Be ye not like the horse or mule Whom reason cannot rule Whose stubborne mouths the bit and reine From fury must restreine 10. Great plagues and paines that never end For wicked men attend But those in God their trust who place Sure mercies shall embrace Be glad ye righteous and rejoyce Who make the Lord your choice With shouts alowd your joy impart All ye upright in heart PSAL. XXXIII 1. YEe righteous in the Lord delight For praise becomes th'upright 2. Let Harpe and Psaltery's consent The ten-string'd instrument 3. New Songs record unto the voyce With their melodious noise 4. For just Gods promise is to you And all His workes are true 5. He righteousnesse and judgment wills All earth his goodnesse fills 6. The Heav'ns bright host and all beneath He formed with His breath 7. He doth the waters of the deep Heap'd in His store-house keep 8. Let men and all which earth doth beare Of Him then stand in feare 9. He spake and at His free commands The world unmoved stands 10. Mens counsailes and devises wrought The Lord will bring to nought 11. Yet through all ages His decree And thoughts unchanged be 12. Blest is the People He protects And for His Lot elects 13. The Lord from Heav'n His dwelling place 14. Beheld all humane race 15. Their hearts He fashion'd whose each thought And worke to light is brought 16. No King is sav'd by multitude Nor man with might endu'd 17. As vaine for safety is the horse To reskue by his force 18. Who feare and on Gods love relye Are ever in his Eye 19. Their Soule to reskue from the grave And life from famine save 20. Our soule doth wait for God our sheild 21. Glad hopes on Him we build 22. Lord let Thy mercy on us be As we beleive in Thee PSAL. XXXIV 1. I Will at all times blesse the Lord His praises still record 2 And whilst my soule of God makes choice The humble shall rejoyce 3. The Lord with me O magnifie Exalt His Name on high I sought Him who my prayer heard And sav'd from all I fear'd 5. They look'd to Him and light'ned were No shame their faces beare 6. For God did at the poor man's cry Relieve his misery 7. His Angell those environs round Who in His fear are sound 8. O tast and see how good is Hee To such as faithfull be 9. O fear the Lord yee Saints of His For such no blessings misse 10. Young Lions often lacking prey With hunger pine away But those that seek His Covenant No good thing ever want 11. Come children hearken to my speech I you His feare will teach 12. What man is he long life doth crave Or happy dayes would have 13. Keep thou thy tongue from wicked wile Thy lips from speaking guile 14. Depart from ill in good encrease Pursue and seek for peace 15. For on the just God casts His eyes His eares admit their cryes 16. Against the bad He sets his face To cut them from their place 17. The righteous cry and God attends In trouble safety sends 18. He doth in broken hearts delight And saveth soules contrite 19. Great troubles on the righteous fall But He releives in all 20. He keeps the number of each bone Nor broken shall be one 21. Transgressors their own mischeifs slay And with just vengeance pay All such as doe the righteous hate Shall soone be desolate 22. For God His servants soules redeems And deare their faith esteems PSAL. XXXV As Psalme 51. 1. PLead Lord my cause with striving foes Against them fight who me oppose 2. The shield for my Protection weare Draw out Thy all-subduing speare Stop Thou my persecutors way Soule I am thy salvation say 4. Let them drove back with shame retire Who to procure my hurt conspire 5. Like chaffe before the Whirlwinds blast Let them be by God's Angell chas'd 6. Darke be their way their steps untrue And let His Angel them pursue 7. For without cause they hid their snare And for my soule did pits prepare 8. But let themselves surprised all In their contriv'd destruction fall 9. My soule in God shall joyfull be 10. My bones all say who 's like to Thee Who keep'st the poor from suff'ring wrong And help'st the needy 'gainst the strong 11. False witnesse did against me rise And things unknowne to me devise 12. For good they me reward with ill To spoile my soule and life to spill 13. Yet when they lay in sicknesse cast I did for them both pray and fast 14. As for my friend or brother borne Or for my Mother did I mourne 15. But of my trouble glad they joyn'd Yea abjects in my scorne combin'd 16. The mocking hypocrites at feasts By flowting me delight the guests 17. How long wilt Thou looke on O Lord Nor reskue to my soule afford O save me from destructions jawes My darling from the Lions pawes 18. Then in the great assembly I Will thanks and praises multiply 19. Let not insulting foes despise Or wink upon me with their eyes 20. They speake not peace but practise strife Disturbing those of quiet life 21. Their mouth 'gainst me they opened wide Ha ha our eye hath seene it cry'd 22. O Lord Thou their despight dost see Nor silence keep nor absent be 23. Stirre up Thy selfe to judgment wake My cause to Thy protection take 24. O judge me in Thy truth least they 25. With joy We have him swallow'd say 26. But let confounding shame them cloath Who love my hurt my quiet loath 27. Let them that favour my just cause Extoll the Lord with lowd applause Whose goodnes doth his servant raise 28. And still my tongue shall speake Thy praise PSAL. XXXVI 1. MY heart of the transgressor saith No fear of God he hath 2. Himselfe he flatters in conceit Becomming all mens hate 3. His mouth doth fraud and sin devise He is nor good nor wise 4. He mischeife on his bed contrives By wayes abhorred thrives 5. Up to the clouds Thy mercies reach The hills Thy justice teach 6. Thy judgments Lord who all dost keep Are like th'un-fathom'd deep 7. How doth Thy love excell Thy wing Man-kind ore-shadowing 8. Thy house to them full plenty brings Who drinke of Thy pure springs 9. Thou hast lifes springs and in Thy sight We shall behold the light 10. Thy kindnesse Lord and grace impart To the upright in heart 11. Let not the foot of pride prevaile Nor wicked hands assaile 12. Downe are they fall'n who ills devise And never shall arise PSAL. XXXVII Sing this as Psalme 51. 1 FRet not thy selfe nor envious be At those that work iniquity 2.

