His shafts dispers'd them as they flew Their force His darted lightnings slew 15. The Oceans Chanell did appear The world's foundations naked were At Thy rebuke O Lord and blast Which Thy incensed Nostrills cast 16. He me from many waters tooke 17. My too strong foes with vengeance strook 18. They me in day of trouble seiz'd But God my stay those sorrowes eas'd 19. He brought me to a spacious place Deliv'ring me through His free grace 20. He did my righteousnesse regard And cleannesse of my hands reward 21. For I the wayes of God have kept Nor wickedly His precepts left 22. His judgments I and statutes prize Still placing them before my eyes 23. I perfect was and innocent Nor to ungodly courses bent 24. Therefore as guiltlesse and upright I am rewarded in His sight Second Part. 25. Thou to the mercifull art kind 26. And pure where Thou dost purenesse find 27. But with the froward art perverse Dost save the poor the proud disperse 28. For thou my candle wilt make bright And turne my darknesse into light 29. By Thee I made a Troop to fall And through my God leap'd ore a wall 30. God's way is perfect His
word try'd Doth as a shield the faithfull hide 31. Who can like Him a Saviour be Or who a Rock to us but He 32. T is God that girdeth me with might And keepes me in my wayes upright 33. My feet like Hind's He maketh swift And to high places doth me lift 34. T is He doth teach my hands to warre Steel bowes by them now broken are 35. Thou wast my shield Thy hand sustain'd I through Thy favour greatnesse gain'd 36. My feet enlarged have not fail'd 37. 'Gainst foes pursuit my hands prevail'd 38. Whose pride now quite confounded lies Wounded and fall'n no more to rise 39. Thou girdest me with strength for fight And hast subdu'd the rebells might 40. Their captive necks below me bend And in deserv'd destruction end 41. They cry'd for safety ' midst their feare But God nor help them would nor hear 42. Like dust blow'n up so did I beat And tread them downe in their retreat 43. From mutiny and peoples strife O Lord Thou resku'd hast my life My head ore Nations Thou dost crowne Those serve me whom I have not know'n 44. Soone as they heare they me obay And strangers stoop unto my sway 45. The aliens away shall fade And their close places leave dismai'd 46 Blest be my Rock who ever lives Exalt Him who Salvation gives 47. T is God whose vengeance doth pursue And people under me subdue 48. He saves me from mine enemies And lifts me up 'bove those that rise He is my reskue my defence From men of blood and violence 49. Therefore will I to Thee O Lord My thanks Eternally record Amongst the Heathen speake Thy fame And praises sing unto Thy Name 30. He great deliverance doth bring In love to His annointed King His mercies doth on David powre And on his seed for evermore PSAL. XIX 1. THe Heavens high declare the fame Of God who did them frame 2. One day another tels and night His wonders doth recite 3. They have no language yet they teach Without or tongue or speech 4. And through the earth their sound is gone To every Nation God in the Circle of those spheares A Tabernacle reares In which the swift unweary'd Sun His daily course may run 5. Who as a Bridegroome freshly deckt Doth on the world reflect And as a Giant strong in might Darts forth his piercing light 6. He breaking from the Easterne skies Doth from his Chambers rise And till his beames declining set Nothing can shun his heat 7. Gods Law is incorrupt and whole Converting every Soule His faithfull promise never dies And makes the simple wise 8. The Statutes of the Lord are right And drooping hearts delight Both pure and perfect His command Gives light to understand 9. Most unpolluted is His feare Eternall and sincere The judgments of the Lord are fixt With Truth and Justice mixt 10. More to be wish'd then golden mines When them the test refines And more then hony that distills The mouth with sweetnessefills 11. By These Thy servant warned is Oft as he goes amisse Which yeeld a plentifull reward To all that Them regard 12. Who knowes how often he offends How far his sin extends Lord cleanse my Soule from crimes conceal'd To none but Thee reveal'd 13. Keep me that no presumptuous staine May ore Thy Servant reigne Then shall I walke in innocence Free from the great offence 14. O Lord my only strength and tow'r Who sav'st me by Thy pow'r Let all my words and thoughts by Thee Heard and accepted be PSAL. XX. 1. THe Lord in thy afflictions day Give eare when thou dost pray The Name of Iacob's God defend On whom thy hopes depend 2. Help from His Sanctuary send And strength from Sion lend 3. Thy Gifts in His remembrance prize Accept thy sacrifice 4 May He who comforts doth inspire Grant