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 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.

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. But brought His People forth with wealth Not one decay'd in health 38. Egypt was glad and quit of feare When They departed were 39. Whose guide by day the cloud became And in the night a Flame 40. On quailes His longing people fed From Heav'n He gave them bread 41. He from the rock made waters flow Springs in dry places grow 42. To Abraham His promise made He in remembrance had 43.

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.

For which earth open'd to devour Abiram's Troops and Dathan's pow'r 18. Then kindled was a furious fire Which burnt up those that did conspire 19. Their hands a Calfe in Horeb made And to the Molten Image pray'd 20. His glory thus who them releast Was now converted to a beast 21. And Egypts wonders the Red Sea 22. Or Land of Ham forgotten be 23. Then God He would destroy them said Till Moses intercession made Who in the deadly breach did stand To turn away His vengfull hand 24. His promis'd Land they now despise 25. And murmurs in their tents arise 26. That in the Desart He decreed 27. To scatter them and all their seed Second Part. 28. To Baal Peor joyn'd they fed On sacrifices to the dead 29. Still their inventions Him provoke For which the Plague upon them broke 30. Then Phinchas aveng'd th' offence And staid the mortall pestilence 31. Which all successions held a seale Of righteousnes and holy zeale 32. 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. Because his spirit meek and mild Provoked was whilst they revil'd And discontented for their sake Some unadvised language spake 34. The sinfull Nations of the Land They not destroy'd at Gods command 35. But learn'd their rites with heathens mixt 36. Ensnar'd while on their Idols fixt 37. As gifts to Divels offered Their Sonnes and daughters blood they shed 38. Whose guiltless lives to Idols slaine Did all the Land of Canaan staine 39. Thus they defil'd a whoring went In impious works themselves invent 40. Therefore the Lords enkindled rage Abhorred His own heritage 41. He gave Them up to Heathen pow'rs Their haters made Their conquerours 42. Opprest they were by foes subdu'd 43. Yet sav'd as oft their sins renew'd 44 But hearing their afflicted Cry He pitty'd their calamity 45. He most compassionate and kind His Covenant recall'd to mind And in his mercy did repent The sharpnes of their punishment 46. He made ev'n those with pity look Who Them before had captives took 47. Save us O Lord our God! protect And from the Heathen us collect To thank thy Name through all our daies And triumph in Thy mercies praise 48.

The longing soul He satiates still The hungry doth with goodness fill 10. Who sit in darkness and death's shade In iron and affliction lay'd 11. Because 'gainst God they did rebell And from His words

Mouths have they yet they speechlesse be And they have eyes but cannot see 6. They ears possesse which nothing heare And noses not for smelling beare 7. Their hands not touch their feet not walk Nor through their throat resounds their talk 8. Who make them are as vaine as they And so are all that to them pray 9. 10. O Israel O Aarons line 11. O yee that in His feare combine Trust ye in God who is your shield Protection He and help doth yield 12. He mindfull still of our redresse Will Israel and Aaron blesse 13. Who feare Him small or great are blest 14. And in their race shall be encreast 15. You are the blessed of the Lord Who heaven fram'd and earth hath stor'd 16. He in the Heav'n of Heavens lives But earth unto mans children gives 17. The dead Thy praises cannot shew Nor those who downe to silence go 18. But we the Lord through all our daies Will blesse The Lord for ever praise PSAL. CXVI 1. I Love the Lord and am well pleas'd He hath me heard and eas'd 2. Whilst therefore life continue shall I will upon Him call 3. The snares of death about me dwelt And paines of Hell I felt Disturbed thoughts and heavinesse My conscience did oppress 4. Then to the Lord my plaint I made And thus unto Him said O Lord my soule from falling save And lift me from the grave 5. The Lord is gracious and just To those His mercy trust 6. His Hand the simple doth protect When crosses them deject 7. Turne then my soule unto thy rest God's favours have thee blest He bountifully doth reward And thee from dangers guard 8. Thou keep'st my soule from death's pale feares My drooping eyes from teares And did'st my wand'ring steps recall When I was apt to fall 9. My feet before the Lord shall stand In His eternall land 10. I therefore pray'd and thus believ'd Yet still my heart was griev'd For in my foes successe I fail'd Till faith at last prevail'd 11. Then I all men for Lyars knew And God alone for true 12. What retribution shall I give To him by whom I live Or what acknowledgment apply For His benignity 13. Salvations sacred Cup I 'le take And humble prayers make 14. Before His people shall be pay'd The vowes which I have made 15. For those that live like Saints upright And in the Lord delight Are living dear unto His eye And pretious when they dy 16. Lord I Thy faithfull servant am And still adore Thy Name Thou loosed hast my heavy yoak My bonds in sunder broke 17. Therefore my praises unto Thee Shall daily
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.

Great is the Lord prais'd and admir'd His greatness is by none exquir'd 4. Each generation shall declare How mighty His atchievements are 5. I will Thy glory celebrate Thy wond'rous works Majestick State 6. Thy acts of terrour and of fame All men shall speak and I proclaime 7. They shall abundantly profess Thy goodness and Thy righteousness 8. Whose grace and full compassions flow To mercy swift to anger slow 9. God's goodness every where extends His mercy all His works transcends 10. All things O Lord Thou did'st create And Saints Thy praise shall celebrate 11. Their tongues Thy Kingdom 's rule make know'n By them Thy glorious acts are show'n 12. That all the Sons of men may see Thy mighty pow'r and Majestie 13. Thy Kingdom doth for ever last When men decay and time is past 14. God doth uphold all such as fall And men cast downe from ruin call 15. The eyes of all on Thee attend Who in due season meat do'st send 16. Thy open hand when need requires Doth satisfie their just desires 17. The Lord is right in all His waies In Holiness His works He layes 18. The Lord is good and nigh to all Who faithfully upon Him call 19. He their desire will satisfie Who feare Him and regard their cry 20. Saves all that love Him from annoy But all the wicked will destroy 21. Therefore my mouth to speake His praise Shall lowd and thankfull accents raise And let all flesh whom He did frame For ever bless His Holy Name PSAL. CXLVI 1. TTo God my soule His praises give And bless Him whil'st I live 2. I will to Him my thankes up send Untill my being end 3. Put not in Princes any trust Nor in the Sons of dust Who nor themselves nor others save From the devouring grave 4. 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. He Heav'n and earth and Sea did frame With all that Those containe And when their frame is quite defac't His truth shall ever last 7. He doth the wronged help to right Who are opprest by might Feeds those that are to want expos'd And hath the Captives loos'd 8. He to the blind restores their eyes He makes the fall'n to rise He upon such bestowes his care Who just and faithfull are 9. The Lord all strangers doth receive And fatherless releive When wicked men are overthrowne And all their hopes cast downe 10. The Lord thy God O Sion reignes His glory still remaines Then to thy everlasting King Eternall praises sing PSAL. CXLVII 1. PRaise ye the Lord a pleasant thing It is His praise to sing 2. God ruin'd Salem doth repaire Whose out-casts gather'd are 3. He heales and binds the broken heart Relieves the wounded's smart 4. The sparkling Starres He numbers all And by their names doth call 5. Great is our Lord and strong His might His Wisdome infinite 6. He doth the meek exalt and crowne But cast's the wicked downe 7. 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. His word He doth to Iacob shew Makes him His judgment know And to his chosen Israel He doth His Statutes tell 20. He with no Nation so did deale Nor thus His Love reveale Who nor His judgments knew nor word Therefore Praise ye the Lord. PSAL. CXLVIII To the proper Tune 1.
