's God that bringeth down the high and exalteth the low That drieth up the Green Tree and that causeth the Dry Tree to flourish God is Judg he setteth up one and pulleth down another Thou art the great Rewarder and Punisher of Good and Evil. Thou fillest Heaven and Earth with thy presence Thou art acquainted with all our ways and ponderest all our goings Thou sittest upon the Thrones in the Heavens and from thence beholdest the bottomless places There is not any Creature that is not manifest in thy sight All things are naked before thine Eyes with whom we have to do He that planted the Ear shall he not hear and he that formed the Eye shall he not see Thou discoverest Deep things out of Darkness and bringeth to Light the Shadow of Death Thou declarest the things that are past and for to come and revealeth the steps of hidden things No thought escapeth thee neither is any word hidden from thee The ways of good men and the goodness of their ways and the ways of evil men and the evil of their ways are not hidden from thee The Lord is in his Holy Temple the Lords Throne is in Heaven his Eyes behold his Eye lids try the Children of Men. Thou searchest the Heart thou triest the Reins that thou may'st give unto every Man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings Thou watchest over the Wicked to pluck them up and to destroy them but thou watchest over the Righteous to build them and to plant We own thy absolute Soveraignty over us and although thou art girded with Strength and who can say What doest thou Yet thou doest nothing but what is equal and right Thy ways are always full of righteousness tho not always full of clearness to mortals Thou art righteous in all thy Ways and just in all thy Judgments As thou art known to be King of Nations by thy works of Providence abroad in the World so thou art known to be the King of Saints because the Scepter of thy Kingdom is a Scepter of Righteousness Thou lovest Righteousness and Judgment and takest pleasure in Uprightness All the Works of the Lord are good he giveth every one in season and when need is so that a man need not say this is worse than that for in due time all thy doings will prove worthy of praise Our God one day will bring forth all the grounds of all his Dispensations towards Man and all the Proceedings with him in such a demonstrative and undeniable Consonancy even to the very Reason of Man that every Mouth shall be stopped It s far from thee to do wickedness it s far from the Almighty to commit iniquity Thy Counsels of old are Faithfulness and Truth Thou sittest upon the Throne of Holiness To thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry Holy Holy Holy Lord God of Sabbaoth Righteousness and Judgment are the Habitations of thy Throne Thou keepest the Paths of Judgment According to thy Name O Lord so are thy praises to the ends of the Earth thy right hand is full of Righteousness Thou exercisest Loving Kindness Righteousness and Judgment in the Earth for thou excellest therein They that honour thee thou wilt honour but they that despise thee shall be but lightly esteemed The righteousness of the Upright shall deliver them but the Wicked shall be caught in their own naughtiness The Lord loveth the righteous but the wicked and him that loveth violence his Soul hateth The Lord is known by the Judgment that he executeth the wicked is snar'd in the work of his own hands The foolish shall not stand in thy sight thou hatest all the workers of iniquity He that will not bow to thy Scepter of Mercy shall be crushed in pieces by the Rod of thy Wrath. With thee is terrible Majesty Thou canst shew thy strength at all times and who may with-stand the power of thine Arm. At thy wrath the Earth shall tremble the wicked shall not be able to abide thine Indignation Thou who build'st the World can'st easily destroy the wicked Thou art wise in heart and mighty in strength who hath harden'd himself against thee and prosper'd The Pillars of Heaven tremble and are astonish'd at thy reproof Thro the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit unto thee We adore thy righteousness O God when thou punishest the wicked because they trample upon thy most righteous Edicts When thou judgest 't is not out of Soveraignty but Justice Thou never did'st command Man to do any thing but what was conducible to his own happiness Thou madest the World for Man thou madest Man to obey thee and the reason thou commanded'st Man to serve thee was that thereby he might be eternally blessed If we had walk'd in thy Counsels they had before this time led us out from under the Curse we are now labouring under One day in thy Courts is better than a thousand elsewhere It 's better to be a Door-keeper in the House of God than to dwell in the Tents of Wickedness We taste and relish the joys of Heaven when we contemplate thy Attributes which are the Notifications of thy Nature so far as is knowable The Demonstrations that thou hast given of thy self in thy Attributes is sufficient if we did but rightly consider to make us both fear and love thee Thy Holiness Justice and Power well consider'd would put a Bridle in our Jaws to keep us from rushing into Sin as a Horse rusheth into the Battle And thy Mercy Truth Goodness and Sufficiency well learn'd is enough to make us love thee and to be a willing people in the day of thy Power Confession of Sin OUR Guilt flasheth in our Faces wo unto us for we have sinned We have not kept the way of the Lord but perfidiously departed from our God In the greatness of our Folly we have gone astray We have Prophan'd our Affections which are due onely to God by setting them upon base and contemptible Objects The Spirit of Fornication is in the midst of us According to the multitude of the Fruit we have increased the Altars according to the goodness of our Land we have made the Images We have gone a Whoring after our own Inventions Sin like a strong Byass hath drawn our hearts from God We have run after other Lovers our Adulteries are between our Breasts We have tempted Temptation to deceive us How hotly we have follow'd the Chase of our own Delusions We are guilty of the two Old Evils we have snatch'd at the Shadow but let go the Substance VVe have forsaken the Fountains of Living Water and have hewn unto our selves broken Cisterns that hold no VVater Instead of trusting in God that giveth good things we have trusted in the good things that God hath sent Instead of rejoycing in God that giveth us Blessings we rejoyce in the Blessings that God hath given We have gaz'd upon the brightness but consider'd not the britleness We have
