Which now cut down wild Flames devour Through thy fierce wrath to ruin brought Protect thy People by thy Power And perfect what thy self hath wrought Reviv'd we will thy Name adore Nor ever from thy Pleasure swerve O from Captivity restore And by thy powerful grace preserve PSALM LXXXI TO God our Strength your voices raise In sacred numbers sing his praise The warbling Lute sweet Viol bring And solemn Harp loud Timbrels ring The new Moon seen shrill Trumpets sound Your sacred Feasts with Triumph crown'd These Rites our God established When Israel He from Aegypt led Their necks with Yokes of bondage wrung Inured to an unknown tongue Your burdens I have cast away Said he and cleans'd your hands from clay Then sav'd when in your fears you cry'd And from the thundring Cloud reply'd I try'd you heard your murmurings At Meribah's admired Springs You Sons of Israel give ear I will instruct you would you hear Beware no foreign gods adore Nor their adulterate Powers implore I Thee alone brought from the Land Of Bondage with a mighty Hand I know and will supply thy need When naked cloath when hungry feed Yet would not they my Counsel brook But desperately their God forsook Whom I unto their lusts resign'd And errors of their wandring Mind O that they had my voice obey'd Nor from the paths of Virtue straid Then Victory their brows had crown'd Their slaughter'd Foes had spread the ground Then had I made their enemy Submit and at their mercy lye Themselves blest with eternal Peace Inriched with the Earths increase With flour of Wheat and Honey fill'd From breaches of the Rock distill'd PSALM LXXXII GOd sits upon the Throne of Kings And Judges unto judgement brings Why then so long Maintain you wrong And favour Lawless things Defend the Poor the Fatherless Their crying injuries redress And vindicate The Desolate Whom wicked men oppress For they of Knowledge have no Light Nor Will to know but walk in Night Earths Bases fail No Laws prevail Scarce one in heart upright Though Gods and Sons of the most High Yet you like common men shall die Like Princes fall Great God judge all The Earth thy Monarchy PSALM LXXXIII LOrd sit not still as deaf unto our cries For lo our Enemies in tumults rise Even those who thy Omnipotence deny And hate thy Name advance their Crests on high Dark counsels take and secretly contrive Their slaughter whom thy Mercy keeps alive Come say they let us with incessant strokes Hew down this Nation like a grove of Okes Till they no longer be and Israel die Both in his Race and ruin'd Memory They all in one confederacy have made A solemn League supply'd with foreign aid Fierce Idumaeans who in Nomades stray And shaggy Ismaelites that live by prey Th' incestuous Race that border on the Lake Of salt Asphalthis Savage Thieves who take Their name from servile Hagar they who dwell In Gebal Ammonites who Peace expell Stern Palaestines and wild Amalekites False Tyrians Ashur with Lots Sons unites Let them like Midian fall by mutual wounds Like Siscra fall like Iabin on the bounds Of Endor where swift Kison takes his birth Who lay like Dung upon the faâ—ned Earth Like Zeb and Orebs Princes made a prey For Wolves like Zeba and proud Zaâ—muna Who said let us these Israelites destroy And all the Cities of their God enjoy O let them like a wheel be hurried round Like chaff which whirlwinds ravish from the ground As Woods grown dry with age imbrac'd with fire Whose flames above the singed Hills aspire So in the Tempest of thy Wrath pursue And with thy Storms thy trembling Foes subdue O fill their hearts with grief their looks with shame Till they invoke thy late blasphemed Name Confound them with eternal Infamie That they through anguish of their Souls may die That men Jehovah's Wonders may rehearse The great Commander of this Universe PSALM LXXXIV O How amiable are Thy Aboads great God of War How I languish through restraint How my longing Spirits faint Lord for thee I daily crie Iâ— thy absence hourly die Sparrows there their young ones rear And the Summers Harbinger By thy Altar builds her nest Where they take their envy'd rest O my King O thou most High Arbiter of Victorie Happy men who spend their Days In thy Courts there sing thy Praise Happy who on Thee depend Thine their Way and thou their End Who through Baca travelling Make that thirsty Vale a Spring Or soft Show'rs from Clouds destill And their empty Cisterns fill Fresh in strength their course pursue Till they thee in Sion view Lord of Hosts incline thine Ear.

