He barren makes a fruitfull ground For sins which in the Land abound 35. Then to a poole the desart brings And turns dry grounds to water springs 36. There He the hungry soules hath fill'd That they may live and Cities build 37. To plant the vine and sowe the field Which may hir fruits with plenty yield 38. He multiplies and gives them peace Their flocks not suff'ring to decrease 39. Againe they few when sinfull grow His punishments then brought them low 40.

The wrath which in their breasts did strive Had buried us alive Consuming both our Place and Name In their revenges flame 4. Our Life and what we most esteem Had perisht in this stream 5. And in the furious billowes womb Beheld our glories tomb 6. But let our God be alwayes prais'd Who thus from death us rais'd Nor made us subject to their pow'r Who sought us to devour 7. From danger resku'd is our soule Like some net-scaping fowle So broken is the bloody snare And we deliver'd are 8. Our present help and hopes of aid In God alone are lay'd 'T is He who made both Heav'n and earth That gave our comforts birth PSAL. CXXV 1. WHo God their hope and trust account Are like faire Sions Mount Whose head unmoved and unshook Abides the tempests stroak 2. As rising Mountaines Salem's fense By their circumference So God His people guards throughout And circles them about 3. The wicked shall not by their pow'r The righteous Lot devour Least they the heathens sins partake Who them their vassall make 4 Do good O Lord unto the just Who in Thy goodnes trust And those that are in heart upright Continue in Thy sight 5. But as for such who turn'd aside To crooked waies back-slide The Lord their judgments shall encrease But Iacob blesse with peace PSAL. CXXVI 1. WHen God did cast a gratious eye On Sions misery And did his captiv'd Peoples state To liberty translate This unexpected safety wrought On us such wonder brought Our freedome like a vision seem'd And we like them that dream'd 2. Joy fill'd our mouth triumphant Songs Did exercise our tongues That Heathens with amazement said God hath This gladness made 3. The Lord who crownes His servants faith Great things effected hath And makes us publish through the earth The causes of our mirth 4. Lord turne our bondage end our woe Let Thy full me cyes flow As waters from the fountaines mouth Or Rivers in the South 5. They who before in teares have sow'n And only sorrowes know'n Shall so their future hopes employ That they may reap in joy 6. He who good
seed in weeping beares And water'd with his teares Shall doubtless find return'd with gaine What here he sow'd in paine A blessed harvest shall ensue His comforts to renew Long joyes shall spring from his short grief And from each graine a sheaf PSAL. CXXVII Sing this as the Lords Prayer 1. EXcept the Lord the house sustaine The builders labour is in vaine Except the City He defend And to the dwellers safety send In vaine are Centinels prepar'd Or armed watchmen for the guard 2. You vainly with the early light Arise or sit up late at night To find support and dayly eat Your bread with sorrow earn'd and sweat When God who His beloved keepes This plenty gives with quiet sleepes 3. Lo children and the fruitfull womb Are blessings which from Heaven come 4. As arrowes in a strong mans hand So children are in youth obtain'd 5. Who hath his quiver full of those Shall never feare upbraiding foes PSAL. CXXVIII 1. BLessed is he who God doth fear And holds His precepts deare 2. Thou shalt have plenty in thy meat And of thy labours eat 3. Thy Wife shall like the loving vine Which doth thy walls entwine With fruits enrich thy dwelling place And multiply thy race Thy Children shall like branches shew Which from the Olive grow And round about thy table stand As blessings to thy land 4. These favours shall the man obtaine Whose hopes in God remaine 5. The Lord shall thee from Sion bless With all earthes happiness Thine eyes Hierusalem shall see Fill'd with prosperitie And whil'st thy dayes of life endure Hir gloryes shall be sure 6. Thou Childrens Children shalt behold Spring up when thou art old And added to thine own encrease See Israel in peace PSAL. CXXIX Sing this as Psalme 119. 