The PSALMS of DAVID In Meeter.

PSAL. I. THat man hath perfect blessedness who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men, nor stands in sinners way, Nor sitteth in the scorners chair. verse 2 But placeth his delight Vpon Gods Law, and meditates on his Law day and night. verse 3 He shall be like a tree that grows near planted by a river, Which in his season yeelds his fruit, and his leaf fadeth never. And all be doth shall prosper well. verse 4 The wicked are not so: But like they are unto the chaff which wind drives to and fro. verse 5 In judgement therefore shall not stand such as ungodly are: Nor in th'assembly of the just shall wicked men appear. verse 6 For why? the way of godly men unto the Lord is known: Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown.

PSAL. II. VVHy rage the heathen? and vain things why do the people mind? verse 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves, and Princes are combin'd To plot against the Lord, and his Anointed, saying thus, verse 3 Let us asunder break their bands, and cast their cords from us. verse 4 He that in heaven sits, shall laugh: the Lord shall scorn them all: verse 5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath, in rage be vex them shall. verse 6 Yet notwithstanding I have him to be my King appointed: And over Sion my holy hill, I have him King anointed. verse 7 The sure decrée I will declare: the Lord hath said to me, Thou art mine only Son, this day I have begotten thee. verse 8 Ask of me, and for heritage the heathen I'le make thine; And, for possession, I to thée will give earths utmost line. verse 9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod of iron break them all, And as a potters sheard, thou shalt them dash in pieces small. verse 10 Now therefore Kings be wise, be taught ye Iudges of the earth. verse 11 Serve God in fear, and sée that ye joyn trembling with your mirth. verse 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire ye perish from the way, If once his wrath begin to burn: blest all that on him stay.

PSAL. III. O Lord, how are my foes increas'd? against me many rise. verse 2 Many say of my soul, for him in God 〈◊〉 succour lies. verse 3 Yet thou my shield and glory art, th'uplifter of mine head. verse 4 I cry'd, and from his holy hill the Lord me answer made. verse 5 I laid me down and slept, I wak'd, for God sustained me. verse 6 I will not fear though thousands ten set round against me be. verse 7 Arise, O Lord, save me, my God; for thou my foes hast stroke All on the chéek-bone: and the téeth of wicked men hast broke. verse 8 Salvation doth appertain unto the Lord alone: Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore thy people is upon.

PSAL. IV. GIve ear unto me when I call, God of my righteousness, Have mercy, hear my pray'r, thou hast enlarg'd me in distress. verse 2 O ye the sons of men, how long will ye love vanities? How long my glory turn to shame, and will ye follow lies? verse 3 But know that for himself, the Lord, the godly man doth chuse: The Lord, when I on him do call, to hear will not refuse. verse 4 Fear, and sin not, talk with your heart on bed, and, silent be: verse 5 Offrings present of righteousness: and in the Lord trust ye. verse 6 O who will shew us any good? is that which many say: But of thy countenance the light Lord, lift on us alway. verse 7 Vpon my heart, bestow'd by thee, more gladness I have found, Then they, ev'n then when corn and wine did most with them abound. verse 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and quiet sleep will take: Because thou only me to dwell in safety, Lord, dost make.

PSAL. V. GIve ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh. verse 2 Hear my loud cry, my King, my God; for I to thee will pray. verse 3 Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will direct My pray'r to thee, and looking up an answer will expect. verse 4 For thou art not a God that doth in wickednesse delight: Neither shall evil dwell with thee. verse 5 N • r fools stand in thy sight. All that ill doers are thou hat'st. verse 6 Cur'st off that liare be: The bloudy and deceitful man abhorred is by thee. verse 7 But I into thy house will come, in • hine abundant grace: And I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy place. verse 8 Because of those mine enemies, Lord, in thy righteousness Do thou me lead, do thou thy way make straight before my face. verse 9 For in their mouth there is no truth, their inward part is ill; Their throat's an open sepulchre, their tongue doth flatter still. verse 10 O God, destroy them; let them be by their own counsel quell'd: Them for their many sins cast out, for they 'gainst thee rebell'd. verse 11 But let all joy that trust in thee; and still make shouting noise: For them thou sav'st: Let all that love thy Name, in thée rejoyce. verse 12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man, thou wilt thy blessing yeeld; With favour thou wilt compass him about, as with a shield.

