To the Godly Reader.

WE know that these Psalms, a [...] Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, tho' in other languages, (and so consequently in other poetical measures) were inspired by the Holy Ghost, to holy men of old, for the edification and comfort of the Church, and people of God, in all ensuing ages, to the end of the World. And for these holy ends, we have with special care and diligence translated them into such Meeters as are most usual and suitable for such holy Poems, in our own language; haveing a special eye, both to the gravity of the phrase of Sacred Writ, and sweetness of the verse. And for fuller satisfaction of the godly desires of all, we have added sundry interpretations, according to the latitude of the significations of the Hebrew Text, commonly noted with an Asterism thus [*] and some other various readings, though not so noted.

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying:

I To the Lord will Sing, for he
triumph'd in glory so:

[Page 6] The horse he and his rider down
into the Sea did throw.


verse 2 Jah is my strength and song, and he
is my salvation:
My God he is, I'll him prepare an habitation.

My Fathers God he is also,
I'll him exalt, the same


verse 3 Jehovah is a man of war,
Jehovah is his name.


verse 4 He Pharaohs chariots and his host
into the Sea hath cast:
And his choice captains drowned were
as i'th' Red Sea they past.

verse 5 The depths them hid, to th' bottom they
sank down even as a stone


verse 6 Jehovah thy right-hand in power
most glorious is become.
Lord thy right-hand in pieces dash'd
those that against thee rose.


verse 7 And in thine excellency great,
thou hast o'rethrown thy foes.

Thou didst send forth thy wrath, which as
the stubble did them waste,


verse 8 Together gathered were the waves
ev'n with thy nostrils blast:
The floods stood upright as an heap,
the depths in mid-sea froze.

[Page 7] 

verse 9 The foe said, I'll pursue, I'll catch,
I will the spoil dispose.

My lust on them shall filled be,
my sword draw out will I:
My hand shall them again possess,
or 'stroy them utterly.


verse 10 Thou with thy wind didst on them blow,
the Sea them covered:
They in the mighty waters sunk
as if they had been lead.

(2)


verse 11 Lord who's like thee among the gods?
who's like thee glorious
In holiness, fearful in praise,
in doings marvellous!


verse 12 When thou didst forth thy right-hand stretch
the earth them swallowed,

thou hast in mercy led.

Thou by thy strength shalt guide them to
that holy seat of thine,


verse 14 The folk shall hear & fear, & grieve
shall they of Palestine.

and Moabs mighty men
Trembling shall seiz, away shall melt

They shall lie still as doth a stone,
until thy people pass:
Until thy people Lord shall pass
which thou h

thy mount established.

The mount of thine inheritance,

The Prophetical Song of Moses, Deut. 32.

OH heavens give ye attentive ear,
to what I shall declare,
And also thou O Earth shalt hear
what my mouths sayings are.


verse 2 My Doctrine like the Rain shall drop,
my speech distil shall as
The dew, as rain on tender herbs,
and like the showers on grass.

verse 3 Because that I Jehovahs name
will publish all abroad:
See that ye greatness attribute
therefore unto our God.


verse 4 That Rock his work most perfect is,
for's ways all judgment be,
A God of truth, and without sin,
both j
 [...]st and right is he.

verse 5 But they defil'd themselves, their spot
is not his childrens stain,
A crooked generation they
and froward do remain.


verse 6 O foolish people and unwise,
the Lord thus pay do ye;
Thy father that thee bought and made,
and stablish'd is not he?

verse 7 Remember days of old, the years,
of every age mark well;
Thy father ask, and he'll thee shew;
thine elders will thee tell.


verse 8 When as the highest shar'd their lots
unto the nations;
When as the separation He
did make of Adams sons,

The borders of the people He
did set where they should dwell,

the sons of Israel.


verse 9 Because Jehovahs portion
his chosen people be,
The lot of his inheritance
Jacobs posterity.

and i' th' vast desarts cry:
He led him round, him taught, him kept
as th' apple of his eye.


verse 11 As th' eagle stirreth up her nest,
and flutters o're her young.
Spreads out her wings, and takes them up
bears them her wings upon,

verse 12 Ev'n in such wise Jehovah led
him up and down alone.
A forreign God also with him
there was not any one

[Page 11] 

verse 13 . Upon high places of the earth
he caused him to ride,
That with the increase of the fields
he might be satisfy'd.

The honey from the rock also
to suck he did them make,
He from the flinty rock likewise
did make him oyl to take.


verse 14 On butter thou of kine, and on
the mi
 [...]k of sheep didst feed;
With fat of lambs, and goats and rams,
that were of Bashans breed.

Togethe
 [...] with the 
 [...]atness of

 [...]he wheaten kid
 [...]ies fine;
Thou of the grapes didst also drink
the blood refined wine.

(2)


verse 15 But Jesurun then waxed fat,
and wantonly did kick:
Thou art grown fat, thou gross art grown
art clos'd with fatness thick.
Then he forsook the mighty God,
who had him magnifi'd,
The Rock of his salvation,
he also vilifi'd.

verse 16 They with strange gods, his jealousie
did kindle as a fire,

[Page 12]And with abominations
they did provoke his ire.


verse 17 They did to devils. Not to God,
their sacrifices there;
To gods unknown, new up-starts whom
their fathers did not fear.

verse 18 The Rock who thee begotten hath,
remembred hast thou not:
The mighty God who formed thee,
thou also hast forgot.


verse 1 
 [...] And this Jehovah saw, and he
despising them did loath;
Because of the provoking of
his sons and daughters both:

verse 20 He said, I'll hide my face from them,
what is their end I'll see:
For they a very froward race,
they faithless children be.


verse 21 With that which is no god, they have
me mov'd to jealousie;
They have provoked me to wrath,
wit
 [...] idol
 [...] vanity.

With what's no people I'll provoke,
them unto jealousie;
Them with a foolish nation
to anger move will I.

[Page 13]

verse 22 For fire enkindled in my wrath,
shall burn to hell below,
And waste the earth with her increase,
hills bottoms fire also.


verse 23 I mischiefs will upon them heap,
mine arrows on them spend,
With hunger burnt wi
 [...]h heat devour'd,
with bitter plagues them end.

verse 24 The teeth of cruel 
 [...]easts I will,
upon them send also:
The poison of the serpents too,
which on the dust do go.


verse 25 The sword without, & dread within
young men and maids bereave;
Which neither shall the sucking babe,
nor hoary headed leave.

verse 26 And into corners I did say,
that I would scatter them;
I'll their remembrance make to cease
from 'mongst the sons of men.


verse 27 But that I fear'd their enemies wrath
their foes thereat would strange,
And say, our high hand, not the Lord,
it is, wroug
 [...]t all this change.

verse 28 For they'r a nation counselless
nor understanding find,

[Page 14] 

verse 29 O were they wise, this understood,
their latter end would mind.


verse 30 How should one chase a thousand, two
ten thousand put to flight?
Had not their rock them sold, and them
Jehovah shut up quite.

verse 31 Because their rock unto our Rock,
is not to be compar'd,
Yea, though our enemies themselves
as judges should be heard.


verse 32 For their vine is of Sodoms vine,
and of Gomorrahs field;
Their grapes are grapes of gall, to them
they bitter clusters yield.

verse 33 Their wine as Dragons poyson is,
and Adders cruel gall,


verse 34 Is not this stor'd with me and seal'd,
amongst my treasures all?

(4)


verse 35 Vengeance is mine and recompence,
in time their foot shall slide:
For their wo-day is nigh, and soon
mishaps shall them betide.


verse 36 Because the Lord his folk shall judge,
for's servants to repent,
When none shut up or left he seeth,
and that their power is spent.

[Page 15]


verse 37 And he shall say, those gods of theirs
now where become are they?
Where is the rock on whom they did
their expectation stay?


verse 38 Which ate their sacrifices fat,
drank their wine offerings too?
Let them arise, help you and be
a hid
 [...]ng place for you.

verse 39 See now that I, even I am he,
and there's no god with me;
I kill and quicken, wound and heal,
none from my hand can free.


verse 40 For I to heaven lift mine hand,
and say I live for aye.


verse 41 If my bright sword I whet, and if
my hand on judgment stay.

I'll render vengeance to my foes,
I'll pay them that me hate.


verse 42 I'll make mine arrows drunk with blood
and flesh my sword shall eat:
For blood of slain, and of them that
are in captivity,
More than from first revenges were
upon the enemy.

verse 43 Sing joyfully ye nations, with
those that his people be:
Because that of his servants all
revenge the blood will he.

[Page 16]And to his adversaries he,
will render vengea
 [...]c
 [...] due,
And he will mercy to his land,
and to his people shew.

the God of Israel.

high ways in Jaels days,
Untrodden were: the passengers
did travel through by-ways.

verse 17 The villagers did cease to be,
they ceas'd in Israel:
Till that I Deborah rose; I ro

a mother in Israel.

verse 8 New gods they chose, then wars arose,
and in the gates have been,
'Mongst forty thousand Israelites,
was shield or spear then seen?


verse 9 My heart to Israels rulers is,
that did of free accord,
Present themselves amongst the folk
bless ye therefore the Lord.

verse 10 Speak ye your minds all ye that do
upon white asses ride,
Ye that in judgment sit, and ye
that wa

verse 11 Who from the archers noise were freed,
there shall they now record.
In places where t

the just acts of the Lord.

His righteous acts to them that dwell
in Israels towns relate,
Then shall the people of the Lord,
go down unto the gate.

verse 12 Wake wake O Deborah wake awake,
a song sing; Barak rise,

[Page 18]Abinoams son, and captive lead
thou thy captivities.


verse 13 Unto the remnant he gave rule
above the Nobles then
Amongst the folk: the Lord gave me
rule over mighty men.

verse 14 From out of Ephraim a root
'gainst Amaleck there was:
Thy followers O Benjamin
amongst thy folk did pass.
From out of Machir governours▪
descended also then,
And out of Zebulun came they
that handle writers pen.

verse 15 And Issachar even Issachar
his peers with Deborah went
And also Barak was on foot
into the valley sent.
Because of those divisions that
in Reuben did appear
Full many great impressions
of heart amongst us 
 [...]re.

verse 16 Why didst thou 'mongst the sheep-folds stay,
the bleating flocks to hear?
For Reuben his divisions
heart-searchings great there were.


verse 17 Gilead by Jordan stay'd; but why
did Dan in Ships reside?

[Page 19]On Sea-shore Ashur did remain,
and in his creeks abide.

verse 18 Both Zebulun and Naphtali
a people that did yield
Their lives in danger unto death
upon the open field.

verse 19 The kings came & they fought, then fought
the kings of Canaan,
In Taanach by Megiddo's streams,
no money-gain they wan.


verse 20 From heav'n they fought, the stars by course
did fight 'gainst Sisera:


verse 21 Then Kishons brook, old Kishons brook
that brook them swept away.

O thou my soul hast trod down strength.


verse 22 Then broke their horse-hoofs were,
By plunging pransing, pransings of
their mighty horses there.

The prey by poll, a maid or twain,
what parted have not they?
Have they nor parted Sisera
a party coloured prey.
A party coloured neild work prey

My mouth enlarg'd is o're my foe
For in thy health rejoyce do I

And other R

No h

For God of knowledge is the Lord,
Also by him are actions weigh'd.


verse 4 The strong mens bows are shivered,
And they that slipt are girt with might:

And c

So that

The

verse 6 The Lord doth kill, and life doth spare,
He lifts up, and to grave brings down.

verse 7 The Lord both poor & rich doth make:
He raiseth up and bringeth low,

He beggar lifts the dunghil fro.

To give them place with princely lords,

For no man shall by strength prevail.

And make his Oynteds horn to rise.

Davids Elegy, 2 Sam. 1.17. And David lamented with this Lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his Son

verse 19 UPon the places high is slain
the flower of Israel.
How are the mighty fallen down!


verse 20 In Gath this never tell.

[Page 23]Nor shew't in st
 [...]ets of Askelon,
lest Philistines rejoyce:
Lest daughters of th' uncircumcis'd,
should make triumphant noise.

verse 21 Ye mountains high of Gilboah,
let there be never dew,
Nor rain, nor fields of offerings
let ever be on you:
For there the mighty one, his shield
receiv'd disgraceful foil:
The shield of 
Saul, as he had not
anointed been with oyl.

verse 22 The bow of 
Jon'than did not turn
back from the blood of th' slain,
From far o' th' mighty: and Sauls sword
did not return in vain.


verse 23 Most lovely 
Saul and 
Jonathan,
and pleasant did abide
While they did live, and in their death
them nothing did divide.

They swifter than the eagles were,
the lions did excel


verse 24 In strength. O weep ye over Saul,
daughters of Israel.
Who did in scarlet you array,
with deckings manifold,
Who did on your apparel lay
the Ornaments of Gold.

[Page 24]


verse 25 In middest of the battel how,
the mighty fallen lie,
O Jonathan cut off wast thou,
upon thy places high!


verse 26 O thou my brother Jonathan,
I am distrest for thee,
A loving kind companion
thou hast been unto me.

Thy love to me in wonder past
the love of women far:


verse 27 How are the mighty fall'n and wast
the weapons be of war!

PSAL. I.

O Blessed man that walks not in
th' advice of wicked men,
Nor standeth in the sinners way,
nor scorners seat sits in.


verse 2 But he upon Jehovahs law
doth set his whole delight,
And in his law doth meditate.
both in the day and night.

verse 3 He shall be like a planted tree,
by water-brooks which shall
In his due season yield his fruit,
whose leaf shall never fall:

[Page 25]And all he doth shall prospel well.


verse 4 The wicked are not so:
But they are like unto the chaff
which wind drives to and fro.

verse 5 Therefore shall not ungodly men
in judgment stand upright,
Nor in th'
 [...] assembly of the just
shall stand the sinful wight.


verse 6 For of the righteous men the Lord
acknowledgeth the way;
Whereas the way of wicked men
shall utterly decay.

PSAL. II.

WHy rage the heathen furiously,
vain things the people muse?


verse 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,
and Princes plotting use
With one consent against the Lord;
against his Christ also,


verse 3 Let us asunder break their bands,
and their cords from us throw.

verse 4 He that in heaven sits shall laugh,
the Lord deride them shall.


verse 5 Then to them in his ire he'l speak
in's wrath sore vex them all.


verse 6 But I anoint my King upon
Zion my holy hill.

verse 7 The counsel that establish'd is
declare abroad I will.

The Lord to me said, Thou'rt my Son,
this day I thee begot.
Ask thou of me, and I will give
the heathen for thy lot;
And of the earth thou shalt possess


verse 8 The utmost coasts abroad.
Thou shalt them break as potters sherd,


verse 9 And crush with iron rod.

verse 10 And now ye kings be wise, be learn'd
earth's judges ye that are▪


verse 11 Serve ye the Lord with reverence,
rejoyce with trembling fear,


verse 12 Kiss ye the son lest he be wroth
and ye fall in the way,
When his wrath but a little burns,
bless'd all that on him stay.

PSAL. III. A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom his Son

O Lord my foes how great are they?
How many up against me stand.


verse 2 No help is to my soul they say,
In God for him at any hand.


verse 3 My shield and glory yet art thou
Lord and th' up-lifter of my head.

[Page 27] 

verse 4 I with my voice to J

From's holy hill me answered. Selah.

verse 5 I lay down slept, and wake did I,
For me Jehovah up did bear.


verse 6 The folk that round against me ly,
Ten thousands of them I'll not fear.


verse 7 O Lord my God, to save me rise;
For all mine enemies thou hast stroke
Upon the cheek-bone: thou likewise
The teeth hast of the wicked broke.

verse 8 This and all such salvation
Unto Jehovah doth pertain:
Thy people specially upon
Thy blessing doth and shall remain▪

PSAL IV. To the chief Musician on Neginoth. A Psalm of David.

GOd of my justice, when I call,
O hear me: when distrest
Thou hast enlarg'd me, shew me grace,
and hear thou my request.


verse 2 Ye sons of men my glory turn
to shame how long will you?
How long will ye love vanity,
and still deceit pursue? Selah▪

verse 3 But know the Lord hath set apart
for him his gracious saint:

[Page 28]The Lord will hear when unto him
I pour out my complaint.


verse 4 Be stirred up, but do not sin,
consider seriously
Within your heart with silence deep
when on your bed you lie.

verse 5 The sacrifice of righteousness
let sacrificed be:
And confidently put your trust
upon the Lord do ye.


verse 6 Many there be that say, O who
will cause us good to see?
The light Lord of thy countenance
let on us lifted be.

verse 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than the time wherein
Their corn and their new wine also
have much increased been.


verse 8 In peace with him I will lie down
and I my sleep will take:
For me in confidence to dwell,
thou, Lord, alone dost make.

PSAL. V. To the chief Musician on Neh [...]iloth: A Psa [...]m of David.

O Lord give ear to what I say,
My meditation understand.

verse 2 My King, my God, to thee I pray,
Voice of my cry do thou attend.


verse 3 My voice the morning time within
O thou Jehovah shalt it hear:
I will to thee i' th' morning time
Address, and will mine eyes up rear.

verse 4 For thou'rt a God hast no delight
In sin; nor ill dwell with thee shall.


verse 5 Fools shall not stand before thy sight,
Who mischief work thou hat'st them all.


verse 6 Thou wilt bring to destruction quite
Them that do lying falshood pra

The man of blood, and of deceit▪

verse 7 But in thy many mercies now
Enter into thy house will I▪
I in thy fear my self will bow
Before thy house of sanctity.


verse 8 Because of mine observing spies
Lead me forth in thy righteousness:
Before my face thy way likewise
Do thou Jehovah straight express.

verse 9 For in their mouth no truth they have,
Their inward part iniquities;
Their throat is as an open grave.
Their tongue is smooth with flatteries.


verse 10 O God make thou them wholly waste,
From their own plots let them fall far;

[Page 30]Out in their heaps of sin them cast,
For they against thee rebells are.

verse 11 Let them who trust in thee repose
Rejoyce and ever shouting be;
For thou defend'st them, yea, let those
That love thy name be glad in thee.


verse 12 Bec

A blessing to the righteous one.
And wilt him crown as with a shield,
With gracious acceptation.

PSAL. V. Second Meeter

JEhovah to my words give ear,
my meditation weigh


verse 2 My King, my God, my cries voice hear:
for I to thee will pray.


verse 3 Thou in the morn my voice shalt hear
Lord in the morning I
Will unto thee direct my prayer,
and will look up on high.

verse 4 For thou art not a God that will
in wickedness delight.
Nor shall with thee dwell any ill.


verse 5 Nor fools st

Craftsmen of sin thou hat'st all them▪
thou shalt him stroy that lies:
The Lord will lo
 [...]h the bloody man,
and them that guile devise.

[Page 31]


verse 7 But I will to thy house draw near
in thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear
towards thy holy place.


verse 8 Conduct me in thy righteousness
by reason of my spies:
O Lord thy ways most straight express
also before mine eyes.

verse 9 For in their mouth no faith they have,
their inward part is wrong:
Their throat is as an open grave,
they flatter with their tongue


verse 10 O God make thou them wholly waste,
them from their plots let fall:
Out in their 
 [...]eaps of sin them cast,
for 'gainst thee fre

verse 11 But let all joy that trust in thee,
shout ever let the same,
For thou defe

verse 12 For thou Lord wilt thy

unto the righteous one:
And wilt him crown as with a shield
with acceptation.

PSAL VI. To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a Psalm of David.

[Page 32]
LOrd, in thy wrath rebuke me not
Nor in thy hot wrath chasten me,


verse 2 Lord pitty me for I am weak,
Lord heal me, for my bones vex'd be


verse 3 Also my soul is vexed sore:
How long, Lord, wilt thou me forsake?


verse 4 Return, O Lord, my soul release▪
O save for thy mercies sake.

verse 5 In death no mem'ry is of thee,
And who shall praise thee in the grave?

verse 6 I faint with groans: all night my bed
Swims: I with tears my couch wash'd have.

verse 7 Mine eye with grief is dim and old
Because of all mine enemies.

verse 8 But now depart away from me,
All ye that work iniquites:

Because Jehovah now hath heard
The voice of these my weeping tears:


verse 9 The Lord hath heard my humble suit,
Jehovah will receive my pray
 [...]rs.


verse 10 Let all mine enemies be asham'd,
And greatly troubled let them be:
Yea let them be returned back,
And be ashamed suddenlie.

PSAL. VI. Second Meeter.

JEhovah, O rebuke me not
when thou shalt angry be:

[Page 33]And in thine indignation hot,
O do not chasten me:


verse 2 O Lord, because that weak am I
be gracious unto me:
Jehovah, heal thou me, for why
my bones they vexed be.

verse 3 And vex'd my soul is vehemently▪
but thou Lord, how long space?


verse 4 Return O Lord, my soul set free,
O save me for thy grace.


verse 5 For they who are in death, at all
of thee no mem'ry have,
With thanks confess to thee who shall
that is within the grave?

verse 6 I tired am with groaning cries,
to swim I make my bed
Thro' all the night; my couch likewise
with tears I watered.


verse 7 With grievous indignation
consumed are mine eyes:
And they are old and dim become
'mongst all mine enemies.

verse 8 All ye that work iniquity
away from me be gone:
Because the Lord hath heard the cry
of my complaining moan.


verse 9 My humble suit for grace also
Jehovah doth it hear:

[Page 34]Jehovah will my prayer unto
vouchsafe a gracious ear.


verse 10 Asham'd and v

be all mine enemies:
Let them return, and suddenly
let them be sham'd likewise.

PSAL VII. Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.

O Lord my God, I do repose
my confidence in thee:
From all my persecuting foes
save and deliver me.


verse 2 Lest like a renting Lion he
my soul in pieces tear,
He tears, and to deliver me
there doth-not one appear.

verse 3 O Lord that art a God to me,
if this thing done have I,
And if that in my hands there be
wrongful iniquity:


verse 4 If ill rewarded him have I
with me who was at peace
(Who causless was mine enemy,
yea I did him release)

verse 5 My soul pursue then let my foe,
take it, yea tread to clay

[Page 35]My life, and in the dust also
let him my honour lay▪


verse 6 Because mine enemies rage, arise
Lord, in thy wrath up stand.
Awake thou up for me likewise,
thou Judgment didst command.

verse 7 The peoples congregation so
shall round encompass thee,
And for 
 [...] same return do thou
unto thy place on high.


verse 8 The Lord the peoples Judge shall be;
J
 [...]hovah judge thou me
After my righteousness in me,
and mine integrity.

(2)


verse 9 Let cease the wickeds malice now,
but the just ratifie;
Because, O righteous God, even thou
the hearts and reins dost trie.


verse 10 For God my shield, them that are right
in heart, he saved hath.


verse 11 God that doth judge the righteous wight,
God daily kindleth wrath.

verse 12 Unless that turning he repent,
his sword he sharp will whet:
Already he his bow hath bent,
and hath it ready set.

[Page 36] 

verse 13 The instruments of death for him
he ready doth prepare:
His arrows ready makes for them
that persecutors are.

verse 14 Behold he shall in travel be
with vain iniquity:
And mischef sore conceiv'd hath he,
but shall bring forth a lie.


verse 15 A pit he digged hath likewise,
he delved deep the same,
But faln into the ditch he is
that he himself did frame.

verse 16 His own mischievous travel shall
upon his head turn down;
His dealing violent shall fall
likewise upon his crown.


verse 17 According to his righteousness
Jehovah praise will I;
And to his name a Psalm address,
who is the Lord most high.

PSAL. VIII. To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

O Lord our Lord in all the earth
how doth thy name excell!
Who hast above the heavens set
thy Maj

[Page 37] 

verse 2 Out of the mouth of sucking babes
thou fittest strength also,
That thou might'st still thine enemies
and self-avenging foe.

verse 3 When as thy heavens I behold,
thy fingers work which are.
The moon together with the stars,
the which thou didst prepare:


verse 4 O what is wretched man that thus
in mind thou shouldst him have?
And what the son of man whom thou
to visit dost vouchsafe?

verse 5 For than the Angels thou hast him
a little made more low;
With glory thou hast crowned him,
with majesty also.


verse 6 Above thy handy-works thou hast
giv'n him dominion;
All things thou hast under his feet
put in subjection.

verse 7 The sheep and oxen all of them
also the field-beasts; yea


verse 8 The fowls that in the air do flie,
and fishes of the sea;


verse 9 Of those that pass thro' paths of sea,
what-thing-soever else;
O Lord, our Lord, in all the earth
O how thy name excels!