Throughout the world His lightnings blaze Which trembling earth amaze 5. Hills at his presence turn'd to fume Like melting wax consume 6. The Heav'ns His righteousnes proclaime And men confess His fame 7. Let quick perdition all confound To worship Idols bound Who boast in Stocks and from Him swerve Whom all the Gods must serve 8. Sion and Iudah both rejoyc'd To heare Thy judgments voyc'd 9. With whose exalted state none dare Or men or Gods compare 10. Who love the Lord and do His will See that ye hate all ill He doth from wicked hands protect The soules of His Elect. 11. Unto the Godly springs a light And joy to the upright 12. Let righteous men their Lord then bless And praise His Holines PSAL. XCVIII 1. VNto the Lord your Songs renew Who marvailes wrought for you His holy arme and His right hand The victory hath gain'd 2.

Make to the Lord a joyfull noyse Earth in lowd Songs rejoyce 5 With Harps unto your Maker sing And Psalmes tun'd to the string 6. With Trumpets and the Cornets sound Let your full joyes rebound All in your shrillest accents sing Before the Lord your King 7 Let roaring Seas for gladnes swell The world with those there dwell 8.

XCIX 1. THe Lord doth reigne ye people all With trembling 'fore Him fall His throne 'twixt Cherubs He doth make Let earth be mov'd and shake 2. The Lord is in His Sion great Above the world His Seat 3. Let all the Holines proclaime Of His most awfull Name 4. This King of strength true Judgment loves And equity approves Thou do'st Thy righteous judgments fruit In Iacob execute 5. Exalt the Lord and Him adore His foot-stoole fall before 6. Moses and Aaron 'mongst His Priests On whom His service rests And Samuel 'mongst those that came To supplicate His Name These call'd on Him and when they pray'd He gratious answer made 7. He from the pillar of the Cloud Did speak to them aloud Whose Testimonies they obay'd Nor from His statutes stray'd 8. Thou answer'dst them O Lord our God! With mercy us'dst Thy rod Their sins Thy wrath did not forbear Yet they forgiven were 9. The Lord our God then magnify Exalt His praise on high And worship at His sacred Hill For God is holy still PSAL. C. 1. MAke to the Lord a joyfull noyse All lands to Him lift up your voice 2. Serve Him with gladnes let your tongue Approach His presence with a Song 3. Know He is God by whose hand we And not our own created be We are His people and the sheep His folds enclose His pastures keep 4.