PSAL. VI. LOrd, in thy wrath rebuke me not, Nor in thy hot rage chasten me, verse 2 Lord, pity me, for I am weak: Heal me, for my bones vexed be. verse 3 My soul is also vexed sore: But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make? verse 4 Return, O Lord, my soul set free: O save me for thy mercies sake. verse 5 Because those that deceased are, Of thee shall no remembrance have: And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave? verse 6 I with my groaning weary am, I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim, and I With tears my couch have watered. verse 7 Mine eye consum'd with grief, grows old, Because of all mine enemies. verse 8 Hence from me wicked workers all. For God hath heard my weeping cryes. verse 9 God hath my supplication heard; My pray'r received graciousl • : verse 10 Sham'd, and sore vex'd be all my foes, Sham'd, and back turned suddenly.

Another of the same. In thy great indignation, O Lord rebuke me not; Nor on me lay thy chastning hand in thy displeasure hot. verse 2 Lord, I am weak, therefore on me have mercy, and me spare: Heal me, O Lord, because thou know'st my bones much vexed are. verse 3 My soul is vexed sore; but, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make? verse 4 Return, Lord, frée my soul, and save me for thy mercies sake. verse 5 Because of thée in death, there shall no more remembrance be: Of those that in the grave do ly, who shall give thanks to thee? verse 6 I with my groaning weary am, and all the night my bed I caused for to swim: with tears my couch I watered. verse 7 By reason of my vexing grief, mine eye consumed is; It waxeth old because of all that be mine enemies. verse 8 But now depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; For why, the Lord hath heard my voice, when I did mourn and cry. verse 9 Vnto my supplication, the Lord did hearing give; When I to him my prayer make the Lord will it receive. verse 10 Let all be sham'd and troubled sore, that enemies are to me; Let them turn back, & suddenly ashamed let them be.

PSALM. VII. O Lord my God, in thee do I my confidence repose: Save and deliver me from all me persecuting foes. verse 2 Lest that the enemy my soul should like a lion tear. In pieces renting it, while there is no deliverer. verse 3 O Lord my God if it be so that I committed this: If it be so that in my hands. iniquity there is. verse 4 If I rewarded ill to him that was at peace with me (Yea, even the man that without cause my foe was, I did free) verse 5 Then let the foe pursue and take my soul, and my life thrust Down to the earth, and let him lay mine honour in the dust. verse 6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord, raise thy self. for my foes raging be. And to the judgement which thou hast commanded, wake for me. verse 7 So shall th'assembly of thy folk about encompasse thee: Thou therefore, for their sakes return unto thy place on hie. verse 8 The Lord he shall the people judge: my Iudge Iehova be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me. verse 9 O let the wicked's malice end, but stablish stedfastly The righteous: for the righteous God the hearts and reins doth try. verse 10 In God, who saves th'upright in heart is my defence and stay. verse 11 God just men judgeth, God is wroth with ill men every day. verse 12 If he do not return again, then he his sword will whet; His bow he hath already bent, and hath it ready set. verse 13 He also hath for him prepar'd the instruments of death; Against the persecuters he his shafts ordained hath. verse 14 Behold he with iniquity doth travel as in birth; A mischief he conceived hath, and falshood shall bring forth. verse 15 He made a pit and dig'd it deep, another there to take: But he is fallen into the ditch which he himself did make. verse 16 Vpon his own head, his mischief shall be returned home; His violent dealing also down on his own pate shall come. verse 17 According to his righteousness the Lord I'le magnifie: And will sing praise unto the Name of God that is most hie.

