have left so many Psalms untranslated the other that I have taken at other times only some portions of Psalms and left out many Verses in those I have translated In Answer to both which I think it may suffice to return That in the choice I have made I considered and pitched upon those Psalms or portions of them which were most proper and of most general use to us Christians Such are Psalms of Thanksgiving or of Petition for mercies we all need or that instruct us in our Duty But I balked those whose aspect was upon Davids personal troubles or Israels particular condition or related to the Jewish and legal Oeconomy or are prophetical of the Nations they should subdue or respected their deliverances or such as refer not to us but by a more difficult Accommodation or where they express a temper not so sutable to the mild and gentle spirit of the Gospel such as our Saviour repressed in his Disciples not allowing imprecations of vengeance against our Enemies but rather praying for them especially when that prophetick spirit do's not now rest upon us that did upon David So also such Psalms as are of very Artificial contrivance in the Hebrew the Verses beginning with the several Letters of the Alphabet and the phrases with great Art varied tho' containing the same repeated sense which cannot be imitated so well in other Tongues many Verses in them are left out as among others in the 37th Psalm and especially in the 119th Psalm which therefore I have contracted into six parts I might also add that I have sometimes omitted a few Verses that preface to a Psalm If these reasons will be allowed me then I suppose there will be very little found either in whole Psalms or pieces of them that is not translated If this satisfie not I have only one thing further to offer which methinks may That I desire only that I may have the same favour that is granted to every Parish Clark who in setting the Psalms is not wont to run through them in order nor to appoint at all times a whole one to be sung but only such portions of them as are suitable to the occasion or to the time allotted not for this alone but for other services to be performed in the Congregation And if I had said no more I know not why I may not take liberty to pick and chuse portions of Psalms as well as he I have nothing more to add unless it be fit to mention that I have put very many of the Psalms into the Meter of the Hundred Psalm which measure as well as the Tune I judge to be the best we have but for those that may be of another mind I have complyed so far as to repeat the far greater number of such Psalms in the commoner Meter and that I know but of one only hard word that may trouble an ordinary Reader which he will find in the first line of the 127th Psalm viz. the word Architect which signifies a Master-Builder and I hope he will not meet with such another throughout the whole work IMPRIMATUR Nov. 21. 1678.