No wicked thing before mine eyes Will I behold or prize I hate the work of them whose pride From Thee doth turne aside 4. A wicked man and froward heart Shall from my thoughts depart Nor with the sinfull or perverse My knowledg shall converse 5. I will cut off the man whose spight His neighbour doth back-bite With him whose heart or look is high I never will comply 6. Upon the faithfull of the land Mine eyes shall fixed stand Who walketh in the perfect way Shall in my service stay 7. 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
Thy accepted time O for Thy Truth and mercies sake Heare those requests I make 14. Deliver me from out the mire Where envious floods conspire 15. To swallowing deeps me nere expose Nor let the pit enclose 16. Give eare O Lord as Thou art kind Let me Thy mercy find 17. Hide not Thy Face in time of need But heare my moane with speed Second Part. 18. Draw nigh O Lord my soule redeem Lost in my foes esteem 19. Thou my dishonour know'st and shame And those who me defame 20. Reproach my heavy heart hath broke Press'd downe with sorrowes stroake For pitty I and comfort look But friends have me forsook 21. For drink they Vineger for meat They gave me Gall to eat 22. O let their table prove their snare Their peace turne to despaire 23. Their eyes be dark'ned and still make Their loines through terrour shake 24. Upon their heads Thy fury powre Let vengeance them devoure 25. Make desolate their dwelling place Their habitation rase 26. For they whom Thou hast smote pursue The woundeds griefe renew 27. Add sin to their iniquity Let them thy presence fly 28. Blot from the Book of life their soule Nor with thy Saints enroll 29. But I am poore and full of paine O raise me up againe 30. So in my Song I le praise thy Name And thankfull ditties frame 31. Such gifts and sacrifice as these Will God much better please Then fatted Oxen from the stall Which on His Alter fall 32. The meek shall see this and be glad whose hopes on God are stay'd 33. For he will hear the poor mans cryes His pris'ners not despise 34. Let Heaven praise Him Seas and earth With all in them have birth 35. For God will Sions Cities blesse For Iudah to possesse 36. His servants and succeeding race Inherit shall this place And those that love His glorious Name For ever there remaine PSAL. LXX 1. MAke hast O God my life to save Thy speedy help I crave 2.

Be Thou my strong and safe resort Who art my Rock and only Fort. 4. O Save me from unrighteous bands From cruell men and bloody hands 5. Thou art my hope O God of truth My trust and Comfort from my youth 6. Thou from the womb did'st me sustaine When brought forth in my Mothers paine Thou from her bowels did'st me bring Of Thee my praise shall ever sing 7. And though mens wonder I am made My strong defense on Thee is lay'd 8. O let my mouth be fill'd with praise And with Thy honour all my daies 9. Cast me not off when old and fraile Nor me forsake when strength doth faile 10. Mine enemies combine with hate And for my Soule lay daily wait 11. Saying Him persecute and take For God and man doth him forsake 12. O be not far from me at need My God to succour me make speed 13. Consume all those and them confound Who seek my Soule with hate to wound Reproach them who conspire my hurt And my affliction make their Sport 14. So never shall my hope give ore But I will praise Thee more and more 15. My mouth shall still Thy mercies shew Whose number I could never know 16. And in Thy strength will I go on Thy goodnesse only mention 17. O God thou me from youth hast taught To speak the wonders thou hast wrought 18. Forsake me not when gray and old Till to this Age Thy pow'r is told 19. Thy righteousnesse O God exceeds Who equall can Thy mighty deeds 20. Thou who hast shew'd me grief paine Shalt quicken me O Lord againe Thy hand shall bring me from the deep Though bury'd low in earth I sleep 21. Thou shalt my greatnes then encrease And comfort me with endlesse peace 22. Therefore O God through all my daies On Psalteries Thy truth I 'le praise And on the harpe Thy mercies tell O Holy one of Israël 23. My joyfull lips to thee shall sing My soul which Thou from death didst bring 24. My tongue Thy justice shall proclaime Who do'st my foes confound with shame PSAL. LXXII As Psalme 51. 1. GIve Lord thy judgments to the King And from his Son let Justice spring 2. So shall the right to all extend And equity the poor defend 3. The mountains then shall bring forth peace The hils by righteousnesse encrease 4. He shall the poor and needy save But break oppressors in the grave 5. All generations shall Thee feare So long as Sun and Moon appeare 6 He shall like raine on grasse new mow'n Or showres that water earth come downe 7. The just shall flourish in His daies And Peace abound whilst light displayes 8. From Sea to Sea His Throne shall reach And from the flood to earths end stretch 9. They who in desarts dwell shall bow His foes as dust His feet below 10. Tarshish the Isles with Sheba's King And Seba shall their presents bring 11. All Kings before Him shall fall downe And every Nation serve His crowne 12. The cries of helples He will heed 13. And save the soules of such as need 14. He shall from violence redeem And pretious their blood esteem 15. Sheba shall Gold for Tribute pay Men praise Him still and for Him pray 16. The smallest handfull then of corne Upon the tops of Mountaines borne Like Lebanon full fruits shall powre The people flourish like the flow'r 17. His Name endureth whil'st the Sun About the world his course doth run Blessings through Him descend on all And Nations shall Him Blessed call 18.