PSAL. VIII. HOw excellent in all the earth, Lord our Lord is thy Name! Who hast thy glory far advanc'd above the starry frame. verse 2 From infants and from sucklings mou •… thou didest strength ordain, For thy foes cause, that so thou might'st th'avenging foe restrain. verse 3 When I look up unto the heav'ns which thine own fingers fram'd, Vnto the moon, and to the stars, which were by thée ordain'd; verse 4 Then say I, What is man, that he remembred is by thée? Or what the son of man, that thou so kind to him shouldst be? verse 5 For thou a little lower hast him then the angels made, With glory and with dignity thou crowned hast his head. verse 6 Of thy hand-works thou mad'st him lord; all under's féet didst lay: verse 7 All shéep and oxen, yea and beasts that in the fields do stray. verse 8 Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, all that pass through the same: verse 9 How excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord, is thy Name!

PSAL. IX. LOrd thee I'le praise with all my heart, thy wonders all proclaim: verse 2 In thee most high I'le greatly joy, and sing unto thy Name. verse 3 When back my foes were turn'd, they sell and perisht at thy sight: verse 4 For thou maintaind'st my right and cause, on throne sat'st judging right. verse 5 The heathen thou rebuked hast, the wicked overthrown; Thou hast put out their names, that they may never more be known. verse 9 O enemy! now destructions have an end perpetual; Thou cities re •• d, perish • with them▪ is their memorial. verse 7 God shall endure for ay, he doth for judgement set his throne: verse 8 In righteousness to judge the world, justice to give each one. verse 9 God also will a refuge be for those that are opprest, A refuge will he be in times of trouble, to distrest, verse 10 And they that know thy Name, in thee their confidence will place: For thou hast not forsaken them that truly seek thy face. verse 11 O sing ye praises to the Lord, that dwells in Zion hill: And, all the nations among, his deeds record ye still. verse 12 When he enquireth after blood, he then remembreth them; The humble folk he not forgets, that call upon his Name. verse 13 Lord, pity me, behold the grief which I from foes sustain. Ev'n thou who from the gates of death dost raise me up again. verse 14 That I in Sions daughters gates, may all thy praise advance: And that I may reioice alwayes in thy deliverance. verse 15 The heathen are sunk in the pit which they themselves prepar'd, And in the net which they have hid, their own feet fast are snar'd. verse 16 The Lord is by the judgement known which he himself hath wrought; The sinners hands do make the snares wherewith themselves are caught. verse 17 They who are wicked, into hell, each one shall turned be; And all the nations that forget to seek the Lord most hie. verse 18 For they that needy are, shall not forgotten be alway. The expectation of the poor shall not be lost for ay. verse 19 Arise, Lord, let not man prevail; judge heathens in thy sight, verse 20 That they may know themselves but men the nations, Lord, affright.

PSAL. X. VVHerefore is it that thou, O Lord, doth stand from us a far? And wherefore hidest thou thy self, when times so troublous are? verse 2 The wicked in his loftiness doth persecute the poor: In these devices they have fram'd, let them be taken sure. verse 3 The wicked of his hearts desire, doth talk with boasting great; He blesseth him that's codetous, whom yet the Lord doth hate. verse 4 The wicked through his pride of face. on God he doth not call: And in the counsels of his heart, the Lord is not at all. verse 5 His wayes at all times grieveous are; thy judgements from his sight Removed are; at all his foes he puffeth with despight. verse 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be: And no adversitie at all shall ever come to me. verse 7 His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit, is fill'd abundantly: And underneath his tongue, there is mischief and vanitie. verse 8 He closely sits in villages: he slayes the innocent: Against the poor that passe him by, his cruel eyes are bent. verse 9 He lion-like lurks in his den; he waits the poor to take: And when he drawes him in his net, his prey he doth him make. verse 10 Himself he humbleth very low, he croucheth down withal, That so a multitude of poor may by his strong ones fail. verse 11 He this hath said within his heart, the Lord hath quite forgot; He hides his countenance, and he for ever sees it not. verse 12 O Lord, do thou arise; O God, lift up thine hand on hie Put on the meek afflicted ones out of thy memory. verse 13 Why is it that the wicked man thus doth the Lord despise? Because that God will it require, he in his heart denies. verse 14 Thou hast it seen, for their mischief and spite thou wilt repay: The poor commits himself to thee, thou art the orphans stay. verse 15 The arm break of the wicked man, and of the evil one: Do thou seek out his wickedness until thou findest none. verse 16 The Lord is King through ages all: ev'n to eternity: The heathen people from his land are perisht utterly. verse 17 O Lord, of those that humble are, thou the desire didst hear: Thou wilt prepare their heart; and thou to hear wilt bend thine ear. verse 18 To judge the fatherlesse, and those that are oppressed sore, That man that is but sprung of earth, may them oppresse no more.

