SIng to ye LORD for he excells
in glorious renown:
He hath the horse & cavaleer▪

2 JAH is my strength, & song, & he
is my salvation:
My God hee is, I'le him prepare
an habitation.

My Fathers God hee is also
I'l [...] him exalt, the s [...]me.
3 Je [...]vah is a man of w [...]rr

7 And in thine excellency great▪
thou h [...]st o're-thrown thy fo [...]s▪

[Page]
Thou didst send forth thy wrath which as▪
the stuble did them wast.
8 Together gathered were the waves
ev'n with thy nosthrills blast▪
The  [...]ouds stood upright as an heap
the depths in mid-Sea froze.
9 The foe said▪ I'le pursue, I'le catch▪
I will the spoil dispose.

My lust on them shall filled bee▪
my sword draw out will I,
My hand shall them again possess,
or stroy them utterly▪
10 Thou with thy wind didst on them blow,
the Sea them covered:
They in the mighty waters sunck,
as if they had been lead.

(2)11 LORD who's like thee among the Gods▪
who's like thee▪ glorious
In holiness, fearfull in prayse,
in doings m [...]rvelous!
12 When thou didst forth thy right hād stretch
the earth them swallowed.

¶ The Propheticall Song of Moses. Deut 32.

O [...] heav'ns give ye attentive eare▪
 [...]o what I shall declare:
And also thou O earth shalt heare,
what my mouths sayings are▪
2 My doctrine like the rain shall drop
my speech distill shall as
The dew  [...]as  [...]ain on tender heaths.
and like the showres on grass.

3 Becaus that I Jehovahs name
will publish all abroad:
See that ye greatness atribute
therfore unto our God.
4 That ROCK his work most perfect is:
for's wayes all judgment bee:
A God of truth▪ an [...] without sin,
both just and right is hee.

5 But they defil'd them selves, their spot
is not his childrens stain▪
A crooked generation they
and froward do remain.
6 O foolish people and unwise▪
the LORD thus pay do yee▪
Thy Father that th [...]e bought, & made▪
and stablisht is not hee▪

7 Remember dayes of old, the yeares
of every age marke well;
Thy father ask▪ and he'l thee shew:
thine elders will thee tell.
[Page]8 When as the highest shar'd their lots
unto the nations.
When as the seperation hee
did make of Adams sons:

The borders of the people hee
did set where they should dwell:
According to the number of
the sonns of Israel.
9 Becaus Jehovahs portion
his chosen people bee.
The lot of his inheritance
Jacobs posterity.

10 He found him in a desart  [...]and▪
and i'th vast deserts cry:
He led him round, him taught▪ him kept
as th'apple of his ey.
11 As th'eagle stirreth up her nest▪
and  [...]l [...]tters o're her young▪
Spreads out her wings▪ & takes them up▪
beares them her wings upon.

12 Ev'n in such wise Jehovah led
him up and down alone:
A  [...] God  [...]lso with him
 [...] any one.
13  [...] pl [...]ces of the earth
 [...]
 [...]
 [...]

14  [...]
 [...]
[Page]Hee from y• flinty rock likewise
did make him oyle to take.
14 On butter thou of kine▪ & on
the milk of sheep didst feed:
With fat of lambs, & goates, & rams▪
that were of Bashans breed:

Together with the fatness of
the wheaten kidneies fi [...]e:
Thou of ye grapes didst also drink
the blood, refined wine.

(2) [...] But Je [...]urun then waxed fat
and wantonly did kick:
Thou art grown fat▪ thou gross art gro [...]
art clos'd with fatness thick.
Then he forsook the mighty God▪
who had him mag [...]'d
The Rock of his salvation
hee also vilifi'd.

16. They with strange Gods his jealousie
did kind [...]e as a  [...]:
And with abominations
they did provoke his ire▪
1 [...] They did to divills not to God
their sacrifices there.
To Go [...]s unknown, new up-startes, whom
your fath [...]rs did not feare.

18 T [...] ROCK who thee begotten hath
ten  [...] h [...]st thou not:
The  [...]ghty God who formed thee
 [...] forgot.
[Page]19 And this Jehovah  [...] ▪ and hee
dispising them did lo [...]th.
Becaus of the provo [...]king of
his sons & daughters  [...]

20 He said I'le  [...] from them
what is their and I'le see:
For they a very froward race,
they faithless children be [...].
21 With that which is no God they have
mee mov'd to jealousie▪
The have provoaked me to wrath
with Idols  [...]:

With what's no people I'le provoak
them unto jealousie:
Them with a foolish nation
to anger move will I▪

(3)22 For fyre  [...] in  [...] wrath
shall b [...]rn to hell below:
And wast the earth with her increas
hils bottoms free also.
23 I mischiefs will upon them heap.
 [...]ine arrowes on them spend:
With hunger burnt, with he [...] devo [...].
with bitter plagues them end.

24 The  [...]eth of cruell beasts I will
upon them send also:
The poyson of the serpents too
which on the  [...] do go.
25 The sword without &  [...] within▪
young men and maids bereave:
[Page]Which neither shall ye sucking babe▪
nor hoar [...]e headed leave.

26 And into corners, I did say
that I would scatter them:
I'le their remembrance make to ceas
from 'mongst the sons of men.
27 But yt I fear'd their enemies wrath:
their foes there it would strange▪
And say our high hand not y• LORD
it is, wrought all this change.

28 For they'r a Nation counselless
nor understanding find.
29 O [...] were they wise: this understood!
their latter end would mind!
30 How should one chase a thousand, two
ten thous [...]nd put to flight▪
Had not their Rock them sold & them
Jehovah shut up quite.

31 Becaus their Rock unto our ROCK
 [...]s no [...] to be compar'd:
Yea though our enemies themselves
as ju [...]ges should be heard.
32 For their Vine is of Sodoms Vine▪
and of Gomorrahs field:
Their  [...] of g [...]ll, to them
they bitter clusters yield.

33 Their wi [...]e as Dragons poyson is▪
 [...] Adders cruell  [...]ll.
34 Is not this stor'd with me, & se [...]ld
amongst my treasures all:

[Page]
(4)35 Vengeance is mine & recompen [...]e
in time their foot shall slide:
For their woe-day is nigh & soon
mishaps shall them be-tide.
36 Becaus ye LORD his folk shall judge▪
for's servants too repent:
When none shut up or left he seeth▪
and that their powr is spent.

37 And he shall say those Gods of theirs▪
now where becom are they:
Where is ye Rock, on whom they did
their expectation stay?
38 Which  [...] their sacrifices fat.
dr [...]nk their wine-off [...]ings too▪
Let them arise, help you & bee
a hiding place for you.

39 See now that I▪ even I am hee
and ther's no God with mee:
I kill & quicken, wound, & heal,
none from my h [...]nd c [...]n free.
40 For I to heaven lift mine han [...]:
and s [...]y I live for  [...]ve.
41 If my bright sword I wher & if
my hand on judgement st [...]y:

I'le render vengeance to my  [...] ▪
I'le  [...]
42 I'le m [...]ke mine  [...] with blood
& flesh my  [...]
For blood of sl [...]in & of them that
are in c [...]ptivity:
[Page]More then from first revenges were.
upon the enemy.

43 Sing joyfully yee Nations, with
those that his people bee;
Because that of his servants all
revenge y• blood will hee▪
And to his adversaries bee
will  [...]nder vengeance due
And hee will mercy to his land
and to his people shew.

¶ THE SONG OF DEBORAH AND BARAK. Judg: 5. Then Sang Deborah & Barak the Son of A [...]oam on that day Saying.

IN that he Israel hath reveng'd
bless yee therfore ye LORD.
 [...] that the people offered
themselves of free accord.
3 Give ear  [...] Kings, yee Princes hear▪
sing to the LORD I will:
I even I'le sing to the LORD,
the God of Israel.

4 LORD whē thou wē  [...]st frō S [...]i [...], when thou

Even  [...] y• LORD
the God of Israel.

[Page]
6 In dayes of Sh [...]mgar Anaths son
high wayes in J [...]els dayes
Untrodden were; the passengers
did travell through by-wayes▪
7 The villagers did cease to bee▪
they ceas'd in Israel;
Till that I Deborah▪ rose I rose
a moth'r in Israel.

8 New Gods they chose, then wars a­rose▪
& in ye gates have been:
'Mongst fourty thousand Israelites
was sheild, or spear then seen?
9 My heart to Israels Rulers is,
that did of free accord,
Present themselves amongst ye folk:
bless ye therfore the Lord.

10 Speak ye your minds, all ye yt doe
upon white asses ride:
Yee that in judgment  [...], & yee

11 Who from ye archers noi [...]e were freed

In p [...]ces where they waters  [...]
the just acts of y• LORD.

His rightous acts to them that dwell

(2)12 Wake, wake,  [...], wake awake

[Page]Abinoams son, & captive lead
thou thy captivityes.
13 Unto y• remnant hee gave rule
above the Nobles then.
Amongst ye folk the LORD gave mee
rule over mighty m [...]n.

14 From out of Ephraim a root,
'gainst Amalek there was:
Thy followers O Benjamin,
amongst thy folk did pass.
From out of Machi [...] governours
descended also then:
And out of Zebulon came they
that handle writers pen.

15 And Issachar▪ even Issachar
his peeres with Deborah went:
And also Barak was on foot
into the valley sent,
Because of those divisions that
in Reuben did appear,
Full many great impressions
of heart amongst us were.

16 Why didst thou 'mongst ye sheepfolds stay
the ble [...]ting flocks to he [...]r
For Reuben his divisions▪
heart searchings great there were.
17 Gil [...]d by Jordan  [...] why

On  [...]

18 Both Zebulun▪ & Nephthali

[...] people that did yield.

Their lives in danger unto death

upon the open field.

(3)19 The Kings came & they fought then fought
the Kings of Canaan▪
In Taanach by Migiddo's streames:
no money▪ gain they wan.
20 From heav'n they fought, y• stars by course
did fight 'gainst Sis [...]ra.
21 Then Kishons brook, old Kishōs brook
that brook them swept away.

O thou my soule hast trod down strength.
22 Then broke their hors hoofs were.
By plunging pransings, pransings of
their mighty horses there.
23 Curse Meroz, curse her dwellers, curse▪
Jehovahs Angel said:
For they came not to aid the LORD▪
'gainst might ye LORD to aid.

24 Jael y• Kenite Hebers wife
'bove women blest shall bee:
Above the women in the tent,
a blessed one is shee.
25 Hee water askt, shee gave him milk▪
in Lordly dish shee fetcht
26 Him butter forth; unto ye nayle
shee forth her left hand stretcht.

Her right hand to ye workmans maul,
and Sisera hammered:
[Page]Shee peirc't & struck his temples through
& then cut off his head.
27 He at her feet bow'd, fell, lay down,
hee at her feet bow'd where
Hee fell; wheras hee bowed down▪
hee fell destroyed there.

(4)28 Out of a window Sisera
his mother look't, & said,
The lat [...]ess through, in cōming why
so long's his charriot staid:
His charrets wheeles, why tarry they:
29 Her wise dames answered;
Yea shee turn'd answer to her selfe,
30 And what have they not sped:

The prey by poll a maid or twain
what parted have not they:
Have they not parted Sisera
a partie coloured prey:
A party coloured nield-work prey
of nield-work on each side,
That's party colloured, meet for necks
of them y• spoiles divide:

31 So perish let thine enemies all
O LORD: but let each wight
That doe him love be like ye Sun
that goes out in his might.

¶ THE SONG OF HANNAH 1 Sam: 2. And Hannah prayed & s [...]id

[Page]
MY heart doth in Jehovah joy▪
my horn in Jah is lift on high:
My mouth inlarg'd is o're my foe:
For in thy health rejoice doe I.
2 Like to ye LORD ther's holy none:
Because there is none else but thee:
And other rock there is not one.
That to our God compar'd may bee.