GOd unto Israel is kind To those are cleane in mind 2. Yet had my wav'ring feet and faith Almost forsook their path 3. For I to envy could not cease At fools and sinners peace 4. Who not impaire in ages length Nor lessen'd are in strength 5. They not like others troubled are Nor plagu'd with common care 6. They therefore are with proud disdaine Compass'd as with a chaine And as a garment for defence Cover'd with violence 7. Their wanton eye with fatnesse swells And wealth their wish excells 8. They most corrupt oppresse the weak And arrogantly speak 9. They set their mouth 'gainst heaven to
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. Yea he such Sov'raigne pow'r resign'd He might his Princes bind And tutor'd by His counsailes wise His Senators advise Second Part. 23. Then Jacob into Egypt came A Sojourner in Ham 24. Where his encreased people growes Much stronger then their foes 25. Whose heart He turn'd their name to hate And use them with deceit 26. Till Moses for their succour sent With chosen Aaron went 27. 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. He brought with joy His people thence Secur'd by His defense 44. And gave Them for their lot a soyle Enrich'd by others toyle 45. That in His Statutes they might live To him all praises give PSAL.

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.

He them directed in his way To find a City for their stay 8. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodness doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the sons of men 9. 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
and counsaile fell 12. Therefore their heart by labours broke Found none to ease them from their yoak 13. Then they their cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 14 He them from death and darknes brought And freedome from their bondage wrought 15. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 16. For He the gates of brass hath broke The iron barres in sunder strook 17. The foolish for their acted sin Have by His hand afflicted bin 18. So that their soul in sicknes cast Abhorring meat could nothing tast 19. Then they their cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 20. His word He sent them which reveal'd Their sorrowes and dejections heal'd 21. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great mercies doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 22. And let their Songs of gladnes rise To pay their thankfull sacrifice Second Part. 23. They that in ships their trafick keep 24. Behold Gods wonders in the deep 25. For he commands the storme to blow 26. Whose billowes them to heaven throw Then downe they fall as if their graves Were made beneath the gaping waves 27. They stagger to and fro and reele And like a drunkard rowles the keele 28. Then they their cries to God address Who them delivers from distress 29. He calmes the storme whose rage gives ore 30. And lands them on the wished shore 31. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 32. In great assemblies bless his Name And 'mongst the Elders speak his fame 33. Who rivers like a desart dryes Makes parched sands where springs did rise 34. He barren makes a fruitfull ground For sins which in the Land abound 35. Then to a poole the desart brings And turns dry grounds to water springs 36. There He the hungry soules hath fill'd That they may live and Cities build 37. To plant the vine and sowe the field Which may hir fruits with plenty yield 38. He multiplies and gives them peace Their flocks not suff'ring to decrease 39. Againe they few when sinfull grow His punishments then brought them low 40. He mighty Princes put to scorne Makes them like wanderers forlorne 41. Yet setteth He the poor on high And spreads like flocks his family 42. The righteous will rejoyce to see When envies mouth shall stopped be 43. Who so is wise will hence record The loving kindnes of the Lord. PSAL. CVIII 1.