PSAL. XI. I In the Lord do put my trust; how is it then that ye Say to my soul, Flee as a bird unto your mountain hie? verse 2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on string they fit, That those who upright are in heart, they privily may hit. verse 3 If the foundations be destroy'd, what hath the righteous done? verse 4 God in his holy Temple is, in heaven is His Throne. His eyes do see, His eye lids try verse 5 mens sons. The just be proves: But his soul hates the wicked man, and him that violence loves. verse 6 Snares, fire & brimstone, furious storms on sinners He shall rain: This, as the portion of their cup, doth unto them pertain: verse 7 Because the Lord most righteous doth in righteousnesse delight. And with a pleasant countenance beholdeth the upright.

PSAL. XII. HElp, Lord, because the godly man doth daily fade away; And from among the sons of men the faithful do decay. verse 2 Vnto his neighbours every one doth utter vanity: They with a double heart do speak, and lips of flatterie. verse 3 God shall cut off all flattering lips, tongues that speak proudly thus, verse 4 Wee'l with our tongue prevail, our lips are ours: whose Lord ov'r us? verse 5 For poor opprest, and for the sighs of needy, rise will I, Saith God, and him in safely set from such as him de •• e. verse 6 The words of God are words most pure▪ they be like silver try'd In earthen furnace, seven times. that hath been purify'd. verse 7 Lord, thou shalt them preserve and keep for ever, from this race: verse 8 On each side walk the wicked, when vile men are high in place.

PSAL. XIII. HOw long wilt thou forget me, Lord, shall it for ever be? O! how long shall it be, that thou wilt hide thy face from me? verse 2 How long take counsel in my soul, still sad in heart shall I? How long exalted over me shall be mine enemy? verse 3 O Lord, my God, consider well, and answer to me make: Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep of death me overtake. verse 4 Lest that mine enemies should say, against him I prevail'd: And those that trouble me, rejoyce when I am mov'd and fail'd. verse 5 But I have all my confidence thy mercy set upon: My heart within me shall rejoyce in thy salvation. verse 6 I will unto the Lord my God sing praises thearfully: Because he hath his bounty shown to me abundantly.

PSAL. XIV. THat there is not a God the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile, not one of them doth good. verse 2 Vpon mens sons the Lord from heav'n did cast his eyes abroad; To sée if any understood, and did séek after God. verse 3 Vhey altogether filthy are, they all aside are gone: And there is none that doeth good; yea, sure there is not one. verse 4 These workers of iniquity, do they not know at all, That they my people eat as bread, And on God do not call? verse 5 There fear'd they much: for God is with the whole race of the just: verse 6 You shame the counsel of the poor, because God is his trust. verse 7 Let Isral's help from Sion come; when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Iacob shall rejoyce, And Israel shall sing.

PSAL. XV. WIthin thy tabernacle, Lord, who shall abide with thee? And in thy high and holy hill, who shall a dweller be? verse 2 The man that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousnesse, And as he thinketh in his heart, so doth he truth expresse. verse 3 Who doth not slander with his tongue, nor to his friend doth hurt, Nor yet against his neighbour doth take up an ill report. verse 4 In whose eyes vile men are despis'd: but those that God do fear He honoureth, and changeth not, though to his heart he swear. verse 5 His coin puts not to usury, nor take reward will he Against the guiltless. Who doth thus shall never moved be.

