To the Reader.

IN this second edition where it might be conveniently done, I have made the paraphrase sho [...]ter; but by reason that a work of this sort is for a people and children who are rude, whereof many can not read, but sing after the line is read, I have shunned to be too concise, lest brevitie should breed obscuritie and many should sing without understanding: where two verses might be conveniently joined in four lines, I have striven to do it; but when I saw that either it made the verse harsh or obscure, or that it behooved me to seeke other wordes then the words of the text, I rather choised to [Page] make the paraphrase a little wider, for to keep so far as I could the wordes of the text, which is the most acurat version, in my judgement, that hitherto hath beene.

In some places obscure, I have striven to make the paraphrase like a commentarie, as for example, PSAL. 76.4. Thou art more glorious and excellent then the mountaines of prey.

By those mountains of prey, the Psalmist understands the enemies of Gods people that made the mountains their strength, and from thence came to spoil them: like those rebels and robbers that from the mountaines of Scotland have murdered and spoiled Gods Saints, and made a prey of them; but this is our comfort, GOD is more glorious and excellent then the mountains of prey; God at last will destroy them, for PSAL. 95.4. The strength of the hills is his.

The Paraphrase.

Thou surely art more glorious

and excellent alway,

[Page]

Then the most mighty foes that be

in mountains seeking prey.

Likewise, PSAL. 87.7. As well singers as the players on instruments shal be there, All my springs are in thee: Those last words, all my springs are in thee, are difficle to many; The Herbew is Col-majane bach, that is, Omnes fontes mei in te, that is, All my fountains or well-springs are in thee; By those springs are understood the affections of the heart, whence spring out the praises of the Lord, as out of a fountaine.

The Paraphrase.

Both singers there and players als
on instruments shall be,
All my best hearts affections
as well-springs are in theee.

So have I done in diverse other places to make all clear and plain for the peoples use: As for some hard passages where I found great diversitie of opinions of worthy learned men, [Page] suspending my judgement, did strive to keep the words of the text, as PSAL. 110.3. In the beauties of holinesse, from the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth.

Some take the beauties of holinesse to be the ornaments of the Sanctuary: others referre them to the holy graces and vertues wherewithall the faithfull should bee beautified.

As for those words, From the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth, they are very hard; Some by the womb of the morning understand the essence of the God-head, that was early in the morning, before the world was made denoting the eternall generation of Christ; This seemes to have beene the minde of the Septuagint, whose wordes are those, Of the wombe before the morning Starre begat I thee, Some take those words to be spoken of Christs man-hood, who had the dew of his birth of the obscure wombe of [Page] the Virgin; Some, which I like best, interpret this of Christs Church, which is said, From the wombe of the morning to have the dew of her youth, that is, as the dew in the morning, aire is bred, as in a a womb, and falleth downe in many drops, so the children of God, the elected Ones shall in the Church be borne in great number by thee preaching of the Gospell: Others give other interpretations; because of such a diversitie of opinions, I would not change a word of the text.

The Paraphrase.

In beauties of great holinesse
with a most pleasant shew,
From the fair mornings womb thou hast
ev
 [...]n of thy youth the dew.

Likewise, there is a great diversitie of opinions concerning those words, PSAL. 24.6. This is the generation of them that seek him: that seek thy face, O Jacob. In the Hebrew, it is Mebakshe-Panecha-Jacob; [Page] Some turne it of Jacob, some in Jacob, and so refer it to [...] true Israelites; Others, as our new versi [...] which is most acurat, hath O Jacob, me [...] ning, as it is well marked on the marge [...] O GOD of Jacob, which interpretatio [...] seemes most fitting for the wordes: I ha [...] keeped the wordes of the new version [...] ceived by our Church.

The Paraphrase.

This is the generation now
of them that in each place
Him seek; O Jacob, that alwayes
do humbly seek thy face.

Those second labours as I did with th [...] former, I in all humilitie submit to th [...] judgement of my reverend brethren in th [...] Ministerie, The Spirits of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets 1 COR. 14.32.

THE PSALMES OF DAVID.

PSALME I.

BLest is the man that walks not in
th'ungodlies counsell ill,
Nor stands in wayes of sinners, nor
in scorners seats sit still.


verse 2 But in the law of God the Lord
is alwayes his delight,
And also he doth meditate
in his law day and night.

 [...]

 [...]

 [...] foorth
his 
 [...] 
 [...]usly
His leaf also at any time 
 [...]
not wither shall at all,
And whatsoever thing he doth
it prosper surely shall.

[Page]


verse 4 The men ungodly are not so,
but in their wicked way
Are like the chaffe, which stormy wind
doth quickly drive away.


verse 5 Therefore th'ungodly shal not stand
before the Judges face;
Nor in the righteous company
the sinners shall have place.

verse 6 For wel the Lord doth know the way
even of the righteous all:
But the way of ungodly men
most surely perish shall.

PSAL. II.

WHy do the heathen fiercely rage,
and people als profane
Imagine in their foolish hearts
a thing that is most vain?


verse 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,
and Rulers that are heer,
'Gainst GOD together counsell take,
and his Anointed dear.

verse 3 Let us their bands that are most strong
asunder break, they say;

[Page]
And from us also all their cords
let us now cast away.


verse 4 He that sits in the heavens above
laugh at their folly shall,
The Lord in wrath shall them at last
have in derision all.

verse 5 Then to them shal he speak in wrath,
and them vex sore he will:


verse 6 Yet have I set my King upon
Sion, my holy Hill.


verse 7 Now the decree declare I will,
the LORD hath said, to me,
Thou surely art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee.

verse 8 Ask of me, I'le the heathen give
for heritage to thee,
The utmost parts of all the earth
shall thy possession be.


verse 9 With rod of yron in thy hand
thou shalt soon break them small,
Thou like a potters vessell shalt
in pieces dash them all.


verse 10 Now therefore, O ye mighty kings,
be wise in what ye do,

[Page]
And ye the judges of the earth
instructed be also.

verse 11 Serve ye now with a Sonly fear
the LORD your only choise;
With trembling also reverently
at his service rejoice.


verse 12 Kisse ye the Son, lest he with you
be angry still alway,
And when his wrath but kindled is,
ye perish from the way;

Most blessed ever are all they
that in their grief and smart
Do constantly on him rely,
and trust with all their heart.

PSAL. III.

LOrd, how are they increased thus
that that sore do trouble me.
They who against me now rise up,
in number many be.


verse 2 There many be who in disdain
thus of my soul do say,
For him in the almighty GOD,
there is no help alway.

[Page]


verse 3 But thou, O LORD, most mighty art
a shield for me indeed,
My glory, and in troubles great
the lifter of mine head.


verse 4 Unto the LORD, I with my voice
in prayer cryed still,
And he me heard then by and by
out of his holie hill.

verse 5 With confidence I laid me down,
and slept most quietlie,
I als awaked, for the LORD
alwayes sustained me.


verse 6 I surely will not be afraid
of thousands ten most stout
Of people, that have set themselves
against me round about.

verse 7 A rise, O LORD, save me my GOD
for thou my foes didst smite
On the check bone: th'ungodlies teeth
thou brok'st in pieces quite.


verse 3 Salvation Surely doth unto
the Lord belong alone,

[Page]
Thy blessing also plentifull
thy people is upon.

PSAL. IV.

O Thou GOD of my righteousnesse
when I do call give ear,
Inlarg'd thou hast me from distresse,
my prayer in mercy hear.


verse 2 O sons of men! How long will ye
my glory turn to shame?
How long will ye love vanitie,
and leesing seek to frame?

verse 3 But know that for himself the Lord,
th'ungodly one and all
Hath set apart; the LORD will hear
when I unto him call.


verse 4 Stand now in aw and sin no more,
and common ye with skill,
With your own heart upon your bed
and be ye alwayes still,

verse 5 The sacrifice of righteousnesse
now offer which is just,

[Page]
And in the great and mighty Lord
put ye alwayes your trust.


verse 6 Who will to us shew any good,
there many be that say?
LORD, of thy countenance the light
lift up on us alway.

verse 7 Thou surely gladnesse in my heart
hast put by thy good will,
More then in times their corns & wine
increased alwayes still.


verse 8 I will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep exceeding well,
For thou LORD only dost me make
in safety for to dwell.

PSAL. V.

GIve ear unto my words O Lord,
my meditation weigh,


verse 2 Hear thou my cry my King my God
for I to thee will pray.


verse 3 Thou in the morning shalt my voice
Lord heare by thy goodwill;
At morning to thee will I pray
and look up to thee still.

[Page]


verse 4 For thou art not a God that pleasd
with wickednesse can'st be,
Nor yet evill at any time,
shall dwell at all with thee.


verse 5 The foolish people in thy sight
stand stedfast never shall,
The workers of iniquitie,
thou surelie hatest all.

verse 6 Them that are leesing giv'n to speak
thou wilt destroy therefore,
The bloody and deceitfull man
God alwayes will abhorre.


verse 7 But in thy mercies multitude
come to thy house I will,
Thy Temple towards in thy feare
I will thee worship still.

verse 8 O Lord God, in thy righteousnesse
me lead now I thee pray:
Because of foes; before my face
make thou now straight thy way.


verse 9 For in their mouth no treuth there is
their inward's alwayes ill,

[Page]
Their throat's an open sepulchre
their tongues do flatter still.

verse 10 O God, who ever righteous art
destroy them great and small:
Let them with shame & grief of heart
by their own counsels fall.
Cast them out in the multitude
of their transgressions hie,
For in great wickednesse they have
rebelled against thee.

verse 11 But let all those that put their trust
in thee rejoice alway,
Let them for joy in every part,
most gladly shout for ay.
Because that thou them by thy hand
defendest as they see.
Let them also that love thy name
be joyfull still in thee.

verse 12 For thou, O Lord, the righteous man
wilt blesse both in and out,
With favour thou as with a shield,
wilt compasse him about.

[Page]

PSALME VI.

O Lord, while thou in anger art,
me then rebuke thou not;
Nor yet me chasten for my sins,
in thy displeasure hote.


verse 2 Have mercy upon me O LORD,
for I am weake truelie;
O LORD me heale, for all my bones
with paine still vexed be.

verse 3 My soul also in trouble great
is all my foes among,
Sore vexed ev'n continually,
but thou, O LORD, how long?


verse 4 Returne, O LORD, deliver now
my soul distressde and weak,
Oh, save me by thy mighty hand,
even for thy mercies sake.

verse 5 For of thee in the place of death
there no remembrance be;
Who lying dead within the grave,
shall thanks give unto thee?


verse 6 I wearied with my groning am,
all night I fill'd with fears

[Page]
Do make my bed to swim: my couch
I water with my teares.

verse 7 Mine eye consumed is because
of grief and many woes;
It in this case still waxeth old
because of all my foes.


verse 8 Depart from me ye wicked all
that worke iniquity.
For the LORD o
 [...] my weepping now
hath heard the voice and cry.

verse 9 The LORD my supplication now
hath heard as I did crave,
The LORD the prayer that I make
will lovingly receive.


verse 10 Let all mine enmies be asham'd
and vexed sore by thee,
Let them returne, and suddenly
ashamed also be.

PSAL. VII.

O Lord my God most gracious still,
I put my trust in thee,
From all them that me persecute
save and deliver me.

[Page]


verse 2 Lest like a Lion he my soule
teare, and in pieces small
It rent, while to deliver me
there is none found at all.

verse 3 O LORD my GOD if any way
this hath been done by me,
Or if at all within my hands,
iniquity there be.


verse 4 If him that was at peace with me,
I ill rewarded so,
Yea, I have him deliv'red that
is without cause my so.

verse 5 Let th'enmie still pursue my soul
and take it, let him thrust
My life down on the earth, and lay
mine honour in the dust.


verse 6 Rise, Lord, in wrath, lift up thy self
my foes rage to withstand,
Awake to judgement, that for me
thou wisely didst command.

verse 7 The peoples congregation so
about thee compasse shall;

[Page]
Return thou for their sakes therefore
on high set over all.


verse 8 The Lord shall all the people judge,
O Lord, als judge thou me;
According to my righteousnesse,
and mine integritie.

verse 9 Oh, let the wickeds malice end,
but stablish stedfastly
The just man; for the righteous GOD
the hearts and reins doth try.


verse 10 In all my troubles my defence
of GOD is in each part,
Which saveth by his mighty hand
the man upright in heart.

verse 11 GOD judgeth in his mercy great
the righteous men alway,
And God with those that wicked are
is angry every day.


verse 12 If surely he turne not again,
his sword then whet he will;
He hath his bow in anger bent,
and ready made it still.

