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

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 them at last 31 O that all men would praise the Lord For the great goodness he hath shown And for

Richard Baxter Mr. Baxter's PARAPHRASE ON THE PSALMS PSALM I. To the Tune of Old 100. 1 Blest is the man who doth avoid The Counsel of ungodly mates Who stands not in the sinners way Nor sitteth in the scorners seats 2 But in the holy Law of God Doth choose and place his chief delight And with sincere obedient heart Meditates in it day and night 3 We shall be like the prosp'ring tree That planted by a rivers side In season yieldeth plenteous fruit Whose leaf doth always green abide 4 The Lord will prosper this mans work But the ungodly are not so But like rejected worthless chaff Which every wind drives to and fro 5 Therefore th' ungodly shall not stand But fall when judgment gives their doom Nor sinners in the righteous mens Blessed assembly ever come 6 Because the way of righteous men The Lord with approbation knows But the way of ungodly men To their own just destruction goes PSALM II. 1 WHy do the rebel Nations rage And People hatch a vain design 2 The Kings of Earth do set themselves And wicked Rulers do combine Against God and his Christ they say Let us cast off and break the bands 3 And cast away those cords his Laws Which tye up hearts and tongues and hands 4 But he whose Glory is in Heaven Their Rebel Counsels shall deride Their purposes the Lord will scorn Their boasting tongues he will divide 5 Then shall he speak in wrath to those His gentle yoak who could not bear His sore displeasure shall them vex When they this Divine Sentence hear 6 Yet have I set my chosen King On Sion's Sacred Hill to reign His Kingdom 's Glory I 'le declare And God's decree I will proclaim 7 The Lord Almighty uttered it And he himself thus said to me Thou art my Son and this same day Have I rais'd and begotten thee 8 Ask me and I 'le the Heathen give For thy enlarg'd Inheritance And to possess the utmost parts Of all the earth I 'le thee advance 9 The Rebels with an Iron rod Thou shalt bruise and asunder shake Like brittle earthen vessels them Thou shalt dash and in pieces break 10 Be wise now O ye mortal Kings Learn all ye Judges of the earth 11 Serve God with true Religious fear Joyn awful trembling with your mirth 12 Now kiss the Son left in his wrath You die and perish from the way If once his anger kindled be Then all who trust him blest are they PSALM III. 1 LOrd how are they increas'd That are mine enemies Many there be that trouble me And do against me rise 2 Many say of my soul He hath no help in God 3 But thou my shield and glory art And liftest up my head 4 I with my mournful voice Unto the Lord did cry And he out of his holy place Did hear me graciously 5 I laid me down and slept I wak'd and rose again For it is God in whom I trust That doth me still sustain 6 And though ten thousand foes Were round about me laid While God is for me and my help Why should I be afraid 7 Arise and save me Lord My God the Cheek-bone strake Of all my foes and wicked mens Devouring teeth did break 8 To save his chosen doth Belong to God alone Thy blessing shall for evermore Thy people rest upon PSALM IV. 1 O Hear me when to thee I call God of my help and righteousness Have mercy on me hear my prayer Thou sav'dst me in my great distress 2 O sons of men how long will ye The great God's glory vilifie How long will ye love vanity And seek and trust a flatt'ring lie 3 But know that God doth for himself The Godly choose and set apart The Lord will hear when I to him Do call in faith with fervent heart 4 Fear God therefore Take heed of sin Use to consider with your hearts In secret silence of the night In bed when sleep from you departs 5 Offer to God the sacrifice Of Love and sincere righteousness And then put all your trust in him To save and help you in distress 6 Deceived men enquire for good But where to find it cannot tell Lord let the glory of thy face Shine forth on us and we are well 7 Thy Love and Grace into my heart Hath put more joy and solid peace Then all their wealth will them afford When Corn and Wine do most increase 8 I will both lay me down in peace And hope for quiet rest and sleep Trusting alone that thou Lord wilt Me and my dwelling safely keep PSALM V. 1 GIve ear unto my words O Lord My doleful meditation weigh 2 And hear my voice my King my God For unto thee I cry and pray 3 At Morning thou shalt hear my voice My Morning Prayer I 'le direct To thee O Lord and looking up Thy gracious answer will expect 4 For thou the Holy God dost not In any wickedness delight Neither shall evil dwell with thee 5 Or wicked fools stand in thy sight 6 Thou hatest wicked workers all And Lyars all thou wilt subvert The Lord abhorreth men of blood And the deceitful tongue and heart 7 In thine abundant mercies I Will in thy sacred house appear And tow'rd thy holy temple I Will worship thee in holy fear 8 Lead me Lord in thy righteousness Before my watchful envious foe Before my face do thou make strait The way wherein I ought to go 9 Their mouth no credit doth deserve Their inward part is wickedness Their throat is like an open grave Their tongues do flattering lies express 10 By their own Counsels let them fall Destroy them Lord and them expel In their abundant sins for they Against thee madly did rebel 11 Let all rejoyce and shout for joy Who firmly put their trust in thee For them thou keepest Let them that love Thy Holy Name still joyful be 12 For thou Lord wilt the righteous bless And with thy special favour own Thou as a shield wilt him defend And with thy loving kindness crown PSALM VI. 1 LOrd in thy wrath rebuke me not I earnestly do thee desire Though my great sin do it deserve Correct me not in burning ire 2 Lord pity me a feeble wretch Whom sin and dolour weakned hath O heal my pained