PSAL. XVI. LOrd, keep me, for I trust in thee. verse 2 To God thus was my speech, Th • u art my Lord, and unto thee my goodness doth not reach: verse 3 To sain • s on earth, to th'excellent where my delights all plac'd. verse 4 Their sorrows shall be multiply'd, to ot • er gods that haste. Of their drink • offerings of blood I will no offering make; Yea, neither I their very names up in my lips will take. verse 5 God is of mine inheritance. and cup the portion: The lot that fallen is to me, thou dost maintain alone. verse 6 Vnto me happily the lines in pleasant places fell: Yea, the inheritance I got, in beauty doth excel. verse 7 I blesse the Lord because he doth by counsell me conduct: And in the seasons of the night, my reins do me instruct. verse 8 Before me still the Lord I set: sith it is so, that he Doth ever stand at my right hand, I shall not moved be. verse 9 Because of this my heart is glad, and joy shall be exprest Ev'n by my glory: and my flesh in confidence shall rest. verse 10 Because my soul in grave to dwell shall not be left by thee. Nor wilt thou give thine holy One corruption to see. verse 11 Thou wilt me shew the path of life: of joyes there is full store Before thy face; at thy right hand are pleasures evermore.

PSAL. XVII. LOrd, hear the right, attend my cry: unto my prayer give heed, That doth not in hypocrisie from feigned lips proceed. verse 2 And from before thy presence forth my sentence do thou send: Toward these things that equal are, do thou thine eyes intend. verse 3 Thou prov'dst mine heart, thou visit'st m •… by night thou didst me try, Yet nothing foundst: for that my mouth shall not sin, purpos'd I. verse 4 As for mens works, I by the word that from thy lips do flow. Did me preserve out of the paths wherein destroyers go. verse 5 Hold up my goings. Lord; me guide in those thy paths divine, So that my footsteps may not slide out of these wayes of thine. verse 6 I called have on thee, O God, because thou wilt me hear: That thou mayst hearken to my spéech, to me incline thine ear. verse 7 Thy wondrous loving kindness show, thou that by thy right hand Sav'st them that in thee trust, from those that up against them stand. verse 8 As th'apple of the eye me keep; in thy wings shade me close. verse 9 From lewd oppressors compassing me round, as deadly foes. verse 10 In their own fat they are inclos'd: their mouth speaks lostily; verse 11 Our steps they compast, and to ground down bowing set their eye. verse 12 He like unto a lion is, that's greedy of his prey, Or lion young, which lurking doth in secret places stay. verse 13 Arise, and disappoint my foe, and cast him down, O Lord: My soul save from the wicked man; the man which is thy sword. verse 14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from worldly men me save, Which only in this present life their part and portion have: Whose belly with thy treasure hid thou fill'st, they children have •… n plenty, of their goods the rest they to their children leave. verse 15 But as for me, I thine own face in righteousness will see: And with thy likeness, when I wake, I satisfi'd shall be.

