my lowest state To thee I lift mine eye Whose glorious dwelling is above Even in the heavens high 2 As servants eyes do look Unto their Master's hands And as a maiden doth expect Her Mistresses Commands So on the Lord our God Our eyes do still attend Until to our relief and help His mercy condescend 3 Have mercy on us Lord On us thy mercy show For we are filled with contempt From the insulting foe 4 Our souls fill'd with the scorn Of those that are at ease Are overwhelm'd with the contempt Of the proud foes of peace PSALM CXXIV 1 HAd not the Lord been on our side His Israel must now confess 2 Had not the Lord been on our side When men of blood sought our distress 3 Then they had swallow'd us alive When their hot wrath against us flam'd 4 The waters of their furious rage Over our sinking souls had stream'd 5 Then had these proud insulting waves O'rewhelm'd us with their cruel Laws 6 Blest be the Lord who made us not A prey unto their greedy jaws 7 Our soul like an entangled bird Escap'd out of the Fowler 's snare The snare our pow'rful Lord hath broke Our trembling souls escaped are 8 Our only help we find doth stand In the great name of our great Lord Whose power made the glorious heav'ns The earth and all things by his word PSALM CXXV 1 THey that in God put all their trust Shall firmly stand like Sion hill Which by no changes is remov'd But is the same and standeth still 2 And as about Jerusalem Mountains enclose that holy ground So will the Lord for evermore Himself his people compass round 3 For just mens rights and heritage Wicked men shall not still possess Lest righteous men should then put forth Their tempted hand to wickedness 4 Do good Lord to those that are good To men that are of upright heart But as for such as turn aside In crooked ways by sin pervert 5 The Lord shall lead them forth with those Who love and work iniquity But everlasting blessed peace On God 's true Israel shall be PSALM CXXVI 1 WHen God did lay aside his wrath And Captive Sion did redeem The great surprisal of our joy Made us like men that do but dream 2 Our mouth then fill'd with laughter did By singing our great joy express That God hath done great things for us The heathen enemies did confess 3 That God hath done great things for us We speak with glad and thankful mouth 4 Fully restore thy Captives Lord As streams refresh the scorched South 5 They that do sow in mournful tears Their water'd seed's not cast away But they a multiplyed crop Shall shortly reap with endless joy 6 He that in tears doth now go forth And cast his precious seed on earth With great increase in plenteous sheaves Shall come again with endless mirth PSALM CXXVII 1 EXcept the Lord do build house It 's but vain pains the builders take Except the Lord the City keep It 's but in vain the Watchmen wake 2 It 's vain for you betime to rise And late your selves from rest to keep To eat the bread of grief and care While God's beloved rest and sleep 3 Good Children are God's heritage The womb 's blest fruit is his reward 4 Children of youth like arrows are For Parents strength and joy prepar'd 5 Happy therein is he that hath His house his Quiver full of those For he unshamed in the gate Shall boldly speak unto his foes PSALM CXXVIII 1 BLest is each one that fears the Lord And walketh in his holy ways 2 For thou shalt of thy labour eat And happy shalt thou be always 3 As fruitful Vines by thy house-side So shall thy wife with fruit spring out Thy children like to Olive Plants Shall stand thy table round about 4 Behold the man that feareth God Blest visibly

