BOOKE OF PSALMES
Faithfully
TRANSLATED into ENGLISH
Metre.
Whereunto is prefixed a discourse de-
claring not only the lawfullnes, but also
the necessity of the heavenly Ordinance
of singing Scripture Psalmes in
the Churches of God.
Coll. III.
Let the word of God dwell plenteously in
you, in
all wisdome, teaching and exhort-
ing one another in Psalmes, Himnes, and
spirituall Songs, singing to the Lord with
grace in your hearts.
James v.
If any be afflicted, let him pray, and if
any be merry let him sing psalmes.
Imprinted 1640
The Preface.
THe singing of Psalmes, though it breath forth
nothing but holy harmony, and melody: yet
such is the subtilty of the enemie, and the enmity
of our nature against the Lord, & his ways, that
our hearts can finde matter of discord in this har-
mony, and crotchets of division in this holy me-
lody for. There have been three questiōns especi-
ally stirring concerning singing. First what psalms
are to be sung in churches? Whether Davids and o-
scripture psalmes, or the psalms invented by
the gifts of godly men in every age of the church.
Secondly, if scripture psalmes, whether in their
owne words, or in such meter as English poetry is
wont to run in? Thirdly· by whom are they to be
sung? whether by the whole churches together
with their voices? or by one man singing alōe and
the rest joynīg in silēce, & in the close sayīg amen.
Touching the first, certainly the singing of Da-
vids psalmes was an acceptable worship of God,
not only in his owre, but in succeeding times as
in Solomons time 2 Chron. 5.13. in Jehosa-
phats time 2 chron. 20.31. in Ezra his
time Ezra 3.10, 11. and the text is evident
in Hezekiahs time they are commanded to
sing praise in the words of David and Asaph,
2 chron. 29, 30. which one place may serve
to resolve two of the questions (the first and the
last) at once, for this commandement was it ceri-
∣moniall
The
monial or morall? some things in it indeed were
cerimoniall, as their musicall instruments &c
but what cerimony was there in singing prayse
with the words of David and Asaph? what if Da-
vid was a type of Christ, was Asaph also? was
every thing of David typicall? are his words
(which are of morall, universall, and perpetuall
authority in all nations and ages) are they typi-
call? what type can be imagined in making use
of his songs to prayse the Lord? If they were ty-
picall because the cerimony of musicall instru-
ments was joyned with them, then their prayers
were alsotypicall, because they had that ceremo-
ny of incense admixt with them: but wee know
that prayer then was a morall duty, notwithstand-
ing the incense; and soe singing those psalmes not-
withstanding their musicall instruments. Beside,
that which was typicall (as that they were sung
with musicall instruments, by the twenty-foure
orders of Priests and Levites. 1 Chron 25.9.) must
have the morall and spirituall accomplishment in
the new Testament, in all the Churches of the
Saints principally, who are made kings & priests
Reu. 1.6. and are the first fruits unto God. Reu. 14.
as the Levites were Num. 3.45. with hearts &
lippes, in stead of musicall instruments, to prayse
the Lord; who are set forth (as some iudiciously
thinke) Reu. 4.4. by twēty foure Elders, in the ripe
age of the Church, Gal. 4.1, 2, 3. answering to the
twenty foure orders of Priests and Levites
1 chron. 25.9. Therefore not some select
members
Preface
members, but the whole Church is ic ommand-
ed to teach one another in all the special sorts
of Davids psalmes, some being called by himself
מזמרים : psalms, some תחיללים Hymns
some שירים: spirituall songs. Soe that if the
singing Davids psalmes be a morall duty & ther-
fore perpetuall; then wee under the new Testamēt
are bound to sing them as
well as they under the
old: and if wee are expresly commanded to sing
Psalmes, Hymnes, and spirituall songs, then either
wee must sing Davids psalmes, or else may affirm
they are not spirituall songs: which being penned
by an extraordīary gift of the Spirit, for the sake
especially of Gods spirtuall Israell; not to be
read and preached only (as other parts of holy
writ) but to be sung also, they are therefore most
spirituall, and still to be sung of all the Israell of
God: and verily as their sin is exceeding great,
who will allow Davids psalmes (as other scrip-
tures) to be read in churches (which is one end)
but not to be preached also, (which is another end
foe their sin is crying before God, who will al-
low them to be read and preached, but seeke to
deprive the Lord of the glory of the third end of
them, which is to sing them in Christian churches
obj. 1 If it be sayd that the Saints in the primi-
tive Church did compile spirituall songs of their
owne inditing, and sing them before the Church
1 Cor. 14, 15, 16.
Ans. We answer first, that those Saints compiled
these spirituall songs by the extraordinary gifts of
the
The
the spirit (common in those dayes) whereby they
were inabled to praise the Lord in strange tongu-
es, wherin learned Paraeus proves those psalmes
were uttered, in his Commēt on that place vers 14
which extraordinary gifts, if they were still in the
Churches, wee should allow them the like liberty
now. Secondly, suppose those psalmes were sung
by an ordinary gift (which wee suppose cannot be
evicted) doth it therefore follow that they did
not, & that we ought not to sing Davids psalmes?
must the ordinary gifts of a private man quench
the spirit still speaking to us by the extraordin¦-
ary gifts of his servant David? there is not the
lost foot-step of example, or precept, or colour
of reason for such a bold practise.
obj. 2. Ministers are allowed to pray conceived
prayers, and why not to sing conceived psalmes?
must wee not sing in the spirit as well as pray in
the spirit?
Ans. First because every good minister hath not
a gift of spirituall poetry to compose extempora-
ry psalmes as he hath of prayer. Secondly. Sup-
pose he had, yet seeing psalmes are to be sung by a
joynt consent and harmony of all the Church in
heart and voyce (as wee shall prove) this cannot
be done except he that composeth a psalme, bring-
th into the Church set formes of psalmes of his
owne invētion; for which wee finde no warrant
or president in any ordinary officers of the Church
throughout the sciptures. Thirdly. Because
the booke of psalmes is so compleat a System of
psalms
Preface
psalmes, which the Holy-Ghost himselfe ininfint-
ite wisdome hath made to suit all the conditions,
necessityes, temptations, affections, &c. of men
in all ages; (as most of all our interpreters on the
psalmes have fully and particularly cleare where
fore by this the Lord seemeth to stoppeth mens
mouths and mindes ordinarily to compile or
sing any other psa•mes (under colour that the
ocasions and conditions of the Church are new)
&c. for the publick use of the Church, seing, let
our condition be what it will, the Lord himselfe
hath supplyed us with farre better; and therefore
in Hezekiahs time, though doubtlesse there were
among them those which had extraoridnary gifts
to compile new songs on those new ocasions, as
Isaiah and Micah &c. yet wee read that they are
commanded to sing in the words of David and
Asaph, which were ordinarily to be used in the
publick worship of God: and wee doubt not but
those that are wise will easily see; that those
set formes of psalmes of Gods owne appoint-
ment not of mans conceived gift or humane
imposition were sung in the Spirit by those ho-
ly Levites, as well as their prayers were in
the spirit which themselves conceived, the
Lord not then binding them therin to any
set formes; and shall set formes of psalmes
appoynted of God not be sung in the spirit now,
which others did then?
Queston. But why may not one cōpose a psalme
& sing it alone with a loud voice & the rest joyne
with
The
with him in silence and in the end say Amen?
Ans. If such a practise was found in the Church
of Corinth, when any had a psalme suggested by
an extraordinary gift; yet in singing ordinary
psalmes the whole Church is to joyne together
in heart and voyce to prayse the Lord. -for-
First. Davids psalmes as hath beene shewed,
were sung in heart and voyce together by the
twenty foure orders of the musicians of the Tem-
ple, who typed out the twenty foure Elders all
the members especially of christian Churches Rom
5.8. who are made Kings and Priests to God
to prayse him as they did: for if there were
any other o•der of singing Choristers beside
the body of the people to succeed those, the
Lord would doubtlesse have given direction
in the gospell for their quallification, election,
maintainance &c. as he did for the musicians of
the Temple, and as his faithfullnes hath done for
all other church officers in the new Testament.
Secondly. Others beside the Levites (the chiefe
Singers) in the Jewish Church did also sing the
Lords songs; else why are they commanded fre-
quently to sing: as in ps. 100, 1, 2, 3. ps 95, 1, 2, 3.
ps. 102. title. with vers 18. & Ex. 15.1. not only
Moses but all Israell sang that song, they spake
saying (as it is in the orig.) all as well as Moses,
the women also as well as the men. v. 20 21. and
deut. 32. (whereto some thinke, John had refer-
ence as well as to Ex. 15.1. when he brings in the
protestant Churches getting the victory over the
Beast
Preface
Beast with harps in their hands and singing the
song of Moses. Reu, 15.3.) this song Moses is
commanded not only to put it into their hearts
but into their mouths also: deut. 31.19. which
argues, they were with their mouths to sing i. to-
gether as well as with their hearts.
Thirdly. Isaiah foretells in the dayes of the new-
Testament that Gods watchmen and desolate
lost soules, (signified by wast places) should with
their voices sing together, Isa. 52.8, 9. and Reu.
7.9, 10. the song of the Lamb was by many to-
gether, and the Apostle expresly commands the
singing of Psalmes, Himnes, &c. not to any se-
lect christians, but to the whole Church Eph. 5.19
coll. 3.16. Paule & Silas sang together in private
Acts. 16.25. and must the publick heare ōly one
man sing? to all these wee may adde the practise
of the primitive Churches; the testimony of an-
cient and holy Basil is in stead of many Epist. 63
When one of us (saith he) hath begun a psalme,
the rest of us set in to sing with him, all of us with
one heart and one voyce; and this saith he is the
common practise of the Churches in Egypt,
Lybia, Thebes, Palestina, Syria and those that
dwell on Euphrates, and generally every where,
where singing of psalmes is of any account. To
the same purpose also Eusebius gives witnes,
Eccles. Hist. lib. 2. cap. 17. The objections made
against this doe most of them plead against joyn-
ing to sing in heart as well as in voyce, as that by
this meanes others out of the Church will sing
as
The
as also that wee are not alway in a sutable estate
to the matter sung, & likewise that all cannot sing
with understanding; shall not therefore all that
have understanding ioyne in heart and voyce to-
gether? are not all the creatures in heaven, earth,
seas: men, beasts, fishes, foules &c. commanded
to praise the Lord, and yet none of these but
men, and godly men too, can doe it with
spirituall understanding?
As for the scruple that some take at the trans-
latiō of the book of psalmes into meeter, because
Davids psalmes were sung in his owne words
without meeter: wee answer- First· There are
many verses together in several psalmes of David
which run in rithmes (as those that know the heb-
rew and as Buxtorf shews Thesau. pa. 629.) which
shews at least the lawfullnes of singing psalmes in
english rithmes.
Secondly. The psalmes are penned in such
verses as are sutable to the poetry of the hebrew
Language, and not in the common style of such
other bookes of the old Testament as are not
poeticall; now no protestant doubteth but that
all the bookes of the scripture should by Gods
ordinance be extant in the mother tongue of each
nation, that they may be understood of all, hence
the psalmes are to be translated into our eng-
lish tongue; and if in our english tongue wee are
to sing them, then as all our english songs (accord-
ing to the course of our english poetry) do run in
metre, soe ought Davids psalmes to be translated
into
Preface
into meeter, that soe wee may sing the Lords
songs, as in our eng•ish tongue soe in such verses
as are familar to an english eare which are com-
monly metricall: and as it can be no just offence
to any good conscience to sing Davids hebrew
songs in english words, soe neither to sing his
poeticall verses in english poeticall metre: men
might as well stumble at singing the hebrew
psalmes in our english tunes (and not in the he-
brew tunes) as at singing them in english meeter,
(which are our verses) and not in such verses as
are generally used by David according to the po-
etry of the hebrew language: but the truth is, as
the Lord hath hid from us the hebrew tunes, lest
wee should think our selves bound to imitate
them; soe also the course and frame (for the most
part) of their hebrew poetry, that wee might not
think our selves bound to imitate that, but that
every nation without scruple might follow as the
graver sort of tunes of their owne country songs,
soe the graver sort of verses of their owne count-
ry poetry.
Neither let any think, that for the meetre
sake wee have taken liberty or poeticall licence
to depart from the true and proper sence of
Davids words in the hebrew verses, noe; but it
hath beene one part of our religious care and
faithfull indeavour, to keepe close to the
originall text.
As for other obiections taken from the diffi-
culty of Amsworths tunes, and the corruptions in
our
The
our common psalme books, wee hope they are
answered in this new edition of psalmes which
wee here present to God and his Churches. For
although wee have cause to blesse God in many
respects for the religious indeavours of the
translaters of the psalmes into meetre usually an-
nexed to our Bibles, yet it is not unknowne to
the godly learned that they have rather presented
a paraphrase then the words of David translat-
ed according to the rule 2 chron. 29.30. and
that their addition to the words, detractions from
the words are not seldome and rare, but very fre-
quent and many times needles, (which we sup-
pose would not be approved of if the psalmes
were so translated into prose) and that their
variations of the sense, and alterations of the
sacred text too frequently, may iustly minister
matter of offence to them that are able to com-
pare the translation with the text; of which fail-
ings, some iudicious have oft complained,
others have been grieved, wherupon it hath bin
generally desired, that as wee doe inioye other,
soe (if it were the Lords will) wee might inioye
this ordinance also in its native purity: wee have
therefore done our indeavour to make a plaine
and familiar translation of the psalmes and words
of David into english metre, and have not soe
much as presumed to paraphrase to give the sense
of his meaning in other words; we have therefore
attended heerin as our chief guide the originall,
showing all additions, except such as even the best
translators
Preface
translators of them in prose supply, avoiding all
materiall detractions from words or sence. The
word ו
which wee translate and as it is redun-
dant sometime in the Hebrew, soe somtime
(though not very often) it
hath been left out,
and yet not then, if the sence were not faire
without it.
As for our translations, wee have with our
english Bibles (to which next to the Originall
wee have had respect) used the Idioms of our
owne tongue in stead of Hebraismes, lest
they might seeme english barbarismes.
Synonimaes wee use indifferently: as folk for peo-
ple, and Lord for Iehovah, and somtime (though
seldome) God for Iehovah; for which (as for
some other interpretations of places cited in the
new Testament) we have the scriptures authority
ps. 14. with 53. Heb. 1.8. with psalme
97. 7
Where a phrase is doubtfull wee have followed
that which (in our owne apprehensiō) is most genu-
ine & edifying:
Somtime wee have contracted, somtime
dilated the same hebrew word, both for the
sence and the verse sake: which dilatation
wee conceive to be no paraphrasticall addition
no more then the contraction of a true and full
translation to be any unfaithfull detraction or di-
minution: as when wee dilate who healeth and
say he it is who healeth; soe when wee contract,
those that stand in awe of God and say Gods fearers.
Lastly. Because some hebrew words have a
more
The
more full and emphaticall signification then any
one english word can or doth somtime expresse,
hence wee have done that somtime which faith-
full translators may doe, viz. not only to
translate the word but the emphasis of it; as
אל
mighty God, for God. ברך
humbly
blesse for blesse; rise to stand, psalm 1. for stand
truth and faithfullnes for truth. Howbeit, for the
verse sake wee doe not alway thus, yet wee ren-
der the word truly though not fully; as
when wee somtime say reioyce for shout
for ioye.
As for all other changes of numbers,
tenses, and characters of speech, they are
such as either the hebrew will, unforcedly
beare, or our english forceably calls for,
or they no way change the sence; and
such are printed usually in an other
character.
If therefore the verses are not alwayes
so smooth and elegant as some may desire
or expect; let them consider that Gods
Altar needs not our pollishings: Ex. 20. for
wee have respected rather a plaine transla-
tion, then to smooth out verses with the
sweetnes of any paraphrase, and soe have
attended Conscience rather then Elegance,
fidelity rather then poetry, in translating
the hebrew words into english language,
and Davids poetry into english meerre;
that