PSAL. XVIII. THée will I love, O Lord, my strength. verse 2 My fortress is the Lord, My rock, and he that doth to me deliverance afford: My God, my strength, whom I will trust, a buckler unto me, The horn of my salvation, and my high tow'r is be. verse 3 Vpon the Lord, who worthy is of praises, will I cry; And then shall I preserved be safe from mine enemy, verse 4 Floods of ill men affrighted me, deaths pangs about me went. verse 5 Hells sorrows me invironed: deaths snares did me prevent. verse 6 In my distress I call'd on God, cry to my God did I: He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry. verse 7 Th'earth as affrighted then did shake, trembling upon it seised; The hills foundations moved were, because he was displeased. verse 8 Vp from his nostrils came a smoak, and from his mouth there came Devouring fire, and coals by it were turned into flame. verse 9 He also bowed down the heavens, and thence he did descend, And thickest clouds of darkness did under his feet attend: verse 10 And he upon a cherub rode, and thereon he did fl • : Yea, on the swift wings of the winde. his flight was from on hie, verse 11 He darkness made his secret place: about him for his tent Dark waters were, and thickest clouds of th'airie firmament. verse 12 And at the brightnesse of that light which was before his eye, His thick clouds past away, hail-stones and coals of fire did fly. verse 13 The Lord God also in the heav'ns did thunder in his ire, And there the highest gave his voice, hall-stones and coals of fire. verse 14 Yea, he his arrows sent abroad, and them he scattered; His lightnings also he shot out, and them discomfited. verse 15 The waters channels then were seen, the worlds foundations vast, At thy rebuke discovered were, and at thy nostrils blast. verse 16 And from above the Lord sent down, and took me from below: From many waters he me drew, which would me overflow. verse 17 He me reliev'd from my strong foes, and such as did me hate: Because he saw that they for me too strong were, and too great. verse 18 They me prevented in the day of my calamitie, But even then the Lord himself a stay was unto me. verse 19 He, to a place where liberty and room was, hath me brought; Because he took delight in me, He me deliverance wrought. verse 20 According to my righteousness He did me recompense: He me repay'd according to my hands pure innocence: verse 21 For I Gods wayes kept, from my God did not turn wickedly, verse 22 His judgements were before me, I His laws put not from me. verse 23 Sincere before him was my heart, with him upright was I; And watchfully I kept my self from mine iniquity. verse 24 After my righteousnesse, the Lord hath recompensed me, After the cleanness of my hands appearing in his eye. verse 25 Thou gracious to the gracious art, to upright men upright. verse 26 Pure to the pure froward thou ky • hes unto the froward wight. verse 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save, in grief that low do ly; But wilt bring down the countenance of them whose looks are by. verse 28 The Lord will light my candle so, that it shall shine full bright; The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. verse 29 By thée, through troups of men I brea •… and them discomfit all: And, by my God assisting me, I over-leap a wall. verse 30 As for God, perfect is his way: the word of God is try'd; He is a buckler to all those who do on him confide. verse 31 Who but the Lord is God; but he who is a rock and stay? verse 32 It's God that girdeth me with strengt •… and perfect makes my way. verse 33 He made my seet swift as the hindes, set me on my high places. verse 34 Mine hands to war he taught, my arm brake bows of steel in pieces. verse 35 The shield of thy salvation thou didst on me bestow; Thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow. verse 36 And in my way my steps thou hast enlarged under me, That I go safely and my feet are kept from sliding free. verse 37 Mine enemies I pursued have, and did them overtake: Nor did I turn again, till I an end of them did make. verse 38 I wounded them, they could not rise: they at my feet did fall. verse 39 Thou girdest me with strength for war: my foes thou broughtst down all. verse 40 And thou hast giv'n to me the necks of all mine enemies: That I might them destroy and slay who did against me rise. verse 41 They cryed out, but there was none that would or could them save: Yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. verse 42 Then did I beat them small as dust before the wind that flyes: And I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lyes. verse 43 Thou mad'st me free from peoples strife, and heathens head to be: A people whom I have not known, shall set vice do to me. verse 44 At hearing they shall me obey, to me they shall submit. verse 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away, who in closs places sit. verse 46 God lives, blest be my rock: the God of my health praised be. verse 47 God doth avenge me, and subdues the people under me. verse 48 He saves me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me •… bove my foes: and from the man of violence, setst me free. verse 49 Therefore to thee will I give thanks the heathen folk among: •… nd to thy name, O Lord, I will sing praises in a song. verse 50 He great deliverance gives his King, He mercy doth extend To David his anointed one, and his seed without end.

PSAL. XIX. THe heavn's Gods glory do declare, the skyes his hand-works preach. verse 2 Day utters speech to day, and night to night doth knowledge teach. verse 3 There is no speech nor tongue, to whic •… their voice doth not extend. verse 4 Their line is gone through all the ear •… their words to th'worlds end: In them he set the sun a tent: verse 5 Who bride-groom like forth goes From's chamber, as a strong man doth, to run his race, reioyce. verse 6 From heav'ns end is his going forth, circling to th'end again: And there is nothing from his heat that hidden doth remain. verse 7 Gods Law is perfect, and converts the soul in sin that lyes: Gods testimony is most sure and makes the simple wise. verse 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, and do reioyce the heart: The Lords command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart. verse 9 Vnspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever: The iudgements of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. verse 10 They more then gold; yea, much fine 〈…〉 to be desired are: Then honey, from the honey comb that droppeth, sweeter far. verse 11 Moreover, they thy servant warn how he his life should frame: great reward provided is for them that keep the same. verse 12 Who can his errours understand? O cleanse thou me within, verse 13 From secret faults. Thy servant keep from all presumptuous sin, •… nd do not suffer them to have dominion over me: Then righteous and innocent I from much sin shall be. verse 14 The words which from my mouth procéed the thoughts sent from my heart •… ccept, O Lord, for thou my strength and my Redeemer art.