promis'd peace on Israel PSALM CXXIX 1 MAny a time may Israel say With thankfulness to God in truth Have wicked men afflicted me Even from my prime and early youth 2 Many a time even from my youth Their cruel hands have me assail'd But for my wished overthrow They have not yet by rage prevail'd 3 The plowers plowing on my back Did long and bloody furrows make 4 But God is just and me preserv'd Their strongest cords he always brake 5 Let wicked men who Sion hate And all their plots confounded be Let them with shame be turned back And not their hop'd successes fee. 6 Let them be like the rootless grass Which grows a while on the house-tops And quickly withereth away Before they reach their wicked hopes 7 This grass fills not the mower's hand The binder finds no fruitful sheaves 8 Nor God nor man on such curs'd weeds A blessing either finds or leaves PSALM CXXX 1 OUt of the horrid woful deeps Where sin and wrath had cast me down To thee O Lord I poured forth My earnest suit and daily moan 2 O thou the Prayer-hearing God This humbled sinner's voice now hear To my loud cries and sad complaints Let pity grant a hearing ear 3 If in strict Justice thou should'st mark And charge on man iniquity Lord who shall stand at thy just bar Or who himself can justifie 4 But with thee there forgiveness is Thy word of grace doth this declare That sinful man may worship thee In joyful hope without despair 5 Therefore for thee O Lord I wait My soul doth daily wait on thee And on thy sure and faithful word My constant hope shall placed be 6 My soul more waiteth on the Lord Than they that watch for morning light More than the watchful man doth long To see a pleasant morning bright 7 O Israel still hope in the Lord Though low and broken be thy case For with the Lord still mercy is And we shall see his pleased face 8 Plenteous redemption with him is The Lord his chosen flock will bless He will redeem them from their sins And from their felt and fear'd distress PSALM CXXXI 1 LOrd

My King and only God 4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell They always give thee praise 5 Blessed is he whose strength 's in thee In whose heart are thy ways 6 Who passing as through Bala's vale

length 8 Lord God of Hosts my prayer hear O Jacob's God give ear 9 O God our shield look on the face Of thine anointed dear 10 Because one day within thy house Is better to abide Than in another place to stay A thousand days beside Much rather would I keep a door In the house of my God Than in the tents of wickedness To take up mine abode 11 For the Lord God our Sun and Shield Will grace and glory give And no good thing from them with-hold Who uprightly do live 12 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts That man is surely blest Who by a stedfast confidence On thee alone doth rest PSALM LXXXV 1 THou

's gone forth Against us for to cease 5 Shall thy displeasure last Against us without end And to all generations Wilt thou thy wrath extend 6 Wilt thou not us restore And quicken us that we Who are thy people evermore In thee may joyful be 7 Shew us thy mercy Lord Which may thy flock relieve And thy salvation unto us In season freely give 8 I 'le hear what God to us Will speak It will be peace To all his Saints But let not them Return to foolishness 9 Surely to all those who In fear of God do stand His help is nigh that Glory may Dwell always in our land 10 Mercy and truth shall meet And no more parted be And Peace with Righteousness shall greet And blessedly agree 11 Truth here even on this earth Shall spring and prosper well And righteousness from heav'n descend And here among us dwell

distress Yet I am thine Preserve my soul therefore My God thy servant save Who doth on thee rely 3 Be merciful to me O Lord Who daily to thee cry 4 Rejoyce thy servant's soul For unto thee O Lord Do I lift up my soul in hope That thou wilt help afford 5 For thou O Lord art good And ready to forgive And rich in mercy and all those That seek thee dost relieve 6 Give ear to my request My praying voice attend 7 I 'le call on thee when troubles come For thou wilt answer send 8 Among the Gods O Lord None may with thee compare Neither among the works they do Any like thy works are 9 All nations made by thee Shall come and reverently Worship before thee our great God And thy name magnifie 10 For thou art high and great And wondrous things hast done Besides thee there 's no other God For thou art God alone 11 Teach me thy truth and way And I 'le walk in the same Unite my heart Lord unto thee To fear thy holy name 12 My God with all my heart To thee will I give praise And I the glory will ascribe Unto thy name always 13 For thy mercy to me In greatness doth excel Thou hast delivered my soul Both from the Grave and Hell 14 The proud against me rise Terrible men are met In troops that seek my life but thee Before them have not set 15 But full of pity Lord And gracious thou art found Thou art long-suffering and in truth And mercy dost abound 16 O turn thee unto me And mercy on me have Strengthen thy servant and the Son Of thine own handmaid save 17 Shew me some sign for good That all my foes may see And be asham'd because thou Lord Dost help and comfort me PSALM LXXXVII 1 UPon the sacred hills He his foundation sets 2 More than all Jacob's dwellings else God loveth Sion gates 3 Great things are said of thee O City of the Lord. 4 Rahab's and Babel's case to those That know me I 'le record It 's said of famous Tyre And land of Palestine And of the Ethiopian land This man was born therein 5 Of Sion't shall be said This man and that man there Was born and he that highest is Himself shall stablish her 6 When God recites their names Who his own people are To their great honour he shall count That this man was born there 7 Singers and those that play On musick there shall be Yea all my springs of holy peace And comfort are in thee PSALM LXXXVIII 1 O God who art my hope and help To thee I cryed night and day 2 Let my cries have access to thee Incline thine ear when I do pray 3 My soul with troubles doth abound My life draws nigh unto the grave 4 Like one that to be buryed goes I am as those that no strength have 5 As a companion of the dead Like those that slain in grave do lye Whom thou hast cut off by thy hand And dost put out their memory 6 Thou lay'st me in the lowest pit And as in deep and darksom caves 7 Thy wrath lyes hard on me and thou Afflictest me with all thy waves 8 My friends thou hast put far from me To them as burdensome I grow In sorrows I am so shut up That forth from thence I cannot go 9 My eye through my affliction mourns I call on thee from day to day To thee O Lord I have stretch'd out My craving hands to thee I pray 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead Shall the dead rise and praise thee here 11 Is thy love praised in the grave Doth death thy faithfulness declare 12 Are thy great works known in the dark Or is thy truth and righteousness Remembred and mention'd in The land of deep forgetfulness 13 But unto thee O Lord I cry My morning's pray'r shall thee prevent 14 Lord why dost thou cast off my soul Why is thy face against me bent 15 Even from my early youth I was Afflicted and as near to die While I thy terrors do endure I almost as distracted lie