that soe wee may sing in Sion the Lords
songs of prayle according to his owne
will; untill hee take us from hence,
and wipe away all our teares, &
bid us enter into our masters

Halleluiahs.
THE PSALMES
In Metre
PSALME I
O Blessed man, that in th' advice
of wicked doeth not walk:
nor stand in sinners way, nor sit
in chayre of scornfull folk.
2 But in the law of Jehovah,
is his longing delight:
and in his law doth meditate,
by day and eke by night.
3. And he shall be like to a tree
planted by water-rivers:
that in his season yeilds his fruit,
and his leafe never withers.
4. And all he doth, shall prosper well,
the wicked are not so:
but they are like vnto the chaffe,
which winde drives to and fro.
5. Therefore shall not ungodly men,
rise to stand in the doome,
nor shall the sinners with the just,
in their assemblie come.
6. For of the righteous men, the Lord
acknowledgeth the way:
but the way of vngodly men,
shall vtterly decay.
PSALM II
WHy rage the Heathen furiously,
muse vaine things people do;
2 Kings of the earth doe set themselves,
Princes consult also:
with one consent against the Lord,
and his anoynted one.
3 Let us asunder break their bands,
their cords bee from us throwne▪
4. Who sits in heav'n shall laugh; the lord
will mock them; then will he
5. Speak to them in his ire, and wrath:
and vex them suddenlie.
6 But I annoynted have my King
upon my holy hill
7 of Zion: The established
counsell declare I will.
God spake to me, thou art my Son:
this day I thee begot.
8 Aske thou of me, and I will give
the Heathen for thy lot:
and of the earth thou shalt possesse
the utmost coasts abr•ad.
9 Thou shalt them break as Potters sherds
and crush with yron rod.
10 And now yee Kings be wise, be learn'd
yee Iudges of th'earth (Heare.)
11 Serve yee the lord with revere•ce,
rejoyce in him with feare.
12 Kisse yee the Sonne, lest he be wroth,
and yee fall in the way.
when his wrath quickly burnes, oh blest?
PSALME III, IV.
are all that on him stay.
Psalme 3
1 A psalme of David when he fled from the
face of Absalom his Sonne.
O Lord, how many are my foes?
how many up against me stand?
2 Many say to my soule noe helpe
in God for him at any hand.
3 But thou Lord art my shield, my glory
and the-uplifter of my head,
4 with voyce to God I cal'd, who from
his holy hill me answered.
5 I layd me downe, I slept, I wakt,
for Jehovah did me up beare:
6 People that set against me round,
ten thousand of them I'le not feare.
7 Arise o Lord, save me my God,
for all mine enimies thou hast stroke
upon the cheek-bone: & the teeth
of the ungodly thou hast broke.
8 This, and all such salvation,
belongeth vnto Iehovah;
thy blessing is, and let it be
upon thine owne people. Selah.
Psalme 4
To the cheife Muscian on Neginoth,
a psalme of David.
GOD of my justice, when I call
answer me: when distrest
thou hast inlarg'd me, shew me grace,
and
heare thou my request.
Yee
PSALM IV
2 Ye Sonnes of men, my glory turne
to shame how long will you?
how long will ye love vanity,
and still deceit pursue?
3 But know, the Lord doth for himselfe
set by his gracious saint:
the Lord will heare when I to him
doe poure out my complaint.
4 Be stirred up, but doe not sinne,
consider seriouslie:
within your heart upon your bed;
and wholly silent be.
5 The sacrifices of justice,
let sacrificed be,
and confidently put your trust
on Jehovah doe ye.
6 Many there be that say o who,
will cause us good to see:
the light, Lord, of thy countenance
let on us lifted be.
7 Thou hast put gladnesse in my heart,
more then the time wherein
their corne, and also their new wine,
have much increased bin.
8 In peace with him I will lye downe,
and take my sleepe will I:
For thou Lord mak'st me dwell alone
in confident safety.
Psalme 5
1 To the cheife Musician upon Nehiloth,
a psalme of David.
PSALME V.
Heare thou my words and understand
my meditation, Iehovah.
2 My King, my God, attend the voyce
of my cry: for to thee I pray.
3 At morn Iehovah, thou shalt heare
my voyce: to thee I will addresse
4 at morn, I will looke up. For thou
art not a God lov'st wickednesse
neither shall evil with thee dwell.
5 Vaine glorious fooles before thine eyes
shall never stand: for thou hatest
all them that worke iniquities.
6 Thou wilt bring to distruction
the speakers of lying-falshood,
the lord will make to be abhor'd
the man deceitfull, and of blood.
7 But I will come into thine house
in multitude of thy mercy:
and will in feare of thee bow downe,
in temple of thy sanctity.
8 Lead me forth in thy rightousnes,
because of mine observing spies,
O Iehovah doe thou thy wayes
make straight, and plaine, before mine eyes
9 For there no truth is in his mouth,
their inward part iniquities;
their throat an open sepulchre,
their tongue is bent to flatteries.
10 O God make thou them desolate
from their owne plots let them fall far,
cast
them out in their heapes of sinnes,
for
PSALM V VI
for they against thee Rebells are.
11 And all that trust in thee shall joy,
and shout for joy eternallie,
and thou shalt them protect: & they
that love thy name shall joy in thee.
12 Fore thou Jehovah, wilt bestow
a blessing on the rightous one:
and wilt him crowne as with a shield,
with gracious acceptation.
Psalme 6
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon
Sheminith, a psalme of David.
LORD in thy wrath rebuke me not,
nor in thy hot wrath chasten me
2 Pitty me Lord, for I am weak,
Lord heale me, for my bones vext be.
3 Also my soule is troubled sore:
how long Lord wilt thou me forsake?
4 Returne o Lord, my soule release:
o save me for thy mercy sake.
5 In death no mem'ry is of thee
and who shall prayse thee in the grave?
6 I faint with groanes, all night my bed
swims, I with tears my couch wash have.
7 mine eye with grief is dimme and old:
because of all mine enimies.
8 But now depart away fom me,
all yee that work iniquities:
for Jehovah ev'n now hath heard
the voyce of these my weeping teares.
9 Jehovah heare my humble suit,

PSALME VI VII
Jehovah doth receive my prayers.
10 Let all mine enimies be asham'd
and greatly troubled let them be:
yea let them be returned back,
and be ashamed suddenlie.
Psalme 7
Shiggajon of David which he say to Jehovah
upō the words of Cush the Benjamite.
O LORD my God in thee
I doe my trust repose,
save and deliver me from all
my persecuting foes.
2 I est like a Lion hee
my soule in peeces teare:
rending asunder, while there is
not one deliverer.
3 Jehovah o my God
if this thing done have I:
if so there be within my hands
wrongfull iniquity
4 If I requited ill
the man with me at peace,
(yea I have him delivered
that was my foe causlesse:)
5 Let foe pursue my soule,
and take, and tread to clay
my life: and honor in the dust
there let him wholly lay
6 Arise Lord in thy wrath
for th' enimies fiercenesse:

PSALME VII
judgement thou did'st expresse.
7 So thee encompasse round
shall peoples assembly;
and for the same doe thou returne,
vnto the place on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the folke;
Jehovah judge thou me.
according to my righteousness,
and mine integritie.
9 Let ill mens malice cease,
but doe the just confirme,
for thou who art the righteous God,
dost hearts and reins discerne.
10 For God my sheild, the right
in heart he saved hath.
11 The God that doth the rightous judge,
yet daily kindleth wrath.
12 If he doe not returne,
his sword he sharp will whet:
his bow he bended hath, and he
the same hath ready set.
13 For him he hath prepar'd
the instruments of death,
for them that hotly persecute,
his arrows he sharpneth.
14 Behold he travelleth
of vaine iniquity:
a toylesome mischeife he conceiv'd,
but shall bring forth a lye.
15 A pit he digged hath,
and
delved deepe the same:
but
PSALME VII, VIII
But fall'n he is into the ditch,
that he himselfe did frame.
16 His mischeivous labour
shall on his head turn downe,
and his injurious violence
shall fall upon his crowne,
17 Jehovah I will prayse
for his just equity;
and I will sing unto the name
of Jehovah most high.
Psalme 8
To the chiefe Musician upon Gittith.
a psalme of David.
O LORD our God in all the earth
how's thy name wondrous great?
who hast thy glorious majesty
above the heavens set.
2 out of the mouth of sucking babes.
thy strength thou didst ordeine,
that thou mightst still the enemy,

