themselves At us do daily laugh and flout 7 Turn us again O Lord of Hosts And upon us do thou vouchsafe To make thy pleased face to shine And then we shall again be safe 8 Thou hast a Vine from Egypt brought By thy out-stretched mighty hand And thou the heathen didst cast out And plant it in their promis'd land 9 Before it thou prepared'st room And mad'st it therein take deep root Till it did spread and multiply And so did fill the land throughout 10 Through its increase the hills about Were cloath'd and covered with its shade And like the lofty Cedar trees Her spreading branches were display'd 11 And she as far as to the sea Her prosperous fruitful boughs did send And to the bounding river's side Her out-spread branches did extend 12 Why hast thou then her fencing hedge Thus greatly broken and cast down So that all passengers her fruit Do pluck and take even as their own 13 It rooted up and wasted is By the unclean boar of the wood And all the wild beasts of the field Devour it as their proper food 14 O God of Hosts we thee beseech With help return yet unto thine With mercy look from heav'n behold And visit this thy wasted Vine 15 The Vineyard which inclosed by thee Thy right hand set and planted young And that chief branch which for thy self In it thou mad'st so high and strong 16 It is as fuel now cut down And burnt up by the raging fire They perish when thy countenance Rebuketh them with burning ire 17 Let thy defending hand be on The chosen man of thy right hand The son of man whom for thy self Thou madest strong to Rule and stand 18 So will we not go back from thee Nor from our promis'd duty fall Quicken and raise us up and we Upon thy Name will trust and call 19 Turn us again Lord God of Hosts And upon us do thou vouchsafe To make thy pleased face to shine And then we shall be ever safe PSALM LXXXI 1 UNto the glorious God our strength Sing all aloud with raised voice And unto Jacob's mighty God In praise make all a joyful noise 2 Take ye a Psalm the Timbrel bring To help our joyful melody The pleasant Harp and every string We 'll use with the sweet Psaltery 3 In the new Moon the Trumpet blow The time which God whom we obey Appointed us this use to keep Even on our solemn feast ing day 4 A statute this for Israel was A Law which Jacob's God had sent 5 To Joseph made a testimony When he from Egypt saved went He heard a speech not understood 6 The heavy burdens he did bear I from his shoulders took his hands From making pots delivered were 7 Thou call'dst in fear I saved thee And from the secret thundring sky I answer'd and at Meribah Thy wavering trust in me did try 8 Hear O my people and my mind I 'le shew and testifie to thee O Israel if thou wilt obey And truly hearken unto me 9 Then know that no strange God at all In thee I ever will allow Nor shalt thou to any strange God By way of worship kneel and bow 10 For I the Lord thy God am he Who thee from Egypt's bondage led Open thy mouth wide and thou shall By me be plentifully fed 11 But this my people would not hear This statute which to them I spake And Israel would have none of me But this my great Commandment brake 12 So to their hardened hearts and lusts I left them and so far forsook And in their own wrong way they walkt And their own foolish counsel took 13 O that my people had receiv'd My Word and Law which I thus made And Israel had walked in My righteous Laws and me obey'd 14 I should then quickly have subdu'd To them their feared enemies And turn'd my hand against all those That did as foes against them rise 15 The haters of the Lord to him Should have submission made or feign'd But as for them their prosp'rous time Should surely ever have remain'd 16 He should have fed them with the fat And finest flower of the Wheat And made the Rock with honey flow That thou thereof thy fill might'st eat PSALM LXXXII 1 IN the Assembly of the great'st The Lord o're all himself doth stand As Judge among those called Gods The mortal Rulers of the

overthrown 6 I call'd you Gods for ruling power Honour'd sons of the Highest all 7 But you shall die like men and like To other mortal Princes fall 8 Arise O Lord and judge the earth And bring unjust oppressors down For thou all nations shall possess And rule them justly as thine own PSALM LXXXIII 1 LOrd do not silence keep Nor longer hold thy peace Seem not these doings to neglect And bear with wickedness 2 For now thine enemies Do rage tumultuously And they that hate thee are set up And lift their heads on high 3 They crafty Counsel take Against thy people all And against thine own hidden ones They plot and seek their fall 4 They say Let 's cut them off That they no Nation be And that the name of Israel come No more in memory 5 Together they consult With one consenting hate Even against thee thy peoples strength They are confederate 6 Edom and Ishmaelites Moab and Hagarens 7 Gebal Ammon and Amalek Tyre and the Philistines 8 Assur is with them joyn'd Lot's Children to assist 9 Do them as the Midianites And as to Sisera's host And as at Kison brook To Jabin who did fall 10 At Endor who became as dung To soil the earth withal 11 Make thou their Nobles all Like Oreb and Zeeb Let their Princes as Zeba be And as Zalmunna dead 12 Who said Let 's to our selves The houses of God take 13 My God like rowling wheels or chaff Before the wind them make 14 As fire burns wood and flame The mountains sets on fire 15 Chase and affright them with the storms And tempests of thine ire 16 With shame their faces fill That they may seek thy name 17 Let them confounded be and vext And perish in their shame 18 That men may know that thou Whom we Jehovah call In all the earth art supream Lord And highest over all PSALM LXXXIV 1 HOw lovely is thy dwelling-place O Lord of Hosts to me

