godlie to giue thankes and to celebrate the praise of God THE PARAPHRASIS 1 GOD from whose mercie so manie benefites do proceede vnto vs continue to blesse vs and chiefelie do cause his pleasant countenance to shine vpon vs. 2 That his waie which he hath declared vnto his people may be knowne as far as the borders of the earth are extended and that al nations may embrace the saluation promised by him 3 Let al people praise thee ô God let al the people praise thee 4 Let the people be glad and reioice For the time wil be when thou shalt gouerne the whole world with most iust and righteous iudgement 5 Let the people praise thee ô God let al the people praise thee 6 Command the earth also to bring foorth her fruites and continue ô God our God to heape thy benefites vpon vs. 7 Continue I saie ô God to blesse vs and let al the world againe acknowledge and worship thee PSALME LXVIII The Argument Dauid being about to carrie the Arke of the couenant which was the visible testimonie of the presence of God and of his mercie into the tower of Sion when he had ordeined a solemnitie whereof he himselfe was the ringleader than the which there was neuer anie in this nation more famous which is written plainlie 1. Chron. 15. he made certaine Psalmes vndoubtedlie by diuine inspiration wherewith he inflamed both himselfe and others doubtles to praise God maruelouslie And amongst other he did write this Psalme also than the which nothing could be written more diuinelie more ful of maiestie or more eloquentlie by anie man and he repeateth and calleth to memorie the former benefites of God and addeth maruellous artificial colours rather painting it forth than writing it But we must diligentlie marke this thing further that the Prophet stood not fixed onlie in that matter which was then in hand but by diuine inspiration did insinuate mysticallie as the times did then suffer the most excellent secrets of the kingdome of heauen and therfore by that Arke is mysticallie vnderstood that the sonne of God in whome the fulnesse of the Godhead remaineth hath put vpon him our flesh by Sion is meant the tabernacle not made with mans hand by bringing in of the Arke the ascension of Christ into heauen by leading awaie of the captiues that Sathan sinne death are ouercome lastlie by the temporal blessings continuallie powred vpon Jsraël the spiritual euerlasting giftes of Christ dailie bestowed vpon the Church by the holie ministerie worke of the Gospel is here figuratiuelie described as Paule witnesseth Ephes 4 8. and almost throughout the Epistle to the Hebrues THE PARAPHRASIS 1 GO to let God onlie arise and in a moment al his enimies shal flee awaie wandring and scattered abroade 2 For al the vngodlie must none otherwise vanish awaie at his sight and countenance than the smoake which being driuen with the winde is dispersed and the waxe that is laied before the fire is melted 3 But on the contrarie the righteous being maruelouslie refreshed by his countenance shal reioice and shal leape for gladnes 4 Go to then celebrate the Lord with songs sing vnto his name prepare the waie to him that hath long wandered in the wildernesse and comming now vnto vs praise him I saie who is eternal both in name and in deede and reioice before him 5 For he that is the father of the fatherles and the defender of the widowes hath now chosen amongst vs holie and stable habitations vnto himselfe 6 This is he that hath made fruiteful those barren persons of whome we had our beginning who hath losed vs from bonds being oppressed with most cruel bondage who hath cast out the rebels into drie and desert countries and regions 7 For thou ô God when thou wentest before the people leddest them by the horrible wildernes 8 The earth it selfe did tremble and the heauens being afraid by feeling of thy maiestie were dissolued as it were in a sweate and dropped downe when thou ô God the God of Israël didest sit presentlie vpon the top of mount Sinai 9 Furthermore thou hast not failed to water the countrie in the which thou hast placed thy people with the raine of thy large liberalitie and to refresh it when it was barren 10 Euen that thou mightest feede therein thy flocks to whome thou hast giuen it and mightest strengthen thine which else should haue perished through hunger 11 And also thou hast giuen the cause to the great multitudes of our virgins to reioice and sing of thy victories which should otherwaies haue bin vnthankeful vnlesse they had praised thee with hymnes 12 Behold the mightie euen the kings compassed about with their armies haue fled awaie they haue fled I saie and the women that vsed not to come out of the house haue diuided the spoile 13 O ye damsels ye haue liued hitherto amongst the soote of the pots euen sitting at home but now ye may come foorth shining and glittering no otherwise than the doues as white as snowe do cast foorth a certaine golden glistering as they flee in the aire 14 For when the strength of the enimies was scattered by the power of GOD a most