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 know Alteration though for the Better is scarse welcome to People by Custome and long Prescription habited in their First formes that of S. Augustine being often true Ipsa mutatio consuetudinis quae adjuvat Utilitate Novitate perturbat The profit doth not recompense to Them the trouble and disorder of the Change I have therefore by tying my self to the old Meter and old Tunes endeavoured to prevent that disturbance which the Alteration might bring whose difference in this Version will not be much discerned when the Congregation perfect in their antient Tunes may with as much ease repeat every verse read before They sing according to the practise as They did the Old Wherein I shall desire my aime may be rightly understood which was to render Them rather with perspicuity and plainesse for the vulgar use then Elegance For this the disadvantage of the Measure of All others least gracefull wherein most of the Psalmes run allowes not especially when by designe I deny my selfe the liberty of those words and Phrases which either suit not the Gravity of the Subject or capacity of the Meanest To this end I have so closely followed the New Translation of the Psalms in our Church Bibles that He who is able to read the one may perceive the Reason of the Text neither lost nor abused in the Rhime Both which without much Vn evennesse or force are brought to an easy and familiar agreement Indeed where the Place is obscure and the Construction difficult I take leave by paraphrase to give the Meaning which is a method of times observed by the Sepiuagint whose Version Moralizeth in the Greek what was wrapp'd up in figures by the Hebrew As to instance in one for all in Psalme 84. verse 6.

They shall abundantly profess Thy goodness and Thy righteousness 8. Whose grace and full compassions flow To mercy swift to anger slow 9. God's goodness every where extends His mercy all His works transcends 10. All things O Lord Thou did'st create And Saints Thy praise shall celebrate 11. Their tongues Thy Kingdom 's rule make know'n By them Thy glorious acts are show'n 12. That all the Sons of men may see Thy mighty pow'r and Majestie 13. Thy Kingdom doth for ever last When men decay and time is past 14. God doth uphold all such as fall And men cast downe from ruin call 15. The eyes of all on Thee attend Who in due season meat do'st send 16. Thy open hand when need requires Doth satisfie their just desires 17. The Lord is right in all His waies In Holiness His works He layes 18. The Lord is good and nigh to all Who faithfully upon Him call 19. He their desire will satisfie Who feare Him and regard their cry 20. Saves all that love Him from annoy But all the wicked will destroy 21.

TTo God my soule His praises give And bless Him whil'st I live 2. I will to Him my thankes up send Untill my being end 3. Put not in Princes any trust Nor in the Sons of dust Who nor themselves nor others save From the devouring grave 4. Soon as man breathless doth remaine He turnes to earth againe And as his time of life expires So perish his desires 5. O therefore happy he whose faith On God relyance hath Who makes the fear of Him his scope And object of his hope 6. He Heav'n and earth and Sea did frame With all that Those containe And when their frame is quite defac't His truth shall ever last 7. He doth the wronged help to right Who are opprest by might Feeds those that are to want expos'd And hath the Captives loos'd 8. He to the blind restores their eyes He makes the fall'n to rise He upon such bestowes his care Who just and faithfull are 9.

God ruin'd Salem doth repaire Whose out-casts gather'd are 3. He heales and binds the broken heart Relieves the wounded's smart 4. The sparkling Starres He numbers all And by their names doth call 5. Great is our Lord and strong His might His Wisdome infinite 6. He doth the meek exalt and crowne But cast's the wicked downe 7. To God the Lord so good so great Your thankfull hymnes repeat And to the Harpes melodious string His constant praises sing 8. Who heavens face with vapour shrowds And covers it with clouds Who powres his raine on earth below And makes the Mountaines grow 9. He gives his food unto the beast And from their airy nest When the young ravens to Him cry Feeds Them abundantly 10. He not delights in strength of horse Nor values humane force 11. But those who make His feare their scope And in His mercy hope 12. Ierusalem O praise the Lord Sion Thy God record 13. Who barres thy gates to give thee rest And hath thy children blest 14. He maketh in thy borders peace Fills thee with cornes increase 15. His wing'd commands most swiftly run And soon as said are done 16. He giveth like the wooll his snowes Hoare frost like ashes strowes 17. Casts forth his Ice like morsells roll'd Who can withstand His cold 18. He sendeth out His word and Law Which melts them to a thaw He causeth His strong wind to blow And makes the waters flow 19. His word He doth to Iacob shew Makes him His judgment know And to his chosen Israel He doth His Statutes tell 20. He with no Nation so did deale Nor thus His Love reveale Who nor His judgments knew nor word Therefore Praise ye the Lord. PSAL. CXLVIII To the proper Tune 1.