PSAL. IX. To the chief Musician upon Muth Labben, A Psalm of David.

LOrd I'll thee praise wi

verse 2 I will be glad and j

most high, I'll sing 
 [...]hy name.


verse 3 In turning back, my foes 
 [...]hey'l fall,
and perish at thy sight.


verse 4 For thou maintain'st my right and cause
in throne sit'st judging right.

verse 5 Thou hast the heathen folk rebuk'd,
and wicked ones dest

For ever and for evermore
thou hast their names made void.


verse 6 Destructions (O thou foe) are come
to end perpetual:
Thou hast stroy'd cities, they are gone,
with their memorial.

verse 7 Nevertheless Jehovah shall
for evermore endure;
And unto judgment he his Throne
prepared hath most sure.


verse 8 And he the habitable world
shall judge in righteousness;
Unto the people judgment give
he shall in uprightness.

verse 9 A refuge for oppr
 [...]ssed ones
Jehovah shall become;

[Page 39]A refuge high he is to them
in seasons troublesome.


verse 10 They also that do know thy Name,
in thee will put their trust:
For them that do thee seek, O Lord,
forsake thou never dost.

(2)


verse 11 O sing ye praises to the Lord,
that doth in Sion dwell:
The deeds also that he hath done
among the people tell.


verse 12 He to remembrance doth them call,
when he for blood doth seek;
He also never doth forget
the crying of the meek.

verse 13 Jehovah, mercy on me have
from them that do me hat
 [...];
Mark mine afflictions that arise,
thou lift'st me from deaths gate.


verse 14 That I in Sions daughters gates
thy praises all may sh

And that in thy salvation
I may rejoyce also.

verse 15 The heathen are sunk down into
the pit that they had made:
Their 
 [...]oot is taken in the net
which privily they laid.

[Page 40] 

verse 16 By judgment which he executes,
Jehovah is made known:
The wicked's snar'd in's handy work,
Deep Meditation.

verse 17 Down into hell the wicked ones
shall turned be together.
And all the nations of the world
that do not God remember.


verse 18 Because the needy ones shall not
forgotten be alway?
The expectation of the poor
for aye shall not decay.

verse 19 O let not wretched man prevail,
but O J

The heathen people in thy sight
let judged be likewise.


verse 20 Jehovah do thou put in fear
ev'n every one of them:
That so the nations they may know
that they be sorry men. Selah.

PSAL. X.

WHy stand'st thou Lord far off? why hid'st
thy self in times of strait


verse 2 In pride the wicked pers

the poor afflicted wight:
Caught be they in their plots forecast.


verse 3 For of his hearts desire

[Page 41]The wicked boasts; and bless he doth
the churl, that stirs Gods ire.

verse 4 The wicked one according to
his countenances pride
Will not inquire: that there's no God
so all his thoughts abide.


verse 5 His ways do always bring forth grief,
on high thy judgments be
Above his sight: his pressing foe
 [...]
puff at them all will he.

verse 6 Within his heart he thus hath said,
I shall not moved be,
From age to age that am not yet
in ill adversity.


verse 7 His mouth with cursing filled is,
deceits and fallacy,
Under his tongue perverseness is,
also iniquity.

verse 8 In lurking places of the towns
he sits; in secret dens
He slays the harmless, 'gainst the poor
his eyes down slily bends


verse 9 He closely lurks as Lion lurks
in den the poor to catch:
He lurks and trapping them in's net
th' afflicted poor doth snatch.

verse 10 Down doth he crouch, and to the dust
he humbly bows withal,

[Page 42]That so a multitude of poor
in his strong paws may 
 [...]all.


verse 11 He saith in's heart God hath forgot,
he bides his face away,
So that he will not see this thing
unto eternal aye.

verse 12 Jehovah rise thou up, O God
lift up 
 [...]hine hand on high,
Cast not the meek afflicted one
out of thy memory.


verse 13 O wherefore doth the wicked man
contemn th' almighty one.
He in his heart saith, thou wilt not
make inquisition.

verse 14 Thou seest, for thou mark'st wrong & spight
wi

The poor leaves it to thee: thou art
of fatherless the stay.


verse 15 The wickeds arm in pieces break,
and o

Search thou out his impiety,
until thou findest none.

verse 16 Jehovah King for ever is:
and to eternal aye
Out of his land the heathen folk
are perished away.

Jehovah thou dost hear:
Thou firmly dost prepare their heart,

PSAL XI To the chief Musician, A Psa [...]m of David.

I in the Lord do put my trust,
how therefore do you say
Unto my soul, like as a bird
fly to your hill away?


verse 2 For lo the wick

That they may shoot i' th' dark at them

verse 3 If that the fi

Yet for the man that righ

verse 4 The L

the Lord's throne's in the sk

His eyes

the sons of men will trie.

[Page 44]


verse 5 The man that truly righteous is,
ev'n him the Lord will prove:
His soul the wicked hates, and him
that violence doth love.


verse 6 Snares fire and brimstone he will rain
ungodly men upon;
And burning tempest of their cup
shall be the portion.

verse 7 Because the Lord that righteous is,
all righteousness doth love:
His countenance the upright one
beholding doth approve.

PSAL. XII. To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

SAve O Jehovah now because
the godly one doth cease;
For from amongst the sons of men
the faithful do decrease.


verse 2 Unto his neighbour every one
speaks lying vanities:
They with a flattering lip do speak;
with double heart likewise.

verse 3 Jehovah shall cut off ev'n all
the lips of flatterings,
And he shall cut off every tongue
which boasteth of great things.

[Page 45] 

verse 4 Which thus have said, we with our tongues
prevailing power shall get,
Are not our lips our own? for who
lord over us is set?

verse 5 Thus saith the Lord, for sighs of them
that want, for poor opprest,
I now will rise, from such as puff
at him, will give him rest.


verse 6 Jehovahs words, pure words they be
as silver that is tri'd
In earthen furnace, seven times
that hath been purifi'd.

verse 7 Thou shalt them keep, O Lord thou shalt
preserve them every one
For evermore in safety from
this generation.


verse 8 The wicked men on everie side
do walk presumptuouslie,
When vileness by the sons of men
exalted is on high.

PSAL. XIII. To the chief Musi [...]ian, A Psalm of David.

JEhovah, O how long wilt thou
forget me? what for aye?
How long wilt thou so closely hide
from me thy face away?

[Page 46] 

verse 2 How long shall I in soul consult,
in hearts grief daily go?
How long exalted over me
shall be my deadly foe?

Consider me, O Lord my God,
and answer me 
 [...]ewise,
Lest that I sleep the sleep of death,
enlighten thou mine eyes.


verse 4 Lest that mine enemies should say,
against him I prevail;
Lest those that trouble me rejoyce
if being mov'd I fail.

verse 5 But I have set my confidence
thy bounteous grace upon,
My heart shall very much rejoyce
in thy salvation.
Unto J

sing joyfullie will I,
Because that he hath dealt with me
exceeding bounte

PSAL. XIV. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

THe fo

Abom

[Page 47] 

verse 2 The Lord from heaven looked down
on sons of men to see
If any that doth understand,
that seeketh God there be.

verse 3 They altogether fil

they all aside are gone;
There is not any that doth good,
no not so much as one.


verse 4 The workers of iniquitie
do they not know at all!
That ea

on God they do not call.

verse 5 There with a very grievous fear,
affrighted sore they were;
For God i' th' generation is
of such as righteous are.


verse 6 The counsel of the poor opprest
ashamed you would make:
And that because Jehovah he
doth for his refuge take.

verse 7 Who Israels health from Sion gives?
his folks cap

PSAL XV. A Psalm of David.

O Lord who in thy tabernacle

verse 2 The man that walketh uprightlie,
that worketh righteousness;
And he who from his heart doth speak
the words of faithfulness.

verse 3 Who with his tongue backbiteth not,
nor doth his neighbour hurt:
Nor yet against his neighbour doth
take up an ill report.


verse 4 Whose eies contemn the person vile▪
but those the Lord that fear,
He honours them, and changeth not,
though to his hurt he swear.

verse 5 Nor gives his coin to usury:
nor take a bribe doth he
Against the harmless: thus who doth

PSAL. XVI. Mictam, or, a Golden Psa [...]m of David.

And to them that a

[Page 49]


verse 4 Who to strange gods do hasten gifts,
their griefs shall multiplie:
Their blood-drink-offrings I'll not pour
their names my lips shall flie▪


verse 5 Jehovah is the portion
of mine inheritance;
So is he likewise of my cup,
thou dost maintain my chance.

verse 6 The lines that faln are unto me,
in pleasant places are:
Yea, goodly is the heritage
that falleth to my share.


verse 7 I will Jehovah humbly bless,
who counsels me aright:
My reins also do me instruct
in seasons of the night.

verse 8 Before me I the Lord have set
as present evermore:
Because he is at my right hand,
I shall not slide therefore.


verse 9 Therefore my heart rejoyceth much,
my glory's glad withal.
Moreover 
 [...] dwell in hope
my f

verse 10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul

Nor suffer wilt thy holy one
corruption for to see.

fulness of joyes b

Thy presence, and at thy right hand
are pleasures evermore.

PSAL. XVII. A Prayer of David.

JEhovah hearken to the right,
attend unto my cry:
Give ear unto my pray'r that goes
from lips that do not lie.


verse 2 My judgment from thy face let come,
thine eyes let see the right.
Mine heart thou hast examined,
and visited by night.

verse 3 Thou hast me as in furnace tri'd,
and yet shalt nothing find:
For that my mouth shall not transgress
I am resolv'd in mind.


verse 4 For what concerns the works of men,
by thy lips words have I
The paths of him that doth destroy
observed heedfullie.

verse 5 Uphold thou my forth-going steps
within thy beaten way:

 [...]est otherwise at any time
my footsteps go astray.


verse 6 Because that thou wilt answer me,
O God, on thee 
I call:

[Page 51]Incline thou unto me thine ear
hear thou my speech withal.

verse 7 Shew forth thy wondrous grace on them
that trust on thee repose:
O thou that sav'st by thy right han

from self up-lifting foes.


verse 8 As th' apple of thine eye me keep,
in thy wings shade me hide:


verse 9 From wicked men my deadly foe
 [...],
who waste me on each side.

verse 10 Clos'd in their fat they are, and they
boast with their mouth likewise:


verse 11 They round us in our steps: on earth
they set their bow'd down eyes.


verse 12 He like a renting lion i

that ready is to tear;
In secret places sits as he
a renting lion were.

verse 13 Arise, do thou his face prevent,
make him bow down, O Lord:
O set my soul at freedom from
the wicked one thy sword▪


verse 14 From mortal men thy hand O Lord
from men that mortal are;
And of this passing world who have
within this life their share.

[Page 52]
Thou with thine hidden treasure dost
their b

Their sons are fill'd, their residue
they leave their babes unto.


verse 15 In righteousness thy favour I
shall v

And waking with thine Image I
shall satisfied be.

PSAL. XVIII. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spake unto the Lord the words of this song, in the day that the Lord delivered him from all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,

I'LL dearlie love the Lord my strength,


verse 2 The Lord's my rock, my fort likewise
And saviour mine, my God, my strength,
My shield on whom my trust relies.
My safeties horn, my tower likewise,


verse 3 Upon Jehovah I will call
Who to be praised worthy is;
So from my foes be sav'd I shall.

verse 4 Death
 [...] sorrows me encompassed,
And floods of B
 [...]lial frighted me.


verse 5 Hells pangs me 
 [...]ound environed:
The snares of dea
 [...] preven
 [...]ed me.

[Page 53] 

verse 6 In my stra
 [...]s on the Lord call'd 
I,
And to my God cry'd; he did hear
My voice from's temp
 [...]e, and my cry
Before him came into his ear.

verse 7 Then th
 [...] earth did shake & quake, likewise
Mov'd hills foundations shook at's ire.


verse 8 Smoak from his nost
 [...]ils did arise
And from his mouth devouring fire,
By it the coals enkindled were.


verse 9 Likewise the heavens he down bow'd
And he descended; also there
Was at his feet a gloomy cloud.

verse 10 And he on cherubs rode apace
Yea on the wings of wind he flew.


verse 11 He darkness made his secret place,
His covert round about him drew
D
 [...]rk wat
 [...]rs, and thick clouds of skies.


verse 12 From brightness that before him was
His thickned clouds did pass likewise
Hail-stones, and coals of fire did pass.

(2)


verse 13 J
 [...]hovah thundered forth also
Within the heavens in his ire,
The Highest caus'd his voice to go
Hail stones and burning coals o
 [...] fire.


verse 14 Yea he his arrows did send out
And bruising he them scattered:

[Page 54]And lightnings he did hurl about
And them with dread discom
 [...]ted.

verse 15 The channels where the waters past

 [...] the ground-works of the world
Appear'd at thy rebuke, at blast
Of thy displeasures breath, O Lord.


verse 16 He from above sent, he me set,
The waters great he drew me fro:


verse 17 From my strong foes me free he set▪
From them that hated me also.

For they were mightier than I.

verse 18 They me prevented in the day
Of that my dark calamity,
Yet was the Lord for me a stay.

verse 19 And he me led a large place to:
He sav'd me, for he did delight

verse 20 In me. The Lord repay'd me so,
According as I did aright.

After the pureness of my hands
He gave a recompence to me:

verse 21 Because I kept the Lord's commands:
Nor I from God went wickedly.

verse 22 For's judgments all were in my sight;
Nor from me his decrees put I:

verse 23 And I before him was upright,
Me kept from mine iniquity.

[Page 55]
(3)


verse 24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me
According as I did aright:
After mine hands integrity,
That did appear before his sight▪


verse 25 With p
 [...]rsons merciful that are
Thou merciful thy self wilt show.
Thou upright wilt thy self declare
With such as upright are also.

verse 26 With such as follow purity,
That thou art pure thou wilt declare;
But thou wilt turn thy self awry
Against them all that froward are.


verse 27 Because thou safetie wilt afford
To poor folk; but high looks suppress:


verse 28 For thou wilt light my lamp, the Lord
My God will lighten my darkness▪

verse 29 For through a troop by thee I ride;
And by my God leap'd o're a wall


verse 30 God's way's intire, the Lord's word tri'd:
That trust in him, he's shield to all.


verse 31 For who is God the Lord but He?
Or who a Rock our God b
 [...]side?


verse 32 It's God with strength that girdeth me,
And me in perfect way doth guide.

verse 33 He makes my feet like as the roe,
And on my high place makes me stand.

[Page 56] 

verse 34 Mine arms do break the brasen bow;
So well to war he learns my hand.


verse 35 And of thy saving health the shield
Thou hast bestowed upon me:
And thy right hand hath me upheld,
Thy meekness made me great to be.

(4)

verse 36 Thou under me my steps mad'st large,
So that my ankles did not slide.

verse 37 My foes pursue I, and o'recharge,
I turn'd not till they were destroy'd.

verse 38 I pierc'd them that they could not rise
They at my feet did fall subdu'd.

verse 39 For thou hast girded me likewise
Unto the war with fortitude.

Thou hast subdued under me
Th
 [...]se that did up against me rise,


verse 40 My foes th
 [...]ir necks thou gav
 [...]st me,
That I might waste mine enemies.


verse 41 They cry'd; but none to save they find:
To God, but with no answer meet.


verse 42 I beat them then as dust i' th' wind,
And cast them out as dirt i' th' street.

verse 43 And thou hast me delivered
Fr
 [...]m people that contentious be:
Thou of the h
 [...]athen mad'st me head,
The 
 [...]o
 [...]k I knew not, shall serve me.

[Page 57] 

verse 44 They'll at first hearing me obey:
Themselves shall strangers yield to me.


verse 45 The strangers sons shall fade away,
And from their closets frighted be.

(5)


verse 46 Live Lord, & let my rock be blest:
God of my health exalted be.


verse 47 God that for me revenge express'd
And brings down people under me.


verse 48 He sav'd me from mine enemies
And thou didst lift me higher then
Those that did up against me rise;
And freed'st me from the violent men▪

verse 49 I will therefore to thee confess
With thanks the heathen folk among;
Jehovah to thy name express
My praises will I in a song.

Unto his King; and doth display
His mercy to's anointed one,
To David and his seed for aye.

PSAL. XIX. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.

DEclare abroad the heavens do
the Majestie of God:
And forth the firmament doth show
his handy-work abroad.

verse 2 Day speaks to day, night hath likewise
knowledge to night declar'd.


verse 3 There neither speech nor language is
where their voice is not heard.

verse 4 The coasts of all the earth throughout
their line is gone unto:
The ends of all the world about,
their words do reach unto.


verse 5 A tabernacle he in those
hath 
 [...] for the sun;
Who bridegroom like from's chamber goe
 [...]
glad giants race to run.

verse 6 The utmost end of heavens fro
his course and compassing
To th' ends thereof: from's heat also
there hidden is no thing.

verse 7 Jehovah's law is perfect pure
and doth the soul convert▪
Jehovah's Testimony sure
makes wise the simple heart.


verse 8 The Statutes of the Lord are right
and do rejoyce the heart:
The Lord's command is pure, and light
doth to the eyes impart.

verse 9 Clean is Jehovah's awful fear,
and doth endure for ever.

[Page 59]The truth Jehovah's judgments are
and righteous altogether.


verse 10 Than gold, than much-r

Than honey sweeter manifold,

verse 11 Thy servant he moreover is
admonished from hence,
In keeping of the same likewise
great is the recompence.


verse 12 Who can his errors throughly know?
from secret faults cleanse me.
And from presumptuous sins also
keep thou thy servant free.

verse 13 O let them never over me
usurp dominion:
Then clear and upright shall I be
from great transgression.

let acceptable be,
Lord in thy sight, my rock who art

PSAL. XX. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.

I' Th' day of sore affliction▪
the Lord to thee attend,
The name of Jacob's mighty God

accepted let it be. Selah.

verse 6 Now know I that Jehovah doth
save his anointed dear:
With saving strength of his right hand,
from's holy heaven he'll hear.


verse 7 In chariots some their confidence,

But of the Lord our God the name

verse 8 So we arise and stand upright,
they are brought down and fall.


verse 9 Save, Lord, and let the King us hear
when unto him we call.

PSAL. XXI. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.

JEhovah in thy strength
the King shall joyful be:

[Page 61]And joy in thy salvation,
how vehemently shall he?


verse 2 Thou granted hast to him
that which his heart desir'd,
And thou hast not with-holden back
that which his lips requir'd Selah.

verse 3 For with blessings of good
thou hast prevented him:
Thou on his head of finest gold
hast set a diadem.


verse 4 Of thee he asked life,
thou didst it freely give,
Ev'n length of daies to him, that he
for evermore should live.

verse 5 In thy Salvation
his glory hath been great:
Thou honour hast and majesty
likewise upon him set.


verse 6 For thou for evermore
hast him for blessings made:
Thou mak'st him with thy countenance
to be exceeding glad.

verse 7 Because that in the Lord
the king doth trust, and he
Through mercy of the highest one
shall not removed be.


verse 8 Thine hand shall find out all
that enemies are to thee:

[Page 62]And thy right-hand shall find out them
of thee that haters be.

verse 9 Thou set'st as fiery ov'n
them in times of thine ire:
The Lord will swallow them in's wrath
and them consume with fire.


verse 10 Thou wilt destroy the fruit
that doth of them proceed
From off the earth, and from amongst
the sons of men their seed.

verse 11 Because against thee they
an evil did intend:
A wicked plot they have devis'd,
but cannot work their end.


verse 12 * For thou shalt turn their back,
whenever thou shalt place
Thine arrows ready on thy strings,
full right against their face.

verse 13 Jehovah in thy strength
on high extolled be:
And we will sing; yea praise with psalms
thy mighty pow'r will we.

PSAL. XXII To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David.

MY God, my God, wherefore hast thou
forsaken me? and why

[Page 63]Art thou so far off from my help,
and from words of my cry?


verse 2 My God, I in the day time cry,
but me thou dost not hear;
Also by night, and unto me
no quiet rest is there.

verse 3 Nevertheless thou holy art,
who constantly dost dwell
Among the thankful praises of
thy people Israel▪


verse 4 Our fathers heretofore in thee
have put their confidence:
They trusted have, and thou to them
didst give deliverance.

verse 5 They unto thee did crie aloud,
and were preserved sound.
In thee they put their confidence,
and nought did them confound.


verse 6 * But I a worm and not a man,
of men a very scorn:
And I among the people am
despised as forlorn.

verse 7 All they that do upon me look,
a scoff at me do make;
They with the lip do make a mow,
the head in scorn they shake.


verse 8 Upon the Lord he roll'd himself,
let him now rid him quite:

[Page 64]Let him deliver him because
in him he doth delight.

verse 9 But thou art he that me out of
the belly didst forth take:
When I was on my mothers breasts,
to hope thou didst me make.


verse 10 I from the tender womb have been
committed unto thee:
Yea from my mothers belly thou
hast been a God to me:

(2)


verse 11 Be not thou far away from me;
for tribulation
Approacheth very near at hand,
and helper there is none


verse 12 Great many bulls on every side
have me encompassed:
The mighty bulls of Bashan have
me round environed:

verse 13 With their wide opened mouths on me
they gaping so appear,
As if that each a ravening
and roaring lion were.


verse 14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones
disjointed are likewise;
Like unto melted wax my heart
amidst my bowels lies.

[Page 65]


verse 15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd,
and my tongue cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
of death brought me thou hast.


verse 16 For dogs have compass'd me about
th' ass
 [...]mbly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through
my hands and 
 [...]ke my feet.

verse 17 My bones I may them number all;
they look'd, they did me view.


verse 18 My cloaths among them they did part;
lo
 [...]s for my coat they threw.


verse 19 But thou Lord, be not far; my strength
haste thou to succour me.


verse 20 My soul from sword, my darling from
the power of dogs set free.

verse 21 Out from the lions mouth also,
oh, saved that I were!
For thou from horns of unicorns
didst me vouchsafe to hear.


verse 22 Thy name I will declare to them
that brethren are to me:
Amidst the congregation I
will praises give to thee.

(3)


verse 23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise;
all Jacob's seed do ye

[Page 66]Him glorifie; and dread him all
ye Israels seed that be.


verse 24 For he th' affliction of the poor
loaths not, nor doth despise:
Nor hides his face from him, but hears
when unto him he crys.

verse 25 Within the congregation great,
my praise is of thee still:
Before them that him reverence
perform my vows I will.


verse 26 The meek shall eat and be suffic'd:
Jehovah praise shall they
That do him seek: your heart shall live
unto perpetual aye.

verse 27 All th' ends of th' earth remember shall
and turn unto the Lord:
And thee all heathen families
to worship shall accord.


verse 28 Because unto Jehovah doth
the kingdom appertain:
Likewise among the nations he
is Ruler Soveraign.

verse 29 Earths fat ones eat, & worship shall
all who to dust descend.
(Who cannot keep alive his soul)
before his face shall bend.


verse 30 With service a posterity
him shall attend upon:

[Page 67]Which to the Lord shall counted be
a generation.

verse 31 Come shall they & his righteousness
by them declar'd shall be
Unto a people yet unborn,
that done this thing hath he.

PSAL. XXIII. A Psalm of David.

THe Lord to me a sh

want therefore shall not I:


verse 2 He in the folds of tender grass
doth make me down to lie▪
He leads me to the waters still.


verse 3 restore my soul doth he:
In paths of righteousnes he will
for his names sake lead me.

verse 4 In valley of deaths shade although
I walk, I'll fear none ill:
For thou with me, thy rod also
thy staff me comfort will.


verse 5 Thou hast 'fore me a Table spread
in presence of my

Thou dost anoint with oyl mine head,
my cup it overfl

verse 6 Goodness and mercy my days all

And in the Lords house dwell I shall
so long as days shall be.

PSAL. XXIV. A Psalm of David.

THe earth Jehovah's is
with all the store of it.
The habitable world is his,
and they thereon that sit.


verse 2 For its foundation
he on the seas hath laid:
And it the water floods upon
most solidly hath staid.

verse 3 Jehovah's hill on high,
who shall ascend into?
Within his place of sanctity,
who shall there stand also?


verse 4 The clean in hands, likewise
the pure in heart, and he
Who hath not lift his soul to lies,
nor sworn deceitfully.

verse 5 The benediction he
shall from the Lord receive,
From God of his salvation he
his righteousness shall have.


verse 6 This is the p

That for thy face inquiring be,
this Jacob is, Selah.

verse 7 Ye gates, lift up your heads,

And valiant Jehovah is,
in battel valiant.

verse 9 Ye gates lift up your heads,
and doors that last for aye,
Do ye lift up, that enter in

who is it that may be?
The Lord of armies in array
the glorious King is he. Selah.