cleare brightnes did shine vnto the earth euen like the snowe that lieth vpon the top of Salmon which dazeleth the eies of them that looke vpon it with the brightnes thereof 15 O mount Basan thou verelie art verie fat and art seene to haue manie tops of thy hilles but what canst thou do God hath not chosen thee but the mount Sion vnto himselfe 16 Why then should ye be proud why should ye lift vp the tops of your hilles for God hath chosen vnto himselfe this hil far lower than you in the which he wil dwel the Lord hath consecrated vnto himselfe this seate for euer 17 Here verelie he is caried in his chariots the which two millians both on this side and that side doe drawe and being inuironed with these armies as he did sit vpon the top of Sina of old so now he entreth the possession of this his holie place 18 Now therefore ô God thou doest verelie exalt thy selfe carrieng awaie thine enimies captiue taking the spoiles that thou maist giue to thine euen thus taming thine enimies how rebellious so euer and going vp to the tower of Sion that thou maist settle thine euerlasting habitation there 19 Wherefore euerlasting praise be vnto thee ô Lord ô God I saie our sauiour which doest heape vpon vs thy continual benefites 20 For this is that God who hath declared himselfe vnto vs to be the God our sauiour after a thousand sorts and the Lord hath approued in verie deede that deliuerance from death is set in him alone 21 Therefore so oft as neede is that same God wil breake the verie head of his enimies and wil cast downe the wicked which arrogantlie hold vp their long shagged haire 22 For he hath promised to do the same thing againe

faile to be worshipped 6 And thou againe wilt powre downe vpon thy people from heauen al good things like a showre comming downe vpon the new mowne medowes and none otherwise than thou vsest to water the earth with showres in due season 7 Whilest he reigneth the iust shal flourish and great peace shal be so continued as is the firme course of the starres 8 And the king himselfe shal haue dominion from the one sea to the other euen from Euphrates to the farthest coastes of the earth 9 The inhabitants of the countries of the desert shal come vnder his yoake falling downe vnder his feete and his enimies falling downe before him shal licke the dust of the earth 10 The kings of Silicia and of the Islands shal offer presents vnto him the Aethiopians also and the Arabians shal bring him giftes 11 Finallie al kings shal worship him al nations shal serue him 12 For his righteousnes shal be praised throughout the whole world for that he heareth the crie of the poore and doth defend the needie forsaken of others 13 He hath mercie on them that are needie and he refresheth those that are in danger of their life 14 He defendeth the poore against the iniurie of the mightie neither doth he suffer the violence done vnto them to be vnreuenged 15 God also wil keepe him safe and gold shal bee brought vnto him out of the middest of Arabia al men shal make praiers for his life and safetie and shal dailie wish al prosperitie vnto him 16 Then shal wheate be shorne euerie-where with ful handfuls in the verie mountaine tops the corne growing as high as the trees of Libanus and there shal be such a multitude of inhabitants in the cities that they may almost seeme like plants springing out of the earth 17 Therefore his memorie shal be for euer euen durable as the Sunne and this king shal be an example of al felicitie vnto al nations which shal account him blessed 18 But vnto thee ô Lord the Prince of the heauenlie companie the Author of al things so wonderful let al praise be giuen 19 The same of thy glorie be praised for euer that it may fil al the earth so euen so shal it be ¶ Here end the praiers of DAVID sonne of Jshai PSALME LXXIII The Argument That which is written in the end of the former Psalme is not so to be taken as though the Psalmes of Dauid were al ended here as it is euident seeing that diuers of them that folowe haue his name set before them and some of them that go before are without anie title but those 11. that folowe are attributed to Asaph an excellent Prophet and Leuite one of the singers of whome mention is made in manie other places and chiefelie 2. Chro. 29 30. vnlesse we had rather saie that there were diuers men of that name or that his posteritie were called by that name And in this Psalme is d●scribed the victorie of the spirit against the flesh the which the Sophisters and Papists do falselie imagine to be that which is taught by the Philosophers when they dispute of the strife betwixt reason and the affections whereas yet in those things which peculiarlie belong vnto God there is nothing that striueth more against the true wisedome than doth the verie reason of man as he is natural and not regenerate yea euen then when he hath granted the true principles so true is it that the Apostle saith euen that mans wisedome doth end in foolishnes as appeareth also in this Argument For mans wisedome doth