To the Godly Reader.

W E know that these Psalms, and Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, though 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, having 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.

 [...]-sea froze.

My hand shall them again possess, or

They in the mighty waters sunk as if they had been lead. (2)

In holiness, fearful in praise, in doings marvellous.

A crooked generation they and froward do remain.

verse 6 O foolish people and unwise, the Lord thus pay do ye;

 [...]e age mark well;
Thy father ask, and he'l 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
According to the number of the sons of Israel.


verse 9 Because Jehovahs portion his chosen people be,
The Lot of his Inheritance Jacobs Posterity.

verse 10 He found him in a Desart Land, and i'th' vast de
 [...]erts cry;
He Le
 [...] him round; him taught, him kept, as th' apple of his 
 [...].


verse 11 As th' 
 [...] 
 [...]irreth up her nest, and flutters o're her Young,
Spreads out her wings, and takes them up 
 [...]ears them

A fo
 [...]reign God also with him, there was not any one.

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 oil to take.

verse 14 On butter thou of kine, and on the milk of sheep didst feed;
With fat of lambs, and goats, and rams, that were of Ba
 [...]ans breed.
Together with the fatness of the wheaten kidnies fine;
Thou of the grapes didst also drink the blood, refined wine. 2


verse 15 But Jes
 [...]r
 [...]n 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 
 [...] magnifi'd,
The Rock of his salvation: he also villifi'd.

verse 16 They with strange gods his jealousie did kindle as a fire,
And with abominations they did provoke his 
 [...].

[Page 11] 17 They did to devils, not to God, their sacrifices there;
To gods unknown, n
 [...]w-upstarts, 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 19 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'l hide my face from them what is their end I'le 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, with idols vanity.
With what's no people I'le provoke, them unto jealousie;
Them with a foolish nation to anger move will I.

(3)

verse 22 For fire enkindled in my wrath, shall b
 [...]rn 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, with heat devour'd, with bitter plagues them end.

[Page 12]

verse 24 The teeth of cruel beasts 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'le 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, wrought all this change.

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

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 shall be heard.


verse 32 For their vine is of Sodoms vine, and 
 [...] field;

[Page 13] 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 be
 [...]ide.


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,

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 hiding 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:
For I to heaven lift mine hand, and say I live for aye,

[Page 14] 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 & flesh my 
 [...] shall eat:
For blood of slain, and of them that are in captivity.
More than from first revengers 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.
And to his adversaries he, will render vengeance due,
And he will mercy to his land, and to his people shew.

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 walk the waie beside


verse 11 Who from the archers noise 
were freed there shall they now record,

[Page 16] In places where they waters draw, the just acts of the Lord.

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,

[Page 17] Full many great impressions of heart amongst us were.

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 staid; but why did Dan in's ships reside?
On Sea-shore Ashur did remain, and in his creeks abide.

verse 18. Both Zebulun and Napthali a people that did yield,

Their lives in danger unto death upon the open field.

(3)

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 Kishon's brook, that brook them swept away.

O thou my soul hast trod down strength,

By plunging pransings, pransings of their mighty horses there.

Above the women in the Tent a blessed one is she.

verse 25 He water ask'd; she gave him milk, in Lordly dish she fetch'd

verse 26 Him butter forth, unto the nail she forth her left-hand stretch'd.

Her right-hand to the workmans maul, and Sisera hammered:

verse 27 He at her feet bow'd, fell, lay down, he at her feet bow'd, where
He fell: whereas he bowed down he fell destroyed there.

The lattess through, in coming why, so long his chariot staid.
His chariots wheels why tarry they?

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

Before thy house of sanctity,

From their own plots let them fall far:

Rejoice and ever shouting be
For thou defend'st them, yea, let those
That love thy name, be glad in thee

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

LOrd, in thy wrath rebuke me not,
Nor in thy hot wrath chasten me,

How long, Lord, wilt thou me forsake?

O save me 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 wish 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 iniquities.

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 Meter.

JEhovah, O rebuke me not when thou shalt angry be:
And in thine indignation hot, O do not chasten me:

[Page 30] 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! make my bed
Throw all the night my couch likewise with tears I watered.


verse 7 With grievous indignation consumed are mine eies
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 
 [...] of my complaining moan,


verse 9 
My humble suit for grace also, Jehovah doth it hear,
Jehovah will my prayer unto vouchsafe a gracious ear.

[Page 31]

verse 10 Asham'd and vexed vehemently be all mine enemies:

Psal. VII. Shiggaion of David, which he s [...]ng 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 causs
 [...]ss was mine enemy, yea 
I did him release.

verse 5 My soul pursue then let my foe, take it, yea tread to clay
My life, and in the dust also let him my honour lay.

[Page 32] A wake thou up for me likewise, thou Judgment didst command.

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

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


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

verse 14 Behold he shall in travel be, with vain iniquity:

[Page 33] And mischief 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.

His dealing violent shall fall like wise 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.

That thou might'st still thine enemies and self-avenging foe.

verse 3 When as thy heavens I behold, thy 
 [...] works which are:
The 
 [...] together with the stars, the which thou didst prepare:

[Page 34] 4 O what is wretched man that 
 [...] in mind thou shouldst him have?
And what the son of man whom th

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;

Lord, our 
Lord, in all the earth O how thy name excels!

LOrd I'll thee praise with all my heart, thy wonders all proclaim.

verse 2 I will be glad and joy in thee, most high, I'll sing thy name.

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

[Page 35] 4 For thou maintain'st my right & cause in throne sit'st judging right.

verse 5 Thou hast the heathen folk rebuk'd, and wicked ones destroy'd;
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 oppressed ones, Jehovah shall become;
A refuge high he is to them in seasons trouble some.


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

(2)

verse 11 O sing 
 [...]e praises to the Lord, that doth in Sion dwell:

[Page 36] The deeds also that he hath done, among the people tell


verse 12 He to remembrance doth them 
 [...] 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 hate;
Mark mine afflictions that arise, thou lift'st me from deaths gate.


verse 14 That I in Sions daughters gates thy praises all may show:
And that in thy salvation I may rejoice also.

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


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 19 O let not wretched man prevail, but O Jehovah rise;
The heathen people in thy sight let judged be likewise.

WHy stand'st thou Lord far off? why hid'st thy sel
 [...] in times of streight
In pride the wicked persecutes the poor afflicted wight:
Caught be they in their plots forecast.


verse 3 For of his hearts desire
The wicked boasts; and bless he doth the churl, that stirs Gods i
 [...]e.

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 foes puff at them all will he.

verse 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be,

[Page 38] From age to age that am not yet in ill adversity

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

verse 8 In lurking 
 [...]laces of the towns he 
 [...] in secret d

He slays the harmless, 'gainst the poor his eyes down sli
 [...]y bonds


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, & to the du
 [...] he humbly bows withal,
That so a multitude of poor in his strong paws may fall.


verse 11 He 
 [...]aith in

So that he will not see this thing unto eternal aye.

(2)

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


verse 13 O wherefore doth the wicked man contemn th' a
 [...]mighty one.

[Page 39] He in his heart saith, thou wilt not make inquisition.

verse 14 Thou seest, for thou mark'st wrong & spight with thy hand to repay,
The poor leaves it to thee: thou art of fatherless the stay


verse 15 The wickeds arm in pieces break, and of the evil one
Search thou out his impiety, until thou fi

Psal. XI. To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

verse 1 in the Lord do put my trust, how therefore do you say
Unto my soul, like as a bird fly to your hid away?