3 Speak ye out no presumpteous word,
No harshnes from your mouth proceed.
For God of knowledge is ye LORD
Also by him are actions weigh'd.
4 The strong mens bowes are shivered
And they yt slipt are girt with might:
5 The full have hir'd thēselves for bread
And ceased hath ye hungry wight.

So that ye barren seaven bare.
The fruitfull woman▪ weak is grown.
6 The LORD doth kill, & life doth spar [...]
He lifts up & to grave brings down.
7 The LORD both poor and rich doth make
He raiseth up, & bringeth low.
8 The poor he up from dust doth take.
The beggar lifes the dunghil fro:

To give them place with princely lords
To make them heirs of glories throne:
For th'earths foundatiōs are the LORDS
And he hath set the world theron.
9 His holie ones  [...]heir feet he will
I reserve so▪ that they shall not fall:
The vile in darkness shall be still.
[Page]For no man shall by strength prevail.

10 The adversaries of the LORD
Shall broken be to pieces small.
And he from heaven shall accord.
To thunder forth upon them all.
The borders of the earth the LORD
Shall justly judge and he likewise
Unto his King shall strength afford:
And make his Ointeds horn to rise.

Davids Elegie: 2 Sam 1.17. And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul & [...]ver Jonathan his son.

19 UPon thy places high is slaine
the flower of Israel.
How are the mighty fallen down.
20 In Gath this never tell.
Nor shew't in streets of Askelon,
lest Philistines rejoice:
Lest daughters of th'uncircumciz'd
should make triumphant noise.

21 Yee mountaines high of Gilboah
let there be never dew.
Nor raine, nor fields of offerings,
let ever be on you.
For there the mighty one his shield
receiv'd disgracefull foile,
The shield of Saul as he had not
anointed been with oile:

[Page]
22 The bow of Jon'than did not turn
back from the blood o'th slain▪
From fat o'th mighty, and Sauls sword
did not return in vain.
23 Most lovely Saul and Jonathan▪
and pleasant did abide.
While they did live, & in their death
them nothing did divide.

They swifter then the Eagles were.
they Lyons did excel,
24 In strength▪ O weep yee over Saul
daughters of Israel:
 [...] did in Scarlet you array▪
with deckings manifold:
Who did on your apparrell lay
The ornaments of gold.

25 In middest of the battle how
the mighty fallen lye▪
O Jonathan cut off wast thou
upon thy places high▪
26 O thou my brother Jonathan
I am distrest for thee:
A loving kind, companion
thou hast been unto mee:

Thy love to mee in wonder past
the love of women far.
27 How are the mighty fall'n and w [...]st
the weapons be of war!

¶ THE BOOK OF PSALMS

PSALM. I.

O Blessed man yt walks not in
th'advice of wicked men
Nor stādeth in ye sin̄ers way
nor scorners seat sits in▪
But he upō Jehovah's law
doth set his whole delight
And in his law doth medi­tate
both in the day & night.

3 He shall be like a pla [...]ted tree
by water brookes, which shall
In his due season yield his fruit,
whose leafe shall never fall:
And all he doth shall prosper well.
4 The wicked are not so:
But they are like unto the chaff▪
which wind drives too & fro.

5 Therfore shall not ungodly men
in judgment stand upright▪
Not in th'assembly of  [...]he just

[Page 2]6 For of the righteous men, the LORD
acknowledgeth the way:
Wher [...]s the way of wicked men

PSAL: II.

WHy rage the heathen furiously▪
vain things the people muse:
2 Kings of ye earth doe set themselves
and Princes plotting use.
With one consent against the LORD.
against his Christ also.
3 Let us assunder break their bands.
and their cords from us throw.

4 He that in heaven sire shall laugh▪
the LORD deride them shall.
5 Then to them in his ire he'l speak▪
in's wrath sore vex them all.
6 But I anoint my King upon
Zion my holy hill.

The LORD to me said. Thou' [...]t my son.
this day I thee begot.

10 And now ye Kings be wise, be learn'd

11 Serve ye the LORD with reverence▪

PSAL: III. A Psalm of David when he [...]ed from the face of Absalom his s [...]n.

O LORD my foes how great are they▪

PSAL: IV. To the chief musician on Negi [...]th, a Psalm of David.

GOD of my justice when I call
O hear mee; when distrest
Thou hast inlarg'd mee▪ shew mee grace,
and hear thou my request.
2 Yee sons of men my glory turn

How long will yee love vanitie

3 But know ye LORD hath set apart
for him his gracious saint:
The LORD will hear when unto him
I pour out my complaint.
* 4 Be stirred up; but do not  [...]inn

Within your heart, with silence deep
when on your bed you lie.

5 The sacrifice of righteousness

And confidently put your trust

6 Many  [...] say, O who

3 Thou in the morn my voice shalt hear
LORD in the morning I
Will unto thee direct my pray'r

4 For thou art not a God that will

Nor shall with thee dwell any ill.
5 Nor fooles stand in thy  [...]ight:

Ev'n length of dayes to him, that hee

14 Look from his dwelling place doth he,

15 The hearts of every one

And all their operations
he well doth mind the same.
16 By multitude of hosts
no King himself doth save,
Nor yet by multitude of strength
they strong deliverance have.

17 A horse a vain thing is
to be a saviour,
Nor shall he work deliverance
by greatness of his powr.
18 On them that doe him fear▪

Upon them that do place their hope,

with joy her boasting chear,
The humble shall great pleasure take
when they hereof shall hear.

3 With me together O do yee
Iehovah magnifie,
And let us  [...]ll herin agree
to lift his name on high.
4 When I Iehovah sought unto,
then he to me gave ear:
Hee me delivered also,
from all that was my fear.

5 * They look't to him and lightned were
no shame did them appall.
6 This poor m [...]n cry'd, the LORD did hear
and sav'd from troubles all.
7 The LORD his Angel every where
incamp [...]th round about:
Each one of them that do him fear,
from ill to free them out.

8 How bountifull Iehovah is.
O tast and see likewise:
[Page 60]O great is that mans blessedness.
whose trust on him relies!
9 Oh see that ye Jehovah fear
his holy ones that bee,
Because that such as do him fear▪
no want at all shall see.

10 Young Lyons they are brought to wāt,
and suffer lack of food:
But they that fear the LORD no want
shall have of any good.

(2)11 Oh come ye children unto mee,
give you attentive ear:
And I will you instruct how yee
the LORD aright shall fear.
12 Who is the man whose heart is bent
that long his life may bee,
Who loveth dayes, and hath intent
prosperity to see.

13 Thy tongue from ill, thy lipps also
from speaking guile keep thou.
14 Depart from evill,  [...]nd do good,
seek peace and it pursue.
15 Upon th [...] men that righteous are,
the LORD doth set his eye:
And likewise he doth bow his ear
when unto him they cry.

16 Iehovahs face is set against
them that do wickedly,
That he of them from off the land
[Page 61]may cut the memory,
17 When as the righteous men doe cry,
the LORD doth hear their call:
And gives to them delivery
out of their troubles all.

18 Iehovah near is such unto
as broken hearted bee:
Whose spirit contrite is also.
ev'n such ones save will hee.
19 The just mans grie [...]  [...]re many a one,
from all GOD sets him free:
Hee keepeth all his bones, that non [...]
of them should broken bee.

21 Evill shall slay the wicked men,
and whosoever hate
The righteous man, ev'n all of them
shall sure be desolate.
22 Their soules that do Iehovah serve.
he freely doth redeem:
Nor utterly shall any swerve,
that put their trust in him.

Oh when shall I come & appear,
the face of God before!

3 My teares have been unto me meat,
by night and eke by day:
While all day long they unto mee,
where is thy God? do s [...]y.
4 When as unto my memorie,
these things recall I doe,
Then I pour out my soul in mee,
for I with troops did go:

With them unto Gods house I went,
with voyce of joy and praise:
I with a multitude did go,
that did keep holy-dayes.
5 My soul why art cast down? and why
stird in me? thy hope place
In God, for praise him yet shall I,
for health is in his face.

(2)6 My God, my soul in mee's cast down;
therfore thee mind I will:
From Jordans land, and Hermonites,
and from the little Hill.

Thy wa [...]es pass over mee, and eke
thy breaking billowes all.

command will in the day:
And in the night his song's with mee,

9 I'le say to God, my rock, O why
hast thou forgotten mee?
For pressure of the enemy,
why should I mourning bee?

10 As with a sword within my bones,
mine enemies me upbraid:
While all the day, where is thy God?
they unto me have said.
11 My soul O wherfore dost thou bow
thy self down heavily;
And wherfore in me makest thou
a stirr tumultuously?

Hope thou in God, because I shall
with praise him yet advance:
Who is my God, he also is

PSAL: XLIIII. To the chief mus [...]cian for the sonns of Korah Maschil.

WEe with our eares have heard. O God
our fathers have us told:
What workes thou wroughtest in their dayes
even in the times of old.
2 How thy hand drave the heathen out.
and planted them thou hast:
How thou the people did'st afflict,
and out thou didst them cast.

3 For by their sword they did not get.
the lands possession:
[Page 83]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.

4 Thou ar [...] my King, O mighty God▪
thou  [...] the s [...]me  [...]:
For Jacob be commandement
deliverances procure.
5 Through thee as with an horn wee will
push down our enemies:
Wee through thy Name will tread them down
that up against us rise.

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.
7 But thou  [...]st from our foes us sav'd,
and  [...]arers put to sh [...]me.
8 In God wee all d [...]y-long do boast,
and praise for ay thy Name.

(2)9 But now thou hast forsaken us,
and shame upon us c [...]st:
Nor with our Military troopes,
gone forth to battle hast.
10 Back from before the enemy
thou  [...]ak'st us to recoyl:
They also that our haters bee,
do for themselves us spoyl.

[Page 84]
11 Thou hast us given, like as sheep,
to slaughter that belong:
Thou hast us also scattered,
the heathen folk among.
12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
for that which is no gain:
And by their prices no increase
of riches dost obtain.

13 Unto our neighbours a reproach,
ev'n us thou dost expose:
A scorn wee are and mocking stock,
to them that us inclose.
14 Among the heathen people thou
a by-word dost us make:
Also among the Nations,
at us their Heads they shake.

15 Before mine eyes continually
abideth my disgrace:
And likewise with confounding shame,
o're-covered is my face.
16 By reason of the scorners voyce.
who doth with sc [...]ffs despight:
By reason of the enemy,
and self-revenging wight.

(3)17 Though all of this bee come on us,
wee have not thee forgot:
Likewise gainst thy covenant,
 [...] have wee not.
18 Our he [...]rt is not turn'd back, nor have
our steps from thy way stray'd▪
[Page 85]19 Though us thou break'st in  [...] place
and hid'st us in deaths shade.

20 Had wee forgot Gods Name▪ or  [...]o
a strange god stretcht our hands▪
21 Shall not God search it  [...]
hearts secrets understands,
22 Yea wee▪ for thee, are all day kil'd:
counted as sheep to slay.
23 Awake why sleep'st thou LORD [...]  [...]ise
cast us not of [...] for ay.

24 Thy countenance away from us
O wherfore doest thou hide?
Why dost thou mindless of our griefe,
and sore distress abide.
25 For down to dust our soul is bow'd,
to th'earth our bellies cleave.
26 O thou that art out help arise,
in mercy us relieve.

And bowing down him worship thou,

12 Thou shall be present with a gift

The rich amongst the people they

13 The daughter of the King shee is

And with imbroyderies of gold.

