O Lorde God to whom vengeance belongeth thou God to whome vengeance belongeth shew thy selfe Arise thou iudge of the world and reward the proud after their deseruing Lord how long shall the vngodly how long shall the vngodly triumph How long shall all wicked doers speake so disdaincfully and make such proud boasting They smite downe thy people O Lord and trouble thine heritage They murther the widowe and the stranger and put the fatherlesse to death And yet they say Tush the Lord shall not see neither shal the God of Iacob regard it Take heede yee vnwise among the people O yee fooles when will ye vnderstand He that planted the eare shal he not heare or he that made the eye shall not see Or he that nurtureth the heathen it is hee that teacheth man knowledge shall not he punish The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man that they are but vaine Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest O Lord and teachest him in thy Law That thou mayest giue him patience in time of aduersitic vntill the pit be digged vp for the vngodly For the Lord will not faile his people neither will he forsake his inheritance Untill righteousnes turne againe vnto iudgement all such as be true in heart shall follow it Who will rise vp with me against the wicked or who will take my part against the euill doers If the Lord had not helped mee it had not failed but my soule had bene put to silence But when I said my foote hath slipped thy mercie O Lord held me vp In the multitude of the sorowes that I had in my heart thy comforts haue refreshed my soule Wilt thou haue any thing to doe with the stoole of wickednesse which imagineth mischiefe as a law They gather them together against the soule of the rightteous and condemne the innocent blood But the Lord is my refuge and my God is the strength of my confidence He shall recompence them their wickednesse and destroy them in their owne malice yea the Lord our God shall destroy them Venite exultemus Psal 95. O Come Morning prayer let vs sing vnto the Lorde let vs heartily reioyce in the strength of our saluation Let vs come before his presence with thanksgiuing and shew our selues glad in him with Psalmes For the Lord is a great God and a great king aboue all gods In his hand are all the corners of the earth and the strength of the hilles is his also The sea is his and he made it and his hands prepared the dry land O come let vs worship and fall downe and kneele before the Lord our maker For he is the Lord our God and we are the people of his pasture and the sheepe of his hands Today if ye will heare his voyce harden not your hearts as in the prouocation and as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse When your fathers tempted me prooued me and saw my workes Fourtie yeeres long was I grieued with this generation â—nd said it is a people that doe erre in their hearts for they haue not knowen my wayes Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest Cantate Domino Psal 96 O Sing vnto the Lord a new song sing vnto the Lord all the whole earth Sing vnto the Lord and praise his name be telling of his saluation from day to day Declare his honour vnto the heathen and his wonders vnto all people For the Lord is great and can not worthily be praised he is more to be feared then all gods As for all the gods of the heathen they be but idoles but it is the Lord that made the heauens Glory and worship are before him power and honour are in his sanctuarie Ascribe vnto the Lord O ye kinreds of the people ascribe vnto the Lord worship and power Ascribe vnto the lorde the honour due vnto his Name bring presents and come into his courts O worship the Lord in the beautie of holinesse let the whole earth stand in awe of him Tell it out among the heathen that Lord is king and that it is he which hath made the round world so fast that it can not be mooued and how that hee shall iudge the people righteously Let the heauens reioyce and let the earth be glad let the sea make a noyse and all that therein is Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it then shal all the trees of the wood reioyce before the Lord. For he commeth for he commeth to iudge the earth and with righte ousnesse to iudge the world and the people with his trueth Dominus regnauit Psal 97. The Lord is King the earth may be glad thereof yea the multitude of the Isles may be glad thereof Cloudes and darkenesse are round about him righteousnes and iudgement are the habitation of his seat There shal go a fire before him and burne vp his enemies on euery side His lightnings gaue shine vnto the world the earth sawe it and was afraid The hilles melted like ware at the presence of the Lord at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth The heauens declared his righteousnes and all the people haue seene his glore Confounded be all they that worship carued images and that delight in vaine gods worship him all ye gods Sion heard of it and reioyced and the daughters of Iuda were glad because of thy iudgements O Lord.