[Page]


verse 13 He hath aso prepar'd for him
the instruments of death,
Against the persecutors he
his arrows ordain'd hath.


verse 14 Behold, he with iniquitie
doth travell as in birth,
And hath conceived a mischief,
and falsehood hath brought foorth

verse 15 He made a pit and digged it
the righteous there to take,
And he into the ditch is fall'n,
which he himself did make.


verse 16 His mischief all most surely shall
return on his own head,
His violent dealing shall come downe
on his own pate with speed.

verse 17 According to his righteousnesse,
now praise the LORD I will:
And to the name of GOD most high,
I will sing praises still.

PSAL. VIII.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
is in the earth thy name

[Page]
Who hast thy glory set above
the bright heavens fairest frame.


verse 2 Out of the mouth of suckling babes
thou hast ordained strength,
Because of foes that thou mightst still
th'avenging fo at length.

verse 3 When I the heav'ns consider well
thy fingers works that be,
The Moon, and likewise all the Stars,
that were ordain'd by thee.


verse 4 What is poor man that thou of him
should'st thus so mindfull be?
Or what the son of man that thou
him visits with thine eye?

verse 5 For even a little lower him
then Angels thou hast made,
With glory, and with honour als
thou crowned hast his head.


verse 6 Thou mad'st him have dominion ov'r
the great works of thine hand,
Under his feet thou hast all things
put both of sea and land.

[Page]


verse 7 All sheep to him obedience give,
and oxen service yeeld,
Yea, which is more him still obey
the beasts of all the field.


verse 8 The foules of th'air, and of the sea
the fishes more or lesse,
And whatsoever of the seas
still through the paths do passe.

verse 9 O Lord, our Lord those mighty wor
 [...]
do high extoll thy fame,
How excellent in all the earth
is thy most glorious name?

PSAL. IX.

WIth my whole hart I wil, O Lord
thee praise for ever still:
Thy works that are all marveilous,
shew foorth I alwayes will.


verse 2 I surely alwayes will be glade,
and als rejoice in thee,
I will sing praise unto thy name,
O thou who art most Hie.

verse 3 When all mine en'mies quickly a
 [...]
turn'd back for their offence

[Page]
They shal down fall; and perish all
at thy divine Presence.


verse 4 For wel my right and cause thou hast
maintain'd even in our sight,
Thou as a King sat'st on the Throne,
there alwayes judging right.

verse 5 The heathen thou rebuked hast
the wicked thou with shame
Destroyed hast, for ever thou
hast quite put out their name.


verse 6 O en'mie, come destructions are
to end perpetuall;
Thou cities raz'd; perish'd with them
is their memoriall.

verse 7 But God the Lord, most righteous shal
for ever still endure,
With equity he hath prepar'd
his throne for judgement sure,


verse 8 And he this world all wel shal judge
in perfect righteousnesse,
He als shall to the people give
judgement in uprightnesse.

[Page]


verse 9 The LORD will be a sure refuge
for those whom men oppresse,
He a refuge will be in times
of trouble and distresse.


verse 10 And they that know thy blesse nam
 [...]
will put their trust in thee,
For thou hast not forsaken them
that seek sincerely thee.

verse 11 To GOD that doth in Sion dwel
 [...]
sing praises every where:
Among the people of the earth,
his doings now declare.


verse 12 When he strict inquisition
to make for blood is set
He thinks on them; the humbles cry
he never doth forget

verse 13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD,
weigh how my hater hath
Me troubled sore, thou that me lift
up from the gates of death.


verse 14 That still in Sions daughters gate
thy praise shew forth I may;

[Page]
In thy salvation of great price
I will rejoice alway.

verse 15 The heathen all in their own pit
sunk down are at the last,

 [...]n the same net which they did hide
their own foot's taken fast.


verse 16 By judgement which he executes,
the LORD is known in this,
Ev'n in the works of his own hands
the wicked snared is.

verse 17 The wicked shall be into hell
ev'n turned from his seat,
And all the nations that the LORD
unthankfully forget.


verse 18 For the needy not surely shall
forgotten be alway,
The expectation of the poor
not perish shall for ay.

verse 19 Arise, O Lord, and let not man
prevail by his great might,
Let all the heathen people now
be judged in thy sight▪

[Page]


verse 20 O Lord almighty in great fear
put thou them very low,
That so themselves to be but men
the Nations all may know.

PSAL. X.

WHy in thine anger fierce, O Lor
 [...]
thus standest thou afar?
Why hidest thou thyself from us
when times of troubles are?


verse 2 The wicked in his pride the poor
doth persecute greatlie,
In plots which they imagin'd have
let them all taken be.

verse 3 For of his hearts desire alwayes
the wicked man doth boast,
And blesseth als the covetous man
whom GOD abhorreth most.


verse 4 Throgh the pride of his countenant
the wicked great or small
Will not seek GOD; in all his though
the LORD is not at all.

verse 5 His wayes alwayes most grievous a
 [...]
thy judgements where he goes

[Page]
Are far above out of his sight,
he puffs at all his foes.


verse 6 He hath said in his foolish heart,
I shall not moved be,
For I shall never in this life
be in adversitie.

verse 7 Great cursing, and deceit, and fraud
his wicked mouth do fill,
Under his tongue mischief alwayes
and vanitie are still.


verse 8 He lurking sits in villages,
in secret places he
Kills th'innocent, he'gainst the poor
his eyes sets privilie.

verse 9 Hee in his den lies lion like,
in waite he lyes secret:
To catch the poore, he him doth catch
when drawn into his net.


verse 10 With great deceit he croucheth down,
himself he humbleth all,
That by his strong ones at the last
the poor may surely fall.

[Page]


verse 11 He foolish hath said in his heart▪
God hath most certainlie
Forgotten all; he hides his face,
he will it never see.


verse 12 Arise, O Lord, make hast, O GO
 [...]
lift up thy mightie hand,
Forget not in thine anger great
the humble of the land.

verse 13 Wherfore doth wicked man in spi
 [...]
GOD to contemne desire?
He hath said in his foolish heart,
thou wilt it not require.


verse 14 Thou hast it all most clearly seen
for thou mischief and spite
Beholdest, thou it with thy hand
in justice wilt requite:

The poor alwayes himself to thee
commits in his distresse;
Thou art alwayes the helper of
those that be fatherlesse.


verse 15 The arme of ill and wicked me
break thou in pieces small,

[Page]
And seek out all his wickednesse,
till thou finde none at all.

verse 16 The LORD for ever and for ay▪
is King for to command,
The heathen now are perish'd all
out of his holy land.


verse 17 LORD, of the humble the desire
thou hast heard with thine ear,
The wilt prepare their hearts, & thou
wilt cause thine ear to hear.

verse 18 That so thou may most rightly judge
the poor and fatherlesse,
That men who mighty are on earth
may no more them oppresse.

PSAL. XI.

I In the LORD do put my trust,
how to my soul, say yee,
Unto your mountain as a bird
see that ye swiftly flee?


verse 2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow,
their arrow als with art

[Page]
They fit, for privily to shoot
at the upright in heart.

verse 3 If the most strong foundations▪
of my subsisting 
 [...]o
Both shaken and destroyed be,
what can the righteous do?


verse 4 GOD in his holy Temple is,
the LORDS Throne is in heaven
His eyes behold, his eye-lids try
the children of all men.

verse 5 The Lord alwayes the righteous
but wicked men and ill,
And him that loveth violence
his soul hates ever still.


verse 6 Upon the wicked, snares, and f
 [...]
and brimstone raine he shall,
And tempest fierce; this of theire
shall be the portion all.

verse 7 For the most righteous LORD
in righteousnesse delight,
His countenance most joyfully
beholdeth the upright.

[Page]

PSALME XII.

HElp Lord for that the godly man
doth cease to be for ay,
For from among mens children all
the faithfull fail alway.


verse 2 Each one doth with his neighbour speak
great words of vanitie,
They speak even with a double heart,
and lips that flattring be.

verse 3 The Lord all lips shall quite cut off,
that flattring favour seek,
And als the tongue that proud things still
presumptuously doth speak.


verse 4 Who have said, with our tongues we will
prevail even thus and thus,
Our lips most surely are our own;
who is LORD over us?

verse 5 For the oppression of the poor
and sighs of needy still
I'le rise saith God; from him that puffs
him safely set I will.


verse 6 The words of God are words most pure,
as silver that is try'd

[Page]
In a furnace that is of earth,
ev'n sev'n times purify'd.

verse 7 Thou shalt, O LORD, by thy gre
 [...] mig
 [...]
them safely keep together;
Thou from this generation all
shalt them preserve for ever.


verse 8 The most profane and wicked me
now walk on every side,
When vilest men in honour great
exalted still abide.

PSAL. XIII.

HOw long wilt thou forget me Lor
 [...]
for ever shall this be?
How long wilt thou thus in thy wra
 [...]
still hide thy face from me?


verse 2 How long shall I take counsell in
my soul and dayly be
In sorrow? how long shall my foe
exalted be ov'r me?

verse 3 Consider now, O Lord, my God
and hear well what I say,
Lighten mine eyes lest that I sleep
the sleep of death alway.

[Page]
Left that mine enmie boast and say,
I have prevail'd him o're,

 [...]nd these that trouble me rejoice,
when I am moved sore.

verse 5 But I have ever trusted in
thy mercie, as my choise,
My heart in thy salvation shall
for evermore rejoice.


verse 6 I will now sing unto the Lord,
because that gracious he,
Most bountifully in my life
hath ever dealt with me,

PSAL. XIV.

THe fool hath said within his heart,
there is no GOD at all,
They are corrupt, they work mischief,
none doth good, great or small.


verse 2 The Lord look'd down from heaven upon
mens children in each part,
To see if any understood;
and sought God with their heart.

verse 3 They altogether filthie are,
they all aside are gone,

[Page]
There is none that doth good at all,
yea truelie no not one.


verse 4 Have workers of iniquitie
no knowledge sound at all,
Who eat my people up as bread,
and on the LORD not call?

verse 5 There were they alwaies h great fea
 [...]
for GOD who is most hie:
Is in the generation still,
of those that righteous be.


verse 6 In your great pride ye shamed hav
 [...]
the counsell of the poor,
Because the Lord in his distresse
is his refuge most sure.

verse 7 O that the great salvation,
of Israel 
 [...]ound about:
Were by the Lords almighty hand,
of Sion now come out.
When of his people back the LORD,
brings the captivitie,
Then Jacob greatlie shall rejoice,
and Israel glad shall be.

[Page]

PSALME XV.

LOrd who within thy Tabernacle
abide shall ever still?
Who blessed shall for ever dwell
in thy most holy hill?


verse 2 He that still walketh uprightly,
and als in ev'ry part
Works righteousnes, & speaks the truth
as it is in his heart.

verse 3 He that backbites not with his tongue
nor doth his neighbour ill,
Nor 'gainst his neighbour a reproch
to take up hath a will.


verse 4 In whose eyes is a person vile
contemn'd; but God who feare
He honours; and not changeth, though
to his own hurt he sweare.

And he that sweareth faithfully,
in matters great or small
Though to his own hurt, yet for this
he changeth not at all.


verse 5 He that his money not at all
puts out to usurie,

[Page]
Nor takes reward against the just,
such shall not moved be.

PSAL. XVI.

PReserve me by thy mighty hand,
O GOD, who art most just,
For in thee, who dost never fail,
I still do put my ttust.


verse 2 Unto the LORD, O thou my soul
hast said, most certainlie
Thou art my Lord, my goodnesse her
extendeth not to thee.

verse 3 But unto them that on the earth
dear Saints are in thy sight,
And to them that are Excellent,
in whom's all my delight.


verse 4 Their sorrows greatly here shall be
even multipli'd at last,
Who still after another god
most foolishlie make hast:

Their drink offrings of blood will I
not offer great or small,
Nor yet will I take up their names
into my lips at all.

