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.

His chambers in the waters ly His Chariot is the cloudy storme And on the wings of wind is borne 4. He Spirits makes His Angels quire His Ministers a flaming fire 5. He so did earth's foundations cast It might remaine for ever fast 6. Then cloath'd it with the spatious deep Whose wave outswells the mountaines steep 7. 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. When the bright Sun casts forth his ray Down in their Dennes themselves they lay 23. Man's labour with the morne begun Continues till the day be done 24. O Lord what wonders hast thou made In providence and wisedome layd The earth is with Thy riches crown'd 25. And Seas where creatures most abound 26. There go the ships which swiftly fly There great Leviathan doth ly Who takes his pastime in the flood 27. All these do waite on Thee for food 28. Thy bounty is on them distill'd Who are by Thee with goodnes fill'd 29 But when thou hid'st Thy face they dy And to their dust returned ly 30. Thy spirit all with life endues The springing face of earth renewes 31. Gods glory ever shall endure Pleas'd in His works from change secure 32. Upon the earth He looketh downe Which shrinks trembles at His frowne His lightnings touch or thunders stroak Wil make the proudest mountains smoak 33 To Him my Ditties whil'st I live Or being have shall praises give 34 My Meditations will be sweet When fixt on Him my comforts meet 35.

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. The Lord his judgement shall dispence According to mine innocence 9. O let all wicked counsailes end But just men stablish and defend 10. 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
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.

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.

When languishing upon his bed By God he shall be strengthened By Thee when weak and lowest layd His bed is in his sicknesse made 4. I said my soule in mercy save For Lord 'gainst Thee I sinned have 5. My foes thus speak When shall he dy And loose both Name and Memory 6. Even those to see me who resort When gone traduce me in report 7. My haters whisper and devise To hurt me in their calumnies 8. Sick of a fowle disease he lies Say they and never more shall rise 9. Yea my near friend who eat my bread Lifts up his heel to spurne my head 10. Lord raise me from this wofull plight That I their malice may requite 11.

O God my soule cast downe with greife Within finds no releife But Jordans Land and Hermon hill I will remember still 7.

O send Thy Glorious beams of light Thy truth to keep me right That of Thy holy dwellings I May make discovery 4. Then will I to Thy altar bring A joyfull offering And on the harp my ditties raise To celebrate Thy praise 5.

Trust in the Lord for I will praise And thank Him all my dayes Who cures and crownes lifes short annoyes With never ending joyes PSAL. XLIV Sing this as the Lamentation 1. O God! our fathers have us told What Thou hast done in times of old 2. Thou drav'st out Nations by Thine hand To plant Thy people in their land 3. 'T was not their arme or sword which got Those faire possessions for their lot But thy right hand thine arme of might Because in them Thou took'st delight 4. O glorious God! Thou art my King Deliverance to Iacob bring 5. Through Thee we will our enemies And those tread downe who 'gainst us rise 6. For in my bow I will not trust 'T is not my sword deliver must 7. But Thou hast sav'd us by Thy Name And all that hate us put to shame 8. In God all day we make our boasts And praise Thy Name great Lord of hoasts 9. But Thou hast left and cast us low Nor with our Armies forth dost goe 10. Thou makest us our backs to turne Whilst they which hate us spoile burne 11. Thou gav'st us to the Heathens pow'r Like sheep to scatter and devoure 12. Thou do'st Thy People sell for nought Not richer when the price is brought 13. Thou makest us our
full river yields T' enrich the thirsty fields 10. The setled furrowes soft with showres Take in Thy blessings stores 11. Thou do'st the year with goodnes crowne Thy clouds drop fatnesse downe 12. The barren deserts shall abound The hills with joy resound 13. The flocks be full the pastures spring With corne the vallies sing PSAL. LXVI 1.