thee 2 And now when I in trouble am Hide not thy gracious face from me Bow thine ear to me when I call Hear me and answer speedily 3 My days consumed are like smoak My very bones are burnt and dry 4 My heart within me smitten is And like to grass it 's withered So swallow'd up with grief that I Do even forget to eat my bread 5 By reason of my groaning voice My bones cleave to my withered skin 6 I like mournful Pelican Of the sad wilderness have bin I like an Owl in desart am Who nightly there doth streech and moan 7 I watch and like a sparrow am That sits on the house-top alone 8 My persecuting enemies All day do me reproach and scorn And they that mad against me are Are all against me set and sworn 9 Ashes I eaten have like bread And mingled have my drink with tears 10 Because thine indignation hot And wrath doth cause my pains and fears In mercy thou didst lift me up But thou hast cast me very low 11 My days like shadows do decline And like the wither'd grass I grow 12 But thou art the eternal God And ever dost endure the same Beyond all generations is The memory of thy glorious name 13 Thou wilt arise On Sion thou Wilt timely shew thy mercy great The time to favour her is come The time foretold which thou hast set 14 For in her very ruin'd stones Thy faithful servants pleasure take They love the very dust thereof And therefore for her prayers make 15 So shall the very heathens fear The mighty Lord 's most holy name And all the Kings on earth shall dread Thy glorious Majesty and fame 16 When God his Sion shall build up In glory he 'll to us appear 17 Distress'd