[Page]


verse 5 Of mine inheritance the LORD
is the rich portion still,
And of my cup thou dost maintaine
my lot, by thy good will.

verse 6 In pleasant places are the lines
now fallen unto me,
Yea, I a goodly heritage
already have from thee.


verse 7 I'le blesse Lord, who unto me
hath given his counsell right,
My reins me also do instruct
in seasons of the night.

verse 8 I have alwayes before me set
the LORD that is most Hie;
Because he is at my right hand,
I shall not moved be,


verse 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and als
my glory alwayes blest
Rejoiceth much: my flesh also
in hope shall safely rest.

verse 10 For thou my soul wilt not in hell
leave there alwayes to be,

[Page]

And visited hast also me

verse 4 Concerning works of wicked men,
by the word taught by thee,
From paths of the destroyer I

verse 5 My goings alwayes in thy paths
in mercy still hold up,
That my footsteps in all thy wayes
directed may not slip.

verse 6 I called have on thee, O GOD,
for sure thou wilt me hear:
O hear my speach, and unto me
incline thy gracious ear.


verse 7 Thy marv'lous loving kindnesse shew
thou that by thy right hand
Sav'st them that put their trust in thee
from those that them gainstand.

verse 8 O keep me, Lord, now and protect
as th'apple of the eye,
Under the shaddow of thy wings
most closelie hide thou me.


verse 9 From wicked men who ever still
me to oppresse are stout,

Even from my deadly en'mies all
who compasse me about.

verse 10 Inclosed they are alwayes in
their own fat at their will,
They with their mouth great swellin

with boast speak proudly still.


verse 11 Those men have us now in our step
compassed with deceit,
And craftilie they bowing down
their eyes on earth have set.

verse 12 Like as a cruell Lion that
is greedy of his prey,
And a young Lion lurking which
in places hid doth stay.


verse 13 Quicklie arise, him disappoint,
and cast him down, O LORD,
My soul now from the wicked save,
which surely is thy sword.

verse 14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD,
from men whose daylie strife

[Page]
Is for this world, which only have
their portion in this life,
Whose bellie with thy treasure hid
thou fillest of the best:
They full of children, to their babes
leave of their wealth the rest.

verse 15 As for me, I in righteousnesse
thy face will surely see,
With thy likenesse when I awake
I satisfi'd shall be.

PSAL. XVII.

O Lord that chiefly art my strength,

The LORD my rock and fortresse is,

My God, my strength in whom I trust

So in all dangers I shall be

verse 4 The sorrowes great of fearfull death
me compassd all dismaid,
And of ungodly men the floods
made me to be afraid.

verse 5 Of hell the sorrowes alwayes did
me compasse fearfullie,
The snares of death with trembling fea

and grief prevented me.


verse 6 I in distresse call'd on the LORD,
and cry'd to GOD with teares,
He from his Temple heard my voice,
my cry came to his eares.

verse 7 Then shook the earth, & trembled a

the hills foundations both
Were mov'd, and als they shaken wer

because that he was wroth.


verse 8 Out of his nostrils there went up
a smoak most fearfully,
And from his mouth a fire devour'd:
coales kindled were thereby.

verse 9 He also bow'd the heav'ns and cam

down in a way most meet,

[Page]
And darknes which was black & thick
there under was his feet.


verse 10 And he upon a Cherub rode,
and did most swiftly flie:
Yea, on the wings he of the wind
did flie with Majestie.

verse 11 He darknesse made his secret place,
his pau'lion round about
Were waters dark, and of the skies
thick clouds all stretched out.


verse 12 At the brightnesse that him before
was in his fearfull ire,
His thick clouds passed here and there,
hailstones and coales of fire.

verse 13 The Lord als thūdred in the heav'ns
the Highest every where
Then gave his voice, hailstones & coals
of fire that flamming were.


verse 14 Yea he sent out his arrowes, and
them scattred great and small,
And he shot out his lightnings bright,
and them discomfit'd all.

[Page]


verse 15 The chanels of the waters deep
all seen then clearly were:
And als the worlds foundations all
discovered were each where:
At thy rebuke all this was done
most powerfully, O LORD,
Even at the fearfull blast of breath
thy nostrils did afford.

verse 16 His readie help he from above
did send by his command,
Hee out of many waters me
drew by his mighty hand.


verse 17 He f

most safely set me free,
From thē which did me hate; for the

verse 18 Of my calamitie they did
prevent me in the day,
But the LORD in his mercie great
was ever still my stay.


verse 19 He also a large place into
me brought forth by his might,

[Page]
He did deliver me, because
he did in me delight.

verse 20 According to my righteousnesse
the LORD rewarded me:
After the cleannesse of my hands
me recompensd hath he.


verse 21 For of the LORD I have the wayes
well keept with all my heart,
And from my God I wickedly
would not at all depart.

verse 22 For all his judgements of great weight
were ever me before,
And I his statutes not a way
did put from me therefore.


verse 23 I also was upright and true
before him in my way,
And I from mine iniquitie
did keep my self alway.

verse 24 Therefore after my righteousnesse
GOD recompenc'd hath me,
According as his eyes have seen
my hands cleannesse to be.

verse 25 Thou wilt shew with the mercif

And with a man upright thou wilt
even shew thy self upright.

verse 26 Thou with the pure thy selfe w

And with the froward thou thy self
wilt froward shew alwayes.


verse 27 For thou the people poor wilt sa

And also wilt bring down at length
the lookes that are so hie.

verse 28 For thou in thy great mercy wil

my candle clearly light;
The LORD my GOD enlighten will
my darknesse all made bright.


verse 29 For I by thee even through a tro

have run, not hurt at all;
And by my GOD I with great force
have leaped ov'r a wall.

verse 30 As for GOD, perfect is his way,
GODS word is surely try'd;

[Page]
He to all those that trust in him
a buckler doth abide.


verse 31 For who is God except the LORD?
yea, surely there is none:
Or who for safety is a rock
except our GOD alone?

verse 32 It is God onely in his love,
that grideth me with strength,
And maketh also all my way
most perfect at the length.


verse 33 Like Hinds feet which most swiftly run
he makes my feet to be:
And by his hand he sets me up
upon my places hie.

verse 34 My hands to war against my foes
he teacheth, which they feel,
So that by the strength of mine arms
I break a bow of steel.


verse 35 The shield of thy salvation als
to me is given from thee:
Thy right hand up me held, and great
thy gentlenesse made me.

verse 36 Thou under me my steps hast no

enlarged by thy might:
So that my feet did not alwayes
slip from that which is right.


verse 37 Mine enmies I pursued have,
and overtaken slaine;
Untill they were consumed all
I turned not againe.

verse 38 I have them wounded, that th

Under my feet most shamefullie
they fallen are likewise.


verse 39 For thou hast girded me with strēg

to battell 'gainst my foes:
Under my feet thou hast subdu'd
those that against me rose.

verse 40 Thou also hast given me the neck

of all my foes so great,
That with thy strength I might destr

them that me alwayes hate.


verse 41 They cri'd aloud, but there was no

Even unto the almighty LORD,
but he no answere gave.

I did them cast out as the dirt

verse 43 From peopls strivings thou me fredst
the heathens head thou me.

verse 44 Assoone as they shall hear of me,
they shall obey me all.
The strangers unto me submit

And out of their close places all

And under me the people all

yea, thou upliftest me
Above those rebels: thou me from

verse 11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and
me alwayes in the path
That's plain, because against me sti

verse 12 Unto the will of th'enmies of

For false men 'gainst me rise and s

And he shal strengthen wel thine heart:

PSAL. XXVIII.

O Lord my rock, to thee I'll cry,
not silent be to me,
Lest 
I be like men down in pit,
if thou now silent be.


verse 2 My supplications voice hear thou
when I unto thee cry,
When to thine holy Oracle
mine hands 
I lift on hye.

verse 3 With wicked men and doers ill
draw thou me not apart,
Which speak peace to their neighbours still
but mischief's in their heart


verse 4 Give them according to their deeds
and wickednesse at heart,
After the work of their own hands
them render their desert.

verse 5 Because Gods works they not regard
not th' operation all

Ev'n of his hands, he them destr

but not build up he shall.


verse 6 Now blessed be the LORD alw

because that surely he
Hath of my supplications all
the voice heard from on hie.

verse 7 The LORD he is my onely stre

and shield in time of need,
My heart in him did trust, and 
I
am helped well indeed:
Therefore my heart doth greatly
rejoice the saints among,
And als 
I will most thankfully
him praise still with my song.

verse 8 The LORD is still the onely stre

And he the saving strength also
of his Anointed is.

Feed them also by thy great migh

PSALME XXIX.

WIth all your heart give to the Lord,
O ye that mighty be,
Both strength and glory give unto
the LORD that is most Hie.
Unto the Lord the glory due,
unto his Name accord

 [...] the beauty of holinesse
now worship ye the Lord.

The Lords voice on the waters is:
the GOD of glory great

 [...] hundreth aloud; the Lord doth on
those many waters sit,
The voice of the almightie LORD
is powerfull, as we see,

 [...]he voice ev'n of the LORD alwaies
is full of Majestie.

The voice of the Almighty LORD
doth break the Cedars tall;

 [...] a Cedars great in Lebanon
God breaks in pieces small.
He makes them like a calf to skip
the loftie Lebanon,

[Page]
And like an Unicorn that's young
the mountain Sirion.

verse 7 The voice of the Almightie Lo

when he is in his ire,
Doth fiercely strike, cut, and divi

the hotest flams of fire.


verse 8 The voice of the LORD migh

the wildernesse doth shake,
The wildernesse of Kadesh he

discovering forrests bare,
And in his Temple every one
his glory doth declare.


verse 10 The Lord most glorious sits

PSALME XXX.

EXtoll thee Lord I will, for thou
hast lift me up on hie,
And hast not made my scorning foes
for to rejoice ov'r me.


verse 2 O Lord my God, in trouble great
I cryed unto thee,
And thou in mercie of my hurt
at last hast healed me.

verse 3 Lord thou my soul up from the grave
hast brought as thou though'st fit;
Thou hast me kept alive, that I
go not down to the pit.


verse 4 Oye his saints, unto the Lord
now sing with chearfulnesse,
And at the remembrance give thanks
of all his holinesse.

verse 5 His anger for a moment lasts,
his favour life doth bring,
Tears in the night may be, but joy
comes in the morning spring.


verse 6 And I most foolish rashly said,
in my prosperitie,

[Page]
I am so stablish'd fast that I
shall never moved be.

verse 7 Lord by thy favour thou hast m

my mountain in its place
Strong for to stand; I troubled wa

when thou didst hide thy face


verse 8 O LORD, I unto thee alwayes
most fervently did cry,
And I my supplication made
unto the LORD most hie.

verse 9 What profite is there in my blo

when naked 
I and bare
Go down to pit? Shal dust thee p

shall it thy truth declare?


verse 10 Now hear me Lord, for it is

and on me mercy have,
In this distresse, Lord be thou still
my helper me to save.

verse 11 My mourning into dancing no

is turned all by thee,
Thou hast put off my sackcloath,
with gladnesse girded me.

verse 12 To th'end my tōgue may to thee sing
praise, and not silent be:
O LORD, my GOD, for ever I
will thanks give unto thee.

PSAL. XXXI.

LOrd, let me never be asham'd,
who puts my trust in thee;
Now in thy perfect righteousnesse
do thou deliver me.


verse 2 Bow down thine ear to me with speed
let me deliv'rance have;
Be thou my strong rock for an house
of defence me to save.

verse 3 For thou in dangers art my rock,
and fortresse on each side,
Therefore me lead for thy Names sake,
and wisely still me guide.
Pull me out of the net that they
laide for me privily,
For thou alone art my great strength
whereon I do rely.

verse 5 Into thine hand I do commit
my sprite, which came from thee,

[Page]
O LORD, who art the GOD of trut
 [...]
thou hast redeemed me


verse 6 I have them hated with my heart
that in their wayes unjust
Still lying vanities regard;
but in the LORD I trust.

verse 7 I in thy mercy will rejoice,
for thou my miseries
Considered hast, and known my fou
 [...]
in great adversities.


verse 8 And hast not shut me up into
his hand that is my foe;
Thou hast my feet most freely set
in a large rowm to goe.

verse 9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord,
for in trouble am I,
Mine eye with grief consum'd is,
my soul, and my belly.


verse 10 For my whole life with grief is sp
 [...]
and yeers with sighs and grones,
My strength doth fail, and for my sin
 [...]
consumed are my bones.

[Page]


verse 11 I a reproach was to my foes,
to neighbours speciallie,
And to mine acquaintance a fear,
who saw me, fled from me.


verse 12 I am forgoten as a man
that's out of minde and dead,
also like a vessell am
that's broken all indeed.

verse 13 Of many I the slander heard,
each where me fear supprisde:
While they took counsell, they my life
to take away devisde.
But I, O Lord, in thee alwayes
did trust with all my heart,
And, the in great confidence
mine only God thou art.

 [...] yea times are in thy hand, now from

 [...]y foes hands set me free,
And frō all them who with great rage
are persecuting me.
Thy glorious face to shine upon
thy servant brightly make.

