Thou hear'st each whisper from my tongue And ere 't was utter'd knew'st it long 5 By Thee I fashion'd am and made Thy hand each part in order lay'd 6. Yet can I not the knowledge gaine How I this being did attaine Which doth in wonder so excell 'T is easier to admire then tell 7. How shall I from Thy spirit fly Or Thy all present pow'r deny 8. If I climbe Heav'n 't is Thine own Shere If stoop to Hell lo Thou art there 9. If borne upon the mornings wing Far as the Sea doth swell or spring 10. Thy Right hand shall protect and lead Where ere my weary footsteps tread 11. If I pretend the darknes shall Upon me like a cov'ring fall Those heavy fogs those mists of night Will quickly cleare and turne to light 12. The thickest shade or blackest cloud Can nothing from thy knowledg shrow'd For darkness doth like Noon-tide shine Light'ned by brighter beams of Thine 13. My reines are Thine Thou mad'st the womb My bodies cloathing to become 14. I will give thanks to Thee O Lord Who was enlived by Thy word With awfull art and wond'rous forme Thou did'st Thy workmanship adorne My soule Their marvels must confess And for Thy favours daily bless 15. Though I was fashion'd in the dark Too secretly for man to mark There is no curious joynt or bone But was to Thy inspection know'n 16. Thou did'st upon my substance look And wrot'st each member in Thy book Thou saw'st how
correct Rebuking his neglect Thou mak'st his beauty soone consume Like to the wandring fume Sicknesse destroyes him as a moath Corrodes and frets the cloath So vaine is man and quickly gone Into corruption 12.

Be pleas'd to save and keep me fast O Lord to give me help make hast 14.

O send Thy Glorious beams of light Thy truth to keep me right That of Thy holy dwellings I May make discovery 4. Then will I to Thy altar bring A joyfull offering And on the harp my ditties raise To celebrate Thy praise 5.

Thou art my King Deliverance to Iacob bring 5. Through Thee we will our enemies And those tread downe who 'gainst us rise 6. For in my bow I will not trust 'T is not my sword deliver must 7. But Thou hast sav'd us by Thy Name And all that hate us put to shame 8. In God all day we make our boasts And praise Thy Name great Lord of hoasts 9. But Thou hast left and cast us low Nor with our Armies forth dost goe 10. Thou makest us our backs to turne Whilst they which hate us spoile burne 11. Thou gav'st us to the Heathens pow'r Like sheep to scatter and devoure 12. Thou do'st Thy People sell for nought Not richer when the price is brought 13. Thou makest us our

But God my my soule shall take and save From power of the wide-mouth'd grave 16. Be not thou troubled or afraid When one of these is wealthy made Or when with plenty fill'd and ease His houses glory doth encrease 17. He carries nothing when he dies But stript of all his honour lies 18. Though living he his soule did blesse Applauding his false happinesse And men that course in worldings praise Which most the appetite obaies 19.

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.
