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
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me Thy terrors kill and cast me out 17 Like floods they daily on me come Gather and compass me about 18 My dearest friends that did me love Thou hast removed far from me Those that my old acquaintance were Into the dark are cast by thee PSALM LXXXIX 1 OF the great mercies of the Lord I will perpetually sing The notice of thy faithfulness To ages all my mouth shall bring 2 For I have said that mercy shall Be built for ever to endure And in the very heav'ns thou wilt Thy faithfulness establish sure 3 I to my chosen servant have My self by my own Covenant ty'd Even unto David and to him By oath I have it ratify'd 4 That I thy seed establish will That it for evermore endure And to all generations Thy throne will build and settle sure 5 The praises of thy wonders Lord The heav'ns shall gloriously express The Congregations of thy Saints Shall praise thy truth and faithfulness 6 For in the heav'ns themselves who may With thee the only Lord compare Who may be liken'd to the Lord Of all their sons that mighty are 7 God greatly to be feared is Th' assemblies of the Saints throughout And to be had in reverence Of all that him attend about 8 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts What Lord like thee with strength is crown'd Who 's like to thee in faithfulness Which doth thy Throne encompass round 9 When as the swelling Sea doth rage Thou over it dost rule and reign And when the waves thereof arise Thou quickly stillest them again 10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break As one that slain on the earth lies And with thy own Almighty arm Thou scattered hast thine enemies 11 The heav'n and earth the world is thine Their fulness all Thou foundest them 12 Thou mad'st the North and South Tabor And Hermon glory in thy name 13 Strong is thine arm high thy right hand 14 Justice and Judgment are the place Where thy Throne dwells Mercy and Truth Shall ever go before thy face 15 That people truly blessed is The joyful sound and call that know In the light of thy countenance O Lord they onward still shall go 16 In thy great name that people shall Rejoyce all day exceedingly And in thy perfect righteousness Shall they exalted be on high 17 Thou art the glory of their strength Thy love doth exaltation bring 18 Thou Lord alone art our defence And Israel's Holy One our King 19 In vision to thy Holy One Thou said'st I have laid help upon One that is strong and out of all I did exalt a chosen one 20 David my servant I have found With holy Oyl did him anoint 21 With whom my hand shall stablish'd be My arm shall strength to him appoint 22 His foes shall not exact on him Wicked men shall not him afflict 23 His foes before him I 'le beat down His haters I 'le with plagues correct 24 My mercy and my faithfulness Shall keep him and be with him still And while he trusteth in my name His horn of Power exalt I will 25 I 'le set his hand upon the sea And on the rivers his right hand 26 He 'll cry My Father and my God The Rock on which my help doth stand 27 Also I 'le make him my first-born Higher than Kings of any land 28 Mercy I 'le ever keep for him With him my Covenant fast shall stand 29 His seed I 'le make still to endure And as the days of heav'n his Throne 30 If his Children my Law forsake My Judgments do not keep and own 31 If they my statutes do prophane And keep not my Commandements 32 Their sins I 'le visit with the rod And their misdeeds with chastisements 33 Yet I 'le not take from him my love Nor will my faithful promise break 34 My Covenant I 'le not violate Nor alter what of him I spake 35 Once by my Holiness I sware And unto David will not lye 36 His seed and throne shall as the Sun Before me last perpetually 37 And it shall be established For ever and like to the Moon Which as a witness in the heav'ns My steady faithfulness makes known 38 But now thou dost him so forsake As if cast down thou dost him loath And with this thine anointed one Thou dealest as in heavy wrath 39 Thy servant's Covenant hast made void And on the ground prophan'd his Crown 40 His strong holds thou to ruin brought'st And hast broke all his hedges down 41 All spoil him that pass by the way To neighbours a reproach is he 42 And thou hast set up their right hand That his great adversaries be Thou hast made all his foes rejoyce 43 The edge of his sword in his hand Thou turned hast and hast not him Made able in the fight to stand 44 His glory thou hast made to cease His Throne down to the ground hast cast 45 His days of youth hast shortened And him with shame thou covered hast 46 How long Lord shall it ever be That thou wilt hide thy self in ire And shall thy wrath unreconcil'd Consume and burn us up as fire 47 Remember how short is the time That I must here on earth remain Wherefore hast thou all mortal men Made to live here as meerly vain 48 What man is he that liveth here And fatal Death shall never see And who is he that from the grave Can his own life save and set free 49 The former loving kindnesses Which thou O Lord to him didst bear Where are they now Which in thy truth Thou unto David then didst swear 50 Remember Lord the great reproach Which we thy servants daily bear How in my bosom I receive The scorn of them that mighty are 51 The scorn wherewith thine enemies Have thee reproach'd Lord think upon Even that wherewith they have reproach'd The steps of thine anointed One. 52 Blessed and magnified be For evermore our glorious Lord Let all thy Church resound with me Amen Amen with one accord PSALM XC 1 LOrd thou hast been our dwelling-place In all the Changes we have past Unto thy wandring people thou A certain guide and safety wast 2 Before the mountains were brought forth And thou the earth and world didst frame In and to all Eternity Thou art true God and still the same 3 Thou dost dissolve this frame of MAN By wasting age and chastning pain And say'st unto them Now return You mortal sons of men again 4 The long time of a thousand years Appeareth in thy boundless sight As yesterday when it is past And as a hasty watch by night 5 From whence thou carryest them away As things a speedy torrent doth They are asleep and like the grass Which is but of one morning's growth 6 In that morning it flourisheth It quickly grows up and is green And in the evening it 's cut down And dead and withered is seen 7 For by thine anger for our sin We are from earth consum'd
