath Whil'st God redeems the Souls of His And shews His help more certain than their trouble is Psalm XXXV Judica Domine nocentes c. I. GReat God and Judge to hear my Cause arise And on my part just sentence give Subdue and scatter all my Enemies And only to be conquer'd let them live Go out and in the battell stand Thy Shield in one and glittering Sword in t'other hand II. Let it be drawn and with their blood all stain'd Make a Red Sea around to flow Let it maintain the passage it has gain'd And safely guard the way where I should go Say to my Soul that I am Thine And that for my defence Thou make'st Thy glory shine III. Those who dare still resist too stout to yield And with new heat my Soul pursue Let them with shame and infamy be fill'd And find the battell though they flye renew Upon Thee let them turn their back To be Thy Butt and all Thy poyson'd arrows take IV. Let them like chaff be driv'n before the Winde And by Thy Angels Lord be chas'd Let them i' th dark a way so slippery find That headlong ruin may attend their hast O'rewhelm them in the pits they made And take theirs in the net which for my feet they laid V. Let their destruction hasten unperceiv'd The same which they decreed for me Whil'st I for better dayes am still repriev'd And my deliv'rances ascribe to Thee That Thy Great Name may be my Song Who thus the weak and Poor save'st from the proud and strong VI. False Witnesses
Tempests roar And Seas which threaten me are dash'd against the shore V. In God is all my Hope and Stay The Rock of Ages is my Shield By me O World to Him direct Thy way And like Thy Guide seek Him who help can yield He is Our Hope when all means fail And when none else His hands prevail The Poor want help the Rich are but a Lye And to be weigh'd are lighter both than Vanity VI. Then in Oppression never trust Nor Riches though they be increas'd They will deceive you for they are but dust And the worst Arms though fondly judg'd the best 'T was once spoke by th' Almighty's Words I heard it twice All Power 's the Lords Mercy O God do's also spring from Thee And as each Mans Work is so his reward shall be Psalm LXIII Deus Deus meus ad te c. I. EArly my God before 't is Light And all the Stars are up but that which makes the day Whil'st Heav'n alone with flames is bright And all below is hurl'd i' th sable veil of night Which they can neither draw nor take away Early I 'le worship and one glance from Thee E're 't is with others day shall make it noon with me II. And as this dry and thirsty land Where the ground ready to expire for want of rain Gaping and out of breath do's stand And shews its very bowels shriv'led like its sand And having drunk gapes for more drink again The Wilderness and I in this agree For as that thirsts for rain so Lord I thirst for Thee III. I thirst Thy glorious power to see As I have seen it in Thy Temple heretofore When ravish't with Thy love to me To dye I was content could I but so love Thee And so to dye this life would choose no more These thoughts so high my fainting Spirit do raise That through my lips they force their way in songs of praise IV. For this I 'le bless Thee and on high To Thy Great Name send up my praises whil'st I live For since at present I enjoy A mind content it shall prepare for more supply Though Thou at present only that do'st give Even that shall bring my famish't Soul more good Than what my Body ha's from most delicious food V. Marrow and Fatness it shall be And all the solid meats which please and feed the strong For I shall come at last to Thee Who art the Blessed End of all Felicity And the best subject of my humble song And on my bed when I revolve Thy might My Praises shall instead of Watches part the night VI. Exil'd distress'd and wond'rous low Under Thy wings secure I in my trouble lay Since I so well their covert know I 'le follow hard o'retake and never let Thee go Unless on them Thou bear me too away Then shall I be upheld by Thy Right hand And on the empty Air as on a Mountain stand VII Then shall my Enemies fall down By their own swords and hasting to th' untimely grave Reap truly what themselves have sown And their vile Carkasses to Dogs and Foxes thrown Receive no better Burial than they gave Such living Monuments which shall decay And be in other Beasts entomb'd as well as they VIII But I shall in my God rejoyce And as He raigns above be stablish't in my Throne below For I am His and He my Choice And as my heart now praises Him so shall my voice And all who fear Him and the Wonder know In joyous shouts shall their long silence break Whil'st my Foes burst with envy want all power to speak Psalm LXIV Exaudi Deus orationem c. I. LOrd to my voice incline Thine ear And set