thee thy heart's desire Make thee enjoy thy wishes still Thy counsailes all fulfill 5. With thankfull and triumphant voyce We in Thy help rejoyce And in Thy Name our banners reare Who wilt thy servants heare 6. Now know I God who power gave Doth His Annointed save He heares from Heav'n and His right hand Makes him in safety stand 7. Some in their armed Chariots force Some put their trust in horse But we remember will the Lord Whose Name doth strength afford 8. They are brought down and fall'n in war We rays'd in triumph are 9. O save us Lord great Heavens King Heare those requests we bring PSAL. XXI 1. THe King shall in Thy strength be glad Through Thee with safety clad 2. Thou gav'st him all his heart desir'd And what his lips requir'd 3. Thou didst no good from him withhold Crownd'st him with purest gold 4. He asked life and Thou didst give Him endlesse dayes to live 5. Great Majesty doth him invest Through Thy Salvation blest Thou giv'st him joy and lasting grace The favour of Thy face 7. The King on God his trust hath plac't Whose Mercy keeps Him fast 8. Thy right hand all Thy foes shall find Whose hate 'gainst Thee combin'd 9. Thy wrath shall those who Thee forsake A fiery Oven make The Lord shall swallow them in ire By His revenges fire 10. Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from earth Root out their childrens birth 11. For they 'gainst Thee did ill invent Though fayl'd in their intent 12. When at their face Thine arrowes aime They turn their back with shame 13. O Lord Thy strength and glory raise So we Thy pow'r will praise PSAL. XXII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. MY God My God upon me look O wherefore hast Thou me forsook Why help'st Thou not when I implore Nor hear'st when I through anguish roare 2 O God by day to Thee I cry But Thou Thy audience dost deny And in the night when I should sleep My sorrowes will not silence keep 3. But Thou in Holinesse dost dwell O Thou the praise of Israel 4. Our Fathers plac'd their trust in Thee And Thy deliverance set them free 5. They cry'd to Thee surpriz'd with feare And from Confusion saved were 6. But I a worme and no man am Reproach of men and peoples shame 7 Beholders Me their pastime make Shoot out their lip their head they shake 8. He trusted God that He would save See if from him he safety have 9. But Thou didst take me from the womb And ever since my hope become 10. On Thee when on the breast I hung And from the birth my care was flung 11. When trouble 's neare O be not far Since left to me no helpers are 12. For many bulls with bellowing sound Strong bulls of Bashan girt me round 13. They gape like Lions Me about 14. I am like water powred out My bones disjoynted torture crackes My heart within me melts like Waxe 15 My strength is like a Pot-sheard dry'd My tongue up to my Palate ty'd 16. Thou brought'st me down unto the grave For dogs my life encompast have Assemblies of the wicked meet They pierced have
reliefe put far And those who my acquaintance were Conceal'd or lost my sight forbear PSAL. LXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. MY Song thy mercies shall make know'n Thy truth to all succession 2. For They built up for ever last And are in Heav'n establish'd fast 3. I to my chosen David sware And did by Covenant declare 4. I stablish will thy seed alone And build to Thee a lasting Throne 5. The Heav'ns Thy wonders praise confesse And Saints procIaime thy faithfulnesse For who in earth or heaven are 6. Whose might can with the Lord compare 7. Fear'd by His Saints by them implor'd And by His servants still ador'd 8. O Lord of Hosts who is so strong Whose word like thine endures so long 9. Thou rul'st the Seas that rage and rise Whose swelling wave becalmed lies 10. Thou Rahah brak'st like one that 's dead Thine arme thy foes hath scattered 11. The Heav'ns are Thine with earth's encrease And all the fulnesse growes from these 12. The North South thy pow'r did frame Tahor and Hermon praise thy Name 13 Thy mighty arme is lifted high Thy right hand full of Majesty 14. Thy Throne hath justice for its base Mercy and Truth before Thy face 15. Blessed are they who at Thy Feasts And in Thy presence are the guests 16. They all the day rejoyce in Thee In righteousnes exalted be 17. Thy strength and glory them adorne Whose favour shall lift up our horne 18. The Lord to us doth safety bring Thy Holy one remaines our King 19. In visions Thou to Him hast said I on my chosen help have lay'd 20. I have my servant David found With Oyle annointed Him crown'd 21. Confirm'd and strength'ned by my arme I will protect his life from harme 22. No enemy on Him exact Nor hurt him shall by wicked pact 23. His foes beat down