[Page 40] 2 For 
 [...]o the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on string prepare:
That they may shoot i'th' dark at them in heart that upright are.

verse 3 If that the firm foundations be wholly overthrown;
Yet for the man that righteous is, what is it he hath done?


verse 4 The Lord in's holy Temple is, the Lord's throne's in the 
 [...]kie;
His eies will view, his eie-lids too the sons of men will trie.

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

 [...] ungodly man 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 [...], A Psalm of David.

SAve O Jehovah now because the godl
y one doth cease;

[Page 41] 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.


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

verse 5 Thus 
 [...]aith the Lord, for sighs of the
 [...] 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 safetie from this generation.

[Page 42] When vileness by the sons of men exalted is on high.

Psal. XIII. To the chief Musician A Psalm of David.

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

How long exalted over me shall be my deadly foe?

Consider me, O Lord my God, and answer me likewise,
Lest that I sleep the sleep of dea

 [...]


verse 4 Lest that mine enemie should 
 [...] against him I prevail;
Lest those that trouble me rejoice if being mov'd, I fail.

verse 5 But I have set my confidence thy bounteous grace upon,
My heart shall very much rejoice in thy salvation.
Unto Jehovah songs of praise sing joyfullie will 
I,
Because that he hath dealt with me exceeding bounteously.

 [...]ood there is none.


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

verse 3 They altogether filthy are, 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 eat my folk, as bread they eat, 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 fo [...]ks captivitie

[Page 44] When God shall turn: Jacob shall joy, glad Israel shall be.

Psal. XV. A Psalm of David.

O Lord who in thy tabernacle a sorjourner shall be?
And who is he inhabit shall thy hill of sanctitie?


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 give his coin to usury: nor take a bribe doth he

Against the harmless: thus who doth shall never moved be.

O Mighty God, preserve thou me for upon thee I rest:


verse 2 Thou art my Lord, unto the Lord, my soul thou hast profes
 [...],

[Page 45] My goodness reacheth not to Thee, But to the saints on earth;
And to them that are excellent in whom is all my mirth.

Who to strange gods do hasten gifts, their griefs shall multiplie:
Their blood drink-offerings I'll not pour their names my lips shall flie.
Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance

 [...] is he likewise of my cup thou dost maintain my chance.

verse 6 The lines that fal

Yea, goodly is the heritage that

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,

Thou hast me as in furnace tri'd, and yet shall 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, 
 [...] thy beaten way:

 [...] at any time my 
 [...] go astray.


verse 6 
 [...] thou wilt answer me O God, on thee I call:

[Page 47] 
 [...]line thou unto me thine ear hear thou my speech withal.

(2)

Shew forth thy wondrous grace on them that trust on thee repose:

 [...] thou that sav'st by thy right-hand from self up-lifting foes.
As th' apple of thine eye me keep, in thy wings shade me hide:
From wicked men my deadly foes, who waste me on each side.

 [...] Clos'd in their fat they are, and they boast with their mouth likewise:

 [...] They round us in our steps, on earth they set their bow'd down eyes.

verse 12 He like a renting Lion is, that ready is to tear;

 [...] secret places sits as he a renting lion were.

verse 13 Arise, do thou his face prevent, make him bow down, O Lord:

 [...] 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;

 [...] of this passing world who have within this li

And 
Saviour 
 [...], my God, my strength▪
My sh

My safeties 
 [...], 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 Deaths sorrows me encompassed.
And floods of belial frighted use.


verse 5 Hells pangs me round invironed,
The snares of death prevented me.


verse 6 In my straights on the Lord call'd I
And to my God cry'd; he did hear
My voice from's Temple and my Cry
Before him came into his ear:

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


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


verse 9 Likewise the heavens he down bow'd

 [...] he descended; also there
Was at his 
 [...]et a gloomy cloud.

[Page 49]

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
Dark waters, and thick clouds of skies:

verse 12 From brightness that before him was
His thickned clouds did pass likewise

 [...]lail-stones, and coals of fire did pass.

(2)

verse 13 Jehovah thundered forth also;
Within the heavens in his ire,
The Highest caus'd his voice to go
Hail-stones and burning coals of fire.


verse 14 Yea he his arrows did send out,
And bruising he them scattered:
And lightnings he did hurl about
And them with dread discomfited.

verse 15 The channels where the waters past
Were seen, 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 fet
The waters great he drew me fro:


verse 17 From my strong foes me 
 [...]
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.

[Page 50]
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.

(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 persons merciful that are,
Thou merciful thy self wilt show.

verse 31 
 [...] God the Lord but He?
Or who

verse 32 
 [...] God

[Page 51]


verse 33 He makes my 
 [...] like as the Roe.
And on my high place makes me stand.


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 mine 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 pier
 [...]'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 su

 [...]ed under me
Those that did up against me rise,


verse 40 M
y foes their necks thou gavest me,
That I might wast mine enemies


verse 41 They cry'd; but none to save they 
 [...]od,
To God, but with no answers 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
From people that contentious be:
Thou of the heathen mad'st me head,
The folk I knew not, shall fear me.


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,

[Page 52]

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 say'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.


verse 50 He giveth great salvation
Unto his King; and doth display
His mercy to's anointed one
To David and his seed for aye.

verse 4 The coasts of all the earth throughout their line is gone unto:

verse 2 Thou granted hast to him that which his heart desir'd,

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, 
 [...] naught did them confound.

[Page 58] 6* But I 
 [...] 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 
 [...]ake a mow the head in scorn they shake.


verse 8 Upon the Lord he roll'd himself, let him now rid him quite:
Let him deliver him because in him he doth delight!

verse 9 But thou are he that me out of the belly didst forth take:
When I was or 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.

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 
 [...].

[Page 59]

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.

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' assembly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through my hands and eke 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 lots for my coat they threw. (part;

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

For thou from horns of V

verse 23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise all Jacob's seed do 
 [...]e
Him glorifie; and dread him all ye Israels feed 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 cries.

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 cat, & worship shall all who to dust descend.

[Page 61] (Who cannot keep alive his soul) before his face shall bend.

Within his place of sanctity, who shall there stand also?

From God of his salvation he his righteousness shall have.

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

To pardon mine iniquity, for it is very great.

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,
And of his cov'nant he to those will give intelligence.

verse 15 Mine ei

verse 3 Because 
 [...] grace is 'fore mine ei

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

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 and all thy wonders sound.

Psal. XXVII. A Psalm of David.

THe

 [...] what shall make me dismaid▪
The Lord is of my life the strength, who shall make me afraid?


verse 2 When wicked men mine enemies and foes in battel come
Against me to eat up my

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

[Page 67] 
 [...] against me should arise, I am secure in this.
One thing I asked of the Lord, which still I will request,

 [...] I of all my life the daies

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


verse 5 For in his tent in th' evil da

He will me hide in secrecy of his pavillion;
And will me highly life 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'le sacrifice of joy an offering;
Unto Jehovah sing will I, yea, I will praises sing.

verse 7 When as I with my voice do 
 [...]rie, 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,

[Page 68] 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 he
 [...]per 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,
For witness false against me stand, and breathe out cruelties:


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

Do thou upon Jehovah wait, thy self there strengthning stay:

And so thy heart he strengthen shall: wait on the Lord I say.

JEhovah unto thee I cry,
My rock be 
 [...] not deaf from me:
Le

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;

[Page 69] When I lift up my hands unto
Thine Oracle of Sancti
 [...]ie.

With ill men draw me not away,

 [...] workers of unrighteousness:
That peace unto their neighbours say,

 [...] in their hearts is wickedness.
Give thou to them like to their works
And like th
 [...] evil of their deeds;
Give them like to their handy-works
And render unto them their 
 [...]eeds.