In my prosperity I said My bases are for ever lay'd I shall not from my place remove But stand supported by Thy love No change of times or fortunes hate Can overthrow my happy state For thou my Mountaine mad'st so strong I shall on earth continue long Yet whilst exalted in my thought I was to suddaine trouble brought And soon as Thou didst hide Thy face My comforts vanish'd hence apace 8. Then unto Thee O Lord did I With humble supplication cry I did to God my plaint addresse Thus powring forth my heavinesse 9. O Thou most Glorious most Good What profit is there in my blood What triumph canst Thou gaine by it When I goe downe into the pit Shall silent dust or darknesse have A tongue to praise Thee in the grave Or those in earth who closed are From their low Cells Thy truth declare 10. O Lord Thine eare of mercy lend And from Thy dwelling succour send 11.

Bow downe Thy gratious eare with speed Be Thou my strong defence at need 3. For Thou my Rock do'st me protect O for Thy Names sake me direct 4. Pull me from out the dang'rous net Which they for me have closely set 5. My spirit I to Thee commit For Thou O God did'st purchase it 6. I hate all those love vanities But on the Lord my trust relies 7. I joy in Thy compassion show'n Who hast my Soule in trouble know'n 8. Thou didst from hostile hands discharge To liberty my feet enlarge 9. Have mercy Lord and send reliefe Mine eye and soule both wast with griefe 10. Through sin I sigh away my dayes My bones consume my strength decayes 11. My foes reproach my neighbours fright I am whilâ—â— friends avoid my sight 12. Like to the dead I sit forgot And uselesse as a broken pot 13. For I their slander heard and strife Who counsaile took against my life 14. But Lord my trust in Thee is lay'd Thou art my God my help I said 15. 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.

