LXIX To the chief musician upon Shoshannim A Psalm of David SAve me O God because the flouds do so environ me That ev'n into my very soul come in the waters be I downward in deep mire do sink where standing there is none I am into deep waters come where flouds have o're me gone I weary with my crying am my throat is also dry'd Mine eyes do fail while for my God I waiting do abide Those men that do without a cause bear hatred unto me Then are the hairs upon my head in number moe they be They that would me destroy and are mine enemies wrongfully Are mighty so what I took not to render forc'd was I.

Amongst the tents of Ham ev'n these chief of their strength that were But His own people like to sheep thence to go forth He made And He amidst the wildernesse them as a flock did lead And He them safely on did lead so that they did not fear Whereas their enemies by the sea quite overwhelmed were To borders of His Sanctuary the Lord his people led Ev'n to the mount which His right hand for them had purchased The nations of Canaan by His Almighty hand Before their face He did expell out of their native land Which for inheritance to them by line He did divide And made the tribes of Israel within their tents abide Yet God most high they did provoke and tempted ever still And to observe His testimonies did not incline their will But like their fathers turned back and dealt unfaithfully Aside they turned like a bow that shoots deceitfully For they to anger did provoke Him with their places hie And with their graven images mov'd Him to jealousie When God heard this He waxed wroth and much loath'd Israel then So Shilohs tent He left the tent which He had plac'd with men And He his strength delivered into captivity He left his glory in the hand of his proud enemy His people also He gave over unto the swords fierce rage So sore His wrath inflamed was against his heritage The fire consum'd their choyce young men their maids no marriage had And when their priests fell by the sword their wives no mourning made But then the Lord arose as one that doth from sleep awake And like a gyant that by wine refresht a shout doth make Upon his enemies hinder parts He made his stroke to fall And so upon them He did put a shame perpetuall Moreover He the tabernacle of Joseph did refuse The mighty tribe of Ephraim He would in no wise chuse But He did chuse Jehudahs tribe to be the rest above And of mount Sion He made choise which He so much did love And He his Sanctuary built like to a palace hie Like to the earth which He did found to perpetuitie Of David that his servant was He also choise did make And even from the folds of sheep was pleased him to take From waiting on the ews with young He brought him for to feed Israel His inheritance His people Jacobs seed So after the integrity of his heart He them fed And by the good skill of His hands them wisely governed PSAL. LXXIX A Psalm of Asaph O God the heathen entred have Thine heritage by them Defiled is Thy house on heaps they laid Jerusalem The bodies of thy servants they have cast forth to be meat To rav'nous fowls thy dear saints flesh they give to beasts to eat Their bloud about Jerusalem like water have they shed And there was none to bury them when they were slain and dead Unto our neighbours a reproach most base become are we A scorn and laughing stock to them that round about us be How long Lord shall thine anger last wilt thou still keep the same And shall thy fervent jealousie burn like unto a flame On heathens pour thy fury forth that have thee never known And on these kingdomes which thy Name have never call'd upon For these are they which Jacob have devoured cruelly And they his habitation have caused waste to ly Against us minde not former sins thy tender mercies show Let them prevent us speedily for we 're brought very low For thy Names glory help us Lord who hast our Saviour bin Deliver us for thy Names sake O purge away our sin Why say the heathen Where 's their God let Him to them be known When these who shed thy servants bloud are in our sight o'rethrown O let the prisoners sighs ascend before thy sight on hie Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r that are design'd to dy And to our neighbours bosome cause it seven-fold rendred be Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have O Lord reproached thee So we thy folk and pasture-sheep shall give thee thanks alwayes And unto generations all we will shew forth thy praise PSAL.