1. OFt vext me from my Youth have they May Israel now say 2. Oft in my tender yeares assaild Yet have they not prevail'd 3. My back the plowers did invade And there long furrowes made 4. But God hath cut their wicked bands And sav'd me from their hands 5. Let them confounded back retire Who Sions hurt desire 6. Or prove like grasse on houses top Which withers e're growne up 7. Which hath no mower for it found Nor into sheaves is bound 8. And none that pass God speed you say Or wish you prosper may PSAL. CXXX 1. OUt from the Depths of misery O Lord to Thee I cry 2. Mark well my voice and let Thine eare My supplication heare 3. If Thou O Lord wilt be extreame And with thy searching beame Examine each transgression And errour we have done When we thus strictly shall be try'd Who may thy sentence bide Or who endure thy vengfull hand And in thy judgment stand 4. But there is Mercy Lord with Thee That Thou may'st feared be 5. Thy word and Promises are just Therefore in them I trust 6. On Thee alone my hope is plac't To Thee my Soule doth hast On Thee she waites to Thee she flyes Before the morning rise They that expect the morning light After the weary night Watch not so much the break of day As she for Thee doth stay 7. O Israel trust in the Lord Who pity doth afford For He more ready is to save Then we his help to crave With Him abundant mercy is To salve what 's done amiss 8. And Plentifull redemption found To cure each sinfull wound Another of the same paraphrased for an Antheme OUt of the horrour of the lowest Deep Where cares endlesse fears their station keep To thâ—e O Lord I send my woful cry O heare the accents of my misery If Thy enquiry Lord should be severe To mark all sins which have been acted here Who may abide or when they sifted are Stand un-condemned at Thy Judgments bar But there is mercy O my God with Thee That Thou by it may'st lou'd and feared be My Soule waites for the Lord in Him I trust Whose word is faithful whose promise just On him my longing thoughts are fixt as they Who wait the coÌ„forts of the rising day Yea more then those that watch the morning light Tir'd with the sorrowes of a rest-less night O Israel trust in that Gratious Lord Who plentifull remission doth afford And will His people who past pardon seeme By mercyes greater then their sins redeeme PSAL. CXXXI 1. O Lord I have no haughty mind Nor eyes to pride inclin'd To matters great I not aspire Nor things too high desire 2. But Iow in thought in action mild Like to a weaned Child So wean'd from all earth's vanities My soule on Thee relies 3. Let Israel make God their scope And in His goodnesse hope Untill both time and life shall end On Him alone depend PSAL. CXXXII 1. REmember David's trouble Lord His vow and oath record 2. How he in zeale and holy fear To Iacob's God did swear 3. I will not house my weary head Nor go into my bed 4. Nor shall my eyes with sleep opprest Acquainted be with rest 5. Untill a dwelling place I find Unto the Lord design'd And till I shall a Temple raise For the Almighty's praise 6. Lo we have heard in Ephrata Thy Arke did sometimes stay And found in open fields it stood Or shelt'red by the wood 7. But in His Tabernacle now Our knees wee 'l humbly bow We will before His foot stool fall And on His power call 8. Arise O Lord into Thy Rest Long with Thy presence blest And let Thy Arke be fixed here Whose strength the Nations feare 9. Thy Priests with holyness attire With joy Thy Saints inspire 10. Do not Thy love for Davids sake From Thine Annointed take 11. The Lord to David vowed hath Nor will He break His faith From thine owne loynes shall issue one To sit upon thy throne 12 And if thy Children will consent To my Commandement Their sons whil'st day and night remaine Successively shall Reigne 13. For I the Lord have Sion chose For my desir'd repose 14. Within this dwelling will I rest An everlasting guest 15. Hir stores with plenty shall be fed Hir poor reliev'd with bread 16. Hir Priests with blessing shall be deckt With gladness Hir Elect. 17. There shall the Horne of David spring In honour flourishing And like a Lamp his glorious light Shall still continue bright 18. His adversaries cloath'd with shame Shall lose both life and name But from his Sacred Head the Crowne Shall never be cast downe PSAL. CXXXIII 1. BEhold how pleasant 't is to see When brethren do agree Whose heaâ—ts as dwellings love unites And to accord invites 2 'T is like the pretious ointment shed On Aâ—rons sacred head Which did from face and beard descend And on his garment end 3. 'T is as the silver drops of dew Which Hermons top renew Or as the fuitfull raines distill Upon faire Sions Hill 4. The Lord on such agreement powres His loves unwasted showres And doth their habitations bless With endless happiness PSAL. CXXXIV Sing this as Psalme 51.