14 Shee is led in unto the King,

Her fellow Virgins following her,

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

16 In their stead who thy fathers were,

17 Thy Name remembred I will make
through generations all:
Therfore for ever and for aye,

To the chief musician, for the sonns of Korah A song upon Alem [...]th.

GOD is our refuge strength & shield,
in troubles very neer.
2 Therfore we will not be afraid,
though th'earth removed were:
Though mountains move to midst of Seas.
3 Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be, though at their waves,
the mountains trembling shake.

4 There is a River, streams wherof,
make glad the Citty of God:
The holy place where the most high
doth settle his aboad.
5 God is within the midst of her,
be moved shall not shee:
When early morning doth appear
God shall her helper bee.

6 The n [...]tions made tumultuous noise,
the Kingdomes moved were:
Hee did give forth his thundering voyce,
the earth did melt with fear.
7 The God of armies is with us,
the everlasting J [...]h:
The God of J [...]ob is for us,
a refuge high, Selah.

8 O come ye forth behold the works,
 [...] which  [...]:
The fearfull desolations,
[Page 89]which on the earth he brought.
6 Unto the utmost ends of th'e [...]rth,
warrs into peace he turns:
The spear he cuts, the bow he breaks,
in fire the charriot burns.

10 Be still and know that I am God,
exalted be will I,
Among the heathen: through the earth
I'le be extolled high.
11 The God of Armies is with us,
the everlasting Jah:
The God of Jacob is for us,
a refuge high Selah.

PSALM XLVII. To the chief musician, A Psalm for the sonns of Korah.

Princes of people gathered bee:
For shields of th'earth to God belong,
Exalted mightily is hee.

PSAL: XLVIII. To the chief musician, A song and psalm for the sonns of Korah.

GReat is Jehovah, greatly hee
is to be praised still:
Within the Citty of our God,
within his holy hill.
2 Mount Sion's fairly situate,
the joy of th'earth so wide:
The Citty of the mighty King,
is on the Northern side.

3 God in her pallaces is known,
to be a refuge high.
4 For lo the Kings assembled were,
they past together by.
5 They saw and so they marvieled
they greatly troubled were,
They also hasted fast away.
6 Fear felt upon them there,

As on a woman travailing,
[Page 91]they such a paine did find.
7 In pieces thou the Tarshish ships,
dost break with Eastern wind.

(2)8 I'th Citty of the LORD of hoasts,
wee saw as we heard say:
I'th Citty of our God, God will
establish it for ay.
8 O God our thoughts have been upon
thy free benignity:
And that within the middest of
thy house of Sanctity.

10 According to thy Name O God.
so is thy praise unto.
Th'ends of the earth, thy right hand's full
of righteousness also.
11 O let mount Sion joyfull be!
and triumph let them make:
They that of Judah daughters are,
ev'n for thy judgments sake.

12 About the hill of Sion walk,
and go about her yee;
And do ye reckon up thereof
the tow'rs that therin bee.
13 Doe yee full well her bulwarks mark,
her pallaces view well:
That to the generation
to come, ye may it tell.

14 Because this God he is our God,
for ever, and for  [...]y:

PSAL: XLIX. To the chief mus [...]cian, A Psalm for [...] Kor [...]h.

HEar this all people & give ear,

Of understanding much shall bee

10 For he doth see that wise men dy,
the fool, and bruitish too:
Do perish, and their rich estate,
to others leave they doe.

11 They think their houses are for ay,
to generations all:
Their dwelling places, and their lands
they by their names do call.
12 But man in honour being set;
abideth not a night:
But he becometh like unto
the beasts that perish quite.

13 This way of theirs their folly is;
yet thei [...] posterity▪
Delighting in that which they say,
approve it vehemently.
14 Like sheen so are they laid in grave,
dea [...]h shall them feed upon;
And th'upright over them i'th morn

And from the pl [...]ce wheras they dwell,
the beauty which they have.
Shall utterly consume away,
within the rotting grave.
15 But surely God redemption
unto my soul will give▪
[Page 94]Even from the graves prevailing powr, Selah
for he will me receive.

(3)16 Be not afraid when as a man,
in wealth is made to grow.
And when the glory of his house,
abundantly doth flow.
17 For when as hee doth come to dy,
nought shall he take away:
Nor shall there after him descend,
his glorious array.

18 Although in his life time, his soul
for blessed he did take:
And men will praise thee when as thou
much of thy self dost make.
19 Hee shall go to his fathers race,
they never shall see light:
In honour man and knows not, is
like beasts that perish quite.

PSALM L. A Psalm of As [...]ph.

THe Mighty God Jehovah spake,
and he the earth doth call:
Even from the rising of the Sun,
therof unto the fall.
2 The mighty God hath clearly  [...] ▪

[Page 95]
3 Our God shall come & not be still,
fyre wasteth in his fight:
And round about him shall be rays'd,
a storm of wondrous might.
4 To judg his people he from high,
calls heavens and earth likewise.
5 Bring me my saints that cov'nant make
with me by sacrifice.

6 And th'heavens shall his righteousness,
apparently make known:
Because the mighty God himself,
is righteous judg alone.
7 Hear O my people, and I'le speak▪
yea I will testifie:
Also to thee O Israel,
I ev'n thy God am I.

8 As for thy sacrifices I
will find no fault with thee:
Or thy burnt offrings to have been,
continually with mee.
9 I'le take no bullocks nor he-goats,
from hous or fields of thine.
10 For forrest-beasts, and cattell all,
on thousand hills  [...]re mine.

12 If I were hung [...]y I would not

13 Of bullocks eat the flesh, or drink
the blood of goats will I?
14 Thanks offer unto God and pay
thy vowes to him most high.
15 And in the day of sore distress,
do thou unto him cry:
And I'le deliver thee, and then
thou shalt me glorify.

(2)16 But to the wicked God doth say,
why doest thou mention make▪
Of statutes mine, why in thy mouth,
shouldst thou my cov'nant take?
17 Wheras thou dost instruction hate,
and my words from thee cast.
18 When thou didst see a thief with him
then thou consented hast:

And likewise with adulterers,
thy part hath been the same.
19 Thy mouth to evill thou dost give;
and guile thy tongue doth frame.
20 Thou sittest down, and so against
thy brother dost declaime:
The son of thine own mother thou
with slander dost defame.

21 Th [...]se things thou didst. I silent was▪
 [...] thought [...]t of me likewise,
 [...] thy self; I'le thee reproove.
[Page 97]and rank them in thine eyes.
22 Now therfore this consider yee,
that God forgotten have:
Left that in pieces I you tear,
and there be none to save.

23 Who so doth prayses sacrifice,
hee glorifieth mee:
Who orders right his way likewise,
shall Gods salvation see.

PSAL: LI. To the chief musician, A Psalm of David when Nathan the Prophet came to him after hee had gone in to Bathsheba.

HAve mercy upon mee O God,

According to thy mercyes great,

2 O wash me throughly from my guilt,
and from my sin me clear.

And eke all mine iniquities,

(2)10 Clean heart O God in me create,

12 Nor from me take thy holy Spirit.
restore the joy to mee
Of thy salvation, and uphold

13 Then will I teach thy wayes to those

And by this meanes shall sinners bee

14 O God, God of my health set mee
free from blood-guiltiness:
[Page 99]And so my tongue shall joyfully,
sing of thy righteousness.

15 LORD open thou my lips, and forth
my mouth thy praise shall show.
16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice,
I would it else bestow,
Burnt offrings thou delights not in.
17 Of God the sacrifice,
A broken spirit, a contrite heart
God thou wilt not dispise.

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

And whole burnt offring; then they shall

And thou shalt make me wisdom know,
Within the secret of my heart.
7 O from my sin me purifie
With hysop, clean I shall be so:
O wash thou mee, and so shall I,
In whiteness go beyond the snow.

(2)8 Of joy fullness and gladness make

That so the bones which erst thou brake,
Again they gladly may rejoyce.
9 Hide from my sinns thy face apart,
Blot out all mine iniquities.

And like unto a rasor sharp,

3 Thou lovest evill more then good,
more to speak lies then right.
4 O guilefull tongue thou dost in all
devouring words delight.
5 God shall likewise for evermore.

Hee shall thee take away, and pluck
thee from thy dwelling place.

Out of the land of th'living ones.
hee also will root thee. Selah
6 The just shall fear and laugh at him,
when they this thing shall see.
7 Lo, this man made not God his strength
but put his trust upon.
His store of wealth: he strengthned was,
in his transgression.

8 But in the house of God am I,
like as an Olive green:
In Gods benignitie for ay,

9 Because that thou this thing hast done,
I'le praise thee evermore:
And on thy name will wayt, for this

PSAL: LIII. To the chief musician upon Mahalath Masch [...]l; A Psalm of David.

THe fool in's heart saith ther's no God

Abominable sinn they doe:
that doth good there is none.
2 God from the heavens looked down▪
on sonns of men to see,
If any that doth understand
that seeketh God there bee.

3 They altogether filthy are,
each one is backward gone:
There is not any that doth good,
no not so much as one.
4 The workers of iniquities,
have they no knowledge all?
Who eat my people even as bread,
on God they do not call.

5 They greatly fear'd where no fear was:
'gainst thee in camp that lies
His bones God scattered, and them sham'd
for God doth them despise.
6 O who is hee that graciously
to Israel will fulfill,
His manifold salvations▪
from out of Sion hill?

When God his people shall return,
that have been captive led:
Then Jacob shall therin rejoyce,
and Israel shall be glad.

2 God hear my prayer, hark to the words

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

4 Lo God's mine help, the LORD's with them
that do my soul sustain.
5 He to my foes shall ill reward:
them in thy trueth restrain.
9 I will unto thee sacrifice,
with voluntaryness:
I will thy Name confess O LORD,
because that good it is.

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 [...] M [...]schil; A Psalm of David.

I in my meditation,
do make a noise and mourn.

3 By reason of the enimies voyce,
and vile one that opprest:
For wickedness on me they cast,
and me in wrath detest.
4 Mine heart in me is pained sore,
death's terrours me surprize.
5 Trembling and fear do on me come,
and horrour on me seize.

6 Then did I say, O who to mee
wings of a dove will give!
That I might f [...] away▪ and might

Mischief also and sorrow d [...]e,

11 In midst therof ther's wickedness.
deceit doth there abide:
Likewise out of the streets therof,
guile turneth not aside.
12 For't was no foe reproached mee.
I could it then abide:
Nor did my hater vaunt o're mee,

Which wast to me my special guide,

14 Wee did together counsell take,

And wee did walk into the house

sink down quick into hell:
For wickedness amongst them is,
in places where they dwell.

(3)16 But as for mee, I'le call on God,

17 At evening, morn, and noon I'le pray
and I aloud will call,

Because that they no changes have,

20 Gainst such as be at peace with him,

Because they watch this soul of mine,

7 What shall they thus escape away,

O God in wrath without delay,
the people down depress.

8 Of all my wandrings to and fro,

So they that God in Jacob rules,

14 And they at evening shall return
a noise as dogs shall make:
And so about the Citty round,
a compass they shall take.
15 And they shall wander up and down,
to seek what they may eat:
And if they be not satisfi'd,
then shall they grudg therat.

16 But I will sing thy powr; and shout,
thy kindness in the morn:
For thou my tow'r and refuge art,
when as I am forlorn.
17 A psalm of praise I will sing forth,
O thou my strength to thee:
For God is mine high tower, the God
of mercy mine is hee.

Do thou the breaches of it heal,

PSAL: LXIII. A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Iudah.