me free from danger and from fear Hide me from those who wicked plots devise Are my profess'd yet secret Enemies Who whet their tongues instead of Swords And shoot for poyson'd arrows bitter Words II. They bend their bow and out of sight Watch how they unperceiv'd may wound th' Upright At him they fearless shoot and plot the while If this dispatch him not what Engine will Through our disguise what man can see Or how say they can we discover'd be III. No art they leave untry'd but round Seek and ne'r rest till what they sought is found Each ha's his several way their heart 's so deep That each though partners their own counsel keep And dare not one another trust Though all in this agreed against the Just. IV. But God shall strike them with a dart That shall divide between the thoughts and heart Both shall be wounded both together fall And their own tongues shall give like death to all To spare their lives no man shall pray But frighted at their ruine flee away V. By their destruction all shall fear And dread the judgement which they see so near Shall think and speak of what the Lord ha's done And joy in Him whose Pow'r was thus made known The Righteous in Him shall rejoyce And up to Heav'n in praises lift their voice Psalm LXV Te decet hymnus Deus I. PRaises for Thee in Sion Lord attend Sion the fairest Stage in Heav'ns great road Whence thousand Praises daily do ascend And come in troops to Thy Divine Aboad There I my vows will pay And with the Convoy they find there direct their Way II. O Thou who all times do'st th' afflicted hear From the Worlds ends all Flesh shall come to Thee My sins I know may justly stop Thine ear And make a greater breach 'twixt Thee and me But purge them Lord and I Shall never pray in vain and Thou be alwayes nigh III. Thrice happy man on whom Thou wilt bestow That Grace which of a Slave shall make him Thine Thy Friend who in Thy House Thy love shall know And see Thy Glory as it there do's shine When He shall to thee pray Nor Thine own Face nor his Prayers wilt Thou turn away IV. By fearfull things in Truth Lord answer us Who sav'st Thy People and do'st take their part And not theirs only but propitious Th' Earths ends have found Thee their help Thou art The Earths ends to Thee are near And on rough Seas through storms and clouds Thou prayers dost hear V. God by His strength the Mountains ha's set fast Mountains whose heads are rais'd above the Sky His Word not their Foundations makes them last Though they as low as the World's Center lye Their tops no strom can shake Yet at His presence like the little Hills they quake VI. The Sea when up to Heav'n its billows swell As if it scorn'd in its old bounds to stay He with his girdle binds the mighty Well With charge the sandy Jaylor to obey Who when it heaves and roars Its fury checks and makes it keep within its shores VII And as tempestuous Seas His Word obey And at His lowder Call their voice hold still The People a more troub'lous Sea than they In all their tumults hearken to His
Will His Thunder makes them fear And those who get most off yet think they are too near VIII From the bright East Thou mak'st Thy Sun to go Before him creeps in Chains the Captive night And in the West when he from us draws low 'T is but to spread his Conquests with his Light And till he comes again Bids the Moon fill his place and in his stead to raign IX Thou visitest the Earth and giv'st it rain Of Thy rich blessing it do's freely spend The Earth returns its thanks to Heav'n again In flowers which thither their sweet Odours send As Customs which they pay To Thy dread Throne who dost their Mothers heat allay X. The Flood of God whose Spring-head's in the clouds When on the weary ground it showers distills The softned ridge unto its furrow crowds And all it's clots the quick'ning moysture fills Thou by degrees dost bring The Tillage on and Harvest to succeed the Spring XI Plenty with every shower from Heav'n pours down The Earth do's by thy constant bounty grow Thy goodness do's the year with blessings crown And all Thy steps drop fatness where they go They on the Deserts drop Whose parched Sands drink deep of Thy o'reflowing Cup. XII The little Hills drink deep and look more fair The Valleys pledge till they can drink no more The Shepheards and their flocks both merry are And all the Plains with Corn are cover'd o're With peace and fruits abound And make the distant Mountains with their Songs resound Psalm LXVI Jubilate Deo omnis terra c. I. REjoyce O World and to Thy God sing praise Let Seas and Isles and Lands His Name resound Together with His Sun your voices raise And in Eternal Jubilees go round For if that rise His mighty Power to show Much more should you