Break thou their teeth O God which hang Like the young Lions Sharpned fang 7. Let them like melting waters ly And cut their arrowes as they fly 8.

Awake O Lord behold my wrong Thy help withhold not from me long 5.

Like dogs they come when day is done Which snarling through the City run 7. Behold they belch out daring words And in their lips they carry swords For who say they our acts shall heare Or hinder us when we appeare 8. But Thou O Lord shalt them deride And strike the heathen in their pride 9. O Lord my trust awaites on Thee Who by Thy strength shall guarded be 10. Gods saving mercy me prevents Mine eye shall see their ill events 11. Disperse them Lord my sheild not slay Least it
forget my people may 12. Let their mouthes sin themselves confound Themselves their lyes and curses wound 13. Great King consume them in thine ire 14. Let them like dogs at night retire 15. Still wand'ring up and down for meat And grudge when lacking what to eat 16. But to Thy pow'r my lips shall sing Yea long before the day doth spring My thankfull hymnes shall sound aloud The Mercy Thou to me hast show'd Thou art in trouble my defense A refuge for my innocence 17.

O Thou my God who cast'dst us off And mad'st our force their scoffe Wilt not Thou with our armies go To quell th' insulting foe 11. From trouble save us once againe For help of man is vaine 12. Through God we shall in battail rise And foyle our enemies PSAL. LXI 1. GIve eare O God! unto my cry My Prayer not deny 2.

MY soule doth wait on God alone Whence comes salvation 2. He is my Rock firm'd in His love I shall not greatly move 3. 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. He is my Rock my safe defense I shall not move from hence 7. In God my health and glory rest My strength and refuge blest 8. Trust Him ye people and implore Your heart before Him powre 9. The sons of men both low and high Are lyes and vanity And all alike in ballance lay'd Weigh lighter then the shade 10.

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.

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.

Blest is the man Thou do'st admit Within Thy Courts to sit For with Thy Temples beauty he Shall satisfied be 5. O God of our salvation Thou Wilt dreadfull wonders show Thou hope of all earth's bounds containe Or far dilated Maine 6. Whose strength the mountaines setteth fast On their foundation plac't 7. Who doth the roaring Seas asswage And still the People's rage 8.

Thou waterest the earth with raine Then giv'st hir store of graine Such plenty Gods

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.

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.

Let none that seek or wait for Thee Through me confounded be 7. For Thy sake have I borne disgrace Shame cover'd hath my face 8. A stranger to my brethren am Who from my Mother came 9. I in Thy Houses zeale do pine Thy wrongs reputing mine 10. Yet when I fasted wept and mourn'd That my reproach was turn'd 11. For garments I have Sack-cloath worne A Proverb grow'n of scorne 12.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From trouble save us once againe For help of man is vaine Through God we shall in battaile rise And foyle our enemies PSAL. CIX Sing this as the Lamentation 1. GOd of my praise nor silent be Nor unattentive unto me 2. For wicked mouths me falsely wrong And wound me with their lying tongue 3. They compass me with words of hate And causeless vex me with debate 4. For all my friendship they are foes But I my grief in pray'r disclose 5. 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. So shall Thy praises with my tongue Be in the full assembly sung 31. For God will at the poor's right hand By His protection ready stand To save his innocence from them Who wrongfully his soul condemne PSAL. CX 1. THe Lord whose pow'r all things doth sway Unto my Lord did say Sit at my right hand till thou see Thy foes Thy foot-stool be 2. The Lord Thy Scepter shall extend And strength from Sion send That all Thine enemies below May to Thy Kingdome bow 3. The people in great numbers shall That day before Thee fall Whose glorious Birth and youthfull hue Is as the morning dew 4. The Lord hath sworne who not repents His long decreed intents Thou do'st from great Melchisedek Thy Royall Priest-hood take 5. God

