Faithfull be And keep the Laws transmitted here to Thee Their Throne like Thine shall stand and be as Great VII For I have Sion made my Rest The place which I of all the World love best My house for ever where I choose to dwell All Her Provisions I will bless And thence Her poor shall look for their increase And when they see it wonder how it fell VIII There shall her Priests my Praises sing And with Loud Shouts My Saints their Offrings bring The Horn of David there I 'll make to bud An Horn of Plenty full and green Where some New blossoms ever shall be seen Whose fruit's as generous as the root is good IX There for my King I 'll set a light My eye shall make it burn and keep it bright Obscurity shall on His Foes be cast Cover'd with shame they shall ly down But on His head I 'll put a glorious Crown And I who put it on will hold it fast Psalm CXXXIII Ecce quam bonum quam c. I. BLest day wherein I live to see The Tribes like Brethren all agree Like Brethren striving who shall my best Subjects be II. God has by them restor'd my Crown And they secur'd what was their Own For what on me they pour'd upon themselves fell down III. Th' Annointing Oyl they on me spent On them in Acts of Favour went As if for them as much as me the Oyl was meant IV. Like that which on the High-Priest shed At first it only wet His head But then o're beard and cloaths and all was quickly spred V. Or like those mists which from the Main The sun draws up to send again In dews first on the Hills and then the humble Plain VI. With such th' Almighty loves to dwell And Souls agreed His Praise can tell How on them blessings when on others vengeance fell Psalm CXXXIV Ecce nunc benedicite c. I. PRaise Him Ye Servants of th' Eternal King Who alwayes in His Temple stay Till your loud songs the cheerful Morning bring And having chas'd the Night away Call to attend your Sacrifice the rising day II. And as you praise Him let your thankfull hands Their part in all the Service bear They have their language which He understands Though none beside their voice do's hear For them reserves His eye and for your lips His Ear III. The Lord from Sion on Thy Borders reign Showers like that Heav'n which sends them free Return Thy Blessings on Thee back again Let them Thine own and greater be That Gods who Heav'n and Earth did make all for Thee Psalm CXXXV Laudate nomen Domini c. I. YE Servants of th' Immortal King His Masters of request below To whom when We our just Petitions bring Immediately to Heav'n they go And by your means who there attend I' th' flames which burn the Sacrifice ascend To His Great Name which He delights to raise Though far above your reach direct your Praise II. There 's none like Him so full of love On whom you can your praise bestow And if great Goodness can affection move Then praise His Name for that is so For Jacobs seed He gave His voice And plac'd His Treasure where He made His choice So great that none can contradict His will But when they most resist it most fulfill III. His Pleasure Heav'n and Earth obey And Laws which He first gave them keep He chains the Sea and bounding sands do's lay For mighty fetters on the Deep Causes thick vapours to ascend And in one cloud moist Hail and fire do's blend Out of His Treasures brings th' unruly wind And Captive Tempests with strong Cords do's bind IV. In Egypt when He did begin Thus He their First Born would not spare The Beasts were punisht for their Masters sin Under the Curse because they were His Wonders God before Him sent And thither afterwards in Person went Egypt Thou saw'st His hand i' th mid'st of Thee When Pharaoh who did bear it Would not see V. He mighty Kingdoms overthrew Scattred their Forces slew their Kings And Victory which abroad at Pleasure flew Made serve at home without her wings Sehon and Ogg before Him fell In whose Possessions Faithfull Israel dwell That Promised Land which He their Fathers gave Who from that gift their surest Title have VI. Eternal God like Thee Thy Name Endures to all Eternity And as Its Power is constantly the same So shall Its just Memorial be For Thou wilt for Thy People rise Subdue and Scatter all their Enemies That under yoaks they shall no more remain But to Thy House and City be restor'd again VII Dumb Idols shall not Thee withstand Nor thousand Gods fond men adore For all though fashion'd by the Workmans hand Remain the Clay they were before Dull Clay which neither sees nor hears Though Art has given them eyes and made them ears Most Easy Gods to whom when any cry They