word try'd Doth as a shield the faithfull hide 31. Who can like Him a Saviour be Or who a Rock to us but He 32. T is God that girdeth me with might And keepes me in my wayes upright 33. My feet like Hind's He maketh swift And to high places doth me lift 34. T is He doth teach my hands to warre Steel bowes by them now broken are 35. Thou wast my shield Thy hand sustain'd I through Thy favour greatnesse gain'd 36. My feet enlarged have not fail'd 37. 'Gainst foes pursuit my hands prevail'd 38. Whose pride now quite confounded lies Wounded and fall'n no more to rise 39. Thou girdest me with strength for fight And hast subdu'd the rebells might 40. Their captive necks below me bend And in deserv'd destruction end 41. They cry'd for safety ' midst their feare But God nor help them would nor hear 42. Like dust blow'n up so did I beat And tread them downe in their retreat 43. From mutiny and peoples strife O Lord Thou resku'd hast my life My head ore Nations Thou dost crowne Those serve me whom I have not know'n 44. Soone as they heare they me obay And strangers stoop unto my sway 45. The aliens away shall fade And their close places leave dismai'd 46 Blest be my Rock who ever lives Exalt Him who Salvation gives 47. T is God whose vengeance doth pursue And people under me subdue 48. He saves me from mine enemies And lifts me up 'bove those that rise He is my reskue my defence From men of blood and violence 49. Therefore will I to Thee O Lord My thanks Eternally record Amongst the Heathen speake Thy fame And praises sing unto Thy Name 30. He great deliverance doth bring In love to His annointed King His mercies doth on David powre And on his seed for evermore PSAL. XIX 1. THe Heavens high declare the fame Of God who did them frame 2. One day another tels and night His wonders doth recite 3. They have no language yet they teach Without or tongue or speech 4. And through the earth their sound is gone To every Nation God in the Circle of those spheares A Tabernacle reares In which the swift unweary'd Sun His daily course may run 5. Who as a Bridegroome freshly deckt Doth on the world reflect And as a Giant strong in might Darts forth his piercing light 6. He breaking from the Easterne skies Doth from his Chambers rise And till his beames declining set Nothing can shun his heat 7. Gods Law is incorrupt and whole Converting every Soule His faithfull promise never dies And makes the simple wise 8. The Statutes of the Lord are right And drooping hearts delight Both pure and perfect His command Gives light to understand 9. Most unpolluted is His feare Eternall and sincere The judgments of the Lord are fixt With Truth and Justice mixt 10. More to be wish'd then golden mines When them the test refines And more then hony that distills The mouth with sweetnessefills 11. By These Thy servant warned is Oft as he goes amisse Which yeeld a plentifull reward To all that Them regard 12. Who knowes how often he offends How far his sin extends Lord cleanse my Soule from crimes conceal'd To none but Thee reveal'd 13. Keep me that no presumptuous staine May ore Thy Servant reigne Then shall I walke in innocence Free from the great offence 14. O Lord my only strength and tow'r Who sav'st me by Thy pow'r Let all my words and thoughts by Thee Heard and accepted be PSAL. XX. 1. THe Lord in thy afflictions day Give eare when thou dost pray The Name of Iacob's God defend On whom thy hopes depend 2. Help from His Sanctuary send And strength from Sion lend 3. Thy Gifts in His remembrance prize Accept thy sacrifice 4 May He who comforts doth inspire Grant thee thy heart's desire Make thee enjoy thy wishes still Thy counsailes all fulfill 5. With thankfull and triumphant voyce We in Thy help rejoyce And in Thy Name our banners reare Who wilt thy servants heare 6. Now know I God who power gave Doth His Annointed save He heares from Heav'n and His right hand Makes him in safety stand 7. Some in their armed Chariots force Some put their trust in horse But we remember will the Lord Whose Name doth strength afford 8. They are brought down and fall'n in war We rays'd in triumph are 9. O save us Lord great Heavens King Heare those requests we bring PSAL. XXI 1. THe King shall in Thy strength be glad Through Thee with safety clad 2. Thou gav'st him all his heart desir'd And what his lips requir'd 3. Thou didst no good from him withhold Crownd'st him with purest gold 4. He asked life and Thou didst give Him endlesse dayes to live 5. Great Majesty doth him invest Through Thy Salvation blest Thou giv'st him joy and lasting grace The favour of Thy face 7. The King on God his trust hath plac't Whose Mercy keeps Him fast 8. Thy right hand all Thy foes shall find Whose hate 'gainst Thee combin'd 9. Thy wrath shall those who Thee forsake A fiery Oven make The Lord shall swallow them in ire By His revenges fire 10. Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from earth Root out their childrens birth 11. For they 'gainst Thee did ill invent Though fayl'd in their intent 12. When at their face Thine arrowes aime They turn their back with shame 13. O Lord Thy strength and glory raise So we Thy pow'r will praise PSAL. XXII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. MY God My God upon me look O wherefore hast Thou me forsook Why help'st Thou not when I implore Nor hear'st when I through anguish roare 2 O God by day to Thee I cry But Thou Thy audience dost deny And in the night when I should sleep My sorrowes will not silence keep 3. But Thou in Holinesse dost dwell O Thou the praise of Israel 4. Our Fathers plac'd their trust in Thee And Thy deliverance set them free 5. They cry'd to Thee surpriz'd with feare And from Confusion saved were 6. But I a worme and no man am Reproach of men and peoples shame 7 Beholders Me their pastime make Shoot out their lip their head they shake 8. He trusted God that He would save See if from him he safety have 9. But Thou didst take me from the womb And ever since my hope become 10. On Thee when on the breast I hung And from the birth my care was flung 11. When trouble 's neare O be not far Since left to me no helpers are 12. For many bulls with bellowing sound Strong bulls of Bashan girt me round 13. They gape like Lions Me about 14. I am like water powred out My bones disjoynted torture crackes My heart within me melts like Waxe 15 My strength is like a Pot-sheard dry'd My tongue up to my Palate ty'd 16. Thou brought'st me down unto the grave For dogs my life encompast have Assemblies of the wicked meet They pierced have
So shalt thou dwelling have and food 4. Delight in Him and for thy hire He give thee will thy hearts desire 5. Commit thy selfe to his sole care By whom our actions crowned are 6. Thine innocence Hee 'l bring to light Cleare as the day or noon-tide bright 7. Rest then on Him nor 'gainst those fret Whose wicked projects prosper yet 8. And cease from wrath least anger may To greater evils thee betray 9. For wicked ones are cut away But good men long on earth shall stay 10. The Sinners vanish in short space Though sought thou shalt not find their place 11. Yet shall the meek unshaken stand Inheriting the promis'd land Their blessings here on earth encrease With plenty crown'd and lasting peace 12. Ill men with fury and despight By plots would circumvent th'upright 13. But God shall laugh and them defie Whose veng full day is comming nigh 14. Their sword is draw'n their bow is bent To slay the just is their intent 15. But by their sword themselves shall dy And all their bowes shall broken ly 16. A good mans lot though small is more Then wicked rich mens wealthy store 17. Destruction shall their armes enfold But God the righteous doth uphold 18. The Lord accounts the just mens age And will prolong their heritage 19. In evill times not sham'd nor griev'd In dayes of famine still reliev'd 20. But Gods enraged enemies Shall vanish as the Smoakes that rise Dissolv'd and melted into fume As doth the fat of Lambs consume 21. The wicked borrow but not pay The good both lend and give away 22. Such as be blest possesse the land The bad cut off and cursed stand Second Part. 23. A good mans steps God orders right Who doth in His commands delight 24. Though fallen he shall rise againe For God's right hand doth him sustaine 25. I have been young and now am old Yet never did my eyes behold The just forsaken or unfed Or see his children beg their bread 26. He mercy shewes and lends in need And ever blessed is his seed 27. Depart from evill and doe well That you with Him may ever dwell 28. God judgment loves His Saints not leaves But sinners of their race bereaves 29. The just His promis'd land possesse And dwell in endlesse Happinesse 30. In judgment and discourses wise A righteous mouth will exercise 31. Gods Law doth in his heart abide Nor shall his goings ever slide 32. Though wicked persons daily wait To shed his blood confederate 33. God lets him not condemned ly Or by a wrongfull sentence dy 34. Wait on the Lord and keep His way That He to life exalt thee may When thou the wicked men shalt see Cut off and quite extinguish'd be 35. I in great pow'r have ill ones seen Like spreading Lawrells fresh and green 36. Yet pass'd he by and soon was gone Not found againe nor thought upon 37. Marke the upright the just intend For such a man in peace shall end 38. But sinners to destruction cast Are in their death cut off at last 39. God to the righteous help doth raise He is their strength in troubled dayes His aid shall save them from th'unjust Because in Him they plant their trust PSAL. XXXVIII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. LOrd let me not in anger wast Nor Thy rebukes in fury tast 2. Thy piercing arrowes deeply wound Thy pressing hand doth me confound 3. My sickly body finds no ease Because my sinne doth Thee displease Nor will that guilt Thou dost detest Afford my troubled conscience rest 4. My sins like to a torrent grow'n My sinking head have overflow'n They burthen me with care and feare And are become too great to beare 5. My sores and wounds corrupted smell My foule offence and folly tell 6. Bow'd downe with trouble and forlorne By night I wake by day I mourne 7. My loynes diseas'd my flesh unsound And all my body seems one wound 8. I feeble am with anguish broake And roare beneath They heavy stroak 9. O Lord Thou know'st my whole desire My hidden groanes to Thee aspire 10. My heart doth pant my vigour dies Of light deprived are mine eyes 11. My friends who late professed love Far from my sore themselves remove My kindred my converses shun Nor come to comfort but look on 12. They who my life seek to ensnare Intent upon my mischiefes are With foule reproaches and false lies My ruin daily they devise 13. But I as those nor heare nor speake Did never into passion breake 14. No angry murmur from me fell Which might my griefes impatience tell 15. For I in Thee my trust repose To heare my moane and quell my foes 16. Who when my foot amisse did goe Triumphed at my overthrow 17. With woes opprest I daily fall My sorrowes are continuall And whilst my faults are in my view They do as oft my paine renew 18. I therefore will those sins confesse And with