Therefore Thy pow'rfull Name O Lord Succession shall record 14. Thy iudgments are on sinners bent But tow'rds Thine owne relent 15. The Gods in Heathen Temples sought Are gold and silver wrought 16.

Thou hear'st each whisper from my tongue And ere 't was utter'd knew'st it long 5 By Thee I fashion'd am and made Thy hand each part in order lay'd 6. Yet can I not the knowledge gaine How I this being did attaine Which doth in wonder so excell 'T is easier to admire then tell 7. How shall I from Thy spirit fly Or Thy all present pow'r deny 8. If I climbe Heav'n 't is Thine own Shere If stoop to Hell lo Thou art there 9. If borne upon the mornings wing Far as the Sea doth swell or spring 10. Thy Right hand shall protect and lead Where ere my weary footsteps tread 11. If I pretend the darknes shall Upon me like a cov'ring fall Those heavy fogs those mists of night Will quickly cleare and turne to light 12. The thickest shade or blackest cloud Can nothing from thy knowledg shrow'd For darkness doth like Noon-tide shine Light'ned by brighter beams of Thine 13. My reines are Thine Thou mad'st the womb My bodies cloathing to become 14. I will give thanks to Thee O Lord Who was enlived by Thy word With awfull art and wond'rous forme Thou did'st Thy workmanship adorne My soule Their marvels must confess And for Thy favours daily bless 15. Though I was fashion'd in the dark Too secretly for man to mark There is no curious joynt or bone But was to Thy inspection know'n 16.

Soon as man breathless doth remaine He turnes to earth againe And as his time of life expires So perish his desires 5. O therefore happy he whose faith On God relyance hath Who makes the fear of Him his scope And object of his hope 6.

To God the Lord so good so great Your thankfull hymnes repeat And to the Harpes melodious string His constant praises sing 8. Who heavens face with vapour shrowds And covers it with clouds Who powres his raine on earth below And makes the Mountaines grow 9. He gives his food unto the beast And from their airy nest When the young ravens to Him cry Feeds Them abundantly 10. He not delights in strength of horse Nor values humane force 11. But those who make His feare their scope And in His mercy hope 12. Ierusalem O praise the Lord Sion Thy God record 13. Who barres thy gates to give thee rest And hath thy children blest 14. He maketh in thy borders peace Fills thee with cornes increase 15. His wing'd commands most swiftly run And soon as said are done 16. He giveth like the wooll his snowes Hoare frost like ashes strowes 17. Casts forth his Ice like morsells roll'd Who can withstand His cold 18. He sendeth out His word and Law Which melts them to a thaw He causeth His strong wind to blow And makes the waters flow 19.

My house shall never give receit To him that works deceit Nor shall he tarry in my sight Who doth in lyes delight 8. All those in wickedness that joy I early will destroy And from the City of the Lord Cut all whom He abhorr'd PSAL. CII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. HEare me O Lord and let my cry To Thy bright throne ascend on high 2. Hide not Thy face in time of need But answer my request with speed 3. For all my daies away consume Like to the smoak or rising fume My bones like fired brands became Burnt up scorch'd in sorrowes flame 4. My heart like grass is withered And I forget to eat my bread 5. I wast and pine in daily groanes That scarse my flesh cleaves to my bones 6. Like Pelicans remov'd from sight Or Owles in desarts shunning light 7. As sparrowes their lost mates bemoane So do I watch and fit alone 8. I with reproach all day am torne Of enemies against me sworne 9. I ashes eat instead of bread And drink the tears my sorrows shed 10. Which mischeifs from thy wrath are grow'n Since thou who rais'd hast cast me down 11. Thus like the dark declining shade Or dying flow'r I hourely fade 12. Yet thou O Lord dost still endure From times successive change secure 13. Thou therefore shalt in mercy rise And Sion help which ruin'd lies The time is come for hir repaire 14. Whose stones and rubbish prized are Thy servants pity hir neglect And on hir dust with sighs reflect 15. So shall the Heathen feare Thy Name And Kings Thy Majesty proclaime 16. When God shall Sions buildings reare And in His glory shall appeare 17. He will regard the poor man's suit And not despise the destitute 18. This shall be written for record That after Times may praise the Lord. Second Part. 19. The Lord from high His beams display'd And out of Heaven earth survay'd 20. The Captives fetters to unty And Pris'ners save condemn'd to dy 21. That so in Sions blessed hill And Salem which His wonders
offer'd be My gratitude and pray'r shall rise Like thankfull sacrifice 18. The vowes shall be which I have made Before the people pay'd 19. Who in Thy house and sacred Courts To praise Thy Name resorts PSAL. CXVII 1. O All ye Nations record The Praises of the Lord Ye people through the Universe Your Makers praise rehearse 2.

I call'd upon Him when distrest Who me enlarged and releast 6 The Lord Himselfe is on my side I fearlesse mans attempts abide 7 He takes their part who succour me I shall my haters ruin'd see 8. 'T is bettet in the Lord to trust Than leane on man who is but dust 9. Better rely on His defense Then put in Princes confidence 10. All Nations me encompass'd round But His great Name shall them confound 11. They closely set against me came But I destroy'd them in His Name 12. Like bees they thick about me swarm'd Yet through His Name I was unharm'd As kindled Thorns which blazing dy They quenched in their ashes ly 13. Though pressing foes my fall assay'd The Lord Himself became may aid 14. God is my health my strength my song 15. Lowd joyes the Righteous are among 16. For God's Right hand 's lift up on high His Right hand acts most valiantly 17. I shall not dy but live to praise And speake His wonders all my daies 18. Although the Lord me chast'ned sore He unto death not gave me ore 19. Open His sacred Gates that I With praise the Lord may glorify 20. This is the Gate through which the just And righteous Persons enter must 21. Thee wil I thank who heard'st my voice And mak'st me in Thy help rejoyce 22. That stone the builders from them lay'd The Head is of the Corner made 23. This is Gods act which in our eyes Religious wonder multiplies 24. This is the day the Lord hath made We will rejoyce in it be glad 25. Save now and prosper we intreat O Lord who art as good as great 26. He blessed be comes in His Name We blessings from God's house proclaime 27. God is the Lord whose light hath shin'd Pure Off'rings to His Altar bind 28. Thou art my God I Thee will praise And in my Song Thine honour raise O thank the goodnesse of our God Whose mercy knowes no period PSAL. CXIX ALEPH. 1.