PSAL. XX. •… Ehovah hear thee in the day when trouble he doth send. •… nd let the name of Iacobs God thee from all ill defend. verse 2 O le • him help send from above out of his sanctuarie: From Sion his own holy hill, let him give strength to thee. verse 3 Let him remember all thy gifts, accept thy sacrifice. verse 4 Grant thée thine hearts wish, and fulfil thy thoughts and counsel wise. verse 5 In thy salvation we will ioy; in our Gods Name we will Display our banners, & the Lord thy prayers all fulfil. verse 6 Now know I, God his King doth save; He from His holy Heaven Will hear him with the saving strength by His own right hand given. verse 7 In chariots some put confidence some horses trust upon: But we remember will the Name of our Lord God alone. verse 8 We rise, and upright stand, when they are bowed down and fall. verse 9 Deliver, Lord, and let the King us hear when we do call.

PSAL. XXI. THe King in thy great strength, O Lo •… shall very joyful be, In thy salvation rejoyce how vehemently shall he; verse 2 Thou hast bestowed upon him all that his heart would have, And thou from him didst not withhold what e're his lips did crave. verse 3 For thou with blessings him prevent'st of goodness manifold; And thou hast set upon his head a crown of purest gold. verse 4 When he desired life of thee, thou life to him didst give: Ev'n such a length of dayes, that he for evermore should live. verse 5 In that salvation wrought by thee, his glory is made great, Honour and comly majesty thou hast upon him set. verse 6 Because that then for evermore most blessed hast him made. And thou hast with thy countenance made him exceeding glad. verse 7 Because the King upon the Lord his confidence doth lay, And through the grace of the most high, shall not be mov'd away. verse 8 Thine hand shall all those men find out that enemies are to thee. Ev'n thy right hand shall find out those of thee that haters be. verse 9 Like fiery ov'n thou shalt them make when kindled is thine tre: God shall them swallow in his wrath, devour them shall the fire. verse 10 Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy, their seed men from among. verse 11 For they beyond their might, 'gainst thée did plot mischief and wrong. verse 12 Thou therefore shalt make them turn back when thou thy shafts shalt place Vpon thy strings, made ready all to fly against their face. verse 13 In thy great pow'r and strength, O Lord, be thou exalted hie: •… o shall we sing with joyful hearts, thy power praise shall we.

O Blessed is the man, to whom is freely pardoned, All the transgressions he hath done, whose sin is covered. verse 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord impu • eth not his sin, And in whose sp'rit there is no guile, nor fraud is found therein. verse 3 When as I did refrain my spéech, and silent was my tongue, My bones then waxed old because I roared all day long. verse 4 For, upon me both day and night, thine hand did heavy ly; So that my moisture turned is in summers drought thereby. verse 5 I thereupon have unto thee my sin acknowledged, And likewise mine iniquity I have not covered: I will confess unto the Lord my trespasses said I; And of my sin thou freely didst forgive th'iniquity. verse 6 For this shal every godly one his prayer make to thee, In such a time he shall thee seek, as found thou mayest be. Surely, when floods of waters great, do swell up to the brim, They shall not overwhelm his soul, nor once come near to him. verse 7 Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt from trouble keep me free; Thou, with songs of deliverance, about shalt compass me. verse 8 I will instruct thee, and thee teach, the way that thou shalt go, And with mine eye upon thee set, I will direction show. verse 9 Then be not like the horse or mule, which do not understand: Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee a bridle must command. verse 10 Vnto the man that wicked is, his sorrows shall abound: But him that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass round. verse 11 Ye righteous in the Lord be glad, in him do ye rejoyce: All ye that upright are in heart, for joy lift up your voice.