PSAL. XXV. A Psalm of David.

I Lift my soul to thee, O Lord,


verse 2 My God I trust in thee,
Let me not be asham'd, nor let
my foes joy over me.


verse 3 Yea, let not them that wait on thee,
be fi

But let them all ashamed be,
who causlesly transgress.

verse 4 Thy ways, Jehovah to me show,
thy paths make me discern,


verse 5 Make thou me in thy truth to go,
and cause thou me to learn.

[Page 70] 

verse 6 For of my health thou art the God,
on thee I wait all day.
Thy bowels, Lord, and mercies mind,
for they have been for aye.

verse 7 My sins of youth and trespasses,
to mind, oh! do not take:
O mind me in thy tenderness,
Lord, for thy goodness sake.


verse 8 The Lord's good and upright, therefore
he'll sinners teach the way:


verse 9 The meek he will in judgment guide,
and teach the meek his way.

verse 10 Jehovah's paths they mercy are,
and truth all of them too,
To them that keep his covenant,
and testimonies do.


verse 11 For thy names sake Jehovah I
do humbly thee intreat
To pardon mine iniquity,
for it is very great.

(2)

verse 12 Who fears the Lord, him he will teach
the way that he shall chuse:

verse 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed
as heirs the earth shall use.

verse 14 The secret of the Lord's with those
that do him reverence,

[Page 71]And of his cov'nant he to those
will give intelligence.

verse 15 Mine eys continually be
upon Jehovah set;
For it is he that will set free
my feet out of the net.


verse 16 O turn thou unto me thy face,
and on me mercy show;
For I am in a lonely case,
afflicted poor also.

verse 17 My straits of heart enlarged be;
bring me from my distress:

verse 18 My pain and mine affliction see;
and all my sins release.

verse 19 My foes mark, for they many be
and cruelly me hate.

verse 20 My soul keep, free me, nor let me
be sham'd, who on thee wait.

verse 21 Let soundness and integrity
keep me who trust in thee.


verse 22 From all his troubles Israel
O God do thou set free.

PSAL. XXVI. A Psalm of David.

JUdge me, O Lord for walk I do
in mine integrity;
Upon the Lord I trust also,
slide therefore shall not I.

[Page 72] 

verse 2 Search me, O Lord, prove me likewise,
my reins and my heart try?


verse 3 Because thy grace is 'fore mine eyes,
and in thy truth walk I.

verse 4 With persons vain I have not sate
nor with dissemblers gone:


verse 5 Church of malignants I do hate,
and sit the wicked from.


verse 6 In cleanness wash my hands 
I will,
so Lord thy altar round.


verse 7 . With thankful voice that 
I may tell,

in their right hand is rife.

verse 11 Redeem and pity me, for 
I
walk in mine uprightness:
My foot stands right, the Lord will 
I
in Church-assembly bless

PSAL. XXVII. A Psalm of David.

THe Lord my light is, and my health,
what shall make me dismaid?

[Page 73]The Lord is of my life the strength,
who shall make me afraid?


verse 2 When wicked men mine enemi
 [...]
and foes in battel come
Against me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell down.

verse 3 If that an host against me come,
my heart undaunted is:
If war against me should arise,

I am secure in this.


verse 4 One thing I asked of the Lord,
which still I will request,
That I of all my life the daies
may in the Lords house rest.

To view the beauty of the Lord,
and in his temple seek.


verse 5 For in his tent in th' evil day
he will me hidden keep.
He will me hide in secrecy
of his pavillion;
And will me highly lift upon
the rocks munition.

verse 6 Moreover at this time my head
on high shall lifted be
Above mine enemies who do
about encompass me:
Therefore in's tent I'll sacrifice
of joy an offering;

[Page 74]Unto Jehovah sing will I,
yea, I will praises sing.

verse 7 When as 
I with my voice do crie,
me, O Jehovah hear:
Have mercy also upon me,
and unto me give ear.


verse 8 O seek ye for my countenance,
(when as thou saidst to me)
Lord, I will seek thy countenance,
mine heart did answer thee.

verse 9 O hide not thou thy countenance
away from me therefore,
Thy servant put thou not away
in thy displeasure sore.
O God of my salvation,
do not from me depart:
Nor yet forsake me utterlie,
for thou my helper art.

verse 10 My father and my mother both,
though they do me forsake,
Yet will Jehovah gathering
unto himself me take.


verse 11 Jehovah teach thou me the way
and be a guide to me
In righteous paths, because of them
that mine observers be.

verse 12 Give me not up unto the will
of my fierce enemies,

[Page 75]For witness false against me stand,
and breath out cruelties:


verse 13 Which had o'recome me, but that I
believed for to see
Jehovah's goodness in the land
of them that living be.

verse 14 Do thou upon Jehovah wait,
thy self there strengthning stay;
And so thy heart he strengthen shall:
wait on the Lord I say.

PSAL. XXVIII. A Psalm of David.

JEhovah unto thee I cry,
My rock be thou not deaf from me:
Lest thou be dumb from me, and I
Like them to pit that go should be.


verse 2 The voice of my request hear thou
For grace when unto thee I cry;
When I lift up my hands unto
Thine Oracle of Sanctitie.

verse 3 With ill men draw me not away,
With workers of unrighteousness:
That peace unto their neighbours say,
But in their hearts is wickedness.


verse 4 Give thou to them like to their work▪
And like the evil of their deeds;
Give them like to their handy-work
And render unto them their meeds.

[Page 76]


verse 5 Because unto Jehovahs works
They did not wise attention yield,
Neither unto his handy-work,
He will them waste, and not up-build.


verse 6 The Lord be blest, for heard hath he
The voice of my request for grace:
The Lord's my strength, & shield to me,
My heart staid on him, help'd 
I was.

verse 7 Therefore my heart will gladness show,
And with my song I'll him confess:
Jehovah his anointed to
Their strength and tower of safetie is·


verse 8 Salvation on thy fo
 [...]k bestow,
And bless thou thine Inheritance,
Unto eternity also
Do thou them feed, and them advance.

This in any common Tunes.
Save Lord thy people, bless also
thou thine Inheritance,
And ev'n eternitie unto
them feed, and them advance.

PSAL XXIX. A Psalm of David.

O Ye the sons of mighty ones,
Jehovah give unto:
Unto Jehovah glory give,
and potencie also.

[Page 77] 

verse 2 Unto the Lord do ye ascribe
his glorious names renown:
In beautie of his holiness
bow to Jehovah down.

verse 3 The Lord's voice on the waters is:
the God of glorie great
Doth thunder forth, Jehovah is
on many waters set.


verse 4 Jehovahs voice is full of power,
the Lord's voice glorious.


verse 5 The Lords voice cedars breaks, the Lord
breaks those in Libanus.

verse 6 He makes them like a calf to skip,
the mountain Lebanon:
And like a youthful unicorn,
the hill of Syrion.


verse 7 * Jehovahs voice strikes flames of fire,
Jehovah's voice doth make


verse 8 The desart shake: Jehovah makes
the Kadesh desart shake.

verse 9 The Lords voice makes the hinds to calve,
and makes the forrest bare.
But his whole glorie he within
his temple doth declare.


verse 10 Jehovah on the deluge sate,
the Lord sits ever King,


verse 11 The Lord to's folk gives strength, the Lord
them blessed peace will bring.

PSAL. XXX. A Psalm; a Song of the dedication of the house of David.

LORD, I will thee extol on high,
for thou hast made me rise:
And joyful hast not made to be
o're me mine enemies.


verse 2 I Lord my God to thee cry'd have,
and thou hast made me whole.


verse 3 Jehovah thou out of the grave
hath raised up my soul:

From pits descent thou quicknedst me.


verse 4 O sing unto the Lord,
And ye his saints give thanks when ye
his holiness record.


verse 5 For's wrath doth but a while abide,
life in his love doth stay:
If weeping lodge an ev'ning tide,
yet joy at break of day.

verse 6 For in my prosp'rous state 
I said,
now shall 
I never slide.


verse 7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made
my mountain fast abide.


verse 8 Thou hid'st thy face, 
I troubled was,
Lord, 
I to thee did cry;
Also my humble suit for grace
unto the Lord made 
I.

[Page 79]


verse 9 What profit in my blood can be,
when I to pit go down?
Shall dust give glory unto thee?
shall it thy truth make known?


verse 10 Do thou me, O Jehovah hear,
and on me mercy have:
To me, Jehovah be thou near,
an helper me to save.

verse 11 My mourning then a dance into
for me thou turned hast:

 [...] 
 [...]oy thou didst me gird also,
and off my sackcloth cast.


verse 12 So shall my glory sing thy praise,
and never silent be;
Jehovah, O my God alwayes

I will give thanks to thee.

PSAL. XXXI. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.

IN thee, O Lord, 
I put my trust,
let me be shamed never:
Accordingly as thou art just,
O do thou me deliver.


verse 2 Bow down to me thine ear with speed
let me deliverance have,
My rock of strength, & house of fence
O be thou me to save.

verse 3 Because a rock thou me unto
and fortress mine wilt be:

[Page 80]Therefore for thy Names sake, O do
thou lead and guide thou me.


verse 4 O pull thou me out of the net,
which to ensnare me they
Full privily for me have set:
because thou art my stay.

verse 5 Into thy hands my spirit I
reposing do commit:
Jehovah God of veritie,
thou hast redeemed it.


verse 6 Who lying vanities embrace
such men have I abhorr'd;
But as for me, 
I wholly place
my trust upon the Lord.

verse 7 I in thy mercies will be glad,
and joy, because that thou
Didst view my straits, in anguish sad
my soul thou diddest know.


verse 8 And thou hast not enclosed me
within the enemies hand:
But in the place of libertie
thou mad'st my feet to stand.

(2)


verse 9 O Lord, because distress'd am I
in mercie send relief;
My soul, my belly, and mine eie
consumed are with grief.

[Page 81] 

verse 10 Because my life with sorrow quails,
with sighs my years decay:
And for my sins my vigour fails,
my bones do pine away.

verse 11 To all my foes a scorn am 
I,
chiefly my neighbours to:
A fear to friends, they that me spie
without, did flee me fro.


verse 12 I as a dead man am forgot,
that's out of memory:
And like unto a broken pot,
ev'n such an one am I.

verse 13 Because that I of all the rout
the slandering did hear:
On every side me round about
there was a trembling fear.
While as that they against me did
together counsel take,
They craftily have purpos
 [...]d
my life away to make.

verse 14 But O Jehovah upon thee
my confidence doth stand:
I said thou art a God to me.


verse 15 My tim
 [...]s are in the hand:
From the hands of mine enemies
do thou deliver me,
And from the hand of them likewise
that my pursuers be.

[Page 82]
(3)


verse 16 Thy countenance to shine upon
thy servant do thou make:
O give to me salvation,
ev'n for thy mercies sake.


verse 17 O Lord, let me not be asham'd
for call'd on thee I have:
Oh let the wicked men be sham'd,
and silent in the grave.

verse 18 Let lying lips be silenced:
'gainst him that is upright
That do such grievous speeches spread
in pride and in despite.


verse 19 Oh how great good hast thou in store
laid up, and wrought for them,
Who fear and trust in thee before
the sons of earthly men!

verse 20 Thou in the secret of thy face,
shall hide them from mans pride;
From strife of tongues in covert place
thou shalt them safely hide.


verse 21 O let Jehovah bless
 [...]d be,
because he hath made known
His kindness wonderfull to me,
within a fenced town.

verse 22 For I in haste said, I am cast
out from before thine eye:

[Page 83]My suit for grace yet heard thou hast,
when I to thee did crie.


verse 23 O love the Lord all ye his saints,
the faithful he doth guard:
But he unto proud doers grants
a plentiful reward.

verse 24 See that encouraged you be,
and let your heart wax strong:
All whosoever hopefullie
do for Jehovah long.

PSAL. XXXII. A Psalm of David, Maschil.

OH blessed is the man to whom
trespass is pardoned,
And he to whom transgression
is wholly covered.


verse 2 O blessed is the man to whom
the Lord imputes not sin;
And he who such a spirit hath
that guile is not therein.

verse 3 My bones whilst I did silence keep,
with age did wear away,
By reason of my roaring cry
continuing all the day.


verse 4 For heavily thy hand did lie
upon me day and night;
That into summers scorching drought
my moisture turned quite. Selah.

[Page 84]


verse 5 My sinful trespass unto thee
I have acknowledged,
And my perverse iniquitie
I have not covered:
Against my self my sins said I,
I'll to the Lord confess;
And then of mine iniquitie
thou didst the sin release. Selah.

verse 6 For this each godly one to thee
in finding-time shall pray;
Surely in floods of waters great,
come nigh him shall not they.


verse 7 Thou art my hiding place, thou shalt
from trouble set me free;
Thou with songs of deliverance
shall round encompass me. Selah.

verse 8 To thee I will instruction give,
teach thee likewise will I
The way wherein thou shouldest go:
I'll guide thee with mine eye.


verse 9 Be ye not like the horse and mule
which do not understand,
Whose mouths with bridle bit we rule
to bring them to command.

verse 10 To every one that wicked is
their sorrows do abound:
But him that on the Lord relies,
shall mercie compass round.

[Page 85] 

verse 11 Be joyful in Jehovah ye,
ye righteous ones rejoyce:
And all in heart that upright be,
shout forth with chearful voice.

PSAL. XXXIII.

YE just in God rejoyce,
praise well th' upright doth suit.

verse 2 Praise God with harp, with psaltry sing
to him on ten-string'd lute.

verse 3 A new song sing to him,
aloud play skilfullie;

verse 4 Because Jehovah's word is right,
his works all veritie.

verse 5 He loveth righteousness,
and also equitie:
The earth is fully f
 [...]rnish'd with
the Lords benignitie.


verse 6 For by Jehovah's word
the heavens had their frame;
And by the spirit of his mouth,
all th' armies of the same.

verse 7 The waters of the sea
he gathers as an heap:
Together as in store-houses
he layeth up the deep.


verse 8 All men throughout the earth,
let them Jehovah fear,

[Page 86]Let all the dwellers of the world
unto him reverence bear.

verse 9 Because he did but speak
the word, and it was made;
He did give ou
 [...] commandement,
and it was firmly staid.


verse 10 The Lord doth bring to nought
the heathens counsel wise;
He makes to be of no effect
what people do devise.

verse 11 The counsel of the Lord
abide for ever shall;
The cogitations of his heart
to generations all.

(2)


verse 12 O blessed nation
whose God Jehovah is;
And people whom for heritage
he chosen hath for his.


verse 13 The Lord from heaven looks,
all sons of men views well.


verse 14 Look from his dwelling place doth h
to all on earth that dwell.

verse 15 The hearts of every one
alike he doth them frame,
And all their operations
he well doth mind the same.

[Page 87] 

verse 16 By multitude of hosts
no king himself doth save:
Nor yet by multitude of strength
they strong deliverance have.

verse 17 A horse a vain thing is
to be a saviour;
Nor shall he work deliverance
by greatness of his power.


verse 18 On them that do him fear,
lo is Jehovah's eye:
Upon them that do place their hope
on his benignity.

verse 19 To save alive in dearth,
their soul from death to free.


verse 20 Our soul doth for Jehovah wait,
our help and shield is he.


verse 21 For our heart joyes in him,
in's holy name trust we:
Thy mercy Lord, let be on us
like as we trust in thee.

PSAL XXXIV. A Psa [...]m of David when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drave him away, and he departed.

I Will the Lord in seasons all
bless in humility,
And in my mouth his praises shall
abide continually.

[Page 88] 

verse 2 My soul shall in Jehovah make
with joy her boasting chear;
The humble shall great pleasure take
when they hereof shall hear.

verse 3 With me together O do ye
Jehovah magnifie;
And let us all herein agree
to lift his name on high.


verse 4 When I Jehovah sought unto,
then he to me gave ear:
He me delivered also
from all that was my fear.

verse 5 They look'd to him & lightned were,
no shame did them appall.


verse 6 This poor man cri'd, the Lord did hear,
and sav'd from troubles all


verse 7 The Lord his Angel every where
incampeth round about
Each one of them that do him fear,
from ill to free them out.

verse 8 How bountiful Jehovah is,
O taste and see likewise;
O great is that mans blessedness
whose trust on him relies!


verse 9 Oh see that ye Jehovah fear,
his holie ones that be!
Because that such as do him fear,
no want at all shall see.

[Page 89]

verse 10 Young Lions they are brought to want

and suffe [...] lack of food:

But they that fear the Lord, no want

shall have of any good.

(2)


verse 11 O come ye children unto me,
give you attentive ear;
And I will you instruct how ye
the Lord aright shall fear.


verse 12 Who is the man whose heart is bent
that long his life may be,
Who loveth days, and hath intent
prosperity to see?

verse 13 Thy tongue from ill, thy lips also
from speaking guile keep thou.


verse 14 Depart from evil and do good,
seek peace and it pursue.


verse 15 Upon the men that righteous are,
the Lord doth set his eie;
And likewise he doth bow his ear
when unto him they crie.

verse 16 Jehovah's face is set against
them that do wickedly,
That he of them from off the land
may cut the memory.


verse 17 When as the righteous men do cry,
the Lord doth hear their call;

[Page 90]And gives to them delivery
out of their troubles all.

verse 18 Jehovah near is such unto
as broken-hearted be;
Whose spirit contrite is also,
ev'n such ones save will he.


verse 19 The just mans griefs are many a one,
from all God sets him free:


verse 20 He keepeth all his bones, that none
of them shall broken be.

verse 21 Evil shall slay the wicked man,
and whosoever hate
The righteous man, ev'n all of them
shall sure be desolate.


verse 22 Their souls that do Jehovah serve,
he freely doth redeem:
Nor utterly shall any swerve,
that put their trust in him.

PSAL XXXV. A Psalm of David.

PLead Lord with them that with me plead,
Against them fight that fight with me.


verse 2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold,
Stand up my helper for to be.


verse 3 Draw out the spear and stop the way
'Gainst them that my pursuers be;
And to my soul oh do thou say,
I am salvation unto thee.

[Page 91]


verse 4 Let them confounded be and sham'd
That seek my soul how they may spill:
Let them be turned back and sham'd
That in their thoughts devise mine ill.


verse 5 As chaff before the wind be they,
God's angel let them drive also.


verse 6 Let dark and slippery be their way,
God's angel drive them to and fro

verse 7 For causelesly within a pit
They hidden have for me a net:
They causelesly have digged it,
That they therein my soul may get▪


verse 8 Let seiz upon him unaware
Destruction; let his net withal
That he hath hid, himself insnare,
Into that ruine let him fall.

verse 9 My soul shall in the Lord rejoyce,
In his salvation joyful be.


verse 10 My bones shall say as with one voice,
Jehovah, who is like to thee
Who sett'st the poor afflicted free
From him that is for him too strong;
Yea, such as poor and needy be,
From him that spoileth him with wrong?

(2)


verse 11 False witnesses did up arise,
What I knew not they charg'd on me,

[Page 92] 

verse 12 They pay me ill for good likewise.
Whereby my soul might spoiled be.


verse 13 But as for me, when sick they were,
My cloathing then of Sackcloath was:
My Soul 
I bow'd with fasts, my prayer
Did back into my bosome pass.

verse 14 As he my friend or brother were
So my behaviour I have kept:
I bowed down with heavie chear
As one that for his mother wept.


verse 15 But they were glad my wo to see
And they together gathered were:
Yea, th' abj
 [...]cts 'gainst me gathered be,
And restless me unwitting tear.

* 16 They mocking parasites among,
In feasts do gnash their teeth at me.


verse 17 O Lord how long wilt thou look on?
My soul from their destruction free:
My darling free from lions set.


verse 18 So will I give thee thanks always
Within the congregation great:
Amongst much people I'll thee praise.

(3)


verse 19 O let them not rejoice o're me,
That are my wrongful enemies:
And they that hate me causlesly,
Let them not twinkle with their eyes.

[Page 93] 

verse 20 Because they do not speak for peace,
But in their thoughts they do invent
Against them plots of guilefulness,
That in the land for peace are bent.

verse 21 Their mouth 'gainst me hath op'ned been
And said, ah, ah, our eie it saw,

verse 22 Lord be not silent, thou hast seen;
Lord, do not far from me withdraw.

verse 23 Arise and to my judgment wake▪
My God and Lord unto my plea.

verse 24 Lord judge me for thy justice sake,
My God lest o're me joy should they.

verse 25 Let them not say their hearts within,
Aha, our souls desire have we:
Now have we quite up swallowed him,
Oh let them never say of me.


verse 26 Sham'd let them & confounded be
At once, who at my hurt are glad;
Let such as boast themselves 'gainst me,
With shame and with disgrace be clad.

verse 27 Let them be glad and shout for joy,
That favour do my righteous c
 [...]use:
Yea let them say continually,
Extolled be the Lord with praise,
Who in his servan
 [...]s sa
 [...]ing well
Doth his delightful pleasure take.


verse 28 So shall my tongue thy justice tell:
And of thy praise all day shall speak.

[Page 94]

PSAL. XXXVI. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.

THe trespass of the wicked one
saith in assured wise,
Within my heart, the fear of God
is not before his eyes.


verse 2 Because that he in his own eyes
himself is flattering,
Until that his iniquity
be found an hateful thing.

verse 3 The words are vanity and guile
which from his mouth proceed:
He hath left off for to be wise,
and do the godly deed.


verse 4 He, when he lyeth on his bed,
doth mischief meditate:
He sets himself in no good way,
he doth not evil hate.

(2)


verse 5 Thy mercy, O Jehovah is
within the heavens high:
Thy faithfulness doth reach likewise
unto the cloudy sky.


verse 6 Like mountains great thy righteousness;
thy judgments like unto
The mighty deep; thou sav'st, O Lord,
both man and beast also.

[Page 95]


verse 7 O God, thy loving kindness is
of wondrous excellence:
Therefore in shadow of thy wings
mens sons put confidence.


verse 8 They of the fatness of thy house
unto the full shall take;
And of the stream of thy delights
to drink thou shalt them make.

verse 9 For with thee is the spring of life,
light in thy light we see:
O stretch thy loving kindness forth
to such as knowledge thee.


verse 10 To them that upright are in heart
'stretch out thy gracious love.


verse 11 Let no proud foot against me come,
nor wicked hand me move.

verse 12 There are they fallen all of them
that work iniquities:
They are cast down, and never shall
be able to arise.

PSAL. XXXVII. A Psalm of David.

FRet not thy self because of them
that evil workers be;
Nor envious be against the men
that work iniquitie.


verse 2 For ev'n like unto the grass,
cut quickly down are they;

[Page 96]And like unto the tender herb,
they wither shall away.

verse 3 Upon Jehovah put thy trust,
and be thou doing good:
So shalt thou dwell within the land,
and faith shall be thy food.


verse 4 See that thou set thy hearts delight
also upon the Lord:
And then the wishes of thine heart
to thee he will afford.

verse 5 Rowl on the Lord thy way: trust him,
and he'l it bring to pass.


verse 6 As light thy justice he'l bring forth,
thy judgment as noon-days


verse 7 
 [...] in Jehovah, and for him
with pa
 [...]ience do thou stay:
Fret not thy self because of him
who prospers in his way:

Nor at the man who brings to pass
the crafts he doth devise.


verse 8 Cease ire and wra
 [...]h, leave to do ill
thy self fret in no wise.


verse 9 For evil doers shall be made
by cutting down to fall:
But those that wai
 [...] upon the Lord,
the land inherit shall.

[Page 97]
(2)


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


verse 11 But humble men th' inheritance
shall of the earth possess;
Also they shall themselves delight
in multitude of peace.

verse 12 The wicked plots against the just,
gnashing at him his teeth.


verse 13 The Lord shall laugh at him because
his day at hand he seeth.


verse 14 The wicked have drawn out their sword,
& bent their bow have they
To cast the poor and needy down,
to kill th' upright in way.

verse 15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
their bows shall broken be,

verse 16 The just mans little better is,
than wicked's treasury.

verse 17 For th' arms of wicked shall be broke,
the Lord the just doth stay:

verse 18 The Lord doth know-upright mens days,
and their lot is for ay.

verse 19 They never shall ashamed be
in any time of ill;

[Page 98]And when the days of famine come,
then shall they have their fill.


verse 20 But wicked men Jehovah's foes,
as lambs fat shall decay:
They shall consume, yea, into smoak
they shall consume away.