them and deliverance gave 11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes Not one of them was left alive 12 And then they did believe his word And praise in joyful songs did give 13 They soon forgat his works and for His Counsels did not wait with trust 14 But in the desart tempted God And there provokingly did lust 15 He granted them their own request But to their souls he leanness sent 16 They envy'd Moses in the Camp And Aaron the Lord 's chosen Saint 17 The open'd earth Dathan devour'd Cover'd Abiram's company 18 A fire among them kindled was The wicked were burnt up thereby 19 In Horeb they did form a Calâ— The molten Image worshipped 20 To the shape of a grazing Ox Their God their Glory they changed 21 Their God and Saviour who had done Great things in Egypt they forgat 22 Wondrous works in the land Ham By the Red-Sea dreadful and great 23 Therefore he said he 'd them cut off Had not lest he should them destroy His chosen Moses in the breach Stood for to turn his wrath away 24 Yea they despis'd the pleasant land And did not yet believe his word 25 But often murmur'd in their Tents And heard not the voice of the Lord. 26 In desart them to overthrow He therefore did lift up his hand 27 Abroad to make their seed to fall And scatter them in every land 28 They joyn'd themselves to Baal-Peor Sacrifice of the dead they eat 29 Thus they provoked him to wrath Their vile-inventions were so great 30 Then did the plague upon them break But Phinehas stood up to slay And execute Judgment on some And so the wasting Plague did stay 31 This so pleas'd God that he to him Imputed it for righteousness And all his generations For this he promised to bless 32 And at the waters where they strove God into just displeasure brake So that even Moses felt his part And was rebuked for their sake 33 Because their provocations great His patient spirit so much stirr'd That he in passion with his lips Did speak an unadvised word 34 Nor as the Lord commanded them Did they the wicked Nations slay 35 But with the heathen mingled were And learnt their wicked works and way 36 And they the heathen's Idols serv'd Which were to them a deadly snare 37 By them their sons and daughters then To Devils sacrificed were 38 In their own Childrens guiltless blood Their guilty hands they did embrew Whom unto Canaan's Idols they For bloody Sacrifices slew So was the land defil'd with blood 39 And they with their own sinful way And with their own inventions thus From God a whoring went astray 40 Therefore against his people then God's wrath was justly kindled more So that his own inheritance He loathed and did it abhor 41 He gave them to the heathen's power Their wicked foes did them command 42 Their enemies them oppress'd who were Before subjected to their hand 43 Many times he deliver'd them But they again provok'd him so By their own Counsels and their crimes That they were brought exceeding low 44 Yet he regarded their distress And heard when they to him did cry 45 His ancient Covenant also he For them did call to memory And he repenting pity'd them After his mercies manifold 46 And made them pityed be of those Who did them as their Captives hold 47 Save us O Lord and gather us The wicked heathens from among To give thanks to thy holy name And praise thee with triumphing song 48 Blest be Jehovah Israel's God Henceforth to all eternity Let all the people joyntly say Amen Praise ye the Lord most high PSALM CVII 1 GIve thanks to God for he is good His mercies everlasting be 2 Let God's redeemed ones say so Whom from their foes hands he set free 3 And gathered them out of the lands From North and South from East and West 4 In pathless desart wandred they And found no City where to rest 5 Hungry and thirsty their souls saint When want and streights do them oppress 6 They in their trouble cry to God He saves them out of their distress 7 He led them forth by the right way And in the desart did them guide That they might to a City go Where quietly they might abide 8 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 9 He satisfies the longing soul The hungry soul with good is fill'd 10 Such as in darkness and death's shade Do sit in painful Irons held 11 Because against the words of God They often sin'd rebelliously And the just Counsels did contemn Of him that 's over all most high 12 Their hearts with labour he brought down And they from man no help could have 13 They in their trouble cry'd to God From their distress he did them save 14 From darkness and the shade of death He in compassion did them take And their afflicting Captive bonds In pity he asunder brake 15 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 16 For the enthralling gates of brass In pieces he for them did tear And by his hands the Iron bands Asunder also broken were 17 Fools for their own transgressions And for their sins afflicted are 18 Their soul abhors all sorts of meat They to the gates of death draw near 19 They in their trouble cry to God From their distress he doth them save 20 He sent his Word and healed them From danger he deliverance gave 21 O that all men would praise the Lord For his great goodness to us shewn And for the wondrous works which he For us the sons of men hath done 22 And let them sacrifice to him The sacrifice of thankfulness And his great works declare to all And with singing their joy express 23 They that in ships go to the Sea And in great waters business do 24 These see the dreadful works of God And in the deep his wonders view 25 He doth but give out his Command And powerful stormy winds do rise Which makes the Sea in waves to rage And to mount up toward the skies 26 Passengers toss'd up as to heav'n And to the deep cast down again Their troubled Soul in them doth melt While fear doth keep their hearts in pain 27 They reel and stagger to and fro Tost about like to drunken men And in this their distress and fear All their own wit doth fail them then 28 They in their trouble cry to God And he from their distress them saves 29 He makes the storm become a calm And presently doth still the waves 30 Then they with gladness do rejoice Because their danger seemeth past And unto their desired port He safely bringeth them at last 31 O that all men would praise the Lord For the great goodness he hath shown And for
