PSALM CXIV 1 WHen Israel out of Egypt went And Jacob's House by God's strong hand From under those strange Task-masters Whose speech they did not understand 2 Judah he did his Sanctuary And Israel his Dominion make 3 The Sea did see and fled away And Jordan's stream was driven back 4 Like Rams the mountains and like Lambs The little hills skipt to and fro 5 O Sea what made thee thus to flee Jordan why didst thou backward go 6 Ye mountains great what was the cause That made you thus to skip like Rams Ye little hills wherefore was it That you did skip like playing Lambs 7 Tremble O earth before the Lord When Jacob's God his presence shows 8 Which turn'd the Rock to water-pools By whom the flint like fountains flows PSALM CXV 1 NOt unto us Lord not to us But do thou all the glory take To thy great name for thy own truth And for thy saving mercies sake 2 Why should the heathen people say To us where is their mighty God 3 But our God is in heav'n and doth What ever to him seemeth good 4 Their Idols are silver and gold The work of workmen's hands they be 5 They have mouths but they do not speak 6 And eyes have they but do not see Ears have they but they do not hear Noses but smell or savour not 7 Hands feet but handle not nor walk Nor speak they through their mouth or throat 8 Their makers are like them and all Their trust for help on them that build 9 O Israel trust in the Lord He is their only help and shield 10 O house of Aaron trust in God He only is their help and shield 11 You that fear God trust in the Lord Your shield who certain help will yield 12 The Lord hath mindful been of us And he will surely bless us still The house of Israel he will bless Aaron's house also bless he will 13 Both small and great that fear the Lord The Lord will always surely bless 14 You and your Children more and more The Lord will bless and still increase 15 You are the blessed of the Lord Who made both all the earth and heav'n 16 The heav'n of heav'ns is his but earth He to the sons of men hath given 17 The dead who down to silence go Do not in dust God's praise record 18 But we henceforth for ever will Bless our great God Praise ye the Lord. PSALM CXVI 1 I Love the Lord who did my voice And earnest supplication hear 2 While I have life I 'le call on him Who bow'd to me his gracious ear 3 The sorrows of expected death My flesh and heart did compass round The pains of Hell took hold on me Trouble and grievous pain I found 4 Upon the name of God my help Then did I daily call and say Deliver thou my grieved soul O Lord I do thee humbly pray 5 Our God is merciful and just Yea very gracious is the Lord 6 He saves the meek I was brought low And he did speedy help afford 7 My soul distrust thy God no more Return by faith to him thy Rest Who largely in thy great distress To thee his bounty hath exprest 8 For my afflicted soul from death Safely delivered was by thee Thou didst mine eyes from mourning tears My feet from dangerous falling free 9 Among the living I will walk By faith as still before the Lord 10 When greatly I afflicted was I did believe and spake this word 11
hath found out a house The swallow found a nest Where she may lay her young and where Her self and they may rest Even near thy holy Altars they May make their safe abode And why not I seeing thou art My King and only God 4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell They always give thee praise 5 Blessed is he whose strength 's in thee In whose heart are thy ways 6 Who passing as through Bala's vale Make it a place of wells And the descending plenteous rain The pools with water fills 7 Unwearied they forward go Marching from strength to strength Till all in Sion do appear Before the Lord at length 8 Lord God of Hosts my prayer hear O Jacob's God give ear 9 O God our shield look on the face Of thine anointed dear 10 Because one day within thy house Is better to abide Than in another place to stay A thousand days beside Much rather would I keep a door In the house of my God Than in the tents of wickedness To take up mine abode 11 For the Lord God our Sun and Shield Will grace and glory give And no good thing from them with-hold Who uprightly do live 12 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts That man is surely blest Who by a stedfast confidence On thee alone doth rest PSALM LXXXV 1 THou hast been favourable O Lord unto thy land And Israel's sad Captivity Thou brought'st back by thy hand 2 Thy people thou forgav'st The guilt that they were in And by thy free and plenteous gracâ— Didst cover all their sin 3 Thy wrath thou took'st away And didst to mercy turn Even from thine anger terrible That did against us burn 4 O God our Saviour