contrition beg redresse I will the guilt of my offence Wash off with teares of penitence 19. O Lord mine enemies are strong And live to do me further wrong Each day their number doth encrease Who are the haters of my peace 20. They also have against me stood Who make returnes of ill for good Yet know no cause for their despight But that I follow what is right 21. Therefore my sad request I make That Thou wilt never me forsake My God! O never far depart Who my releife and comfort art 22. My sighs and sorrowes look upon Thou God of my salvation Afford thy help in time of need And to my reskue come with speed PSAL. XXXIX 1. I Said my wayes I will intend And least my tongue offend My mouth shall bownd and bridled bee Whilst I the wicked see 2. I dumb awhile and silent stood Ev'n ceasing to speak good Untill at last my grieved heart Was urg'd with sorrowes smart 3. So that my heated breast became For lack of vent a flame And then my tongue these words exprest Breath'd forth from my disrest 4. Lord Let me understand my end How farr my dayes extend That I may know how I am fraile Each moment apt to faile 5. Behold Thou mad'st the dayes of man No longer then a span His age as nothing is and he At best but vanitie 6. Man like a shadow walkes in vaine Wasting his time with paine He heapes up riches yet not knowes What heire shall them dispose 7. And now O Lord on whom shall I Whilst I stay here rely Truly my hope shall wait on Thee My joyes there treasur'd be 8. Deliver me when I transgresse And help me in distresse Let not the foolish me deride Or scorne me in their pride 9. Under Thy scourge I silent lay Prepared to obay I did not murmur at my paine Or of Thy hand complaine 10. Yet now Thy mercies I invoke To take away Thy stroke For I consume and my faint breath Is yeelding up to death 11. When Thou for sin dost man
neighbours scorne Laugh'd at and with reproaches torne 14. We are a by-word all about The Heathen shake their head flowt 15. I ly confounded with disgrace And shame hath covered my face 16. By reason of their vengfull pride Who Thee blaspheme and me deride 17. All this we beare yet have we not Thy selfe or Covenant forgot 18. Our heart revolting turnes not back Nor do our feet Thy waies forsake 19. Though 'mongst the dragons broken sore And with death's shadow cover'd ore 20. If we our God forgotten have Or unto Idols worship gave 21. Shall not his search the sin impart Who knowes the secrets of each heart 22. Yea for Thy sake so ill we fare We all the day-long killed are Counted as sheep for shambles bred Fit only to be slaughtered 23. Awake O Lord why do'st Thou sleep Still wilt Thou us at distance keep 24. Why hidest Thou Thy face from those Who ly opprest and griev'd by foes 25. Our soule unto the dust is throw'n To earth our belly cleaveth downe 26. Arise our life from ruin take And save us for Thy mercies sake PSAL. XLV 1.

Thou fairer art then humane race Thy lips are full of grace Therefore thy God on thee doth powre His blessings endlesse store 3. Gird on thy sword O great in might For Truth and Justice fight 4. That all the world may understand The terrour of Thy hand 5. Thy sharp'ned arrowes wound all those Who dare the King oppose Whereby subdued at Thy call The vanquisht people fall 6. Thy throne O God doth still endure Thy Scepter just and pure 7. Thou righteousnesse do'st value best And wickednesse detest Therefore thy God hath Thee preferr'd And by a love unheard The oyle of gladnesse on Thy head Above Thy fellowes shed 8. Myrrhe Aloës and Cassia's smell Upon Thy garments dwell Out of the Ivory Palaces Provided Thee to please 9. King's daughters were amongst Thy traine Nor to attend disdaine The Queen upon Thy right hand plac'd With gold of Ophir grac'd 10. Hearken O Daughter and give eare Forget thy parents deare 11. The King shall prize thy beauty more Whom as thy Lord adore 12. Rich Tyre with gifts and presents great Thy favour shall entreat 13. Who far above Thy beauties seen All glorious art within 14. Shee in a robe with needles wrought Shall to the King be brought The Virgins which upon hir wait Shall add unto Thy State 15. With joy and gladnesse they resort To enter the Kings Court 16.

XLVI Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. GOd is our refuge our defence Rests wholly on His providence Which still affords a present aid When greatest troubles us invade 2. Therefore we shall not need to feare Though the fixt earth removed were Or though the hills and mountaines steep Lay buried in the angry Deep 3. Although the roaring waters make The Mountaines with their swelling shake 4. Yet calmer rivers do embrace Gods City His faire dwelling place 5. Whose Tabernacles by His love Are kept that they can never move For He when dangers Hir distresse His early succour shall addresse 6. The Nations rage the Kingdomes are Disturb'd with strife and threats of war But He the tempest can allay And cause the earth to melt away 7. The Lord of Hosts doth us direct Great Iacobs God doth us protect 8. Come see on those our mischeifs wrought What desolations He hath brought 9. He maketh strife and wars to cease And crowns the bleeding earth with peace He breaks the bow and crackes the speare In fire the Chariots burned were 10. Lo this is God whose awfull sway Both earth and Heaven must obey 11. The Lord of Hosts doth us direct Great Iacobs God doth us protect PSAL. XLVII 1.

Unto our God loud praises sing Sing praises to our King 7. To Him whose pow'r the earth doth fill With knowledge sing and skill 8. Who on His sacred throne remaines And ore the Heathen reignes 9.