[Page]
And save me in my troubles great
ev'n for thy mercies sake.

verse 17 Let me not be asham'd, O Lor
 [...]
for on thee call'd I have;
Let wicked men be all asham'd
and silent in the grave.


verse 18 All lying lips to silence put,
which greevous things do spe
 [...]
Both proudly and contemptuously
'gainst righteous men and meek

verse 19 How great's thy goodnes which 
 [...]
laid up for who thee fear,
And wrought for thē that in thee 
 [...]
before mens children here.


verse 20 Thou shalt them in the secret hi

of thy presence from wrongs
Of mans pride, and close in a tent
them keep from strife of tongue

verse 21 For ever blessed be the Lord,
for he to me so long
Hath shew'd his kindnesse marvel
 [...]
within a citie strong.

[Page]


verse 22 For I said in my hast, I am
cut off before thine eye,
Neverthelesse thou heardst my voice,
when 
I cri'd unto thee.

verse 23 O love the Lord all ye his Saints
for God the faithfull guards.
And plentifully he also
the proud doer rewards.


verse 24 Be of good courage ever still
and he shall strength afford
Unto your weari'd heart: all ye
that hope still in the LORD.

PSAL. XXXII.

HE is most surely blessed whose
transgression great or small
In mercy freely is forgiv'n,
whose sin is covered all.


verse 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord
iniquitie most vile
Imputeth not: and in whose sprit
at all there is no guile.

verse 3 When I kept silence foolishly;
my bones my grones among

[Page]
Still through my roaring waxed old,
and that all the day long,


verse 4 For alwayes day and night thy ha
 [...]
did on me heavy ly:
My moisture thus is turn'd into
the drought of Summer dry.

verse 5 My grievous sin I then anone
acknowledg'd unto thee,
And als I have not hid at all
my great iniquitie:
I said, 
I my transgressions all
will to the Lord confesse,
And thou forgivest of my sin
the fearfull guiltinesse.

verse 6 For this in times thou maist be fo
 [...]
the godly to thee all
Shall pray; in floods of waters gr

not near him come they shall.


verse 7 Thou art my hiding place, thou 
 [...]
from trouble
 [...] make me free,
With sweet songs of deliverance
thou shalt encompasse me.

[Page]


verse 8 I will instruct thee and thee teach
the way that thou shalt go.
And I with mine all seeing eye,
will guide thee well also.


verse 9 Be not thou like unto the horse
or mule that wanteth wit.
Whose mouth lest they come neer thee must
be held with bridle and bit.

verse 10 Much sorrowes unto wicked men
shall be the earth throughout:
But mercy him that trusts in GOD
shall compasse round about


verse 11 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoice
and glad be in each part:
And also shout for joy all ye
that upright are in heart.

PSAL. XXXIII.

O In the LORD alwayes rejoice
ye righteous in his sight.
For praise is comely for all those
that are in heart upright.


verse 2 Praise ye the Lord now with the harpe
with psaltrie to him sing,

[Page]
And also with an instrument
that hath a tenfold string.

verse 3 Unto him a new pleasant song
sing with your heart and voice,
Play also now most skilfully
with a loud sounding noice,


verse 4 For the good word of God the Lo
 [...]
is faithfull still and right.
And all his glorious workes in truth
are done by his great might.

verse 5 He righteousnesse with all his hea
 [...]
and judgement loveth still:
The goodnesse of the Lord our God
the earth doth ever fill.


verse 6 By the word of the mighty Lor
 [...]
the heav'ns created were,
And by the breath even of his mo
 [...]
their host all every where.

verse 7 He gathreth waters of the sea
together as an heap,
And as in store houses also
he layeth up the deep.

[Page]


verse 8 Let all the earth now humbly fear
the LORD, and keep his law,
Let all the earths inhabitants
still of him stand in aw.

verse 9 For he spake in his mighty power,
and it was done at last,
As he desir'd he did command,
and it alwayes stood fast,


verse 10 The Lord to noght the counsel brings
which heathen men project,
The peoples vain devices all
he makes of none effect.

verse 11 The counsell of the Lord doth stand
for ever free of fall,
Yea, of his heart the thoughts shal last
to generations all.


verse 12 Blest is the nation whose GOD is
the LORD them to advance.
And people whom he chosen hath
for his inheritance.

verse 13 The Lord from heav'n that is above
down looketh with his eye,

[Page]
He all the sons of men below
most clearly thence doth see.


verse 14 From of his habitation high,
the place that doth excell,
He looketh down on those alwayes
that on the earth do dwell.

verse 15 He fashioneth also all their hea
 [...]
alike both great and small;
Their works als, whether good or 
 [...]
he them considreth all.


verse 16 There is no king whom of an h

the multitude can save,
And by much strength a mighty ma
 [...]
can no deliv'rance have.

verse 17 For mans safety a thing most 
 [...]
an horse is seen at length,
Not any he deliver shall
by his great power and strength


verse 18 Behold the Lords eye ever is
upon them that him fear,
Ev'n on them still that do alwayes
hope in his mercy heer.

[Page]


verse 19 For to deliver safe their soul
even from the jawes of death,
And als to keep them safe alive
in famine free of wrath.


verse 20 Our soul still alwayes for the LORD
waits till he comfort send;
In dangers all he is our help,
and shield us to defend.

verse 21 For in him gladly shall our heart
rejoice without all blame,
Because we surely trusted have
in his most holy name.


verse 22 Let thy mercy, O gracious LORD
upon us ever be,
According as with all our heart
we still do hope in thee.

PSAL. XXXIV.

AT all times I will surely blesse
the LORD so good to me,
His worthy praise within my mouth
continually shall be.


verse 2 My soul shall alwayes in the LORD
her boast make surely heere,

[Page]
The humble shall in heart be glade
when they thereof shall hear.

verse 3 O magnifie alwayes with me
the LORD of glorious fame,
And let us altogether now
exalt his holy name.


verse 4 I sought the Lord with all my he
 [...]
and he my sute did hear,
And he anone deliv'red me
from all that I did fear.

verse 5 They looked unto him with spe
 [...]
and lightned were by grace,
In all their troubles great was not
ashamed once their face.


verse 6 This poor man to the Lord did 
 [...]
who heard when he did call,
And by his mighty arme him sav'd
out of his troubles all.

verse 7 The Angel of the mighty LORD
encampeth round about
Them that him fear, and he them
 [...]
delivreth in or out.

[Page]


verse 8 O taste and see now that the Lord
is good in every part,
Most blessed is the man that doth
trust in him with his heart.

verse 9 O fear the Lord all ye who are
his saints that serve him heer,
For sure there is no want to them
that truely him do fear.


verse 10 The Lions young do often lack,
and hungry want their food,
But they that humblie seek the Lord
shall want nothing that's good.

verse 11 Come hither children unto me,
and to my words give ear,
I will you teach, that ye may know
how ye the Lord should fear.


verse 12 What man is he that doth desire
his life heer long to be?
And also loveth many dayes,
that so he good may see?

verse 13 From ill thy tongue keep; with thy lips
from speaking guile eshew;

[Page]


verse 14 Depart from evill, and doe goo
 [...]
seeke peace and it pursue.


verse 15 The eyes of God are fix'd upon
the righteous by and by,
His eares also in troubles great
are open to their cry.

verse 16 The face als of the LORD is ay
against them that do ill;
For their remembrance from the ear
 [...]
all to cut off and spill.


verse 17 The righteous cry, and als the Lo
 [...]
doth hear them when they call,
And by his might deliv'reth them
out of their troubles all.

verse 18 The Lord is surelie neer to them
that are of broken heart,
And saveth such as be in sprit
contrite in any part.


verse 19 Th'afflictions of the righteous 
 [...]
they surelie many be,
But him out of them all the Lord
deliv'reth as we see.

[Page]


verse 20 He most safely ev'n all his bones
keeps, whether great or small,
That not so much as one of them
can broken be at all.


verse 21 The wicked and malicious men
evill shall most surelie stay,
And they that hate the righteous shall
be desolate for ay.

verse 22 Of his servants the Lord the soul
redeemeth graciouslie,
And none of them that trust in him
as desolate shall be.

PSAL. XXXV.

PLead 
y
u my cause, O Lord, with them
that strive with me upright,
Fight on my side against them all
that still against me fight.


verse 2 In my defence take hold of shield,
and buckler in thy hand,
And by thy mercies manifold,
up for my help now stand.

verse 3 Draw out the spear and stop the way
'gainst them that me to shame

[Page]
Thus persecute; say to my soul

I thy salvation am.


verse 4 Let them confounded be that see
my soul, to shame them put;
Let them turn back confused all
that do devise my hurt.

verse 5 Let them as chaffe before the wi

be driv'n from place to place,
And let the Angel of the LORD
them in his anger chase.


verse 6 Let still their way be slippry heer,
and dark, that they may fall,
And let the Angel of the Lord
ev'n persecute them all.

verse 7 For without cause they have for
hid in a pit their net,
Which without cause ev'n for mys

they digged have and set.


verse 8 Let unawars destruction him
take, let his net withall
Which he hid, catch himself; in the
destruction let him fall.

[Page]


verse 9 And thus my soul shall in the Lord
be joyfull ev'ry way:
In his most sure salvation still
it shall rejoice alway.


verse 10 Yea all my bones in this my joy
at last shall say in me,
Lord thou who guids all things below,
who is like unto thee?

Who dost the poor deliver still
from him that is too strong,
Yea both the poor and needle als
from spoilers that him wrong.


verse 11 False witnesses, Lord, did rise up
with calumnies untrue,
They in their rage laid to my charge
the things I never knew.

verse 12 They in their malice ill for good
me alwayes did reward,
Ev'n to the very spoiling of
my soul without regard.


verse 13 But as for me when they were sick,
I cloath'd with sackcloth mourn'd;

[Page]
My soul with fasting humbled I,
to me my prayer return'd.

verse 14 I did behave myself as he
had been my friend or brother
I heavilie bow'd down as one
that mourneth for his mother


verse 15 But they rejoic'd & gath'red 
 [...]
in mine adversitie,
Abjects gath'red, which I not kne

ceasde not from tearing me.

verse 16 With mockers hypocriticall
in feasts which them did fill,
In rage and fury with their teeth
they gnashed on me still.


verse 17 How long, Lord, wilt thou thus
my soul my darling dear?
From their destructions now rescu
 [...]
and from the Lions heer.

verse 18 In the great congregation I
will thank thee heartilie,
Among much people from mine 
 [...]
I will give praise to thee.

[Page]


verse 19 Let not my foes ov'r me rejoice
that wrongfully are set,
Nor who me hate without a cause
wink with the eye then let,

verse 20 For they of peace do never speak
but still they take in hand
Deceitfull matters 'gainst them that
are quiet in the land.


verse 21 Yea 'gainst me in my greatest grief
their mouths they op'ned wide,
Our eye now hath it clearly seen,
Aha, Aha, they cri'd.

verse 22 This clearly hast thou seen, O Lord,
therefore not silent be,
O LORD, in this my great distresse
now be not far from me.


verse 23 Stir up thy self, and now awake,
me judgement to afford,
Ev'n plead my cause against my foes,
my GOD and als my LORD.

verse 24 According to thy righteousnesse,
my LORD GOD judge thou me,

[Page]
And let them not in my distresse
ov'r me rejoiced be.


verse 25 Let them not say within their he
 [...]
Ah, so we would it have;
Nor yet say we have swallowed u
 [...]
him ev'n as we do crave.

verse 26 Sham'd and confounded be the
that joy my hurt to see,
Let shame and als disgrace them 
 [...]
who still insult ov'r me.


verse 27 Let them all shout most joyfull
and glade be every day,
That with good will do favour still
my righteous cause alway.

Continuallie yea let them say,
the Lord we magnifie,
Which alwayes pleasure hath in his
servants prosperitie.


verse 28 And of thy righteousnesse, I sh

speak alwayes with my tongue
And of thy praise I mention make
will ev'n all the day long.

PSALME XXXVI.

THe wicked mans transgressiō great
within my heart doth say,
That there is no true fear of God
before his eyes alway.


verse 2 For in his own eyes he himself
doth flatter foolishlie,
Till his iniquitie most vile
be hatefull found to be.

The words of his mouth are deceit
and great iniquitie,
He hath left off for to do good,
and also wife to be.
He great mischief upon his bed
deviseth ever still,

 [...]n wayes not good he sets himself,
he not abhorreth ill.