therefore grant because they can't deny VIII Without or Speech or breath or sense Though they of All the Organs have In vain is help to be expected thence Where 's not enough themselves to save Blind Deities but blinder they Who knowing it to their own Work will pray Ne're thinking that it cannot to them turn And that one fire will god and Incense burn IX But Thou O Israel Bless Thy Lord O House of Aaron bless His Name And you who serve at th' Altar by His Word With coales from thence encrease your Flame Let joy in every Face appear And bless the Lord whom you have made your Fear From Sion bless Him who reigns King above But at Jerusalem is The God of Love Psalm CXXXVI Consitemini Domino Quoniam c. I. OPraise The Lord for He is Good And let the World His love adore For though His Power may aw them more His Love guards those who are by that withstood His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure II. Praise Him who o're all gods do's reign The God of Gods of Kings the King To whom all Thrones this Homage bring What He first gave them to resign again His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure III. All that We see His hand has done Who makes His Mighty Power appear With wonder strikes us and with fear For His own sake He did it and alone His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure IV. He made the Heav'ns that glorious space Which has no bound and knows no end Whose greatness man can comprehend As little as that God who made the Place His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure V. The Flood at first hid all the Land Till He rais'd it above the Flood Where it unmov'd e're since has stood He stretcht it out by reaching out His hand His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure VI. The Lamps of Heav'n ow all their light To Him who caus'd them first to shine He on them
did up against me rise With charge of Crimes I never knew My good deeds answer'd with indignities And to the death my Soul did close pursue Those for whose griefs I truly mourn'd And pray'd for sick though on my self the prayers return'd VII For my best Friend I could have done no more Nor more had he my Brother been I did as heartily his loss deplore As if I then my Mothers grave had seen Though in my troubles they rejoyce And all my griefs outbrave with their insulting voice VIII Basest of men against me make an head And unawares my Name did tear Scoffs spent on me was all they pay'd for bread And gnashing teeth for their delicious fare And shall it thus for ever be Lord from these Lions save my Soul redeem'd by Thee IX Let not my causless enemies rejoyce Nor me with scornfull looks upbraid Whose hearts are viler than the common voyce And seem for discord only to be made Then I Thy fame to Heaven will raise And in Thy Peoples sight return Thee all the Praise X. On mee with open mouth they railing came And this said they we wisht to see My God behold it too and let a flame Dart from thy sight that they consum'd may be Arise great Judge and come away Stand up nor longer e're Thou pass the sentence stay XI Be Thou our Judge who art my Advocate Nor let my Enemies thus boast So we would have it and 't is now too late For God to help though he in God should trust But let them be to ruin brought Who thus have rais'd themselves thus low of Thee have thought XII But let all those who favour my Just cause Continually with shouting say Blest be Our God who with such equal Laws Peace on His flock chains on His foes do's lay His Righteousness shall be my Song And all my life to praise Him shall not seem too long Psalm XXXVI Dixit injustus ut delinquat c. I. BAse hypocrite think'st thou by this disguise To ' impose on Him who sees thy heart And more than thou its guiles descries Both knows it whole and searches every part Thy wicked words thy thoughts declare And like them both thy actions are Speaking aloud what once to think thou should'st not dare II. They tell me thou dost not th' Almighty fear Though thou would'st have me think thou dost But God do's all thy whisperings hear And could'st thou Him deceive thou then mightst boast At length like fire sin will break out With vengeance which thou shalt not doubt When it like fire shall burn and scatter all about III. To wrong the easie is his chief design Mindless of doing any good This takes up all his thoughts and time And every night he lays new trains for blood But Lord Thy Mercy far extends And the close bounds of Heav'n transcends Without beginning ever was and