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.

Weary and faint my soule bemoanes Her vaine and fruitlesse groanes My bed the mark of sorrow weares Each night bedew'd with teares 7. My sight is dimme my melting eye Clouded with misery I languish through my haters rage Into untimely age 8.

O Lord my God in thee I trust Deliver mee from the unjust 2. Least Lyon-like my soule he teare Whilst none is for my reskue neare 3. Lord if this guilt upon me stands Or wickednesse be in my hands 4. If friend I ill rewarded have Or causelesse foe I did not save 5. Then let mine enemy pursue Let him my captive soule subdue Let him my life to earth down thrust And lay mine honour in the dust 6. O Lord in thy fierce wrath arise Take vengeance on mine enemies 7. The people then shall me come nigh For their sakes lift thy selfe on high 8.

For God the heart and reines doth try Preserves men of integrity 11. God doth in right his judgements lay Yet is provoked every day 12. If he not turne His sword is whet His bow is bent and ready set 13. The instruments of death He brings And arrowes from His quiver

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.

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.

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.

When wicked men mine enemies Conspiring did against me rise When they approach'd my flesh to eat They stumbling fell in their retreat 3. Although an host encamped were My heart their numbers shall not feare And though a War against me rise My confidence shall them despise 4. One thing of God I have desir'd That I unto His House retir'd Might spend my dayes there grow old His Temples beauty to behold 5. For He when times of trouble threat Will me in his Pavilion seat Within His Tabernacle hide And safety on a rock provide 6. And now my head up-lifted shall Behold my foes encircling fall Therefore glad Songs and sacrifice With praises to Thy throne shall rise 7. Heare O my Lord and when I cry In mercy to my voyce reply 8. When Thou command'st Seek ye my face My heart O Lord I seek Thee saies 9. Hide not Thy face from me in ire Nor leave me helplesse I desire 10. Who when my Parents me forsake Wilt me unto Thy favour take 11. Teach me O Lord Thy wayes to tread In pathes of truth and plainnesse lead 12. Nor leave me to their cruell will

XXXIII 1. YEe righteous in the Lord delight For praise becomes th'upright 2. Let Harpe and Psaltery's consent The ten-string'd instrument 3. New Songs record unto the voyce With their melodious noise 4. For just Gods promise is to you And all His workes are true 5. He righteousnesse and judgment wills All earth his goodnesse fills 6. The Heav'ns bright host and all beneath He formed with His breath 7. He doth the waters of the deep Heap'd in His store-house keep 8. Let men and all which earth doth beare Of Him then stand in feare 9. He spake and at His free commands The world unmoved stands 10. Mens counsailes and devises wrought The Lord will bring to nought 11. Yet through all ages His decree And thoughts unchanged be 12. Blest is the People He protects And for His Lot elects 13.

O fear the Lord yee Saints of His For such no blessings misse 10. Young Lions often lacking prey With hunger pine away But those that seek His Covenant No good thing ever want 11. Come children hearken to my speech I you His feare will teach 12. What man is he long life doth crave Or happy dayes would have 13. Keep thou thy tongue from wicked wile Thy lips from speaking guile 14. Depart from ill in good encrease Pursue and seek for peace 15. For on the just God casts His eyes His eares admit their cryes 16. Against the bad He sets his face To cut them from their place 17. The righteous cry and God attends In trouble safety sends 18. He doth in broken hearts delight And saveth soules contrite 19. Great troubles on the righteous fall But He releives in all 20. He keeps the number of each bone Nor broken shall be one 21. Transgressors their own mischeifs slay And with just vengeance pay All such as doe the righteous hate Shall soone be desolate 22.

The shield for my Protection weare Draw out Thy all-subduing speare Stop Thou my persecutors way Soule I am thy salvation say 4. Let them drove back with shame retire Who to procure my hurt conspire 5. Like chaffe before the Whirlwinds blast Let them be by God's Angell chas'd 6. Darke be their way their steps untrue And let His Angel them pursue 7. For without cause they hid their snare And for my soule did pits prepare 8. But let themselves surprised all In their contriv'd destruction fall 9. My soule in God shall joyfull be 10. My bones all say who 's like to Thee Who keep'st the poor from suff'ring wrong And help'st the needy 'gainst the strong 11. False witnesse did against me rise And things unknowne to me devise 12. For good they me reward with ill To spoile my soule and life to spill 13. Yet when they lay in sicknesse cast I did for them both pray and fast 14. As for my friend or brother borne Or for my Mother did I mourne 15. But of my trouble glad they joyn'd Yea abjects in my scorne combin'd 16. The mocking hypocrites at feasts By flowting me delight the guests 17. How long wilt Thou looke on O Lord Nor reskue to my soule afford O save me from destructions jawes My darling from the Lions pawes 18. Then in the great assembly I Will thanks and praises multiply 19. Let not insulting foes despise Or wink upon me with their eyes 20. They speake not peace but practise strife Disturbing those of quiet life 21. Their mouth 'gainst me they opened wide Ha ha our eye hath seene it cry'd 22. O Lord Thou their despight dost see Nor silence keep nor absent be 23. Stirre up Thy selfe to judgment wake My cause to Thy protection take 24. O judge me in Thy truth least they 25. With joy We have him swallow'd say 26. But let confounding shame them cloath Who love my hurt my quiet loath 27.