Thy mercy Lord is surely in
the heav'ns above our search,

 [...]nd like wise als thy faithfulnesse
unto the clouds doth reach.
Thy righteousnesse most surely is
like mountains great and steep.

[Page]
A great deep als thy judgements a
 [...]
thou man and beast dost keep.

verse 7 How excellent thy kindnesse is,
O GOD, which comfort brings
Therefore all men their trust put in
the shaddow of thy wings.


verse 8 They with the fatnesse of thy he
 [...]
well satisfied shall be:
Thou shalt make them of rivers d
 [...]
of pleasures come from thee.

verse 9 For sure of life the fountain is
ev'n ever still with thee,
In the light which is thine alway
 [...]
we clearly light shall see.


verse 10 Thy loving kindnesse unto the
 [...]
that know thee still impart,
And als thy righteousnesse to those
that upright are in heart.

verse 11 Let not the foot of pride now 
 [...]
me with disgrace to move,
Let not the hand of wicked men
me from my place remove.

[Page]


verse 12 The workers of iniquitie
there fallen are unwise:
They are cast down, and shal no more
be able for to rise.

PSAL. XXXVII.

FRet not thy self because of those
that evill doers be,
Nor yet envious be at such
as work iniquitie.


verse 2 For soon ev'n like unto the grasse
cut down shall they be all,
And like unto the herbe that's green
they surely wither shall.

verse 3 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
and carefullie do good,
And thou shalt dwell into the land
well fed with needfull food.


verse 4 Delight thy self in God also,
and he in every part
Most lovingly best desires
shall give thee of thy heart.

verse 5 In all affaires commit thy way
unto the LORD thy King;

[Page]
In him also trust thou alway
who it to passe shall bring.


verse 6 And as the light thy righteousnes
 [...]
he shall bring foorth alway,
And shal thy judgement clearly sh

as bright as the noon-day.

verse 7 Rest in the LORD with confidenc
 [...]
and without all debate
In every thing most patiently
see that for him thou wait.
Fret not thy self because of him
that prospreth in his way,
Because of him that brings to passe
devices ill alway.

verse 8 Cease from the rage of anger ho
 [...]
and wrath forsake thou still,
Fret not thy self in any wise
to do that which is ill.


verse 9 For those that evill doers be
shall be cut off in all,
And they that wait upon the Lord
the earth inherit shall.

[Page]


verse 10 For yet a little while, and loe
the wicked shall not be:
Yea thou his place consider shalt,
and it thou shalt not see.


verse 11 But all the meek inherit shall
the earth in every place,
And greatly shall delight themselves
in th'abundance of peace.

verse 12 The wicked man against the just
doth plot him for to kill.
And with his teeth most furiously
he gnasheth on him still.


verse 13 The Lord shall surely scorn & laugh
at him in all his way,
For he in heaven doth clearely see
that comming is his day.

verse 14 The wicked have drawn out their sword,
and bent their bow with might,
The poore and needy to cast down,
and to slay men upright.


verse 15 Their sword ev'n into their owne heart
most quickly enter shall,

[Page]
Their bones not able us to hurt,
shall als be broken all.

verse 16 A little that the righteous hath
is surely better then
The riches in abundance great
of many wicked men.


verse 17 For of the wicked folk the arme
shall ev'n be broken small:
But still the LORD in mercy great
upholds the righteous all.

verse 18 The Lord most perfectly doth kne
 [...]
the dayes of the upright:
And their inheritance shall be
for ever in his sight.


verse 19 They shall not be ashamed in
ev'll tymes of miserie,
And in the dayes of famine great
they satisfied shall be.

verse 20 But wicked men shall perish, and
Gods foes as lambs fat all
Shall be, they shall consume, to smo
 [...]
consume away they shall.

[Page]


verse 21 The wicked man doth borrow oft
and not again doth pay:
But still the righteous mercy shewes
and giveth much alway.

verse 22 For such as of him blessed be
the earth inherit shall,
And they that cursed be of him,
shall be cut off in all.


verse 23 A good mans steps are by the I
ev'n ordred well alway,
And he in loving kindnesse still
delighteth in his way.

verse 24 And though he fall, he utterly
shall not in all the land
Be too cast down, for that the LORD
upholds him with his hand.


verse 25 I have been young, and now am old
yet just men and their seed,
I have not thus forsaken seene,
as forc'd to beg their bread,

verse 26 He ever is most mercifull
when he sees men in neede,

[Page]
And also lendeth chearefully,
and blessed is his seede.


verse 27 Depart from ill with all thine he
and good doe more and more,
And thus through Gods protection
dwell thou for evermore.

verse 28 For well the Lord doth judgeme
 [...] lo
 [...]
such as are saints indeed
B
 [...] still preserv'd, but of ill men
cut off shall be the seed.


verse 29 The righteous all that fear the Lo
 [...]
inherit shall together
The pleasant land, and joyfully
shall dwell therein for ever.

verse 30 The mouth of him doth wisedo
 [...] spe
 [...]
that righteously doth walk,
His tongue also instructed still
of judgement sound doth talk.


verse 31 The law of his most gracious Go
 [...]
doth in his heart abide,
In whatsoever way he walks
none of his steps doth slide.

[Page]


verse 32 The wicked man the righteous 
 [...]
doth watch both night and day,
And by all means he can devise
he seeketh him to slay.


verse 33 The Lord will not him in his hand
leave, as some think amisse,
Nor yet for wicked him condemne.
even when he judged is.

verse 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
and thee exalt shall he
The land to have; when wicked are
cut off, thou shalt it see.


verse 35 The wicked very great in power
I have attentive scene,
And spreading forth himself at large,
like to a Lawrell greene.

verse 36 Yet he away did passe, and lo
he was not on his ground;
Yea, I him sought most carfully,
but he could not be found.


verse 37 The perfect man mark, and behold
the upright for a space,

[Page]
For after all his troubles past,

PSAL. XXXVII.I

O Lord though 'gainst thee 
 [...]
in wrath rebuke me not,
Nor yet severely chasten me
in thy displeasure hote.


verse 2 For thy sharp arrowes still do
fast in me more and more,
And als thy hand which heavy i

me presseth very sore,

[Page]


verse 3 There is no soundnesse by thy wrath
my troubled flesh within,
Nor in my bones is rest because
of my most grievous sin.


verse 4 For mine iniquities most vile
gone ov'r my head now be,
Even as a heavy burden they
too heavy are for me,

verse 5 My fearefull wounds are all corrupt
and stink in my distresse,
All this is come to me, because
of mine owne foolishnesse,


verse 6 I troubled am with sorrowes great,
and bowed downe alway,
So greatly that afflicted I
go mourning all the day.

verse 7 For a disease that loathsome is
my loines doth alwayes fill,
So that in all my weari'd flesh
there is no soundnesse still.


verse 2 I feeble am and broken sore:

I have in this my smart

[Page]
Ev'n roared still by reason of
disquietnesse of heart.

verse 9 O LORD my GOD, my whole de

is still before thine eye.
My heavy groning in my grief
is not now hid from thee.


verse 10 My heart doth pant, my streng
 [...] likew
 [...]
me faileth left alone;
As for the cleare light of mind eyes
it all is from me gone.

verse 11 My lovers and my friends aloof
from my sore standers are,
My kinsemen als, as I have proof,
do likewise stand a farre.


verse 12 Those also that do seek my life,
for me their snares do lay;
They speak mischief, and als deceit
imagine all the day.

verse 13 But as a deaf man I indeed,
heard neither great nor small,
And as one dumb I was, that his
mouth op'neth not at all.

[Page]


verse 14 Thus I was as a man that doth
not hear in any way:
And in whose silent mouth also
are no reproofes alway.

verse 15 For I in thee alone, O LORD,
do hope, most free of fear,
O LORD my GOD, when I do cry
thou surely wilt me hear.


verse 16 For I said, Hear me, lest that they
rejoice should over me;
They'gainst me when my foot doth slip
themselves do magnifie.

verse 17 For I sore troubled ready am
to halt ev'n more and more,
My sorrow als continually
is recent me before:


verse 11 For I sincerely will declare
my great iniquitie:
I alwayes for my grievous sin
will surely sorry be.

verse 19 But my malicious en'mies all
are lively, strong, and great;

[Page]
And they are also multiplied
that wrongfully me hate.


verse 20 They also that unthankfully
for good me render ill,
Mine adversaries are; because
what's good I follow still.

verse 21 O LORD, my GOD, forsake me
 [...]
far from me never be;


verse 22 O LORD, who my salvation a

make haste for help to me.

PSAL. XXXIX.

I Said, I will now carefully
take heed unto my way,
Lest with my tongue most foolishl

I sin and go astray:
I with a bridle strong will keep
my mouth still more and more
While that the wicked alwayes is
in presence me before.

verse 2  
I was then dumb with silence d

from good I held my peace:
My sorrow great exceedingly
was stirred in its place,

[Page]


verse 3 My heart within me still was hote,
while I was musing long:
The fire did burn exceedinglie,
then spake I with my tongue.

verse 4 Lord, make me now to know mine end
and measure of my dayes,
And what it is, that I may know
how frail I am alwayes.


verse 5 Behold, thou as an handbredth hast
my dayes all made to be,
And all mine age heer on the earth
as nothing is to thee:

Yea, verily, heer ev'ry man
though he were never so great
Is altogether vanitie,
ev'n at his best estate.


verse 6 Surely man walks in a vain shew
disquieted in vain,
He heaps up riches and not knows
who gather shall that gain.

verse 7 And now, Lord, in this time of grief
what wait 
I now for me,

[Page]
My hope that alwayes stedfast is
is ever still in thee.


verse 8 From my most vile transgressions▪
deliver now thou me,
And make me not of foolish men
a base reproach to be.

verse 9 Thus troubled very sore I was,
even dumb without reply,
Because thou didst it, 
I my mouth
not opned by and by.


verse 10 Remove thy stroke away from 
 [...]
which I cannot withstand,
I am consumed by the blow
of thy most heavy hand.

verse 11 When with rebukes thou dost co
 [...] re
 [...]
man for iniquitie,
Thou wasts his beautie like a moath
each man is vanitie.


verse 12 My prayer Lord hear, and now unt
 [...]
my cry incline thine ears,
By misregard hold not thy peace
at those my wofull tears:

[Page]
For I with thee most surely am
a stranger here and there,
And a sojourner for a space,
as all my fathers were.


verse 13 O spare me that I may my strength
recover as before,
Before I go away from hence,
and after be no more.

PSAL. XL.

WIth confidence still for the Lord
I waited patiently,
And loving he to me inclin'd,
and quickly heard my cry.


verse 2 He brought me from a fearfull pit
out of the mirie clay;
And set my feet upon a rock,
and stablish'd fast my way.

verse 3 A new song in my mouth he put
GODS praise for to record:
Yea many shall it see and feare,
and shall trust in the LORD,


verse 4 Blest is the man that makes the Lord
his trust to which he flies,

[Page]
And not respects the proud, nor su

Which thou hast done, & als thy tho

They can not all be reckned up
in order unto thee,
If I them would declare, they are

verse 6 Thou sacrifice and offrings als
didst not at all desire,
Mine eares thou opned, but for sin
no offrings didst require.


verse 7 Then said 
I Lord, loe now beh

I gladly come to thee,
For in the volume of the book
it written is of me:

verse 8 I take delight thy blessed will
to doe in every part,
Yea, LORD, thy law most holy is
alwayes within my heart.

verse 9 In the great congregation I
have preach'd thy righteousnesse;
My lips I have not, Lord thou knowst;
refrained more or lesse.

verse 10 Thy righteousnesse within my heart
to hide 
I had no will,
Thy faithfulnesse I have declar'd
and thy salvation still.
Thy kindnesse which most loving is
I not concealed have,
Nor from the congregation great
thy truth which thou me gave.

verse 11 Thy tender mercie now, O LORD,
withhold thou not from me:
Me let thy kindnesse and thy truth
preserve continuallie,


verse 12 For ills innumerable still
me compassd round about,
My sins have taken hold on me,
thus can I not look out,

They are in number surelie mo

Therefore my heart through grie

The LORD will him preserve alive,

The Lord wil strengthen him when as

Upon his bed; in sicknesse sore

What great work thou didst in their dayes,
even in the times of old.


verse 2 How thou the heathen didst drive out
and plant them with thy hand,
How thou the people didst afflict
and cast out of the land.

verse 3 For they not in possession sure,
the land that they did crave
Did get by their own proper sword,
nor did their arme them save;
But thy right hand, and als thine arm
and the light of thy face,
Because to them a favour great
thou hadst in every place.