iudge and rightlie iudgeth that if men be gouerned by the prouidence of God it must go wel with good men and euil with euil men But where it gathereth thereby that therefore men are not gouerned by the prouidence of God and that their paines and trauel is in vaine which seeke vertue because the life of wicked men f●r the most part floweth with prosperitie but the life of the godlie is contrarilie ful of calamitie herein it sheweth it selfe to be most foolish For it should rather haue bin gathered by that same principle that we must determine otherwise of the ends of good and euil things than men vse to do because God doth bestowe euen vpon euil men certaine commodities his prouidence is not therefore abolished but rather his infinite goodnes and patience commended And that good men are exercised with diuers calamities in this life it commeth to passe partlie that they should not abuse the mercie of God partlie because they stand in neede of chastisement and also that they may learne to hope for better things and the more hard battels that they suffer so much the more excellent might the power of God appeare in their victories and the souldiers themselues might be rewarded with so much the greater reward Finallie which is the chiefest of al that it shal neuer go wel with the euil men and that by their owne fault Contrariwise that it shal neuer go euil with the good and that by the singular mercie of God For vnto the euil men good things are turned to euil and on the contrarie vnto the good men euen euil things turne to good This is a verie pretious doctrine which is handled oftentimes both in other Psalmes and in diuers places of the scripture especiallie in Job and the Prophet Abacuc but aboue al in this Psalme the which doctrine Asaph worthilie saith that it must be sought onlie in the sanctuarie of God whereas bare slender and sometime foolish things are taught in the scholes of the difference of good and euil things and of the vertues and of their causes and effects euen among those Philosophers which did count vertue their onlie meede and did iudge onlie the wise man to be alwaies blessed THE PARAPHRASIS 1 BVT whatsoeuer things are now brought on the contrarie it must needes be true and inuiolable that God can not be but fauourable vnto Israël that is to them that worship him purelie and deuoutlie 2 Howbeit I confesse that I could scarselie wrestle out at the length from contrarie cogitations so that I was verie like to fal and scarselie could I staie my selfe least I should fal downe headlong 3 For I was wholie set on fire beholding mad men so proud and puffed vp with prosperitie 4 For they are lustie so that thou wouldest saie that they were free from diseases and almost from death it selfe they are of so strong health 5 When others are in trouble and oppressed with manifold miseries these men haue the comforts of this life in readines whereby they auoide these miseries 6 Therefore are they haughtie and testifie with how great pride and fiercenes their heart swelleth by the verie apparel of their bodie adorned with chaines with gold and pretious stones 7 And their fat panch doth declare with what and how great delicates they abound and their eies sticke out with fatnes and if they desire anie thing they obteine also more than

10 But the innocents whome these men without cause laboured to oppresse shal more ioifullie praise the name of God and shal flie vnto him more boldlie hereafter al I saie that be of good conscience shal take occasion of a certaine holie boasting and glorieng hereby PSALME LXV The Argument This Psalme or hymne written to the praise of God first teacheth vs that his benefites are neuer anie where rightlie knowledged and praised but onlie in his holie congregations Then he biddeth vs to marke three special things and to praise God for them One and that for the greatest that God doth gather a Church vnto himselfe in the which he wil be praised where he heareth them that do praie where he doth forgiue sinne the which finallie he neuer ceasseth to blesse with the multitude of his benefites and most mightilie to defend Secondlie that he doth mainteine the societie of m●n by appointing and preseruing the policies and gouernements in the midst of so great hurlieburlies Thirdlie that he doth minister from heauen al things that are necessarie for this life so abundantlie and liberallie THE PARAPHRASIS 1 THou certeinlie art onlie he to whome once vttering thy pleasure al men must worthily yeeld but this praise ô God is giuen vnto thee in the onlie mount of Sion where onlie vowes are paied vnto thee aright 2 And thou againe there doest despise the praiers of none that flie vnto thee 3 There doest thou purge the sinnes wherewith else we being vtterlie ouerwhelmed durst not lift vp our faces before thee 4 O blessed is he therefore whome so euer thou so fauourest that thou commandest him to come vnto thee and whome thou feedest abundantlie with those true good things of thy house and most holie palace