(3)


verse 21 The man ungodly borrow doth,
and never doth repay:
Whereas the just man mercie shows,
and freely gives away.


verse 22 For such as of him blessed be,
the earth inherit shall:
And they that of him cursed are,
by cutting down shall fall.

verse 23 The footsteps of a godly man
are ordered aright,
Ev'n by the Lord, and also he
doth in his way delight.


verse 24 Although he fall, yet shall he not
be utterly down cast,
Because Jehovah with his hand
doth yet uphold him fast.

verse 25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet have 
I never seen
The just man left, so that his seed
for br
 [...]ad have beggars been.

[Page 99] 

verse 26 But every day he's merciful,
and lends: his seed is blest.


verse 27 Depart from evil, and do good,
and ever dwell at rest.

verse 28 Because the Lord doth judgment love,
his saints forsakes not he:
Kept ever are they; but cut off
the sinners seed shall be.


verse 29 The just inherit shall the land,
and therein ever dwell.


verse 30 The just mans mouth doth wisdom speak,
his tongue doth judgment tell.

verse 31 The Law of his God is in's heart,
none of his steps shall stray.


verse 32 The wicked watcheth for the just,
and seeketh him to slay.


verse 33 Jehovah will not such an one
leave up into his hand;
Nor any such will he condemn
when judged he doth stand.

(4)


verse 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
and he shall thee exalt,
Th' earth to inherit; when cut off
the wicked see thou shalt.


verse 35 The wi
 [...]ked man I have beheld
in migh
 [...]y power to be;

[Page 100]And spreading so himself abroad,
like as a green bay tree.

verse 36 Nevertheless he past away,
and lo then was not he:
Moreover I did seek for him,
but found he could not be.


verse 37 Take notice of the perfect man,
and th' upright one attend;
Because that unto such a man
peace is the latter end.

verse 38 But such men as transgressors be
together perish shall:
The latter end shall be cut off
of men ungodly all.


verse 39 But the salvation of the just
doth of Jehovah come.
He is their strength to them in times
that are most troublesome.

verse 40 Yea help & free them will the Lord,
he shall deliver them
From wicked men, b
 [...]cause that they
do put their trust in him.

PSAL. XXXVIII. A Psa [...]m of David, to bring to Remembrance.

IN wrath, Lord, do not me chastise,
And in thy rage correct not me

[Page 101] 

verse 2 For sore thine hand upon me lies
In me thine arrows fastned be


verse 3 There is no soundness in my flesh,
Because thy wrath on me doth lie:
Nor in my bones is any rest,
Because of mine iniquitie.

verse 4 Because that mine iniquities
Above my head ascended are;
Like as an heavie burden lies,
Too heavie they for me to bear.


verse 5 My wounds stink, & corrupt are grown
My foolishness doth make it so.


verse 6 I troubled am, and much bow'd down,
I all day long a mourning go.

verse 7 Fill'd are my loins with loathsome soar,
And there's no soundness in my flesh.


verse 8 Weak am 
I, and sore broke, I roar,
By reason of my hearts distress.


verse 9 With thee, Lord, is all my desire,
My groaning is not hid from thee.


verse 10 My heart doth pant, my strength doth tire,
And mine eyes sight is gone from me

verse 11 My sore my lovers stand there fro,
My friends stand off, my kinsmen eke,


verse 12 Who seek my life lay snares also,
Who seek mine hurt, they mischief speak,
And all day long imagine guile.


verse 13 But as one deaf, 
I did not hear.

[Page 102]I as a dumb man was the while,
Whose mouth at all not open were.

verse 14 As one that heareth not was I,
And in whose mouth reproofs none were.


verse 15 For I, O Lord on thee relie,
O Lord my God thou wilt me hear.


verse 16 O hear thou me, because, said I,
Else they will joy o're me with pride:
Themselves 'gainst me they magnifie,
When as my foot doth slip aside.

verse 17 For I to halt am ready still,
Also my grief abides with me.


verse 18 For I declare my trespass will,
And for my sin will sorry be.


verse 19 Yet nevertheless mine enemies
They lively are, and strong also,
Who c
 [...]uslesly me ha
 [...]e likewise,
In number migh
 [...]ily do grow.

verse 20 Moreover they that for my good,
Do render evil unto me:
Because that I do follow good,
To me they adversaries be.


verse 21 J
 [...]hovah do not me forsake,
From me O do not far depart.


verse 22 My God, haste to my rescue make,
O Lord, who my salvation art.

[Page 103]

PSAL. XXXIX. To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

I Said I will look to my ways,
lest I sin with my tongue:
I'll keep my mouth with bit while I
the wicked am among.


verse 2 With silence I as dumb abode,
my mouth I did refrain
From speaking of the thing that's good,
and stirred was my pain.

verse 3 My heart within me waxed hot,
whiles 
I was musing long,
In me the fire inkindled was,
then spake I with my tongue.


verse 4 O Lord, mine end, and of my days
let me the measure learn:
That what a momentany thing
I am, I may discern.

verse 5 Behold thou mad'st my days a span,
mine age is nought to thee:
At's best estate, sure every man
is wholly vanity.


verse 6 Sure man walks in an empty show,
vain stir they therefore make,
Who heap up wealth, but do not know
who shall the same up take.

[Page 104]
(2)


verse 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?
my hope is set on thee.


verse 8 Free me fr
 [...]m all my trespasses,
the fools scorn make not me.


verse 9 I silent was and shut my mouth,
this done because thou hast.


verse 10 R
 [...]move thy stroke away from me,
by thy hands blow I waste.

verse 11 When with rebukes thou do
 [...] correct
man for iniquitie,
Thou blasts his beauty like a moth,
sure each man's vanitie.


verse 12 Lord hear my prayer, hark to my cry
nor at my tears still be:
For as my fathers all am I,
strange sojourner with thee.

verse 13 O turn aside a while me fro,
that I may strength recal,
Before that 
I from hence shall go,
and be no more at all.

PSAL. XL. A Psalm of David.

WIth expectation for the Lord,
I waited patiently;
And he inclined unto me,
he also heard my cry.


verse 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit,
out of the miry clay;

[Page 105]And on a rock he set my feet,
he stablished my way.

verse 3 A new song put he in my mouth,
our Gods praise to record;
Which many shall behold and fear,
and trust upon the Lord


verse 4 Blest is the man that on the Lord
doth make his trust abide;
Nor doth the proud respect, nor such

 [...] turn aside.

(2)


verse 5 O thou Jehovah, thou my God,
hast many a wonder wrought;
And likewise towards us thou hast
conceived many a thought.
Their sum cannot be reckon'd up
in order unto thee;
Would 
I declare and speak of them,
beyond account they be.

verse 6 Thou sacrifice and offering
didst not at all d
 [...]sire,
Thou boar'st mine ear, no sin-off
 [...]ring,
nor burnt one dost require.


verse 7 Then said 
I, lo I come: it's writ
i' 
 [...]h' books roll thus of me,


verse 8 To do thy will my God I joy,
thy laws in my heart be.

[Page 106]


verse 9 Within the Congregation great,
thy righteousness I shew;
Lo I have not refrain'd my lips,
Jehovah thou dost know.


verse 10 I have not hid thy righteousness
within my heart alone;
I have declar'd thy faithfulness
and thy salvation.

I have not from th
 [...] assembly great
thy grace and truth concea
 [...]'d.


verse 11 Let n
 [...]t thy tender mercies be
from me O Lord with-held:
Let both thy kindness and thy truth
keep me my life throughout,


verse 12 Because innumerable ills
have compass'd me about.

My sins have caught me, so that I
no
 [...] able am to see:
More are 
 [...]h
 [...]y than hairs of mine head,
therefore my heart f
 [...]ils me.

(3)

verse 13 Be pleas'd, Lord, to deliver me;
to help me, Lord, make haste.

verse 14 At once abash'd and sham'd let be,
who seek my soul to waste.

verse 15 Let them be driven back and sham'd
that with me misery:

[Page 107]Let them be waste to quit their shame,
that say to me, fy, fy.

verse 16 Let all be glad and joy in thee
that seek thee, let them say,
Who thy salvation love, the Lord
be magnifi'd alway.


verse 17 I poor and needy am, on me
the Lord yet care doth take:
My help and my deliverer thou,
my God no 
 [...]arrying make.

PSAL. XLI. To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David.

O Bless'd is he that wisely doth
unto the poor attend:
The Lord will him deliverance
in time of trouble send.


verse 2 The Lord will keep & make him live
on earth he blest shall be;
And give him not unto the will
of his sore enemie.

verse 3 Upon the bed of languishing
the Lord will strengthen him:
Thou also wilt make all his bed
within his sickness time.


verse 4 I said, Jehovah unto me
thy tender grace I crave:
Heal thou my soul, because that I
against thee sinned have.

[Page 108]


verse 5 Those men that be mine enemies,
with evil me de
 [...]ame;
When will the time come he shall die,
and perish shall his name?


verse 6 And if he come to visit me,
he speaks vain lies in heart:
He heapeth evils, then he goes
abroad them to impart.

(2)


verse 7 All that me hate against me they
together whisper still:
Against me they imagine do
to me malicious ill.


verse 8 Thus do they say, Some ill disease
unto him cleaveth sore:
And seeing now he lieth down,
he shall rise up no more.

verse 9 Moreover my familiar friend,
on whom my trust I set,
His heel against me lifted up
who of my bread did eat.


verse 10 But Lord, me pity and me raise,
that I may them requite.


verse 11 By this I know assuredly,
in me thou dost delight.

For o're me triumps not my foe,


verse 12 And me, thou dost me stay

[Page 109]In mine integrity, and sett'st
me thee before for aye.


verse 13 Blest hath Jehovah Israels God
from everlasting been,
And unto everlasting is,
Amen, yea, and amen.

PSAL. XLII. To the chief Musician Maschil for the So [...] of Ko [...]ah.

LIke as the panting hart doth bray
after the water-brooks;
Ev'n in such wise, O God my soul
after thee panting looks.


verse 2 For God even for the living God
my soul it thirsteth sore;
Oh when shall I come and appear
the face of God before?

verse 3 My tears have been unto me meat
by night and eke by day:
While all day long they unto me,
where is thy God? do say.


verse 4 When as unto my memory
these thing recall I do,
Then I pour out my soul in me,
for I with troops did go.

With them unto Gods house I went
with voice of joy and praise:

[Page 110]I with a multitude did go,
that did keep holy days.


verse 5 My soul, why art cast down, and why
stirr'd in me? thy hope place
In God, for praise him yet shall 
I
for health is in his face.

(2)


verse 6 My God, my soul in me
 [...]s cast down;
therefore thee mind I will
From Jordans land, and H
 [...]rmonites,
and from the little hill.


verse 7 At sounding of thy water spouts,
deep unto deep doth call:
The waves pass over me likewise
thy breaking billows all.

verse 8 His loving kindness yet the Lord
command will in the day:
And in the night his song's with me,
to God, my lif
 [...], I'll pray▪


verse 9 I'll say to God my rock, O why
hast thou forgotten me?
For pressure of the enemy,
why should I mourning be?

verse 10 As with a sword within my bones,
mine enemies me upbraid:
While all the day, where is thy God?
they unto me have said.

[Page 111] 

verse 11 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow
thy self down heavily?
And wherefore in me makest thou
a stir tumultuously?

Hope thou in God, because I shall
with praise him yet advance;
Who is my God, he also is
health of my countenance.

PSAL. XLIII.

JUdge me, O God, and plead my cause
from nation merciless;
Both from the man or guile and wrong,
O s

verse 2 For of my strength thou art the God,
why casts thou me thee fro?
Why go I mourning for the sore
oppression of the foe?

verse 3 O send thou forth thy light and truth,
let them lead and bring me
Unto thy holy hill, and where
thy tab
 [...]rnacles be.


verse 4 Then will I to Gods Altar go,
to God my chearful joy:
Yea,

I will my harp employ.

verse 5 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow
thy self down heavily?

[Page 112]And wherefore in me makest thou
a stir tumultuousl

verse 6 Hope thou in God, because I shall
with praise him yet advance;
Who is my God, he also is
health of my countenance.

PSAL. XLIV. To the chief Musician, for the Sons of Korah, Maschil.

WE with our ears have heard, O God
our fathers have us told,
What works thou wroughtest in their days
ev'n in the times of old.


verse 2 How thy hand drave the heathen out,
and planted them thou hast;
How thou the people didst afflict,
and out thou didst them cast.

verse 3 For by their sword they did not get
the lands p
 [...]ss
 [...]ssion:
Nor was it their own a
 [...]m that did
work their salvation!
But thy right hand, thine arm also,
thy countenances 
 [...]ight;
Because that of thine own good will
thou did'st in them d
 [...]light.

verse 4 Thou art my King, O mighty God,
thou dost the same endure:

[Page 113]For Jacob by commandement
deliverances procure.


verse 5 Through thee as with an horn we will
push down our enemies,
We through thy name will tread them down
that up against us rise.

verse 6 Because it is not in my bow
that I affiance have:
Nor is it any sword of mine,
that shall at all me save.


verse 7 But thou hast from our foes us sav'd,
and haters put to shame:


verse 8 In God we all day long do boast,
and praise for ay thy name.

(2)


verse 9 But now thou hast forsaken us,
and shame upon us cast:
Nor with our military troops,
gone forth to battel hast.


verse 10 Back from before the enemy,
thou mak'st us to recoyl:
They also that our haters be,
do for themselves us spoil.

verse 11 Thou hast us given, like as sheep,
to slaughter that belong:
Thou hast us also scattered
the heathen folk among▪

[Page 114] 

verse 12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
for that which is no gain:
And by their prices no encrease
of riches dost obtain.

verse 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach
ev'n us thou dost expose:
A scorn we are, and mocking stock
to them that us enclose.


verse 14 Among the heathen people thou
a by
 [...]word dost us make:
Also among the nations,
at us their heads they shake.

verse 15 Before mine eyes continually
abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with confounded shame
o're covered is my face.


verse 16 By reason of the scorn
 [...]rs voice,
who doth with scoffs despight;
By reason of the enemy,
and self-revenging wight.

(3)


verse 17 Though all of this be come on us,
we have not thee forgot:
Likewise against thy covenant
dealt falsely have we not.


verse 18 Our heart's not turned back, nor have
our steps from thy way straid.

[Page 115] 

verse 19 Though us thou break'st in dragons place
and hid'st us in deaths shade.

verse 20 Had we forgot Gods name, or to
a strange god stretch'd our hands:

verse 21 Shall not God search it out? for he
hearts secrets understands.

verse 22 Yea, we for thee are all day kill'd,
counted as sheep to slay:

verse 23 Awake, why sleep'st thou Lord? arise,
cast us not off for aye.

verse 24 Thy countenance away from us
O wherefore dost thou hide?
Why dost thou mindless of our grief,
and sore distress abide?


verse 25 For down to dust our soul is bow'd,
to th' earth our bellies cleave:


verse 26 O thou that art our help, arise,
in mercie us relieve.

PSAL. XLV. To the chief Musician upon Shushannim for the sons of Korah, Maschil, a song of loves.

MY heart good matter boyleth forth,

And thy right hand shall lead thee forth
in works of dreadfulness.

verse 5 * Thine arrows sharp: the people they

Yea, in the heart (they shall fall down)

Kings daughters present stand;

verse 10 O daughter, hearken and behold,
do thou incline thine ear:
See thine own people thou forget,
and fathers house most dear.


verse 11 So in thy beauty to delight
the King he shall accord:
And bowing down, him worship thou,
because he is thy Lord.

verse 12 Then shall be present with a gift
the daughter there of Tyre:
The rich amongst the people they
thy favour shall desire.


verse 13 The daughter of the King she is

And with imbroideries of gold
her garments wrought have been.

verse 14 She is led in unto the King
in robes with needle wrought:
Her fellow virgins following her

So to the palace of the King

Therefore for ever and for ay

The fearful desolations,
which on the earth he brought.


verse 9 Unto the utmost ends of th' earth,
wars into peace he turns;
The spear he cuts, the bow he breaks,
in fire the chariot burns.

verse 10 Be still and know that I am God;
exalted be will I
Among the heathen, through the earth
I'll be exalted high.

The city of the mighty King

verse 3 God in her palaces is known
to be a refuge high:

verse 4 For lo, the kings assembled were,
they past together by.

verse 5 They saw, and so they marvelled,
they greatly troubled were.
They also hasted fast away,

verse 6 Fear fell upon them there,

As on a woman travelling,
they such a pain did find.

and triumph let them make:
They that of Judah daughters are,

verse 12 About the hill of Sion walk,
and go about her ye;
And do ye reckon up thereof

verse 13 Do ye full well her bulwarks mark,
her palaces view well:
That to the generation

And he will be a guide to us,

PSAL. XLIX. To the chief Musician, a Psalm for the son [...] of Korah.

HEar this all people and give ear
all in the world that dwell.


verse 2 Sons both of low and higher men,
the rich the poor as well.


verse 3 I with my mouth variety
of wisdom will impart:

[Page 123]Of understanding much shall be
the musing of my heart.

verse 4 Unto a speech proverbial
I will incline mine ear:
I will upon the harp withal
my doctrine dark declare.


verse 5 Why should I be at all afraid
in days that evil be?
When that my heels iniquity
about shall compass me.

verse 6 Those men that make their great estates
their stay to trust unto;
Who in the plenty of their wealth
themselves do boast also.


verse 7 There's not a man of them that can
by any means redeem
His brother, nor to God can give
a ransom meet for him.

verse 8 So dear their souls redemption is,
and ever ceaseth it.


verse 9 That he should still for ever live,
and never see the pit.


verse 10 For he doth see that wise men die,
the fool and bruitish too
Do perish, and their rich estate
to others leave they do.

[Page 124]


verse 11 They think their houses are for aye,
to generations all
Their dwelling places; and their lands
they by their names do call


verse 12 But man in honour being set
abideth not a night:
But he becometh like unto
the beasts that perish quite.

verse 13 This way of theirs their folly is;
yet their posterity
Delighting in that which they s

verse 14 Like sheep so are they laid in grave,
death shall them feed upon▪
And th' upright over them 
 [...] morn

And from the place whereas they dwell▪
the beauty which they have
Shall utterly consume away
within the rotting grave.


verse 15 But surely God redemption
unto my soul will give
Even from the graves prevailing power.
for he will me receive.

verse 16 Be not afraid when as a man
in wealth is made to grow;

[Page 125]And when the glory of his house
abundantly doth flow.


verse 17 For when as he doth come to die,
nought shall he take away:
Nor shall there after him descend
his glorious array.

verse 18 Although in his life-time his soul
for blessed he did take.
And men will praise thee when as thou
much of thy self dost make.


verse 19 He shall go to his fathers race,
they never shall see light:
In honour man that knows not, is

Which of all beauty excellent

Because the mighty God himself

verse 9 I'll take no bullocks nor he goats
from house or folds of thine.


verse 10 For forrest-beasts, and cattel all
on thousand hills are mine.

verse 11 The fowls that on the mountains flie,

verse 16 But to the wicked God doth say,
why dost thou mention make
Of statutes mine? why in thy mouth
should'st thou my cov'nant take?


verse 17 Whereas thou dost instruction hate,
and my words from thee cast.


verse 18 When thou didst see a thief, with him
then thou consented hast.

And likewise with adulterers

PSAL. LII To the chief Musician, Maschil, A psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.

O Man of might, wherefore dost thou
thus boast thy self in ill?
The goodness of the mighty God,
endureth ever still.


verse 2 Thy tongue injurious mischief doth
presumptuously devise:
And like unto a razor sharp
it works deceitful lies.

verse 3 Thou lovest evil more than good,
more to speak lies than right.


verse 4 O guileful tongue thou dost in all
devouring words delight.


verse 5 God shall likewise for evermore
destroying thee deface:
He shall thee take away, and pluck
thee from thy dwelling place.

[Page 134]
Out of the land of th' living ones
he also will root thee. Selah


verse 6 The just shall fear and laugh at him,
when they this thing shall see.

In Gods benignity for ay

If any that do h understand,

verse 3 They altogether filthy are,
each one is backward gone:
There is not any that doth good,

verse 4 The workers of iniquitie,
have they no knowledge all?
Who eat my people, even as bread,
on God they do not call.

Mischief also and sorrow do

verse 11 In midst thereof there's wickedness,
deceit doth there abide:
Likewise out of the streets thereof
guile turneth not aside.

Nor did my hater vaunt o're me,
from him I could me hide.

Because that they no changes have,

verse 3 I'll put my trust in thee always,

verse 5 All day they wrest my words for ill:

Because they watch this soul of mine,

O God in wrath without delay

break of the lions young.

verse 7 As waters let them melt away,
continually that flee:
And when he bends his shafts, let them
as cut asunder be.


verse 8 As melts a snail, let every one
of them away so run:
Like womens timeles birth, that they
may never see the sun.

verse 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns
so shall he them surprise,
As with a whirlwind; both alive
and in most wrathful wise.


verse 10 The righteous shall rejo

he doth the vengeance see;
He shall his feet wash in the blood
of them that wicked be.

verse 11 So men shall say assuredly,
there's for the righteous fruit:
Sure there's a God that in the earth
doth judgment execute.

PSAL LIX. To the chief musician, Altaschith Michtam of David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

MY God from them deliver me,
that are mine enemies:
Set thou me up on high from them
that up against me rise.


verse 2 From them that painful wickedness
do work, deliver me;
And be to me a Saviour
from such as bloody be.

verse 3 For lo, they for my soul lay wait:
the mighty men combine
'Gainst me, not for my trespass, Lord,
nor any sin of mine.


verse 4 Without iniquity in me,
they run and ready make
Themselves: do thou behold, also
unto my help awake.

verse 5 Lord God of hosts: thou Israels God
to visit rise therefore,
All heathens; who sin wickedly
to them shew grace no more. Selah.


verse 6 At ev'ning back they do return,
they utter such a sound
As doth a dog, and so they go
about the city round.

[Page 146]


verse 7 Behold they be

within their lips are swords:
For who is he that doth us hear?
these are their very words.

God shall give me upon my foes
my full desire to see▪


verse 11 Them shy not, lest my folk forget:
but scatter them apart
By thy strong power; & bring them down
our shield and Lord who art.

verse 12 For their mouths sin, & their lips words▪
and in their pride them take;
And for their cursing and their 
 [...]ies,
which in their spe

verse 13 Consume thou them, in wrath consume
and let them be no more:
So they, that God in Jacob rules,
shall know the earth all o're. Selah.

verse 14 And 
 [...]hey at evening shall return,
noi

[Page 147]And so about the city round,
a compass they shall take.


verse 15 And they shall wander up and down
to seek what they may eat:
And if they be not satisfy'd,
then shall they grudge thereat.

verse 16 But I will sing thy power, and shout
thy kindness in the morn:
For thou my tower and refuge art,
when as I am forlorn.


verse 17 A psalm of praise I will sing forth,
O thou my strength to thee:
For God is mine high tower, the God
of mercy mine is he.

Thou hast displeased been with us,

verse 2 The land to tremble thou hast caus'd,

 [...]hou it asunder brake:
Do thou the breaches of it heal,
for it doth moving shake.

[Page 148]


verse 3 Thou hast thy people caus'd to see
things that are hard to bear:
And thou hast caused them to drink
the wine of trembling fear.

a banner who thee fear;
That it on high before the truth
displayed may appear. Selah.

verse 5 That those that thy beloved are

Through God we'll do great acts, he shall
our foes tread with disdain.

PSAL. LXI. To the chief musician upon Neginoth, A psalm of David.

be added days by thee;
His years as generation

verse 7 In presence of the mighty God

unto thy Name sing praise;
That I the vows that I have made
performe may all my days.

PSAL. LXII. To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, A psalm of David.

TRuly my waiting soul relies
in silence God upon:
Because from him there doth arise
all my salvation.


verse 2 He only is my rock, and he
salvation is to me;
And he is my defence that I
mov'd greatly shall not be.

verse 3 How long against a man will ye
plot mischief? you shall fall;
All as a to

and like a bowing wall.