never ends IV. Thy Righteousness my God do's stand secure Fixt like the everlasting hills Deep as the Sea yet flowes more sure Though nothing its unfathom'd Ocean fills Full from it self no Ebb it knows But into thousand channels flowes And to this deep both Man and Beast its Being owes V. And as Thy Righteousness such is Thy Love Therefore to Thee for help we fly On Thine own wings we tow'rds Thee move And cover'd under them in safety ly This is our comfort while below That we beyond our fears can go And what we shall enjoy in part before hand know VI. For when this wretched life an end shall have And our unpinion'd Souls fly home When freedom shall spring from the grave And death the fertile womb of life become No sorrows then our joy shall spoyl Nor shall we need the day beguile Eternity it self shall seem a little while VII Pleasures and joy eternally shall flow For Thou their Spring shalt ne're decay That Region do's no darkness know For Thou the Suns Sun art Thy self its day A Sun which makes all objects light Without the least allay of night A Sun whereby we may see Thee it is so bright VIII Till Thou art thus enjoy'd some glimps bestow Let from above Thy glory shine Dart but one ray that I may know Though yet I see Thee not that I am Thine Thy Righteousness assign the just Thy Mercy those who on Thee trust And let the proud though rais'd be driven like the dust IX Against Thy servant let him not prevail Nor to offend him raise his foot Let all his Toyls and Engins fail And his hands prove too weak to stir my root But lo hee 's fallen to the ground The Earth did with the shock resound And opening made a way whose tract shall ne're be found Psalm XXXVII Noli aemulari in malignantib c. I. FRet not thy self to see the prosperous state Of him who dearly buyes it with his sin Nor thy content for his abundance hate Thou know'st not how hee 's lasht and torn within The Worm which at the root do's ly And though the Flower look ne're so fair Though hand or Scythe its life should spare By this intestine Enemy Which first assails the heart through all its guards 't will dy II. Ne're envy him but all thy Confidence There only place where it secur'd may be On God who blessings do's around dispense Yet what He gives expects again from Thee Like His Thy goodness must extend For thus Thou shalt the Land possess Thy Land enjoy the fruits of Peace On its ne're-failing stock shalt spend Till there 's no further need and thou to Heav'n ascend III. Let the Almighty be thy love and care Thy Counsellor to whom thou may'st commit All thy distrusts thy troubles griefs and fear And judge that always best which He thinks fit Then to thy prayers shall he incline Grant thy desires and bring about Affairs whose end thou most didst doubt Make thee to His thy will resign That having done His Pleasure thou may'st say'tis thine IV. Then shall thy Justice like the day appear First breaking through the dungeon of the night Backward it looks and sees behind all clear And bids the Sun close follow with his light Thy Righteousness shall be that Sun Which all the Mines of night displayes And all its treasons open layes Clear as his own fair beams at Noon When he has reacht Heav'ns top and half his course has run V. What though thy forward prayers his help outgo And that the time thou hadst prefixt is past Wait still for God the fittest time do's know And what 's deferr'd a while shall come at last Thy murmuring do's but feed thy pain For envy rage and guilt makes way And vice which in no bounds will stay Indulge thy self but to complain Thy hand e're long as much as mouth will need a rein VI. Why should'st thou envy him whose great estate Prepares him only for the greater blow Which shall be swift and certain as his fate And his vast riches to another go They
are IX As one past hope they of me speak And think by that to make me fear But all their words nor can my silence break Nor them convince that I so much as hear Without reproofs as dumb patient as without ear X. But Thou O God art my great trust And unto Thee my heart do's pray Hear me My God lest they who so much boast Seeing me fall presumptuously inveigh 'T was caus'd by theirs when Thou but took'st Thy hand away XI I know I have deserv'd to fall And even to Hell to be cast down But let my tears Thy help and pardon call I grieve Thou see'st and my transgressions own Forbear Thine Lord where sentence has already gone XII For this my Enemies encrease My sins I know have made them strong For this all thoughts of former