Because unto Jehovahs work

 [...] did not wise attention yield
Neither unto his handy-work,
He will them wast, and not up-build.


verse 5 The Lord he 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.

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.
Salvation on thy folk bestow,
And bless thou thine inheritance, into eternity also

 [...]o thou them feed and them advance.

This in any common Tunes.

Save Lord thy people, bless also thou thine inheritance.

[Page 70] And ev'n eternity unto them feed and them advance.

Psal XXX. A Psalm; a Song of the Dedication of the [...] 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.
Lord my God to thee cry'd have, 
 [...] thou hast made me whole.
Jehovah thou out of the grave hath raised up my soul:

From pits descent thou quicknedst 
 [...] O sing unto the Lord,

 [...] ye his saints give thanks when ye his holiness record.
For's wrath doth but a while abide, 
 [...] in his love doth stay:

 [...] weeping lodge an ev'ning tide, yet joy at break of day.

For in my prosp'rous 
 [...] I said, now shall I never 
 [...]
Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain fast abide.
Thou hid
 [...]st thy face, I troubled was, Lord, I to thee did cry;

[Page 72] Also my humble suit for grace unto the Lord made I.

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:
With joy 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, 
 [...]et me be shamed never:
Accordingly as thou art just, O do thou me deliver.


verse 2 Bow 
 [...] 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 73] 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 verity, 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 mercy send relief:
My soul, my belly, and mine eye, consumed are with grief


verse 10 Because my life with sorrow quails, with sighs my years decay:

[Page 74] 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 spy, 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 purposed 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 times are in thy hand.
From the hands of my enemies do thou deliver me,
And from the hand of them likewise that my pursuers be.

(3)

verse 16 Thy countenance to shine upon thy servant do thou make:

[Page 75] 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, shalt hide them from mans pride;
From strife of tongues in covert place thou shalt them safely hide.


verse 21 O let Jehovah blessed be, because he hath made known
His kindness wonderful to me, within a fenced town.

verse 22 For I in haste said, I am cast out from before thine eye:
My suit for grace yet heard thou hast, when 
I to thee did 
 [...]y.


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

[Page 76] 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, [...].

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 
 [...] a spirit 
 [...] 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 
 [...] 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.

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

[Page 77]

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 shalt 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 male 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.


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.

[Page 78] 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 furnish'd with the 
Lords benignity.


verse 6 For by Jehovah's word the heavens had their frame;
And by the spirit of his mouth, a 
 [...] 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;
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 out 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;

[Page 79] 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 he 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.


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.

[Page 80] 20 Our soul doth for Jehovah wait, our help and shield is he.

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

PSAL. XXXIV: A Psalm of David when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drave him away, & he departed.

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


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 life his name on high.


verse 4 When 
I Jehovah sought unto, then he to 
 [...] 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 cry'd, the Lord did hear and sav'd from troubles all.

[Page 81] 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 tast and see likewise!
O great is that mans blessedness who trust on him relies!


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

verse 10 Young Lions they are brought to want and suffer lack of food:

But they that fear the Lord no want shall have of any good.

(2)

O come ye children unto me, give you attentive 
 [...]ar;
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.

[Page 82] 15 Upon the men that righteous are, the Lord doth set his eye;
And likewise he doth how his ear when unto him they cry.

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


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

[Page 83]
PLead 
Lord with them that with me plead
Against them fight, that fight with 
me


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


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

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 & 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 
 [...]igged it,
That 
 [...] the in my soul may get.


verse 8 Let 
 [...] upon him unaware
Destruction; let his not 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 
 [...] with one voice,
Jehovah, who is like to thee
Who ser'st the poor 
 [...]
From him that is for him too strong;

[Page 84] Yea, such as poor and needy be,
From him that spoileth him with wrong.

(2)

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


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 Sackcloth 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 m
y behaviour I have kept:
I bowed down with heavy chear
As one that for his mother wept.


verse 15 But they were glad m
y wo to see,
And the
y together gathered were
Yea, th' abjects '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,
M
y 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 enemics:

[Page 85] And they that hate me Causl
 [...]ly
Let them not Twinkle with their eyes.


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 eye 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 and Confounded be,
At once, who at my hurt are glad,
Let such as boast themselves 'gainst me,
With shame and with disgrace be c
 [...]ad.

verse 27 Let them be glad and shout for joy,
That favour do my righteous cause:
Yea let them say continually,
Extolled be the Lord with Praise
Who in his Servants faring well,
Doth his delightful pleasure take.


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

Psal. XXXVI To the chief Musician, [...] of David, the servant of the Lord.

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


verse 2 
Because 
 [...] he in his own eyes himself is flattering,
Until that his

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

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


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

verse 7 O God, thy loving kindness is of wondrous excellence.

[Page 87] Therefore in shadow of th

verse 8 They of the farness of th

And of the rivers of the joys to drink thou shal

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 'cknowledge 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.

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 iniquity.


verse 2 For even like unto the grass, out quickly down are they;
And like unto the tender herb, they wither shall away.

verse 3 Upon Jehovah put thy trust, and be thou doing good:

[Page 88] 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 thy heart, to thee he will afford.

verse 5 Roul on the Lord, thy way trust him and he'll it bring to pass

verse 6 As light th
y justice he'll bring forth, thy judgment as Noon-Days.

verse 7 Rest in Jehovah, and for him with patience 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 wrath, 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 wait upon the Lord, the land inherit shall.

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;

[Page 89] 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 and bent their bow have the

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

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

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.

verse 21 The Man ungodly borrow doth, and never doth repay.

[Page 90] Whereas the just man mercy 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 
 [...] be utterly down cast,
Because Jehovah with his hand doth yet uphold him fast.

verse 25 I have been young, and now an yet have I never seen
The just man left, so that his seed for bread have beggars been

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

Jehovah will not such an one leave up into his hand;

For any such will he condemn when judged he doth stand.

(3)

Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shal thee exalt,

 [...]earth to inherit; when cut off the wicked see thou shalt.

verse 35 The wicked men I have beheld in mighty power to be;
And spreading so himself abroad, like as a Green Bay-Tree.

verse 6 Nevertheless he past away, and lo then was not he:
Foreover I did seek for him, but found he could not be.


verse 7 Take notice of the perfect man, and th'

cause 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.

[Page 92] 39 But the salvation of the just, doth of Jehovah come.
He is their strength to them in times, that are most troublesome.

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 iniquity.

Above my head ascended are;
Like as an heavy burthen lies,
Too heavy they for me to bear.

verse 13 But as one deaf I did not hear,
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

O

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.

And for my sin will sorry be.

They lively are, and strong also,
Who causlesly me hate likewise,
In number mightily do grow.

O Lord, who my salvation art.

PSAL XXXIX. To the chief Musician, to [...], A Psalm of David.

I Said I will look to my ways, lest I sin with my tongue:

verse 2 With silence I as dumb abode, my mouth I did refrain
From speaking of the thing that's go

And he inclined unto me, he also heard my crie


verse 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit, 
 [...] of the miry clay;

[Page 96] 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 to lies as 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 reckn'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 desire
Thou boarst mine ear, no sin-offering nor burnt one dost require.

verse 7 Then said I, 
Lo I come: it's writ i'th' books roll thus of me,

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

verse 9 Within the Congregation great, thy righteousness I shew;

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 conceal'd.

verse 11 Let not thy tender mercies be, from me O Lord with-held:
Let both thy kindness and thy truth, keep me my life throughout,

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.