PRaise God with heart and tongue The Quire of Saints among His praises shall be sung 2 The works of God are great All those will them repeat Whose thoughts on Him are set 3. His actions glorious are Renown'd and honour'd far Nor can His truth empaire 4. His wonders fill our thought Who hath compassion wrought And pitty shewes when sought 5. He hath His servants fed Giv'n those that fear Him bread His Cov'nant stablished 6. His pow'r to them exprest And made His people rest Where Heathen late possest 7. What ever wrought His hands In truth and judgment stands And sure are His Commands 8. They all for ever last By His decree kept fast Till fleeting time is past 9. He did His people save Whom Tyrants did enslave His sacred Cov'nant gave Renowned is His fame And reverend His Name Which all the world proclaime 10. God's fear true wisdome brings The knowledg of good things From that beginning springs They understand aright Who make His Lawes their light And still His praise recite PSAL. CXII 1. BLest is the man that feares the Lord Delighting in His word 2. His seed on earth shall mighty be Blest his posteritie 3. His house with riches shall abound His life with plenty crown'd His righteous dealing clear as sure For ever shall endure 4. In shades of darknesse to th' upright There riseth up a light He gratious is and free from hate His heart compassionate 5. A good man mercy shewes and lends Nor in his words offends 6. He shall not move but placed be In lasting memorie 7. He of ill tidings not afraid Hath God his refuge made Thus fix'd his heart shall never faile 8. But 'gainst his foes prevaile 9. With liberall hand unto the poor He hath disperst his store His righteousnesse shall still remaine And lasting honour gaine 10. The wicked man when this he seeth For spight shall gnash his teeth And melted by his envies fire Perish in his desire PSAL. CXIII To the usuall Tune 1. THe Lord O ye His servants praise To His great Name your ditties raise 2. Which blest and sacred be alwaies 3. Ev'n from the rising of the Sun Till to the West his course be run Nis Name is to be prais'd alone 4. The Lord above all Nations high Is seated in great Majesty And in the Heav'ns His glories ly 5. What pow'r created parallells The Lord our God who thus excells And far above the Heaven dwells 6. Who humbling downe himselfe doth bow Not only things in heaven to know But what is done in earth below 7. To him that did in dust deplore He joyfull comforts doth restore And from the dunghill lifts the poore 8. That set with Princes of the earth And persons of a Royall birth His sorrows may be chang'd to mirth 9. The barren woman when implor'd His bounty hath with children stor'd O therefore praise this gratious Lord. PSAL. CXIV 1. WHen Israel from Egypt went Free from his banishment And Iacob came from that strange land Conducted by God's hand 2. The house of Iudah which did passe His Sanctuary was And Israel the chosen throne Of His dominion 3. The Sea saw that and did disperse Iordan his course reverse 4. The Mountaines skip'd like sporting rams The little hills like Lambs 5. What ay'ld thy waters O thou Sea That they so fled from thee Iordan what did thy current lack That thou wast driven back What Miracle did then prevaile That both your streams should faile 6. You Mountaines that ye skip'd like rams Yet little hills like Lambs 7. Tremble thou earth when Iacobs God Commands thee with his rod 8. Who from the Rock did waters bring And made the flint a spring PSAL. CXV Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. NOt unto us O Lord but Thee Thy Name Thy Truth the glory be 2. Why should the heathen Thee defy Whilst Where is now their God they cry 3. Our God in heaven doth remaine And acts what ere he did ordaine Their Idols Silver are and Gold The work which hands of men did mould 5. Mouths have they yet they speechlesse be And they have eyes but cannot see 6. They ears possesse which nothing heare And noses not for smelling beare 7. Their hands not touch their feet not walk Nor through their throat resounds their talk 8. Who make them are as vaine as they And so are all that to them pray 9. 10. O Israel O Aarons line 11. O yee that in His feare combine Trust ye in God who is your shield Protection He and help doth yield 12. He mindfull still of our redresse Will Israel and Aaron blesse 13. Who feare Him small or great are blest 14. And in their race shall be encreast 15. You are the blessed of the Lord Who heaven fram'd and earth hath stor'd 16. He in the Heav'n of Heavens lives But earth unto mans children gives 17. The dead Thy praises cannot shew Nor those who downe to silence go 18. But we the Lord through all our daies Will blesse The Lord for ever praise PSAL. CXVI 1. I Love the Lord and am well pleas'd He hath me heard and eas'd 2. Whilst therefore life continue shall I will upon Him call 3. The snares of death about me dwelt And paines of Hell I felt Disturbed thoughts and heavinesse My conscience did oppress 4. Then to the Lord my plaint I made And thus unto Him said O Lord my soule from falling save And lift me from the grave 5. The Lord is gracious and just To those His mercy trust 6. His Hand the simple doth protect When crosses them deject 7. Turne then my soule unto thy rest God's favours have thee blest He bountifully doth reward And thee from dangers guard 8. Thou keep'st my soule from death's pale feares My drooping eyes from teares And did'st my wand'ring steps recall When I was apt to fall 9. My feet before the Lord shall stand In His eternall land 10. I therefore pray'd and thus believ'd Yet still my heart was griev'd For in my foes successe I fail'd Till faith at last prevail'd 11. Then I all men for Lyars knew And God alone for true 12. What retribution shall I give To him by whom I live Or what acknowledgment apply For His benignity 13. Salvations sacred Cup I 'le take And humble prayers make 14. Before His people shall be pay'd The vowes which I have made 15. For those that live like Saints upright And in the Lord delight Are living dear unto His eye And pretious when they dy 16.

'T is bettet in the Lord to trust Than leane on man who is but dust 9. Better rely on His defense Then put in Princes confidence 10. All Nations me encompass'd round But His great Name shall them confound 11. They closely set against me came But I destroy'd them in His Name 12. Like bees they thick about me swarm'd Yet through His Name I was unharm'd As kindled Thorns which blazing dy They quenched in their ashes ly 13. Though pressing foes my fall assay'd The Lord Himself became may aid 14. God is my health my strength my song 15. Lowd joyes the Righteous are among 16. For God's Right hand 's lift up on high His Right hand acts most valiantly 17. I shall not dy but live to praise And speake His wonders all my daies 18. Although the Lord me chast'ned sore He unto death not gave me ore 19. Open His sacred Gates that I With praise the Lord may glorify 20. This is the Gate through which the just And righteous Persons enter must 21. Thee wil I thank who heard'st my voice And mak'st me in Thy help rejoyce 22.