Mount Sion beauteous is for site The spatious earth's delight Upon the sides which Northward rise The Great King's City lies 3. God in hir Palaces alone Is for a refuge know'n 4. For lo the Kings assembled were Hir glories downe to teare 5. They saw with marvail hir defense In trouble hasting thence 6. They were surpriz'd with sudden feare Like pangs which women beare 7. Thou break'st the Ships from Tarshish saile With Thy strong Easterne gale 8. In Salem unto God endear'd We saw what oft we heard The Lord of Hosts will hir defend And stablish to the end 9. Lord in Thy Temple to our thought We have Thy mercies brought 10. O God according to Thy Name So endlesse is Thy fame Thy hand is full of righteousnesse Let Sion joy expresse 11. Let Iudah's daughter gladly sing The judgments of their King 12. Walk round about faire Sions Mount Hir stately Tow'rs recount 13. Hir Bulwarks marke and structures well And to your Children tell 14. For here the Lord our God intends Till time expired ends His favours on This place to breath And guide us unto death PSAL. XLIX As Psalme 51. 1. ALl people of the world give eare 2. Low high rich poore togither heare 3. My mouth of wisedome shall dilate My heart deep knowledge meditate 4. To Parables I will encline Darke sayings on the harp divine 5. Why should my end affrightment feel When sin or death assault my heel 6. Who trust in wealth and riches boast 7. Cannot redeeme a brother lost Or bring back life when fled away Or unto God his ransome pay 8. The soule so pretious is no rate Can it recall or expiate 9. That so he might for ever last And not of earth's corruption tast 10. For he perceiveth that the wise Like to the foole and brutish dies And all the wealth which they have got Must then become anothers lot 11. Yet they suppose their dwelling place Shall last through each succeeding race And to their lands their names bequeath To keep them living after death 12. Man nerethelesse to honour brought Like beasts that perish comes to nought 13. Thus their vaine folly ends yet they Who them survive
talk Their tongue through earth doth walk 10. Therefore Gods people when they see How prosp'rous sinners be And vexed with their sorrowes sense Incline to their defense 11. So words like these their passion throwes How should we thinke God knowes 12. Who lets the wicked live in health And daily grow in wealth 13. Why vertue then should I retaine I cleanse my heart in vaine In vaine my hands held from offense I wash in innocence 14. For all the daies my life hath seen I have afflicted been My Soule with wants and sorrowes worne Was chast'ned every morne 15. Yet should I not these murmurs check But thus disturbed speak I might thy Children so offend And Thee blaspheming end Second Part. 16. But this I found by flesh and blood Hard to be understood 17. Nor till I to Thy Temple went Could know what these things meant Then I discern'd what they portend And how the wicked end 18. Whom Thou in slippery fortunes plac't Do'st unto ruin cast 19. How are their glories quick as thought To desolation brought They in a moment turn'd to teares Consume by their own feares 20. God as a dreame when one awakes Their Image vanish makes Causing their late admirers eyes Them now as much despise 21. Thus was my heart perplex'd with paines And anguish prick'd my reines 22. So foolish in my thoughts disrest Am I so like a beast 23. Yet I by Thee am still sustain'd Held up by Thy Right hand 24. Thy counsail here shall me direct Then crown with Thine Elect. 25. Whom have I in the heav'ns but Thee Who can my Saviour be And through the spatious earth I none Desire but Thee alone 26. My drooping heart doth daily faile My flesh corrupt and fraile But Thou the strength'ner of my heart And lasting portion art 27.

The carved workes whose art and cost Thy Temples building once did boast 6. Are into pitty'd ruin throw'n And with their hammers broken down 7. Thy Holy Place they turne to flame Defile the dwelling of Thy Name And in their wicked hearts designe Hir glories quite to undermine 8. With generall havock let us rase The Sanctuaries hallow'd place Gods Houses thus in ashes lay'd Are wofull heaps of rubbish made 9. We see no Signe nor Miracle No Prophet have who can foretell Not one hath knowledge to forecast How long these miseries shall last 10. O God! still shall the foe blaspheme And make Thy Name dishonours theme 11. Thy vengefull hand no longer hide But stretch it forth to strike their pride 12. For God is my all pow'rfull King From whom earths help safety spring 13. Thou did'st restraine the rising tide And with Thy strength the Sea divide Thou brak'st th' Aegyptian Dragons head And left'st him on the waters dead 14. Leviathan that sports the flood Thou gavest for Thy peoples food 15. Thou from the rock mad'st fountaines flow And swelling Seas dry land to grow 16. Thine is the day the Suns faire light Thine are the courses of the night 17. The borders which the earth confine Are set and bounded by Thy line The Summers heat and winters cold From Thee their yearly seasons hold 18 Remember Lord Thy House defil'd Thy Name by blasphemies revil'd 19 O give not up Thy Turtles life A spoile to adversaries strife Let not Thy Congregation mourne Reproach'd by Them of Thee forlorne 20. Look on the Covenant and see Earth dark'ned by their crueltie 21. Let not th' opprest returne with shame But let the needy praise Thy Name 22. Arise O God! maintaine Thy cause Thy Temples honour and Thy Lawes Remember their blaspheming noise