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 listed up who of my bread did eat,

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

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 
 [...]ore;
Oh when shall I come and appear, the face of God before?

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


verse 4 When 
 [...] unto my memory these things recal 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:

I with a multitude did go, that did keep hol
 [...]e 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 Hermonites, and from the little hill,

[Page 101] 7 At sounding of the water spouts, deep unto deep doth call:
Thy 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 life I'll pray.


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

verse 10 A

While all the day, where is thy God? they unto me have said.


verse 11 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow thy self down heavil

And wherefore in me makest thou a stir tumultuouslie?

Hope thou in God because I shall with praise him yet advance;

Who is my God [...] also is health of my countenance.

PSALM XLIII

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause from nation merciless;
Both from the man of guile and wrong, O lend thou me redress.

[Page 102] 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 holie hill, and where thy tabernacles be.


verse 4 Then will I to Gods Altar go, to God my chearful joy.
Yea, thee to praise, O God my God, I will my harp employ.

verse 5 My soul, O wherefore dost thou bow, thy self down heavile?
And wherefore in me makest thou a stir tumultuouslie?


verse 6 Hope thou in God, because I shall with praise him yet advance;

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.

[Page 103]

verse 3 For by their sword they did not get the lands possession:

Nor was it their own arm that did work their salvation!

But thy right hand, thine arm also, thy countenances light;

Because that of thine own good will thou did'st in them delight.

verse 4 Thou art my King, O Mightie God, thou dost the same endure:
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 apainst 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 troups, gone forth to battle hast.

[Page 104] 10 Back from before the enemie, 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.


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 do shake.

verse 15 Before mine eies continuallie, abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with confounded shame, o're covered is my face.


verse 16 By reason of the scorners voice, who doth with scoffs despight;
By reason of the enemie, and self-revenging wight.

verse 17 Though all of this be come on us, we have not thee forgot:

Likewise against thy covenant, [...] have we Hot.

verse 18 Our heart's not turned back, nor have our steps from thy way straid.

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 hed, arise, in mercie us relieve.

And thy right-hand shall lead thee forth in works of dreadfulness.

A Scepter is of righteousness


verse 7 Thou wickedness dost hate.

The Queen in finest Ophir gold is set at thy right hand.

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 beautie 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 all glorious within:
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-vlrgins following her shall unto thee be brought.


verse 15 With gladness forth they shall be brought also with joyfulness
So to the palace of King, they entring have access.

Their dwelling places, and their lands, they by their names do call:
But man in honour being set abideth not a night:
But he becometh like unto the beasts that perish quite.

verse 11 The fowls that on the mountains flie all of them do 
I know:
And wild beasts in the field that lie, they are with me also.

[Page 116] 12 If I were hungry I would not it unto thee declare;
For mine the habitable world, and fulness of it are.

verse 13 Of bullocks eat the flesh, or drink the blood of goats will I?

verse 14 Thanks offer unto God and pay thy vows to him most high.

verse 15 And in the day of sore distress, do thou unto him crie;
And I'l deliver thee, and then thou shalt me glorifie.

(2)

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 tast.

verse 18 When thou didst see a thief with him, then thou consented hast.

And like wise with adulterers, thy part hath been the same.

verse 19 Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, and 
 [...] thy tongue doth frame.

verse 20 Thou fittest down, and so against thy brother dost declame:
The son of thine own mother thou with slander dost defame.

[Page 117]

verse 21 These things thou didst, I silent was, thou thought'st of me likewise,

One like thy self, I'l thee reprove, and rank them in thine eies.

verse 22 Now therefore this consider ye that God forgotten have;

Left that in pieces I you tear and there be none to save.

verse 23 Whose doth praises sacrifice, he glorifieth me;

Who orders right his way likewise, shall Gods salvation see.

Desirest in the inward part;
And thou shalt make me wisdom

And forth thy praise my mouth shall show


verse 16 For thou no offring dost desire,
Or else I would it freely bring:
Nor yet a sacrifice require,
Thou takest no delight therein.

verse 17 But unto God the sacrifice
Well pleasing is a broken sprite:
O God thou never wilt despise,
The heart that's broken and contrite,


verse 18 O do thou good to Sion hill,

 [...] thy good pleasure bounteously:
And of Jerusalem up still
Do thou the Walls repair on high.

verse 19 The sacrifice of justice shall
Then please thee, with burnt-offering
And whole burnt-offring: then they shall
Their calves unto thine Altar bring.

PSAL. LI. Second Meeter.

HAve mercy upon me, O God, according to thy grace:

verse 4 'Gainst thee, thee only have I sinn'd, this ill done thee before:

[Page 120] When thou speak'st just thou art, & 
 [...] when thou dost judge therefore;


verse 5 Behold, how in iniquitie I did my shape receive:
Also my mother that me bare in sin did me conceive.

verse 6 Behold thou dost desire the truth within the inward part:
And thou shalt make me wisdom know in secret of my heart.


verse 7 With hyssop do me purifie, I shall be cleansed so:

verse 8 Of joy and gladness make thou me to hear again the voice:
That so the bones which thou hast broke may chearfully rejoice.


verse 9 From the beholding of my sin hide thou away thy face:
Likewise all mine iniquities O do thou clean deface.

verse 11 In me renew, O cast me not away out of thy sight.

verse 12 Nor from me take thy holy spirit restore the joy to me

[Page 121] Of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy Spirit free.

verse 13 Then will I teach thy ways to those that work iniquity,
And by this means shall sinners be converted unto thee.


verse 14 O God, God of my health, set me free from blood-guiltiness;
And so my tongue shall joyfully sing of thy righteousness.

verse 15 Lord, open thou my lips, and forth my mouth thy praise shall show,

verse 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice, I would it else beslow:
Burnt-offerings thou delight'st not in.

verse 17 Of God the sacrifice broken spirit: a contrite heart
God, thou wilt not despise.

verse 18 In thy good pleasure O do good unto thy Sion hill:
The walls of thy Jerusalem, O do thou build up still.

PSAL. LII. To the chief Musician, Maschil, a Psalm of David, when Do [...]g the Edomite came [...] told Soul and said unto him, David is unto the house of Abimelech.

[Page 122]

O Man of might, wherefore dost then 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.

Out of the land of th' living ones, he also will root thee. Selah

verse 6 The just shall fear and langh at him, when they this thing shall see

verse 7 Lo this man made not God his strength but put his trust upon
His store of wealth; he strengthned was in his transgression.

verse 8 But in the house of God am I, like as an Olive green:
In Gods benignity for ay and ay my trust hath been.


verse 9 Because that thou this thing hast done I'll parise 
 [...] evermore:

[Page 123] And on thy name will wait, for this is good thy saints before.

PSAL. LIII. To the chief Musician upon Mahalath Maschil, A Psalm of David.

THe fool in's heart faith there's no God, they are corrupt each one:
Abominable sin they do, that doth good there is none.


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

verse 3 They altogether filthy are, each one is backward gone:
There is not any that doth good, no, not so much as one.


verse 4 The workers of iniquitie, have they no knowledge all?
Who eat my people, even as bread, on God they do not call.

verse 5 They greatly fear'd where no fear was 'gainst thee in camp that lies,
His bones God scattered, & them sham'd, for God doth them despise


verse 6 O who is he that graciously to Israel will fulfil
His manifold salvations from out of Sion hill.

When God his people shall return, that have been captive led,

[Page 124] Then Jacob shall therein rejoyce, and Israel shall be glad.