O God thou art my God, I will

My soul doth thirst for thee, thee still
my flesh doth much desire.
I'th land wheras no waters bee,
that thirsty is and dry.
2 As in thine house I saw, to see,

3 Because thy loving kindness more

Then life it self: my lips therfore,
thy praises forth shall tell.
4 Thus I'le thee bless continually,

In watches of the night withall

7 Because thou art my help, I will
rejoyce in thy wings shade.
8 My soul cleaves close unto thee still:
thy right hand hath me staid.
9 But they that seek my soul to wast,
down under earth shall go.
10 Slain by the sword, they shall be cast

PSAL: LXIIII. To the chief musician A Psalm of David.

From th'in [...]rection of all them,

3 Who have their tongue so sharply whet
as if it were a sword:
And bend their bows to shoot their shafts,
a very bitter word.
4 That they in secrecie may shoot
the perfect man to hit;
They suddenly do shoot at him,
nor are affraid of it.

5 Themselves they in a matter ill,
encourage how they may
Lay snares in secret: 'tis their talk
who shall them see? they say.
6 They do search out iniquitie,
a search exact they keep:
The inward thought of every man,
and heart is also deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them a shaft;
their wounds be suddain shall.
8 So as they shall their own tongue make
upon themselves to fall.
All that them see away shall flee.
9 All men shall fear and tell
The workes of God, for of his deed
they shall consider well.

10 The just shall in the LORD be glad,

And they that upright ar [...] in heart,

But as for our transgressions,

And that he may dwell in thy courts

For with the good things of thy house

And with the holy things likewise

9 Thou visit'st th'earth, and warrest it.
with Gods flood water-fill'd,
Thou makst it rich: thou corn preparst.
when so thou hast it till'd.

10 Herridges richly waterest thou,
her furrows thou sets fast:
With showres thou makst it soft to bee,
her springing blest thou hast.
11 Thou with thy goodnes dost the year▪

Also the paths where thou dost tread

12 On pastures of the wilderness

And girt with joy on every side

And sing unto thee, they shall sing

5 Come hither and the workes of God Selah.
which he hath wrought O see:
In doing to the sonns of men

6 Hee 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.
7 Hee ruleth by his power for aye,

Let not those that rebellious are
lift up themselves on high. Selah.

Of Rams the incense; bullocks eke

16 Come hither harken unto mee,

And what he hath done for my soul,

17 With mouth I cry'd to him, and with

18 If in my heart I sin regard,
the LORD will not hear mee.
19 But now assuredly God hath
vouchsafed me to hear:

O let them joyfull bee:
Before Gods face let them also,

4 To God, sing, to his name sing praise,

Extoll ye him by his name Jah:

5 A father of the fatherless,

When through the desart wilderness

In which God loves to dwell, the LORD

With them as in his holy place,

For men, yea for rebellious ones,
thou diddest gifts receive.

With benefits, the LORD be blest,

20 The God he of salvation is,

And to the LORD JEHOVAH doth

Of him that in his trespasses

again from Bashan hill:
My people from the depths of seas
bring back again I will.
23 That thou mayst dip thy foot in blood,
thy dogs their tongues likewise,
May be imbrued in the same
blood of thine enemies.

Kings shall bring gifts to thee.

With peoples calves, and him that doth

O never suffer them who doe

10 In fasts I wept, and spent my soul,

After thy mercyes multitude,

17 And from thy servant hide not thou

Because that I in trouble am,

18 O draw thou nigh unto my soul.
redeem thou it likewise:
Deliver me, because of them

19 Thou my reproach hast known, also

They gave me vineger to drink,

22 Their table let before their face

And that let be a trap, which should

23 Their eyes let darkned be likewise,

With trembling also make their loynes

24 Pour out thine ire on them, let soi [...]

iniquity more add:
Into thy righteousness for them

THE THIRD BOOK OF PSALMS.

PSAL: LXXIII. A Psalm of Asaph.

SUre God is good to Israel:
ev'n to the clean in heart.
2 But yet my feet had almost slipt▪
my steps did well-nigh start.
3 For at the fools envious was:
to see lewd men in pe [...]ce.
4 For without bands through death they pass,
their strength doth nothing cease.

5 Like other mean men they are not,
 [...]n toylsom miseries:
Nor stricken with like plagues are they,
as other mortalls bee.
6 Pride therfore like a chain doth sence,
them on each side about:
And like a garment violence
doth cover them throughout.

7 Out of the fullness of their fate
extended are their eyes:
They do enjoy more prosprous state
then what their hearts devise.
8 Corrupt they are and wickedly
speak guile; they proudly talk.
[Page 143]Their mouth the heavens doth defy,
their tongue through th'earth doth walk.

(2)10 Therfore his people hitherto
do  [...] themselves about;
And waters of their cup o're-flow,
that are to them wrung out.
11 And they have said how can it bee
that God this thing should know.
Is there in him that is most high
herof the knowledg too▪

12 Behold th'ungodly men are these,
yet have tranquillity:
They do within the world increase,
in rich abillity.
13 Sure I have washt my heart in vain,
and hands in innocence:
14 For every day I plag [...]'d have been,
each morn with chastizments.

15 If I should say that I will make
this declaration:
Loe of thy sonns I should offend
their generation.
16 When as I thought this thing to know
it was too hard for mee.
17 Till I did to Gods Temple go
where I their end did see.

(3)18 Surely in places slippery,
these men thou placed hast:
To desolations suddenly▪
[Page 144]thou doest them also cast.
19 As in a moment how are they
brought to destruction▪
And how are they con [...]'d away,
with sad confusion?

20 Like to a dream, as when a man
awaking doth arise.
When thou awak'st their Image then
O LORD thou shalt despise.
21 My heart with grief was leaven'd so,
prickt were my reines in m [...]e.
22 So foolish I, and did not know:
like as a beast with thee.

(4)23 Nevertheless continually.
before thee I do stand:
Thou hast upheld me stedfastly,
also by my right hand.
24 Thou with thy prudent counsell shalt
direction to me give;
Up afterward also thou shalt,
to glory me receive.

25 In heav'n above but thee alone,
who is it that I have?
And there is nothing th'earth upon
beside thee that I crave.
26 This flesh of mine, also my heart
doth fill me altogether:
The Mighty God he is my part,
and strength of heart for ever.

[Page 145]
27 For lo, they that are far from thee.
shall utterly decay;
All that a who [...]ng go from t [...]ee
thou shalt consume away▪
28 But as for mee, it's good that I
neer unto God repair:
I do on God the LORD rely,
thy workes all to declare.

PSAL: LXXIIII. Maschil of Asaph.

O God why hast thou cast us  [...]?
thy rage why dost thou keep▪
For evermore thus smoaking out,
against th [...] pasture sheep▪
2 Mind thou thy church thou boughtst of  [...]
ev'n thy possessions  [...]od.
Which thou redeemd'st: this S [...]ons mount
wherin thou hast aboad.

3 Unto the lasting ruinous-wast [...].
lift up thy foot on high:
All that the fo [...] hath  [...]illy done,

4 Within the congregations
wherin thy people met,
Thine enemies roar: their ensignes they
for tok [...]ns have up set.

5 The m [...]n that axes on thick trees
did lift up, had renown▪
6 But now with  [...]x and m [...]ules at once
they beat their carv'd workes down.
[Page 146]7 They fy [...]ed have thy Sanctuary;
thy Name its dwelling place
By casting down unto the ground,
they do prophanely raze.
8 Let us together them destroy:
thus in their heart they said,
Gods Synagogues throughout the  [...]
all in the flames they laid.

(2)9 Our signes wee see not ther's no more,
a Prophet us among:
Nor with us any to be found
that understands how long.
10 How long yet shall th'oppressing foe,
O Mighty God defame?
Thine enemy for evermore,
shall he blaspheme thy name?

11 Why dost thou hold thine hand? pluck from
thy  [...]oss [...]m thy right hand.
12 God is my King of old, and workes
salvation 'midst the land.
13 Thou didst by thine Almighty powr,
divide the Sea assunder:
The Dr [...]gons heads in  [...] thou
didst break the waters under.

14 The heads of the Leviathan
thou into pieces brake
To people that in des [...]rts dwell [...]
 [...] thou didst him make.
15 Thou cla [...]'st the  [...] the flood
 [...] up fonds of  [...]ight.

[Page 147]
16 Thine is the day and night is thine:
thou  [...]un prepa [...], and light.
17 Of all the borders of the earth▪
foundations layd'st thou fast:
The Summer and the winter both
the same thou formed hast.

(3)18 Remember this the enemy doth
reproachfully-defame
Jehovah: and the foolish  [...]olk,
blasphemed have thy name.
19 O do not to the multitude
thy Turtles soul deliver:
The congregation of thy poor,
forg [...]t not thou for ever.

20 Unto thy Cov'nant have respect;
for where dark places bee,
Throughou [...] the earth▪ th [...]y filled are
with  [...] of crueltie.
21 O never  [...] th'oppressed one,
return away with th [...]e.
O  [...]et the poor and needy one
give prayse unto thy name.

22 Arise O God plead thine own cause▪
 [...] thou in memorie,
How  [...] by day  [...] foolish man,

23 Thine enemies voyce f [...]rget not thou▪
the  [...] of those▪
Continually ascends on high.

To the chief musician [...] Psalm or Song of Asaph.

O God to thee give thanks wee do,
wee do give thanks to thee:
How that thy Name is neer also,
thy wonders shew to bee▪
2 When I receive th'assembly shall,
judg uprightly I will.
3 The earth melts and its dwellers all,
I stay its pillars still. Selah.

4 I said unto the foolish ones,
deal not so foolishly:
Also unto the wicked ones,
lift not the horn on high.
5 Lift yee not up your horn on high;
with stifned neck speak not.
6 For from East, west [...] or wilderness,
promotion is not got.

7 But God is judg: one he sets up,
another down doth tread.
8 For in the LORDs hand is a cup,
the wine is also red:
Of mixture full, hee poures therout:
but yet the wicked ill
That are on earth, the dregs therof
wring out, and drink them shall.

9 But as concerning mee alwayes,
I will declare  [...]broad:
And I will sing a psalm of praise,
to him that's Jacob. God.
[Page 149]10 Of men ungodly all the horns
also cut off will I:
But of the righteous ones the horns
shall be exalted high.

PSAL: LXXVI. To the chief musician, on Negi [...]oth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

IN Judah God is known: his Name
is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his Tent:
in Sion he doth dwell.
3 Hee arrowes of the bow there brake,
shield, sword, and battell too. Selah.
4 More bright and wondrous excellent
then mounts of prey art thou.

5 They that are stout of heart are spoil'd
they slept their sleep outright:
And none of them have found their hands,
that were the men of might.
6 O thou that art of Jacob God,
as thy rebuke outpast,
The charriot and the horse also,
to sleep of death are cast.

7 Thou even thou art to be fear'd!
O who is he therfore,
When once thou angry art that can
thy presence stand before?
8 Thou didst out from the heav'ns above
cause judgment to be heard;
[Page 150]The earth also in silence was.
exceedingly  [...].

9 When is that God himself arose
his judgment to dispence.
Of all the  [...] ones of the earth
to be the safe defence. Selah
10 Assuredly the wrath of  [...]

And the remainder of their wrath
the same thou shalt restrain.

11 Vow to the LORD your God, and pay:
all that about him  [...].
And bring ye an oblation.
to him that is our FEAR.
12 The spirit that in Princes is.
assunder cut shall hee:
Unto the Kings on earth that are,
hee shall most dreadfull bee.

PSAL: LXXVII. To the chief musician, to Iedu [...], A Psalm of Asaph.

MY voyce was to the mighty God,
yea cryed out I have;
My voyce was to the mighty God,
and ear to me he gav [...].
2 In my distress I sought the LORD,
my sore  [...] in the night.
And cea [...]d not▪ my soul also
refused comfort quite.