verse 4 Thou art mine everlasting King,
O God for ever blessd,
Thy deliv'rances now command
for Jacob sore distressd.


verse 5 Through thee surely we will push down
our emnies all unwise,
We through thy name wil down them tread
that up against us rise.

verse 6 For surely in my brittle bow
no trust at all I'le have,
Nor yet in any place my sword
from danger shall me save.


verse 7 But thou from all our enemies hast
us saved by thy Name,
And as for those that hated us,
thou hast them put to shame.

verse 8 In God who strong and mighty is

And for thy grace and kindnesse gre

And hast us put to shame, and with

And they that hate us cruelly
us for themselves do spoil.


verse 11 Thou hast us giv'n like sheep for me
to those that do us wrong:

And thou in wrath ha

the heathen all among.

verse 12 For nought unto their wicked foes
thou sell'st thy people small,
And do'st not by their naughty price
increase thy wealth at all.


verse 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach
thou hast us pointed out,
A scorn and a derision als
to all men round about.

verse 14 Among the heathen thou us mak'st
a by word still indeed,
And als among the people all
a shakeing of the head.


verse 15 Before me my confusion great
appears continuallie,
And of my face the shame like wise
hath also covered me.

verse 16 Even for his voice that doth reproch
and also doth blaspheme,
By reason of the enmie great,
and avenger extreame.

verse 17 This ill all is upon us come,
yet thee forget not we,
Nor in thy Cov'nant all we have

Nor yet in going have our steps

And with the shadow cov'red us

Or to a strange God stretched out

verse 21 Shall not the LORD Omnipotent

For he the secrets deep doth know
of all mens hearts throughout.

verse 22 Yea, for thy sake by wicked men
we kill'd are all the day,

We for the slaughter counted are
as sheep to be alway.


verse 23 O Lord, why now thus sleepest thou?
awake for to consider;
Arise with speed unto our help,
cast us not off for ever.

verse 24 Wherfore thy face frō us thine own
thus hides thou more and more?
And our affliction dost forget,
and our oppression sore?


verse 25 For down unto the dust our soul
is bow'd, which doth us grieve;
Our belly in this trouble great

And us in trouble now redeeme

And from my sin that grievous is

And my most vile and bloody sin

committed this great sin,
And done this ill even by and by,

That when thou speakest alwayes thou

And sinners shall be from their sins

And all my sins both more and lesse

verse 6 Let none that wait on thee, O Lord,
for my sake shamed be,
Nor yet confounded for my sake,

verse 7 Because 
I for thy sake have borne
reproach and great disgrace,
Great shame before mine enmies still

verse 8  
I am become a stranger great

And also am an aliant to

Mine en'mies all did scoffe, and that

Did speak against me; yea I was

O LORD, alwayes to thee,
In such a time as thou dost know

Even in the truth and faithfulnesse

Mine adversaries that me hurt

Look'd to take pitie, none was; for

And they talk to the grief of those

And let not such men come at all

And not at all be written with

And in his furie will he thus

PSAL. LXXVIII.

MY people now attentive ear,
give to my law divine,
And to the words als of my mouth
see ye your eares incline.


verse 2 My mouth a parable shall speak
and sayings dark of old,


verse 3 Which we have heard & known, a

our fathers have us told.

verse 4 We from their children them to 
 [...]
will not at all accord,
But will shew to the race to come
the praises of the LORD.
And also his most glorious strength,
and his works evry one

[Page]
Which are alwayes most wonderfull
that he himselfe hath done.

For in Jacob a Testimonie
he plac'd and fix'd a law
In Isra'l, and our fathers bad
them make their children know.
That generations yet to come
might know them ev'ry where,
And children unborn who should rise
and them to theirs declare.

That they always on God might set
their hope in dangers deep,
And not forget the work of God,
but his commandments keep.


verse 8 And might not as their fathers be,
who stubborn still abode.
Whose heart not right was, and whose sprite
not stedfast was with GOD.

verse 9 All Ephraims children being arm'd
and carying bows not slack,
In the day of the battell they
with shame did turn their back.

[Page]


verse 10 They did not keep the cov'nant
of God, nor stood in aw,
But stubbornly refusd to walk
in his most holy law.

verse 11 And also his great works forgot,
not in a number few.
And his great wonders, which he di
 [...]
unto them clearely shew.


verse 12 Things wondrous in their fathers sig
 [...]
he did by his own hand,
And that even in the Zoan field
in Egypts fertile land.

verse 13 He did divide the sea, and them
causd to passe through the deep,
And he also the waters made
to stand up as an heap.


verse 14 In the day time he also them
led with a cloud aright:
And with a light of fire most clear
he led them all the night.

verse 15 In the dry barren wildernesse
the hardest rocks he cl
 [...]ave,

[Page]
And as out of the greatest depths
unto them drink he gave.


verse 16 He also then out of the rock
brought streame by his great might,
And causde the waters to run down
like rivers in their sight.

verse 17 And yet against him more they did
by grievous sins transgresse:
Yea by provoking the most High
to wrath in wildernesse.


verse 18 They also in their heart profane
did tempt the LORD most just,
Then sinned they by asking meat
for their most filthie lust.

verse 19 Yea, they against GOD foolishly
spake with unthankfulnesse,
Can GOD a table furnish us
ev'n in the wildernesse?


verse 20 The rock he smote, loe waters out
gush'd; streams ov'rflow'd afresh
Can he give bread also? can he
provide his people flesh?

[Page]


verse 21 GOD heard this, therefore was 
 [...] wro
 [...]
a fire 'gainst Jacob so
Was kindled, and great wrath came 
 [...]
against Isral also.


verse 22 Because they foolish not beleev'd
in GOD, who is most just;
And als in his salvation dear
they faithlesse did not trust.

verse 23 Though he most mighty from abo
 [...]
the clouds with majestie
Commanded had, and opned als
the doors of heav'n most hie.


verse 24 And down sweet manna rained 
 [...]
upon them for to eat:
And also had unto them given
the corn of heav'n for meat.

verse 25 Man fed by GOD, sweet angels fo
 [...]
did eat where ev'r he went;
This meat that was exceeding good
he to the full them sent.


verse 26 He causd an Eastwind in the hea
 [...]
to blow on all the land,

[Page]
And afterward the South wind he
brought in at his command.

verse 27 On them he rain'd a showr of flesh
as thick as dust could be,
And feath'red fowles like as the sands
which lye along the sea.


verse 28 And in the midst als of their camp
in heaps he let it fall,
With great abundance round about
their habitations all.

verse 29 So they did eat and also were
well fill'd, as they did crave,
For unto them their owne desire
in anger then he gave.


verse 30 They were not from their filthie lust
estrang'd while they did eat,
But while within their greedy mouths
contained was their meat.

verse 31 The wrath of God upon them came;
and all the fattest slew,
And smote down the most chosen men
of Israel not a few.

[Page]


verse 32 For all this they most wickedly
still sinning did him grieve.
And for his great and wondrous wor
 [...]
they did him not believe.

verse 33 Therefore their dayes in vanitie
he from his justice seat
Then did consume, and als likewise
their years in troubles great.


verse 34 When in his fierce wrath he the
 [...] sle
 [...]
they sought him with desire,
And they returnd, and after GOD
most early did enquire.

verse 35 And they remembred thē that God
their rock was every way.
And als that their redeemer was
the most hie GOD alway.


verse 36 Neverthelesse, they foolish, him
did flatter craftilie
And unto him they with their tongue
most falsly then did lie.

verse 37 For their deceitfull heart with him
not stable was and right,

[Page]
Nor yet they in his cov'nant still
were stedfast and upright.


verse 38 But being of compassion full,
their sins he great and small
Freely forgave, and in his wrath
them not destroy'd at all.

Yea many a time in mercy he
his anger turn'd away.
And did not fiercely all his wrath
'gainst them stir up alway.


verse 39 For he remembred that they were
but flesh that is most vain;
A wind that passeth soon away
and cometh not again.

verse 40 How oft did they provoke him in
the barren wildernesse;
And in the desart also him
grieve by their wickednesse?


verse 41 Yea to their sins they turned back
and tempted GOD anone,
And of Isra'l they limited
the just and holy One.

[Page]


verse 42 They did not his almighty hand
remember thankfully,
Nor yet the day he saved them
from the fierce enemy.


verse 43 How he had in strong Egypt lan
 [...]
that stubborn would not yeeld,
Wrought his great signes, and wond
 [...]
had done in Zoan field.

verse 44 And how he had by his great pow
 [...]
their rivers turn'd in blood,
And spoil'd their waters so that they
could not drink of their flood.


verse 45 He diverse sorts of flies did send
among them to devore,
And filthy frogs which them also
destroyed more and more.

verse 46 Unto the Caterpillar he
gave likwise their increase,
And to the greedy locust als
their labour more and lesse.


verse 47 By hail which with great weight 
 [...] do
 [...]
their vines destroy'd were lost,

[Page]
And their most pleasant Sycomores
were withred all with frost.

verse 48 He to the hail which fearfull was,
gave up their cattell all,
And flocks unto the thunder bolts
which hote on them did fall.


verse 49 His fierce wrath & his anger great
upon them he did cast,
By sending Angels that were ill
among them at the last.

verse 50 He to his anger making way
spar'd not their souls from death,
But to the Pestilence gave ov'r
their life in his great wrath.


verse 51 And he in Egypt also smot
the first-borne all rhat came;
The chief of all their strength that were
in all the tents of Ham.

verse 52 But his own people made go forth,
like sheep on evry side:
And them he in the wildernesse
ev'n like a flock did guide.

[Page]


verse 53 And he them safely still led on,
so that they did not fear.
But then the sea their enemies all
ov'rwhelmed far and near.

verse 54 His Sanctuaries border neer
he them brought by his might,
Ev'n to the Mount which his right ha
 [...]
hath purchasd in their sight.


verse 55 The heathen als before them he
cast out on evry side,
And them a large inheritance
by line he did divide.

And also he all Israels Tribes
made ev'n exceeding well,
In numbers great within their rents
in safety for to dwell.


verse 56 Yet the most High GOD did th
 [...] tempt
 [...]
and him provoked still:
His Testimonies of great worth
to keep they had not will.

verse 57 But like their fathers turned back
and dealt unfaithfullie;

[Page]
They like a most deceitfull bow▪
were turn'd aside quicklie.


verse 58 For they to wrath provoked him,
ev'n with their places hie,
And with their graven images
him mov'd to jealousie.

verse 59 When GOD this heard, he at the last
was wroth with them therefore;
And greatly then displeased he
his Israel did abhorre.


verse 60 So that of Shilo he forsook
the Tabernacle then,
The tent even of his dwelling place
which he plac'd among men,

verse 61 And he into captivity
deliv'red then his strength,
And als unto the en'mies hand
his glory all at length.


verse 62 His people also to the sword
he gave ov'r to be slain,
And als with his inheritance
was wroth in great disdain.

[Page]


verse 63 The fire of Gods wrath did cons
 [...]
of younger age their men;
Their maidens als did sit at home,
not unto mariage given.


verse 64 Their Priests also ev'n by the swo
 [...]
most fearfully did fall;
And yet no lamentation then
their widows made at all.

verse 65 Then as one out of sleep the LOR
 [...]
awak'd with strength divine,
And like a mighty man that shouts
by reason of his wine.


verse 66 And he smote In the hinder pa
 [...]
his enmies great and small,
He put them to a vile reproach
that was perpetuall.

verse 67 Moreover he the tabernacle
of Joseph did refuse,
And als the tribe of Ephraim
he likewise would not chuse,


verse 68 But of Judah he only chose
the tribe for to excell;

[Page]
And for his worship mount Sion
which he did love so well.

verse 69 And he his Sanctuary built
like Palaces most hie;
Even like the earth which he for ay
hath stablish'd still to be.


verse 70 He his dear servant David chose,
while others he forsook,
From the sheep folds in low estate
he him in mercy took.

verse 71 From following ews even great with young,
he did him high advance
Jacob to feed, and Israel
his own inheritance.


verse 72 So he them fed according to
his hearts integritie,
And by the skilfulnesse of hands
them wisely guided he.