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
So shalt thou dwelling have and food 4. Delight in Him and for thy hire He give thee will thy hearts desire 5. Commit thy selfe to his sole care By whom our actions crowned are 6. Thine innocence Hee 'l bring to light Cleare as the day or noon-tide bright 7. Rest then on Him nor 'gainst those fret Whose wicked projects prosper yet 8. And cease from wrath least anger may To greater evils thee betray 9. For wicked ones are cut away But good men long on earth shall stay 10. The Sinners vanish in short space Though sought thou shalt not find their place 11. Yet shall the meek unshaken stand Inheriting the promis'd land Their blessings here on earth encrease With plenty crown'd and lasting peace 12. Ill men with fury and despight By plots would circumvent th'upright 13. But God shall laugh and them defie Whose veng full day is comming nigh 14. Their sword is draw'n their bow is bent To slay the just is their intent 15. But by their sword themselves shall dy And all their bowes shall broken ly 16. A good mans lot though small is more Then wicked rich mens wealthy store 17. Destruction shall their armes enfold But God the righteous doth uphold 18. The Lord accounts the just mens age And will prolong their heritage 19. In evill times not sham'd nor griev'd In dayes of famine still reliev'd 20. But Gods enraged enemies Shall vanish as the Smoakes that rise Dissolv'd and melted into fume As doth the fat of Lambs consume 21. The wicked borrow but not pay The good both lend and give away 22. Such as be blest possesse the land The bad cut off and cursed stand Second Part. 23. A good mans steps God orders right Who doth in His commands delight 24. Though fallen he shall rise againe For God's right hand doth him sustaine 25. I have been young and now am old Yet never did my eyes behold The just forsaken or unfed Or see his children beg their bread 26. He mercy shewes and lends in need And ever blessed is his seed 27. Depart from evill and doe well That you with Him may ever dwell 28. God judgment loves His Saints not leaves But sinners of their race bereaves 29. The just His promis'd land possesse And dwell in endlesse Happinesse 30. In judgment and discourses wise A righteous mouth will exercise 31. Gods Law doth in his heart abide Nor shall his goings ever slide 32. Though wicked persons daily wait To shed his blood confederate 33. God lets him not condemned ly Or by a wrongfull sentence dy 34. Wait on the Lord and keep His way That He to life exalt thee may When thou the wicked men shalt see Cut off and quite extinguish'd be 35. I in great pow'r have ill ones seen Like spreading Lawrells fresh and green 36. Yet pass'd he by and soon was gone Not found againe nor thought upon 37. Marke the upright the just intend For such a man in peace shall end 38. But sinners to destruction cast Are in their death cut off at last 39. God to the righteous help doth raise He is their strength in troubled dayes His aid shall save them from th'unjust Because in Him they plant their trust PSAL. XXXVIII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. LOrd let me not in anger wast Nor Thy rebukes in fury tast 2. Thy piercing arrowes deeply wound Thy pressing hand doth me confound 3. My sickly body finds no ease Because my sinne doth Thee displease Nor will that guilt Thou dost detest Afford my troubled conscience rest 4. My sins like to a torrent grow'n My sinking head have overflow'n They burthen me with care and feare And are become too great to beare 5. My sores and wounds corrupted smell My foule offence and folly tell 6. Bow'd downe with trouble and forlorne By night I wake by day I mourne 7. My loynes diseas'd my flesh unsound And all my body seems one wound 8. I feeble am with anguish broake And roare beneath They heavy stroak 9. O Lord Thou know'st my whole desire My hidden groanes to Thee aspire 10. My heart doth pant my vigour dies Of light deprived are mine eyes 11. My friends who late professed love Far from my sore themselves remove My kindred my converses shun Nor come to comfort but look on 12. They who my life seek to ensnare Intent upon my mischiefes are With foule reproaches and false lies My ruin daily they devise 13. But I as those nor heare nor speake Did never into passion breake 14. No angry murmur from me fell Which might my griefes impatience tell 15. For I in Thee my trust repose To heare my moane and quell my foes 16. Who when my foot amisse did goe Triumphed at my overthrow 17. With woes opprest I daily fall My sorrowes are continuall And whilst my faults are in my view They do as oft my paine renew 18. I therefore will those sins confesse And with contrition beg redresse I will the guilt of my offence Wash off with teares of penitence 19. O Lord mine enemies are strong And live to do me further wrong Each day their number doth encrease Who are the haters of my peace 20. They also have against me stood Who make returnes of ill for good Yet know no cause for their despight But that I follow what is right 21. Therefore my sad request I make That Thou wilt never me forsake My God! O never far depart Who my releife and comfort art 22. My sighs and sorrowes look upon Thou God of my salvation Afford thy help in time of need And to my reskue come with speed PSAL. XXXIX 1. I Said my wayes I will intend And least my tongue offend My mouth shall bownd and bridled bee Whilst I the wicked see 2. I dumb awhile and silent stood Ev'n ceasing to speak good Untill at last my grieved heart Was urg'd with sorrowes smart 3. So that my heated breast became For lack of vent a flame And then my tongue these words exprest Breath'd forth from my disrest 4. Lord Let me understand my end How farr my dayes extend That I may know how I am fraile Each moment apt to faile 5. Behold Thou mad'st the dayes of man No longer then a span His age as nothing is and he At best but vanitie 6. Man like a shadow walkes in vaine Wasting his time with paine He heapes up riches yet not knowes What heire shall them dispose 7. And now O Lord on whom shall I Whilst I stay here rely Truly my hope shall wait on Thee My joyes there treasur'd be 8. Deliver me when I transgresse And help me in distresse Let not the foolish me deride Or scorne me in their pride 9. Under Thy scourge I silent lay Prepared to obay I did not murmur at my paine Or of Thy hand complaine 10. Yet now Thy mercies I invoke To take away Thy stroke For I consume and my faint breath Is yeelding up to death 11. When Thou for sin dost man