[Page 151]3 I did remember God, likewise
disquieted was I:
I did complain, my spirit also
 [...]'rewhelmd was heavily. Selah.
4 Awaking thou dost hold mine eyes:
I cannot speak for feares.
5 I have considered dayes of old.
of ancient times the yeares.

(2)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.
7 For ever will the LORD cast off▪
and pleas [...] will he not bee?
8 His tender mercy is it c [...]ast
to perpetuitie?

His promise doth it fayl for aye [...]
9 W [...]t to bee gracious
Hath God forgotten? and  [...]hut up
in wrath his bowells thus? Selah.
* 10 Then said I this my weakness is,
yet to remembrance I
Will call the yeares of the right hand,
of him that is most high.

11 I will unto remembrance call,
the actions of the LORD:
Thy wondrous workes of ancient time▪
I surely will record.
12 I'le  [...]use of all thy workes likewise,
and of thy doings talk.
[Page 152]13 Within the Temple is the way
O God, where thou dost walk.

(3)14 What God so great as our God is?
works wonderfull that are
Thou God hast done; among the folk
thou dost thy strength declare.
15 Thy people thou from thraldom hast
with thy strong arme set free,
Of Jacob, and of Joseph too
those that the children bee. Selah

16 Thee did the waters see, O God,
thee did the waters see:
They were afraid▪ the deeps also,
could not but troubled bee.
17 With waters were the clouds pour'd forth
the skies a sound out sent:
Also thine arrowes on each side,
abroad dispersed went.

18 Thy thunders voyce in heaven was:
thy lightnings they did make
The world enlightned, and the earth
did tremble and did shake.
19 Thy wayes i'th sea, thy paths and steps,
unknown are in the deep.
20 By Moses  [...]nd by Arons hand,
thou ledst thy folk like sheep.

PSAL. LXXVIII Ma [...]il of Asaph.

GIve  [...]istning ear unto my Law,
yee people that are mine:
[Page 153]Unto the sayings of my mouth,
do you your ear encline.
2 My mouth I'le ope in parables.
I'le speak things his of old:
Which we have heard & known; and which
our fathers have us told.

4 Them from their children wee'l not hide,
but shew the age to come,
The LORD his praise; his strength and workes
of wonder he hath done.
5 In Jacob he a witness set,
a Law in Israel,
Hee gave, which he our fathers charg'd
they should their children tell.

6 That th'age to come & children which
are to be born might know;
That they who should  [...]rise, the same
might to their children show.
7 That they upon the Mighty God
their confidence might set:
Gods works, and his commandements
might keep, and not forget.

8 And might not like their fathers bee,
a cross, stiff race, a r [...]ce
That set not right their hearts; nor firme
with God their spirit was.

(2)9 The armed  [...]o [...]ms of Ephr [...]im,
 [...] with th [...]ir bow,
Did turn their back the day wherin,
they did to battle go.
[Page 154]10 Gods cov'nant they observed not,
to walk in a Law  [...]eal'd.
11 His works and wo [...]den they forgot,
 [...] to them prescrib'd.

12 Hee many a wondrous thing did work
before their  [...] eyes,
Within the land of Egipt seen,
in  [...] field lik [...]wise.
13 Assunder he the sea did  [...],
and caus'd them through to pass:
And he the waters made to stand,
th [...] as an heap it was.

14 With cloud by day, with fyre by night
15  [...] them▪ Rocks he clave,
In wilderness, as from great deeps,
drink unto them he gave,
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)17 Moreover they did add yet more
against him for to sin:
By their provoaking the most high
the wilderness within.
18 Morover they within their heart
by tempting God did tr [...]e,
By asking  [...] for meat
their l [...]st to  [...].

19 And spake against the mighty God,
and said wh [...] is God  [...],
[Page 155]Within the des [...]rt wilderness
to  [...]?
20 Lo he th [...]  [...] thence,
 [...] out, and stream [...] did flow▪
Can he  [...] people  [...]esh provide?
 [...]

21 The LORD heard, he was wrath for this,
so kindled wa [...] a fyre,
Gainst Jacob: and gainst Israel,
there c [...]me up wrathfull  [...].
22 For they in God believed not:
nor in his  [...]ealth did hope:
23 Though from above he charg'd the clouds
and dores of heav'n set  [...]:

24 On them he Manna  [...]aind to eat;
and gave them heavens wheat.
25 Each man of them eat Angels food:
to'th full he sent them meat.
26 I'th heav'ns he made ye east wind blow
brought south wind by his powr.
27 He flesh on them like dust: wing'd foules
like sand of seas did showr.

28 And in the middest of their camp
he caused it to fall,
Ev'n round about on every side
their dwelling places  [...].
29 So they did eat they filled were
abundantly also:
For that which w [...]s their own desire,
he did on them bestow.

[Page 156]
(4)30 They from their hasting  [...]
were not  [...]estrang'd at all,
But while their meat was in their mouth,
31 Gods wrath did on them  [...],
And slew their fat on [...], and smo [...]e down
the choise of Israels men.
32 Yet for all this they sinn'd, nor did
believe his wonders then.

33 Therfore in vanity the dayes
 [...]e of their life did spend:
And he their yeares brought hastily
unto a fearfull end.
34 When he them flew, then after him
they sought with their desire,
And they return'd and after God,
they early did enquire.

35 Likewise that God was their strong rock,
they call'd to memorie:
And how that their redeemer was
the mighty God most high.
36 Yet with their mouth they flattered him
and to him their tongues ly'd.
37 For right their heart was not with him,
nor did in's cov'nant 'bide.

38 But full of mercy he forgave
their sin, and stroyd them not;
Yea oft he turn'd his wrath aside,
nor rays'd all's anger hot.
39 For he recalled unto mind,
[Page 157]how that frayl flesh they were:
And as it were a passing wind,
that doth no more appear.

(5)40 How oft in desart vext the [...] him,
and grief put him upon?
41 Yea they did turn, tempt God, and did
stint Israels holy one.
42 His hand they did not keep in mind,
nor on the day they thought,
Wherin he from the enemy
for them deliverance wrought.

43 How he his signes miraculous,
in Egypt wrought likewise:
And also in the field of Zo [...]n,
his fearfull prodigies▪
44 Also how he their rivers had
converted into blood▪
And so as that they could not drink
the waters of the flood.

45 Amongst them which did them devo [...]
he sent forth divers flyes:
And to destroy them, them amongst
he sent the frogs likewise.
46 He gave their fruit to th'catterpillars▪
to Locusts eke their toyl.
47 He did their vines destroy with hayl:
with frost their figtrees spoyl.

48 Their cattle he delivered up
unto the hayl also;
[Page 158]And he their hea [...]ds of cattle  [...]
hot thunder-bolts unto.
49 He cast on them  [...]erce ire▪ and wrath,
and indignation strong;
And sore distress, by sending forth
ill Angels them among.

50 He made a way unto his wrath,
their soul he did not save
From death, but unto pestilence,
their lively ones he gave.
51 He within Egypt land also
the first born all did smite:
Those that within the tents of  [...]
were chiefest of their might.

(6)52  [...]ut like a flock of sheep  [...]e made
his people forth to go:
And in the desart like a flock,
he guided them also.
53 In safety he them led likewise.
so that they did not fear;
But in the sea their enemies,
he overwhelmed there.

54 The border of his holy place
them therunto be brought:
Yea even to this mountain which,
by his right hand he bought.
55 Fore them he cast the heathen out,
he did their lot divide
By line; and Isr'els tribes he made
in their tents to abide▪

[Page 159]
(7)56 Yet they did tempt, and bitterly
did grieve the God most high:
Also his Testimonies they
kept  [...] attentively.
57 But like their fathers, back they turn'd
and faithlesness did show:
They turned were aside ev'n like
unto a warping bow.

58 For the [...]r to anger did provo [...]k
him with their places high:
And with their graven Images,
mo [...]'d him to jealousy.
59 God hearing this, was wrath, & loath'd
Isr'el with hatred great.
60 So Shiloah [...] tent he left [...] the rent
which he among men set.

61 And he delivered up his strength
into captivity:
Also into the enemies hand
his glorious Majesty.
62 To th'sword he gave his folk: and was
wroth with his heritage
63 Their young men fyre devour'd their maids
none gave in marriage.

64 Their Priests fell by the sword▪ likwise
their widdows did no [...] weep▪
65 Thou did the LORD  [...]s one arise
aw [...]ned out of sleep.
Like as a strong man  [...]
[Page 160]66 doth shout. Hee also smot
His foes  [...] so gave he them
an everlasting  [...].

(8)67 Then he did Josephs  [...]ent refuse▪
nor Ephraims tribe approv'd.
68 But did the tribe of Judah chuse:
mount Sion which he lov'd.
69 His holy place he builded then,
like pallaces on high:
Like to the earth which he did set
to perpetuity.

70 Hee of his servant David then
di [...] his election make,
And from the place of folding in
the sheep he did him take.
71 From following of ye ews with young.
he did him then advance:
His people Jacob for to feed,
Isr'el his heritance.

72 S [...] he them fed according to
his hearts integrity:
And by his skilfullnes 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 heapes
Jerusalem have pil'd.
[Page 161]2 Thy  [...] bodies that are dead,
they given have for meat
To th'fowls of heav'n▪ to th'beasts of th'earth
flesh of thy saints to eat.

3 Their blood they have forth poured round
about Jerusalem;
Like unto warers: and there was
none for to bury them.
4 To those that near unto us dwell

A scoffing and a scorn to them,

For ever  [...] shall thy jealousy

6 Upon the heathen pour thy wrath,

Upon the kingdoms that have not

7 Because they Jacob have devour'd,
and they his dwelling place,
To utter desolation

4 LORD God of  [...], how long wilt thou

5 Thou makest them to feed upon

And giv'st them many teares to drink.
6 Our neighbour [...] strife likewise

7 O God of hoasts turn us again,

(2)8 From Egypt thou hast brought a Vine,

So that all those do pluck at her

And wild beasts of the field, the same
devouringly destroy.
14 Wee do beseech thee to return,
O God of hoasts, incline
To look from heaven, and behold,
and visit thou this Vine▪

15 The Vineyard which thou hast also

That branch lik [...]wise which for thy selfe

They perish do, and that because

17 Upon the man of thy right hand,

Upon the son of man whom thou

9 There shall not any strange God be:

Nor unto any forreign God.
thou bowing down shalt fall.

10 I am the LORD thy God, who thee
from land of Egypt led:
Thy mouth ope wide, and thou by mee
with plenty shalt be fed.
11 My people yet would not give ear,
unto the voyce I spake:
And Israel would not in mee,
their full contentment take.

12 So their perverse intents of heart
I left them up to have:
And let them walk on in their way
which their own counsells gave.
13 O that my people unto mee
obedient had bin!
And O that Israel he had
walked my wayes within.

[Page 167]
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.
15 The  [...] of the LORD to him
obedience should have f [...]ynd:
But unto  [...]
their time should have remaynd.

16 And with the finest of the wheat

THe mighty God doth stand within

From thy fierce indignation

Convert thou us, and do thou make
Thine anger towards us to flake.

Wilt thou thine indignation
Draw out to generation?

For I am poor, afflicted sore,
and needy too am I.
2 In safety keep my soul,
for gracious am I?
My God save thou thy servant now,
that doth on thee rely.

[Page 175]
3 Jehovah gracious
O be thou unto mee▪
Because that I aloud do cry
through all the day to thee,
4 O make thy servants soul

Because that I O LORD, on high
do lift my soul to thee.

5 For thou O LORD art good,
to pardon proan also;
And to them all on thee that call
in mercy rich art thou.
6 Jehovah to thine ear
O let my pray'r have place▪
Attend unto the voyce also
of my requests for grace.