Turn us unto thy peace And cause thine anger that 's gone forth Against us for to cease 5 Shall thy displeasure last Against us without end And to all generations Wilt thou thy wrath extend 6 Wilt thou not us restore And quicken us that we Who are thy people evermore In thee may joyful be 7 Shew us thy mercy Lord Which may thy flock relieve And thy salvation unto us In season freely give 8 I 'le hear what God to us Will speak It will be peace To all his Saints But let not them Return to foolishness 9 Surely to all those who In fear of God do stand His help is nigh that Glory may Dwell always in our land 10 Mercy and truth shall meet And no more parted be And Peace with Righteousness shall greet And blessedly agree 11 Truth here even on this earth Shall spring and prosper well And righteousness from heav'n descend And here among us dwell 12 The Lord shall give what 's good Our land shall yield increase 13 Justice to set us in his way Shall go before his face PSALM LXXXVI 1 BOw down thine ear O Lord Hear me for I am poor 2 And in distress Yet I am thine Preserve my soul therefore My God thy servant save Who doth on thee rely 3 Be merciful to me O Lord Who daily to thee cry 4 Rejoyce thy servant's soul For unto thee O Lord Do I lift up my soul in hope That thou wilt help afford 5 For thou O Lord art good And ready to forgive And rich in mercy and all those That seek thee dost relieve 6 Give ear to my request My praying voice attend 7 I 'le call on thee when troubles come For thou wilt answer send 8 Among the Gods O Lord None may with thee compare Neither among the works they do Any like thy works are 9 All nations made by thee Shall come and reverently Worship before thee our great God And thy name magnifie 10 For thou art high and great And wondrous things hast done Besides thee there 's no other God For thou art God alone 11 Teach me thy truth and way And I 'le walk in the same Unite my heart Lord unto thee To fear thy holy name 12 My God with all my heart To thee will I give praise And I the glory will ascribe Unto thy name always 13 For thy mercy to me In greatness doth excel Thou hast delivered my soul Both from the Grave and Hell 14 The proud against me rise Terrible men are met In troops that seek my life but thee Before them have not set 15 But full of pity Lord And gracious thou art found Thou art long-suffering and in truth And mercy dost abound 16 O turn thee unto me And mercy on me have Strengthen thy servant and the Son Of thine own handmaid save 17 Shew me some sign for good That all my foes may see And be asham'd because thou Lord Dost help and comfort me PSALM LXXXVII 1 UPon the sacred hills He his foundation sets 2 More than all Jacob's dwellings else God loveth Sion gates 3 Great things are said of thee O City of the Lord. 4 Rahab's and Babel's case to those That know me I 'le record It 's said of famous Tyre And land of Palestine And of the Ethiopian land This man was born therein 5 Of Sion't shall be said This man and that man there Was born and he that highest is Himself shall stablish her 6 When God recites their names Who his own people are To their great honour he shall count That this man was born there 7 Singers and those that play On musick there shall be Yea all my springs of holy peace And comfort are in thee PSALM LXXXVIII 1 O God who art my hope and help To thee I cryed night and day 2 Let my cries have access to thee Incline thine ear when I do pray 3 My soul with troubles doth abound My life draws nigh unto the grave 4 Like one that to be buryed goes I am as those that no strength have 5 As a companion of the dead Like those that slain in grave do lye Whom thou hast cut off by thy hand And dost put out their memory 6 Thou lay'st me in the lowest pit And as in deep and darksom caves 7 Thy wrath lyes hard on me and thou Afflictest me with all thy waves 8 My friends thou hast put far from me To them as burdensome I grow In sorrows I am so shut up That forth from thence I cannot go 9 My eye through my affliction mourns I call on thee from day to day To thee O Lord I have stretch'd out My craving hands to thee I pray 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead Shall the dead rise and praise thee here 11 Is thy love praised in the grave Doth death thy faithfulness declare 12 Are thy great works known in the dark Or is thy truth and righteousness Remembred and mention'd in The land of deep forgetfulness 13 But unto thee O Lord I cry My morning's pray'r shall thee prevent 14 Lord why dost thou cast off my soul Why is thy face against me bent 15 Even from my early youth I was Afflicted and as near to die While I thy terrors do endure I almost as distracted lie