[Page 151] 

verse 4 His excellence yet to suppress
they counsel do impart:
They lyes do love, with mouth they bless▪
but curse within their heart. Selah.

verse 5 My soul, wait thou on God alone,
my hopes on him abide,


verse 6 My rock, and safety he alone▪
my tow'r, I shall not slide.


verse 7 On God doth my salvation
and glory make abode:
The rock of my munition,
my refuge is in God.

verse 8 Ye people upon him, O see
you put your trust alway:
Pour out your hearts before him ye:
God is our hopeful stay. Selah.


verse 9 Sure base mens sons are vanitie,
and high mens sons a lie:
When jointly they in ballance lie:
more light than vanitie.

verse 10 In robb'ry be not vain, nor yet
trust in oppression:
If wealth encrease, yet do not set
your hearts delight thereon.


verse 11 Once spoken hath the God of might,
this word once and again
I plainly heard, that powerful might

that thirsty is and dry:


verse 2 As in thine house I saw, to see
thy strength and majesty.

verse 3 Because thy loving kindness more

Than li

thy praises forth shall tell.


verse 4 Thus I'll thee bless continually
whilst that alive 
I am:
And I these hands of mine on high

my soul shall filled be:
With joyful lips my mouth also
shall render praise to thee.

as on my bed I lie;
In watches of the night withal
when on thee muse do I.

O God when I my prayer make,
my voice then do thou hear:
Also do thou preserve my life
safe from the enemies fear.


verse 2 From secret plots of wicked men
hide me in secrecy:
From th' insurrection of all them
that work iniquity.

verse 3 Who have their tongue so sharply whe

as if it were a sword:

[Page 154]And bend their bows to shoot their shafts
a very bitter word.


verse 4 That they in secrecy may shoot
the perfect man to hit;

 [...] suddenly do shoot at him,
nor are afraid of it.

verse 5 Themselves they in a matter ill
encourage, how they may
Lay snares in secret; 'tis their talk
who shall them see? they say.


verse 6 They do search out iniquity,
a search exact they keep:
The inward thought of every man
and heart is also deep.

verse 7 But God shall shoot at them a shaft;
their wound be sudden shall.


verse 8 So as they shall their own tongue make
upon themselves to fall:
All that them see away shall flee.

The works of God: for of his deed

against me sore do they;
But as for our transgressions,

For with the good things of thy house

verse 10 Her ridges richly water'st thou
her furrows thou sett'st fast:
With showers thou mak'st it soft to be,
her springing blest thou hast.


verse 11 Thou with thy goodness dost the year

Not turn'd away: nor yet his own

where 
I no standing have;
Into deep waters I am come,
where floods me overflow.


verse 3 I of my crying weary am,
my throat is dried so:

Mine eyes fail, for my God I wait.


verse 4 They that have hated me
Without a cause, than mine heads hairs
they more in number be.
Also mine enemies wrongfully
they are that would me slay,
They mighty are; then I restor'd
what 
I took not away.

verse 5 O God thou know'st my foolishness,
my sin's not hid from thee.


verse 6 Who wait on thee Lord God of hosts,
let not be sham'd for me.
O never suff

for thee inquiry make,
O God of Israel, to be
confounded for my sake.

verse 7 By reason that I for thy sake
reproach have suffered,
Confusion my countenance
hath over-covered.


verse 8 I as a stranger am become
my brethren ev'n unto,
Unto my mothers children I
an alien am also.

verse 9 For of thy house the fervent zeal
hath quite up eaten me:
And on me their reproach

that have reproached thee.


verse 10 In fasts I wept, and spent my soul
 [...];
this was reproach to me.


verse 11 And I my garment sackcloth made,
yet must their proverb be.

verse 12 They that do sit within the gate.
against me speak they do:

I was a song also


verse 13 But I in an accepted time
to thee Lord make my prayer:
O God me in thy saving truth,
and in much mercy hear.

The deep, and let not thou the pit
her mouth upon me shut.

verse 16 Jehovah, hear thou me, for good

After thy mercies multitude,
O turn thy face to me.

thy countenance away,
Because that I in trouble am,
hear me without delay.

Deliver me becaus

verse 19 Thou my reproach hast known, also
my shame and my disgrace;
Mine adversaries every one,
they are before thy face.

verse 20 Reproach mine heart hath broke, 
I griev'd:

I sought some me to moan,
But none there was; and sought for some
to comfort; but found none.


verse 21 Instead moreover of my meat
they gave unto me gall:
They gave me vinegar to drink,
to quench my thirst withal.

verse 22 Their table let before their face
to them become a snare;
And let it be a trap, which should
have been for their welfare.


verse 23 Their eyes let darkned be likewise,
that they may never see;
With trembling also make their loins
to shake continually.

verse 24 Pour out thine ire on them, let seiz
on them thine anger fell.


verse 25 Their palace let be desolate,
none in their tents let dwell.


verse 26 B
 [...]cause they do him persecute
on whom thy stroke is found:

[Page 169]Also they talk unto the grief
of them whom thou dost wound.

verse 27 Do thou to their iniquity
iniquity more add:
Into thy righteousness for them
let entrance none be had.


verse 28 Out of the book of living ones
O do thou them forth blot:
And them amongst that righteous are
be written let them not.

verse 29 But I, O God am poor and sad:
let thy health lift me high.


verse 30 With song I'll praise the name of God▪

Than any ox or bullock young
that horn'd and hoofed are.

verse 32 This thing when as they shall behold▪
then shall be glad the meek:
Also your heart shall ever live,
that after God do seek


verse 33 Because the Lord the poor doth hear,
nor's prisoners doth despise:


verse 34 Let heav'n, earth, seas him praise, & all
that move therein likewise.

[Page 170]


verse 35 For God will Judahs cities build,
and Sion he will save;
That they may dwell therein, and may

verse 36 And of his servants then the seed
inherit shall the same:
Also therein inhabit shall
they that do love his name.

PSAL. LXX. To the chief musician, A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

for thou'rt my rock and fort▪


verse 4 My God, from wicked's hand me free,
from fierce hand and unjust.


verse 5 Because thou Lord God art my hope,
and from my youth my trust.

verse 6 Up from the womb thou didst me stay:
thou didst deliver me
Out of my mothers bowels: ay
my praise shall be of thee.

verse 7 To many I a wonder am,
but thou my refuge strong.

verse 8 Let with thy praise my mouth be fill'd,

verse 9 Unto the time of elder age,
O cast me not away:

[Page 172]And do thou not abandon me
when my strength doth decay.

verse 10 For they that be mine enemies,
those men against me speak.
Who for my soul lay wait likewise,
together counsel take.


verse 11 They say God hath him quite forgone
now persecute him ye:
And apprehend ye him, for none
there is to set him free.

verse 12 O God from me depart not far,
my God to help me haste,


verse 13 Who my souls adversaries are,
O let them be abash'd.
Yea, let them quite consumed be,
let them be covered eke
With foul disgrace and infamy,

on thee will waiting be:
And more and more yet add I will
to all the praise of thee.

and thy salvation show
From day to day; for of the same
no numbers do I know.

verse 16 I in the strength of God the Lord
will still along go on;
I will thy righteousness record,
yea even thine alone


verse 17 From my youth up, O mighty God,
thou hast instructed me.
hitherto have shew'd abroad
the wonders wrought by thee.

verse 18 And now also when I am old,
and hoary hair'd, O God,
Forsake me not, till 
I have told
thy mighty pow'r abroad
Unto this generation,
and unto every one
That shall hereafter be to come,
thy strong dominion.

verse 19 Also thy righteousness O God,
is high exceedingly:
Great are the things that thou hast wrought
O God, who's like to thee?

(4)


verse 20 Thou who hast caused me to see
afflictions? great and sore,
Shalt turn and quicken me; and me
from depths of th' earth restore.


verse 21 Thou shalt my greatness multiply
and comfort me always.

[Page 174] 

verse 22 Also with tuned psaltery
I will shew forth thy praise▪

O thou my God, sing forth will I
to thee my harp upon:
Thy faithfulness and verity,
O Israels holy one.


verse 23 My lips rejoyce with shouting shall,
when I to thee shall sing
My soul which freely thou from thrall
to liberty didst bring.

verse 24 Likewise my tongue shall forth declare
thy justice all day long:
Because that they confounded are,
and sham'd that seek my wrong.

PSAL LXXII. A psalm for Solomon.

O God thy judgments give the King;
Thy justice likewise to his son.


verse 2 Just judgment he thy folk shall bring,
And to thy poor see judgment done.


verse 3 The mountains shall abundantly
Unto the people bring sorth peace;
The little hills accordingly
By ex
 [...]cuting righteousness.

verse 4 Poor of the people judge he shall,
And children of the needy save:
He shall to pieces break ev'n all
Them that with fraud oppressed have.

[Page 175]They shall thee fear while sun and moon
Endure, through generations all.


verse 6 Like rain on mown grass he shall come,
As show'rs on earth distilling fall.

verse 7 The just shall flourish in his days,
And store of peace till no moon be.


verse 8 And from the seas unto the seas,
From flood to lands end reign shall he.


verse 9 They that dwell in the wilderness
Themselves before him bow they must;
And they who are his enemies
They verily shall lick the dust.

(2)


verse 10 Upon him presents shall bestow
Of Tarshish and the Isles the Kings;
Sheba's, and Seba's kings also
Shall unto him give offerings.


verse 11 Yea, unto him all kings shall fall,
And serve him every nation;


verse 12 For needy crying save he shall,
The poor and helper that hath none.

verse 13 The poor and needy spare shall he,
The souls eke of the needy save.


verse 14 Their souls from fraud & wrong set free
By him shall they redemption have:
Their blood shall be in his eyes dear.


verse 15 And he shall live, and Shebahs gold

[Page 176]They shall him give; still by him prayer
Shall be, and daily he extoll'd.

verse 16 Of corn an handful shall be there
I'th' land the mountains tops upon;
Whose fruit in shaking shall appear
Like as the trees of Lebanon:
And who are of the city they
Like grass on earth shall flourish all.


verse 17 His name it shall endure for aye:
As long as sun continue shall

Even so his name continue shall:
And men in him themselves shall bless;
And of the world the nations all
Shall him the blessed one profess.


verse 18 O let Jehovah blessed be,
The God, the God of Israel,
For by himself alone doth he
Work things that wonderous are to tell.

verse 19 And blessed be his glorious name
For ever, let the earth fill'd be
Full with the glory of the same,
Amen, also Amen, say we.

For common Tunes.
And ay be blest his glorious name,
let all the earth fill'd be
Likewise with glory of the same,
Amen, Amen say we.

The Third BOOK of PSALMS.

PSAL. LXXIII. A psalm of Asaph.

SUre God is good to Israel,
ev'n to the clean in heart.

verse 2 But yet my feet had almost slipt,
my steps did well nigh start.

verse 3 For at the fools I envious was,
to see lewd men in peace.

verse 4 For without bands thro' death they pass
their strength doth nothing cease.

verse 5 Like other mean men they are not
in toilsome misery:
Nor stricken with like plagues are they,
as other mortals be.


verse 6 Pride therefore like a chain doth fence
them on each side about!
And like a garment violence
doth cover them throughout.

verse 7 Out of the fulness of their fat
extended are their eyes:
They do enjoy more prosperous state
than what their hearts devise.


verse 8 Corrupt they are, and wickedly
speak guile; they proudly talk.


verse 9 Their mouth the heav'ns doth defy,
their tongue thro' th' earth doth walk.

[Page 178]
(2)


verse 10 Therefore his people hitherto
do turn themselves about;
And waters of their cup o'reflow,
that are to them wrung out.


verse 11 And they have said, how can it be
that God this thing should know?
Is there in him that is most high
hereof the knowledge too?

verse 12 Behold th' ungodly men are these,
yet have tranquillity:
They do within the world encrease
in rich ability.


verse 13 Sure I have cleans'd my heart in vain,
hands wash'd in innocence.


verse 14 For every day I plagu'd have been,
each morn with chastisements.

verse 15 If I should say that I will make
this declaration:
Lo, of thy sons I should offend
the generation.


verse 16 When as I thought this thing to know
it was too hard for me:


verse 17 Till I did to Gods temple go,
where I their end did see.

(3)


verse 18 Surely in places slippery
these men thou placed hast▪

[Page 179]To desolations suddenly
thou dost them also cast.


verse 19 As in a moment how are they
brought to destruction?
And how are they consum'd away
with sad confusion?

verse 20 Like to a dream when as a man
awaking doth arise:
When thou awak'st their Image then
O Lord thou shalt despise.


verse 2 
 [...] My heart with grief was leaven'd so
prick'd were my reins in me.


verse 22 So foolish I, and did not know,
like as a beast with thee.

(4)


verse 23 Nevertheless continually
before thee I do stand:
Thou hast upheld me stedfastly
also by my right hand.


verse 24 Thou with thy prudent counsel shalt
direction to me give:
Up afterward also thou shalt
to glory me receive.

verse 25 In heav'n above, but thee alone,
who is it that I have?
And there is nothing th' earth upon
besides thee that I crave.

[Page 180] 

verse 26 This flesh of mine, also my heart
doth fail me altogether.
The mighty God he is my part
and strength of heart for ever.

verse 27 For lo, they that are far from thee
shall utterly decay.
All that a whoring go from thee
thou shalt consume away.


verse 28 But as for me it's good that 
I
near unto God repair.
I do on God the Lord rely,
thy works all to declare.

PSAL. LXXIV. Maschil of Asaph.

O God why hast thou cast us off?
thy rage why dost thou keep
For ever
 [...]ore thus smoaking out
against thy pasture sheep?


verse 2 Mind thou thy church thou bought'st of old;
even thy possessions rod
Which thou redeem'st, this Sions mount,
wherein thou hast abode.

verse 3 Unto the lasting ruinous wastes,
lift up thy feet on high:
All that the foe hath evilly done
within thy Sanctuary.


verse 4 Within the Congregations
wherein thy people me
 [...],

[Page 181]Thine enemies roar: their ensigns they
for tokens have up set.

verse 5 The man that axes on thick trees
did lift up, had renown


verse 6 But now with ax and mauls at once
they beat its carv'd works down.


verse 7 They fired have thy Sanctuary,
thy name its dwelling place,
By casting down unto the ground,
they do prophanely rase.

verse 8 Let us together them destroy,
thus in their heart they said,
Gods synagogues throughout the land
all in the flames they laid.

(2)


verse 9 Our signs we see not, there's no more
a prophet us among:
Nor with us any to be found,
that understands how long.


verse 10 How long yet shall th' oppressing foe
O mighty God, defame?
Thine enemy for evermore,
shall he blaspheme thy name?

verse 11 Why dost thou hold thine hand? pluck from
thy bosom thy right hand.


verse 12 God is my king of old, and works
salvation 'midst the land.

[Page 182] 

verse 13 Thou didst by thine almighty power
divide the sea asunder:
The dragons heads in pieces thou
didst break the waters under.

verse 14 The heads of the leviathan
thou into peices brake;
To people that in desarts dwell
for meat thou didst him make.


verse 15 Thou clav'st the fountain & the flood
thou dry'st up floods of might.


verse 16 Thine is the day, and night is thine;
thou sun prepar'st and light.

verse 17 Of all the borders of the earth
foundations laid'st thou fast:
The summer and the winter both
the same thou formed hast.

(3)


verse 18 Remember this the enemie doth
reproachfully defame:
Jehovah, and the foolish folk
blasphemed have thy name.


verse 19 O do not to the multitude
thy turtles soul deliver:
The congregation of thy poor
forget not thou for ever.

verse 20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect:
for where dark places be

[Page 183]Throughout the earth, they filled are
with seats of crueltie.


verse 21 O never let th' oppressed one
return away with shame:
O let the poor and needy one
give praise unto thy name

verse 22 Arise O God, plead thine own cause,
have thou in memory,
How day by day the foolish man
with scorn reproacheth thee.


verse 23 Thine enemies voice forget not thou;
the tumult loud of those
Continually ascends on high
that rise thee to oppose.

PSAL. LXXV. To the chief musician, Altaschith, A psalm or song of Asaph.

WE give thanks unto thee, O God:
we give thanks, and thy name
As-being very-near-at-hand
thy wonders do proclame.


verse 2 When I receive th' assembly shall,
judge uprightly I will.


verse 3 The earth melts and its dwellers all▪
I stay is pillars still. Selah▪

verse 4 I said unto the foolish ones
deal not so foolishly▪

[Page 184]Also unto the wicked ones,
lift not the horn on high.


verse 5 Lift ye not up your horn on high;
with stifned neck speak not:


verse 6 For from east, west, or wilderness,
promotion is not got.

verse 7 But God is judge: one he sets up,
another down doth tread.


verse 8 For in the Lord's hand is a cup,
the wine is also red:
Of mixture full, he pours there out;
but yet the wicked all
That are on earth, the dregs thereof
wring out, and drink them shall.

verse 9 But as concerning me, always
I will declare abroad:
And I will sing a psalm of praise
to him that's Jacobs God.


verse 10 Of men ungodly all the horns
also cut off will I:
But of the righteous ones the horns
shall be exalted high.

PSAL. LXXVI To the chief musician on Neginoth, A psalm or song of Asaph.

IN Judah God is known: his name
is great in Israel,

[Page 185] 

verse 2 In Salem also is his tent:
in Sion he doth dwell.


verse 3 He arrows of the bow there brake,
shield sword and battel too. Selah▪


verse 4 More bright and wondrous excellent
than mounts of prey art thou.

verse 5 They that are stout of heart are spoil'd
they sl
 [...]pt their sleep out right:
And none of them have found their hands
that were the men of might.


verse 6 O thou that art of Jacob God,
as thy rebuke out-past,
The chariot and the horse also
to sleep of death are cast.

verse 7 Thou, even thou ar
 [...] to be fear'd,
O who is he therefore,
When once thou angry art, that can
thy presence stand before?


verse 8 Thou didst out from the heav'ns above
cause Judgment to be heard;
The earth also in silence was
exceedingly afear'd.

verse 9 When as that God himself arose
his judgment to dispense,
Of all the meek ones of the earth
to be the safe defence. Selah.


verse 10 Assuredly the wrath of man
shall praises to thee gain:

[Page 186]And the remainder of their wrath
the same thou shalt restrain.

verse 11 Vow to the Lord your God, and pay
all that about him are;
And bring ye an oblation
to him that is our fear.


verse 12 The spirit that in princes is
asunder cut shall he:
Unto the kings on earth that are
he shall most dreadful be.

PSAL. LXXVII. To the chief musician to Jeduthun, A psalm of Asaph.

MY voice was to the mighty God,
yea, cryed out I have:
My voice was to the mighty God,
an ear to me he gave.


verse 2 In my distress I sought the Lord,
my sore ran in the night,
And ceased not; my soul also
refused comfort quite.

verse 3 I did remember God, likewise
disquieted was I:
I did complain, my spirit also
o'rewhelm'd was heavily. Selah.


verse 4 Awaking thou dost hold mine eyes;
I cannot speak for fears.

[Page 187] 

verse 5 I have considered days of old,
of ancient times the years.

(2)


verse 6 To my remembrance I do call
the song in night I had:
I commun'd with my heart, also
strict search my spirit made.


verse 7 For ever will the Lord cast off?
and pleas'd will he not be?


verse 8 His tender mercy is it ceast
to perpetuity.

His promise doth it sail for aye?


verse 9 What to be gracious
Hath God forgoten? and shut up
in wrath his b
 [...]wels thus?
* 10 Then said I, this my weakness is,
yet to remembrance I
Will call the years of the right hand
of him that is most high.

verse 11 
I will unto remembrance call
the actions of the Lord:
Thy wondrous works of ancient time
I surely will record.


verse 12 I'll muse of all thy works likewise,
and of thy doings talk.


verse 13 Within the temple is the way,
O God where thou dost walk.

[Page 188]
(3)


verse 14 What God so great as our God is?
works wonderful that are
Thou God hast done; amongst the folk
thou dost thy strength declare.


verse 15 Thy people thou from thraldom hast
with thy strong arm set free,
Of Jacob and of Joseph too
those that the children be. Selah.

verse 16 Thee did the waters see O God,
thee did the waters see:
They were afraid, the deeps also
could not but troubled be▪


verse 17 With waters were the clouds pour'd forth
the skies a sound out-sent:
Also thine arrows on each side
abroad dispersed went.

verse 18 Thy thunders voice in heaven was;
thy lightnings they did make
The world enlightned, and the earth
did tremble and did shake.


verse 19 Thy ways i'th' sea, thy paths & steps
unknown are in the deep.


verse 20 By 
 [...] and by Aarons hand,
thou ledst thy folk like sheep.

PSAL. LXXVIII. Maschil of Asaph.

GIve listning ear unto my law,
ye people that are mine:

[Page 189]Unto the sayings of my mouth
do you your ear encline.


verse 2 My mouth I'll ope in parables,
I'll speak things hid of old:


verse 3 Which we have heard & known; and which
our fathers have us told.

verse 4 Them from their children wee'l not hide
but shew the age to come,
The Lord his praise, his strength & works
of wonder he hath done.


verse 5 In Jacob he a witness set,
a law in Israel
He gave, which he our fathers charg'd
they should their children tell.

verse 6 That th' age to come, & children which
are to be born might kn
 [...]w;
That they who should arise, the same
might to their children show.


verse 7 That they upon the mighty God
their confidence might set:
Gods works and his commandements
might keep and not forget.

verse 8 And might not like their fathers be,
a cross, stiff race, a race.
That set not right their hearts: nor firm
with God their spirit was.

[Page 190]
(2)


verse 9 The armed sons of Ephraim,
that went out with their bow,
Did turn their back the day wherein
they did to battel go.


verse 10 Gods cov'nant they observed not,
to walk in's law deni'd.


verse 11 His works and wonders they forgot,
that he to them prescrib'd.

verse 12 He many a wondrous thing did work
before their fathers eyes;
Within the land of Egypt seen,
in Zoan field likewise.


verse 13 Asunder he the sea did part,
and caus'd them through to pass:
And he the waters made to stand,
that as an heap it was.

verse 14 With cloud by day, with fire by night


verse 15 he led them. Rocks he clave
In wilderness: as from great deeps
drink unto them he gave.


verse 16 Ev'n from out of the stony rock
streams he did bring also,
And caused water to run down
like as the rivers do.

(3)


verse 17 Moreover they did add yet more
against him for to sin:

[Page 191]By their provoking the most high
the wilderness within.


verse 18 Moreover they within their heart
by tempting God did try:
By asking earnestly for meat
their lusts to satisfy.

verse 19 And spake against the mighty God;
and said, What is God able
Within the desart wilderness
to furnish us a table?


verse 20 Lo, he the rock smote, waters thence
gusht out, and streams did flow:
Can he for's people flesh provide?
can he give bread also?

verse 21 The Lord heard, he was wroth for this
so kindled was a fire
'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israel
there came up wrathful ire.


verse 22 For they in God believed not,
nor in his health did hope.


verse 23 Tho' from above he charg'd the clouds
and doors of heaven set ope.

verse 24 On them he manna rain'd to eat,
and gave them heavens wheat.


verse 25 Each man of them eat angels food,
to th' full he sent them meat.


verse 26 I'th' heav'ns he made the east wind blow
brought south wind by his power.

[Page 192] 

verse 27 He flesh on them like dust, wing'd fowls
like sand of seas did shower

verse 28 And in the middest of their camp
he caused it to fall;
Ev'n round about on every side
their dwelling places all.


verse 29 So they did eat, they filled were
abundantly also:
For that which was their own desire,
he did on them bestow.

(4)


verse 30 They from their 
 [...]usting appetite
were not estrang'd at all:
But while their meat was in their mouth,


verse 31 Gods wrath did on them fall,
And slew their fat ones, and smote down
the choice of Israels men.


verse 32 Yet for all this they sinn'd, nor did
believe his wonders then.

verse 33 Therefore in vanity the days
he of their life did spend;
And he their years brought hastily
unto a fearful end.


verse 34 When he them slew, then after him
they sought with their desire:
And they return'd and after God
they early did enquire.