forget my people may 12. Let their mouthes sin themselves confound Themselves their lyes and curses wound 13. Great King consume them in thine ire 14. Let them like dogs at night retire 15. Still wand'ring up and down for meat And grudge when lacking what to eat 16. But to Thy pow'r my lips shall sing Yea long before the day doth spring My thankfull hymnes shall sound aloud The Mercy Thou to me hast show'd Thou art in trouble my defense A refuge for my innocence 17. To Thee O God my strength I le sing For Thou dost help and mercy bring PSAL. LX. 1 LOrd Thou hast scatter'd us abroad We have strange countries troad O turne and let our wand'ring feet In our own dwellings meet 2. The trembling earth is rent by warrs And broke in factious jarrs Heale Thou the breach Thy fury makes For cur foundation shakes 3. With cares Thou hast Thy people fed And to amazement led Thou minglest Thy Revenges cup And we have drunk it up 4. Yet thou thy banner hast display'd To gather those that stray'd Thy truth and wonted pity shall Our banishment recall 5. That therefore Thy belov'd may be From all invasion free Thy right hand for their safety reare And their petitions heare 6. God by his Truth did oft professe He would his servants blesse I will divide faire Shechem's soile And Suecoth's valley spoile Manasseh Gilead both are mine In war shall Ephraim shine But Iudahs Scepter all must awe And give my people Law 8. Moab shall be a dunghill grow'n Proud Edom overthrow'n Philistia's boasted triumphs shall Be buried in hir fall 9. Who me will to the City lead Fierce Edoms strength and head That I may break hir fensed gate And trample on hir state 10. O Thou my God who cast'dst us off And mad'st our force their scoffe Wilt not Thou with our armies go To quell th' insulting foe 11. From trouble save us once againe For help of man is vaine 12. Through God we shall in battail rise And foyle our enemies PSAL. LXI 1. GIve eare O God! unto my cry My Prayer not deny 2. When through the earth in exile throw'n To Thee I make my moane Thou to that rock of strength shalt lead My care oppressed head 3. Who art my shelter and defense Against all violence 4. Within Thy Tabernacle I Will dwell eternally Whilst my unshaken hopes endure Under Thy wing secure 5. For Thou O God hast heard my vow Thou my desire dost know From whom the heritages came To those that feare Thy Name 6. Thou shalt preserve the King in peace And give His yeares encrease 7. That He within Thy gratious sight May dwell in endlesse light Thy mercy and Thy truth prepare Which his preservers are 8. So to Thy Name Ile praises sing And vowes performed bring PSAL. LXII 1. MY soule doth wait on God alone Whence comes salvation 2. He is my Rock firm'd in His love I shall not greatly move 3. How long will mischiefe ye devise Swift death shall you surprise Ye shall be like a bowing wall Or tott'ring fences fall 4. For they consult to cast him downe Whom God lifts to renowne They blessings with their mouth impart But curses from their heart 5. My soule wait Thou on God alone My expectation 6. He is my Rock my safe defense I shall not move from hence 7. In God my health and glory rest My strength and refuge blest 8. Trust Him ye people and implore Your heart before Him powre 9. The sons of men both low and high Are lyes and vanity And all alike in ballance lay'd Weigh lighter then the shade 10. O never in oppression trust Nor robberies unjust If wealth encrease your heart nere set Upon the gaines you get 11. God once hath spoke and oft I heard His pow'r is to be fear'd 12. And that His Mercy doth dispense Each work its recompense PSAL. LXIII 1. O God Thou art my God to Thee My thoughts addressed be And early as the rising day I will before Thee pray My thirsting soule and longing flesh Beg Thou wilt them refresh In that dry land where fruits nere grow Nor streams of water flow 2. That in Thy Sanctuary I May see Thy Majesty And Thy bright glory may behold As I had seen of old 3. Thy loving kindnesse better is Then life or earthly blisse My lips shall therefore praises give 4. And blesse Thee whilst I live Thus unto Thee whose Name is fear'd My hands shall be up-reard 5. My soule is as with marrow cloy'd When thus my mouth 's employ'd 6. I Thee remember on my bed With crosses wearied And in the watches of the night Thy goodnesse I recite 7. Under the shadow of Thy wing To Thee my Help I sing 8. My soule on Thee alone depends Whose Right hand me defends 9. But those that would my Soule enslave Shall sinke into the grave 10. The killing sword their lives shall slay Or make them foxes prey 11. The King in God his joy shall beare With those that by Him sweare When all the mouthes of such as ly Stop'd and confounded dy PSAL. LXIV 1. MY voice in Pray'r O God intend My life from foes defend 2. Me from all wicked counsails shrowd swords And risings of the proud 3. Whose tongues full bent and whet like swords As darts shoot bitter words 4. That fearlesse and in secret they The perfect man may slay 5. In mischeife they encourage each Of snares make private speech Which when in secret lay'd They cry What eyes shall them descry 6. They both contrive and practise ill Most diligent to kill Which in their heart concealed deep Their thoughts in secret keep 7. But God shall with a suddaine dart Wound their malitious heart 8. So their own tongue betray them shall As causer of their fall Then those deride them shall that see And from their vengeance flee 9. All men shall feare and thence declare God's work these judgments are For wisely they consider on And ponder what is done 10. In God rejoyce then shall the just And glory in His trust PSAL. LXV 1.