PSAL LIV. To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Masehil, a Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?

SAve thou me by thy Name, O God, and judge me by thy power.

verse 2 God hear my prayer, hark to the words that from my mouth I pour.

verse 3 For strangers up Against me rise, and who oppress me sore,
Pursue my soul; the mighty God they set not them before. Selah.

verse 4 Lo God's mine help, the Lord's with them that do my soul sustain

verse 5 He to my foes shall ill reward: them in thy truth restrain.

verse 6 I will unto thee sacrifice with voluntariness:
I will thy name confess, O Lord, because that good it is.

verse 7 For he hath me delivered out of all miseries;

And its desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies.

PSAL. LV. To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, a Psalm of David.

O God do thou give ear unto my supplication.

[Page 125] And hide not thou thy self away from my petition.

verse 2 O be attentive unto me, and answer me return:
I in my meditation do make a noise and mourn.

verse 3 By reason of the enemies voice, and vile one that opprest:
For wickedness on me they cast, and me in wrath detest.

verse 4 Mine heart in me is pained sore, death's terrours me surprise:

verse 5 Trembling and fear doth on me come, and horrour on me seiz.

verse 6 Then did I say, O who to me wings of a Dove will give?
That I might fly away, and might in quiet dwelling live.

verse 7 Lo then far off I wander would, and in the desart stay. Selah.

verse 8 Soon from the storm & wind I would and tempest scape away.

(2)

verse 9 O Lord, on them destruction bring do thou their tongues divide.
For strife and violence I within the city have espied.

verse 10 About it on the walls thereof they walk both night and day:

[Page 126] Mischief also and sorrow do in middest of it stay.

verse 11 In midst thereof there's wickedness, deceit doth there abide:
Likewise out of the streets thereof guile turneth not aside.


verse 12 For 'twas no foe reproached me, I could it then abide:
Nor did my hater vaunt o're me, from him I could me hide.

verse 13 But thou it was the man that wert my well esteemed peer:
Which wast to me my special guide, and mine acquaintance near.


verse 14 We did together counsel take in sweet societie:
And we did walk into the house of God in companie.

verse 15 Let death seiz on them, and let them sink down quick into best:

For wickedness among them is, in places where they dwell.

(3)

verse 16 But as for me I'll call on God, and me the Lord save shall,

verse 17 At evening, morn, & noon I'll pray, and I aloud will call.
And he also will hear my voice,

verse 18 Who hath my soul sot 
 [...].

[Page 127] In peace from war that was 'gainst me for many were with me.

verse 19 God shall both hear and them afflict who doth of old abide; Selah
Because that they no changes have, God's fear they laid aside.


verse 20 'Gainst such as be at peace with him, he hath put forth his hand;
He also hath the covenant which he had made profan'd.

verse 21 Whilst war was in his heart, 
more smooth than butter were his words:
His words more soft than any oil, but yet they were drawn swords.


verse 22 Thy burthen on Jehovah cast and he support thee shall:
He will not give the righteous man to be remov'd at all.

verse 23 Thou God, shall bring them down to hell the men of blood who be

And guile shall not live half their days, but I will trust in thee.

PSAL. LVI. To the chief Musician upon Jonath Elem Rechokim Michtam of David, when the Philistins took him in Gath.

O God upon me mercy have, for man would swallow me:
He fights against me all the day, oppress me sore doth he

[Page 128] 2 Throughout the day mine enemi
 [...] to swallow me devise:
Who fight against me O most high, they many are likewise.

verse 3 I'll put my trust in thee always, when as I am afraid,
And I in God his word will praise, in God my trust is staid:

verse 4 For nothing be afraid I will, that flesh can do to me.

verse 5 All day they wrest my words for ill 'gainst me their thoughts all be:

verse 6 Themselves together they combine: themselves they closely hide:
Because they watch this soul of mine, into my stops they pry'd.


verse 7 What shall they thus escape away by their unrighteousness?
O God in wrath without delay, the people down depress.

verse 8 Of all my wandrings to and fro thou hast the reck'ning took:
My tears thy bottle put into, are they not in thy book?


verse 9 Then shall mine enemies turn back, when I do cry to thee;
This I know in assured wise, that God will be for me.

verse 10 In God I'll praise the word, the word praise in the Lord I will.

[Page 129] 11 In God I'll trust, nor be afraid what man can do me ill.

verse 12 O God upon me are thy vows I'll render praise to thee:
Because that thou my soul from death hast set at libertie.

And wilt not thou also my feet, from falling set them free?

That I 'fore God may walk i'th' light of, them that living be.

PSAL LVII To the chief musician, At asthith Michtam of David when he fled from Soul in the cave.

O God to me be merciful, be merciful to me:
Because my soul for shelter safe betakes it self to thee.
Yea in the shadow of thy wings my refuge I have plac'd
Until these sore calamities shall quite be over-past.

verse 2 To God most high I cry: the God that doth for me perform,


verse 3 He will from heaven send, and save me from the spiteful scorn
Of him that would with greedy haste me swallow utterly:
God will send forth his mercy kind, likewise his verity.

verse 4 My soul amongst the Lions is: I fire brands lie among;

[Page 130] Mens sons whose 
teeth are spears & 
 [...] and as sharp swords their tongue.


verse 5 Above the heavens high do thou exalt thy self O God:
O let thy glory be extoll'd o're all the earth abroad.

verse 6 They for my steps prepar'd a net, my soul is bowed down;
They dig'd a pit for me; but they in midst thereof are thrown. Selah

verse 7 My heart prepared, is O God, my heart prepared is:

verse 8 Sing will I and sing praise with Psalm up, O my glory, rise.

A vake both Psaltery and harp, my self i'll early wake:

I will confession make.

verse 10 Among the nations I'll thee praise for thy benignity
Is great to heaven, thy truth likewise doth reach the cloudy sky.

verse 11 Above the heavens high do thou exalt thy self O God:

PSAL. LVIII. To the chief Musician, Altaschith Michtam of David.

Do ye, O congregation, speak righteousness indeed?

[Page 131] In Judgment do ye sons of men 
 [...] proceed?


verse 2 
 [...] wickedness 
 [...] working be:
The 
 [...] of your hands violence weigh out i'th land do ye.

verse 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb, they go astray
And even from the belly they their fa

verse 4 Even like a serpents poyson is, the poyson that they bear;
They are like as the adder deal that stoppeth up her ear.

verse 5 Who will not hearken to the voice of such as charmers are;
Although the charmer in his charms none of his cunning spare.


verse 6 Within their mouth do thou their teeth break out. O God most strong:
Do thou, O Lord, the mighty teeth 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 timeless 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 [...] most wrathful wise.

verse 10 The righteous shall rejoyce, when at he doth the vengeance see;

Sure there's a God that in the earth doth judgment execute:

And be to me a Saviour from such as bloody him

'Gainst me, not for 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 wickedlie 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 goe about the city round.

verse 7 Behold they belch out with their mouths within their lips are swords:
For who is he that doth us hear? these are their very words.

verse 8 But thou, O Lord, wilt laugh at them and all the heathens mock

verse 9 And for his strength I'll wait on thee; because God is my rock.

verse 10 The God of my benignity, with good prevent shall me:
God shall give me upon my foes my full desire to see.


verse 11 Them slay not, lest my folk forget but scatter them apart
By thy strong power, and bring them down our shield and Lord who art.

verse 12 For their mouth sin & their lips words and in their pride them take;
And for the cursing and their lies, which in the
 [...] speech they make.