WIth an attentive ear, O LORD,
the prayer now made by me
In mercy hear, and let my cry
come quickly unto thee.


verse 2 Hide not thy face from me in dayes
when I in trouble fall,
Incline thine ear and speedily
me answere when I call.

verse 3 For all my dayes are like the smoak,
consumed by thine ire,
And all my bones are fearfully
burnt as an hearth with fire.


verse 4 My heart sore smitten withred is
most like the grasse indeed,
So that I through my troubles great,
forget to eat my bread.

verse 5 By reason also of the voice
of groaning me within,

[Page]
My bones all dried with distresse,
do cleave unto my skin.


verse 6 I am like to a Pelican.
that lives in wildernesse:
And of the desert I am like
an owle in my distresse.

verse 7 I watch alwayes, and I am as
a sparrow that alone
In grief and sorrow sitteth still
ev'n the house top upon.


verse 8 Mine enmies me do still reproch
each day both ev'n and morn,
And they that are against me mad,
are als against me sworn.

verse 9 For ashes I have eaten still
like bread as I do think,
And in my grief I mingled have
with weeping all my drink.


verse 10 Because of thy most fearfull wrath
and indignation great,
For thou hast lift me up and hast
down cast me from my seat.

[Page]


verse 11 My dayes are like a shadow that
declining soon doth passe,
And I with troubles vexed sore,
am with'red like the grasse.


verse 12 But thou, O LORD for ever shalt
endure most stedfastlie,
And to all generations still
thy remembrance shall be.

verse 13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy have
on Zion thus ov'rcome,
For now the time to favour her
yea the set time is come.


verse 14 For thy servants do in stones
delight and pleasure take,
Yea, and the very dust thereof
they favour for her sake.

verse 15 So of the LORD the heathen shall
with rev'rence fear the Name,
And to thy glory earthly Kings
shall all still do the same.


verse 16 When as the LORD in mercy shall
build up his Zion dear,

[Page]
He shall then in his glory great
with Majesty appear.

verse 17 He will regard the prayer of
the destitute likewise,
And als the prayer that they make
he never will despise.


verse 18 This for the generation
to come shall written be,
And people not created yet
shall praise the Lord most hie.

verse 19 For he look'd down hath from the height
of all his Sanctuary,
The LORD the earth all did behold
ev'n from the heavens hye.

Lord, take me not away:
Throughout all generations still;
thy yeers for ever stay.


verse 25 Of old thou the foundation of
the earth most sure hast laid:
The heav'ns above are the great work
which by thy hand was made.

verse 26 They perish shall, but stedfastly
thou shalt endure alway:
Yea like a garment shall they all
wax old and wear away.
Thou shalt them as a vesture change,
and changed be they shall,


verse 27 But thou the same art, and thy yeers

And unto Israels children als

To anger slow, most plenteous als

verse 9 He, though for sin he whiles us check,
yet will not alwayes chide,
Nor yet will he his anger keep
for ever to abide.

verse 10 He not according to our sins
hath dealt with us in wrath;
Nor after our iniquities
he us rewarded hath.


verse 11 For as the heaven very high
above the earth is set,
So toward them that doe him fear
his mercy still is great.

verse 12 As far as th' East is from the West,
so far, by his great love,

From us he our transgressions all
in mercy doth remove.


verse 13 Like as a father tenderly
his children pities heer,
So likewise the Lord pities them
that truely do him fear.

verse 14 For he that made us all doth know
our frame most perfectly:
He also doth remember well
that but frail dust we be,


verse 15 As for man heer his dayes are as
the grasse in ev'ry case,
As of the field a flower, ev'n so

And after that the place thereof

His righteousnesse doth also reach

Wherein beasts of the forrest all

And from the GOD that formed them

And lay them down most quietly

There is that Leviathan whom

And more then all their enmies he

Most subtilly alwayes to deal

But at the sea, ev'n the red sea

verse 8 Neverthelesse, he by his might
them sav'd who were his own,
For his names sake, that he might make

and it was then made dry;
Through deeps as through the wilder­nesse

verse 10 He sav'd them from the hand of him

And them redeemed from the hand

For his wise counsell foolishly

And in the desert, GOD alwayes

But wasting leannesse suddenly

And Aaron, though a Saint of God,

and Dathan speedily
Did swallow up, and covred als

The flam thereof then breaking forth
burnt up the wicked all.

verse 19 A calf of gold in Horeb they
made in their folly rare,
And worshipped most foolishly
the molten image there.

chang'd as they did trespasse,
Into the liknesse of an ox

which by his mighty hand,
For their comfort alwayes had done,

To overthrow them every man

Their seed, and likewise in the lands
to scatter them each one.

verse 28 To Baal Peor also they
did joine themselves with speed,
And ate the sacrifices that
were offred to the dead,


verse 29 Thus they most foolishly with their
inventions full of sin
To anger him provok'd; and so
the plague on them brake in.

[Page]


verse 30 Then Phineas full of zeal stood up,
and judgement he that day
Did execute, and so the LORD
the fearfull plague did stay.


verse 31 And unto him for righteousnesse
that counted was therefore:
Yea, unto generations all,
and that for evermore.

verse 32 They at the waters als of strife
sore did him angrie make
So that it went exceeding all
with Moses for their sake.


verse 33 Because they did his wounded sprit
provoke presumptuously,
So that at last he with his lips
spake unadvisedly.

verse 34 They also did not then destroy
the Nations with their hand,
Concerning whom the Lord to them learn
expresly gave command.


verse 35 But they the heathens workes did
with whom they mingled were,

[Page]


verse 36 And they their idols served als
which were to them a snare.

verse 37 Yea, which was more, ev'n in a rage
the cause of fearfull evils.
Their sons and daughters wickedly
they sacrific'd to devils.


verse 38 And so they blood most innocent
did shed without all fear,
Yea, ev'n the blood of those that were
their sons and daughters dear:

Whom unto Cana'ns idols they
did offer with their hand,
So with the blood of their own brood
polluted was the land.


verse 39 Thus with their own most wicked works
defiled all they were,
And with their own inventions went
a whoring ev'ry where.

verse 40 For this against his people was
the Lords wrath kindled sore,
So that his own inheritance
he greatly did abhor.

[Page]


verse 41 And he them gave into the hand
of heathen void of grace,
And they that hated them did rule
ov'r them in ev'ry place.

verse 42 Their enmies als despightfully
oppressd them in the land,
And they unto subjection were
brought underneath their hand:


verse 43 He many times delivred them,
but with their counsell slie
They him provok'd, and were broug

 [...]
for their iniquitie.

verse 44 Neverthelesse, he mercifull
in pity did regard
Their great affliction in their grief,
when thus their cry he heard.


verse 45 And he remembred well also
his Covnant for their good,
And did repent according to
his mercies multitud.

verse 46 He also in his goodnesse great
them to be piti'd made

[Page]
Of all those that them from their land
then captives cari'd had,


verse 47 Save us, O Lord our God and us
out from the heathen raise,
To give thanks to thy holy Name
and triumph in thy praise.

And als let all the people say,
Amen; praise ye the LORD.

Whom safely he redeemed hath

verse 3 And gathred them out of the lands,
wherein they were distrest,
From South and also from the North,
from East and from the West.

verse 4 They wandred in the wildernesse
a solitarie way,
They found no city there at all,
wherein to dwell or stay.

verse 5 They hungry all and thirsty als
were forced to lament,
Their soul in them in this distresse
most fearfully did faint.


verse 6 Then in their trouble to the LOR
 [...]
they fervently did cry,
And he them out of their distresse
deliv'red by and by.

verse 7 And he in mercy led them foorth
by the right way also,
That they of habitation good

For he in love the longing soul

And filleth with his goodnesse great

verse 10 Such as in darknesse sit, and are
ev'n in deaths shadow found,
Who being in affliction great,
and yron also bound.

verse 11 Because against the words of God
they still rebelled then;
And the counsell of the most High
they proudly did contemne.


verse 12 Therefore with labour speedily
he then brought down their heart,
They fel down flat, and there was none
to help them in their smart.

verse 13 Then in their trouble to the LORD
they fervently did cry,
And out of their distresses them
he saved by and by.


verse 14 He out of darknesse and als of
deaths shadow did them take,
And by his might he all their bands
ev'n quite asunder brake.

verse 15 Oh that all men would praise the Lord
for his great goodnes then,
And for his works most wonderfull

verse 16 For he the gates that were of brasse
hath broken by a wonder,
And by his mighty arme hath cut
the yron bars in sunder.

verse 17 Because of their transgression,

Fools, who do hate instruction
oft sore afflicted be.

And they unto the gates of death

verse 19 Then in their trouble to the LOR

He out of their distresses all

verse 20 He sent his word to them anone
and heal'd them great and small,

And also he deliv'red them
from their destructions all.

verse 21 Oh that all men would praise the Lord

verse 23 Who to the sea go down in ships,

verse 24 They see Gods works & wonders als

verse 25 For he the stormy wind commands,
and raiseth by and by,
Which furiously the waves thereof
lifts up unto the Sky.

verse 26 They mount up to the heav'n, they go
down to the depths again,
Their soul is melted fearfully
because of troubling pain.

verse 27 They reel both to & fro while

to save themselves intend,
And stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wits end.

verse 28 Then in their trouble to the LOR

And out of their distresses he

verse 29 The raging storm a pleasant cal

So that in a most wondrous way

verse 33 He turns into a wildernesse
the rivers by and by,

 [...]nd water springs into a ground
that is exceeding dry.

verse 34 A fertile and a fruitfull land
he turns to barrennesse,

 [...]ecause the men that dwell therein
are given to wickednesse.


verse 35 Into a standing water all

 [...]nd he the dry and thirsty ground
turnes into water springs.

verse 36 There he doth make the hungrie dwell

Which may at last most plenteously,

And suffreth not by any hurt

Through very great oppression,

And him in mercy maketh als

They hands have, but they handle not

A throat they have, but throgh it they

For there they that us captive led
requir'd of us a song;

And they that always wasted us

Sing us, said they, one of the songs
of Zion, we desire.

As gladly the LORDS song to sing

When as yet there was none of them

How great is the most numbrous sum

Therefore ye bloody men away

O thou my soul most chearfully
praise the almighty Lord.
While as I live on earth, He praise
the Lord that doth me save,

 [...]'le to my GOD sing praises while
I any being have.

Put not your trust in any way
in Princes that shall fall;
Nor in the son of man, in whom
there is no help at all.
His breath goes foorth, & he returns
unto his earth and clay.
His foolish thoughts then perish all

GOD sets the prisoners free.

the Lord them that in

verse 9 The Lord the strangers doth preserv

And widows saves: but wicked way

which in their hunger cry.

verse 10 Into the strength of any horse

verse 11 The LORD doth take his pleasure great

In those that in their greatest strait

thy children all in thee.

He in thy borders round about

with finest of the wheat.
He his commandment on the earth
foorth sendeth ever still:

 [...] word also most swiftly doth

gives from the blustring air;

 [...] hoar-frost he doth scatter small
like ashes heer and there,
He also foorth doth cast his yee
like morsels, who so bold,

can stand before his cold?

He sendeth out his word, & makes
them for to melt and thowe,

[Page]
His wind to blow he causeth als,
and then the waters flowe.


verse 19 To Jacob still his servant dear
his word he shews each where:
His statutes and his judgements he
to Isra'l doth declare.

to deal so did accord,
As for his judgements they them not
have known; praise ye the LORD.

My Mothers children angry were

Me of their vineyards, but I not

For love as death strong, as the grave

The vineyard unto keepers he

Each one of those his servants for

A thousand peices was to bring

Into the bottome they did sink,
even as a heavy stone.

Thy right hand Lord thine enmies fro

verse 7 Thou hast thy foes all overthrow

verse 8 And with the fearfull blast that

from thy nostrils with power,
The waters in a speedie course

The floods stood upright as an heap

the deepths, as all did see,
Together all congealed were

verse 9 The enmie said, I will pursue,

O Pleasant heav'ns, that are above,

the words of my mouth hear.

[Page]


verse 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rai
 [...]
my speach as dew shall passe,
As small rain on the tender herb
and showres upon the grasse.

verse 3 Because I surely publish will
the blest name of the LORD,
Ye greatnesse to our GOD therefore
ascribe with one accord.

The first Part.

verse 4 He is the Rock, his work's perfit
his wayes all judgement be,
A GOD of truth, void of all sin,
most just and right is He.


verse 5 They have corrupt themselves, th
 [...] sp
 [...]
is not the spot alwayes
Of his children, they are perverse,
a race of crooked wayes.

verse 6 Unwise people, do ye requite
the LORD thus? Is not He
Thy Father, buyer? Hath he not
made and establish'd thee?


verse 7 Remember ye the dayes of old,
yeers past consider well;

[Page]

 [...]hy father aske, he will thee shew,
thy Elders will thee tell.