How doth Thy love excell Thy wing Man-kind ore-shadowing 8. Thy house to them full plenty brings Who drinke of Thy pure springs 9. Thou hast lifes springs and in Thy sight We shall behold the light 10. Thy kindnesse Lord and grace impart To the upright in heart 11. Let not the foot of pride prevaile Nor wicked hands assaile 12.

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
correct Rebuking his neglect Thou mak'st his beauty soone consume Like to the wandring fume Sicknesse destroyes him as a moath Corrodes and frets the cloath So vaine is man and quickly gone Into corruption 12. Lord heare my cry let not thine eares Be deaf unto my teares For I with Thee a stranger am And but to sojourne came 13. O spare my time a little length Till I recover strength Before I goe from this worlds shore And shall be seene no more PSAL. XL. Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. I Patient did for God attend Who to my cry His eare did lend 2. From horror's pit He did me pluck And miry clay wherein I stuck And on the rock He set my feet From whence my goings nere should fleet 3. My mouth new songs of praises fill That men may feare and trust Him still 4. The man most happy is and blest Whose constant faith on God doth rest And never will the proud ones prize Nor such as turne aside to lies 5. Lord many are Thy wonders wrought And loving towards us is Thy thought If I would speak and them declare They more then can be numbred are 6. No sacrifice Thou did'st desire Nor sinâ— oblation burnt in fire Thou pierc'd and open'd hast mine eare To shew what gifts more pleasing were 7. Then said I Lo I come Of old The volume of the booke foretold 8. Lord I to do Thy will delight Yea in my heart Thy Law I write 9. Thy righteousnesse my lips did teach Thy truth in great assemblies preach 10. Thy word I hid not or conceal'd But unto men Thy love reveal'd 11. Thy tender mercies nere remove But still preserve me in Thy love 12. For more in number then my haires My sin-prest soule is vext with cares 13. Be pleas'd to save and keep me fast O Lord to give me help make hast 14. Let them confounded be with shame Who at my soules destruction aime Let them repulsed backe retire Who wish my fall or hurt desire 15. Let them be sham'd and desolate Who Fy upon thee say in hate 16. Let all that seek Thy glorious Name Their joyes and comforts loud proclaime Let all who Thy salvation love Say alwayes Prais'd be God above 17. Though poore and needy I am brought Thou not exclud'st me from Thy thought Thou my redeemer art stay My God! O make no long delay PSAL. XLI Sing this as the Prayer after the Commandements 1.

Am only free and numbered Like those who in the grave forgot By thee cut off corrupt and rot 6. Thou in the lowest pit ha'st layd And darkest deeps my covring made 7. I am hard pressed by Thy wrath And every wave afflicted hath 8. Thou mine acquaintance hast remov'd And sever'd me from those I lov'd Their friendship turned is to hate My life shut up and desolate 9. My weeping eye doth daily mourne My hands stretch'd out my hopes forlorne 10. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead To praise Thee rais'd and wakened 11. Shall the devouring grave declare How true thy promis'd mercies are 12. Or shall the dark Thy wonders see The land where all forgotten be 13. To Thee O Lord my cryes are sent My prayer shall the morne prevent 14. O why do'st Thou my soul reject And hid'st from me Thy blest aspect 15. Afflicted and in misery I almost ready am to dy From youth to age in lifes each act Thy suffer'd terrours me distract 16. Thy wrath quite over me doth go Thine indignation strikes me so 17. They like the raging floods abound Or swelling waters me surround 18. My friends and all my lovers are By Thee from my
fill 22. They may His name and praise declare When all the people gather'd are 23. He hath my strength to weaknes brought My Short'ned dayes are come to nought 24. So that to God I thus did pray O take me not as yet away Nor cast me off from this lifes stage In prime of youth and mid'st of age For though My dayes be few and fraile Thy yeares O God will never faile 25. Thou Lord hast earth's foundation lay'd And by Thy hand the Heav'ns were made They all shall perish and decay And in their time consume away Like to a garment when grow'n old They shall nor use nor motion hold But though the world and they must fall Thy Being is perpetuall 27.

Who thee redeem'd to death cast downe And doth thy life with mercies crowne 5. Who with good things shall fill thy mouth And eagle-like renew thy youth 6. He by right judgment hath redrest All such as are by wrong opprest 7. His wayes have know'n to Moses been The Israelites His works have seen 8. All which His will and nature shew To mercy swift to vengeance slow 9. He will not alwayes with us chide Nor let His anger long abide 10. Nor deales according to our sin Nor have our crimes rewarded bin 11. For high as Heav'n is earth above So large so boundless is his love 12. Removing all our sins as far As East and West divided are 13. Yea like a Father 's to his Son To us is his compassion 14 He knowes our frame too weak to trust Remembring that we are but dust 15. The daies of man like to the grass Or fading flow'r to nothing pass 16. Which blow'n and shaken by the wind Leave neither place nor print behind 17.

