My fleeting times are in Thy hand Whose short-liv'd date by Thee is span'd Me never to the pow'r expose Or hand of persecuting foes 16. On me O let Thy favour shine To save me through Thy grace incline 17. Thy servant let no shame befall Who daily on Thy Name doth call Let wicked men confusion have Put downe to silence in the grave 18. And shut the lying lips that use The just by slanders to traduce 19. O how great goodnesse hast thou wrought For those thee fear whose faith thee sought 20. Them shalt Thou in Thy presence hide Kept safe from mens insulting pride And from the tongues malitious strife As in a tow'r defend their life 21. Blessed be God whose love endures Whose strong protectâ—â—n me secures 22. I said though in my hast unwise I am cut off before Thine eyes Yet hast Thou not my suit deny'd When in my Pray'r to Thee I cry'd 23 O Love the Lord who His regards And with revenge the proud rewards 24. Be bold since He such grace imparts To strengthen both your hopes hearts PSAL. XXXII 1.

Blest is the man to whom The Lord Imputes no crime abhord Whose spirit right whose heart is streight And harbours no deceit 3. When I my tongue from speech refrain'd I was with anguish pain'd My bones wax't old through discontent My dayes in moanes were spent 4. Thy hand upon me heavy lay Not resting night or day My Moisture was to nothing brought Like fields in Summers drought 5. Then I to Thee my sin reveal'd And no offence conceal'd And soon as my confession said My peace with Thee was made 6. For this to Thee shall prayer sound What time Thou may'st be found Nor shall the floods which highest goe Thy servants overflow 7. Thou art a refuge me to hide From dangers troubled
my paines My vexed spirit to Him complaines 4. My sleeples eyes Thou hold'st awake My tongue perplexed nothing spake 5. The daies of old I meditate The antient times expired date 6. I to remembrance call my Song My wonted mirth omitted long All night I commune with my heart My spirits search to ease my smart 7. Will God for ever us reject Nor by His favour us protect Is His compassion lost and gone His promises not thought upon 9. Hath God His pitty now forgot Or must destruction be our lot Or will His wrath by sin renew'd His tender mercies quite exclude 10. Thus I complain'd And then said I This is mine own infirmity But I remember will the yeares Thy right hand kept from want or feares 11. The wonders which Thou did'st of old Shall with my thankfull tongue be told 12. My heart Thy works Shall meditate My words Thy noble acts relate 13. Thy wayes O God! most holy are Who with Thy greatnes may compare 14. In miracles and wond'rous signes Thy strength among the People shines 15. Thou with that high victorious hand Not all the Nations could withstand The Sons of Iacob did'st redeeme And Iosephs off-spring wilt esteeme 16. O God the waters at Thy sight Unto their depths retir'd with fright The billowes of the troubled maine Shrunk downe and hid themselves againe 17. The melting cloud discharg'd in showres Like to a falling tempest powres Whilst sounds of horrour teare the sky And through the aire thine arrowes fly 18 Loud thunder from the heavens strook Thy lightnings shone earths fabrick shook 19.