after thou hast receiued him into the number of thy houshold seruants 5 For although no men seeme to be more in danger yet experience it selfe doth declare that none are more sure whiles that thou in verie deede dost declare thy selfe terrible to al their enimies for the perfourmance of thy promise so oft as they cal vpon thee so that euen to the vtmost coastes of the earth and the farthest part of the sea the same of thy name being spread al men are compelled to looke vp vnto thee 6 Thou art he by whose power consisteth whatsoeuer is high in the world euen by thy might which as it establisheth these mountaines which we see and the kingdomes also and the policies whereby mankind is preserued 7 And like as thou doest calme the stormes of the sea and the sounding tempests so also thou doest breake and bridle the fiercenes of the raging multitude 8 By these testimonies of thy most mightie power the inhabitants of the earth being conuinced do tremble and keepe silence and thus peace being restored thou causest that men againe do leade their life both daie and night in comfortable peace and tranquillitie 9 For thou takest care of the earth euen from the heauens watering it and making it fruiteful with plentious showres which are thy verie gift wherwith it being soupled and prepared doth reteine the seede committed vnto it 10 Afterward thou waterest the sorrowes of the fields thou breakest the clots thou mollifiest the ground with mild and timelie showres sent downe from aboue thou cherishest and bringest forth the seede with their buds 11 Finallie thus thou crownest the earth most bountifullie with al kinde of fruites yearelie the fatnes dropping downe from aboue from thy steps which waie soeuer thou walkest 12 Yea and the pastures of the wildernes doest thou cherish with dew and thou fillest the high hilles also with gladnes 13 So are the pastures clad with sheepe the vallies are clothed with corne finallie al places do sound together with ioiful shoutes and songs PSALME LXVI The Argument This Psalme and also certaine other do seeme to be written for the perpetual vse of the Church although they haue some priuate occasion partlie to renew the memorie of so manie old deliuerances and partlie to giue thankes vnto God so oft as anie occasion doth offer it selfe either priuatelie or publikelie THE PARAPHRASIS 1 O Al ye inhabitants of the earth sing vnto the Lord a triumphant song 2 Praise his name with songs praise him with glorie and maiestie 3 Saie in his presence O how terrible and feareful doest thou shew thy selfe in verie deede for euen thine enimies ouercome by the greatnes of thy power are compelled to acknowledge thee and to dissemble at the least that they feare thee 4 Therfore shal al the earth worship thee it shal sing praises vnto thee and celebrate thy name 5 Go to come hither al you behold the things that God hath done and with how great miracles he hath declared himselfe terrible to mortal men 6 This is he that dried vp the sea in a moment and made the floud passable vnto our feete for the which benefit we his people euen at this daie do reioice 7 This is the almightie Lord of the whole world beholding from heauen al the nations scattered throughout the world not suffering them that forsake him to exalt themselues at their pleasure 8 O praise the Lord ô ye tribes and kindreds consecrate vnto him sound forth his glorie far and wide 9 For he hath restored our life when it was lost and he onlie hath staied that we should not fal with sliding steps 10 For thou wouldest not haue vs to be lost ô God but onlie hast tried vs and fined vs as the siluer put in the fornace 11 Thou hast snared vs and cast vs bound with chaines into most streight distresse 12 Thou hast suffered that our enimies hauing ouercome vs did abuse vs with reproches and scoffes as though we had bin beastes we haue tasted the heate of the fire and the force of the water but thou afterward hast sent comfort and refreshed vs. 13 Wherefore I am present in thy house with offerings to performe my vowes 14 Which I haue fullie vowed in my miserie and spoken them with my mouth 15 Therefore haue I determined to offer vnto thee fat offerings euen the fat of rams and bullockes and goates 16 And you also al others that feare God come hither I praie you with me and giue eare vnto me rehearsing the benefits bestowed by him vpon me 17 I haue called for his helpe with my mouth and haue praised him with my tongue 18 And that with a mind free from al euil imagination for else he would not haue heard me 19 Therefore the Lord hath heard me and gaue eare vnto my praier 20 Praise then be vnto God who refused not my praiers neither did withdrawe his mercie from me PSALME LXVII The Argument The Prophet doth attribute vnto the onlie mercie of God both the spiritual blessings which are peculiar vnto the Church and also the corporal whereof he desireth the continuance and also doth prophesie the spreading of the Church that should be vnder Messi●h and so exhorteth al the