[Page 134] 13 Consume thou them, in wrath 
 [...] and let them be no more:
So they, that God in Jacob rules, shall know the earth all o're. Selah

verse 14 And they at evening shall return, a noise as dogs shall make:
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 short 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 my high tower, the God of mercie mine is he.

Thou hast displeased been with us, return to us, O God,

verse 2 The land to tremble thou hast caus'd, thou it asunder brake:

[Page 135] Do thou the breaches of it heal, for it doth moving shake.

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


verse 4 But thou bestowed hast on them a banner who thee fear;
That it on high before the truth displayed may appear. Selah.

verse 5 That those that thy beloved are may be deliver'd free:
O do thou save with thy right-hand, and answer give to me.


verse 6 God in his holiness hath spoke, therein rejoyce I still;
Shechem divide, and mete the vale of Succoth out I will.

verse 7 To me doth Gilead appertain, Manasseh mine besides;
Ephraim the strength is of my head, Judah my law prescribes.


verse 8 Moab my wash pot is, I will o're Edom cast my shoe;
O Palestine because of me, be thou triumphant too.

verse 9 O who is it that will me bring into the city strong?
And into Edom who is he that will me lead along?

verse 4 Within thy tabernacle I for ever will abide;
Within the covert of thy wings I'll seek my self to hide. Selah


verse 5 For thou O God hast heard the vows that I to thee have past
The heritage to them that fear thy name thou given hast.

That I the vows that I have made perform may all my day [...].

PSAL. LXII. To the chief Musician, is Jeduthun, a Psalm of David.

TRulie my waiting soul relies in silence God upon
Because from him there doth arise all my salvation.
He onlie is my rock, and he salvation is to me;
And he is my defence that I mov'd greatlie shall not be.

verse 3 How long against a man will ye plot mischief? you shall fall, 
 [...]
All as a tottering fence you be, and like a bowing wall.


verse 4 His excellence yet to suppress they counsel do impart:
They lies 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 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 bal

verse 10 In robbery be not vain, not 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 doth unto God pertain.

verse 12 Also to thee benignitie O Lord doth appertain:

For even as his work shall be thou rendrest man again.

PSAL. LXIII. A Psalm of David [...] he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God thou art my God I will betime for thee inquire:
My soul doth thirst for thee, thee still my flesh doth much desire,

[Page 139] 
 [...] land whereas no waters be, that thirstie is and drie.
As in thine house I saw, to see O thy strength and Majestie.

Because thy loving kindness more in goodness doth excel.
Than life it self: my lips therefore thy praises forth shall tell.
Thus I'll thee bless continually whilst that alive I am:
And I these hands of mine on high will lift up in thy name.

So as with marrow and with

With joyful lips my mouth also shall render praise to thee.
When thee I to remembrance call, as on my bed I lie;
In watches of the night withal when on thee muse do I.

verse 7 Because thou art my help, I will rejoice in thy wings shade;

verse 8 My soul cleaves close unto thee still thy right-hand hath me staid.

verse 9 But they that seek my soul to waste, down under earth shall go.

verse 10 Slain by thy sword, they shall be cast a part the foxes to.

verse 3 Who have their tongue so sharply 
 [...] as if it were a sword:
And bend their bows to shoot their shal

verse 4 That they in secrecy may shoot the perfect man to hit;
They 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 iniquitie, 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.

[Page 141] So as they shall their own tongue make upon themselves to fall.

 [...] that them see away shall flee.

With showers thou mak'st it soft to be her springing blest thou hast

Also the paths where thou dost tread, the fatness do drop down.

The valleys is, so that for joy they shout and also sing

PSAL LXVI. To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.

verse 7 He did the Sea to dry Land turn, a way thereby they had
On foot to pass the river through, there we in him were glad.
He ruleth by his power for aye, his eyes the Nations spy.

verse 8 Ye People bless our God, and make his praises voice be heard.

verse 9 Which holds our soul in life, and he lets not our feet be stirr'd.

verse 10 For God thou hast us prov'd thou

verse 11 Into the net brought us thou hast, on our loins straitness ty'd.

I took not away.

Unto the people bring forth peace;
The little hills accordingly
By executing 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.
They shall thee fear while sun & moon
Endure, through generations all.

 [...]rass he shall come
As show'rs on earth distilling fall.

And store of peace till no moon be.

They verily shall lick the dust.

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.

[Page 162] 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.

(2)

verse 10 Therefore his people hitherto, do turn themselves about;
And waters of their cup o'reflow, that are to them wrung out.
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 trauquillitie:
They do within the word encrease in rich abilitie.

verse 13 Sure I have wash'd my heart in vain. and hands in innocence.

verse 14 For every day I plagu'd have been, each morn with chastisements.

[Page 163]

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:
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 21 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.

[Page 164] 24 Thou with thy prudent counsel 
 [...] 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.


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 
 [...] 
 [...]pair.
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 evermore thus smoaking our against thy pasture-sheep?


verse 2 Mind thou thy Church thou bought's of old, 
 [...]'n thy possessions rod,
Which thou redeem'st, this Sions Mount, wherein thou hast abode.

[Page 165]

verse 3 Unto the lasting ruinous wasts, list up thy foot on high:

All that the foe hath evilly done, within thy Sanctuary.

verse 4 Within they Congregations wherein thy people met,

Thine enemies roar: their ensigns the [...] 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 their earv'd works down.

verse 7 They fired have thy Sanctuary, thy name its dwelling place,
By casting down unto the ground, they do prophanely raze.

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 enemie for evermore, shall he blaspheme thy name?

[Page 166]

verse 11 Why dost thou hold thine hand plu [...] from thy bosom thy right hand.

verse 12 God is my King of old, and works salvation 'midst the land.

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 pieces break:
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.

[Page 167]

verse 20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect: for where dark places be.

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.

verse 3 The earth melts and its dwellers all, I stay its pillars still. Selah.

verse 4 I said unto the foolish ones deal not so foolishly:
Also unto the wicked ones, lift not the horn on high.

[Page 168] 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

But of the righteous onces the horns shall be exalted high.

MY voice was to the mighty God, yea, cried 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'r
 [...]whelm'd was heavily. Selah.

verse 4 Awaking thou dost hold mine eyes; I cannot speak for fears

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?
His render mercy is it ceast to perpetuity.

[Page 171]

verse 8 His promise doth it fail for aye?

verse 9 What to be gracious
Hath God forgotten? and shut up in wrath his bowels thus?

verse 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 work 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.

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:

The world enlightned, and the earth did tremble and did shake.

GIve listning ear unto my law, ye people that are mine:
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.

[Page 173]

verse 6 That th' age to come, & children which are to be born might know;

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, not firm: with God their spirit was.

(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 he land of Egypt seen, in 
Zoa

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.

[Page 174]

verse 14 With cloud by day, with fire by nigh

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:
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 theno
 [...] 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.

[Page 175] 22 For they in God believed not, nor in his health did hope.

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.

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 di
 [...]l on them bestow.

(4)

verse 30 They from their lusting 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.

[Page 176]

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.

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 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 God, & did stint Israels holy one.

[Page 177] 42 His hand they did not keep in mind, nor on the day they thought
Wherein he from the enemy for them deliverance wrought.

verse 43 How he his signs miraculous in Egypt wrought likewise:
And also in the fields 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 flies;
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 distress by sending forth ill angels them among.

[Page 178]

verse 50 He made away unto his wrath, their soul he did not save

From death, but unto Pestilence their lively ones he gave,

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 the heathen out, he did their lot divide
By line, and Israels 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.