7 I'th day of my distress
to thee I will complain:
Because that thou will me unto

8 Amongst the gods O LORD

And no works are that may compare
with those are wrought by thee▪

(2)9. The Nations all O LORD,
whom thou hast made, the same
Shall come adore, ev'n thee before

10 Because thou Mighty art,
the things that thou hast done,
[Page 176]They wondrous are, and do declare
that thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD;
walk in thy Truth will I:
Thine holy Name to fear the same
mine heart in unionly.
12 With all mine heart I will,
O LORD my God thee prayse:
And also I will gloryfie
thy holy Name alwayes.

13 Because that unto mee
thy mercy doth excell
My soul set free hath been by thee
en'n from the lowest hell.
14 O God the proud arise
and violent troops 'gainst mee:
My soul seek they to take away,
and 'fore them set not thee.

15 But LORD a tender God▪
thou art, and gracious,
Long suffring too, in mercy thou,
and trueth art plenteous.
16 O turn to me thy face,
and on me mercy have:
Thy strength give thou thy servant now,
thine handmaids sonn O save.

17 Shew me a sign for good;
and let my haters see;
Bee sham'd also: because LORD thou
[Page 177]dost help and comfort mee.

LORD bow thine ear, hear me because
I needy am, and poor.
2 Because a gracious saint I am,

3 To me be gracious LORD, because
to thee I dayly cry.

4 Rejoyce thy servants soul, for LORD
to thee mine lift I do
5 Because Jehovah thou art good,

And to them all in mercy rich,

6 LORD hear my pray'r, attend the voyce

7 I'le in my troubles on thee call,

8 LORD none's like thee amongst ye gods
and like thy works none bee.
9 The Nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and (LORD) the same
Before thee shall bow down themselves,
and gloryfie thy Name.

10 Because thou Mighty art also,

11 Me O Jehovah teach thy way,
walk in thy tru [...]th will I▪
With reverence to fear thy Name
my heart in union ty.

(2)12 Thee LORD my God with all my heart
I will confess with prayse:
And likewise I will gloryfie
thy holy Name alwayes.
13 Because thy kindness mercifull,
is very great to mee:
And thou hast from the lowest hell
my soul delivered free.

14 O God the proud against me rise,
and troops of violent men
Have sought my soul: and they have not
thee placed before them.
15 But LORD thou art a tender God,
and very gratious▪
Long suffering too: in mercy thou
and trueth art plenteous.

16 O turn thou unto me the face,
and on me mercy have:
Unto thy servant give thy strength,
thine handmaids sonn O save.
17 Show me a sign for good, that they
which hate me, may it see.
And be asham'd, because LORD thou
dost help and comfort mee.

3 Because my soul is troubled so,
And to the grave my life draw's nigh.
4 Counted with them to'th pit that go:
As on that hath no strength am I.

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.
6 Thou hast me layd i'th pit most low▪
In darknesses within deep caves.
7 Hard on me lies thy wrath, also
Thou me afflictst with all thy waves. Selah

8 Men that of mine acquaintance bee,
Away from me thou farr hast put:
To them thou loathsom makest mee,
From comming forth I am up shut.
9 Because of mine affliction
Mine eye with mourning pines amay:
Jehovah, I thee call upon;
And to thee stretch my hands all day.

(2)10 Shew wonders to the dead wilt thou?
Shall dead men rise & thee confess? Selah
11 I'th grave wilt thou thy kindness show
In lost estate thy faithfullness?
12 Thy works that wonderfull have been,
What shall in darkness they be known▪
And shall thy righteousness be seen,
In that land of oblivion?

PSAL: LXXXIX. Mase [...]il of Ethan the Ezrahito.

THe mercyes of Jehovah sing
for evermore will I:
I [...]le with my mouth thy truth make known
to all posterity.
2 For I have said, that mercy shall
for ever be up-built:
Establish in the very hea [...]ns
thy faithfulness thou wilt.

 [...] With him that is my chosen one
a covenant made I have:
And to my servant David I
by oath this promise  [...].
[Page 182]4 To perpetuity thy seed
establish sure I will:
Likewise to generations all,
thy throne I'le build up still. Selah.

5 Also the heav'ns thy wonders LORD,
they shall with prayse confess:
Within th'assembly of the saints,
likewise thy faithfulness.
6 For to the LORD the heav'ns within
who is't we can compare?
Who's like the LORD among the sonns
of them that mighty are.

(2)7 God greatly in the Church of saints
is to be had in fear:
And to be reverenc't of all those
that round about him are.
8 Jehovah O thou God of hoasts,
strong Jah who's like to thee?
Thy faithfulness on every side
doth round encompass thee.

9 Over the raging of the sea
thou didst dominion bear:
When as the waves therof arise,
by thee they stilled are.
10 Like to one slain, thou broken hast
in pieces Rahab quite:
Thou hast disperst thine enemies,
ev'n by thine arm of might.

11 To thee the heavens do belong,
[Page 183]the earth likewise  [...] thee:
The world with fulness of the same
by thee they sounded bee.
12 The North together with the South
thou didst create the same:
Tabor likewise▪ and  [...]rmons hill,
rejoyce shall in thy Name.

(3)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.
14 The habitation of thy throne
justice and judgment are:
Their way before thy face to go
both grace and truth prepare.

15 O blessed are the people that
the joyfull sound do know:
LORD in thy countenances light,
they up and down shall go.
16 They all the day shall in thy Name
rejoyce exceedingly:
And in thy righteousness they shall
be lifted up on high.

17 Because that thou art of their strength
the glorious dignity:
Our horn eke shall exalted bee
in thy benignity.
18 Because Jehovah is to us
a safe protection;
And he that is our Soveraign,
[Page 184]is Isr'els holy-one.

(4)19 Then didst thou speak in vision
unto thy saint▪ and said,
On such an one as mighty is
I have salvation laid.
20 One chosen from the folk [...] I rais'd,
my servant David I
Have found, him I anoynted with
my oyle of sanctity.

21 With whom my hand shall stablish't be
mine arm him strengthen shall.
22 Also the enemy shall not
exact on him at all:
Nor shall the sonns of wickedness
afflict him any more.
23 Before him I'le beat down his foes,
and plague his haters sore.

24 My Mercy yet, and Verity,
with him shall be the same:
His horn likewise shall be on high
exalted in my name.
25 Morover I within the sea,
will cause his hand to stand;
Likewise within the rivers I
will se [...]e his right hand.

 [...]6 To me, my Father thou▪ my God,
and health's Rock, he shall cry.
27 And I will  [...] him my first born;
then  [...] Kings more high.
[Page 185]28 My mercy I will keep for him,
to times which ever last:
With him also my covenant
shall be establish't fast.

(5)29 Morover I his seed will make
for to endure alwayes:
And I his throne establish will
like as of heav'n the dayes.
30 If that his sonns forsake my Law,
and from my judgments swerve:
31 If they my Statutes break, and do
my precepts not observe;

32 Their bold transgressions with the tod,
then visit sore will I:
Likewise with stripes I visit will,
their cross iniquity.
33 My loving kindness yet from him
away take will not I:
Nor suffer will in any wise,
my Faithfullness to ly.

34 The Cov'nant I have made with him,
shall not by me be broke:
That which is gone out of my lips
I never will revoake.
35 On e [...]ware I by my Holiness
if I to David ly.
36  [...] assuredly shall last
to perpetuity.

And  [...] the Sun  [...] his throne▪
[Page 186]37 It like the moon shall stay:
And as in heav'n a witness true,
shall stablisht be for ay.

(6)38 But thou hast cast off, and abhor'd;
wroth with thine oynted one,
 [...]9 Thou art. Thy servants covenant
thou hast made it as none:
By casting it unto the ground,
thou hast prophan'd his crown.
40 His forts to ruin thou hast brought,
his hedges all broke down.

41 All spoyl him by the way that pass,
his neighbour's scorn hee's made.
42 His foes right hand thou hast extoll'd,
thou mak'st all's enemies glad.
43 And of his sword the edge thou turn'st
nor mak [...]st him stand in  [...]ight.
44 Thou dost his crown cast down to ground
and cease his glory bright.

45 And of his youthfull yeares the dayes,
thou hast diminished:
All over with confusion
thou hast him co [...]d.

(7)46 How long Jehovah, wilt thou hide
thy self, for eve [...]  [...]ore?
Like as a burning fyre  [...]ide
shall thy displeasure  [...]?
48 To thy remembrance do thou call,
how short a time have I:
[Page 187]Wherfore hast thou created all
mens sonns to vanity?

48 What man alive in strength so great,
that death he shall not see?
That from the hand of grave shall set
his soul at libertie? Selah.
49 Thy former loving kindnesses
O LORD, where are they  [...]?
Which in thy truth, and faithfullness▪
to David thou didst vow?

50 O LORD do thou thy servants scorn
unto remembrance call:
How in my brest I have it born,
from mighty people all.
51 Wherwith O LORD thine enemies,
do cast reproach upon:
Wherwith they do reproach the steps
of thine anoynted one.

52 O let Jehovah blessed bee
to generations all▪
Amen so let it be also
Amen, be so it shall.

THou Lord our stay, hast been an house

2 Before the mountains were begot,

3 Thou dost by bruising to decay

Yee sonns of men, then thou dost say,
return ye back agen.
4 For while a thousand yeares do last,
it is but in thy sight
As yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch by night.

5 Thou dost them bear away like as
a flood that overflowes:
Like sheep they are, and as the grass
which in the morning growes.
6 Which in the morn is flourishing,
and springing up doth rise;
Which is cut down at evening,
it withereth up likewise.

7 Because by reason of thine ire,
wee wasted are away:
And by thine angers burning fyre
wee speedily decay.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities
before thee in thy sight:
Our secret evills are likewise,
before thy faces light,

[Page 189]
9 Because that in thy fury all
our dayes away are rol'd:
Wee spend away our yeares withall▪
like as a tale that's told.
10 The time is threescore yeares &  [...],
which our years dayes contain:
And if through strength they fourscore been
their strength is grief & pain.

For soon its gon, and hence we pass.
11 O who is he doth know
Thine angers strength? according as
thy fear thy wrath is so.
12 O give thou us instruction
to number so our dayes,
That we our hearts may therupon▪
turn into wisdoms wayes.

13 Jehovah turn thy self again▪
how long yet shall it bee?
14 O let it thee repent for them
that servants are to thee.
15 According to the dayes wherin
affliction we have had:
And yeares wherin ill we have seen▪
now also make us glad.

16 Unto thy servants O do thou
thy handy work declare:
And shew thy comly glory to

Also thy vehement disdain:
For thou hast set me up aloft,
And thou hast cast me down again.

And like the witherd grass I fall.
12 But LORD thou dost abide for ay;

PSAL: CIII. A Psalm of David.

THe LORD bless, O my soul, and all

2 The LORD bless O my soul, and all
his bounties mind the same:
For he it is, that doth forgive
all thine iniquities.
3 And it is he that doth relieve
all thine infirmities.

4 Who ransoms from destruction
thy life, and crowneth thee
With his most dear compassion,
and kind benignitie.
5 Who with good things aboundantly
doth satisfie thy mouth:
So that like as the Eagles bee,
renewed is thy youth.

6 The LORD doth judgment, justice too,
for all oppressed ones.
7 His wayes to Moses he did show,
his acts to Isr'els sonns.

(2)8 The LORD is mercifull, also
hee's very gracious:
And unto anger he is slow,
in mercy plenteous.
6 Contention he will not mainteyn
to perpetuity:
[Page 211]And he his wrath will not reteyn
unto eternity.

10 According to our sinns likewise,
to us he hath not done;
Nor hath he our iniquities
rewarded us upon.
11 Because ev'n as the heavens are
in height the earth above:
So toward them that do him fear,
confirmed is his love.