3 when I thy fingers work, thy Heav'ns,
the moone and starres consider:

that thou dost him remember?
or what's the Son of man, that thus
him visited thou hast?
5 For next to Angells, thou hast him
a litle lower plac't
and hast with glory crowned him,
and
comely majesty:
PSALM VIII, IX.
6 And on thy works hast given him,
lordly authority.
7 All hast thou put under his feet;
all sheep and oxen, yea
8 and beasts of field. Foules of the ayre,
and fishes of the sea;
and all that passe through paths of seas.
9 O Jehovah our Lord,
how wondrously-magnificent
is thy name through the world?
Psalme 9
To the chiefe Musician upon Muth-Labben
a psalme of David
LORD I'le the prayse, with all my heart;
thy wonders all proclaime.
2 I will be glad and joy in thee;
most high, I'le sing thy name.
3 In turning back my foes, they'le fall
and perish at thy sight.
4 For thou maintaines my right, & cause:
In throne sits judging right.
5 Thou t' heathen checkst, & th' wicked stroyd;
their names raz'd ever aye.
6 Thy ruines, foe, for aye are done;
thou madst their townes decaye;
their memory with them is lost.

his throne to judgement he prepares.
8 With right he'l judge the world:

WHy standst thou Lord a far? why hyd'st

4 Thus have they sayd, we with our tongue,

But he will highly honour them

whome all my joye is on.
4 They who give gifts to a strange God,
their sorrowes multiplye:
their drink oblations of blood

Neither will I into my lips

of my part, & my cup:
Thou art maintainer of my lot.

PSALM
PSALM XVIII
Psalme 18
To the chiefe Musician, a psalme of Dauid, the servant of
the Lord, who spake the words of this Song, in the day that
the Lord deliuered him from the hands of all his enemies,
& from the hand of Saule, and hee Sayde,
IL'e dearely love thee, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my towre,
and my deliverer, my God,
I'le trust in him who is my powre,
My shield, & my salvationes-horne,
3 my high-fort; Who is prayse worthy,
I on the Lord will call, so shall
I bee kept from mine enemye.
4 Deaths sorrowes mee encompassed,
mee fear'd the floods of ungodlie,
5 Hells pangs beset me round about,
the snares of death prevented mee.
6 I in my streights, cal'd on the Lord,
and to my God cry'd: he did heare
from his temple my voyce, my crye,
before him came, unto his eare.
7 Then th' earth shooke, & quak't, & moūtaines
roots moov'd, & were stird at his ire,
8 Vp from his nostrils went a smoak,
and from his mouth devouring-fire:
By it the coales inkindled were.
9 Likewise the heavens he downe-bow'd,
and he descended, & there was
under his feet a gloomy cloud.
10 And he on cherub rode, and flew;
yea he flew on the wings of winde.
11 His
secret place hee darknes made
his
PSALME XVIII.
his covert that him round confinde,
Dark waters, & thick clouds of skies.
12 From brightnes, that before him was,
his thickned clouds did passe away,
hayl-stones and coales of fire did passe.
13 Also Iehovah thundered,
within the heavens, the most high
likewise his angry-voyce did give,
hayl-stones, and coales of fire did fly.
14 Yea he did out his arrows send,
and bruising he them scattered,
and lightnings hee did multiply,
likewise he them discomfited.
15 The waters channels then were seene,
and the foundationes of the world
appear'd; at thy rebuke, at blast,
of the breath of thy nostrils Lord.
(2)
16 Hee from above sent hee me took:
me out of waters-great he drew.
17 Hee from mine enemies-strong, & from
them which me hated did rescue.
For they were mightyer then I.
18 They mee prevented in the day
of my cloudy calamity;
but for me was the Lord a stay.
19 And hee me to large place brought forth:
hee sav'd mee, for he did delight
20 in mee. The Lord rewarded me
according as I did aright,
According
to the cleannesse of
my
PSALM XVIII.
my hands, he recompenced mee.
21 For the wayes of the Lord I kept:
nor from my God went wickedlie.
22 For all his judgements mee before:
nor from me put I his decree.
23 With him I upright was, and kept
my selfe from mine iniquitie.
24 The Lord hath recompenced mee,
after my righteousnes therefore:
according to the cleannesse of
my hands that was his eyes before.
25 With mercifull, thou mercifull,
with upright thou deales uprightly.
26 With pure thou pure, thou also wilt
with froward turne thy selfe awry.
27 For thou wilt save th'afflicted folke:
but wilt the lofty looks suppresse.
28 For thou wilt light my lampe: the Lord,
my God will lighten my darknesse.
29 For by thee rann through a troupe,
and by my God leapt o're a wall.
30 Gods way is perfect: Gods word tryde,
that trust in him hee's shield to all.
31 For who is God except the Lord?
or who a rock, our God except?
32 Its God that girdeth me with strength,
and hee doth make my way perfect.
33 Like to the hyndes he makes my feet:
and on my high place maks me stand.
34 Mine armes doe break a bow of brasse;
so
well to warre he learnes my hand.
35 the
PSALME XVIII.
35 The shield of thy salvation
thou furthermore hast given mee:
and thy right-hand hath mee upheld,
thy meeknes made mee great to bee.
36 Vnder mee thou makst large my steps.
so that mine anckles did not slyde
37 My foes pursu'de I, & them caught:
nor turn'd I till they were destroyd.
38 I wounded them & they could not
rise up: under my feet they fell.
39 Because that thou hast girded mee
with fortitude to the battel.
Thou hast subdued under mee,
those that did up against me ri••.
40 And my foes necks thou gavest mee,
that I might wast mine enemyes.
41 They cryde but there was none to save,
to God, yet with no answer meet.
42 I beat them then as dust i'th winde
and cast them out as dirt i'th streer.
(4)
43 And thou from the contentions
hast of the people mee set free;
thou of the heathen mad'st me head,
people I knew not shall serve mee.
44 They'le at first hearing me obey:
strangers shall yield themselvs to mee.
45 The strangers shall consume away,
and from their closets frighted bee.
46 The Lord lives, and blest be my Rock,
let
my healths God exacted bee.
47 It's
PSALM
XVIII, XIX.
47 It's God for mee that veageance works,
and brings downe people under mee.
48 Mee from mine enemies he doth save:
and above those that 'gainst me went,
thou lift'st me up; and thou hast freed
mee from the man that's violent.
49 I with confession will therefore
unto thee render thanksgiving,
o Lord, among the heathen folk;
and to thy name I'le prayses sing.
50 He giveth great deliveranace.
to his King, and doth shew mercy
to his annoynted, to David,
and
to his seed eternally.

his glory hath bene great:

MY God, my God, wherefore hast thou
forsaken mee? & why,
art thou so farre from helping mee,
from the words of my cry?
2 O my God, I doe cry by day,
but mee thou dost not heare;
and eke by night, & unto mee
no quiet rest is there.
3 Neverthelesse thou holy art,
who constantly dost dwell,
within the thankfull prayses of
thy people Israell.
4 Our fore-fathers in thee have put
assured confidence:
they trusted have, & thou to them
didst give deliverance.
5 Vnto thee they did cry aloud,
and were delivered:
in thee they put their confidence,
and were not confounded.
6 But I a worme, & not a man;
of men an opprobrie,
and also of the people am
despis'd contemptuouslie.
7 All they that doe upon mee look,
a scoffe at mee doe make:
they with the lip doe make a mow,
the head in scorne they shake.

let him now rid him quite:
let him deliver him, because
in him he doth delight.
9 But thou art hee that me out of
the belly forth didst take:
when I was on my mothers breasts,
to hope thou didst mee make.
10 Vnto thee from the tender-womb
committed been have I:
yea thou hast been my mighty-God
from my mothers belly.

11 Be thou not farre away from mee,
for tribulation
exceeding great is neere at hand,
for helper there is none.
12 Mee many buls on every side
about have compassed:
the mighty-buls of Bashan have
mee round invironed.
13 They have with their wide-opened-mouths
so gaped mee upon;
like as it were a ravening
and a roaring Lion.
14 As water I am poured-out,
and all my bones sundred:
my heart in midst of my bowels,
is like to wax melted.
15 My strength like a potsherd is dryde;
and my tongue fast-cleaveth
unto
PSALME XII.
unto my jawes, & thou hast brought
me to the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compast me about;
th' assembly me beset
of the wicked; they pierced through
my hands, also my feet.
17 My bones I may them number all:
they lookt, they did me view.
18 My cloths among them they did part:
and lot for my coat threw.
19 But thou Lord be not far, my strength,
to help me hasten thou.
20 My soule from sword, my darling from
the powre of dogs rescue.
21 And from the mouth of the Lion
give me salvation free:
for thou from hornes of Vnicornes
answer hast given mee.
22 Thy name, I will declare to them
that Brethren are to mee:

I will give prayse to thee.

unto perpetuall aye.
27 All ends of th'earth remember shall

and thee all heathen-families
to worship shall accord.
28 Because unto Iehovah doth

and he among the nations

29 Earths-fat-ones, eat & worship shall:
all who to dust descend,
(though none can make alive his soule)

a generation.

4 Yea though in valley of deaths shad

5 For mee a table thou hast spread,
in presence of my foes:

who hath not lifted up his soule,
nor sworne deceitfully.
5 From God he shall receive
a benediction,
and righteousnes from the strong-God

I Lift my soule to thee o Lord.
My God I trust in thee,
let mee not be asham'd: nor let
my foes joy over mee.
3 Yea, all that wait on thee shall not,
be fill'd with shamefulnes:
but they shall be ashamed all,
who without cause transgresse.
4 Thy wayes, Jehovah, make mee know,
thy paths make me discerne.
5 Cause mee my steps to order well,
in thy truth, & mee learne,
For thou God of my saving health,
on thee I wait all day.
6 Thy bowels, Lord, & thy mercyes
minde; for they are for aye.
7 Sinnes of my youth remember not,
neither my trespasses:
after thy mercy minde thou mee
o Lord for thy goodnes.
8 Good and upright God is, therefore
will sinners teach the way.
9 The meek he'lp guide in judgement: &
will teach the meek his way.
10 Jehovahs paths they mercy are,
all of them truth also,
to them that keep his covenant,
and testimonies do.
(2)
11 For thy name sake o Jehovah,
freely doe thou remit
mine
PSALM XXV.
mine owne perverse iniquitie:
because that great is it.
12 Who fears the Lord, him hee will teach
the way that he shall chuse.
13 his soule shall dwell at ease, his seed
as heirs the earth shall vse.
14 The secret of God is with those
that doe him reverence:
and of his covenant he them
will give intelligence.
15 Mine eyes continually are
upon Jehovah set:
for it is hee that will bring forth
my feet out of the net.
16 Vnto me-wards turne thou thy face,
and on mee mercy show:
because I solitary am
afflicted poore also.
17 My hearts troubles inlarged are;
from my distresse me bring.
18 See mine affliction, & my paine;
and pardon all my sin.
19 Mark my foes; for they many are,
and cruelly mee hate,
20 My soule keep, free mee; nor let mee
be sham'd, who on thee wait.
21 Let soundnes, & uprightnesse keep
mee: for I trust in thee.

o God, doe thou set free.

my reins, & my heart try.
3 For thy grace is before mine eyes;
and in thy truth walk I.
4 I sat not with vaine men, nor goe
with men themselves that hide.
5 Evill mens company I hate:
nor will with vile abide.
6 In cleannesse, Lord, I'le wash mine hands,

7 That I may preach with thankfull-voyce,
and all thy prayses sound.
8 The habitation of thy house,
Lord, dearly love doe I,
the place and tabernacle of

3 If that an hosta against mee camp,
my heart undaunted is:
if war against mee should arise,
I am secure in this.
4 One thing of God I asked have,
which I will still request:
that I may in the house of God,
all dayes of my life rest:
To see the beauty of the Lord,
and in his Temple seeke.
5 For in his tent in th'evill-day,
hidden hee will mee keepe:
Hee will me hide in secrecy
of his pavillion:
and will me highly lift upon
the rocks-munition.
6 Moreover at this-time my head
lifted on high shall bee,
above mine enemies, who doe

Therefore in's tent I'le sacrifice,
of joye an offering,

yea, I will prayses sing.

