I from the windy storme would hast And this fierce tempest 'scape at last 9. Destroy O Lord their tongues divide For in the City strife I spy'd 10. Both day and night the walls they round Wherein all mischeifes do abound 11. In midst whereof foule sins do meet Deceit and guile in ev'ry street 12.

But I upon the Lord will call Who saves me from their plotted fall 17. At ev'ning morning and mid-day To Him that heares me will I pray 18. He resku'd hath in peace my life Deliver'd from their bloody strife Who were in battail opposite For many then for me did fight 19. Afflictions shall on them lay hold By God impos'd who ' bides of old Because they in no changes were They grow secure and God not feare 20.

Who feare Him small or great are blest 14. And in their race shall be encreast 15. You are the blessed of the Lord Who heaven fram'd and earth hath stor'd 16. He in the Heav'n of Heavens lives But earth unto mans children gives 17. The dead Thy praises cannot shew Nor those who downe to silence go 18. But we the Lord through all our daies Will blesse The Lord for ever praise PSAL. CXVI 1. I Love the Lord and am well pleas'd He hath me heard and eas'd 2. Whilst therefore life continue shall I will upon Him call 3. The snares of death about me dwelt And paines of Hell I felt Disturbed thoughts and heavinesse My conscience did oppress 4. Then to the Lord my plaint I made And thus unto Him said O Lord my soule from falling save And lift me from the grave 5. The Lord is gracious and just To those His mercy trust 6. His Hand the simple doth protect When crosses them deject 7. Turne then my soule unto thy rest God's favours have thee blest He bountifully doth reward And thee from dangers guard 8. Thou keep'st my soule from death's pale feares My drooping eyes from teares And did'st my wand'ring steps recall When I was apt to fall 9. My feet before the Lord shall stand In His eternall land 10. I therefore pray'd and thus believ'd Yet still my heart was griev'd For in my foes successe I fail'd Till faith at last prevail'd 11. Then I all men for Lyars knew And God alone for true 12. What retribution shall I give To him by whom I live Or what acknowledgment apply For His benignity 13. Salvations sacred Cup I 'le take And humble prayers make 14. Before His people shall be pay'd The vowes which I have made 15. For those that live like Saints upright And in the Lord delight Are living dear unto His eye And pretious when they dy 16. Lord I Thy faithfull servant am And still adore Thy Name Thou loosed hast my heavy yoak My bonds in sunder broke 17. Therefore my praises unto Thee Shall daily
Lord obey PSAL. CXLV Sing this as Psalme 100. 1. I Thee extoll my God and King And of Thy Name for ever sing 2. I Thee will bless through all my daies And yield Thy Name eternall praise 3. Great is the Lord prais'd and admir'd His greatness is by none exquir'd 4. Each generation shall declare How mighty His atchievements are 5. I will Thy glory celebrate Thy wond'rous works Majestick State 6. Thy acts of terrour and of fame All men shall speak and I proclaime 7. They shall abundantly profess Thy goodness and Thy righteousness 8. Whose grace and full compassions flow To mercy swift to anger slow 9. God's goodness every where extends His mercy all His works transcends 10. All things O Lord Thou did'st create And Saints Thy praise shall celebrate 11. Their tongues Thy Kingdom 's rule make know'n By them Thy glorious acts are show'n 12. That all the Sons of men may see Thy mighty pow'r and Majestie 13. Thy Kingdom doth for ever last When men decay and time is past 14. God doth uphold all such as fall And men cast downe from ruin call 15. The eyes of all on Thee attend Who in due season meat do'st send 16. Thy open hand when need requires Doth satisfie their just desires 17. The Lord is right in all His waies In Holiness His works He layes 18. The Lord is good and nigh to all Who faithfully upon Him call 19. He their desire will satisfie Who feare Him and regard their cry 20. Saves all that love Him from annoy But all the wicked will destroy 21. Therefore my mouth to speake His praise Shall lowd and thankfull accents raise And let all flesh whom He did frame For ever bless His Holy Name PSAL. CXLVI 1. TTo God my soule His praises give And bless Him whil'st I live 2. I will to Him my thankes up send Untill my being end 3. Put not in Princes any trust Nor in the Sons of dust Who nor themselves nor others save From the devouring grave 4. Soon as man breathless doth remaine He turnes to earth againe And as his time of