Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage PSAL. 34. vers 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Printed at Glasgow by George Anderson 1646. To the Reader IN this second edition where it might be conveniently done I have made the paraphrase shoâ—ter but by reason that a work of this sort is for a people and children who are rude whereof many can not read but sing after the line is read I have shunned to be too concise lest brevitie should breed obscuritie and many should sing without understanding where two verses might be conveniently joined in four lines I have striven to do it but when I saw that either it made the verse harsh or obscure or that it behooved me to seeke other wordes then the words of the text I rather choised to make the paraphrase a little wider for to keep so far as I could the wordes of the text which is the most acurat version in my judgement that hitherto hath beene In some places obscure I have striven to make the paraphrase like a commentarie as for example PSAL. 76.4 Thou art more glorious and excellent then the mountaines of prey By those mountains of prey the Psalmist understands the enemies of Gods people that made the mountains their strength and from thence came to spoil them like those rebels and robbers that from the mountaines of Scotland have murdered and spoiled Gods Saints and made a prey of them but this is our comfort GOD is more glorious and excellent then the mountains of prey God at last will destroy them for PSAL. 95.4 The strength of the hills is his The Paraphrase Thou surely art more glorious and excellent alway Then the most mighty foes that be in mountains seeking prey Likewise PSAL. 87.7 As well singers as the players on instruments shal be there All my springs are in thee Those last words all my springs are in thee are difficle to many The Herbew is Col-majane bach that is Omnes fontes mei in te that is All my fountains or well-springs are in thee By those springs are understood the affections of the heart whence spring out the praises of the Lord as out of a fountaine The Paraphrase Both singers there and players al 's on instruments shall be All my best hearts affections as well-springs are in theee So have I done in diverse other places to make all clear and plain for the peoples use As for some hard passages where I found great diversitie of opinions of worthy learned men suspending my judgement did strive to keep the words of the text as PSAL. 110.3 In the beauties of holinesse from the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth Some take the beauties of holinesse to be the ornaments of the Sanctuary others referre them to the holy graces and vertues wherewithall the faithfull should bee beautified As for those words From the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth they are very hard Some by the womb of the morning understand the essence of the God-head that was early in the morning before the world was made denoting the eternall generation of Christ This seemes to have beene the minde of the Septuagint whose wordes are those Of the wombe before the morning Starre begat I thee Some take those words to be spoken of Christs man-hood who had the dew of his birth of the obscure wombe of the Virgin Some which I like best interpret this of Christs Church which is said From the wombe of the morning to have the dew of her youth that is as the dew in the morning aire is bred as in a a womb and falleth downe in many drops so the children of God the elected Ones shall in the Church be borne in great number by thee preaching of the Gospell Others give other interpretations because of such a diversitie of opinions I would not change a word of the text The Paraphrase In beauties of great holinesse with a most pleasant shew From the fair mornings womb thou hast evâ—n of thy youth the dew Likewise there is a great diversitie of opinions concerning those words PSAL. 24.6 This is the generation of them that seek him that seek thy face O Jacob.