kindness cease And my just deeds they recompense with wrong Yet still I 'll follow Thee though th' way be rough long XIII Forsake me not but be my guide And lead me that I never stray For should'st Thou go too fast before or hide Thy gracious sight I should benighted stay And still the more I sought the more should lose my way Psalm XXXIX Dixi custodiam vias c. I. LEt him go on for me I said And into his rude passions break I'll keep the resolutions I have made And though he urge me to it will not speak Will not of all his injuries complain For though his words are Spears his sight shall be a rein II. This while the wicked was in sight I with my self resolv'd to do My stubborn mouth was silenter than night Grief strook me dumb before his presence now Not one good word did from my lips once fall Least I should speak amiss I would not speak at all III. But as a wild unruly fire The more 't is checkt the more't do's burn My heart inflam'd by vchement desire To answer him did on it self return And there it rag'd and there it burnt so long Till it brake out at last and set on fire my tongue IV. Lord said I then make me to know What bound is set to my few dayes How long from thee I must remain below Strange to my own but stranger to Thy wayes How frail I am how near unto my end That what 's Thine own I may before hand to Thee send V. I know I 'm frail and if with Thyne I my uncertain life compare That age which I may truly say is mine And all my dayes to Thy years nothing are Mans best estate is but an empty strife And if there can be less than nothing found 't is Life VI. The faint resemblance of a shade That scarce can in conception be And yet how great a slave poor Man is made Whom God at first appointed to be free An airy thing that only lives by Fame And whom unweildy passions ruin give and Name VII He loves and hates and hopes and fears And with fresh wounds renews his pain Troubles himself at every thing he hears And scarce recovered slips and falls again Erects vast Piles and endless wealth do's save Yet knows not who the fruit of all his cares shall have VIII What then my God can I expect Truly my hope depends on Thee May'st Thou Thy Servant from all wrongs protect And from my sins worse Foes deliver me Not that they were unheard I dumb did stand But when they spake upon my self I felt Thy hand IX When Thou dost man for sin chastise And with Thy judgments on him fall No beauty in his own less in Thine eyes Is left of that which he did beauty call But like a garment which the Moth has fret Just such a thing is Man though ne're so high and great X. Remove Thy hand for Lord I faint Thy wrath I can no longer bear From Heav'n bow down and hear my sad complaint Speak Lord that I may know I have Thine ear O from my tears turn not Thy face away They on Thee call and be not Thou more dumb than they XI Thou know'st I have no resting place I nor my Fathers here below They 're gone and I must follow them apace Spare me before I that great Journey go Lord spare me who e're long shall be no more Forgot by mine as I have those who went before Psalm XL. Expectans expectavi c. I. IN my great trouble when all hopes did fail I patiently for God did wait And found my Prayer then to prevail When all means else or useless prov'd or came too late II. The Lord unto my voice inclin'd His ear And from the pit deliver'd me A pit whose sight strook me with fear And only as my dungeon could more dreadfull be III. There stuck my feet and thence He brought me out And on a rock to fall no more But to view Him and look about As high He rais'd me as I was cast down before IV. Where as I stood I sang with chearfull Voice His praises who deliver'd me Whil'st those who fear'd before rejoyce A certain Providence in all events to see V. Blest is that man who makes the Lord his trust His firmest stay and confidence Unbyass'd by anothers lust And keeps his own from having any influence VI. Many and fearfull things Thy hand has done And whose can with Thy works compare But could Thy thoughts to us be known Numberless Lord and like Thee infinite they are VII I heard Thee say Thou dost not blood desire No Off'rings or Burnt-Sacrifice That Altars smoak with daily fire And with the clouds they upward send obscure the skies VIII Instead of them my self I bring to Thee And in Thy Roll if Thou but look 'T is written there concerning me Nor is my Name alone but Office in Thy Book IX 'T is entred there what my delights have been And that I more to Thee might draw How I Thy Righteousness