Blest is the man Thou do'st admit Within Thy Courts to sit For with Thy Temples beauty he Shall satisfied be 5. O God of our salvation Thou Wilt dreadfull wonders show Thou hope of all earth's bounds containe Or far dilated Maine 6. Whose strength the mountaines setteth fast On their foundation plac't 7. Who doth the roaring Seas asswage And still the People's rage 8. They in earth's utmost parts that dwell Thy fearfull tokens tell Thou mak'st th' outgoings of the morne And nights thy praise adorne 9. Thou waterest the earth with raine Then giv'st hir store of graine Such plenty Gods
full river yields T' enrich the thirsty fields 10. The setled furrowes soft with showres Take in Thy blessings stores 11. Thou do'st the year with goodnes crowne Thy clouds drop fatnesse downe 12.

MAke unto God a joyfull noyse Ye lands lift up your voyce 2. Sing forth the honour of His Name Report His glorious fame 3. Say unto God how wond'rous are The works Thou dost prepare To Thee who in great pow'r do'st sit Shall all Thy foes submit 4. With Songs and adoration shall The earth before Thee fall 5. Come see His awfull works and might Shew'n in His children's sight 6. He turn'd the Sea into dry land Wher-on their foot did stand 7. He rules in pow'r His eye doth quell The Nations that rebell 8.

Sing unto God sing praises lowd To Him that rides upon the cloud The Name of great Iehovah blesse 5. A father of the fatherlesse For he relieves the widowes wants 6. He solitary housholds plants And frees the Captives from their chaine Whil'st rebels are with hunger slaine 7. When Lord Thy people Thou didst lead And marches through the desart tread 8. The Heavens melted the earth shook And Sinai was with terrour strook 9. Yet Thou upon thy Lot didst powre When faint and weary plenties store 10. Thy congregation Thou didst feed Reliev'dst the poore and help'dst their need 11. The Lord Himselfe did give the word And num'rous preachers it record 12. Kings armies fled and took the foyle Whilst women did divide the spoile 13. Though then ye have neglected ly'n Ye shall againe with lustre shine Like to the doves faire plumed wing As Gold or Silver glistering 14. When God great Kings had put to flight The land was like to Salmon white 15. God's Mount is as faire Bashans hill Whose height does earth with wonder fill 16. Why leap ye hills which so excell This is the hill where God will dwell 17. His Chariots twenty thousand are Thousands of Angels serve His war Second Part. 18 Thou ha'st ascended up on high And captive led captivity Did'st ransome those who did rebell That God might still among them dwell 19. Blest be the Lord the God of health Who loads us daily with His wealth 20 He is the God whose saving breath The issues doth command from death 21. But God shall wound their hatefull head Who wilfully in sins are led 22. He said I will my people keep From Bashan bring through the deep 23.

How Thou my God King we know Didst in Thy Sanctuary go 25. Singers lead to the Instrument Then Damsels with their Timbrels went 26. Blesse God all yee from Iacob spring 27. Small Benjamin their Ruler bring With Princely Iudah on the Throne Strong Nepthali and Zebulen 28. Thy God for thee did strength command O let Thy work confirmed stand 29.

So Egypts Princes and the Moore With hands stretch'd out shall thee adore 32. Earth's Kingdomes sing and praise ascribe To God who 'bove the Heavens doth ride His mighty voyce He out doth send 34.

Remember not our former sin Nor how rebellious we have bin Let speedy mercies us prevent Who languish through thy punishment 9. Save us God for thy great Name Forgive our sins remove our shame 10.

Heare O my people I will tell To Thee O Israel 9. No Heathen Gods shalt Thou adore Nor worship them before 10. I am thy God who freedome wrought And Thee from Egypt brought Thy mouth enlarg'd and open'd wide By me shall be supply'd 11. But they my precepts did neglect And Iacob Me reject 12.