on whom it shines do so II. Say to the Lord How mighty is Thy Power Which even Thy Enemies must unforc't confess To th' Earth they bow themselves and would fall lower But that instead Thou tak'st this poor address Th' Earth shall worship Thee and their loud same Shall fill her Trumpet only with Thy Name III. See what He did to raise it how His hand At once declar'd Him Terrible and Good When raging Seas were turn'd to firm dry land And Israel past through th' admiring Flood Then 't was we view'd and troad His secret Wayes And roaring Deeps stood lift'ning to His Praise IV. He rules o're all Him Heav'n and Earth obey The Universall and Eternall King His eyes the Wicked and the Good survey And under chains His Hand the Proud do's bring Raise not Thy self too high proud dust for fear The Wind which fills thy sayles should overbear V. Rejoyce ye Nations and to God sing praise Let Seas and Isles and Lands his Name resound Together with His Sun your voices raise And in Eternal Jubilees go round For He from falls our sliding feet do's save And with new Life returns us from the grave VI. Like Silver in the Furnace we were try'd And felt unusual flames rage all about But thence as Silver throughly purify'd We only left our dross when we came out The purer metall had no base alloy And all our griefs made way for greater joy VII Low were we brought the net upon us cast And on our loyns prodigious weights were laid Through Water tryal and through fire we past And a derision to our foes were made But He who there upheld us by His hand Brought us Himself at last to'th' Promis'd Land VIII With praises to Thy House my King I 'le go And make my thanks in clouds of Incense rise There solemnly I 'le pay the willing Vow Which my lips off'red in my Miseries Bullocks and Ramms I 'le on Thy Altar lay And thence with Flames renew the Wasted day IX You who have known th' Almighty Love draw near And to my Speech your ready minds incline Attend to that just witness which I bear And to your own experiences take Mine When I in sighs to God my voyce did raise And pray'd in groans He turn'd them into praise X. Had I kept some reserve within my Heart In hope to hide it He had stop't His Ear But I unbowel'd my most secret part And then He did not only see but hear Praise Him who thus His glory did display Nor turn'd His own Face nor my Prayers away Psalm LXVII Deus misereatur nostri c. I. SAve us O God and Thy poor Servants bless Thy Goodness and Thy Pow'r declare In Mercy help us in Our great distress And We no more will doubt Thy Love or Care Let through the World Thy Mighty Name be known And what We praise may the whole Earth with Rev'rence own II. Rejoyce ye Nations for your God is here Who by His Wisdom rules o're all The Kings and Kingdoms governs and that fear They strike in you He makes on them to fall Let through the World His Mighty Name be known And what we praise may the whole Earth with Rev'rence own III. Then shall the Lord our Land both save and bless His Goodness and His Power declare And then Our fields shall give their full increase And with His blessing look more gay and faire The Lord shall bless us and His Name make known And what We praise the whole Earth shall with Rev'rence own Psalm LXVIII Exurgat Deus dissipentur c. I. GRreat Leader of the Sacred Hosts arise And scatt'ring Thy Proud Enemies Encrease Our Triumphs with Thy Victories Let those who hate Thy Name before it flye Like Clouds of Smoke chas'd by the Wind Which vanish as they mount on high And undistinguish't from the Common Skie No more in strange Fantastick figures lye But without mark to know them by Leave not the smallest stain behind That in the air one may their empty traces find Let their destruction suddain be Sooner than Wax do's melt When once the flames are felt And in Thine eye may they the fire which burns them see But let the Righteous in Thy Pow'r rejoyce With Flutes and Trumpets make a cheerful noise And the whole Consort joyn and perfect with their voice II. Make God your Song Ye Just and from His Wayes Which are in Heav'n take theam your Verse to raise In Heav'n where He in glory rides And with His rein the Winds which bear them guides And by His Name Jehovah celebrate His Praise Above He rules but His great Pow'r extends To what soe're is done below The Cares of all His Creatures He do's know And visits the wide Earth's extremest ends Is a kind Father to the Fatherless The Widdows Counsel and do's bless Desparing Nuptials with a large increase Making dead Wombs His voice to hear And her that barren was a numerous seed to bear And when to Him poor Captives cry Their tears move pitty in His eye And with His Arm He gives them Liberty Again returns them