2 Heare thou the voyce of my request

when I lift up mine hands unto

3 With ill men draw me not away,
with workers of unrighteousnes,
that with their neighbours peace doe speak,
but in their hands is wickednes.
4 Give thou to them like to their works
and like the evill of their deeds:
give them like to their handy-works,
and render unto them their meeds.
5 Because unto Jehovahs work
they did not wise-attention yeild,
neither unto his handy work,
them he will wast, but not up-build.
6 The Lord be blest, for he hath heard
the voyce of my requests for grace.
7 God is my strength, my shield, in him
my heart did trust, & helpt I was:
Therefore my heart will gladnes shew,
and with my song I'le him confesse.

9 The Lords voyce makes the hindes to calve,
and makes the forrest bare:
and in his temple every one

Thou hidst thy face, I troubled was.

IN thee, o Lord, I put my trust,

o doe thou mee deliver.
2 Bow downe to mee thine eare, with speed
let mee deliverance have:
be thou my strong rock, for an house
of defence mee to save.
3 Because thou unto mee a rock
and my fortresse wilt bee:
therefore for thy names sake doe thou,
leade mee & guide thou mee.
4 Doe thou mee pull out of the net,
which they have for mee layd
so privily: because that thou
art to mee a sure ayd.
5 Into thy hands my spirit I
reposing doe commit:
Jehovah God of verity,
thou hast redeemed it.
6 I hated them that have regard
to lying vanity:
7 but I in God trust. I'le be glad,
and joy in thy mercy:
Because thou hast considered
my afflicting distresse;
thou hast my soule acknowledged
in painfull anguishes;
8 And thou hast not inclosed mee
within the enemies hand:
thou
mad'st my feet within the place
of
PSALME XXXI.
of liberty to stand.
(2)
9 Have mercy upon mee, o Lord,
for in distresse am I,
with grief mine eye consumed is,
my soule & my belly.
10 For my life with grief & my years
with sighs are consumed:
because of my sin, my strength failes,
and my bones are wasted.
11 To all my foes I was a scorne,
chiefly my neighbours to;
a feare to freinds: they that saw mee
12 I am forgot as a dead man
that's out of memory:
and like a vessel that is broke
ev'n such a one am I.
13 Because that I of many men
the slandering did heare,
round about me on every side
there was exceeding feare:
While as that they did against mee
counsell together take,
they craftily have purposed
my life away to make.
14 But o Iehovah, I in thee
my confidence have put
15 I sayd thou art my God. My times
within thy hand are shut:
From
the hands of mine enemies
doe

doe thou deliver mee,
and from the men who mee against
my persecuters bee.

16 Thy countenance for to shine forth
upon thy servant make:
o give to me salvation
even for thy mercy sake.
17 Let me not be asham'd, o Lord,
for cal'd on thee I have:
let wicked men be sham'd, let them
be silent in the grave.
18 Let lying lips be silenced,
that against men upright
doe speak such things as greivous are;
in pride, & in despight.
19 How great 's thy goodnes, thou for thē
that feare thee hast hidden:
which thou work'st for them that thee trust,
before the Sonnes of men.
20 Thou in the secret of thy face,
shalt hide them from mans pride:
in a pavillion, from the strife
of tongues, thou wilt them hide.
21 O let Iehovah blessed be;
for he hath shewed mee
his loving kindnes wonderfull
in a fenced-cittie.
22 For I in hast sayd, I am cast
from the sight of thine eyes:
yet
thou hearest the voyce of my suit,
when
PSALME XXXI, XXXII.
when to thee were my cryes.
23 O love the Lord all ye his Saints;
because the Lord doth guard
the faithfull, but the proud doer
doth plenteously reward.
24 See that yee be encouraged,
and let your heart wax strong:
all whosoever hopefully
doe for Jehovah long.

A psalme of David, Maschil,
O Blessed is the man who hath
his trespasse pardoned,
and he whose aberration
is wholly covered,
2 O blessed is the man to whom
the Lord imputes not sin:
and he who such a spirit hath
that guile is not therein.
3 When I kept silence then my bones,
began to weare away,
with age; by meanes of my roaring
continuing all the day.
4 For day & night thy hand on mee,
heavily did indure:
into the drought of Summer time
turned is my moisture. Selah.
5 My aberration unto thee
I have acknowledged,
and mine iniquity I have
not closely covered:
Against
my selfe my sin, sayd I,
I will
PSALM XXXII, XXXIII.
I will to God confesse,
and thou didst the iniquitie
forgive of my trespasse. Selah.
6 For this each godly one to thee
in finding time shall pray.
surely in floods of waters great,
come nigh him shall not they.
7 Thou art my hyding-place, thou shalt
from trouble save me out:
thou with songs of deliverance
shalt compasse me about.
8 I will instruct thee, also teach
thee in the way will I
which thou shalt goe, I will to thee
give counsell with mine eye.
9 Like to the horse & mule, which have
noe knowledge be not yee:
whose mouths are held with bridle-bit,
that come not neere to thee.
10 To those men that ungodly are,
their sorrows doe abound:
but him that trusteth in the Lord,
mercy shall compasse round.

yee righteous ones rejoyce;
and all that are upright in heart

4 For the Lords word is right: and all
his works in verity.
5 He loveth righteousnes,
and also equity:
the earth replenished is with
the Lords benignity.
6 By the word of the Lord
the heavens had their frame,
and by the spirit of his mouth,
all the host of the same.
7 The waters of the seas,
he gathers as an heape;
together as in store-houses
he layeth up the deepe.
8 Be all the earth in feare,
because of Jehovah:
let all the dwellers of the world
before him stand in awe.
9 Because he did but speak
the word, & it was made:
he gave out the commandement,
and it was firmly stay'd.
10 The Lord to nought doth bring
the nations counsell; hee
devises of the people makes
of none effect to bee.
11 The counsell of the Lord
abide for ever shall,

12 O blessed nation,
whose God Jehovah is:
and people whom for heritage

13 The Lord from heaven looks,
all Sonnes of men views well.
14 From his firme dwelling hee looks forth,
on all that on earth dwell.
15 The hearts of all of them
alike he fashioneth:
and all their operations
he well considereth.
16 By multitude of boast
there is no King saved,
nor is by multitude of strength
the strong delivered.
17 A horse a vaine thing is
to be a saviour:
nor shall he work deliverance
by greatnes of his power.
18 On them that doe him feare
loe, is Jehovahs eye:
upon them that doe place their hope
on his benignity.

3 Exalt the Lord with mee, his name

4 I sought, God heard, who gave from all

5 Him they beheld, & light'ned were,

6 This poore man cry'd, the Lord him heard,
and freed from all distresse.
7 His camp about them round doth pitch
the Angell of the Lord;
who doe him feare; and to them doth
deliverance afford.
8 O tast, also consider yee,
that God is good: o blest,
that man is ever whose hope doth
for safety in him rest.
9 O stand in feare of Iehovah,

come children hark to mee.
12 Who is the man that willeth life:
and loves good dayes to see?
13 Thy tongue from evill, & thy lips
from speaking guile keep thou.
14 Depart from evill & doe good:
seek peace, and it follow.
15 Vpon the men that righteous are
the Lord doth set his eye:
and likewise he doth bow his eare
when unto him they cry.
16 Jehovahs face is set against
them that doe wickedly:
that he of them from off the earth
may cut the memory.
17 They cry'd, God heard, & set them free,
from their distresses all.
18 To broken hearts the Lord is neere,
and contrite save he shall.
19 The just mans sorrows many are,
from all God sets him free.
20 Hee kepeth all his bones, that none
of them shall broken bee.
21 Evill shall certainly bring death
the wicked man upon:

PLead, Lord, with them that with me plead:
fight against them that fight with mee.
2 Of shield & buckler take thou hold,
stand up my helper for to bee.
3 Draw out the speare & stop the way
'gainst them that my pursuers bee:
and doe thou say unto my soule
I am salvation unto thee.
4 Let them confounded be, & sham'd,
that seek my soule how they may spill:
let them be turned back & sham'd
that in their thoughts devise mine ill.
5 As chaffe before the winde, let them
be, & Gods Angell them driving.
6 Let their way dark & slippery bee,
and the Lords Angell them chasing.
7 For in a pit without a cause,
they hidden have for me a net:
which they without a cause have digg'd
that they there in my soule may get.

and let his net that he doth hide,

11 False witnesses did up arise:
what I knew not they charg'd on mee.
12 Evill for good they mee repay'd,
whereby my soule might spoyled bee,
13 But I, when they were sick, was cloath'd
with sackcloath, & I afflicted
my soule with fasting, & my pray'r
into my bosom returned.
14 I walked as if he had been
my neere freind or mine owne brother:
I heavily bow'd downe as one
that mourneth for his owne mother.
15 But they in mine adversity
rejoyced, & they gathered
themselves together: yea abjects
themselves against mee gathered;
And I was ignorant hereof;
and they unceasantly mee teare,
16 With hypocrites, mockers in feasts;
at me their teeth they gnashing were.

20 Because that they doe not speak peace,
but in their thoughts they doe invent
deceitfull matters against them
that in the land for peace are bent.
21 Gainst me they op'ned their mouths wid•

Psalme 36.
To the chief Musician a psalme of David,
the servant of the Lord.
THe trespasse of the wicked one
saith in assured-wise:
within my heart, the feare of God
is not before his eyes.
2 For in his eyes he sooths himselfe:
his sin is found meane while

iniquity & guile:
He to be wise, to doe good leaves.
4 He mischief plotts on's bed,
he sets himselfe in way not good:
he hath not ill hated.

5 Thy mercy (Lord) in heaven is,
to clouds thy faithfullnes.
6 Thy judgements a great deep, like great

therefore in shadow of thy wings
mens sonnes their trust doe place.
They
PSALME

and of the river of thy joyes
to drink thou shalt them make.
9 For with thee is the spring of life:

10 To them that know thee stretch thy grace;
to right in heart thy right.

FRet not thy selfe because of those

and bee thou doing good,
so shalt thou dwell within the land,
and sure thou shalt have food.
4 Sew that thou set thy hearts delight

and the desyers of thy heart
to thee he will afford.
5 Trust in the Lord: & hee'l it work,
to him commit thy way.