When the most High to Nations did
th'inheritance divide,

 [...]hen he the sons of Adam all
did separate beside,

 [...]e by his wisdome set the bounds
of all the people then,

 [...]ccording to the number of
his Israels children.

For the LORD for his portion hath
his people without blot,

 [...]cob of his inheritance
most surely is the lot.
He found them in a desart land
and wast wildernesse; He

 [...]m led, instructed, and him kept,
as th'apple of his eye.

As th'Eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttreth her young upon,

 [...]r wings doth spread, & taketh them
to carry them thereon.

[Page]


verse 12 So by his might the LORD alon
 [...]
did lead him carefully,
And no strange GOD there was at all
with him in company.

verse 13 He made him ride on Cana'n hi
 [...]
that he th'increase might eat,
He made him oil and hony suck,
from flintie rocks most sweet.


verse 14 Butter of Kine and milk of Shee
 [...]
he gave to every man,
With fat of Lambs, and also Rams
of the breed of Bashan.

He gave them Goats with the fat of
Kidneys of wheat right good,
And of the sweet grapes thou didst di
 [...]
the pure wine red like blood.

The second Part.

verse 15 But Jeshurun who should have b
 [...]
most righteous, then did kick,
Thou waxed art exceeding fat,
thou art grown very thick:
Thou cov'red art with fatnesse; the
 [...]
his maker he forsook,

[Page]

 [...]nd of his sure salvations rock
no care at all he took.

verse 16 With strange gods they provoked him
unto great jealousie,
With great abominations they
him angry made to be.


verse 17 They sacrificed unto devils,
to gods whom they not knew,
Whom your fathers did never fear,
even gods that were but new.

verse 18 Thou art unmindfull of the Rock
which once thee did beget,

 [...]nd the Lord God that formed thee,
thou didst alwayes forget.

The third Part.

verse 19 And when the Lord it saw, he did
abhorre them all anone,

 [...]ecause of the provoking great
of Daughter and of Son.


verse 20 He said, I will from them my face
hide, and I will now see

 [...]heir end; they are a froward race
in whom no faith can be.

[Page]


verse 21 With that which is not GOD the
 [...] hav
 [...]
me mov'd to jealousie,
To anger they have me provok'd
with their great vanitie:
I them also to jealousie,
with such as are no flock
Will move; to anger them with fool
 [...]
I surely will provoke:

verse 22 For in my wrath fire kindled is,
such as no tongue can tell,
It shall not cease alwayes to burn
even to the lowest hell;
It shall consume the earth all with
her increase, mans desire,
And the foundations of the mount
shall surely set on fire.

verse 23 Upon them of mischief a heap
I certainly will send,
I also on them in my wrath,
mine arrows now will spend.


verse 24 They shall consumed be and burnt
with pain of hunger great,

[Page]

 [...]nd suddenly shall be devour'd
with a most burning heat.

 [...]nd with bitter destruction I
will also on them thrust

 [...]he teeth of beasts, with poison als
of serpents of the dust.
The sword without, terrour within
destroy shall, and not spare

 [...]he young man, virgin, suckling als,
with the man of gray hair.

verse 26 I said, I into corners would
them quickly scatter, then
would make their rememberance
to cease from among men.


verse 27 Were it not that I the great wrath
fear'd of the enemie,

 [...]est their vaine adversaries should
behave themselves strangly,

 [...]nd lest that they pu
 [...]t up with pride,
should say those words anone,

 [...]ur hand now high his, and the LORD
this work all hath not done.

[Page]


verse 28 For they all a vaine Nation are
of wholesome counsell void,
No understanding good at all
in them doth still abide.

verse 29 O that they were wise, so that they
thes clearly understood,
That they would now their latter end
consider for their good.


verse 30 How should but one a thousand chase,
and two als put to flight
Ten thousand, if their Rock had not
them sold and shut up right?

verse 31 For their rock in no way is as
our rock that mighty is,
We none but even our enmies seek,
for to be Judge of this.


verse 32 Of Sodom and Gomorrahs field
their vine I truely call,
Their clusters great most bitter are,
their grapes are grapes of gall.

verse 33 Their wine is Dragons poison, which
doth from those grapes distill,

[Page]
And is the cruel venime of
vile Aspes that men do kill.


verse 34 Is not this wickednesse laid up
in a great store with me,
And up among my treasures als
even sealed secretly?

The fourth Part.

verse 35 To me belongeth vengeance, and
recompence for their crime,
Their foot shall slide assuredly
in due appointed time;
For their day of calamitie
is surely neer at hand.
And the things that shal come on them
make hast, and shall not stand.

verse 36 For the LORD who is mercifull
shall when he is content
His people judge, and als himself
for his servants repent:
When that he sees their power al gone
and them of help berest,
And that in their calamitie
there's none shut up or left.

[Page]


verse 37 And he in his great wrath shal say,
where are their gods of might,
Their stable rock in whom alwayes
they trusted day and night.


verse 38 Which ate fatlings & wine offrings,
in drink did not reject,
Let them rise up, & with their strength
you help, and als protect.

verse 39 See now that I am he, even I
no god there is with me;
I kill, I also make alive,
I wound, heal, as yee see.
Nor is there any that how can
out of my hand deliver:


verse 40 For I lift up my hand to heav'n,
and say, I live for ever.

verse 41 If on judgement my hand take hold,
and glistring sword I whet,
I'll render vengeance to my foes,
and crush those that me hate.


verse 42 I will mine arrows in my wrath
(which is now kindled sore)

[Page]
Make drunk with blood & als my sword
shall fiercely flesh devore,
And that with the blood of the slain,
and men that captives be,
From the beginning of revenge
upon the enemie.

verse 43 Rejoice ye nations with his folk,
for he who doth not change,
Will the blood of his servants dear
most speedily avenge.
And to his adversaries will
a vengeance render full,
And to his people and his land
will be most mercifull.

verse 8 My heart to Isra'ls Governours
is, that with one accord
Offred themselves most willingly

that travel by the way.


verse 10 Who sav'd are from the archers noise
where they did water draw,
There shall they of the Lord rehearse
the righteous acts and law.

The righteous acts in Israel,
in village done or town:
Then shall the people of the Lord
unto the gates go down.

scribes handling well the pen.


verse 15 And the most mightie Princes of
strong Issachar that day,
Were with Deborah in the field
even Issachar I say.

There Barak to the valley sent
on foot, did soon depart;
For the divisions of Reuben
there were great thoughts of heart.

verse 16 Why in sheepfolds abodst thou to
hear flocks bleet in our smart?
For the divisions of Reuben
were searchings great of heart.

verse 17 Beyond Jordan Gilead abode,
and why did Dan remain

 [...]n ships? Asher on the sea shore
sought in his breaches gain.


verse 18 Zebulon and stout Naphtali
were arm'd with spear and shield;
They jeoparded their lives in the
high places of the field.

verse 19 The kings of Cana'n came & fought
Jabin for to maintain,
In Tanah to Megiddo neer,
but thereby did not gain.


verse 20 'Gainst Sisera the clouds and wind
did fight from heav'ns most hie:
The Stars als in their courses all
fought most couragiouslie.

verse 19 The river Kishon, even Kishon
did sweep them all away;

O thou my soul, thou hast down troad
great strength without delay.


verse 22 Then the strong horse hoves broken were
even with the strongest bones,
By the means of the pransing great
of the most mighty Ones.

verse 23 Curse ye the men of Meros all,
said th'Angel of the LORD,
Curse the inhabitants thereof
most bitterly by word:
Because to the help of the LORD
they came not speedilie,
Even to the help of God the LORD,

There he bow'd there he fell downe dead

at windows, and did cry

 [...]hrough the lattesse with joy of heart
to those that passed by,
Why tarries his Charet so long?
What hinder doth it let?
Why tary thus the wheels most swift

verse 29 When her wise Ladies heard those words,

verse 30 Have they not well in battell sped,
have they not all also

Parted the spoil to every man,
a damosell or two?

To Sisera a wealthy prey,

Him love, let them be as the Sun,

MY heart rejoiceth in the Lord,

My mouth is greatly now enlarg'd,
for I rejoice in thee,

[Page]
There is none holy as the Lord,
there is none thee beside,

 [...]here is no Rock that like our God

See that henceforth ye do no more
exceeding proudly talk,

 [...]or let your tongue within your mouth
with arrogancy walk.

of knowledge as we see,

 [...]nd by him in a Ballance just
all actions weighed be.

The bows of all the mighty men,

And she that many children hath

verse 6 The Lord by his strong arme doth kil,
and he doth also save;
He lifteth up and also he
brings down unto the grave.

verse 7 The Lord he surely maketh poor,
and also maketh rich,
He bringeth low, and raiseth up
unto a certain pitch.


verse 8 He raiseth up, out of the dust
the poor from the dunghill,
He lifts the begger and him sets
on Thrones with Princes still:

For of the earth the pillars strong
are all the Lords alone:
And he by his great power hath set
the world all them upon.

O Lord my God, now who am I
that thou on me hast thought,
What is my house that thou in love,
me hitherto hast brought?
This was but small Lord in thy sight;
thou of thy servants house

[Page]
Hast spoke for a great while to come,
as thou art righteous.

This truely Lord, a mercy great
I clearly now do see,
After the manner of a man,
Lord this seemes not to be.


verse 3 And what can David more to thee,
for this thy goodnesse say?
For thou Lord God, who art most hie,
thy servant know'st alway.

verse 4 For thy words sake thou hast now done
according to thy heart
Those things, to make thy servants all

verse 5 Thou Lord art great, like thee is none,
no God is thee beside,
According to all things that we

Ev'n like Isra'l, whom God redeem'd,

What of thy servant and his house

verse 11 For thou Lord God, the Lord hosts

Found even this prayer in my heart

And thou this goodnes promisde hast

[...]he Song of Isaiah, concerning the vineyard, wherein Gods people is reproved for their barrennesse in good workes, notwithstanding of all the paines were taken by the Prophets. ISA. 5. vers. 1.

TO my Belov'd, I my Belov'ds
song will now sing with skill,

 [...]y Welbelov'd a vineyard hath
in a most fruitfull hill.
He it did fence, and gathred out
its stones at every houre,

 [...]e planted it with choisest vine,
and in it build a Towre.

He made a vine presse als therein,
and lok'd it should bring foorth
Good grapes, but forth always it broght
wild grapes of nothing worth.
O ye indwellers of Salem,
and Judahs men alway.

[Page]
Betwixt my vineyard and me now
judge justly I you pray.

verse 4 What could I my vineyard unto
do more then I have done.
While for good grapes I looked still,
it brought wilde grapes anone.


verse 5 And now go to I will you tell,
what to my vineyard I
Will do, I will the hedge thereof
away take by and by.

Then shall it all be eaten up,
I will break down its wall,
And it by wild beasts of the field
shall down be troden all.


verse 6 I also now will lay it wast,
it shall not pruned be
Nor digged, but sharp briers & thorns
come up ye all shall see.

I likewise in my furious wrath
the clouds all will command,
That they shall neither day nor night
raine down upon its land.

[Page]


verse 7 For of the LORD the vineyard is
the house of Israel,
And Judahs men his pleasant plant,
which others should excell.

And he for judgement looked well,
but O then by and by
Oppression, als for righteousnesse,
but O behold a cry.

A Song of thanks, for the mercies of GOD. ISA. 12. vers. 1.

Wil thee praise, O Lord, though thou
with me most angry wast,

Behold God's my salvation now,

With confidence trust and not be

Done by his mighty hand, this well

verse 2 The glorious gates now open that
the Nation free of sin,
Which constantly the truth doth keep

verse 3 Thou wilt him well preserve & keep

Yea with my sprit I early will

Then all the worlds inhabitants

verse 11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up
they all refuse to see,

shall quickly them devore.

As dew of herbs, and als the earth
shall cast out all the dead.

verse 20 My people come, now enter thou,
while as the time is fit,
Into thy chambers, and with speed
the doors about thee shut.

thy self far from the blast,
Untill the indignation great
be safely over past.

verse 21 For lo, the LORD out of his place
doth come most speedilie,

And shall no more the means afford,
to cover close her slain.

of me soone make an end.

and very dimmed be;

now undertake for me.

the pit of rottennesse;

For thou who of afflicted men
dost ever notice take,

shall teach thy truth alway.

my life brought up anone.

unto the neck with speed.

his villages the head

Their joy was all as to devore
the poor most secretlie.

with troupes them will invade.

nor fruits in Vines shall be,

the flock all from the fold

 [...]hall be cut off, there shall no herd
instals be young or old.

The mercy promisd to performe
unto our fathers, and

Not for a little space of time,
