represse God whose word is siluer tride And in seuen fires puri fide Lord performe as thou hast said Saue and keep thine heritage Help the poore so much dismaid From this lewd and sinfull age Which base men doth highest raise And to vice giues vertues praise Psalme 13. LOrd how long wilt thou delay Shall I neuer comfort find Can thine endlesse grace decay Or thy kindnesse proue vnkind Why then hidest thou thy face Carelesse of my care and griefe Why withholdest thou thy grace And deniest me due reliefe Shall my fruitlesse counsels still Thus torment my troubled sprite Shall my foes triumph at will While thy terros me affright Heare O Lord behold my plight Speedy help of thee I craue Light my dim decayed sight That I sleep not in the graue Lest my foes with proud disdaine Boast as if they did preuaile Ioying in my saddest paine When my feeble steps doe faile But I ioy and hope alwayes On thy grace and sauing health And my heart shall sing thee praise Th' only worker of my wealth Psalme 23. HOw can I lacke what may content My boundlesse greedy heart Sith thou O Al-sufficient My carefull shepheard art When I on tender grasse haue fed Thou foldst me safe and sure And when I thirst thou doest me lead To streames Chrystalline pure Thou doest my wandring soule reclaime When from thee I doe stray And thou my steps euen for thy name Doest guide in righteous way Were I to passe through shade of death No danger would I feare Thy rod thy crooke me comforteth Thy help is alwayes neere Thou hast a plenteous table spred For me before my foe With pretious balme thou dew'st my head My bowle doth ouer flow And while I liue thy bounteous grace Shall neuer me forsake But euer in thy dwelling place Will I my dwelling make Psalme 119. Beth. HOw shall a young man prone to ill Clense his vnruly and vnbridled way If that he learne to know thy will And from thy sacred lawes goe not astray Thee haue I sought with perfect heart In whom doth rest my full content O let me neuer from thee part Nor erre from thy commandement Thy words deep in my heart are bid That from thy precepts I may neuer swerue O gracious Lord as thou hast bid Teach me thy Precepts euer to obserue Thy righteous iudgements and thy wayes which of thy grace to me thou doest bewray My lips created for thy praise Shall neuer cease to publish night nor day My hearts desire and whole delight Vpon thy statutes fixed are No worldly treasure in my sight May with thy precepts once compare As on the lodestar of my life So on thy lawes my stedfast eyes are set And in my thoughts they are so rise That I thy precepts neuer can forget Psalme 125. THey whose hopes are mounted high Rais'd with wings of faith and loue Stormie tempest thundring skie Trembling earth can neuer moue They though hell against them band Stedfast like Mount Sion stand As about Ierusalem Mighty hils aduanced are So doth God inuiron them That on him rely their care He from danger doth protect And secure his Saints elect Though a while fierce tyrants prey On Christs flocke with furious rage Their proud scepter shall not sway Alwayes on his heritage Lest forlorne and in contempt Sinfull counsels they attempt Lord let them thy bounty tast That are pure and poore in sprite Whose wrie steps writ paths haue trac't Range them with the hypocrite That the chaffe purg'd from the graine Israel may in peace remaine Psalme 130. OVt of the deep O Lord to thee I crie Giue eare and heare the voice of my complaint If thou seuerely marke iniquity Who can be cleere and free from sinfull taint But mercy Lord with thee remaines in store That men may feare thee and thy name adore On thee I wait and on thy righteous word More then the morning watch for dawning day Let Israel likewise trust in the Lord With him redemption and much grace doth sway And though his sins in number passe the sand He shall redeeme him with his mighty hand Psalme 131. LOrd thou know'st who hast me tride That my heart swels not with pride I looke not high nor doe I stretch My thoughts too far beyond my reach Haue I not like weaned child Euermore beene meeke and mild Yea sure I haue my selfe demean'd Like infant from his mother wean'd Israel doe thou likewise Learne in meeke and humble guise Like babe new weaned from the brest Still on thy God thy hopes to rest Psalme 133. O Come behold what thing it is How good how sweet how full of blisse When discords and dissensions cease And brethren loue and liue in peace Much like the pretious oyle that 's shed Vpon the high Priests sacred head Which dewes his beard and thence doth raigne Downe on his holy vestments traine Much like the pleasant morning dewes Which Hermons fertile top renewes Or that which fals on Sions hill And doth her horne with plenty fill O blessed they that can agree To dwell in peace and vnity For there the Lord giues euermore Both happy life and plenteous store FINIS