thee 2 And now when I in trouble am Hide not thy gracious face from me Bow thine ear to me when I call Hear me and answer speedily 3 My days consumed are like smoak My very bones are burnt and dry 4 My heart within me smitten is And like to grass it 's withered So swallow'd up with grief that I Do even forget to eat my bread 5 By reason of my groaning voice My bones cleave to my withered skin 6 I like mournful Pelican Of the sad wilderness have bin I like an Owl in desart am Who nightly there doth streech and moan 7 I watch and like a sparrow am That sits on the house-top alone 8 My persecuting enemies All day do me reproach and scorn And they that mad against me are Are all against me set and sworn 9 Ashes I eaten have like bread And mingled have my drink with tears 10 Because thine indignation hot And wrath doth cause my pains and fears In mercy thou didst lift me up But thou hast cast me very low 11 My days like shadows do decline And like the wither'd grass I grow 12 But thou art the eternal God And ever dost endure the same Beyond all generations is The memory of thy glorious name 13 Thou wilt arise On Sion thou Wilt timely shew thy mercy great The time to favour her

them and deliverance gave 11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes Not one of them was left alive 12 And then they did believe his word And praise in joyful songs did give 13 They soon forgat his works and for His Counsels did not wait with trust 14 But in the desart tempted God And there provokingly did lust 15 He granted them their own request But to their souls he leanness sent 16 They envy'd Moses in the Camp And Aaron the Lord 's chosen Saint 17 The open'd earth Dathan devour'd Cover'd Abiram's company 18 A fire among them kindled was The wicked were burnt up thereby 19 In Horeb they did form a Calâ— The molten Image worshipped 20 To the shape of a grazing Ox Their God their Glory they changed 21 Their God and Saviour who had done Great things in Egypt they forgat 22 Wondrous works in the land Ham By the Red-Sea dreadful and great 23 Therefore he said he 'd them cut off Had not lest he should them destroy His chosen Moses in the breach Stood for to turn his wrath away 24 Yea they despis'd the pleasant land And did not yet believe his word 25 But often murmur'd in their Tents And heard not the voice of the Lord. 26 In desart them to overthrow He therefore did lift up his hand 27 Abroad to make their seed to fall And scatter them in every land 28 They joyn'd themselves to Baal-Peor Sacrifice of the dead they eat 29 Thus they provoked him to wrath Their vile-inventions were so great 30 Then did the plague upon them break But Phinehas stood up to slay And execute Judgment on some And so the wasting Plague did stay 31 This so pleas'd God that he to him Imputed it for righteousness And all his generations For this he promised to bless 32 And at the waters where they strove God into just displeasure brake So that even Moses felt his part And was rebuked for their sake 33 Because their provocations great His patient spirit so much stirr'd That he in passion with his lips Did speak an unadvised word 34 Nor as the Lord commanded them Did they the wicked Nations slay 35 But with the heathen mingled were And learnt their wicked works and way 36 And they the heathen's Idols serv'd Which were to them a deadly snare 37 By them their sons and daughters then To Devils sacrificed were 38 In their own Childrens guiltless blood Their guilty hands they did embrew Whom unto Canaan's Idols they For bloody Sacrifices slew So was the land defil'd with blood 39 And they with their own sinful way And with their own inventions thus From God a whoring went astray 40 Therefore against his people then God's wrath was justly kindled more So that his own inheritance He loathed and did it abhor 41 He gave them to the heathen's power Their wicked foes did them command 42 Their enemies them oppress'd who were Before subjected to their hand 43 Many times he deliver'd them But they again provok'd him so By their own Counsels and their crimes That they were brought exceeding low 44 Yet he regarded their distress And heard when they to him did cry 45 His ancient Covenant also he For them did call to memory And he repenting pity'd them After his mercies manifold 46 And made them pityed be of those Who did them as their Captives hold 47 Save us O Lord and gather us The wicked heathens from among To give thanks to thy holy name And praise thee with triumphing song 48 Blest be Jehovah Israel's God Henceforth to all eternity Let all the people joyntly say Amen Praise ye the Lord most high PSALM CVII 1 GIve thanks to God for he is good His mercies everlasting be 2 Let God's redeemed ones say so Whom from their foes hands he set free 3 And gathered them out of the lands From North and South from East and West 4 In pathless desart wandred they And found no City where to rest 5 Hungry and thirsty their souls saint When want and streights do them oppress 6 They in their trouble cry to God He saves them out of their distress 7 He led them forth by the right way And in the desart did them guide That they might to a City go Where quietly they might abide 8 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 9 He satisfies the longing soul The hungry soul with good is fill'd 10 Such as in darkness and death's shade Do sit in painful Irons held 11 Because against the words of God They often sin'd rebelliously And the just Counsels did contemn Of him that 's over all most high 12 Their hearts with labour he brought down And they from man no help could have 13 They in their trouble cry'd to God From their distress he did them save 14 From darkness and the shade of death He in compassion did them take And their afflicting Captive bonds In pity he asunder brake 15 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 16 For the enthralling gates of brass In pieces he for them did tear And by his hands the Iron bands Asunder also broken were 17 Fools for their own transgressions And for their sins afflicted are 18 Their soul abhors all sorts of meat They to the gates of death draw near 19 They in their trouble cry to God From their distress he doth them save 20 He sent his Word and healed them From danger he deliverance gave 21 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 22 And let them sacrifice to him The sacrifice of thankfulness And his great works declare to all And with singing their joy express 23 They that in ships go to the Sea And in great waters business do 24 These see the dreadful works of God And in the deep his wonders view 25 He doth but give out his Command And powerful stormy winds do rise Which makes the Sea in waves to rage And to mount up toward the skies 26 Passengers toss'd up as to heav'n And to the deep cast down again Their troubled Soul in them doth melt While fear doth keep their hearts in pain 27 They reel and stagger to and fro Tost about like to drunken men And in this their distress and fear All their own wit doth fail them then 28 They in their trouble cry to God And he from their distress them saves 29 He makes the storm become a calm And presently doth still the waves 30 Then they with gladness do rejoice Because their danger seemeth past And unto their desired port He safely bringeth
