In Heav'n or earth or deepest Seas He acts what ere He please 7. He makes from earth the vapours rise Which cloud the dark'ned skies From whence He raines and light'ning flings And winds there treasur'd brings 8. He man and beast in Egypt smote 9. And plagues on Pharaoh brought 10. His arme did vanquish Nations great And mighty Kings defeat 11. Sihon and Og and Canaan fell 12. In lot to Israel 13. Therefore Thy pow'rfull Name O Lord Succession shall record 14. Thy iudgments are on sinners bent But tow'rds Thine owne relent 15. The Gods in Heathen Temples sought Are gold and silver wrought 16.

I towards Thy Temple worship will And praises utter still Thy word and Name shall loudly sound Whose love and truth abound 3. When in my plaints to Thee I cry'd Thy love as soon reply'd My fainting spirit was renew'd With strength my soule endu'd 4. The Kings of earth Thy praise shall beare When they Thy words do heare 5. They in the waies of God shall sing The glory of their King 6. For though the Lord be very high Yet He cast's downe His eye The meek and lowly He respects But all the proud neglects 7.

LOrd thou hast throughly searched me I open am and know'n to Thee 2. My sitting downe and my up-rise Are not concealed from Thine eyes Thou understand'st my distant thought Ere it to forme my self had brought 3. Thou circlest in my path and bed And hast my waies discovered 4. Thou hear'st each whisper from my tongue And ere 't was utter'd knew'st it long 5 By Thee I fashion'd am and made Thy hand each part in order lay'd 6. Yet can I not the knowledge gaine How I this being did attaine Which doth in wonder so excell 'T is easier to admire then tell 7. How shall I from Thy spirit fly Or Thy all present pow'r deny 8. If I climbe Heav'n 't is Thine own Shere If stoop to Hell lo Thou art there 9. If borne upon the mornings wing Far as the Sea doth swell or spring 10. Thy Right hand shall protect and lead Where ere my weary footsteps tread 11. If I pretend the darknes shall Upon me like a cov'ring fall Those heavy fogs those mists of night Will quickly cleare and turne to light 12. The thickest shade or blackest cloud Can nothing from thy knowledg shrow'd For darkness doth like Noon-tide shine Light'ned by brighter beams of Thine 13. My reines are Thine Thou mad'st the womb My bodies cloathing to become 14. I will give thanks to Thee O Lord Who was enlived by Thy word With awfull art and wond'rous forme Thou did'st Thy workmanship adorne My soule Their marvels must confess And for Thy favours daily bless 15. Though I was fashion'd in the dark Too secretly for man to mark There is no curious joynt or bone But was to Thy inspection know'n 16. Thou did'st upon my substance look And wrot'st each member in Thy book Thou saw'st how
full river yields T' enrich the thirsty fields 10. The setled furrowes soft with showres Take in Thy blessings stores 11. Thou do'st the year with goodnes crowne Thy clouds drop fatnesse downe 12.

Come see His awfull works and might Shew'n in His children's sight 6. He turn'd the Sea into dry land Wher-on their foot did stand 7. He rules in pow'r His eye doth quell The Nations that rebell 8. O blesse our God so justly fear'd And cause His praise be heard 9. Who makes our soule in life abide Nor lets our feet to slide 10. Thou us O God hast prou'd try'd Like silver purify'd 11. Thou broughtest us into the snare Our loines afflicted are 12. Thou wicked men hast suffered To trample on our head We went through fire and water past Yet sav'dst Thou us at last 13. I will into thy Temple bring A thankfull Offering 14. The vow my lips in trouble made Devoutly shall be paid 15. I offer will burnt sacrifice Whilst clouds of Incense rise Rams Goats with Bullocks from the stall Shall at Thy Altar fall 16. O come and heare my words declare How large Gods favours are 17. When with my mouth on Him I call'd And with my tongue extoll'd 18. If wickednesse my heart regard I shall not then be heard 19. But God enclined hath his eare My prayers voice to heare 20.