[Page 179] 57 But like their fathers, back they turn'd and faithlessness did show;
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 hatred great.

verse 60 So Shiloahs 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 
 [...]' sword he gave his folk, & was wrath with his heritage.

verse 63 Their young men fire devour'd their maids none gave in marriage.

verse 64 Their priests fell by ther sword likewise their widows did not weep.

verse 65 Then did the Lord as one arise, awakened out of sleep:
Like as a strong man after wine

verse 66 Doth shout. He also smote,
His foes behind; so gave he them an everlasting blot.

verse 67 Then he did Josephs tent refuse, nor Ephraims tribe approv'd

[Page 180] 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


verse 2 Thy servants bodies that are dead they given have for meat:
To th' souls 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.

[Page 181] Like unto waters, and there was none for to bury them.

verse 4 To those that near unto us dwell, reproach become 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 i
 [...]e
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 o
 [...] Thy Name also.

verse 7 Because they Jacob have devour'd, and they his dwelling place

To utter desolation did wonderfully raze.

(2)

verse 8 Mind not against us former sins; O let thy bowels haste
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 sin ev'n for the same

verse 10 Why say the heathen, where's their God before them bring to light.

[Page 182] 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 S [...]shannim Eduth a Psalm of Asaph.

THou that lead'st Joseph as a flock, O if 'els shepherd hear.
Who dwell'st between the Cherubims,
O shine thou forth most clear.


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

[Page 183] 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 like wise
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 shall have deliverance

(2)

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.


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 hills, 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 hedges utterly,
So that all those do pluck at her that in the way pass by?

verse 13 The Boar out of the wilderness doth wasting it annoy.

[Page 184] And wild beasts of the field the same devouringly destroy.

verse 14 We do beseech thee to return, O God of Hosts, incline
To look from heaven, and behold, and visit thou this vine.

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.

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

To shine forth upon us, so we shall have deliverance.

PSAL. LXXXI. To the chief Musicia [...] upon Gittith, a Psalm of Asaph.

UNto the mighty God our strength sing with a shouting voice:

[Page 185] Unto the God of Jacob so make ye a joyful noise

verse 2 Take up a Psalm of melody, the timbrels 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.


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 set, when he through Egypt went:
Whereas a language I did hear, but knew not what it meant.


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 answered thee at Meribah it's waters proved thee. Selah.

(2)

verse 8 Hear, O my people, and I will unto thee testify:

[Page 186] If that thou wilt, O Israel, hear me attentively.

verse 9 There shall not any strange god be 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:
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 counsels gave.


verse 13 O that my people unto me ob
 [...]dient had been!
And O that Israel he had walked my ways within!

verse 14 I should 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 haters of the Lord to him obedience should have fain'd:
But unto perpetuity their time should have remain'd.

[Page 187] 16 And with the finest of the wheat have nourish'd them should he:
With honey of the rock I should have satisfied thee.

PSAL. LXXXII. A Psalm of Asaph.

THe mighty God doth stand within th' assembly of the strong.
And he it is that righteously do 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:
Vnto 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 earths 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.

[Page 188] 8 That thou mayst judge the earth, O God do thou thy self advance:
For thou shalt have the Nations all for thine inheritance.

PSAL. LXXXIII. A Psalm or Song of Asaph

O God do not thou silence keep, no longer speech refrain
O mighty God do thou likewise no longer still remain


verse 2 For lo, they that thine enemis be, do rage tumultuously.
And they that haters be of thee, have lift the head on high.

verse 3 Against those that thy people are they crafty counsel take:
Also against thy hidden ones they consultation make.


verse 4 They said, lest they a Nation be, let's cut them down therefore,
That in remembrance Isra'ls name may not be any more.

verse 5 Because they counsel taken have together with consent:
And in confederacy close they are against thee bent


verse 6 The tabernacle of Edom, and of the Ishmaelices;
The people of the Hagarens, and of the Moabites.

[Page 189]

verse 7 Gebal, and Ammon, Amalek together do conspire:

The Philistins, with them that be inhabitants of Tyre

verse 8 Assur moreover is combin'd with them in amity

And they have been an arm of strength to Lots posterity.

(2)

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 Zalnu

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 flames hills sets on fire.

verse 15 So with thy tempest them pursue and fright them in thine ire.

[Page 190] 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.

Art over all the earth throughout advanc'd the highest One.

PSAL. LXXXIV. To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the Sons of Korah.

Wherein she may her young ones lay, thine alters near unto:
O thou that art of armies Lord my King my God also.

verse 9 Behold, O God, our shield, the face of thine anointed see.


verse 10 For better's in thy Courts a day, than else where thousands be:
I rather had a door-keeper be

Than in the tents of wickedness to settle mine abode.

verse 11 Because the Lord God is a Sun, he is a should also:
Jehovah to his people grace and glory will bestow:
No good thing will he hold from them that do walk uprightly.

PSAL LXXXV. To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the Sons of Korah.

[Page 192] Thou hast returned with thine hand.


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 fierce indignation
Thou turned hast thy self away.

Convert thou us, and do thou make.

That joy in thee thy folk may thus?

Surely to all that do him fear,
That glory may dwell in our Land

Prosperity and righteousness,
Embracing did each other kiss.

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 ear unto my cry.

verse 8 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 200]


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.

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' 
 [...] 
 [...]enteth thee.


verse 14 Why casts thou Lord, my soul aside
Why dost thou hide thy face from me?

[Page 201] 15 I'm poor afflicted, and to die
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 & com

Removed off away from me;
To those that mine acquaintance are
I am in dark obscuritie.

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.


verse 4 To perpetuity thy seed establish sure I will.
Likewise to generations all thy throne I'll build up still. Selah,

[Page 202]

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?

verse 7 God greatly in the church of saints is to be had in fear;
And to be reverene'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:
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.

[Page 203] 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.

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.

On such an one as mighty is I have salvation laid.

I rais'd, my servant David I
Have found, him I anointed 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 Mercie yet and veritie with him shall be the same;
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 earthlie kings more high.

[Page 205] 28 My mercie I will keep for him to times which ever last:
With him also my covenant shall be establish'd fast.

verse 29 Moreover I his seed will make for to endure always;

All over with confusion thou hast him covered.

verse 46 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou hide thy self for evermore?
Like as a burning fire abide shall thy displeasure sore?

How in my breast I have it born, from mighty people all.

Wherewith they do reproach the steps of thine anointed one.

THou Lord our stay, hast been an house of habitation.

[Page 208] 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.


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 speedilie decay.


verse 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee in thy sight.
Our secret evils are likewise before thy faces light.

[Page 209]

verse 9 Because that in thy furie 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, their strength is grief and pain.

For soon its gone and hence we pass,

verse 11 O who is he doth know
Thine angers 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.

That so through all our days we may joy and make melodie.

verse 15 According to the days wherein affliction we have had;
And years wherein ill we have seen now also make us glad.

verse 5 Now 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 22 That he his noble Peers might bind according to his heart;

[Page 239] And that unto his Senators he wisdom might impart.

verse 23 Then also into Egypt land his father Israel came!
And Jacob was a sojourner within the land of Ham.

verse 24 He much increas'd his folk, and made them than their foes more strong.

verse 25 Their heart he turn'd his folk to hate, to do his servants wrong.

THe Lord praise to the Lord give thanks because that good is he:
Because his mercy doth endure to perpetuity.

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 rejoice;
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.

(2)

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,

[Page 242] 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 would 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 leanness their soul into.

verse 16 They envi'd Moses in the camp Aaron Gods saint also.

verse 17 The open'd 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.