[Page 193]


verse 35 Likewise that God was their strong rock
they call'd to memory.
And how that their redeemer was
the mighty God most high.


verse 36 Yet with their mouth they flattered,
and to him their tongues ly'd.


verse 37 For right their heart was not with him
nor did in's cov'nant 'bide.

verse 38 But full of mercy he forgave
their sin, and stroy'd them not,
Yea, oft he turn'd his wrath aside:
nor rais'd all's his anger hot.


verse 39 For he recalled unto mind,
how that frail flesh they were:
And as it were a passing wind
that doth no more appear

(5)


verse 40 How oft in desart vext they him,
and grief put him upon?


verse 41 Yea they did turn tempt G
 [...]d, & did
stint Israels holy one.


verse 42 His hand they did not keep in mind,
no
 [...] on the day they thought
Wherein he from the en
 [...]my
for them deliverance wrought.

verse 43 How he his signs miraculous
in Egypt wrought l
 [...]kewise:

[Page 194]And also in the field of Zoan
his fearful prodigies.


verse 44 Also how he their rivers had
converted into blood;
And so as that they could not drink
the waters of the flood.

verse 45 Amongst them which did them devour
he sent forth divers fl
 [...]s;
And to destroy them, them amongst
he sent the frogs likewise.


verse 46 He gave their fruit to th' caterpillars,
to locusts gave their toil.


verse 47 He did their vines destroy with hail,
with frost their fig trees spoil.

(6)


verse 48 Their cattel he delivered up
unto the hail also:
And he their herds of cattel gave
hot thunder-bolts unto▪


verse 49 He cast on them fierce ire and wrath▪
and indignation strong;
And sore dist
 [...]ess by sending forth
ill angels them among

verse 50 He made a way unto his wrath,
their soul he did not save
From death, but unto pestilence
their lively ones he gave.

[Page 195] 

verse 51 He within Egypt land also
the first-born all did smite;
Those that within the tents of Ham
were chiefest of their might.

verse 52 But like a flock of sheep he made
his people forth to go,
And in the desart like a flock
he guided them also.


verse 53 In safety he them led likewise,
so that they did not fear:
But in the sea their enemies
he overwhelmed there.

verse 54 The border of his holy place
them thereunto he brought:
Yea, even to his mountain which
by his right hand he bought.


verse 55 For them he cast 
 [...]he heathen out,
he did their lot divide
By line, and Isra'ls tribes he made
in their tents to abide.

(7)


verse 56 Yet they did tempt and bitterly
did grieve the God most high;
Also his testimonies they
kept not attentively.


verse 57 But like their fa
 [...]hers, back they turn'd,
and faithlessness did show;

[Page 196]They turned were aside ev'n like
unto a warping bow.

verse 58 For they to anger did provoke
him with their places high:
And with their graven images
mov'd him to Jealousie.


verse 59 God hearing this was wrath, & loath'd
Isr'el with hatr
 [...]d great.


verse 60 So Shiloh's tent he left, the tent
which he among men set.

verse 61 And he delivered up his strength
into captivity;
Also into the enemies hand
his glorious majesty.


verse 62 To th' sword he gave his folk, & was

 [...] with his heritage▪


verse 63 Their young men 
 [...]re devour'd: their maids
none gave in marriage.

verse 64 Their priests fell by the sword likewise:
their widows did not weep


verse 65 Then did the Lord arise as one
awakned out of sleep:
Like as a strong man after wine


verse 66 Doth shout. He also smote
His f
 [...]es behind; so gave he them
an everlasting bl
 [...]t.

[Page 197]
(8)


verse 67 Then he did Josephs tent refuse,
nor 
 [...]phraims tribe approv'd.


verse 68 But did the tribe of Judah chuse,
mount Sion which he lov'd.


verse 69 His holy place he builded then
like palaces on high:
Like to the earth which he did set.
to perpetuity.

verse 70 He of his servant David then
did his election make:
And from the place of folding in
the sheep he did him take.


verse 71 From following of the ews with young
he did him then advance
His people Jacob for to feed,
Isr'els inheritance.

verse 72 So he them fed according to
his hearts integrity;
And by his skilfulness of hand
them led accordingly.

PSAL LXXIX. A psalm of Asaph.

O God the heathen entred have
thine heritance, and defil'd
Thine holy temple: they on heaps
Jerusalem have pil'd.

[Page 198] 

verse 2 Thy servants bodies that are dead
they given have for meat
To th' fowls of heav'n to th' beasts of th' earth
flesh of thy saints to eat.

verse 3 Their blood they have forth poured round
about Jerusalem:
Like unto water, and there was
none for to bury them


verse 4 To those that near unto us dwell
reproach b
 [...]come are we,
A scoffing and a scorn to them
that round about us be.

verse 5 How long Jehovah! wilt thou still
continue in thine ire
For ever? shall thy jealousie
burn forth like unto fire?


verse 6 Upon the heathen pour thy wrath,
who never did thee know:
Upon the kingdoms that have not
call'd on thy name also.

verse 7 B

and they his dwelling place

verse 8 Mind not against us former sins;
O let thy bowels haste

[Page]Us to prevent, because we are
near utterly laid waste.


verse 9 God of our safety help thou us,
for th' honour of thy name:
Free us also, and purge away
our sins ev'n for the same.

verse 10 Why say the heathen, where's their God?
before them bring to light
The vengeance of thy saints blood-shed,
and that before our sight.


verse 11 Before thee let the prisoners sighs
come up accordingly
As mighty is thine arm; save those
that are design'd to die.

verse 12 And to our neighbours seven fold
into their bosome pay:
Their vile reproach wherewith O Lord,
reproached thee have they.


verse 13 So we thy folk and pasture-sheep
will give thee thanks always:
And unto generations all
we will shew forth thy praise.

PSAL. LXXX. To the chief musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.

verse 2 Ephraim before and Benjamin,
Manassehs tribe also.
O stir thou up thy strength and come
for us salvation show.

verse 3 O God return thou us again,
and cause thy countenance
To shine forth upon us, that we
may have deliverance.


verse 4 Lord God of hosts how long wilt thou
smoak 'gainst thy peoples prayers


verse 5 Thou makest them to feed upon
the bread of mournful tears.

And giv'st them many tears to drink,


verse 6 Our Neighbours strife likewise
Thou mak'st us, & amongst themselves
do laugh our enemies


verse 7 O God of hosts turn us again,
and cause thy countenance
To shine forth upon us, so we

verse 8 From Egypt thou hast brought a vine,
forth also thou didst cast
The heathen people, in their room
the same thou planted hast.

[Page 201] 

verse 9 Yea, thou before it didst prepare
a room where it may stand:
Thou didst it cause deep root to take,
and it did fill the land.

verse 10 Her shade hid hill
 [...], her boughs also
like goodly cedars stood.


verse 11 She sent her boughs unto the sea
her branches to the flood.


verse 12 O why then hast thou broken down
her h

So that all those do pluck at her
that in the way pass by?

verse 13 The Boar out of the wilderness

And wild beasts of the field the same

verse 14 We do beseech thee to return,
O God of hosts, incline
To look from heaven, and behold,

verse 15 The Vineyard which thou hast also
with thy right-hand set fast:
That branch likewise which for thy self
confirm'dst thou strongly hast.


verse 16 It is consumed with the fire,
and utterly cut down▪
They perish do, and that because
thy countenance doth frown.

[Page 202]


verse 17 Upon the man of thy right hand
thine hand let present be
Upon the son of man whom thou
hast made so strong for thee.


verse 18 So from henceforth we never will
from thee go back at all:
O do thou quicken us, and we
upon thy name will call.

verse 19 Lord God of hosts, turn us again,
and cause thy countenance

shall have deliverance.

PSAL. LXXXI. To the chief musician, upon Gittith, a Psalm of Asaph.

UNto the mighty God o
 [...] strength
sing with a shouting voice:
Unto the God of Jacob

make ye a joyful noise.


verse 2 Take up a Psalm of melody,
the timbrel hither bring
Together with the Psaltery,
and Harps sweet sounding string.

verse 3 As in the time of the new Moon▪
with Trumpet sound on high:
As in appointed time and day
of our solemnity,

[Page 203] 

verse 4 Because that unto Israel
this thing a statute was,
And by the God of Jacob this
did for a judgment pass.

verse 5 This witness he in Joseph se
 [...],
when be through Egypt went:
Whereas a language I did hear,
but knew not what it mean
 [...] ▪


verse 6 I from the burthen which he bare
his shoulder did set free.
His hands also were from the pots
delivered by me.

verse 7 Thou call'dst in straits, and I thee freed;
in thunders secrecy
I answer'd thee at Meribah
it's waters proved thee. Selah▪

verse 8 Hear, O my people, and I will
unto thee testify:
If that thou wilt, O Israel,
hear me attentively.


verse 9 There shall not any strange god b
 [...]
in midst of thee at all:
Nor unto any forreign god
thou bowing down shalt fall.

verse 10 I am the Lord thy God, who thee
from land of Egypt led:

[Page 204]Thy mouth ope wide, and thou by me
with plenty shalt be fed.


verse 11 Thy people yet would not give ear
unto the voice I spake:
And Israel would not in me
their full contentment take.

verse 12 So their perverse intents of heart
I left them up to have;
And let them walk on in the way
which their own couns
 [...]ls gave.


verse 13 O that my people unto me
obedient had been!
And O that Israel he had
walked my ways within!

verse 14 I shou
 [...]d within a little time
have pulled down their foes:
I should have turn'd my hand upon
such as did them oppose.


verse 15 The ha
 [...]ers of the Lord to him

 [...]bedi

But unto perpetuity
their time should have remain'd

verse 20 And with the finest of the wheat
have nourish'd them should he:
With hon

have satis

PSAL. LXXXII A Psalm of Asaph.

THe mighty God doth stand within
th' assembly of

And he it is that righteously
doth judge the gods among.


verse 2 Give judgment of unrighteousness
how long a time will ye,
Will ye accept the countenance
of those that wicked be?

verse 3 See that the needy ye defend,
also the fatherless:
Unto th' afflicted justice do,
and to them in distress.


verse 4 The wasted poor, and those that are
in need deliver ye;
And them redeem out of the hand
of such as wicked be.

verse 5 They know not, nor will understand,
in darkness they walk on,
The 
 [...]arths foundations all of them
quite out of course are gone▪


verse 6 I said that ye were gods, likewise
sons of the highest all:


verse 7 But ye shall die like men and like,
one of the princes fall

verse 8 That thou mayst judge the earth▪ O God

verse 9 As thou didst to the Midianites,
so do to them also:
As Jabin to, and Sisera,
at Kishons brook, so do▪


verse 10 Who near to Endor suddenly
were quite discomfited:
Who also did become as dung,
that on the earth is spread.

verse 11 Like unto Oreb, and like Zeeb,
make thou their Nobles fall.
As Zeba and Zalmuna too
make thou their Princes all.


verse 12 Who said, for our possession
Gods houses let us take.


verse 13 My God, them like a wheel, like straw
before the wind them make.

verse 14 As fire doth burn a wood, and as
the flame sets hills on fire.

[Page 208] 

verse 15 So with thy tempest them pursue
and fright them in thine ire▪


verse 16 Do thou their faces all fill full
of ignominious shame;
That so they may, O Lord, be made
to seek unto thy name.

verse 17 Put to confusion let them be,
and vexed sore for aye;
Yea, let them unto shame be put,
and utterly decay.


verse 18 That men may know that thou whose Name
JEHOVAH is alone,
Art over all the earth throughout
advanc'd the highest One.

PSAL. LXXXIV. To the chief musician, A Psalm for the Sons of Korah

HOw amiable, Lord of Hosts,

verse 2 My soul longs for Jehov

Unto the strong and living God,

verse 3 Yea, sparrows find an house, her nest

[Page 209]O thou that art of armies Lord
my King, my God also


verse 4 O blest are they within thy house,

verse 5 Blest is the man whose strength's in thee
in whose heart are the wayes.

verse 6 The Passengers in Baca's vale,
a fountain do it make:
Also the pools that are therein,

verse 7 From strength to strength they go to God,
in Sion all appear.


verse 8 Lord God of hosts, O hear my prayer,
O Jacobs God give ear.

verse 9 Behold, O God, our shield, the face
of thine anointed see.


verse 10 For better's in thy Cour

I rather had a door-keep

Than in the tents of wickedness

verse 11 Because the Lord God is a Sun,
he is a shield also:
Jehovah on his people grace
and glory will bestow:

O Jacob the captivity

verse 2 Thou also the iniquity:
Hast of thy people pardoned:
Thou all their sin hast covered. Selah.

verse 3 Thou all thine anger didst withdraw,
From thy fi

Thou turned hast thy self away.

Convert thou us, and do thou make
Thine anger towards us to slake.

Wilt thou thine indignation,
Draw out to generation,
And unto generation?

verse 8 I'll hear what God the Lord will speak,
For hee'll speak peace his folk unto,
And to his saints: but let not them
To foolishness return again.

verse 9 His saving health is nigh at hand,
Surely to all that do him fear,
That glory may dwell in our Land.


verse 10 Mercy and Truth are met full near,
Prosperity and righteousness,
Embracing did each other kiss.

verse 11 Truth springs out of the earth, also
From heaven looketh righteousness.

And our land shall yield her increase.

Thou from the fierceness of thine ire
thy self returned hast.

verse 4 Turn us again, O thou the God
of our salvation;

[Page 212]And towards us cause thou to cease
thine indignation.


verse 5 Wilt thou be angry still with us
for evermore: what shall
Thine anger be by thee drawn out
to generations all?

verse 6 Wilt thou not us revive? in thee
thy folk rejoyce shall so:

thy saving health bestow.

verse 8 I'll hear what God the Lord will say,
because he will speak peace.
Unto his folk, and saints, lest they
return to foolishness▪


verse 9 Sure nigh to them that do him fear
is his salvation;
That glory may within our land
have habitation.

verse 10 Mercy and truth do jointly meet,
justice and peace do kiss:

verse 9 The nations all, O Lord,

verse 4 I'll Rahab name, and Babel to
them that acknowledge me;

Behold Philistia and Tyre,

verse 5 This man was born. This & that man
was also born in her.
Of Sion thus it shall be said,
and he that is most high.
Ev'n he himself shall her prepare

shall count, there born was he.


verse 7 There singers and musicians are;
my springs are all in thee.

PSAL. LXXXVIII. A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leanoth▪ Maschil, of Heman the Ezrahite.

LOrd God of my salvation,
Before thee day and night cry'd I:


verse 2 O let my pray'r before thee come,
Incline thine 
 [...] unto my cry.


verse 3 Because my soul is troubled so,
And to the grave my life draws nigh.


verse 4 Counted with them to th' pit that go,
As one that hath no strength am I,

[Page 219]


verse 5 As free among those that be dead
Like to the slain in grave up-shut;
By thee no more remembered,
And by thy hand that off are cut.


verse 6 Thou hast me laid i' th' pit most low,
In darknesses within deep caves.


verse 7 Hard on me lies thy wrath also
Thou me afflict'st with all thy waves

verse 8 Men that of mine acquaintance be
Away from me thou far hast put
To them thou loathsome makest me,
From coming forth I am up-shut.


verse 9 Because of mine affliction,
Mine eye with mourning pines away:
Jehovah I thee call upon;
And to thee stretch my hands all day.

(2)


verse 10 Shew wonders to the dead wilt thou?
Shall dead men rise & thee confess? Selah.


verse 11 I'th' grave wilt thou thy kindness show
In lost estate thy faithfulness?


verse 12 Thy works that wonderful have been
What shall in darkness they be known?
And shall thy righteousness be seen
In that land of oblivion.

verse 13 But unto thee Lord have I cry'd,
At morn my pray'r preventeth thee.

[Page 220] 

verse 14 Why casts thou Lord, my soul aside
Why dost thou hid thy face from me?


verse 15 I'm poor afflicted, and to 
 [...]ie
Am ready from my youthful years:
Distraught with troubles sore am I,
While I do bear thy horrid fears.

verse 16 Thy fierce wrath over me doth go,
Thy terrours they do me dismay


verse 17 As waters, compass me they do,
Together they surround all day,


verse 18 Friend & companion thou hast far
Removed off away from me;
To those that mine acquaintance are
I am in dark obscurity.

PSAL. LXXXIX. Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

THe mercies of Jehovah sing
for evermore will I:
I'll with my mouth thy truth make known
to all posterity.


verse 2 For I have said, that mercy shall
for ever be up built;
Establish in the very heavens
thy faithfulness thou wilt.

verse 3 With him that is my chosen one▪
a cov'nant made I have:
And to my servant David I
by oath this promise gave.

[Page 221] 

verse 4 To perpetuity thy seed
establish sure I will
Likewise to generations all
thy throne I'll build up still. Selah,

verse 5 Also the heav'ns thy wonders, Lord,
they shall with praise confess:
Within th' assembly of the same
likewise thy faithfulness.


verse 6 For to the Lord the heav
 [...]ns within
who is 't we can compare?
Who's like the Lord among the sons
of them that mighty are?

(2)


verse 7 God greatly in the church of saints
is to be had in fear;
And to be reverenc'd of all those
that round about him are.


verse 8 Jehovah, O thou God of hosts
strong JAH, who's like to thee?
Thy faithfulness on every side,
doth round encompass thee.

verse 9 Over the raging of the sea
thou dost dominion bear:
When as the waves thereof arise
by thee they stilled are.


verse 10 Like to one slain thou broken hast
in pieces Rahab quite:

[Page 222]Thou hast disperst thine enemies,
ev'n by thine arm of might.

verse 11 To thee the heavens do belong,
the earth likewise to thee.
The world with fulness of the same
by thee they founded be.


verse 12 The north together with the south,
thou didst create the same:
Tabor likewise and Hermons hill
rejoyce shall in thy Name.

(3)


verse 13 Thou hast a very mighty arm,
thy hand in strength is great;
And also that right hand of thine
aloft on high is set.


verse 14 The habitation of thy throne,
justice and judgment are;
Their way before thy face to go
both grace and truth prepare.

verse 15 O blessed are the people that
the joyful sound do know;
Lord, in thy countenances light
they up and down shall go.


verse 16 They all the day shall in thy Name
rejoyce exceedingly:
And in thy righteousness; they shall
be lifted up on high.

[Page 223]


verse 17 Because that thou art of their strength
the glorious dignity:
Our horn it shall exalted be
in thy benignity.


verse 18 Because Jehovah is to us
a safe protection;
And he that is our soveraign
is Isr'els holy one.

(4)


verse 19 Then didst thou speak in vision
unto thy saint, and said,
On such an one as mighty is
I have salvation laid.


verse 20 One chosen from the folk I rais'd,
my servant David I
Have found, him I anionted with
my oyl of sanctity.

verse 21 With whom my hand shall stablish'd be
mine arm him strengthen shall


verse 22 Also the enemy shall not
exact on him at all:
Nor shall the sons of wickedness
afflict him any more.


verse 23 Before him I'll beat down his foes
and plague his haters sore.

verse 24 My mercy yet and verity
with him shall be the same;

[Page 224]His horn likewise shall be on high
exalted in my Name.


verse 25 Moreover, I within the sea
will cause his hand to stand;
Likewise within the rivers I
will settle his right hand.

verse 26 To me my father, thou my God,
and health's rock, he shall cry.


verse 27 And I will make him my first born,
than earthly kings more high.


verse 28 My mercy I will keep for him
to times which ever last:
With him also my covenant
shall be establish'd fast.

(5)


verse 29 Moreover I his seed will make
for to endure always;
And I his throne establish will
like as of heav'n the days.


verse 30 If that his sons forsake my law,
and from my judgment swerve:


verse 31 If they my statutes break, and do
my precepts not observe.

verse 32 Their bold transgressions with the rod,
then visit sore will I
Likewise with stripes I visit will
their cross iniquity.

[Page 225] 

verse 33 My loving kindness yet from him
away take will not I:
Nor suffer, will in any wise
my faithfulness to lie.

verse 34 The Cov'nant I have made with him
shall not by me be broke:
That which is gone out of my lips
I never will revoke.


verse 35 Once sware I by my Holiness,
if I to David ly.


verse 36 His seed assuredly shall last
to perpetuity.

And like the Sun 'fore me his throne,


verse 37 It like the Moon shall stay:
And as in heaven a witness true
shall stablish'd be for ay.

(6)


verse 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorr'd
wroth wi
 [...]h thine ointed one▪


verse 39 Thou art. Thy servants covenant
thou hast made it as none:
By casting it unto the ground
thou hast prophan'd his crown.


verse 40 His forts to ruine thou hast brought
his hedges all broke down.

verse 41 All spoil him by the way that pass,
his neighbours scorn he's made.

[Page 226] 

verse 42 His foes right hand thou hast extoll'd
thou mak'st all's enemies glad.


verse 43 And of his sword the edge thou turn'st
nor mak'st him stand in fight.


verse 44 Thou dost his crown east down to ground
and cease his glory bright.

verse 45 And of his youthful years the days
thou hast diminished:
All over with confusion
thou hast him covered.

(7)


verse 46 How long Jehovah, wilt thou hide
thy self for evermore?
Like as a burning fire abide
shall thy displeasure sore?


verse 47 To thy remembrance do thou call
how short a time have I:
Wherefore hast thou created all
mens sons to vanity?

verse 48 What man alive in strength so great
that death he shall not see?
That from the hand of grave shall set
his soul at liberty;


verse 49 Thy former loving kindnesses
O Lord where are they now?
Which in thy truth and faithfulness
to David thou didst vow?

[Page 227]


verse 50 O Lord do thou thy servants scorn
unto remembrance call;
How in my breast I have it born,
from mighty people all.


verse 51 Wherewith O Lord thine enemies
do cast reproach upon:
Wherewith they do reproach the steps
of thine anointed one.

verse 52 O let Jehovah blessed be
to generations all:
Amen, so let it be also
Amen, be so it shall.

PSAL. XC. A prayer of Moses the Man of God,

THou Lord our stay, hast been an house
of habitation.
From generation, unto us,
to generation.


verse 2 Before the mountains were begot,
the earth and world before
Thou formed hadst, thou art a God
from ay for evermore.

verse 3 Thou dost by bruising to decay
turn miserable men;
Ye sons of men, then dost thou say
return ye back again.

[Page 228] 

verse 4 For while a thousand years do last,
it is but in thy sight
As yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch by night.

verse 5 Thou dost them bear away like as
a flood that overflows:
Like sleep they are, and as the grass,
which in the morning grows


verse 6 Which in the morn is flourishing,
and springing up doth rise;
Which is cut down at evening,
it withereth up likewise.

verse 7 Because by reason of thine ire
we wasted are away;
And by thine angers burning fire
we speedily decay.


verse 8 Thou hast set our iniquities
before thee in thy sight:
Our secret evils are likewise
before thy faces light.

verse 9 Because that in thy fury all
our days away are roll'd:
We spend away our years withal
like as a tale that's told.


verse 10 The time is threescore years and ten,
which our years days contain:
And if thro' strength they fourscore been,

 [...]heir strength is grief and pain.

[Page 229]
For soon its gone and hence we pass,


verse 11 O who is he doth know

 [...] strength? according as
thy fear thy wrath is so.


verse 12 O give thou us instruction
to number so our days,
That we our hearts may thereupon
turn into wisdoms ways.

verse 13 Jehovah turn thy self again,
how long yet shall it be?
And let it thee repent for them
that servants are to thee.


verse 14 O satisfie us early with
thy free benignity:
That so through all our days we may
joy and make melody.

verse 15 According to the days wherein
affliction we have had;
And years wherein ill we have seen
now also make us glad.


verse 16 Unto thy servants O do thou
thy handy work declare.
And shew thy comely glory to
those that their children are.

verse 17 The beauty of Jehovah thus
our God let on us be:
Confirm our handy work on us,
confirm'd be it by thee.

That they may thee preserve from ill

[Page 232]Because that known my name hath he,
I will him set on high.

With length of days, and to him shew

PSAL. XCII. A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath Day.

UNto Jehovah thanks to give
it is a comely thing:
And praises forth O thou most high,
unto thy name to sing.


verse 2 Thy loving kindness forth to show
within the morning light;
Thy truth and faithfulness also
to shew forth every night.

verse 3 Upon a ten string'd Instrument,
the Psaltery upon,
Upon the solemn sounding harp,
with meditation.


verse 4 For thou Jehovah, through thy work
hast made me to rejoyce;
And also in thy handy work

I will triumph with voice,

[Page 233]


verse 5 How great Jehovah are thy works▪
thy thoughts are very deep.


verse 6 The bruitish knows not, nor the fool
this in his heart doth keep.


verse 7 When as the wicked like to grass,
do springing up arise:
When they are in a flourishing case
that work iniquities.

verse 8 It is that they may be destroy'd
to perpetuity:
But thou Jehovah, dost abide,
for evermore most high.


verse 9 For lo, O Lord, thine enemies
for lo thy foes shall fall:
The workers of iniquities
they shall be scatter'd all.

verse 10 By thee mine horn shall be extoll'd
as unicorns on high:
And with fresh oyl when I am old
anointed be shall 
I:


verse 11 Also upon mine enemies,
mine eyes their wish shall see:
Mine ear of wicked men likewise
shall hear that rise 'gainst me.

verse 12 He flourish shall that righteous is,
the date-tree like unto,

[Page 234]He shall be like the cedar trees
in Lebanon that grow.


verse 13 They that within Jehovahs house
are planted stedfastly,
They in the court-yards of our God
shall flourish pleasantly.

verse 14 Their fruit they shall when they are gray,
continue forth to bring;
They shall be fat, yea likewise they
shall still be flourishing.


verse 15 To shew Jehovah upright is,
he is a rock to me;
And that he from unrighteousness
is altogether free.