12 Like as the East and west they are
farr in their distances;
Hee hath remov'd away so farr
from us our trespasses.
13 A Fathers pitty like unto;
which he his sonns doth bear:
Like pitty doth Jehovah show,
to them that do him fear.

14 For he doth know this f [...]me of ours,

and it away doth go:
Also the place wheras it was
no longer shall it know.

(3)17 Who fear the LORD, his mercy is
on them from ay to ay:
So likewise doth his righteousness
[Page 212]on children's children stay.
18 To such as keep his covenant
that do in mind up lay:
The charge of his commandement,
that it obey they may.

19 The LORD hath in the heavens high,
established his throne:
And over all his Royalty
doth bear dominion.
20 O ye his Angels that excell
in strength, bless ye the LORD▪
That do his word, that harken well
unto the voyce of's word.

21 All ye the Armies of the LORD,

Bless ye Jehovah: O my soul

Aloft above the mountains steep,

And at thy thunders voyce they sped

no fill of sap do want:
The Cedar trees of Lebanon,

As for the Stork the fir-trees are

8 His Covenant for evermore,

A thousand generations to,

9 The cov'nant which he heretofore
did unto Abraham make:
And unto Isaack afterward,
likewise an oath did take.

10 And unto Jacob for a Law,
hee did confirm it fast:
To Israel for a covenant,
that evermore should last.

(2)11 Hee said I'le give thee Canaans land:
by lot heirs to be there.
12 When few, yea very few in count,
and strangers in't they were:
13 When they did from one nation,
another pass unto:
When as they from one kingdom did

according to his heart;
And that unto his Senators
hee wisdom might impart.
23 Then also into Egypt land,
his father Israel came:
And Jacob was a sojourner
within the land of H [...]m.

24 Hee much increast his folk, and made
them then their foes more strong.
25 Their heart he turn'd his folk to hate,
to do his seruants wrong.

(3)26 His servant Moses he did send,
and Aaron whom he chose.
27 His signes and wonders them amongst,
they in H [...]ms land disclose.
28 Hee darkness sent and made it dark,
nor did they 's word gainsay.
[Page 219]29 Hee turn'd their waters into blood▪
and he their fish did slay.

30 Great store of Frogs their land brought forth
in chambers of their Kings.
31 He spake, there came mixt swarms, and lice
in all their coasts he brings.
32 He gave them hall for rain, and in
their land, fyres flame did make.
33 Their vines and figtrees both he smote
their coast trees eke he brake.

34 He spake, and then the Locusts came▪
and Catterpillers such,
The number of them was so great
that none could count how much.
35 All their lands herbes they ate and did
fruit of their ground devoure:
36 All first born in their land he smote,
the chief of all their power.

(4)37 He also thence did bring them forth
with silvar, and with gold;
And there was not among their tribes,
a feeble person told.
38 At their outgoing Egypt joy'd,
for on them fell their dread.
39 A cloud for cov'ring, and a fyre

41 He clave the rock, and waters flow'd,
[Page 220]floods ran in places dry.
42 For on his holy promise hee:
and servant Abraham thought.
43 With joy his people, and with songs,
forth he his chosen brought.

44 He of the heathen people did

The labour of the people they
inherited also.
45 To this intent that so they might

And that they might his Lawes observe:
therfore Jehovah prayse:

10 And from his hand that hated them,

Hee from the enemies hand likewise,

Down did they fall, and there was none

13 Then did they to Jehovah cry,
when they were in distress:
Who did then set at liberty,

As for the hands that they were in

And likewise at his right hand let
the adversary stand.

7 When he is judged, let him then
condemned be therin:
And let the pray'r that he doth make,

8 Yea let his dayes be few, and let

9 His children let be fatherless,

10 His children let be vagabonds,
let them a begging go:
And from their places desolate,
let them seek bread also.

And let the stranger spoil, what hee

That from out of the earth he may

But did pursue the needy poor,
to slay the broke in heart.

As he did not in blessing joy,
so be it farr him from.
18 With cursing like a robe, as hee

PSAL: CXLII. Maschil of David. A prayer when he was in the cave.

UNto Jehovah with my voyce,
I out aloud did cry:
Unto Jehovah with my voyce▪
my suit for grace made I.
2 Before his face I did pour out
my meditation:
Before his face I did declare
the trouble mee upon.

3 When in me was my spirit o're whelmd
then thou didst know my way:
[Page 300]I'th way I walkt, a snare for mee
they privily did lay
4 On my right hand I tookt and saw,
but no man would mee know:
All refuge faild mee, for my soul
none any care did show.

5 Unto the LORD I cry'd, and said,
my hope thou art alone:
And in land of living ones,
thou art my portion.
6 Because I am brought very low,
attend unto my cry:
From my pursuers save thou mee.
which stronger bee then I.

that I thy Name may prayse:
The  [...] shall compass me, for thou
shalt shew me bounteous grace.

Both in thy trueth, and righteousness

For in thy sight no man that lives

3 For th'enemy hath pursu'd my soul.
my life to'th ground hath thrown:
[Page 301]And made me dwell i'th dark, like them
that dead are long agone.
4 Therfore my spirit is overwhelm'd,
perplexedly in mee:
My heart also within mee is
made desolate to bee.

5 I call to mind the dayes of old,

On all thy works, thy handy work
I therupon do mus [...].
6 Morover I do unto thee,
reach mine out stretched hands:
So after thee my soul doth thirst,

Wherin th [...]t I should walk, cause thee

For I to thee lift up my soul.

From them that be my foes; I fly

Wee will remember more then wine
thy love; thee love th'upright.

I am a comely one,
Though black, as Kedars tents, and as

Because that with his beams the Sun

To feed in gardens, and to get
the lilly-flowrs likewise.

3 I am for my beloved one,
and my belov'd for mee:
And feed among the lilly-flowers
continually doth hee.
4 Thou art my love as T [...]rz [...] neat,
fair as Jerusalem.
Yea▪ terrible, as is an hoast,
that doth with banners stream.

5 Turn thou from me thine eyes, because
they have me overcome:
Thine hair is as a flock of goats,
which look from Gilead down.
6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep,
up from the washing gone,
Wherof each one bears twinns, of them
ther's not a barren one.

7 And in such wise within thy locks,
thy temples placed are:
That to a piece of Pomgranate,
the same I may compare.
8 Or Queens threescore, and fourscore is
of concubins the count,
[Page]There are so many Virgin [...] as
all number do surmount.

9 My dove, my undefiled one▪
shee is her mothers one:
Of her that did her  [...] alone▪
shee is the choicest one▪
The daughters, when they her beheld.
they did her blessed call,
Yea both the Queens, and concubins,
they praysed her withall.

10 Who's shee yt looks as morning forth,
fair as the Moon so bright▪
Clear as the Sun, and terrible
as hoasts with  [...]nners  [...]ight?
11 To'th garden of the nuts I went
down, valley fruits to see:
To see, if Vines did bud, if bloom
did the Pomgranate tree.

12 My soul had placed me before
I ever was aware,
Upon the charriots of them that
my willing people are.
13 Turn, turn, O  [...]hulamite, turn, turn▪
that wee may look on thee:
What will you see i'th Shulamite▪
as two camps company.

CHAP: VIII.

O That thou as my brother wort,

I would thee find without, and kiss,

For love is strong as death, and fierce

7 Much waters cannot quench this love,
nor can floods drown the same:
If all the substance of his house
a man would give for love.
It neverless would utterly

THE SONGS IN THE PROPHET ISAIAH.

CHAP: V.

NOw I to my beloved will
A song of my loves vinyard sing,
He hath a vineyard on a hill
Which in the horn of sto [...]e doth spring.
2 He fenc't it, and it [...] stones out threw
And planted it with choisest Vine,
Amid'st it built a towr also,
And therin made a press for wine:

Hee looked grapes it should yield then▪
But sowr-wild-grapes it forth did bring▪
3 Now dwellers in Jerusalem,
And men of Judah, judg this thing
Betwen my Vineyard, now, and mee.
4 What to it could I have done more▪
Yet when I lookt its grapes to see,
Why brought it forth wild-grapes ther­fore▪

5 And now I'le tell you, what I'le do,
My Vineyards hedg remove will I,
To be devour'd, and I'le down throw,
It's wall, and it trod down shall ly.
6 And it for desolate I'le say,
Unp [...]un'd, undig [...]d, with brambles spread,
And thornes; and to the clouds I'le say
That they on it no rain shall shed.

[Page]
7 Because the house of Israel,
The LORD of hoasts his vineyard is:
The men in Judahs tribe that dwell.
They are that pleasant plant of his▪
And he for judgment did expect,
But lo there an oppressing wound;

But lo an out-cry there h [...]  [...].

CHAP: XII.

JEhovah, I will give thee prayse,

Thine anger turned is away,

And he is my salvation.

Yea, throughout all the earth abroad,

LORD thou'rt my God, I'le thee exalt,
I will thy Name confess;
Who wonders dost, thy counsells old

2 For thou a Citty mad'st an heap,
wall'd townes to wast, to fall.
The st [...]nger never of the town,
rebuild a pallace shall.

3 And for this cause thee gloryfie,
the mighty people shal [...]:
The Citty of dread nations,

4 For thou hast been unto the poor
his strong munition:
In his distress thou art the strength
unto the needy one:

Thou art a refuge from the storm,
a shaddow from the heat:
When blasts of dr [...]adfull ones as stormes
against the wall do beat.
4 Thou shalt bring down the strangers noi [...]
as heat in places dry.
As heat by clouds-shade ceast, the branch
of dread ones low shall ly.

(2)6 The LORD of hoasts morover shall
upon this mountain make,
A sumpteous feast of far things, for
all people to partake:
A feast of wines upon the lees,
for them hee shall prepare.
[Page]Of  [...]  [...]rrowy things, of wines.
on lees re [...]yn'd that are.

7 And in this mountain hee destroy
the fa [...]e of covering shall
Cast o're all people and the vail,
spread over nations all.
8 For ever hee will swallow up
death into victory:
The LORD God from all faces shall

From all the  [...] his folks rebuke

9 Lo this our God who will us save,

This is the LORD, on whom wee had

CHAP: XXVI.

WEE have a Citty very strong,
God will appoint salvation
Her w [...]lls and bulwarks for to bee.
2 Set open ye the gates that so
The righteous nation in may go
That doth observe the v [...]itie:
3 In perfect peace keep him thou wilt,
Whose thoughtfull mind on thee is built,
Because he doth on thee rely.
4 Trust in the LORD for evermore,
[Page]For in the LORD Jehovah store
Of strength is to eternity.

5 For he brings down who dwell on high
The lofty Citty low makes ly:
Hee layes it low ev'n to the floor,
Ev'n to the dust he hath it thrown.
6 The poor mans feet shall tread it down,
The feet and steps of th'needy-poor.
7 Uprightness is the just mans way,
Thou most upright, his path dost weigh.
8 Yea in thy judgments way O LORD,
Wee wayted have for thee, the same
Our soule desire is to thy Name,
And thee in mind still to record.

9 My soul hath thee desir'd by night,
Yea, I within mee with my sprig [...]t
In early seeking thee do earn:
For when on ear [...]h thy judgments bee,
The dwel [...]ers in the world sh [...]ll see,
That so they righteousness m [...]y learn▪
10 Let to the wicked grace be  [...]hown,
Yet righteousness learn will he none;
But in the land of uprightness.
Hee will both deal unrighteously,
And he Jehovahs Majesty
Will not behold him to redress.

(2)11 Jehovah when thy hand on high
Is lifted up, they will not see:
But see and be asham'd in all they
With envy at thy folk likewise,
[Page]The fyre of thy streit enemies
Shall them devour, ev'n quite away.
12 LORD peace for us ordein wilt thou,
For in us thou hast wrought also
Ev'n all our works, our God O LORD.
13 Lords others had dominion
O're us, besides thee, but alone
By thee wee will thy Name record.