have seen And what I knew and kept to others preach'd Thy Law X. Thou know'st O God my tongue has not been still And that Thy Word I ne're conceal'd But as I knew what was Thy Will Its Truth and Faithfulness have in Thy Church reveal'd XI Thy wonted Grace ah do not then withhold But in Thy mercies Lord draw near Those mercies which have been of old And in my help with greater lustre will appear XII For thousand evils have begirt me round And all my sins upon me seise With pensive eyes fixt on the ground I dare not upward look their numbers so encrease XIII If to the sky I in the sky behold Stars which one yet may sooner count My hairs could every hair be told Compar'd with them are lost and to no summ amount XIV Wherefore my God be pleas'd to come away And to my rescue make more haste My troubles call O do not stay Nor let Thy help be slow when they come on so fast XV. Now come and with Thy Presence Lord confound My proud and cruel Enemy Level his greatness
But on Thy God O Israel trust He only is Thy help and shield O house of Aaron flee to Him that 's Just For He is Thine and help will yield All you who fear th' Almighty Lord Upon Him trust and flee unto His Word For He 's your help and He will be your shield And though you flee it is to gain the field VI. The Lord has mindful of us been And He will all Our joyes restore The house of Israel have His blessing seen And He will bless them more and more The house of Aaron He will bless And all who fear Him shall by ' His love encrease 'Twixt rich and poor He do's no difference know But by His blessing both in numbers grow VII Bless'd of that God who all things made Both Earth and Sea and glorious Heaven High Heav'n's His seat and of Him is afraid But He to Man the Earth has given 'T is there that we admire His Wayes Before the grave shut us up and His Praise There will we bless the God in whom we live And as He life to us Him praises give Hallelujah Psalm CXVI Delexi quoniam exaudivit c. I. I Love Thee Lord with my whole heart For Thou dost my petitions hear Because Thou to me hast inclin'd Thine ear And thus propitious to Thy servant art With new requests I 'll ever prove Thee And shew by that I love Thee II. The pains of death enclos'd me round Grief held my heart and teares my eyes My grave stood open and death thence did rise Trouble and Horror on all sides I found Death it self waited underneath Above the pains of Death III. Yet to the Lord I cry'd and said My God Thy help I now implore Deliver me as Thou hast done before When in my trouble I unto Thee pray'd Though I deserv'd to be deni'd Yet to the Lord I cry'd IV. To wrath He 's slow abounds in love Our sins most ready to forgive The Innocent upon His bounty live In Him they live who reigns their God above He help'd me when I was brought low For He to wrath is slow V. Then to Thy rest my Soul return For God has kindly dealt with Thee Thy feet from sliding life from death set free Nor shall Thy failing eyes in sorrow mourn Thy dayes to praise Him are increas'd Return Soul to Thy rest VI. Lord I believe and therefore speak I knew I should Thy Mercy praise Though when afflicted and in rugged wayes One sorrow did my heart and silence break Then I all flesh the ly did give And yet Lord I believe VII What shall I bring and yield the Lord For all His Favours shown to me A thankful heart my sacrifice shall be I 'll praise Him and rely upon His Word New songs of thanks I 'll to Him sing And this at least will bring VIII My Vowes which in distress I made Before His People will I pay His People shall rejoice that solemn day Whilst those who are His En'mies be afraid When He His plagues upon them throws And do's accept My Vowes IX Dear in His sight His servants are He will Himself repay their wrong Though in forbearing He may seem too long It is more deep to strike and not to spare Nor is the death of the upright Less pretious in His sight X. Lord I am Thine and thine will be Thy Handmaids Son whom Thou did'st save My God Himself a ransome for me gave And to a nobler service set me free Thou brake'st my bonds and made'st me mine And now Lord I am Thine XI This will I bring and yield the Lord For all His Favours shown to me A thankful heart my sacrifice shall be I 'll praise Him and rely upon His Word New songs of thanks I 'll to Him sing And this at least will bring XII My Vowes which in distress I made Before His People will I pay His People shall rejoice that solemn day And where I made them there shall see them pai'd Within the Courts