Thine enemies insulting voice 23. Their insolence who Thee despise Doth still encrease and higher rise PSAL. LXXV 1. TO Thee O God with gratefull heart To Thee we thanks impart How neare and helpfull is Thy Name Thy wond'rous works proclaime 2. When I advanc'd to Judah's throne Shall rule the Nation In justice will I take delight And judge the peoples right 3. The earth with hir inhabitants Through feare dissolves and faints Yet of hir loose declining frame The Pillars I sustain 4. I said unto the foolish men Deale not so madly then And unto those Gods precepts scorne Exalt not you the horne 5. Lift not your selves against His check Nor speak with a stiffe neck 6. Promotion comes not from the east Nor South nor from the West 7. But God as Judge our fortune guides Our lot of life divides He one man lifts unto the Crowne And puts another downe 8. He holds a cup whose wine is red Full mixt and tempered For wicked ones the dreg and lee Wrong out to drink shall be 9. I will in Songs of praise declare The God of Iacobs care 10. The hornes of Pride cut off will I But lift the Just on high PSAL. LXXVI Sing this as the Prayer after the Commandements 1. IN Iudah God is know'n His Name The Israelites for Great proclaime 2. His Tabernacles Salem grace And Sion is His dwelling place 3. There He the Bow and arrowes broke And Battailes to confusion shooke The glittering sword the guarding shield Could not resist nor safety yield 4. Thou of more honour art then they Who rove upon the Hills of prey 5. For They whose pride did us embroile Are now themselves become a spoile A lasting sleep shuts up their eyes And all their strength in weaknes dyes 6. At Thy rebuke the barbed horse And armed Chariots loose their force 7. Thou Lord art fear'd who may withstand The fury of Thy pow'rfull hand 8. From Heaven we Thy Judgments heard The trembling earth was still and fear'd 9. When God the meek and humble saves But gives the proud untimely graves 10. He on their fall his fame doth raise And turnes their malice to His praise 11. Vow to the Lord your God and bring To Him your promis'd offering 12. He Princes spirits can restraine And Kings of earth with terrour chaine PSAL. LXXVII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. I Cry'd to God with accents shrill To God that heares my prayer still 2. When into times of trouble brought I unto Him for succour sought All night my anguish did not cease My soule no comfort found nor ease 3. I think on God amidst
my paines My vexed spirit to Him complaines 4. My sleeples eyes Thou hold'st awake My tongue perplexed nothing spake 5. The daies of old I meditate The antient times expired date 6. I to remembrance call my Song My wonted mirth omitted long All night I commune with my heart My spirits search to ease my smart 7. Will God for ever us reject Nor by His favour us protect Is His compassion lost and gone His promises not thought upon 9. Hath God His pitty now forgot Or must destruction be our lot Or will His wrath by sin renew'd His tender mercies quite exclude 10. Thus I complain'd And then said I This is mine own infirmity But I remember will the yeares Thy right hand kept from want or feares 11. The wonders which Thou did'st of old Shall with my thankfull tongue be told 12. My heart Thy works Shall meditate My words Thy noble acts relate 13. Thy wayes O God! most holy are Who with Thy greatnes may compare 14. In miracles and wond'rous signes Thy strength among the People shines 15. Thou with that high victorious hand Not all the Nations could withstand The Sons of Iacob did'st redeeme And Iosephs off-spring wilt esteeme 16. O God the waters at Thy sight Unto their depths retir'd with fright The billowes of the troubled maine Shrunk downe and hid themselves againe 17. The melting cloud discharg'd in showres Like to a falling tempest powres Whilst sounds of horrour teare the sky And through the aire thine arrowes fly 18 Loud thunder from the heavens strook Thy lightnings shone earths fabrick shook 19. In the great waters lyes Thy path Which where Thou go'st no footsteps hath 20. Thy people Thou like sheep ha'st led Sav'd from the Sea in deserts fed And brought'st them to their promis'd land By Moses and by Aarons hand PSAL. LXXVIII Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. HEare O my people and encline Your eare unto my Lawes divine 2. I will dark Parables unfold 3. Which we have heard from fathers told 4. We will not from succession hide His works in praises magnifi'd 5. Who gave a Law to Israel Which Parents must to Children tell 6. That generations yet unborne Might know their duty to performe 7. That they their hope in God may set And not His workes or Law forget 8. Nor like their fathers rebells prove With hearts unstedfast in His love 9. Like those revolters Ephraim bred Who armed from the battell fled 10. They Gods command and Pact refus'd 11. His works forgate and pow'r abus'd 12. When Egypts land and Zoans field Such marvailes to their sight did yield 13. For then divided He the deep The floods contracting to an heap 14. By day the Cloud their guide became At night He led them with a Flame 15. He Rocks in barren desarts clave Which drink like swelling rivers gave 16 He caus'd full streams from drought to grow And waters made like torrents flow 17. Yet they by sinning Him forsook And in the desart did provoke 18. They tempted God by asking meat Which they for lust not hunger eat 19. Yea thus against their God they spake Can He in desarts diet make 20. The Rock He