MY song shall be of mercie and iudgement vnto thee O Lord will I sing O let me haue vnderstanding in the way of godlinesse When wilt thou come vnto me I will walke in my house with a perfit heart I will take no wicked thing in hand I hate the sinnes of vnfaithfulnesse there shall no such cleaue vnto me A froward heart shall depart from me I will not know a wicked person Who so priuily slandereth his neighbour him will I destroy Who so hath also a proud looke and high stomacke I will not suffer him Mine eyes looke vnto such as be faithfull in the land that they may dwell with me Who so leadeth a godly life he shall be my seruant There shall no deceitfull person dwell in my house he that telleth lies shall not tarif in my sight I shall soone destroy all the vngodly that are in the land that I may root out all wicked doers froÌ„ the city of the Lord. Domine exaudi Psal 102. HEare my prayer Morning prayer O Lord and let my crying come vnto thee Hide not thy face from mee in the time of my trouble encline thine eares vnto mee when I call O heare mee and that right soone For my dayes are consumed away like smoke and my bones are burnt vp as it were a firebrand My heart is smitten downe and withered like grasse so that I forget to eate my bread For the voice of my groning my bones will scarse cleaue to my flesh I am become like a pelicane in the wildernes and like an Owle that is in the desart I haue watched and am euen as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone vpon the house top Mine enemies reuile me all the day long and they that are mad vpon me are sworne together against me For I haue eaten ashes as it were bread and mingled my drinke with weeping And that because of thine indignation and wrath for thou hast taken me vp and cast me downe My dayes are gone like a shadowe and I am withered like grasse But thou O Lord shall endure for euer and thy remembrance thoughout all generations Thou shalt arise and haue mercie vpon Sion for it is time that thou haue mercie vpon her yea the time is come And why thy seruants thinke vpon her stones and it pitieth them to see her in the dust The heathen shall feare thy Name O Lord and all the kings of the earth thy maicstie When the Lord shall build vp Sion and when his glorie shall appeare When hee turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute and desâ—iseth not their desire This shal be written for those that come after and the people which shal be borne shall praise the Lord. For he hath looked downe from his sanctuarie out of the heauen did the Lord behold the earth That he might heare the mournings of such as be in captiuitie and deliuer the children appointed vnto death That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion and his worship at Hierusalem When the people are gathered together the kingdomes also serue the Lord. He brought downe my strength in my iourney and shortened my dayes But I said O my God take me not away in the middest of mine age as for thy yeeres they endure throughout all generations Thou Lord in the beginning hast laied the foundation of the earth and the heauens are the worke of thy hands They shall perish but thou shalt endure they all shall ware old as doeth a garment And as a vesture shalt thou change them and they shall be changed but thou art the same and thy yeres shall not faile The children of thy seruants shall continue and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight Benedicanima Psal 103. PRaise the Lord O my soule and all that is within mee prayse his holy Name Praise the Lord O my soule and forget not all his benefits Which forgiueth all thy sinne and healeth all thine infirmities Which saueth thy life from destruction
them So they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble and he deliuered them from their distresse He led them foorth by the right way that they might go to the citie where they dwelt O that men would therfore praise the Lord for his goodnes and declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men For hee satisfieth the emptie soule and filleth the hungrie soule with goodnesse Such as sit in darknesse and in the shadow of death being fast bound in miserie and yron Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord and lightly regarded the counsaile of the most high Hee also brought downe their heart through heauinesse they fell downe and there was none to helpe them vp So when they cried vnto the Lorde in their trouble hee deliuered them out of their distresse For he brought them out of darkenesse and out of the shadow of death and brake their bonds in sunder O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men For he hath broken the gates of brasse smitten the barres of yron in sunder Foolish men are plagued for their offence and because of their wickednesse Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate and they were euen hard at deaths doore So when they cryed vnto the Lord in their trouble he deliuered them out of their distresse He sent his worde and healed them and they were saued from their destruction O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men