JEhovah reigns, he cloathed is

Jehovah cloathed and begirt

The world also is stablished,

verse 2 Thy throne is stablished of old,
thou art from lasting ay.

verse 3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods lift up their voice:
The floods on high have lifted up
their waves with dashing noise.

[Page 235] 

verse 4 The Lord on high is more in might
than many waters noise:
Yea, than the mighty breaking waves
of th' oceans roaring voice.

Jehovah, sanctity
Doth suitably become thine house
unto eternity.

how long triumph shall they?

verse 4 O how long shall they utter forth,

How long shall all such boast themselves

mans teacher, knows not he?

verse 11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of man,
that they are very vain:


verse 12 Lord blest is he whom thou correct'st
and in thy law dost train.


verse 13 That thou may'st give him quietness
from days of misery:
Until the pit be digged for
such as do wickedly.

verse 14 Because Jehovah never will
his people cast away:
Nor yet will he forsake his own
inheritance for
 [...]ay.


verse 15 But judgment unto righteousness
it shall return again:
Likewise all upright ones in heart
they shall pursue it then.

verse 16 Against the evil doers who
will up for me arise?
Who will stand up for me 'gainst them
that work iniquities?

[Page 237] 

verse 17 Had not the Lord me help'd, my soul
had near in silence dwell'd.


verse 18 When as I said my foot slips, Lord
thy mercy me upheld.

verse 19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts
that are within my mind,
Still from thy consolations
my soul delight doth find.


verse 20 What shall the throne of wickedness
have fellowship with thee?
Mischievous molestation
which forgeth by decree.

verse 21 They jointly gathered themselves,
together they withstood
The soul of him that righteous is,
and damn'd the guiltless blood.


verse 22 Nevertheless Jehovah is
to me a refuge high:
My God he also is the Rock,
where I for safety fly.

verse 23 Their mischief he on them shall bring,
and in their wickedness
Shall cut them off, the Lord our God
ev'n he shall them suppress.

and Aaron whom he chose.

verse 27 His signs and wonders them amongst

verse 28 He darkness sent, and made it dark,
nor did they's word gainsay.

verse 29 He turn'd their waters into blood,

verse 30 Great store of frogs their land brought for

verse 31 He spake, there came mix

verse 32 He gave them hail for rain, and in
their land fires flame did make.


verse 33 Their vi

their coast trees eke he brake.

[Page 262]


verse 34 He spake, and then the locusts came,
and caterpillars such,
The number of them was so great,
that none could count how much.


verse 35 All their lands herbs they ate, and did
fruit of their ground devour.


verse 36 All first born in their Land he smote
the chief of all their power.

(4)


verse 37 He also thence did bring them forth
with silver and with gold:
And there was not among their tribes
a feeble person told.


verse 38 At their out-going Egypt joy'd,
for on them fell their dread:


verse 39 A cloud for covering, and a fire
to light the night, he spread.

verse 40 They ask'd & he brought quails with bread▪
he fill'd them from the sky.


verse 41 He clave the rock, and water flow'd,
floods ran in places dry.


verse 42 For on his holy promise he,
and servant Abraham thought.


verse 43 With joy his people, and with 
 [...]ongs
forth he his chosen brought.

verse 44 He of the heathen people did
the land on them bestow:

[Page 263]The labour of the people they
inherited also.


verse 45 To this intent that so they might
his statutes keep always.
And that they might his laws observe:
therefore Jehovah praise.

PSAL. CVI.

THe Lord praise to the Lord give thanks
because that good is he:
Because his mercy doth endure

verse 2 Who can the Lords strong acts forth tell
or all his praise display?


verse 3 Blest they that judgment keep, and who
doth righteousness alway.

verse 4 With favour of thy people, Lord,
do thou remember me:
Me visit with the saving health
that comes alone from thee.


verse 5 To see thy chosens good, and in
thy nations joy rejoyce;
That I with thine inheritance
may lift a glorious voice.

verse 6 As our fore-fathers did, so we
have sinned swervingly:
We practis'd have iniquity
we have done wickedly.

[Page 264]

verse 7 Our fathers learn'd not wonders thine
in Egypt, did not mind
Thy many mercies: but at Sea,
Red Sea rebell'd unkind.


verse 8 Nevertheless he saved them,
ev'n for his own Names sake,
That by the same his mighty power
he manifest might make.

verse 9 The Red-sea he rebuk'd also,
and up the same was dry'd:
So them, as through the wilderness,
he through the Sea did guide.


verse 10 And from his hand that hated them
he freely did them save:
He from the enemies hand likewise
to them redemption gave.

verse 11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes;
of them was left not one▪


verse 12 They did believe his word, they sang
his praises thereupon.

(3)

verse 13 They soon forgat his works, nor wou

they for his counsel stay.

verse 14 But much in wilderness did lust,
i' th' desart God try'd they.

verse 15 And he their suit them gave, but sent

 [...]anness their soul into.

[Page 265] 

verse 16 They envi'd Moses in the camp
Aaron Gods saint also.

verse 17 The opned earth Dathan devour'd,
and hid Abirams troop.

verse 18 And fire was kindled in their rout▪
flame burnt the wicked up.

verse 19 In Horeb made a calf also,
molt Image worship'd they.

verse 20 They chang'd their glory to be like
an ox that eateth hay.

verse 21 They God forgot their Saviour, which
in Egypt did great acts.


verse 22 Works wondrous in the land of Ham,
by th' Red-sea dreadful facts.


verse 23 And said he would them stroy, but that
his chosen Moses then
Stood in the breach 'fore him, to turn
his wrath from wasting them.

(4)

verse 24 Yet they despis'd the pleasant land,
nor did believe his word:

verse 25 But murmur'd in their tents, the voice
they heard not of the Lord.

verse 26 To make them fall i'th' desart then
'gainst them he lift his hand▪

verse 27 'Mongst nations to cast down their seed
and fan them in the land.

[Page 266]

verse 28 And to Baal-Peor they joyn'd themselves
ate offrings of the dead.

verse 29 Their works 
his wrath did thus provoke
the plague amongst them spread.

verse 30 Then Phineas rose and judgment did
and so the plague did stay

verse 31 Which justice to him counted was
to age and age for ay.

(5)


verse 32 At th' waters of contention
they angred him also
So that with Moses for their sake,
it very ill did go.


verse 33 Because his spirit they provok't,
with's lips he spake in haste.


verse 34 The nations, as the Lord them charg'd,
they wholly did not waste.

verse 35 But were amongst the heathen mixt,
and learn'd their works to do.

verse 36 And did their Idols serve, which them
became a snare unto.

verse 37 Yea unto Devils they their sons,
and daughters offered.

verse 38 And guiltless blood; blood of their sons,
and of their daughters shed.

Whom unto Canaans Idols they
gave up in sacrifice:

[Page 267]The land with blood abundantly
polluted was likewise.


verse 39 Thus with the works were they defil'd
which they themselves had done;
And they did go a whoring with
inventions of their own.

(6)


verse 40 Then kindled was against his folk
the anger of the Lord.
So that he the inheritance,
which was his own abhorr'd


verse 41 So g
 [...]ve he them to heathens hand,
their haters their Lords were.


verse 42 Their foes them thrall'd under their hand
made them the yoke to bear.

verse 43 Oft he deliver'd them, but they
provok'd him bitterly
With their own counsels, and waxt low
through their iniquity.


verse 44 Yet he regarded their distress,
when he heard their complaint,


verse 45 And he did to remembrance call
for them his covenant.

And in his many mercies did


verse 46 Repent. And made them be
Pity'd of all that led them forth
into captivity.

[Page 268] 

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

verse 48 The Lord the God of Israel,
from ay to ay blest be;
And let all people say Amen,
O

WIth thanks unto the Lord confess,
because that good is he;
Because his loving kindnesses
last to eternity.


verse 2 So say the Lords redeem'd whom bought
he hath from the enemies hands;


verse 3 And from the east & west hath brought
from south and northern lands.

verse 4 I'th' desart strayd in desart way
no dwelling town they find.


verse 5 The

their souls within them pin'd.


verse 6 Then did they to Jehovah cry
when they were in distress;
Who did them set at liberty,
out of their anguishes.

[Page 269]


verse 7 In such a way as was most right,
he led them forth also;
That to a city which they might
inhabit, they might go.


verse 8 O that men praise Jehovah would
for his great goodness then;
And for his wonders manifold
unto the sons of men.

verse 9 For he the soul that longing lies,

The hungry soul he fills likewise
with good abundantly.

To Prisoner

verse 10 Such as in darkness, and within
the shade of death abide;
They who are sore afflictions in,
and fast in Irons ti'd.


verse 11 Because they in rebellion
against Gods word did rise:
They also of the Highest One
the counsel did despise.

verse 12 Therefore with sore affliction
he did bring down their heart:
Down did they fall, and there was none
could help to them impart.


verse 13 Then did they to Jehovah cry,
when they were in distress;

[Page 270]Who did them set at liberty
out of their anguishes.

verse 14 He did them out of darkness bring
also de

As for the bands, that they were in,
he did them break asunder.


verse 15 O that men praise Jehovah would
for his great goodness then;
And for his wonders manifold
unto the sons of men!

verse 16 For he did into shivers shake
the gates that were of brass:
And he the bar asunder brake
that made of Iron was.

To the sick.

verse 17 Fools do for their iniquities

Who setteth them at liberty,
out of their anguishes.

verse 21 O that men praise Jehovah would

And for his wonders manifold

let them their offrings bring:
While they his works declare likewise

To the Sea-faring

verse 23 Who go to sea in ships, their acts
in waters great who do


verse 24 These do behold Jehovahs facts,
i'th' deep his wonders too.


verse 25 For he commandeth instantly
the stormy wind doth rise
Which lifts the waves thereof on high,
they mount up to the skies.

verse 26 Down to the depths again they strike,
their soul with Ill doth quail.


verse 27 They reel and stagger drunkard-like,
and all their wit doth fail.


verse 28 Then do they to Jehovah cry
when they are in distress;
And he them bringeth speedily
out of their anguishes.

verse 29 He makes the storm a calm, that so,
the waves thereof are still.

[Page 272] 

verse 30 Their rest glads them, he brings them to

To planters

verse 33 He turns streams to a desart land:
to drought the springing well.

verse 34 To barrenness, a fruitful land
for their sin there that dwell.

verse 35 He to a pool turns wilderness,
and dry ground, to a spring.

verse 36 Seats there the hungry, they address
their town of habiting.

verse 37 They vineyards there do plant & dress
they likewise sow their fields:
Which unto them their fruitfulness
with much revenue yields.


verse 38 And in such wise he doth them bless
that they are much encreast;
And to become by wasting less
he suffers not their beast.

[Page 273] 

verse 39 Again, they are diminished,
and also bowed down;
By tyranny impoverished,
and by affliction.


verse 40 On princes put contempt doth he▪
and causeth them to stray:
Where solitary desarts be,
wherein there is no way.

verse 41 Yet he on high affliction fro
the needy makes to rise;
And like a flock of sheep unto

verse 42 The righteous ones behold it shall,
and they shall joyful be;
And bridle up their mouth shall all
that work iniquity.

verse 43 Whoso is wise and will with care
these things observing learn:
Jehovahs mercies what they are,
they clearly shall discern.

Also thy glorious Majesty,

GOd of my praise, hold not thy peace.


verse 2 For they who wicked be,
Their mouth, and mouth of guilefulness
are open'd wide 'gainst me:
'Gainst me they speak with lying tongue


verse 3 And compass me about
With words of hate; and me against
without a cause they fought.

verse 4 They for my love mine enemies are;
but I my pray'r do make.


verse 5 And ill for good rewarded me,
and hate for my loves sake.


verse 6 Appoint a wicked person that
o're him may have command;
And likewise at his right-hand let
the adversary stand.

verse 7 When he is judged, let him then
condemned be therein:
And let the pray'r that he doth make
be turned into sin,


verse 8 Yea, let his days be few, and let
his charge another take


verse 9 His children let be fatherless,
his wife a widow make.

verse 10 His children let be vagabonds,
let them a begging go;
And from their places desolate,
let them seek bread also.

verse 11 Yea, let th' extortioner catch all
that doth to him pertain:
And let the stranger spoil what he
did by his labour gain.


verse 12 Let there not any be to him
that mercy may express;
Nor any one that favour may

verse 13 Let go into perdition
the race that of him came:
In th' after generation

out-blotted never be.

verse 15 Before Jehovah let them be
continually put;
That from out of the earth he may
the mem'ry of them cut.


verse 16 Because that he remembred not
compassion to impart:
But did pursue the needy poor
to slay the broke in heart.

verse 17 As he did cursing love, so let
the same unto him come:
As he did not in blessing joy,
so be it far him from.


verse 18 With cursing like a robe, as he

Into his bowels water like,
like oyl his bones into.

verse 19 Like as a garment let it be

And to a girdle wherewith he
may gird himself alway.


verse 20 Thus let mine adversaries be
rewarded from the Lord.
Thus them reward, against my soul
that speak an evil word.

[Page 278]

verse 21 But thou Jehovah Lord do well
for thy Names sake with me:
Because that good thy mercy is,
O do thou set me free.


verse 22 For poor and needy I, my heart
in me is wounded too.


verse 23 Like falling shade I pass, I'm tost
as locust to and fro.

verse 24 Through fasts my knees are weak: my flesh
its fatness doth forsake.

verse 25 And I am their reproach, they look
at me, their heads they shake.

in mercy save thou me.

Lord, that it's done by thee.

Of thy good ointments, therefore do

I am a comely one,
Though black as Kedars tent, and as

Because that with his beams the Sun

My mothers sons were wroth with me,
they vineyards me assign
To keep: whereas I have not kept
the vineyard that was mine.


verse 7 Tell me thou whom my soul doth love,
where thou thy feed dost take;
And also where at noon time thou

Because O wherefore should I be

That turn aside unto the flocks
of thy companions?

The vines also with tender grape
do give good smell, I say
Arise my love, my comely one,
and do thou come away.


verse 14 My dove i'th' rocky clefts, close sta
 [...]
thy voice O let me hear,

[Page 370]And see thy face: for sweet's thy voice,
thy face is also fair.

verse 15 Take us the foxes, take for us
the little foxes here,
That spoil the vines; because our vines
most tender grapes do bear.


verse 16 My well-beloved one is mine,
and I am also his
Amongst the lilly-flowers also
his pleasant feeding is.

verse 17 Until day-break and shades fly hence
turn my beloved one.
And like a roe or young hart be
the Bether mountains on.

CHAP. III.

MY souls love I by night did seek
as I on bed did lye
Although that I for him did seek
yet find him could not I.


verse 2 Now I'le arise and in the streets,
broad-streets of city round
I will him seek whom my soul loves,
I sought but not him found.

verse 3 As they about the city went
the watch-men found out me:
To whom I said, him whom my soul
doth love▪ O did you see?

[Page] 

verse 4 It was but as a little space,
that I from them had past:
But whom my soul did love, I found,
and then 
I held him fast.

I would not suffer him to go,
till I had brought him in
My mothers house, the chamber where
conceived I had been:


verse 5 O daughters of Jerusalem,
my love wake not, nor raise,
By roes and hinds of field, I you
do charge, until he please.

verse 6 Who's this from desart that ascends
like smoaky pillars tall,
Perfum'd with myrrh and frankincense
'bove merchants powders all?


verse 7 Behold the bed the which is his,
the which is Solomons:
About it threescore valiant men,
of Israels valiant ones.

verse 8 They all of them do handle swords
they expert are in fight:
Each man his sword hath on his thigh
for terrour in the night.


verse 9 King Sol'mon made himself a bed
of wood of Lebanon.


verse 10 It's pillars he of silver made;
gold was its bottom on,

[Page 372]
Of purple was the covering;
the which was spread above,
For daughters of Jerusalem,
the midst was pav'd with love.


verse 11 Ye daughters that in Sion dwell
go forth and do behold
King Solomon adorned with
his diadem of gold.

Wherewith on his espousals day
his mother hath him crown'd,
And in the day wherein his heart
with gladness did abound.

CHAP. IV.

LO fair thou art, my love, lo fair
doves eyes in thy locks are:
Thy hair as flocks of goats that from
mount Gilead do appear.


verse 2 Thy teeth are as a smooth shorn flock,
which from the washing come,
Where every one of them bears twins,
of them there's barren none.

Thy lips are as a scarlet threed,
and thy speech comely is:
Within thy locks thy temples are
like a pomegranate piece.


verse 4 Thy neck is like to Davids tower
built for an armory▪

[Page 373]Where hang a thousand shields, all shields
of men of p
 [...]tency.

verse 5 Thy breasts they twain compared are
to roes a couple young:
The which are twins and have their feed
the lilly-flowers among.


verse 6 Until the time the day shall break,
and till the shades fly hence.
I'le get me to the mounts of myrrh:
and hill of frankincense.

verse 7 All fair thou art, my lovely one,
there is no spot in thee


verse 8 My spouse with me from Leb'non come,
from Lebanon with me:
Look from the top of Amana;
from Sh
 [...]nirs top also,
From Hermon from the lyons dens,
the leopards mountains fro.

verse 9 My sister spouse thou ravishest
my heart, thou dost affect
My heart with that one eye of thine,
with one chain of thy neck.


verse 10 How fair's thy love, my sister spouse▪
how better far thy love▪
Than wine and thine anointments smell
all spices far above.

verse 11 My spouse thy lips drop hony-comb,
both honey and milk are on

[Page 374]Thy tongue, & thy cloaths smell is like
the smell of Lebanon,


verse 12 My sister, my espoused one
a garden closely shut:
A well-spring closed up she is,
a fountain sealed up.

verse 13 Thy cyons, of pomegranates are
like to a paradise,
With pleasant fruits replenished,
camphire, spikenard likewise


verse 14 Spikenard and saffron, calamus,
and cinamon likewise,
All incense trees, myrrh, aloes,
with all chief kinds of spice.

verse 15 The gardens fount, 'live water spring
and streams from Lebanon.


verse 16 Wake, O north-wind, & come thou south
my garden blow upon
Its spices that they may flow out:
his garden come into
Let my beloved one, and eat
his pleasant fruit also.

CHAP. V.

I Am into my garden come,
my sister spouse likewise.
And I my myrrh have gathered up
together with my spi
 [...]e.

[Page 375]My honey-comb with honey ate,
my wine and milk drunk I,
Eat O ye friends, drink, O belov'd,
yea, drink abundantly.

verse 2 
I sleep, but yet my heart doth wake,
the voice 'tis of my love;
That knocketh, Open unto me,
O sister mine, my dove,
My love, my undefiled one,
because my head is fill'd
With dew, my locks eke with the drops
that have by night distill'd.

verse 3 
I have put off my coat, how shall

I put it on again?
And 
I have washed clean my feet,
how shall 
I them distain?


verse 4 My well-beloved put his hand
in by the hole o'th' door;
My bowels made a troubled noise
in me for him therefore.

verse 5 I rose to open to my love,
and my hands myrrh did drop,
My fingers eke sweet myrrh upon
the handles of the lock:


verse 6 When 
I the door had opened
to my beloved one,
Then had my love withdrawn himself,
and he away was gone.

[Page 376]
When as he spake, my soul did fail:
although I sought him have,
I found him not; I call'd him, yet
he me no answer gave.


verse 7 The watchmen that the city round
me found, smite wound did they:
The keepers of the walls from me
did take my veil away.

verse 8 O daughters of Jerusalem
I charge you to him say,
If my belov'd ye find, that I
for love do faint away.


verse 9 What's thy love more than others love
fairest of women kind?
What's thy love more than others love,
that us thou dost so bind.

verse 10 My love is white and ruddy, chief
among ten thousands he.

verse 11 His head is gold most fine, his locks
curl'd black as ravens be.

verse 12 His eyes as doves by waters-streams,
with milk washt, set full meet.

verse 13 His cheeks are as a bed of spice,
as flowers of odours sweet.

His lilly lips drop flowing myrrh


verse 14 His hands gold-rings bedight
With beryl: laid with saphires is
his belly Ivory bright.

[Page 377] 

verse 15 His legs as marble pillars set
on sockets of fine gold:
His look as Lebanon, as choice
as cedars to behold.

verse 16 Most sweet his palate, lovely he
even altogether is:
O daughters of Jerusalem,
my Love and Friend is this.

CHAP. VI.

FAirest of wom
 [...]n, whither is
thy loved gone away?
Where is thy love by-turn'd, that so
seek him with thee we may?


verse 2 My love to's garden down is gone,
into the beds of spice,
To feed in gardens, and to get
the lilly-flowers likewise.

verse 3 I am for my beloved one,
and my belov'd for me:
And feed among the lilly-flowers
continually doth he.


verse 4 Thou art my love, as Tirza neat,
fair as Jerusalem;
Yea, terrible as is an host
that doth with banners stream.

verse 5 Turn thou from me thine eyes, because
they have me overcome:

[Page 378]Thine hair is as a flock of goats
which look from Gilead down.


verse 6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep
up from the washing gone,
Whereof each one bears twins, of them
there's not a barren one

verse 7 And in such wise within thy locks
thy temples placed are:
That to a peice of pomegranate
the same I may compare.


verse 8 Of Queens threescore, & fourscore is
of Concubines, the count,
There are so many virgins as
all number do surmount.

verse 9 My Dove, my undefil'd, she's One▪
her mothers One is she,
Even of her that did her bear
the very choice is she:
The daughters when they her beheld,
they did her blessed call:
Y
 [...]a, both the Queens and Concubines
they praised her withal.

verse 10 Who's she that looks as morning forth
fair as the moon so bright,
Clear as the sun, and terrible
as hosts with banners dight.


verse 11 To th' garden of the nuts I went
down valley fruits to see.

[Page 379]To see if vines did bud, if bloom
did the pomegranate tree.

verse 12 My soul had placed me before
I ever was aware,
Upon the chariots of them that
my willing people are.


verse 13 Turn, turn, O Shulamite, turn, turn,
that 
 [...] may look on thee:
What will you see i'th' Shulamite?
as two camps company.

CHAP. VII.

HOw beautiful thy feet with shoes
O princes daughter stand!
Thy thighs, their joynts lik
 [...] jewels are
work of a skilful hand.


verse 2 Thy navel which no liquor wants,
is like a goblet round.
Thy belly like an heap of wheat
about with lillies crown'd.

verse 3 Thy two breasts are like as two Roes,
that young and twinlins be,


verse 4 Thy neck is also like unto
a tower of ivory.
Thine eyes like Heshbons fish-pools are,
Bath rabbims entrance by:
Thy nose as tow'r of Lebanon
that doth Damascus eye.

[Page 380]


verse 5 Thine head on thee like 
 [...]armel is
hair of thy head lik
 [...]wise
Like purple is; the King is held
wi

 [...] the 
 [...]


verse 6 How 
 [...] and d
 [...]licate art thou,
O 
 [...] pleasancy?


verse 7 This 
 [...] mine is like the palm,
thy breasts 
 [...] clusters be.

verse 8 
 [...] said, I will the palm asc

the boughs thereof I held:
Like to vin
 [...]-clusters are th
 [...] breasts,
thine nose a
 [...] appl

 [...]mell'd.


verse 9 And as best wine thy pala
 [...]e is,
that to my love runs sweet,
Causing the lips to utter speech
of those that are asleep.

verse 10 I am my loves, and his desire
is placed me upon.


verse 11 Come my beloved, let us forth
unto the field be gone:
Let's lodge within the villages▪


verse 12 Let us get up b

Unto th
 [...] vineyards, let us see
if flourish 
 [...] vine:

If that the ten
 [...]er grape appear,
the pome

 [...]es also,
If that they bud, and there my loves
I will on thee bestow.