life expires So perish his desires 5. O therefore happy he whose faith On God relyance hath Who makes the fear of Him his scope And object of his hope 6. He Heav'n and earth and Sea did frame With all that Those containe And when their frame is quite defac't His truth shall ever last 7. He doth the wronged help to right Who are opprest by might Feeds those that are to want expos'd And hath the Captives loos'd 8. He to the blind restores their eyes He makes the fall'n to rise He upon such bestowes his care Who just and faithfull are 9. The Lord all strangers doth receive And fatherless releive When wicked men are overthrowne And all their hopes cast downe 10. The Lord thy God O Sion reignes His glory still remaines Then to thy everlasting King Eternall praises sing PSAL. CXLVII 1. PRaise ye the Lord a pleasant thing It is His praise to sing 2. God ruin'd Salem doth repaire Whose out-casts gather'd are 3. He heales and binds the broken heart Relieves the wounded's smart 4. The sparkling Starres He numbers all And by their names doth call 5. Great is our Lord and strong His might His Wisdome infinite 6. He doth the meek exalt and crowne But cast's the wicked downe 7. To God the Lord so good so great Your thankfull hymnes repeat And to the Harpes melodious string His constant praises sing 8. Who heavens face with vapour shrowds And covers it with clouds Who powres his raine on earth below And makes the Mountaines grow 9. He gives his food unto the beast And from their airy nest When the young ravens to Him cry Feeds Them abundantly 10. He not delights in strength of horse Nor values humane force 11. But those who make His feare their scope And in His mercy hope 12. Ierusalem O praise the Lord Sion Thy God record 13. Who barres thy gates to give thee rest And hath thy children blest 14. He maketh in thy borders peace Fills thee with cornes increase 15. His wing'd commands most swiftly run And soon as said are done 16. He giveth like the wooll his snowes Hoare frost like ashes strowes 17. Casts forth his Ice like morsells roll'd Who can withstand His cold 18. He sendeth out His word and Law Which melts them to a thaw He causeth His strong wind to blow And makes the waters flow 19. His word He doth to Iacob shew Makes him His judgment know And to his chosen Israel He doth His Statutes tell 20. He with no Nation so did deale Nor thus His Love reveale Who nor His judgments knew nor word Therefore Praise ye the Lord. PSAL. CXLVIII To the proper Tune 1. PRaise God from Heaven high Who sits above the sky 2. Ye glorious Angels all Ye Hosts Celestiall 3. Ye Sun and Moon Both Night and Noon Ye Stars of light His praise recite 4. Praise Him ye Heavens that move Ye waters them above 5. Praise Him whose pow'rfull Name Created This great frame He did command 6. Them fast to stand By His decree They lasting be 7. All that earth's bosome keeps Ye dragons and all deepes 8. Fire haile the falling snow The furious winds that blow Stormes that fulfill His sacred will And serve His word Praise ye the Lord. 9. Mountaines that touch the sky Ye Hills which lower ly All trees that fruitfull are The Cedars tall and faire 10. Beasts which the field Or pastures yeild Each creeping thing And bird of wing 11. Kings which the earth do sway People who them obey Princes of royall birth And Judges of the earth 12. Young men and maids Old men and babes 13. Let them proclaime His awfull name His Name doth all excell In earth or Heaven that dwell 14 He will His People raise Of all His Saints the praise Ev'n Iacob deare His care most neare Joyn'd in accord Praise ye the Lord. PSAL. CXLIX Sing this as Psalme 119. 1. PRaise ye the Lord New Anthems bring Which ye to God may sing And let the quire of Saints His praise In their assembly raise 2. Let Israel in Him rejoyce Who form'd him with his voyce Let all the Sons from Sion spring Be joyfull in their King 3. Let them with Dance and Pipe proclaime The glory of His Name Let them sing praises with the Harp With Timbrell shrill and sharp 4. For in His people He delights Who celebrate His Rites And those with meekness who abound Are with salvation crown'd 5. Let Saints with glory raise their heads And sing upon their beds 6. Let His high praise who rules the skies Their voices exercise And in their hand a Two-edg'd sword Be put to act His word 7. For judgment 'gainst the Heathen bent And peoples punishment 8. Their captive Kings in chaines confin'd With manacles to bind And their rebellious Nobles lead In iron fettered 9. To execute that heavy wrath His judgment threat'ned hath