before him fly And shall by plagues consumed dy 24. My mercy yet to him assur'd Shall in his glory be secur'd Second Part. 26. His right hand lifted ore the maine Shall to the in-land rivers reigne 26. He crying in his prayers shall My God and Rock and Father call 27. I 'le make him heire my first begot Above earth's Kings advance his lot 28. To Him my mercy nere shall wast My Covenant stand ever fast 29. His seed shall long endure his Throne Like Heav'ns unweary'd motion 30. But if His Sons my Law forsake 31. Or my Commands and Statutes break 32. My rod shall punish their neglect My hand with stripes their sin correct 33. Yet shall my love to him prevaile 34. My Covenant nor change nor faile 35. To David have I sworne that I My promise would not falsify 36. His seed shall governe whil'st the sun About the world his course doth run 37. And like the Moon establish'd be The faithfull pledg of my decree 38. But thine annointed now thy wrath Cast off and quite abhorred hath 39. Thou voyd hast made the Cov'nant seal'd Profan'd his crowne his Rule repeal'd 40. His Bulwarks broke his senses torne 41. Make him his neighbour's spoyle scorne 42. Thou strength'ned ha'st his foes right hand That he in battail cannot stand 44. His sword wants edge His glory 's gone And to the earth cast down his throne 45. Thou short'ned hast his youth His fame Obscur'd and cover'd is with shame 46. Lord wilt Thou ever from us turne Or shall like fire thine anger burne 47. Remember yet how short my dayes How vaine man's life how soon decaies 48. What mortall lives who shall not dy And in the pit of silence ly 49. Where are thy mercies Lord the faith Thy oath to David plighted hath 50. Remember Lord thy servants shame How mighty people us defame 51. Thinke how thy foes have us abus'd And thine Annointed's steps traduc'd 52. Yet shall my soul how ere opprest Say evermore The Lord be blest PSAL. XC Sing this as the Lamentation 1. O Lord Thou ha'st our refuge been All ages have thy mercies seene 2. Before the lofty hills were made Or earth's unmov'd foundation lay'd From everlasting Thou art God And wilt out live times period 3. Thou turn'st to dust the Sons of men Then say'st Returne to life agen 4. A thousand yeares in thy account But to a day with us amount Nor are extended in thy sight Beyond the watch of one short night 5. Our time runs on like rapid streams We vanish as forgotten dreams 6. Like grasse or morning flowres we spring Then wither in the evening 7. When Thou displeased art we wast And unto nothing come at last 8. Thou mark'st our deeds our sins of night Are alwayes open to thy sight Making the breach of thy pure Lawes Our death and swift destructions cause 9. From whence we suddenly waxe old Expiring like a tale that 's told 10. The common Age of mortall men Exceeds not Threescore yeares and ten And if to Fourscore they attaine Their life is but a length'ned paine Incessant sorrowes and disease Their faculties and vigour seize For soon cut off our dayes decay And suddenly we flie away 11. But who regards Thy heauy wrath Or of Thy feare true feeling hath Neither Thy judgements nor Thy love Can us unto repentance move 12. Lord so our dayes to number teach We may the end of wisedome reach And learne those errours to forget Which us in Thy displeasure set 13 Returne O Lord and now repent At our endured punishment How long wilt Thou thy help delay Or not remove our woes away 14. O satisfy our Soule with joyes To recompense Lifes past annoyes 15. Afford us comfort for those yeares We were enforc'd to spend in teares 16. Lord Let Thy glorious work appeare Thy servants from the dust to reare That all succeeding times may know What praises to thy Name we owe. 17. O let thy beames of favour shine On those who in death's shade have ly'n Grant that for which we prayers make And prosper all we undertake PSAL. XCI 1.

I therefore to the Lord will say Thou art my hope and stay Thou art my refuge my strong hold Who do'st my faith embold 3. He shall preserve Thee from the net Which cunning hunters set Protecting thee by His defense In times of Pestilence 4. He over thee His wings shall spread With safety covered And least temptation make thee yield His truth shall be thy shield 5. The gastly terrours of the night Shall not thy peace affright Nor arrowes which by day do kill Thy life with slaughter spill 6. No tainted aire or noysome Pest Thy dwelling shall infest No perills which at noon destroy Thy safety shall annoy 7. Though Thousands or ten thousands dy'd Thick falling by thy side Thou shalt unhurt and guarded stand From sicknesse on each hand 8. Thine eye the wicked shall behold Unto destruction sold 9. Yet them nor feares nor dangers shake