[Page 243] 20 They chang'd their glory to be like an ox that eateth hay.

verse 21 The

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.

verse 28 And to 
Baal-Peor they joyn'd themselve
 [...] 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 42 At th' waters of contention they angred him also

[Page 244] 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 
 [...]

verse 34 The nations as the Lord them charg'd they wholly did not waste.

verse 35 But were amongst the heathen 
 [...] and learn'd their works to do.

verse 36 And did their Idols serve, which the

verse 37 Yea unto Devils they their sons, and daughters offered.

verse 38 And guiltless 
blood, blood of their son and of their daughters shed.

Whom unto Canaans Idols they gave up in sacrifice:
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 gave he them to heathens hand, their haters their lords were.

[Page 245] 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

 [...]y'd of all that led them forth into captivity.

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.

And let all people say Amen, O praise Jehovah ye.

verse 3 And from the east & west hath brought from south and northern lands

verse 4 I'th' desart stray'd in desart way no dwelling town they find.

verse 5 They hungry were, and thirsty they, 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.

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, doth throughly satisfie:

The hungry soul he fills likewise with good abundantly.

(2) To prisoners

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.

[Page 247] 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;
Who did them set at liberty out of their anguishes.

verse 14 He did them out of darkness bring also deaths shade from under.
As for 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.

(3) To the sick.

verse 17 Fools do for their iniquities and sins, afflictions bear.

verse 18 Their soul abhors all meat, likewise they to deaths gate draw near.

[Page 248] 19 Then they unto Jehovah cry, when they are in distress;
Who setteth them at liberty, out of their anguishes.

verse 20 He did send out his word, and he unto them healing gave:
From out of their destruction free he likewise did them save.


verse 21 O that men praise Jehovah would for his great goodness then:
And for his wonders manifold unto the sons of men;

verse 22 And of thanksgiving sacrifice let them their offrings bring

While they his works declare likewise let them for gladness sing.

(4) 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 commanded 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.

[Page 249] 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.

verse 30 Their rest glads them, he brings them to the hav'n that they did will.

verse 31 O that men praise Jehovah would for his great goodness then
And for his wonders manifold unto the sons of men.

verse 32 Also the peoples church within him let them highly raise.

Assembled where the elders been him also let them praise.

(5) 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 like wise sow their fields:
Which unto them their fruitfulness with much revenue yields.

[Page 250] 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.

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 doth make him families.


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 among the nations thee will I praise with song.

Thy verity doth also reach unto the cloudy sky.

And o're the Land of Philistim I will in triumph sing.

verse 10 Who will me lead along unto the City fortify'd?

verse 11 Wilt thou not this perform, O God, who didst us cast thee fro?
And likewise wilt not thou, O God, forth with our armies go?

verse 12 From trouble give us help, for vain is mans salvation

verse 13 Through God we shall, do valiantly for he'll our foes tread down.

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

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; bu

verse 5 And 
 [...] 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.

[Page 253] And let the pray'r that he doth make be turned into

And [...] 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 his children fatherless.

verse 13 Let go into perdition the race that of him came:
In th' after generation out razed be his name


verse 14 Remembred with the Lord be his 
 [...] iniquity;
And of his meaner let the sin out-blotted never be.

verse 15 Before Jehovah let them be continually put;

[Page 254] That from out of the earth he may the mem'ry of them cut.

verse 16 Because that he remembred not compassions to impart:
But did pursue the needy poor so slay the broke in heart.

(3)

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, him cloath'd: so let it go
Into his bowels water like, like oyl his bones into.

verse 29 Like as a garment let it be to him, him to array:
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.

(4)

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.

[Page 255] 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.

verse 26 Jehovah, O my God me help: in mercy save thou me.

verse 27 That they may know this is thy hand Lord, that it's done by thee.

verse 28 Though they do curse, yet do thou bless let them ashamed be.
When they arise: but let him joy that servant is to thee.


verse 29 Mine adversaries, O let them with shame be cloath'd upon:
And be they cloath'd as with a cloak with their confusion.

verse 30 Unto Jehovah with my mouth give hearty thanks will I
Yea, him among the multitude with praise I'll glorifie.


verse 31 For he shall stand at right hand of the poor afflicted one.
From those that do condemn his soul to give salvation.

Upon the day wherein that he his indignation brings:

Great places: and o're many lands he shall strike through the head!

verse 3 The pangs of death on every side about beset me round:
The pains of hell gat hold on me, distress and grief I found.

verse 4 Upon Jehovahs Name therefore I called, and did say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray.

verse 5 Jehovah gracious is and just, our God is kind also:

And planted it with choicest Vine,
Amidst it built a Tow'r also
And therein made a press for wine.

But lo' there an oppressing wound;
And that they justice should effect,
But lo an outcry there he found.

The City of dread Nations 
shall reverence thee withal.


verse 4 For thou hast been unto the poor his strong m

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

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.

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.

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;

For when on earth thy judgments be,
The dwellers in the world shall shall see,
That so they righteousness may learn,

For in us then hast wrought also
Ev'n all our works, our God, O Lord,


verse 13 Other Lords had dominion
O 
 [...] 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
Destroy'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 art,
Thou hast remov'd it far apart,
Where all the ends of th' earth do lie

Of trouble, out their pray'r do pour
on them when thy chastisements light

As 'twere the wind, no health we wrought
In th' earth, nor have the worldlings slew.

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 flam.

verse 10 I Said in cutting off my days,
Go to the gates of grave shall I

[Page 360] And of the remnant of my years
I am deprived utterly


verse 11 I said, the Lord I shall not see,
I 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,

 [...] I mourn, mine eyes up cast
Do fail: Lord, help, opprest am I.


verse 15 What shall I say? to me he 
 [...]

 [...] spoken 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, and thou
By these my spirits life dost give:
Then wilt recover me also,
And thou wilt make me for to live.


verse 17 Lo, I for peace sharp grief did find,
But freed my soul in love thou hast
From pits corruption, for behind
Thy back thou all my sins did cast.

[Page 361]


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.

CHAP. III.

I Am the man by's wrathful rod who have of grief the sight.

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 flesh and skin he hath made old my bones he broken hath.

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 15 He made me full of bitterness, and drunk with wormwood strong.

verse 16 And he my teeth with gravel brake, in ashes rolled me

verse 17 And far thou putt'st my soul from peace gone is prosperity.

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,

verse 46 Against us opened have their mouths all of our enemies.

verse 47 Fear and a snare is come on us, waste and distruction.

verse 48 
 [...] my 
 [...] daughters waste, mine eyes 
 [...] water rivers down.

verse 49 Mine eye with tears doth trickle down, no intermission.

[Page 365] 50 Until the Lord from heaven look down on our affliction.

verse 51 Mine eye affects mine heart, for all my City's daughters sore.

verse 52 Me like a bird my foes pursu'd they have no cause therefore.

verse 53 My life i'th' dungeon they cut off, on me a stone they put.

verse 54 The waters did slow o're mine head, I said 
I off am cut.

verse 55 I called on thy Name O Lord, out of the dungeon low.

verse 56 Thou heard'st my voice hide not thine ear my c

verse 57 Thou drewest near, & saidst Fear not i'th' day 
I call'd on thee

verse 58 Lord, my souls causes thou didst plead my life thou hast set free.

verse 59 Jehovah thou hast seen my wrong, judge thou the cause for me.

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.


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: so 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,

[Page 371] The labour of the Olive fail,
And though the fields no meat should bear

Though flocks shall be cut off from fold
In stall no herd should have abode.


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.