HEare O my people and encline Your eare unto my Lawes divine 2. I will dark Parables unfold 3. Which we have heard from fathers told 4. We will not from succession hide His works in praises magnifi'd 5. Who gave a Law to Israel Which Parents must to Children tell 6. That generations yet unborne Might know their duty to performe 7. That they their hope in God may set And not His workes or Law forget 8. Nor like their fathers rebells prove With hearts unstedfast in His love 9. Like those revolters Ephraim bred Who armed from the battell fled 10. They Gods command and Pact refus'd 11. His works forgate and pow'r abus'd 12. When Egypts land and Zoans field Such marvailes to their sight did yield 13. For then divided He the deep The floods contracting to an heap 14. By day the Cloud their guide became At night He led them with a Flame 15. He Rocks in barren desarts clave Which drink like swelling rivers gave 16 He caus'd full streams from drought to grow And waters made like torrents flow 17. Yet they by sinning Him forsook And in the desart did provoke 18. They tempted God by asking meat Which they for lust not hunger eat 19. Yea thus against their God they spake Can He in desarts diet make 20. The Rock He did in streames divide But can He bread or flesh provide 21. When God heard this His just mov'd ire 'Gainst Iacob kindled like a fire 22. Because their God they faithles griev'd And His salvation not believ'd 23. Though his command the clouds had try'd The doores of heaven open'd wide 24. He rain'd downe Manna for their meat And gave them corne from heav'n to eat 25. Thus man with Angels food was fed For to the full He gave them bread 26. He caus'd the Eastern wind to blow And made the South His plenty throw 27. He flesh as dust upon them rain'd The fowles like heaps of Sand remain'd 28. They ' midst their Camp with food were cloy'd 29. And all they could desire enjoy'd 30. But whil'st Their mouth the meat in took 31. God's wrath their best choicest strook 32. For all this Israel sinned still His wonders slight neglect His will Second Part. 33. Therefore their daies they vainely spend And all their yeares in trouble end 34. Yet when He slew them then they sought And God to their remembrance brought They turn'd and from their sin retir'd And early after God enquir'd 35. Then God They for their Rock esteem'd Remembring He had them redeem'd 36. Yet with their flatt'ring mouth they ly'd 37. Their heart His Covenant deny'd 38. Though full of pitty He forgave Restrain'd His wrath and Them did save 39. For He remembred They were fraile Whose lusts above His Laws prevaile As passing winds so light and vaine Which breathing out nere come againe 40. Oft did they grieve Him oft rebell 41. Tempting the God of Israel 42. They thought not on His pow'rfull arme Which kept them safe from hostile harme 43. How He His signes in Egypt wrought His wonders over Zoan brought 44. And turn'd their rivers into blood They could not drink the crimsin flood 45. He sent strange flies which them annoy And frogs their plenty to destroy 46. Their fruits the Caterpillars eat And Locusts reap'd the ploughman's sweat 47. With haile their swelling vines were lost Their Sycamores destroy'd with frost 48. Their herds by tempest came to nought Their flocks the furious thunder smote 49 His fiercest wrath on them was spent Bad Angels were among them sent 50. Their soules not spared were from death Disease and plagues depriv'd their breath 51. The first borne He through Egypt slew The chief which Ham or Nilus knew 52. But He His people led like sheep And did His flock in desarts keep Third Part. 53. He brought them safe and free from fear When their pursuers drowned were 54. And to His Sanctuary led The Mount His hand had purchased 55. The Heathen He before them drave Their land by line to Iacob gave And made their tribes in tents to dwell 56. Who tempting God againe rebell 57. They like their fathers backward slide As bowes deceitfull turn'd aside 58. High places Him provoke and prove His jealousie their Idols move 59. When God heard this He waxed wroth And Israel did greatly loath 60. His Tabernacle He forsook And no delight in Shiloh took 61. Their strength He gave to captive bands His Glory to the Heathens hands He left His people to the sword His kindled wrath His Lot devour'd 63. Their young men were consum'd by fire Their maids in marriage none require 64. Their Priests were unto slaughter sent Nor did their widowes them lament 65. Then did the Lord from sleep awake From wine as Giants spirit take 66 Upon His flying foes He came And put them to perpetuall shame 67. He Ioseph's Tent did then refuse Nor would the Tribe of Ephraim chuse 68. But Iudahs Tribe He did elect Mount Sion which His thoughts affect 69. His Sanctuary high He plac't Like earth which stands for ever fast 70 His choyce did then on David looke And
reliefe put far And those who my acquaintance were Conceal'd or lost my sight forbear PSAL. LXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. MY Song thy mercies shall make know'n Thy truth to all succession 2.

The Lord to us doth safety bring Thy Holy one remaines our King 19. In visions Thou to Him hast said I on my chosen help have lay'd 20. I have my servant David found With Oyle annointed Him crown'd 21. Confirm'd and strength'ned by my arme I will protect his life from harme 22.

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 turn'st to dust the Sons of men Then say'st Returne to life agen 4. A thousand yeares in thy account But to a day with us amount Nor are extended in thy sight Beyond the watch of one short night 5. Our time runs on like rapid streams We vanish as forgotten dreams 6. Like grasse or morning flowres we spring Then wither in the evening 7. When Thou displeased art we wast And unto nothing come at last 8. 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. But who regards Thy heauy wrath Or of Thy feare true feeling hath Neither Thy judgements nor Thy love Can us unto repentance move 12. Lord so our dayes to number teach We may the end of wisedome reach And learne those errours to forget Which us in Thy displeasure set 13 Returne O Lord and now repent At our endured punishment How long wilt Thou thy help delay Or not remove our woes away 14.

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. 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.

Me to Thy Chosen's joyes aduance The bliss of Thine inheritance 6. Our sins with sorrow we confess Who like our Fathers still transgress 7. 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. Who was to their request attent Into their soules though Ieannes sent 16. They Moses in the Camp envy'd And Aaron's office vilify'd 17. 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.