7 Rest in Jehovah, & for him
with patience doe thou stay:
fret not thy selfe because of him
who prospers in his way,
Nor at the man, who brings to passe
the crafts he doth devise.
8 Cease ire, & wrath leave: to doe ill
thy selfe fret in no wife.
9 For evil doers shall be made
by cutting downe to fall:
but those that wayt upon the Lord,
the land inherit shall.
(2)
10 For yet a litle while, & then
the wicked shall not bee:
yea, thou shalt diligently mark
his place, & it not see.
11 But meek ones the inheritance
shall of the earth possesse:
also they shall themselves delight
in multitude of peace.
12 The wicked plotts against the just,
gnashing at him his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: because
his day coming he seeth.
14 The wicked have drawne out their sword,
& bent their bowe have they,
to cast the poor & needy downe,
to kill th'upright in way.
15 Their
PSALME XXXVII.
15 Their sword shall enter their owne heart•
their bowes shall broken bee.
The just mans little, better is
then wickeds treasurie.
17 For th'armes of wicked shall be broke:
the Lord the just doth stay.
18 The Lord doth know upright mens dayes:
and their lot is for aye.
19 Neither shall they ashamed bee
in any time of ill:
and when the dayes of famine come,
they then shall have their fill.
20 But wicked, & foes of the Lord
as lambs fat shall decay:
they shall consume: yea into smoake
they shall consume away.
(3)
21 The man ungodly borroweth,
but he doth not repay:
but he that righteous is doth shew
mercy, & gives away.
22 For such as of him blessed bee,
the earth inherit shall,
and they that of him cursed are,
by cutting downe shall fall.
23 The foot-steps of a godly man
they are by Iehovah
established: & also hee
delighteth in his way.
24 Although he fall, yet shall he not
be utterly downe cast:
because
PSALME XXXVII.
because Jehovah with his hand
doth underprop him fast.
25 I have been young & now am old;
yet have I never seen
the just man left, nor that his seed
for bread have beggars been.
26 But every day hee's mercifull,
and lends: his seed is blest.
27 Depart from evill, & doe good:
and ever dwell at rest.
28 Because the Lord doth judgement love,
his Saints forsakes not hee;
kept ever are they: but cut off
the sinners seed shall bee.
29 The just inherit shall the land,
and therein ever dwell.
30 The just mans mouth wisdome doth speak,
his tongue doth judgement tell.
31The law of his God is in's heart:
none of his steps slideth.
32 The wicked watcheth for the just,
and him to slay seeketh.
33 Jehovah will not such a one
relinquish in his hand,
neither will he condemne him when
adjudged he doth stand.
(4)
34 Wayt on the Lord, & keep his way,
and hee shall thee exalt
th' earth to inherit: when cut off
the wicked see thou shalt.
35 The
PSALME XXXVII, XXXVIII.
35 The wicked men I have beheld
in mighty pow'r to bee:
also himsefe spreading abroad
like to a green-bay-tree.
36 Neverthelesse he past away,
and loe, then was not hee;
moreover I did seek for him,
but found hee could not bee.
37 Take notice of the perfect man,
and the upright attend:
because that unto such a man
peace is his latter end.
38 But such men that transgressors are
together perish shall:
the latter end shall be cut off
of the ungodly all,
39 But the salvation of the just
doth of Jehovah come:
he is their strength to them in times
that are most troublesome.
40 Yea, help & free them will the Lord:
he shall deliver them
from wiced men, because that they
doe put their trust in him.
Psalme 38
A psalme of David,
to bring to remembrance.
LORD, in thy wrath rebuke me not:
nor in thy hot rage chasten mee.
2 Because thine hand doth presse me sore:
and in me thy shafts fastened bee.
3 There
PSALM XXXVIII.
3 There is no soundnes in my
flesh,
because thine anger I am in:
nor is there any rest within
my bones, by reason of my sin.
4 Because that mine iniquityes
ascended are above my head:
like as an heavy burden, they
to heavy upon me are layd.
5 My wounds stink, and corrupt they be:
my foolishnes doth make it so.
6 I troubled am, & much bow'd downe;
all the day long I mourning goe.
7 For with foule sores my loynes are fill'd:
& in my flesh is no soundnes.
8 I'me weak & broken sore; I roar'd
because of my hearts restlessnes.
9 All my desire's before thee, Lord;
nor is my groaning hid from thee.
10 My heart doth pant, my strength me fails:
& mine eye sight is gone from mee.
(2)
11 My freinds & lovers from my sore
stand off: off stand my kinsmen eke.
12 And they lay snares that seek my life,
that seek my hurt, they mischief speak,
And all day long imagin guile,
13 But as one deafe, I did not heare,
and as a dumb man I became
as if his mouth not open were.
14 Thus was I as man that heares not,
&
in whose mouth reproofes none were.
15 Because
PSALME XXXVIII.
15 Because o Lord, in thee I hope:
o Lord my God, thou wilt mee heare
16 For sayd I, left or'e me they joy:
when my foot slips, they vaaunt the more
17 themselves 'gainst me. For I to halt
am neere, my grief's still mee before.
18 For my transgression I'le declare;
I for my sins will sorry bee.
19 But yet my lively foes are strong,
who falsly hate me, multiplie.
20 Moreover they that doe repay
evill in stead of good to mee,
because I follow what is good,
to mee they adversaryes bee.
21 Jehovah, doe not mee forsake:
my God o doe not farre depart
22 from mee. Make hast unto mine ayd,
o
Lord who my salvation art.
Psalme 39
To the chief musician, even to Jeduthun,
a Psalme of David.
I Sayd, I will look to my wayes,
lest I sin with my tongue:
I'le keep my mouth with bit, while I
the wicked am among.
2 With silence tyed was my tongue,
my mouth I did refraine,
From speaking that thing which is good,
and stirred was my paine.
3 Mine heart within me waxed hot,
while I was musing long,
inkindled
PSALM XXXIX.
inkindled in me was the fire;
then spake I with my tongue.
4 Mine end, o Lord, & of my dayes
let mee the measure learne;
that what a momentany thing
I am I may discerne.
5 Behold thou mad'st my dayes a span,
mine age as nought to thee:
surely each man at's best estate,
is wholly vanity. Selah.
6 Sure in a vaine show walketh man;
sure stir'd in vaine they are:
he heaps up riches, & knows not
who shall the same gather.
(2)
7 And now, o Lord what wayt I for?
my hope is upon thee.
8 Free me from all my trespasses:
the fooles scorne make not mee.
9 I was dumb nor opned my mouth,
this done because thou hast.
10 Remove thy stroke away from mee:
by thy hands blow I wast.
11 When with rebukes thou dost correct
man for iniquity;
thou blast's his beauty like a moth:
sure each man 's vanity. Selah.
12 Heare my pray'r, Lord, hark to my cry,
be not still at my tears:
for stranger, & pilgrim with thee,
I 'me, as all my fathers.
13 O

that I may strength recall:
before I doe depart from hence,
and be noe more at all.
Psalme 40.
To the chief musician, a psalme-
of David.
WIth expectation for the Lord
I wayted patiently,
and hee inclined unto mee.
also he heard my cry.
2 He brought mee out of dreadfull-pit,
out of the miery clay:
and set my feet upon a rock,
hee stablished my way.
3 And in my mouth put a new song,
of prayse our God unto:
many shall see, & feare, upon
the Lord shall trust also.
4 Blest is the man that on the Lord
maketh his trust abide:
nor doth the proud respect, nor such
to lies as turne aside.
5 O thou Jehovah, thou my God,
hast many a wonder wrought:
and likewise towards us thou hast
conceived many a thought.
Their summe cannot be reck'ned up,
in order unto thee:
would I declare & speak of them,
beyond account they bee.
6 Thou
PSALM XL.
(2)
6 Thou sacrifice & offering
wouldst not; thou boar'st mine eare:
burnt offring, & sin offering
thou neither didst requere.
7 Then sayd I: loe, I come: ith books

8 To doe thy will, God, I delight,

9 In the great congregation
thy righteousnes I show:
loe, I have not refraynd my lips,
Jehovah, thou dost know.
10 I have not hid thy righteousnes
within my heart alone:
I have declar'd thy faithfullnes
and thy salvation:
Thy mercy nor thy truth have I
from the great Church conceald.
11 Let not thy tender mercyes bee
from mee o Lord with-held.
Let both thy kindnes & thy truth
keep me my life throughout.
12 Because innumerable ills
have compast mee about:
My sins have caught me so that I
not able am to see:
more are they then hairs of my head,
therefore my heart fails mee

Let them be driven back, & sham'd,

that seek thee: let them say

Psalme 41

BLessed is hee that wisely doth

the Lord will him deliverance
in time of trouble send.
2 Him God will keep, & make to live,
on earth hee blest shall be,
nor doe thou him unto the will
give of his enemie.

thou also wilt make all his bed
within his sicknes time.

heale thou my soule, because that I
have sinned against thee.
5 Those men that be mine enemies,

when will the time come hee shall dye,
and perish shall his name?
6 And if he come to see mee, hee
speaks vanity: his heart
sin to it selfe heaps, when hee goes
forth hee doth it impart.
(2)
7 All that me hate, against mee they
together whisper still:
against me they imagin doe
to mee malicious ill.
8 Thus doe they say some ill disease,
unto him cleaveth sore:
and seing now he lyeth downe,
he shall rise up noe more.
9 Moreover my familiar freind,
on whom my trust I set,
his heele against mee lifted up,
who of my bread did eat.
10 But Lord me pitty, & mee rayse,
that I may them requite.
11 By this I know assuredly,
in mee thou dost delight:
For o're mee triumphs not my foe,

in

LIke as the Hart panting doth bray
after the water brooks,
even in such wise o God, my soule,
after thee panting looks.
2 For God, even for the living God,
my soule it thirsteth sore:
oh when shall I come & appeare,
the face of God before.
3 My teares have been unto mee meat,
by night also by day,
while all the day they unto mee
where is thy God doe say.
4 When as I doe in minde record
these things, then me upon
I doe my soule out poure, for I
with multitude had gone:
With them unto Gods house I went
with voyce of joy & prayse:
I with
PSALM XLII.
I with a multitude did goe
that did keepe-holy-days.
5 My soule why art cast downe? & act
stirr'd in mee: thy hope place
in God, for yet him prayse I shall
for the help of his face.
(2)
6 My God, my soule in mee's cast downe,
therefore thee minde I will
from Iordanes & Hermonites land,
and from the litle hill.
7 At the noyse of thy water spouts
deep unto deep doth call:
thy waves they are gone over mee,
also thy billowes all.
8 His loving kindnes yet the Lord
command will in the day:
and in the night his song with mee,
to my lifes God I'le pray.
9 I unto God will say, my Rock
why hast thou forgot mee?
why goe I sad, by reason of
pressure of th' enemie.
10 As with a sword within my bones
my foes reproach mee do:
while all the day, where is thy God?
they doe say mee unto.
11 My soule o wherefore dost thou bowe
thy selfe downe heavily;
and wherefore in mee makest thou
a stirr tumultuously?

Hope thou in God, because I shall

JUdge me, o God, & plead my cause
from nation mercylesse;
from the guilefull & man unjust,

2 For of my strength thou art the God,
why cast's thou mee thee fro:
why goe I mourning for the sore
oppression of the foe?
3 Thy light o send out & thy truth,
let them lead, & bring mee,
unto thy holy hill, & where
thy tabernacles bee.
4 Then will I to Gods Altar goe,
to God my joyes gladnes:
upon the Harp o God my God
I will thy prayse expresse.
5 My soule o wherfore dost thou howe

PSAL.
PSALM XLIV.
WEE with our eares have heard, o God,
our fathers have us told,
what works thou diddest in their dayes,
in former dayes of old.
2 How thy hand drave the heathen out,
and them thou planted hast;
how thou the people didst afflict,
and thou didst them out-cast.
3 For they got not by their owne sword
the lands possession,
neither yet was it their owne arme
wrought their salvation:
But thy right hand, thine arme also,
thy countenances light;
because that of thine owne good will
thou didst in them delight.
4 Thou art my king, o mighty God,
thou dost the same indure:
doe thou for Iacob by command
deliverances procure.
5 Through thee as with a horne wee will
push downe our enemies:
through thy name will wee tread them downe
that up against us rise.
6 Because that I will in no wise
any affiance have,
upon my bow, neither is it
my sword that shall mee save.
7 But from our enemies us thou sav'd,
and put our foes to shame.
8 In God
wee boast all the day long,
and
PSALME XLIV.
and for aye prayse thy name. Selah.
(2)
9 But thou hast cast us off away,
thou makest us also
to be asham'd; neither dost thou
forth with our armies goe.
10 Vs from before the enemy
thou makest back recoyle:
likewise they which our haters bee,
for themselves us doe spoyle.
11 Thou hast us given like to sheep
to slaughter that belong:
also thou hast us scattered
the heathen folk among.
12 Thou dost thy people set to sale
whereby no wealth doth rise:
neither dost thou obtaine increase
of riches by their price.
13 Vnto our neighbours a reproach
thou doest us expose,
a scorne we are & 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 me my confusion
it is continually,
and of my countenance the shame
hath over covered mee.
16 Because
of his voyce that doth scorne,
and
PSALM XLIV.
and scoffingly despight:
by reason of the enemy,
and selfe revenging wight.
(3)
17 All this is come on us, wee yet
have not forgotten thee:
neither against thy covenant
have wee dealt faithleslie.
18 Our heart is not turn'd back, nor have
our steps from thy way stray'd;
19 Though us thou brake in dragons place,
and hid us in deaths shade.
20 had wee forgot Gods name, or stretcht
to a strange God our hands:
21 Shall not God search this out? for hee
hearts secrets understands.
22 Yea, for thee all day wee are kil'd:
counted as sheep to slay.
23 Awake, why sleepst thou, Lord? arise,
cast us not off for aye.
24 Thy countenance away from us
o wherefore dost thou hide?
of our grief & oppression
forgetfull dost abide.
25 For our soule is bowd downe to dust:
to earth cleaves our belly.
26 Rise for our help, & us redeeme,
because of thy mercy.