Say unto God how wond'rous are The works Thou dost prepare To Thee who in great pow'r do'st sit Shall all Thy foes submit 4. With Songs and adoration shall The earth before Thee fall 5. Come see His awfull works and might Shew'n in His children's sight 6. He turn'd the Sea into dry land Wher-on their foot did stand 7. He rules in pow'r His eye doth quell The Nations that rebell 8. O blesse our God so justly fear'd And cause His praise be heard 9. Who makes our soule in life abide Nor lets our feet to slide 10. Thou us O God hast prou'd try'd Like silver purify'd 11. Thou broughtest us into the snare Our loines afflicted are 12. Thou wicked men hast suffered To trample on our head We went through fire and water past Yet sav'dst Thou us at last 13. I will into thy Temple bring A thankfull Offering 14. The vow my lips in trouble made Devoutly shall be paid 15. I offer will burnt sacrifice Whilst clouds of Incense rise Rams Goats with Bullocks from the stall Shall at Thy Altar fall 16. O come and heare my words declare How large Gods favours are 17.

Sing unto God sing praises lowd To Him that rides upon the cloud The Name of great Iehovah blesse 5. A father of the fatherlesse For he relieves the widowes wants 6. He solitary housholds plants And frees the Captives from their chaine Whil'st rebels are with hunger slaine 7. When Lord Thy people Thou didst lead And marches through the desart tread 8. The Heavens melted the earth shook And Sinai was with terrour strook 9. Yet Thou upon thy Lot didst powre When faint and weary plenties store 10. Thy congregation Thou didst feed Reliev'dst the poore and help'dst their need 11. The Lord Himselfe did give the word And num'rous preachers it record 12. Kings armies fled and took the foyle Whilst women did divide the spoile 13. Though then ye have neglected ly'n Ye shall againe with lustre shine Like to the doves faire plumed wing As Gold or Silver glistering 14. When God great Kings had put to flight The land was like to Salmon white 15. God's Mount is as faire Bashans hill Whose height does earth with wonder fill 16. Why leap ye hills which so excell This is the hill where God will dwell 17. His Chariots twenty thousand are Thousands of Angels serve His war Second Part. 18 Thou ha'st ascended up on high And captive led captivity Did'st ransome those who did rebell That God might still among them dwell 19. Blest be the Lord the God of health Who loads us daily with His wealth 20 He is the God whose saving breath The issues doth command from death 21. But God shall wound their hatefull head Who wilfully in sins are led 22. He said I will my people keep From Bashan bring through the deep 23. That so Thy foot borne through the cries Of fall'n and dying enemies May dipped be in slaughters flood And tongues of dogs lick up their blood 24. How Thou my God King we know Didst in Thy Sanctuary go 25. Singers lead to the Instrument Then Damsels with their Timbrels went 26. Blesse God all yee from Iacob spring 27. Small Benjamin their Ruler bring With Princely Iudah on the Throne Strong Nepthali and Zebulen 28. Thy God for thee did strength command O let Thy work confirmed stand 29. Then presents shall by Kings to Thee In Salems Temple offer'd be 30. Rebuke the peoples brutish spight Those scatter who in war delight 31. So Egypts Princes and the Moore With hands stretch'd out shall thee adore 32. Earth's Kingdomes sing and praise ascribe To God who 'bove the Heavens doth ride His mighty voyce He out doth send 34.

Let none that seek or wait for Thee Through me confounded be 7. For Thy sake have I borne disgrace Shame cover'd hath my face 8. A stranger to my brethren am Who from my Mother came 9. I in Thy Houses zeale do pine Thy wrongs reputing mine 10. Yet when I fasted wept and mourn'd That my reproach was turn'd 11. For garments I have Sack-cloath worne A Proverb grow'n of scorne 12. Revil'd by those the gate that throng And made the drunkards song 13. But Lord to Thee my prayers climbe In

In all thy wayes they shall thee keep Whither thou wake or sleep And least a stone thy foot should hurt Their hands shall thee support 13. No Basilisk nor Adders sting Thy life in danger bring Thou shalt upon the Lion tread And bruise the Dragons head 14. Because his love is set on me I will his guardian be Since he acknowledg'd hath My name I will exalt his fame 15.

Take heed yee brutish and unwise Who thus your crimes disguise Yee foolish people of the land When will yee understand 9. Think ye that he who plants the eare Unable is to heare Or shall not he who form'd the eye Your wickednes descry 10. Shall he who Nations overthrew Not know to punish you 11.