At Thy rebuke the waters fled And hid their thunder-frighted head 8. They from the mountaines streaming flow And downe into the Vallies go Then to their liquid center hast Where their collected floods are cast 9. These in the Ocean met and joyn'd Thou hast within a bank confin'd Not suff'ring them to pass their bound Least earth by their excess be drown'd 10. He from the hills his Christall springs Down running to the vallies brings 11. Which drink supply and coolnes yield To thirsting beasts throughout the field 12. By them the fowles of heaven rest And singing in their branches nest 13. He waters from his clouds the Hills The teeming earth with plenty fills 14. He grass for Cattle doth produce And every Herbe for humane use That so He may His creatures feed And from the earth supply their need 15. He makes the clusters of the vine To glad the Sons of men with wine He oyle to cheere the face imparts And bread the strength'ner of their hearts Second Part. 16. The trees which God for fruit decreed Nor sap nor moyst'ning vertue need The lofty Cedars by His hand In Lebanon emplanted stand 17. Unto the birds these shelter yield And Storks upon the fir-trees build 18. Wild goats the hills defend and feed And in the Rocks the Conies breed 19. He made the changing Moone appeare To note the seasons of the yeare The Sun from Him his strength doth get And knows the measure of his Set. 20. Thou mak'st the darkness of the night When beasts creep forth that shunn'd the light 21. Young Lions roaring after prey From God their hunger must allay 22.

And for a Law His sacred pact To Iacob did enact 11. In which He vow'd that Israel
In Canaans Land should dwell 12. When they in number weak and few Nor place nor people knew 13. When they much time in travailes spent Through divers Nations went 14. All those that wrong'd them He remov'd And Kings for them reprov'd 15. To whom He said by His command That none should them withstand 'Gainst mine Anointed lift no arme Nor do my Prophets harme 16. A famine through the land He spread Which brake their staffe of bread 17. Yet He by Ioseph had decreed He would His people feed 18. Whose feet when into bondage sold They did in fetters hold 19. Till God ordained his release And gave his triall ease 20. The King sent from Captivitie To loose and set him free 21. He made him all His house command Cheife Ruler of the Land 22.

They most prodigious wonders shew'd And signes in Hams aboad 28. Where darkness blacker then their nights In midst of noone affrights The foggs and vapours Him obey By putting out the day 29. Fish in their waters turn'd to blood Were smother'd in the Flood 30. Now Egypt frogs abundant brings In chambers of their Kings 31. He spake and swarmes of Flies arise Their coasts are fill'd with Lice 32. For raine He haile and tempest powres And flames of fire for showres With storme their Vines and Fig-trees shook Through all their land were broke 34. Locusts and caterpillers bred Not to be numbered 35. All herbs and fruits that could be found Devoured on the ground 36. Their first-borne He through Egypt slew Their chiefest strength orethrew 37.

Thy works in Egypt they forgot Thy mercies there remembred not But at the Sea did Him provoke 8. Who yet their safety not forsook 9. The Red Sea he rebuk'd and dry'd Whose waters wall'd them on each side And through its depths uncovered As safe as through the desart led 10. Sav'd them from foes that did pursue 11. All which the waters overthrew 12. Then they beleev'd and praises gave 13. Though soon forgat who them did save 14. They lusted in the wildernes And God by their temptations press 15.

Then at the waters where they strove They did againe His anger move Where it so ill with Moses went He suffer'd in their punishment 33.

Yet sav'd as oft their sins renew'd 44 But hearing their afflicted Cry He pitty'd their calamity 45.

NOw Israel This truth may gladly tell But that the Lord Did help to us afford 2 If He our side With strength had not supply'd When banding foes Against our safety rose 3. Their kindled ire Had swallow'd us like fire 4. The angry flood Had then above us stood Who by the streame Quite overwhelm'd had been 5. And swelling waves Become our timeless graves Whil'st ore our soule The billowes proudly rowle 6. Blest be His aid Who us their prey not made 7.

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

O God Thou art my God to Thee My thoughts addressed be And early as the rising day I will before Thee pray My thirsting soule and longing flesh Beg Thou wilt them refresh In that dry land where fruits nere grow Nor streams of water flow 2. That in Thy Sanctuary I May see Thy Majesty And Thy bright glory may behold As I had seen of old 3. Thy loving kindnesse better is Then life or earthly blisse My lips shall therefore praises give 4. And blesse Thee whilst I live Thus unto Thee whose Name is fear'd My hands shall be up-reard 5. My soule is as with marrow cloy'd When thus my mouth 's employ'd 6. I Thee remember on my bed With crosses wearied And in the watches of the night Thy goodnesse I recite 7. Under the shadow of Thy wing To Thee my Help I sing 8. My soule on Thee alone depends Whose Right hand me defends 9. But those that would my Soule enslave Shall sinke into the grave 10. The killing sword their lives shall slay Or make them foxes prey 11.

They both contrive and practise ill Most diligent to kill Which in their heart concealed deep Their thoughts in secret keep 7. But God shall with a suddaine dart Wound their malitious heart 8.