MY heart good mater boyleth forth,
my works touching the King
I speak: my tongue is as the pen
of Scribe swiftly writing.
2 Fairer thou art then sonnes of men,
grace in thy lips is shed:
because of this the Lord hath thee
for evermore blessed.
3 Thy wasting sword o mighty one
gird thou upon thy thigh:
thy glorious-magnificence,
and comely majesty.
4 Ride forth upon the word of truth,
meeknes & righteousnes:
and thy right hand shall lead thee forth
in works of dreadfulnes.
5 Within the heart of the kings foes
thine arrows piercing bee:
whereby the people overcome,
shall fall downe under thee.
6 Thy throne o God, for ever is,
the scepter of thy state
7 right scepter is. Justice thou lov'st,
but wickednes dost hate:
Because of this, God ev'n thy God
hee hath annoynted thee,
with oyle of gladnes above them,
that thy companions bee.
8 Myrths, Aloes, and Cassias smell,
all of thy garments had:
out
of the yvory pallaces
whereby
PSALM XLV.
wherby they made thee glad.
9 Amongst thine honourable maids
kings daughters present were,
the Queen is set at thy right hand
in fine gold of Ophir.
(2)
10 Harken o daughter, & behold,
doe thou incline thine eare:
doe thou forget thine owne people,
and house of thy father.
11 So shall the king delighting-rest
himselfe in thy beautie:
and bowing downe worship thou him,
because thy Lord is hee.
12 Then shall be present with a gift
the daughter there of Tyre:
the wealthy ones of the people
thy favour shall desire.
13 The daughter of the king she is
all glorious within:
and with imbroderies of gold,
her garments wrought have been.
14 She is led in unto the king
in robes with needle wrought:
the virgins that doe follow her
shall unto thee be brought.
15 They shall be brought forth with gladnes,
also with rejoycing,
so shall they entrance have into
the Pallace of the king.
16 Thy children shall in stead of those
that were thy fathers bee:
whom

Though mountaines move to midst of seas
3 Though waters roaring make

4 There is a river streames whereof

the holy place the tent wherin
abideth the most high.
5 God is within the midst of her,
moved shee shall not bee:
God shall be unto her an help,
in the morning early.
6 The nations made tumultuous noyse,

in fire the chariots burnes.

6 And the heavens shall his righteousnes
shew forth apparentlie:
because the mighty God himselfe
a righteous judge will bee. Selah.
(2)
7 Heare, o my people, & I will
speake, I will testify
also to thee o Israell,
I even thy God am I.
8 As for thy sacrifices I
will finde no fault with thee,
or thy burnt offrings, which have been
at all times before mee.
9 Ile take no bullocks, nor he-goates
from house, or foldes of thine.
10 For sorrest beasts, & cattell all
on thousand hills are mine.
11 The flying foules of the mountaines
all of them doe I know:
and every wilde beast of the field
it is with mee also.
12 If I were hungry I would not
it unto thee declare:
for mine the habitable world,
and fullnes of it are.
13 Of bullocks eate the flesh, or drink
the blood of goates will I?
14 Thanks
offer unto God, & pay
thy
PSALME L.
thy vowes to the most high.
15 And in the day of trouble sore
doe thou unto mee cry,
and I will thee deliver, and
thou mee shalt glorify.
(3)
16 But to the wicked God sayth, why
dost thou the mention make
of my statutes, why in thy mouth
should'st thou my cov'nant take?
17 Sith thou dost hate teaching and dost
my words behinde thee cast.
18 When thou didst see a thief, then thou
with him 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,
Thou sittest, thou dost speake against
the man that is thy brother:
and thou dost slaunder him that is
the sonne of thine owne mother.
21 These things hast thou committed, and
in silence I kept close:
that I was altogether like
thy selfe, thou didst suppose,
I'le thee reprove, & in order
before thine eyes them set.
22 O therefore now consider this
yee that doe God forget:
Lest
I you teare, & there be not
any
PSALM L, LI.
any deliverer.
23 He glorifieth mee that doth
prayse unto mee offer.
24 And hee that doth order aright
his conversation,
to him will I give that hee may
see Gods salvation.
Psalme 51.
To the chief musician, a psalme of David, when
Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he
had gone in unto Bathsheba.
HAve mercy upon mee o God,
in thy loving kyndnes:
in multitude of thy mercyes
blot out my trespasses.
2 From mine iniquity doe thou
wash mee most perfectly,
and also from this sin of mine
doe thou mee purify.
3 Because, of my transgressions
my selfe doe take notice,
and sin that I committed have
before mee ever is.
4 Gainst thee, thee only I have sin'd
this ill done thee before:
when thou speakst just thou art, & cleare
when thou dost judge therfore.
5 Behold, how in iniquity
I did my shape receive:
also my mother that mee bare
in sin did mee conceive.
6 Behold
PSALME
LI.
6 Behold, thou dost desire the truth
within the inward part:
and thou shalt make mee wisdome know
in secret of my heart.
7 With hysope doe me purify,
I shall be cleansed so:
doe thou mee wash, & then I shall
be whiter then the snow.
8 Of joy & of gladnes doe thou
make me to heare the voyce:
that so the bones which thou hast broke
may cheerfully rejoyce.
9 From the beholding of my sin
hide thou away thy face:
also all mine iniquityes
doe utterly deface.
(2)
10 A cleane heart (Lord) in me create,
also a spirit right
11 in me renew. O cast not mee
away out of thy sight;
Nor from me take thy holy spirit.
12 Restore the joy to mee
of thy salvation, & uphold
me with thy spirit free.
13 Then will I teach thy wayes to those
that work iniquirie:
and by this meanes shall sinners bee
converted unto thee.
14 O God, God of my health, set mee
free from bloud guiltines,
and
PSALM LI.
and so my tongue shall joyfully
sing of thy righteousnes.
15 O Lord-my-stay, let thou my lips
by thee be opened,
and by my mouth thy prayses shall
be openly shewed.
16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice,
it would I freely bring:
neither dost thou contentment take
in a whole burnt offring.
17 The sacrifices of the Lord
they are a broken spirite:
God, thou wilt not despise a heart
that's broken, & contrite.
18 In thy good pleasure o doe thou
doe good to Sion hill:
the walles of thy Jerusalem
o doe thou build up still.
19 The sacrifice of justice shall
please thee, with burnt offring,
and whole burnt offring; then they shall
calves to thine Altar bring.
Another of the same.
O GOD, have mercy upon mee,
according to thy kindenes deare:
and as thy mercyes many bee,
quite doe thou my transgressions cleare.
2 From my perversnes mee wash through,
and from my sin mee purify.
3 For
my transgressions I doe know,
before
PSALME LI.
before mee is my sin dayly.
4 Gainst thee, thee only sin'd have I,
& done this evill in thy sight:
that when thou speakst thee justify
men may, and judging cleare thee quite.
5 Loe, in injustice shape't I was:
in sin my mother conceav'd mee.
6 Loe, thou in th'inwards truth lov'd haz
and made mee wise in secrecie.
7 Purge me with hyssope, & I cleare
shall be; mee wash, & then the snow
8 I shall be whiter. Make me heare
Joy & gladnes, the bones which so
Thou broken hast joy cheerly shall.
9 Hyde from my sins thy face away
blot thou iniquityes out all
which are upon mee any way.
(2)
10 Create in mee cleane heart at last
God: a right spirit in me new make.
11 Nor from thy presence quite me cast,
thy holy spright nor from me take.
12 Mee thy salvations joy restore,
and stay me with thy spirit free.
13 I wil, transgressors teach thy lore,
and sinners shall be turnd to thee.
14 Deliver mee from guilt of bloud,
o God, God of my health-saving,
which if thou shalt vouchsafe, aloud
thy righteousnes my tongue shall sing.
15 My lips doe thou, o Lord, unclose,
PSALM LI.
and thy prayse shall my mouth forth show
16 For sacrifice thou hast not chose,
that I should it on thee bestow:
Thou joy'st not in burnt sacrifice.
17 Gods sacrifices are a sp'ryte
broken; o God, thou'lt not despise,
a heart that's broken & contrite.
18 In thy good will doe thou bestow
on Sion goodnes bounteouslie:
Jerusalems walles that lye so low
doe thou vouchsafe to edifie.
19 Then shalt thou please to entertaine
the sacrifices with content
of righteousnes, the offrings slaine,
which unto thee wee shall present,
Together with the offerings
such as in fire whole burned are:
and then they shall thei• bullocks bring,
offrings
to be on thine altar.
Psalme 52
To the chief musician, Maschil. a psalme of
David: when Doeg the Edomite came and
told Saule, & sayd unto him, Dauid is
come to the house of Ahimilech.
O man of might, wherefore dost th•u
thus boast thy selfe in ill?
the goodnes of the mighty God
endureth ever still.
2 Thy tongue presumptuously doth
mischievous things devise:
it
is like to a razor sharp,
working
PSALME LII, LIII.
working deceitfull lies.
3 Thou lovest evil 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
destroying thee deface,
he shall take thee away, & pluck
thee from thy dwelling place,
And also root thee out from off
the land of the living. Shelah.
6 The righteous also shall it see
and feare, at him laughing.
7 Loe, this the man that made not God
his strength: but trusted in
his store of wealth, himselfe made strong
in his mischievous sin.
8 But in the house of God am I
like a greene Olive-tree:
I trust for ever & for aye,
in Gods benignitie.
9 Thee will I prayse for evermore,
because thou h•st done this:
and I'le wayt on thy name, for good,
before thy Saints that is.
Psalme 53.
To the chief musician upon Mahalath,
Maschil. A psalme of David.
THe foo'e in's heart saith, there's no God,
they are corrupt, have done
abominable
practises;
that
PSALM LIII, LIV.
that doth good there is none.
2 The Lord from heaven looked downe
on sonnes of men, to see
if any that doth understand,
that seeketh God there bee.
3 All are gone back, together they
ev'n filthy are become:
and there is none that doeth good,
noe not so much as one.
4 The workers of iniquityes
have they noe knowledge all?
who eate my people: they eate bread;
and on God doe not call.
5 Greatly they fear'd, where noe feare was,
'gainst thee in camp that lyes
his bones God scattered; & them sham'd
for God doth them despise.
6 Who Israells health from Sion gives?
his folks captivitie
when God shall turne: Jacob shall joye
glad Israell shall bee.
Psalme 54
To the chief musician on Neginoth, Maschil,
a psalm: of David, when the Ziphims came & sayd
to Saul, doth not David hide himselfe with us?
PReserve mee, by thy name, o God,
& by thy strength judge mee.
2 O God, my pray'r heare, give eare to
words in my mouth that bee.
3 For strangers up against me rise,
and who oppresse me sore,
pursue
PSALME LIIII, LV.
pursue my soule; neither have they
set God themselves before. Selah.
4 Loe, God helps mee, the Lord's with them
that doe my soule sustaine.
5 He shall reward ill to my foes:
them in thy truth restrayne.
6 Vnto thee sacrifice will I,
with voluntarines;
Lord, to thy name I will give prayse,
because of thy goodnes.
7 For he hath mee delivered,
out of all miseryes:
and its desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemyes.
Psalme 55
To the chief musician on Neginoth, Maschil,
a psalme of David.
O GOD, doe thou give eare unto
my supplication:
and doe not hide thy selfe away
from my petition.
2 Bee thou attentive unto mee,
and answer mee returne,
I in my meditation
doe make a noyse & mourne.
3 Because of th'enemies voyce, because
the wicked haue opprest,
for they injustice on mee cast
and in wrath mee detest.
4 My heart in mee is payn'd, on mee
deaths terrors fallen bee.
5. Trembling
PSALM LV.
5 Trembling & feare are on mee come,
horrour hath covered mee.
6 Then did I say, o who to mee
wings of a dove will give;
that I might flie away & might
in quiet dwelling live.
7 Loe, I would wander farre away,
and in the desart rest. Selah,
8 Soone would I scape from windy storm•,
from violent tempest.
(2)
9 Lord bring on them destruction,
doe thou their tongues divide;
for strife & violence I within
the city have espy'd.
10 About it on the walles thereof,
they doe walk night & day:
mischief also & sorrow doe
in middest of it stay.
11 In midst thereof there's wickednes;
deceitfullnes also,
and out of the broad streets thereof
guilefullnes doth not go.
12 For t'was no foe reproache mee, then
could I have borne; nor did
my foe against me lift himselfe
from him had I me hid.
13 But thou it was, the man that wert
my well esteemed peere,
which wast to mee my speciall guide,
and mine acquaintance neere.
14 Wee
PSALME LV.
14 Wee did together counsell take
in sweet society:
and wee did walk into the house
of God in company.
15 Let death seize on them, & let them
goe downe quick into hell:
for wickednes among them is
in places where they dwell.
(2)
16 As for mee, I will call on God;
and mee the Lord save shall.
17 Ev'ning morn, & at noon will I
pray, & aloud will call,
18 and he shall heare my voyce. He hath
in peace my soule set free
from warre that was 'gainst mee, because
there many were with mee.
19 God shall heare, & them smite, ev'n he
that doth of old abide; Selah.
because they have no change, therefore
Gods feare they lay aside.
20 Gainst such as be at peace with him
hee hath put forth his hand:
he hath also the covenant
which he had made prophan'd.
21 His words then butter smoother were,
but warre in's heart: his words
more then the oyle were softened
but yet they were drawne swords.
22 Thy burden cast upon the Lord,
and he sustaine thee shall:
nor
PSALM LV, LVI.
nor shall he suffer righteous ones
to be remov'd at all.
23 But thou o God, shalt downe to hell
bring them who bloody bee,
guilefull shall not live halfe their days,
but I will trust in thee.
Psalme 56.
To the chief musician upō Ionath Elem Recho-
kim, Michtam of David, when the Philistins
tooke him in Gath.
LORD, pitty mee, because
man would up swallow mee:
and fighting all the day throughou•,
oppresse mee sore doth hee.
2 Mine enemies they would
me swallow up dayly;
for they be many that doe fight
against mee, o most high.
3 I'le put my trust in thee,
what time I am afrayd.
4 In God I'le prayse his word, in God
my confidence have stayd,
I will not be afrayd
what flesh can doe to mee.
5 All day they wrest my words: their thought•
for ill against me bee.
6 They joyne themseves together;
themselves they closely hyde;
they mark my steps when for my soule
wayting they doe abyde.
7 Shall
they make an escape
by
PSALM LVI, LVII.
by their iniquity;
thou in thine anger downe depresse
the folk, o God mighty.
8 My wandrings thou dost tell,
put thou my weeping teares
into thy bottle; •re they not
within thy registers.
9 Then shall my foes turne back,
when I crye unto thee:
this I doe know assuredly,
because God is for mee.
10 In God I'le p•ayse his word:
the Lords word I will prayse.
11 In God I trust: I will not feare
what man 'gainst mee can rayse.
12 Thy vowes on me o God;
I'le render prayse to thee.
13 Because that thou my soule from death
delivering dost free;
Deliver wilt not thou
my feet from downe falling?
so that I may walk before God
ith light of the living.
Psalme 57
To the chief musician Altaschith, Michtam of
David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
O GOD, to me be mercifull,
be mercifull to mee:
because my soule for shelter-safe
betakes it selfe to thee.
Yea in the shaddow of thy wings,
my refuge I have plac't,
until
PSALM LVII.
untill these sore calamities
shall quite be over past.
2 To God most high I cry: the God
that doth for me performe.
3 He will from heaven send, & save
mee from the spightfull scorne
Of him that would with greedy hast,
swallow me vtterly: Selah.
the Lord from heaven will send sorth
his grace & verity.
4 My soule's 'mongst lions, & I lye
with men on-fier-set:
mens sonnes whose teeth are spears, & shafts,
whose tongues as swords are whet.
5 O God, doe thou exalt thy selfe,
above the heavens high:
up over all the earth also
lifted be thy glory.
6 They for my steps prepar'd a net,
my soule is bow'd; a pit
they dig'd before me, but themselves
are fall'n in midst of it. Selah.
7 My heart o God, prepared is,
prepared is my heart,
sing will I, & sing prayse with psalmes,
8 Vp o my glorie start;
Wake Psaltery & Harp, I will
awake in the morning.
9 Among the folk I'le prayse thee, Lord,
'mongst nations to thee sing.
10 For
PSALME LVII, LVIII.
10 For great unto the heavens is
thy mercifull bounty:
thy verity also doth reach
unto the cloudy skye.
11 O God, doe thou exalt thy selfe,
above the heavens high:
up over all the earth also
lifted be thy glory.
Psalme 58
To the chief musician, Altaschith,
michtam of David.
DOe yee o congregation,
indeed speak righteousnes?
and o yee sons of earthly men,
doe yee judge uprightnes?
2 Yea you in heart will working be
injurious-wickednes;
and in the land you will weigh out
your hands violentnes.
3 The wicked are estranged from
the womb, they goe astray
as soone as ever they are borne;
uttering lyes are they.
4 Their poyson's like serpents poyson:
they like deafe Aspe, her eare
5 that stops. Though Charmer wisely charme,
his voice she will not heare.
6 Within their mouth doe thou their teeth
break out, o God most strong,
doe thou Jehovah, the great teeth
break of the lions young.
7 As
PSALM LVIII, LIX.
7 As waters let them melt away,
that run continually:
and when he bends his shafts, let them
as cut asunder bee.
8 Like to a snayle that melts, so let
each of them passe away;
like to a womans untimely birth
see Sun that neuer they may.
9 Before your potts can feele the thornes,
take them away shall hee,
as with a whirlwinde both living,
and in his jealousee.
10 The righteous will rejoyce when as
the vengeance he doth see:
his feet wash shall he in the blood
of them that wicked bee.
11 So that a man shall say, surely
for righteous there is fruit:
sure there's a God that in the earth
judgement doth execute.
Psalme 59
To the chief musician Altaschith, Michtam
of David: when Saul sent, & they watched the
house to kill him.
O GOD from them deliver mee
that are mine enemies:
set thou me up on high from them
that up against me rise.
2 Deliver mee from them that work
grievous-iniquity:
and
be a saviour unto mee
from
PSALME LIX.
from men that be bloody.
3 For loe, they for my soule lay wayt;
the strong causlesse combine
against me, not for my crime, Lord,
nor any sin of mine.
4 Without iniquity in me
they run, & ready make
themselves, doe thou behold, also
unto my help awake.
5 Lord God of hoast, thou Israels God,
rise to visit therefore
all heathens; who sin wilfully,
to them shew grace no more.
6 At ev'ning they returne, & like
to dogs a noyse doe make;
and so about the city round
a compasse they doe take.
7 Behold they belch out with their mouths,
within their lips swords are:
for who is he (doe these men say)
which us at all doth heare.
8 But thou o Lord, at them wilt laugh,
and heathens all wilt mock.
9 And for his strength I'le wayt on thee
for God is my high Rock.
(2)
10 God of my mercy manyfold
with good shall prevent mee:
and my desire upon my foes
the Lord will let mee see.
11 Slay
them not, lest my folk forget:
but
PSALM LIX.
but scatter them abroad
by thy strong-power; & bring them downe,
who art our shield o God.
12 For their mouths sin, & their lips words,
and in their pride them take:
and for their cursing, & lying
which in their speech they make.
13 Consume in wrath, consume & let
them be no more; that they
may know that God in Iacob rules,
to th'ends of th'earth. Selah.
14 And at ev'ning let them returne,
and like dogs a noyse make;
and so about the citty round
a compasse let them take.
15 And let them wander up & downe
seeking what they may eat,
and if they be not satisfiyde,
then let them grudge thereat.
16 But I will sing thy powre; & shout
i'th morning thy kindenesse:
for thou my towre & refuge art
in day of my distresse.
17 Thou art my strength, & unto thee,
sing psalmes of prayse will I:
for God is mine high towte, he is
the God of my mercy.