Princes Zebulon And with them also Naphtali's 28 Thy God commands thy strength O God Confirm what thou for us hast wrought 29 For thy house at Jerusalem King's Presents shall to thee be brought 30 Spear-men and people rude rebuke Till all of them submissive are And tribute pay scatter thou them That do delight in strife and war 31 Princes shall then submit to thee And hither come from Egypt lands And Ethiopia to God Shall soon stretch out her subject hands 32 Sing unto God adoring praise O all ye people of the earth Sing praises to the Lord our God With reverence and holy mirth 33 To him that on the heaven of heavens Which was of old doth ride rejoyce His voice he sendeth all abroad It is a mighty dreadful voice 34 Ascribe ye power unto God Who reigns on high o're Israel And his great strength and excellence Doth in the heav'ns in glory dwell 35 Dreadful out of his holy place Is Israel's God who doth afford Unto his people strength and pow'r Blessed therefore be God our Lord. PSALM LXIX 1 SAve me O God for rising floods Unto my fearful soul are come 2 I sink in deep unstable mire Deep waters have me overflown 3 I of my crying weary am My voice is hoarse my throat is dry'd My eyes also do fall while I Do waiting for my God abide 4 More than my hairs of head they be Who causeless hatred to me bear And my injurious enemies That would destroy me mighty are Then I restored that to them Which never taken was by me 5 O God thou know'st my foolishness And my sins are not hid from thee 6 Let not them for my sake be sham'd O Lord of Hosts that wait on thee Nor those that seek thee Israel's God For my own cause confounded be 7 For thy sake I have born reproach And shame hath covered my face 8 I to my brethren strange am grown An Alien to my mother's race 9 Because the zeal did eat me up Which to thy sacred house I bear And the reproaches cast on thee Upon me fallen for thy cause are 10 When I in tears with fasting lay This to my own reproach was turn'd A Proverb to them I became 11 When I in sackcloth cloathed mourn'd 12 The great men that sit in the gate Spake of me all the ill they think And I was made the song of them That are the drinkers of strong drink 13 But Lord in an accepted time My Prayer I send up to thee Lord in thy mercies multitude And in thy saving truth hear me 14 Deliver me out of the mire And me from sinking in it keep Save me from them that do me hate And out of all these waters deep 15 Let not the floods me overflow Nor let the deeps up swallow me And let not the pit's mouth below Upon me buryed closed be 16 Hear me O Lord for thy sure love And kindness is exceeding good Turn thou to me according to Thy tender mercies multitude 17 From thy servant hide not thy face In this my trouble soon attend 18 Draw nigh my soul and it redeem And from mine enemies me defend 19 To thee is my reproach well known My shame and my causeless disgrace My adversaries and their ways Are open all before thy face 20 Reproach hath broke my heart and grief Abounds in me I lookt for some To pity me but there was none True comforters I found not one 21 They gave me also bitter gall For food which they would have me eat They gave me vinegar to drink In scorn when as my thirst was great 22 Let their own Table be their snare Do thou to them in justice make Their welfare and posterity Become a trap themselves to take 23 And let their eyes so darkened be That pleasant light do them forsake And let their weakned Ioyns by thee Be made continually to shake 24 Thy dreadful indignation Pour out upon these wicked men And let thy hot displeasure and Thy heavy wrath take hold on them 25 And let their stately palaces Be left as desolate within Their tents without inhabitants Where these ill men have dwellers bin 26 Because him whom thou didst correct Yet they have persecuted more They talk unto the grief of those Whom thou didst strike and wound before 27 Add thou deserved punishment Unto their hainous wilful sin And to thy saying righteousness Let them not have admission in 28 Out of the book of living men Let them by death be blotted quite And with the just that blessed are Do not their names number and write 29 But I am poor and sorrowful Because of my adversity But let thy saving grace O Lord Yet raise and set me up on high 30 The Name of God I with a song Will praise and honour joyfully And with thanksgiving for his grace The Lord's name I will magnifie 31 This also shall a sacrifice More acceptable to him be Than Bull or Ox with hoof and horns If they were offered by me 32 The meek and humble shall be glad And greatly joy when this they see Your hearts shall live that seek the Lord And ever comfortable be 33 Because the Lord doth hear the poor When they to him do cry and pray And doth not neglect or despise Those that for him in prison lay 34 Let the high heav'ns and spacious earth Unto Jehovah praises give The Ocean deep and every thing Which therein doth but creep and live 35 For God will surely Sion save And Judah's Cities again build That men may them possess and dwell In houses plentifully fill'd 36 And they that are his servants seed Shall be possessors of the same And they shall

thy own Command My rock and fortress thou wilt be 4 From wicked unjust cruel men Do thou my God deliver me 5 For upon thee