14 They dead are they▪ shall live no more▪
They  [...]re deceased▪ they therfore
Shall not arise, because thou hast
Them visitted, and hast them all
D [...]stroy'd, and their memoriall
Thou quite hast made away to wast.
15 Jehovah thou the nation
Increased hast, the nation
Thou hast increast abundantly:
Therfore then gloryfied art,
Thou hast remov'd it farr apart,
Where all the ends of th'earth do ly.

16 They visit thee, LORD in the hour
Of trouble, out their pray'r they pour
On them when thy chastisments light.
17 As shee that is to travell nigh,
Is pain'd, and out of pangs doth cry:
So h [...]ve we been LORD in thy sight.
18 We have conceiv'd, been paind, forth brought
As't were the wind, no health we wrought
In th'earth, nor have the worldlings slew
Thy dead, my corps shall live, and rise
[Page]Who dwell i'th dust,  [...] sing likewise▪
Fo [...] as the dew of he  [...] thy dew.

Th'earth shall her dead pastour also.
20 My folk, come, to thy chambers go,
And shut thy door, about thee fast▪
Hide thou thy self now as it were,
But for a little moment there,
Untill the wrath bee over-past.
21 For lo ye LORD from's place doth come
To execute on them the doom▪
That do upon the earth remain
Because of their iniquity:
Th'earth also shall her blood discry,
And cover shall no more her slain.

CHAP: XXXVIII. The Song of Hezekiah, after [...] recovery from si [...]kness.

10 I Said in cutting off my dayes,
Go to the gates of gra [...]e shall I;
And of the remnant of my yeares,
I am deprived utterly.
11 I said the LORD I shall not see,
I'th land of living ones the LORD.
And man no more behold shall▪
With them that dwell within the world.

11 Mine age away from me is put,
And moved as a shepherds tent:
I weaver-like my life off cut,
With plaing sicknes be mee spent.
[Page]Yea from the day the night untill.
Thou quite an end of mee wilt m [...]ke.
13 I count from morning, that he will
My bones all as a Lyon break:

From day to night thou wil [...] mee wast.
14 Like Crane, or swallow charter I▪
Dove like I mourn, mine eyes  [...]-cast
Do fail, LORD help, opprest am I.
15 What shall I say  [...]o me he hath
Both spoken, and himself done this▪
I all my life with softly path,
Shall walk in my souls bitterness.

16 LORD, by these things men live, and thou
By these my spirits life dost give:
Thou wilt recover me also,
And thou wilt make me for to live.
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 sinns did'st cast.

18 For graves thy prayse cannot make known
Nor yet c [...]n death thee celebrate:
S [...]h  [...]s into the pit go down▪
They for thy trueth no more can wait.
19 The living, hee, the living will
Thee praise, as I this d [...]y have done:
The father to the children still,
Hee shall thy faithfulness make known.

THE LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAH.

CHAP: III.

I Am the man by' [...] wrathf [...]ll  [...]:
who have of grief the fight.
2 To darkness he me led, and brought
and not into ye light.
3 Hee's surely turn'd 'gainst me, all day
his hand he turns in wrath.
4 My flesh and skin, he hath made old
my bones he b [...]oken hath.

5 Hee 'gainst me [...] built, and  [...]e with  [...]
and travell did infold.
6 Hee hath me set in places dark,
as who are dea [...] of old.
7 Hee me hedg'd in. I can't get ou [...]:
his heavy cha'n I bear.
8 Also when as I cry, and shout,
hee shutteth out my pray'r.

9 Hee with hew'n stone enclos'd my path
hee crooked made my wayes.
10 Hee as a Bear,  [...] wait for mee,
as Lyons in hid place.
[Page]  [...] Hee turned hath my wayes asid [...],
and he hath pulled mee
A [...] into pieces: hee hath made
mee desolate to bee.

12 Hee bent his bow, me  [...] a mark
did for the arrow place.
13 His quivers strows he hath caus [...]
into me  [...] to pass.
14 To all my folk, I was a scorn:
and all the day their song.
15 Hee made me full of bitterness,
and drunck with wormwood strong.

16 And he my teeth with gravell brake,
in ashes rolled mee.
17 And far thou put'st my soul from peace
gone is prosperitie.
18 Yea I did say, my strength and hope,
is perisht from the LORD.
19 My grief and pain, wormwood & gall,
when I in mind record.

20 My soul doth them remember still▪
and in mee's humbled sore.
21 This to my heart I do recall,
and hope I have therfore.
22 It's of the mercys of the LORD
wee' [...] not consum'd away:
Because that his compassions
they never do decay.

23 They every morning are renu'd,
his faithfullness is great.
[Page]24 The LORD's my portion saith my soul
thence hope on him I'le set.
25 To them that wait for him, to'th soul
that seeks him, good's the LORD,
26 It's good to hope, and still to wait▪
for safety from the LORD.

(2)27 It is good for a man in's youth
that he hath born the yoak.
28 Hee sits alone, and silence keeps▪
because it was his stroak.
29 Hee puts his mouth into the dust,
if so there hope may bee.
30 His cheek to him that smites he gives,
fill'd with reproach is hee.

31 For ay the LORD will not cast off,
but though grie [...] cause he should,
32 Yet will he have compassion
in's mercyes manifold.
33 For he afflicts not willingly▪
nor grieves the sonns of men.
34 To crush in pieces under's feet
earths prisoners all of them.

35 To turn aside the right of man
before the high it his face▪
36 The LORD approves not to subvert
a man in his just case.
37 Who's he that saith, and done it is,
unless the LORD it will.
38 Out of the mouth of the most high
proceeds not good, and ill.

[Page]
39 Why doth a living man complain▪
a man for his sinns pain?
40 Let's search, and try our wayes, and turn
unto the LORD again.
41 Let us lift up our heart, and hands,
to God on high in heaven.
42 We trespast have, and have rebell'd,
and thou hast not forgiven.

(3)43 Thou hyd'st with wrath, and us pursu'st
thou slay'st, and dost not rue.
44 Thou so with clouds dost hide thy self
our prayer cannot pass through
45 Amidst the people us thou mad'st
the refuse scum likewise.
46 Against us opened have their mouths
all of our enemies.

47 Fear and snare is come on us,
wast and destruction.
48 For my folks daughters wast, mine eye
runs water-rivers down.
49 Mine eye with tears doth trickle down
no intermission.
50 Untill the LORD from heav'n look down
on our affliction.

51 Mine eye affects mine heart, for all
my Citty's daughters sore.
52 Mee like a bird, my foes pursu'd,
they have no cause therfore.
53 My life i'th dungeon they cut off,
on me a stone they put.
[Page]54 The waters did flow o're raine head.
I said I off am cut.

55 I called on thy name O LORD▪
out of the dungeon low.
56 Thou hard'st my voyce, hide not thine ear▪
my cry, my breathing fro.
57 Thou  [...]rewest near, and said'st fear not
i'th day I calld on thee.
58 LORD, my souls causes thou didst plead,
my life thou hast set free.

59 Jehov [...]h thou hast seen my wrong,
judg thou the cause for mee.
60 Their vengeance all, and all their plots
against me thou didst see
61 Thou hast heard their reproach O Lord
their plots 'gainst mee alway.
62 The lips of those who 'gainst me rose▪
their plots 'gainst mee all day.

63 Their sitting down, their rising up,
their musick lo am I.
64 O LORD on them a recompence
to their hands works apply.
65 Give to them senslesnes of heart,
thy curse to them afford.
66 In wrath chase, and them wast beneath
the heavens of the LORD.

The Prayer of JONAH, to the LORD his God, out of the fishes belly.

2 I To the LORD from my distress
did cry, and he gave ear:
Out of  [...]ells belly I did cry,
and hee my voyce did hear.
3 Into the deep, and midst of Seas,
because thou didst me cast:
The floods me compast, all thy wav [...] ▪
and billows o're me past.

4 Then did I say, I utterly
cast from thy sight remain:
Thy holy Temple yet will I
towards it look again.
[Page]5 The waters even to the soul
did mee encompass round:
The depths me round enclos'd, the weeds
about my head were bound.

6 To mountains bottoms I went down,
earths barrs me ay beset:
Yet LORD my God thou broughtst my life
up from corruptions-pit.
7 When as my soul did faint in mee,
thee LORD remembred I,
And in my prayr came unto thee,
into thy Sanctuary.

8 They their own mercyes leave, that do
mark lying vanityes.
9 But with the voyce of giving thanks,
to thee I'le sacrifice:
The thing the which I vowed have
to pay I will accord;
Because alone salvation,
proceedeth from the LORD.

CHAP: III.

THy speech O LORD I heard wt fears,
Revive in midst of years O LORD
Thy work: make known in midst of years
In wrath thy tender grace record.
[Page]3 God forth from Teman saued.
The Holy one from Paran hill: Selah
The skies his glory overspread,
And all the earth his prayse did fill.

4 His brightness did as light appear.
Horns from his hand proceeded rhence:
The hiding of his strength was there.
5 Before him w [...]nt the Pestelence,
And from his feet coale [...] burning went.
6 He stood, and th'earth he measured,
He looked, and the nations rent,
Ay lasting hills were scattered.

The hills of perpetuity
Did bow, his wayes for ever stand.
7 In anguish Cushans tents saw I,
The curtains shook of Midians land.
8 What did ye floods the LORD displease
What was thine ire 'gainst rivers wide?
What was thy wrath against the Seas?
That thou didst on thy horses ride.

Thy charriots of salvation were.
* 9 Made wholly naked was thy bow,
As thou to th [...] tribes didst say and swear.
The earth with rivers cleave didst thou.
10 Thee saw▪ and shook ye mountains stee [...]
The floods of waters passed by:
His voyce forth utter did the deep,
And lifted up his hands on high.

11 The Sun, and eke the Moon so bright,
[Page]Stood still within their dwelling sphear,
They moved at thine arrows light,
At th'shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst ma [...]ch through the land in wrath▪

The heathen thou didst thresh in r [...]ge.
13 Thou forth also didst make thy path,
For safety of thy heritage:

For safety with thine oynted one:
Thou from the wickeds house the head
* Didst wound: so the foundation
Was to the neck discovered
14 Thou of his villages the head
Didst with his staves strike through the same
That me they might have scattered.
Like as a whirlwind out they came:

Twas their re [...]oycing to devour,
The poor afflicted secretly.
15 Thou with thine horses went'st in pow [...]
Through Se [...], and he [...]ps of waters high.
16  [...] ▪ my  [...]lly trembled then,
And at thy voyce my lips did quake▪
A oftenness 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 hee will.
17 Though figtree blossom not at all.
Nor any fruit in vines appear,
[Page]The labour of the Olive fail,
And though ye fields no men should bear▪

Though flocks shall be cut off from fold.
In stall no herd, should have abode.
18 Yet in the LORD rejoyce I would.
I'le joy in my salvations God:
The LORD God is my strength, and hee
Doth make my feet like Hinds also.
And he it is that causeth mee
Upon my places high to go.

For lo, henceforth all ages shall

49 For mee the strong, great things hath done.
and Holy is his Name.

50 Such also as him reverence,
his mercy is upon:
And that from generation,

[Page]51 Hee with his  [...] hath shewed strength
the  [...]roud he scattered
In the devises of their heart
which they imagined.
52 Down from their seat of dignity
the mighty put hath hee:
And hath exalted them on high
that were of low degree.

53 The hungry he hath f [...]ld with good▪
the rich sent voyd away.
54 His servant Israel he hath help'd
his mercy minding ay.
55 According as he spake unto
our fathers heretofore:
To Abraham and unto his seed,
henceforth for evermore.