did in streames divide But can He bread or flesh provide 21. When God heard this His just mov'd ire 'Gainst Iacob kindled like a fire 22. Because their God they faithles griev'd And His salvation not believ'd 23. Though his command the clouds had try'd The doores of heaven open'd wide 24. He rain'd downe Manna for their meat And gave them corne from heav'n to eat 25. Thus man with Angels food was fed For to the full He gave them bread 26. He caus'd the Eastern wind to blow And made the South His plenty throw 27. He flesh as dust upon them rain'd The fowles like heaps of Sand remain'd 28. They ' midst their Camp with food were cloy'd 29. And all they could desire enjoy'd 30. But whil'st Their mouth the meat in took 31. God's wrath their best choicest strook 32. For all this Israel sinned still His wonders slight neglect His will Second Part. 33. Therefore their daies they vainely spend And all their yeares in trouble end 34. Yet when He slew them then they sought And God to their remembrance brought They turn'd and from their sin retir'd And early after God enquir'd 35. Then God They for their Rock esteem'd Remembring He had them redeem'd 36. Yet with their flatt'ring mouth they ly'd 37. Their heart His Covenant deny'd 38. Though full of pitty He forgave Restrain'd His wrath and Them did save 39. For He remembred They were fraile Whose lusts above His Laws prevaile As passing winds so light and vaine Which breathing out nere come againe 40. Oft did they grieve Him oft rebell 41. Tempting the God of Israel 42. They thought not on His pow'rfull arme Which kept them safe from hostile harme 43. How He His signes in Egypt wrought His wonders over Zoan brought 44. And turn'd their rivers into blood They could not drink the crimsin flood 45. He sent strange flies which them annoy And frogs their plenty to destroy 46. Their fruits the Caterpillars eat And Locusts reap'd the ploughman's sweat 47. With haile their swelling vines were lost Their Sycamores destroy'd with frost 48. Their herds by tempest came to nought Their flocks the furious thunder smote 49 His fiercest wrath on them was spent Bad Angels were among them sent 50. Their soules not spared were from death Disease and plagues depriv'd their breath 51. The first borne He through Egypt slew The chief which Ham or Nilus knew 52. But He His people led like sheep And did His flock in desarts keep Third Part. 53. He brought them safe and free from fear When their pursuers drowned were 54. And to His Sanctuary led The Mount His hand had purchased 55. The Heathen He before them drave Their land by line to Iacob gave And made their tribes in tents to dwell 56. Who tempting God againe rebell 57. They like their fathers backward slide As bowes deceitfull turn'd aside 58. High places Him provoke and prove His jealousie their Idols move 59. When God heard this He waxed wroth And Israel did greatly loath 60. His Tabernacle He forsook And no delight in Shiloh took 61. Their strength He gave to captive bands His Glory to the Heathens hands He left His people to the sword His kindled wrath His Lot devour'd 63. Their young men were consum'd by fire Their maids in marriage none require 64. Their Priests were unto slaughter sent Nor did their widowes them lament 65. Then did the Lord from sleep awake From wine as Giants spirit take 66 Upon His flying foes He came And put them to perpetuall shame 67. He Ioseph's Tent did then refuse Nor would the Tribe of Ephraim chuse 68. But Iudahs Tribe He did elect Mount Sion which His thoughts affect 69. His Sanctuary high He plac't Like earth which stands for ever fast 70 His choyce did then on David looke And
reliefe put far And those who my acquaintance were Conceal'd or lost my sight forbear PSAL. LXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. MY Song thy mercies shall make know'n Thy truth to all succession 2.

The Lord to us doth safety bring Thy Holy one remaines our King 19. In visions Thou to Him hast said I on my chosen help have lay'd 20. I have my servant David found With Oyle annointed Him crown'd 21. Confirm'd and strength'ned by my arme I will protect his life from harme 22.

Thou voyd hast made the Cov'nant seal'd Profan'd his crowne his Rule repeal'd 40. His Bulwarks broke his senses torne 41. Make him his neighbour's spoyle scorne 42. Thou strength'ned ha'st his foes right hand That he in battail cannot stand 44. His sword wants edge His glory 's gone And to the earth cast down his throne 45. Thou short'ned hast his youth His fame Obscur'd and cover'd is with shame 46. Lord wilt Thou ever from us turne Or shall like fire thine anger burne 47. Remember yet how short my dayes How vaine man's life how soon decaies 48. What mortall lives who shall not dy And in the pit of silence ly 49.

Thou mark'st our deeds our sins of night Are alwayes open to thy sight Making the breach of thy pure Lawes Our death and swift destructions cause 9. From whence we suddenly waxe old Expiring like a tale that 's told 10. The common Age of mortall men Exceeds not Threescore yeares and ten And if to Fourscore they attaine Their life is but a length'ned paine Incessant sorrowes and disease Their faculties and vigour seize For soon cut off our dayes decay And suddenly we flie away 11.

Lord so our dayes to number teach We may the end of wisedome reach And learne those errours to forget Which us in Thy displeasure set 13 Returne O Lord and now repent At our endured punishment How long wilt Thou thy help delay Or not remove our woes away 14.