[Page 381] 

verse 13 The mandrakes give a smell, and at
our gates all sweet fruits be;
Both new and old, O my belov'd,
which I have stor'd for thee.

CHAP. VIII.

O That thou as my brother wert,
that suckt my mothers breast,

I would thee find without, and kiss,
yet none▪ should me infest.


verse 2 I to my mothers house would lead,
and bring-thee, who taught me;
Spic'd wine of my pomegranate juice
to drink I would cause thee.

verse 3 His left hand underneath my head,
and right should me embrace.


verse 4 O daughters of Jerusalem,
I charge you till he please
Not to stir up, nor to awake
my well-beloved one.


verse 5 But who is this leans on her love
that doth from desart come?

There where thy mother thee conceiv'd
under the apple tree:
Where she thee bare
 [...] that brought thee forth
I there up-raised thee.


verse 6 Me as a seal set on thy heart,
as on thine arm a seal:

[Page 382]For love is strong as death, and fierce
as hell, is jealous zeal.

The coals thereof are coals of fire,
most ardent is its flame.


verse 7 Much waters cannot quench this love,
nor can floods drown the same:
If all the substance of his house
a man would give for love,
It ne'retheless would utterly
a price contemned prove.

verse 8 A little sister 'tis we have,
but yet no breasts hath she:
What shall we for our sister do,
when she bespoke shall be?


verse 9 A silver tow'r we'l on her build,
if that a wall she be,
And if a door, then her enclose
with cedar-boards will we.

verse 10 I am a wall, like unto tow'rs
my breasts they are likewise:
Like unto one that favour found
then was 
I in his eyes.


verse 11 At Ba-al-hammon Solomon,
a vineyard had, and he
The vineyard hired out to them
that should its keepers be:

Each one a thousand silverlings
was for its fruit to pay.

[Page 383] 

verse 12 The vineyard that is mine, before
my presence is alway:
Thy part O Solom
 [...] 
 [...]
a thousand doth 
 [...]
Those that do

 [...]hereof,
two hundred

verse 13 O thou that in 
 [...] dwell'st,
they that companions are,
Unto thy voice attending be:
cause thou me it to hear.


verse 14 Make haste, and be thou like a roe
my well-beloved one:
Or be thou like a fawn of harts
the mounts of spices on.

The SONGS in the Prophet Isaiah. CHAP. V.

NOw I to my beloved will
A song of my loves vineyard sing,
He hath a vineyard on a hill,
Which in the horn of store doth spring,


verse 2 He fenc'd it, and its stones out threw,
And planted it with choicest vine,
Amidst it built a tow'r also
And therein made a press for wine.

He looked grapes it should yield then,
But sowre wild grapes it forth did bring▪

[Page 384] 

verse 3 Now dwellers in Jerusalem,
And men of Judah, judge this thing
Between my vineyard now and me▪


verse 4 
 [...] I have done more?
Yet when I lookt its grapes to see,
Why brought it forth wild grapes therefore?

verse 5 And now I'le tell you▪ what I'le do,
My vineyards hedge remove will I,
To be devour'd, and I'le down throw
Its wall: and it trod down shall lye.


verse 6 And it for desolate I'le lay:
Unprun'd, undigg'd, with brambles spread▪
And thorns: and to the clouds I'le say
That they on it no rain shall shed.

verse 7 Because the house of Israel,
The Lord of Hosts his vineyard is▪
The men in Judahs tribe that dwell,
They are that pleasant plant of his:
And he for judgment did expect,
But lo there an oppressing wound;
And that they justice should effect,
But lo an out cry there he found.

ISAIAH. XII. Fi [...]st Meeter. Short.

O Lord, I will thee praise,
though thou wast wroth with me:
Thine anger 
 [...]urned is away,
and thou dost comfort me.

[Page 385] 

verse 2 Lo God my safety is,
trust, and not fear will I.
Because the Lord Jehovah is
my strength and melody.

Yea he my safety is▪


verse 3 With joy shall ye therefore
Out of the wells of saving health
draw waters forth in store.


verse 4 Ye in that day shall say,
praise God, his Name proclaim,
Shew to the folk his deeds, declare
that lofty is his Name:

verse 5 Sing ye unto the Lord
because that he hath done
The things that are most excellent,
in all the earth its known.


verse 6 Cry out, and shout thou loud,
that dwell'st mount Sion on;
For mighty in the midst of thee
is Israels holy One.

ISAIAH. XII. Second Meeter. Ʋsual.

JEhovah I will give thee praise,
though thou wast wroth with me.
Thine anger turned is away,
and thou dost comfort me.


verse 2 Lo, God is my salvation,
trust, and nought fear will I:

[Page 386]Because the Lord Jehovah is
my strength and melody,

And he is my salvation.


verse 3 With joy shall ye therefore,
Out of the wells of saving health,
draw waters forth in store.

(2)


verse 4 Praise ye the Lord call on his Name,
amongst the people show
His doings, that his Name's extoll'd
declare abroad also.


verse 5 Sing ye unto the Lord for he
things excellent hath done:
Yea, throughout all the earth abroad
the same is fully known.

verse 6 Cry out
 [...]; and shout aloud, thou that
mount Sion dwell'st upon,
For mighty in the midst of thee
is Israels holy One

ISAIAH. XXV.

LOrd, thou 'rt my God I'le thee exalt
I will thy Name confess:
Who wonders dost, thy counsels old
are truth and faithfulness.


verse 2 For thou a city mad'st an heap,
wall'd towns to waste to 
 [...]all;
The stranger never of the town
rebuild a palace shall.

[Page 387]


verse 3 And for this cause thee glorifie
the mighty people shall:
The city of dread nations
shall reverence thee withal:


verse 4 For thou hast been unto the poo
 [...]
his strong munition:
In his distress thou art the strength
unto the needy one.

Thou art a refuge from the storm
a shadow from the heat:
When blasts of dreadful ones as storms
against the wall do beat.


verse 5 Thou shalt bring down the strangers noise
as heat in places dry;
As heat by clouds shade ceast, the branch
of dead ones low shall lye.

(2)


verse 6 The Lord of Hosts moreover shall
upon this mountain make
A sumptuous feast of fat things for
all people to partake:
A feast of wines upon the lees
for them he shall prepare,
Of fat and marrowy things, of wine
 [...]
on lees refin'd that are.

verse 7 And in this mountain he destroy
the face of covering shall

[Page 388]Cast o're all people, and the vail
spread over nations all.


verse 8 For ever he will swallow up
death into victory:
The Lord God from all faees shall
wipe tears off utterly.

From all the earth his folks rebuke
he shall take clean away.


verse 9 Lo, this our God who will us save,
for him we waiting stay:
This is the Lord on whom we had
our expectation;
We will rejoyce, and will be glad
in his salvation.

CHAP. XXVI.

WE have a City very strong,
God will appoint salvation,
Her walls and bulwarks for to be,


verse 2 Set open ye the gates, that so
The righteous nation in may go,
that doth observe the verity.


verse 3 In perfect peace keep him thou wilt
Whose thoughtful mind on thee is built,
Because he doth on thee rely.


verse 4 Trust in the Lord for evermore.
For in the Lord Jehovah store
of strength is to eternity.

[Page 389]


verse 5 For he brings down who dwell on high
 [...]
The lofty city low makes lye:
He lays it low ev'n to the floor
Ev'n to the dust he hath it thrown.


verse 6 The poor mans feet shall tread it down,
The feet and steps of th' needy poor,


verse 7 Uprightness is the just mans way,
Thou most upright his path dost weigh.


verse 8 Yea in thy judgments way O Lord,
We waited have for thee, the same
Our souls desire is to thy Name,
And thee in mind still to record.

verse 9 My soul hath thee desir'd by night;
Yea, I within me with my spright;
in early seeking thee do yern:
For when on earth thy judgments be,
The dwellers in the world shall see,
That so they righteousness may learn,


verse 10 Let to the wicked grace be shown,
Yet righteousness learn will he none.
But in the land of uprightness
He will both deal unrighteously
And he Jehovahs Majesty
Will not behold him to redress.

(2)


verse 11 Jehovah when thy hand on high
Is lifted up they will not see:

[Page 390]But see and be asham'd shall they
For envy at thy folk like wise,
The fire of thy strait enemies
Shall them devour, ev'n quite away.


verse 12 Lord, peace for us ordain wilt thou
For in us thou hast wrought also
Ev'n all our works, our God, O Lord,


verse 13 Other Lords had dominion
O're us besides thee, but alone
By thee we will thy Name record.

verse 14 They dead are, they shall live no more
They are deceased, they therefore
Shall not arise, because thou hast
Them visited, and hast them all
D
 [...]stroy'd and their memorial
Thou quite hast made away to waste


verse 15 Jehovah thou the nation
Increased hast; the nation
Thou hast increas'd abundantly
Therefore thou glorified ar
 [...],
Thou hast remov'd it far apart,
Where all the ends of th' earth do lye.

verse 16 They visit thee, Lord in the hour
Of trouble, out their pray'r do pour
On them when thy chastisements light


verse 17 As she that is to travel nigh
I
 [...] pain'd, and out in pangs doth cry:

[Page 391]So have we been Lord in thy sight,


verse 18 We have conceiv'd, been pain'd forth brought
As 'twere the wind, no health we wrought
In th' earth, nor have the worldlings slew.


verse 19 Thy dead, my corps shall live, and rise,
Who dwell i' th' dust, wake, sing likewise,
For as the dew of herbs thy dew.

Th' earth shall her dead cast out also


verse 20 My folk come, to thy chambers go,
And shut thy doors about thee fast:
Hide thou thy self now as it were,
But for a little moment there,
Until the wrath be over past.


verse 21 For lo the Lord from's place doth come
To execute on them the doom
that do upon the earth remain
Because of their iniquity:
Th' earth also shall her blood descry,
and cover shall no more her slain.

ISAIAH. XXXVIII. The Song of Hezekiah, after his recovery from sickness.

verse 10 I Said in cutting off my days,
Go to the gates of grave shall I
And of the remnant of my years
I am deprived utterly.

[Page 392] 

verse 11 I said, the Lord I shall not see

 [...] th' land of living ones the Lord:
And man no more behold shall I
With them that dwell within the world.

verse 12 Mine age away from me is put,
And moved as a shepherds tent:
I weaver like my life off cut,
With pining sickness he me spent
Yea from the day the night until
Thou quite an end of me wilt make.


verse 13 I count from morning, that he will
My bones all as a lion break:

From day to night thou wilt me waste.


verse 14 Like crane or swallow chatter I,
Dove-like I mourn, mine eyes up cast
Do fail, Lord, help, opprest am 
I.


verse 15 What shall I say? to me he hath
Both spoke
 [...], and himself done this:
I all my life with softly path,
Shall walk in my souls bitterness.

verse 16 Lord, by these things men live, & thou
By these my spirits life dost give:
Thou wilt recover me also,
And thou wilt make me for to live.


verse 17 Lo, I for peace sharp grief did find,
But 
 [...] my soul in love thou hast
From pits corruption: for behind
Thy back thou all my sins didst cast.

[Page 393]


verse 18 For graves thy praise cannot make 
known
Nor yet can death thee celebrate;
Such as into the pit go down,
They for thy truth no more can wait.


verse 19 The living he, the living will
Thee praise, as I this day have done▪
The father to the children still,
He shall thy faithfulness make known.

verse 20 Jehovah me to save was bent;
Therefore we in the Lords house praise
Will sing on stringed instrument
Throughout our life, even all the days.

The Lamentations of JEREMIAH. CHAP. III.

I Am the man by's wrathful rod
who have of grief the

verse 2 To darkness he me led, and brought,
and not into the light▪


verse 3 He's surely turn'd 'gainst me, all day
his hand he turns in wrath


verse 4 My fl

 [...] 
 [...]
my bones he broken 
 [...]

verse 5 He 'gainst me built, and 
 [...]
and travel did infold


verse 6 He ha

as who are

[Page 394] 
 [...] me hedg'd in. I can't get out,
his heavy chain I bear.


verse 8 Also when as I cry, and shout,
he shutteth out my pray'r.

verse 9 He with hew'd stone inclos'd my path,
he crooked made my ways.


verse 10 He as a Bear lays wait for me,
as Lions in hid place.


verse 11 He turned hath my ways aside,
and he hath pulled me
As into pieces: he hath made
me desolate to be.

verse 12 He bent his bow, me as a mark
did for the arrow place.


verse 13 His quivers arrows he hath caus'd
into my reins to pass.


verse 14 To all my fo
 [...]k I was a scorn,
and all the day their song.


verse 15 He made me full of bitterness,
and drunk with wormwood strong.

verse 16 And 
 [...]e my teeth with gravel brake,
in ashes rolled me.


verse 17 And far thou putt'st my soul from peace
gone is prosperity.


verse 18 Yea, I did say, My strength and hope
is perisht from the Lord.


verse 19 My grief and pain, wormwood & gall,
when I in mind record.

[Page 395]


verse 20 My soul doth them remember still,
and in me's humbled sore.


verse 21 This to my heart I do recal,
and hope I have therefore.


verse 22 It's of the mercy of the Lord
we're not consum'd away;
Because that his compassions
they never do decay.

verse 23 They every morning are renew'd,
his faithfulness is great.

verse 24 The Lord's my portion, saith my soul,
thence hope on him I'le set.

verse 25 To them that wait for him, to th' soul
that seeks him, good's the Lord.

verse 26 It's good to hope, and still to wait,
for safety from the Lord.

(2)

verse 27 It is good for a man in's youth
that he hath born the yoke.

verse 28 He sits alone, and silence keeps,
because it was his stroke.

verse 29 He puts his mouth into the dust,
if so there hope may be.

verse 30 His cheek to him that smites he gives
fill'd with reproach is he.

verse 31 For aye the Lord will not cast off,
but though grief cause he should.

[Page 396] 

verse 32 Yet will he have compassion
in's mercies manifold.


verse 33 For he afflicts not willingly,
nor grieves the sons of men.


verse 34 To crush in pieces under's feet
earths prisoners all of them.

verse 35 To turn aside the right of man
before the high'st his face.


verse 36 The Lord approves not to subvert▪
a man in his just case.


verse 37 Who's he that saith, and done it is,
u
 [...]less the Lord it will?


verse 38 
 [...]ut of the mouth of the most High,
proceeds not good and ill.

verse 39 Why doth a living man complain?
a man for his sins pain?

verse 40 Let's search and try our ways, & turn
unto the Lord again.

verse 41 Let us lift up our heart and hands
to God on high in heaven.

verse 42 We trespass'd have, and have rebell'd,
and thou hast not forgiven.

(3)

verse 43 Thou hid'st with wrath▪ & us pursu'st,
thou slayd'st, and dost not rue.

verse 44 Thou so with clouds dost hide thy self,
our prayer cannot pass through.

[Page 397] 

verse 45 Amidst the people us thou mad'st
the refuse scum likewise.

verse 46 Against us opened have their mouths
all of our enemies.

verse 47 Fear and a snare is come on us,
waste and destruction.

verse 48 For my folks daughters waste, mine eyes

Out of hells belly did I cry,
and he my voice did hear;


verse 3 Into the deep and midst of Seas,
because thou didst me cast:
The floods me compass'd, all thy waves

verse 3 God forth from T

The holy one from Par
 [...] hill: Selah,
The skies his glory over-spread,
And all the earth his praise did fill.

[Page 402]


verse 4 His brightness did as light appear,
Horns from his hand proceeded thence
The hiding of his strength was there.


verse 5 Before him went the Pestilence,
And from his feet coals burning went.


verse 6 He stood and th' earth he measured.
He looked and the nations rent,
Ay lasting hills were scattered.

The hills of perpetuity
Did bow, his ways for ever stand.


verse 7 In anguish Cushans tents saw 
I,
The curtains shook of Midians land.


verse 8 What did the floods the Lord displease?

As thou to 
 [...] tribes didst say and swear,
The earth with rivers cleave didst thou.


verse 10 Thee saw, & shook the mountains steep
The floods of waters passed by:
His voice forth utter did the deep
And lifted up his hands on high.

verse 11 The Sun and Moon that are so bright,
Stood still within their dwelling sphere;
They moved at thine arrows light▪
At th' shining of thy glittering spear.

[Page 403] 

verse 12 Thou 
didst march thro' 
the land in wrath
The heathen thou didst thresh in rage.


verse 13 Thou forth also didst make thy path,
For safety of thy heritage.

For safety with thine ointed one:
Thou from the wickeds house the head
* Didst wound: to the foundation
Was to the neck discovered.


verse 14 Thou of his villages the head
Didst with his staves strike thro' the same,
That me they might have scattered,
Like as a whirlwind out they came.

'Twas their rejoycing to devour
The poor afflicted secretly.


verse 15 Thou with thine horses went'st in power
Through seas, and heaps of waters high.


verse 16 I heard, my belly trembled then,
And at thy voice my lips did quake:
A rottenness my bones came in,
And I within my self did shake.

That in the day of trouble so
I might in quietness sit still.
When he ascends the people to,
Them with his troops invade he will.


verse 17 Though fig-tree blossom not at all,
Nor any fruit in vines appear,
The labour of the olive fail,
And though the fields no meat should bear:

[Page 404]
Though flocks shall be cut off from fold,
In stall no h

verse 18 Yet in the Lord rejoyce I would,
I'le joy in my salvations God:
The Lord God is my strength, and he
Doth make my feet like hinds also,
And he it is that causeth me
Upon my places high to go.

In the devices of their heart
which they imagined.

And of it take possession.

[Page 2]


verse 3 In perfect peace thou wilt him keep
whose thoughtful mind is on thee stay'd,
And that because his confidence
On thee alone is ever lay'd.


verse 4 Put then your trust upon the Lord
Throughout eternal ages length:
Because the Lord Jehovah is
A Rock of everlasting strength▪

verse 5 For he brought down high seated ones,
The haughty city he laid low,
He laid it level with the ground,
And it into the dust did throw.


verse 6 The feet of the afflicted man
Triumphing trampled i
 [...] upon,
And it ly'th prostrate under foot,
Foot of the poor and needy one.

verse 7 Uprightness is the Kings high way,
The very road the just did take:
The path way of the righteous man
Thou didst for him most even make.


verse 8 Moreover in thy judgments way
Thee, Lord, we longing look't to see;
Our souls desire was to thy name,
And to the memory of thee.

verse 9 In evening and in morning pray
 [...]
My soul thee earnestly desir'd;
Yea with my spirit in midst of me

 [...] day and night for thee enquir'd.

[Page]For when thy judgments are display'd

 [...] earth, the worlds inhabitants,
Will lay to heart thy righteous works,
And learn the righteousness of saints.

verse 10 Though for a wicked man there should
Bowels of divine pity yearn,
Yet he the way of righteousness
By no means will be brought to learn▪
In land of righteousness he will
Still work perverse iniquity,
He will not well consider of
Jehovah's glorious majesty.

verse 11 Lord, when thine hand was l
 [...]ted 
 [...]
In exaltation very high,
Lest they should see thine hand, they did
Perversely turn away their eye.
But they with blushing shame, shall see
The zeal thou for thy people hast,
And the consuming fire that shall
Thine adversaries wholly wast.

verse 12 Jehovah, thou for ever wilt
Safety and peace for us ordain:
For our affairs thou manage didst
And for us all our works maintain.


verse 13 O Lord our God, thou only art
Our Lord, yet others besides thee
Have lorded it, and over us
Have exercised tyranny▪

[Page]
But notwithstanding hence forth we
No other lord, save thee will take,
And of no other name but thine
From this time will we mention make.


verse 14 Those that opprest us now are dead,
So dead that they shall live no more,
Their ghosts from hence departed are,
And none shall them to life restore.

Because thou hast them visited,
And them hast utterly destroy'd,
For ever they are perished
And of all memory made void.


verse 15 Jehovah, thou the nation
Hast very much increast, increast
Hast thou the nation very much,
Thy glory is made manifest;

That nation which thou hadst remov'd,
And far away didst send it forth
By dissipating it unto
The utmost ends of all the earth.


verse 16 O Lord, when they were in distress
They did thee visit with their cryes,
And secret prayer they poured out,
When as thou diddest them chastize.

verse 17 Like as a pregnant woman when
Approaching child-birth comes apace
Is pain'd, and in her pangs cry's out,
So were we Lord before thy face.

[Page 5] 

verse 18 We have conceiv'd & have been pain'd,
We have as it were brought forth wind,
The worlds inhabitants fell not,
On earth no safety we could find.

verse 19 Thy dead shall surely live again,
With my dead corps arise they must;
Awake out of the sleep of death
And sing ye who dwell in the dust:
Because the dew that falls on thee
Is like the dew that makes herbs grow
And down from hence with violence
The earth the Rephaims shall throw.

verse 20 Come then, my people, enter in
To chambers that most secret are,
And after thee, shut thou the doors
And fasten them with utmost care:
There do thou hide thy self a while▪
It will but as a moment be,
And all the indignation will
Be wholly passed over thee.

verse 21 Behold the Lord is coming forth▪
Out of his habitation
To punish their iniquity
The earths inhabitants upon.
The' earth shall then disclose and sho
 [...]
The bloods in her lay buryed,
Her slain shall be expos'd to veiw▪
And be no longer covered▪

ISAIAH XXVI. Second Meeter. Ʋsual.

WE have a City very strong;
(
The Church of God is it.)
Salvation to it all along
For Walls and Works He'l set.

verse 2 Set open ye the Gates, and then
The Righteous Nation, who
Do constantly the Truth maintain,
Shall enter thereinto.

verse 3 In peace thou such an one, In peace,
Wilt ever have to be,
Whose mind on Thee sincerely stayes,
Because he hopes in Thee.

verse 4 Repose on the Eternal now
The Hope of all your mind;
For in the Lord Jehovah you
A Rock Eternal find.

verse 5 He brings down Them, who dwell on High,
Layes the proud City low,
Twice Low, till even with Earth it ly;
To Dust that City throw▪

[Page 7]

verse 6 It shall be Trodden down; It shall

By Feet be Trodden down;

Th [...] Feet of men thought Poor & Small;

Trod by the Needy one.

verse 7 Sure of the Righteous one the way
Is very Righteousness;
And thou, O Righteous One, dost weigh
Rightly each path of His.

verse 8 In the way of thy Judgments we,
On Th
 [...]e Do wait, and Will:
With Souls thy Name desiring, Thee,
Lord, to Remember still.

verse 9 By Night I 'have Thee desir'd, O God;
My Soul seeks Early Thee:
Thy Judgments b'eing on Earth abroad,
Men Justice then will see.

verse 10 Shall Favour on the Wicked Shine?
Justice he will not Learn:
He'l in Land of Correction Sin,
Gods Glory not Discern.

verse 11 Lord, Thy Uplifted Hand these Men
Won't see, but see they shall,
With Shame their Spite at Thine; & then
Thy Foes, Fire burns them all.

[Page 8]

verse 12 A well-Establish'd Peace, O Lord,

Thou dost for us prepare;

All our Works for us, we're assur'd,

By Thee produced are.

verse 13 O Lord our God, Strange Lords on us
Have had Dominion:
But now thy Name we'l mention thus,
Thy Name by Thee alone.

verse 14 They're Gone, & shall not Rise; They're Dead,
To Life Returning not:
God's Visit them destroy'd, and made
Their Memory to Rott.

verse 15 The Nation, Lord, Increasing, Thou
Our Nation dost Increase;
So Thou art Prais'd; And It unto
All parts Extended is.

verse 16 Lord, Thee they humbly Visited
In an Afflicted Hour;
Chast'ned, an Humble Prayer they did
To thee in Secret pour.

verse 17 As she that is to Travail near
In Pains and Pangs doth Cry;
In such a State, O Lord, we were;
God Saw it, God on High,

[Page 9]

verse 18 We have Conceiv'd, & come to Throws,

There's nothing in the Birth;

On Earth no Health is wrought; & those

Fall not, who Fill the Earth.

verse 19 Yet thy Dead men must Live & Rise;
So my Dead Body must.
Wake now and Sing, whoever is
Mine, Sleeping in the Dust.

A Dew from Heaven does on thee Come,
Of Springing Plants a Dew:
The Earth which did the Dead Entomb,
Shall yield Dead not a few.

verse 20 Come now into thy Chambers; Shu
 [...]
Thy Doors about thee fast:
Hide there a while, my People: But
A while, till wrath be past.

verse 21 Lo, From His place God comes again,
The World for Sin to Smi
 [...]e;
Earth will her Bloods Reveal; Her slain
Earth will bring all to Light.