That they would offer vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgiuing and tell out his workes with gladnesse They that goe downe to the sea in ships and occupie their businesse in great waters These men see the workes of the Lord and his wonders in the deepe For at his word the stormie winde ariseth which lifteth vp the waues thereof They are caried vp to the heauen and downe againe to the deepe their soule melteth away because of the trouble They reele to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits end So when they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble he deliueâ—th them out of their distresse For he maketh the storme to cease so that the waues thereof are still Then are they glad because they be at rest and so he bringeth them vnto the hauen where they would be O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodnesse and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men Thâ—â— they would exaâ— him also in the Congregation of the people and prayse him in the seate of the elders Which turneth the floods into a wildernesse and drieth vp the water springs A fruitfull land maketh hee barren for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein Againe he maketh the wildernesse a standing water and water springs of a drie ground And there he setteth the hungry that they may build them a citie to dwell in That they may sowe their land and plant vineyardes to yeeld them fruits of increase He blesseth them so that that they multiplie exceedingly suffereth not their cattell to decrease And againe when they are minished and brought lowe through oppression through any plague or trouble Though hee suffer them to bee euill entreated through tyrants and let them wander out of the way in the wildernes Yet helpeth hee the poore out of miserie and maketh him housholds like a flocke of sheepe The righteous will consider this reioyce and the mouth of all wickednesse shal be stopped Who so is wise will ponder these things and they shall vnderstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord. Paratum cormeum Psal 108. O God Euening prayer my heart is ready my heart is ready I will sing giue prayse with the best member that I haue Awake thou Lute and Harpe I my 〈◊〉 will awake right early I will giue thankes vnto thee O Lord among the people I will sing prayses vnto thee among the nations For thy mercie is greater then the heaâ—â—ns and thy trueth reacheth vnto the cloudes Set vp thy selfe O God aboue the heauens and thy glory aboue all the earth That thy beloued may bee deliuered let thy right hand saue them and heare thou me God hath spoken in his holinesse I will reioyce therefore and diuide Sichem and mete out the valley of Sucoth Gilead is mine and Manasses is mine Ephraim also is the strength of my head Iuda is my lawgiuer Moab is my washpot ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe vpon the Philistims will I triumph Who will leade me into the strong citie and who will bring me into Edom Hast not thou forsaken vs O God and wilt not thou God goe forth with our hostes O helpe vs against the enemie for vaine is the helpe of man Through God we shall doe great actes and it is hee that shall tread downe our enemies Deus laudem psal 109. HOld not thy tongue O God of my praise for the mouth of the vngodly yea and the mouth of the deceitfull is opened vpon me And they haue spoken against me with false tongues they compassed me about also with wordes of hatred and fought against me without a cause For the loue that I had vnto them loe they take now my contrary part but I giue my selfe vnto prayer Thus haue they rewarded me euill for good and hatred for my good will Set thou an vngodly man to bee ruler ouer him and let Satan stand at his right hand When sentence is giuen vpon him let him be condemned and let his prayer be turned into sinne Let his dayes be fewe and let another take his office Let his children be fatherlesse and his wife a widow Let his children bee vagabonds and beg their bread let them seeke it also out of desolate places Let the extortioner consume all that hee hath and let the stranger spoile his labour Let there bee no man to pitie him nor to haue compassion vpon his fatherlesse children Let his posteritie be destroyed and in the next generation let his name be cleane put out Let the wickednesse of his fathers be hab in remembrance in the sight of the Lord and let not the sinne of his mother be done away Let them alway be before the Lord that he may roote out the memoriall of them from of the earth And that because his minde was not to doe good but persecuted the poore helpelesse man that he might slay him that was vexed at the heart His delight was in cursing and it shall happen vnto him he loued not blessing therefore shall it be farre from him Hee clothed himselfe with cursing like as with a rayment and it shall come into his bowels like water and like oyle into his bones Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him and as the girdle that he is alway girded withall Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto mine