Joab
PSALME LX.
Joab returned, & smote of Edom in the valley
of salt, twelve thousand.
O GOD, thou hast rejected us,
and scattered us abroad:
thou hast displeased been with us,
returne to us o God.
2 The land to tremble thou hast caus'd,
thou it asunder brake:
doe thou the breaches of it heale,
for it doth moveing shake.
3 Thou hast unto thy people shew'd
things that are hard, thou hast
also the cup of trembleing
given to them to tast.
4 But unto them that doe thee feare,
a Banner to display
thou given hast to be lift up
for thy truths sake. Selah.
5 That those who thy beloved are
delivered may bee,
o doe thou save with thy right hand,
and answer give to mee.
6 God in his holynes hath spoke,
rejoyce therein will I,
Shechem I will divide, & meete
of Succoth the valley.
7 To mee doth Gilead appertaine,
Manasswh mine besides:
Ephraim the strength is of my head,
Judah my lawes prescribes.
8 Moab's
my wash-pot, I will cast
over
PSALM LX, LXI.
over Edom my shoo,
o Palestine, because of mee
be thou triumphant too.
9 O who is it that will mee lead
to th'citty fortifyde?
and who is he that will become
into Edom my guide?
10 Is it not thou, o God, who hadst
cast us off heretofore?
and thou o God, who with our hoasts
wouldst not goe out before?
11 O give to us help from distresse
for mans help is but vaine:
12 Through God wee I doe great acts, he shall
our foes tread with disdaine.
Psalme 61
To the chief musician upon Neginath,
A psalme of David.
HArken o God, unto my cry,
unto my prayr attend.
2 When my heart is opprest, I'le cry
to thee from the earths end.
Doe thou mee lead unto the rock
that higher is then I.
3 For thou my hiding-place, hast been
strong Fort from th'enemy.
4 Within thy Tabernacle I
for ever will abide,
within the covert of thy wings
I'le seek my selfe to hide. Selah·.
5 For
thou o God, hast heard the vowes
that
PSALM LXI, LXII.
that I to thee have past:
their heritage that feare thy name
to mee thou given hast.
6 Thou to the dayes of the Kings life
wilt make addition.
his yeares as generation,