PSALM CVIII MY Thoughts the Lord their Object make Before the ruddy Morning spring My Glory of his Praise shall sing Awake my Lute my Harp awake While I to all the World rehearse His praises in a living Verse Thy Mercy O how great extends Above the Starry Firmament Still unto tender pity bent Thy Truth the soaring clouds transcends Thy Head above the Heavens erect Thy Glory on the Earth reflect O hear us who thy aid implore And with thy own Right hand defend To thy Beloved Succour send God by his Sanctity thus swore I Sâ—â—coths Valley will divide In Sichems Spoils be magnifi'd Manasseh Gilead both are mine Ephraim my Strength in Battail bold Thou Iudah shalt my Scepter hold â— will triumph o're Palaestine Base Servitude shall Moab waste O're Edom I my Shooe will cast Who will our forward Troops direct To Rabbah strongly fortifi'd Or into sandy Edom guide Lord wilt not thou that didst reject Nor wouldst before our Armies goe Now lead our Host against the Foe When Death and Horrour most affright Do thou our troubled Souls sustain For O the help of Man is vain Lead and we valiantly shall fight Thy Feet our Foes shall trample down Thy Hands our Brows with Conquest crown PSALM CIX MY God my Glory leave not in Distress Nor let prevailing fraud the truth oppress They who delight in subtilties and wrongs Afflict me with the poison of their tongues With Slander and Detraction gird me round And would without a Cause my life confound Good turns with evil proudly recompence And Love with Hate my Merit my offence But I in these Extremes to thee repair And pour out my perplexed Soul in Prayer Subject him to a Tyrants stern command Subverting Satan place at his Right hand Found guilty when arraign'd in that fear'd time Let his rejected Prayers augment his Crime May he by violence untimely dye And let another his Command supply Let his distressed Widow weep in vain His wretched Orphans to deaf Ears complain Let them the wandring Paths of Exile tread And in unpeopled Deserts seek their bread Let griping Usurers divide his spoil And Strangers reap the harvest of his toil In his long misery may he find no Friend None to his Race so much as Pity lend Let his Posterity be overthrown Their Names to the succeeding Age unknown Let not the Lord his Fathers Sins forget His Mothers Infamy before him set O let them be the Object of his Eye Till he out-root their hated Memory That to the wretched would no Mercy show But cruelly pursu'd his Overthrow Laid Trains to kill the Broken and Contrite On his own head let his dire Curses light He hated Blessing never be he blest Let cursing like a Robe his Loins invest And like a fatal Girdle gird him round As he with Execrations did abound Let them like Water in his Bowels boil And eat into his Bones like burning Oyl Thus let the Lord reward my Enemies Who seek to blast me with malicious lies But Lord in my deliverance proclame Thy Mercy for the honour of thy Name For I am poor with misery opprest My wounded heart bleeds in my panting brest I like the Evening shadow am declin'd And like the Locust toss'd with every wind My feeble Knees beneath their burden bend My Flesh with fasting falls my Bones ascend Reproach hath seiz'd on me my Foes revile And in derision shake their heads and smile My God O snatch me from the swallowing grave Thy servant with accustom'd Mercy save That they may know it was thy powerful Hand And how I by divine Supportance stand Still may they vainly curse whom thou dost bless And pine with envy at my good success Let them be cloth'd with shame O be their own Confusion on them like a Mantle thrown But I thy praise will duly celebrate And to the multitude thy Deeds relate That hast th' afflicted Soul from sorrow freed And from their snares who had his death decreed PSALM CX THe Lord unto my Lord thus spake Sit at my right hand till I make A Foot-stool of thy Foes He will thy Rod from Sion send Unto whose Power all powers shall bend That dare thy Rule oppose Thy People willingly shall pay Their vows in that triumphant Day With their united Powers Aray'd in Ephods nor so few As are those Pearls of Morning-dew Which hang on Herbs and Flowers He swore who never Oath did break Of th' order of Melchisedeck That thou a Priest should'st raign Even while the Sun disperst his Light While Moons shall rule th' alternate Night Or Stars their course maintain God in that Day at thy right hand Their Blood who Tyrant-like command Shall in his fury spill He in his Justice shall confound The Heathen and the purple ground With heaps of slaughter fill Who over many Nations sway And only their own Wills obey Shall sink beneath his rage Then shall this all-subduing King With Water of the Crystal spring His burning thirst asswage PSALM CXI MY Soul the honour of our King Shall in the great Assembly sing Great are the wonders He hath shown With joy by their admirers known His glorious deeds all praise transcend His equal Justice knows no end Left in eternal Monuments Whose Mercy Death and Hell prevents Feeds those who fear his Name and will His Promise faithfully fulfill Who planted with a powerful Hand His People in this pleasant Land Just Judgement executes directs By sacred Laws and Truth affects These fretting Time shall never waste But squar'd by Justice ever last His Word to us confirm'd by deed So often from oppression freed His Name is terrible to all His fear is the Original Of Wisdom and they only wise Who make his Laws their Exercise His praise while men have memory And power of speech shall never dye PSALM CXII Hallelu-jah THat man is blest who fears the Lord And cheerfully obeys his Word His Seed shall flourish on the Earth Their Off-spring happy from their birth His House with riches shall abound His truth with endless honour crown'd To him in darkness light ascends Mild gracious just in all his ends His bounty for the poor provides Discretion all his actions guides No violence shall cast him down No time deface his just renown Nor rumours shake his confidence The Lord his Hope and strong Defence Confirm'd in fearless fortitude Till he have all his Foes subdu'd He the necessitated feeds The honour of his vertuous Deeds Shall live in sacred memory His Glories shall ascend on high Th' unjust inrag'd their teeth shall grinde And languish with the grief of minde Pale envy shall their flesh consume And all their hopes convert to fume PSALM CXIII Hallelu-jah O You who serve the living Lord Due praises to his Name afford Now and for ever celebrate Let all his noble Acts relate Even from the purple Morn's uprise To where the Evening