Sing unto God sing praises lowd To Him that rides upon the cloud The Name of great Iehovah blesse 5. A father of the fatherlesse For he relieves the widowes wants 6. He solitary housholds plants And frees the Captives from their chaine Whil'st rebels are with hunger slaine 7. When Lord Thy people Thou didst lead And marches through the desart tread 8. The Heavens melted the earth shook And Sinai was with terrour strook 9. Yet Thou upon thy Lot didst powre When faint and weary plenties store 10. Thy congregation Thou didst feed Reliev'dst the poore and help'dst their need 11. The Lord Himselfe did give the word And num'rous preachers it record 12. Kings armies fled and took the foyle Whilst women did divide the spoile 13. Though then ye have neglected ly'n Ye shall againe with lustre shine Like to the doves faire plumed wing As Gold or Silver glistering 14. When God great Kings had put to flight The land was like to Salmon white 15. God's Mount is as faire Bashans hill Whose height does earth with wonder fill 16. Why leap ye hills which so excell This is the hill where God will dwell 17. His Chariots twenty thousand are Thousands of Angels serve His war Second Part. 18 Thou ha'st ascended up on high And captive led captivity Did'st ransome those who did rebell That God might still among them dwell 19. Blest be the Lord the God of health Who loads us daily with His wealth 20 He is the God whose saving breath The issues doth command from death 21. But God shall wound their hatefull head Who wilfully in sins are led 22. He said I will my people keep From Bashan bring through the deep 23. That so Thy foot borne through the cries Of fall'n and dying enemies May dipped be in slaughters flood And tongues of dogs lick up their blood 24. How Thou my God King we know Didst in Thy Sanctuary go 25. Singers lead to the Instrument Then Damsels with their Timbrels went 26. Blesse God all yee from Iacob spring 27. Small Benjamin their Ruler bring With Princely Iudah on the Throne Strong Nepthali and Zebulen 28. Thy God for thee did strength command O let Thy work confirmed stand 29. Then presents shall by Kings to Thee In Salems Temple offer'd be 30. Rebuke the peoples brutish spight Those scatter who in war delight 31. So Egypts Princes and the Moore With hands stretch'd out shall thee adore 32. Earth's Kingdomes sing and praise ascribe To God who 'bove the Heavens doth ride His mighty voyce He out doth send 34.

My haters without cause exceed The haires upon my head And though I things not took restore They wrong and hate me more 5. O God! my folly Thou ha'st know'n My sins to Thee are show'n 6. Let none that seek or wait for Thee Through me confounded be 7. For Thy sake have I borne disgrace Shame cover'd hath my face 8. A stranger to my brethren am Who from my Mother came 9. I in Thy Houses zeale do pine Thy wrongs reputing mine 10. Yet when I fasted wept and mourn'd That my reproach was turn'd 11. For garments I have Sack-cloath worne A Proverb grow'n of scorne 12. Revil'd by those the gate that throng And made the drunkards song 13. But Lord to Thee my prayers climbe In
Who God their refuge make 10. No evill hap shall Thee distast Nor plague thy dwelling wast 11. For He his Angels shall command Thy Centinells to stand 12. In all thy wayes they shall thee keep Whither thou wake or sleep And least a stone thy foot should hurt Their hands shall thee support 13. No Basilisk nor Adders sting Thy life in danger bring Thou shalt upon the Lion tread And bruise the Dragons head 14. Because his love is set on me I will his guardian be Since he acknowledg'd hath My name I will exalt his fame 15.

Mine eye shall see its just desire On those who 'gainst my life conspire And for those wicked enemies Who to my safeties hazard rise Mine eares shall heare them come to nought By Thy revenge to ruin brought 12. The righteous like the Palme shall grow Or Cedars on the mountaines brow 13. Who in Gods House emplanted be Within His courts we prosper see 14.

I compass'd am with paines of Hell The snares of death about me dwell 6. To God I cry'd distrest and griev'd Who from His Temple me reliev'd 7. The earth then trembled at His wrath Which Hir foundations shaken hath 8. A smoake from out His nostrills came And from His mouth devouring flame 9. He bow'd the Heavens and came downe Beneath His feet was darknesse throw'n 10. On flying Cherubs He did ride 11. On wings of Wind through Heaven glide Thick darknesse His Pavilion made And watry Clouds the sky orelay'd 12. Yet at His brightnesse those gave place Whilst haile and fire powr'd down apace 13 His voyce was heard in thunders loud And coales fell from the breaking Cloud 14. His shafts dispers'd them as they flew Their force His darted lightnings slew 15. The Oceans Chanell did appear The world's foundations naked were At Thy rebuke O Lord and blast Which Thy incensed Nostrills cast 16. He me from many waters tooke 17. My too strong foes with vengeance strook 18. They me in day of trouble seiz'd But God my stay those sorrowes eas'd 19. He brought me to a spacious place Deliv'ring me through His free grace 20. He did my righteousnesse regard And cleannesse of my hands reward 21. For I the wayes of God have kept Nor wickedly His precepts left 22. His judgments I and statutes prize Still placing them before my eyes 23. I perfect was and innocent Nor to ungodly courses bent 24. Therefore as guiltlesse and upright I am rewarded in His sight Second Part. 25. Thou to the mercifull art kind 26. And pure where Thou dost purenesse find 27. But with the froward art perverse Dost save the poor the proud disperse 28. For thou my candle wilt make bright And turne my darknesse into light 29.

Be pleas'd to save and keep me fast O Lord to give me help make hast 14. Let them confounded be with shame Who at my soules destruction aime Let them repulsed backe retire Who wish my fall or hurt desire 15. Let them be sham'd and desolate Who Fy upon thee say in hate 16.