of the Lord's House There will I pay my Vowes Hallelujah Psalm CXVII Laudate Dominum Omnes c. I. ALL you who to the Lord your Beings ow All Nations with His blessings crown'd All people through the World renown'd Sing praises to that God who made you so II. To God whose Mercy do's to all extend Is great to us and good to you And with His Truth do's still renew But like Himself knowes neither bound nor end Hallelujah Psalm CXVIII Confitemini Domino quoniam c. I. TO God's Almighty Name sing praise And you who know how good He is Resign to Him what 's truely His And Arches of His own great Mercies raise For like His Word they have been sure And to Eternity endure II. Israel the great Jehova's choice Who all His fearful Works have seen Who His great Care have alwayes been Let Israel now confess with thankful voice His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure III. Let those who by their place attend And at His Altar daily wait Their own experiences relate Sing as they see the sacred flame ascend His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure IV. And to advance the Blessed King Let all the Righteous with them join And in a service thus Divine Bear their part too and in the Chorus sing His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure V. To God on high for help I cri'd Who from His Temple answer'd me Both heard my prayers and set me free The Lord of Host Himself was on my side I will not fear what man can do Since I 've a God to flee unto VI. With those who help'd me He was seen His Presence brought my greatest aid Nothing shall make me now afraid He 'll be my sword who has my Buckler been And when my Foes shall be o'rethrowne I 'll boast of what His hand has done VII Those who their Care on God do cast And know no other will but His Of sure recruits shall never miss But as a Rock i' th' midst of stormes stand fast On God 't is more secure to trust Than man who must return to dust VIII He never yet did any fail Most sure when most reli'd upon And though His Power subscribes to none He lets weak prayers o're Heav'n and Him prevail On God 't is more secure to trust Than Princes who must turn to dust IX Let Barbarous Nations girt me round And for my ruine all engage My trust is plac'd above their rage And stands unshaken on the higher ground For on the Lord of Hosts I 'll call And in His Name destroy them all X. Round let them compass me and round And for my ruine all engage My Trust is plac'd above their rage And stands unshaken on the higher ground For on the Lord of Hosts I 'll call And in His Name destroy them all XI Let them
praise And in my Song recount of all Thy Wayes More tunefull Measures will invent new strings put on And raise my Harp with the great Subject to Thy Throne For God Salvation gives to Kings And David out of all His troubles brings From strangers who that love pretend Which He dares never trust their mouths so proudly speak Whose right hands faith they plighted break And swords which they have drawn into their hearts shall send V. He makes Our sons like Fruitful plants to grow And their increase to Him alone we owe Our daughters to be Corner stones polisht and fair Which different Houses joyn and their supporters are From Him alone comes all Our store And that Our presses with new Wine run o're That Our full Barnes no want have known Our stacks no emptiness but with those sheaves are crown'd With which He first did load the ground And now them so that with the mighty weight they groan VI. He to ten thousands multiplies Our sheep More than our folds can pin or pastures keep Our Oxen fat and strong not it as labour know But freely yield their necks to th' Service of the Plow Down at Our Gates no Enemie sits There 's no Al'arm or mourning in our streets Thrice happy lands which thus can say And undisturb'd can thus enjoy the fruits of Peace If there be any lands like these Yet those whose God 's the Lord are happier far than They. Psalm CXLV Exaltabo te Deus meus Rex c. MY God My King I will sing praise to Thee Till like Thy Name my songs Eternal be Every day Lord will I sing praise to Thee Till like Thy Name my songs Eternall be Great is the Lord and worthy of all Praise And as Himself Unsearchable His Wayes One age to count His Works will ne're suffice Their number to so great a sum do's rise The next shall take it and the next from them And in their songs improve the lofty Theam Sing of the Honour of His Majesty How farr He is exalted and How high Speak of His Reverend Acts His greatness show Above how full of Love of dread below Of all His Goodness and what He has done Both for His Peoples Glory and His Own The Lord is gracious do's with Love o'reflow Plenteous in Mercy and to anger slow Kind as a Father o're whose Works there shine Glories of Mercy mixt with rayes Divine All Thy Workes praise Thee and Thy power proclame Thy Kingdoms beauties and Thy Holy Name Thy Saints shall bless Thee and Thy Acts make known And to Posterity continue down How to Eternity Thy Rule extends And that Thy Empire Lord knowes neither bounds nor ends The Lord upholds all those who fall do's raise The Poor on high that they may see His Wayes On Him the eyes of all His Creatures wait To Him they look and He provides them meat Opens His Hand do's their desires fulfill And as He answers theirs performes His Will So Just is He so Righteous in His wayes That were We silent stones would speak His Praise And to ' His afflicted Peoples Prayers so near That their requests e're finisht granted are And when to Him for help they send their cryes His Truth prevents them oftner than denies For the desires of such who Him do fear Shall be fulfil'd and He their groans will hear Will crown their Love and with His Own right hand Destroy their Foes and on their ruins make them stand Let the whole World O God sing praise to Thee And like Mine may their songs Eternall be Psalm CXLVI Lauda anima mea Dominum c. I. ARise my Soul and Thy great subject take The Worlds Creators praises sing That Ground Thy Numbers will more flowing make And fill with spirit the heaviest string He is my song and He my Verse shall raise And only with my life shall end my Praise II. Trust not in Princes for their strength is vain In Kings place not your confidence The greatest King cannot himself maintain But lives himself at Gods expence Is Earth and when He but His breath recalls Into that Earth whence he was taken falls III. Death layes him level with his vilest Slave No more his Acts remembred are Though his Atchievements follow to the Grave And deck his Herse they leave him there With his last breath to air his Counsels go And his high thoughts ly with his Carkass low IV. But happy he who has his trust in store And do's on Jacobs God depend He need no forreign succour to implore But up to Heav'n his wishes send And of his certain aids he ne're shall miss For the true God his mighty keeper is V. He Heav'n and all the glories of it made Those beauteous fires we see above Where greatness makes His Enemies afraid But in His Saints enflames their love Who on the floods commands the Earth to stand And holds them in the hollow of His hand VI. To Him for Justice the Oppres'd do cry Who all their groans and plaints do's hear And to His great Tribunall when they fly He on their Judges turnes their feares With His good things the hungry Soul do's fill And makes deaf chaines hear and obey His Will VII He made the eye and gave it all its light Lifts from the dust the poor mans head Renews each morning both their life and sight Whom sleep had numbred with the dead His Common Providence is over all But His Choice blessings on the Righteous fall VIII The unreguarded stranger is his care And He for th' Orphan do's provide Himself comes down and heares the Widows prayer When her deaf Friends are turn'd aside Th' inexorable Wicked man o'rethrowes And makes him feel the weight of his own blowes IX Such is Thy King O Sion whose Command Being and life gives every thing Exempt from his Dominion is no land Thy God O Sion is Thy King His Powerfull influence do's around extend And as His Rule Thy Praise should know no end Hallelujah Psalm CXLVII Laudate Dominum quoniam c. I. YOU who th' Almighty God adore To His great Name sing praise His Power you cannot honour more Nor more advance your laies This is the Service which to Him you owe And this of all he best accepts below II. Jerusalem the Great the Fair 'T is God who made Her so Her People though they scattred are He like Her stones do's know And both will gather both in ' His hand will take His City One th' Other His Temple make III. The troubled heart with care deprest He up on high do's raise Refreshes weary Souls with rest And sinners shews His Wayes And like a Friend who all their miseries feels Binds up the broken and the wounded heales IV. Those rich Enamels of the sky The Stars which shine above Have several Names He knowes them by And at His Will they move To Him they look and looking only thence Have all their luster Formes and Influence V. Great is