7 Before the face of the strong God
he shall abide for aye:
doe thou mercy & truth prepare
that him preserve they may.
8 So then I will unto thy name
sing prayse perpetually,
that I the vowes which I have made
may pay continually.
Psalme 62
To the chief musician, to Jeduthun,
a psalme of David.
TRuly my soule in silence waytes
the mighty God upon:
from him it is that there doth come
all my salvation.
2 He only is my rock, & my
salvation; it is hee
that my defence is, so that I
mov'd greatly shall not bee.
3 How long will yee mischief devise
'gainst man; be slaine yee shall,
all yee are as a tortring fence,
& like a bowing wall.
4 Yet
they consult to cast him downe
from
PSALM LXII.
from his excellency:
lyes they doe love, with mouth they blesse.
but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 thou my soule in silent wayt
the mighty God upon:
because from him there doth arise
my expectation.
6 He only is my rock, & my
salvation; it is hee
that my defence is, so that I
shall never mooved bee.
7 In God is my salvation,
also is my glory:
and the rock of my fortitude,
my hope in God doth ly.
8 Yee people, see that you on him,
doe put your trust alway,
before him poure ye out your hearts:
God is our hopefull-stay. Selah.
9 Surely meane men are vanity
high mens sonnes are a lye:
in ballance laid together are
lighter then vanity.
10 In robbery be not vaine, trust nor

if so be riches doe increase
set not your heart thereon.
11 The mighty God hath spoken once,
once & againe this word
I have it heard that all power
belongs unto the Lord.
12 Also
PSALME LXII, LXIII.
12 Also to thee benignity

for thou according to his work

Psalme 63
A psalme of David, when he was in the
wildernes of Judah.
O GOD, thou art my God, early
I will for thee inquire:
my soule thirsteth for thee, my flesh
for thee hath strong desire,
In land where as no water is
that thirsty is & dry.
2 To see, as I saw in thine house
thy strength & thy glory.
3 Because thy loving kindenes doth
abundantly excell
ev'n life it selfe: wherefore my lips
forth shall thy prayses tell.
4 Thus will I blessing give to thee
whilst that alive am I:
and in thy name I will lift up
these hands of mine on hight.
5 My soule as with marrow & fat
shall satisfied bee:
my mouth also with joyfull lips
shall prayse give unto thee,
6 When as that I remembrance have
of thee my bed upon,
and on thee in the night watches
have meditation.
7 Be-
PSALM LXIII, LXIV.
7 Because that thou hast been to me
he that to me help brings;
therefore will I sing joyfully
in shaddow of thy wings.
8 My soule out of an ardent love
doth follow after thee:
also thy right hand it is that
which hath upholden mee.
9 But as for those that seek my soule,
to bring it to an end,
they shall into the lower parts
of the earth downe descend.
10 By the hand of the sword also
they shall be made to fall:
and they be for a portion
unto the Foxes shall.
11 But the King shall rejoyce in God,
all that by him doe sweare
shall glory, but stopped shall be
their mouths that lyars are.
Psalme 64
To the chief musician, a psalme
of David.
O GOD, when I my prayer make,
my voyce then doe thou heare;
also doe thou preserve my life
safe from the enemies feare.
2 And from the secret counsell of
the wicked hide thou mee:
from th' insurection of them
that work iniquitee.
3 Who
PSALME LXIV.
3 Who have their tongue now sharpened
like as it were a sword;
and bend their bowes to shoot their shafts
ev'n a most bitter word:
4 That they in secrecie may shoot
the perfect man to hitt.
suddenly doe they shoot at him,
& never feare a whitt.
5 Them selves they in a matter ill
encourage; how they may
lay snares in secret, thus they talk;
who shall them see? they say.
6 They doe search out iniquity,
a search exact they keep:
both inward thought of euery man

7 But God shall shoot at them a shaft,
be sudden their wound shall.
8 So that they shall make their owne tongue
upon themeslves to fall,
All that see them shall flee away.
9 All men shall feare, & tell
the works of God, for his doeing
they shall consider well.
10 The just shall in the Lord be glad,
and trust in him he shall:
and they that upright are in heart
in him shall glory all.

PSALM
PSALM LXV.
O GOD, in Sion silently
prayse wayteth upon thee:
and thankfully unto thee shall
the vow performed bee.
2 O thou that harken dost unto
the prayr that men doe make,
ev'n unto thee therefore all flesh
themselves they shall betake.
3 Works of iniquitie they have
prevailed against mee;
as for our trespresses they shall
be purgde away by thee.
4 O blessed is the man of whom
thou thy free choyce dost make;
and that he may dwell in thy courts
him neere to thee dost take:
For with the good things of thy house
be satisfyde shall wee;
and with the holy things likwise
that in thy temple bee.
5 In righteousnes, thou, by the things
that dreadfully are done,
awilt answer give to us, o God,
of our salvation:
Vpon whom all the ends of th'earth
do confidently stay,
& likewise they that are remov'd
far off upon the sea.

out goings of the morning thou

9 Thou visitest the earth, & dost
it moisten plenteously,
thou with Gods streame, full of water
enrichest it greatly:
When thou hast so prepared it,
thou dost them corne prepare.
10 The ridges thou abundantly
watrest that in it are;
The furrows of it thou setlest,
with showers that do fall
thou makst it soft, thou dost therof
the springing blesse withall.
11 Thou dost the yeare with thy goodnes
adorne as with a crowne,
also the paths where thou dost tread,
fatnes they doe drop downe.
12 They drop upon the pastures that
are in the wildernes;
and girded are the little hills
about with joyfullnes.
13 Clothed the pastures are with flocks,
corne over-covering
the valleys is; so that for joy
they shout, they also sing.

Psalme 66

O All yee lands, a joyfull noyse

2 Sing forth the honour of his name:

3 How dreadfull in thy works art thou?
unto the Lord say yee:
through thy powres greatnes thy foes shall

4 All they shall bow themselves to thee
that dwell upon the earth,
and sing unto thee, they shall sing
unto thy name with mirth. Selah.
5 Come hither, also of the works

a place that wealthy was·
13 With offrings I'le go to thine house:
my vowes I'le pay to thee.
14 Which my lips uttred, & mouth spake,
when trouble was on mee.
15 Burnt offrings I'le offer to thee

with the incense of rams, I will
bullocks with goates prepare. Selah.
16 Come harken unto me all yee (3 part)

and what he hath done for my soule
to you I will declare.
17 With mouth I cryde to him, & with

18 If in my heart I sin regard
the Lord will not heare mee.
19 But God that is most mighty hath
me heard assuredly;

For thou shalt give judgement unto

2 I am in muddy deep sunk downe,
where I no standing have:
Into deep waters I am come,
where floods mee overflow.
3 I of my crying weary am,
my throat is dryed so;
Mine eyes faile: Iwayt for my God.
4 They that have hated mee
without a cause, then mine heads haires
they more in number bee:
Also mine enemies wrongfully
they are that would me slay,
mighty they are; then I restor'd
what I took not away.
5 O God thou knowst my foolishnes;
my sin's not hid from thee.
6 Who wayt on thee, Lord God of hoasts,

O never suffer them, who doe

9 For of thy house the zeale me hath

10 In fasts, I wept & spent my soule,
this was reproach to mee.
11 And I my garment sackcloth made:
yet must their proverb bee.

Psalme 73
A psalme of Asaph.
TRuly to Israell God is good;
to men of a cleane heart.
2 But my feet almost slipt, my step•
aside did well nigh start.
3 For I was envious at the fooles,
in peace to see the ill.
4 For in their death no bands there are,
but firme their strength is still.
5 Like other meane men they are not
in toylesome misery,
nor are they stricken with like plagues
as other mortals bee.
6 Therefore doth pride like to a chaine
encompasse them about,
and like a garment; violence
doth cover them throughout.
7 Within the fatnes which they have
extended are their eyes:
greater prosperity they have
then their hearts can devise.
8 Corrupt they are, & wickedly
speak guile proudly they talk.
9 Against the heav'ns they set their mouth;
their tongue through th'earth doth walk.
10 There-
PSALME
LXXIII.
(2)
10 Therefore his people unto them
have hither turned in,
and waters out of a full cup
wrung out to them have been.
11 And they have sayd, how can it be
that God this thing should know,
& is there in the highest one
knowledge hereof also?
12 Loe, these are the ungodly ones
who have tranquillity:
within the world they doe increase
in rich ability.
13 Surely in vaine in purity
cleansed my heart have I.
14 And hands in innocence have washt,
for plagu'd am I dayly:
And every morning chastened.
15 If I think thus to say,
thy childrens generation
loe then I should betray;
16 And when this poynt to understand
casting I did devise,
the matter too laborious
appeared in mine eyes.
17 Vntill unto the sanctuary
of God I went, & then
I prudently did understand
the last end of these men.
(3)
18 Surely
in places slippery
these
PSALME LXXIII.
these men thou placed hast:
and into desolations
thou dost them downward cast.
19 As in a moment, how are they
brought to destruction?
how are they utterly consum'd
with sad confusion?
20 Like to a dreame when as a man
awaking doth arise,
so thou o God, when thou awakst
their Image shalt despise.
21 My heart thus was leaven'd with grief,
prickt were my reins by mee:
22 So foolish was I, & knew not,
like a beast before thee.
(4)
23 Neverthelesse continually
before thee I doe stand:
thou hast upheld mee stedfastly
also by my right hand.
24 Thou with thy prudent counsell shalt
guidance unto mee give:
up afterward also thou shalt
to glory mee receive.
25 In heavn above but thee alone
who is it that I have?
and there is nothing upon earth
besides thee that I crave.
26 This flesh of mine, my heart also
doth faile me altogether:
but
God the strength is of my heart,
and
PSALME LXXIII, LXXIV.
and portion mine for ever.
27 For loe, they that are far from thee
utterly perish shall:
those who a whoring goe from thee
thou hast destroyed all.
28 But as for mee, for mee it's good
neere God for to repaire:
in God the Lord I put my trust,
all thy works to declare
Psalme 74
Maschil of Asaph.
O GOD, why hast thou cast us off,
why doth thy rage indure?
for ever smoaking out against

2 Thy congregation call to minde
of old by thee purchast:
the rod of thine inheritance
which thou redeemed hast,
This mount Sion wherin thou dwelst.
3 Lift up thy foot on hye,
unto the desolations
of perpetuity:
Thy foe within the Sanctuary
hath done all lewd designes.
4 Amidst thy Church thy foes doe roare:
their Banners set for signes.
5 The man that axes on thick trees
did lift up had renowne:
6 But now with axe & maules at once,
her carv'd works they beat downe.
7 Thy

7 Thy sanctuaryes into fire

of thy name downe unto the ground
prophanely they did raze.
8 Let us together them destroy,

Gods Synagogues throughout the land
all in the flames they layd.
(2)
9 Our signes we see not, there's no more
a Prophet us among:
nor with us any to be found
that understands how long.
10 How long shall the oppressing foe
o mighty God, defame?
thine enemy for evermore
shall he blaspheme thy n•me?
11 Why dost thou thus withdraw •hine hand,
the right hand of thy strength?
out of thy bosom o doe thou
draw it forth to the length.
12 Because the mighty God hath been
from ancient time my King,
in middest of the earth he is
salvation working.
13 Thou diddest by thy mighty powre
devide the sea asunder:
the Dragons heads in peeces thou
didst break the waters under.
14 The heads of the Leviathan
thou into peeces brake:
to
PSALME LXXIV.
to people that in desarts dwell
for meat thou didst him make.
15 Thou clav'st the fountain & the floud,
thou dri'dst up flouds of might.
16 Thine is the day, & night is thine:
thou Sun prepar'st, & light.
17 Thou all the borders of the earth
hast constituted fast:
the summer & the winter cold
the same thou formed hast.
(3)
18 Remember this, the enemy
reproachfully doth blame,
o Lord, also the foolish folk
blasphemed have thy name.
19 O doe not to the multitude
thy turtles soule deliver:
the congregation of thy poore
forget not thou for ever.
20 Vnto thy cov'nant have respect:
because the dark places
of th'earth with habitations
are full of furiousnes.
21 O let not the oppressed one
returne away with shame:
o let the poor & needy one
give prayse unto thy name.
22 Arise o God, plead thine owne cause:
have thou in memorie
how day by day the foolish man

23 Thine
PSALME LXXIV, LXXV.
23 Thine enemyes voyce forget not thou:
the loud tumult of those
continually on high ascends
that rise thee to oppose.
Psalme 75
To the chief musician Altaschith, psalme
or song of Asaph.
O GOD, to thee doe we give thanks,
thanks give we unto thee:
& that thy name is neere at hand;
thy wonders shew to bee.
2 When I th'assembly shall receive
uprightly judge I will.
2 Th'earth & its dwellers all do melt:
I stay its pillars still,
4 I did unto the foolish say,
deale not so foolishly:
also unto the wicked ones,
lift not the horne on hye.
5 Lift yee not up your horne on high:
with stiffned neck speak not,
6 For neither from East, West, nor South,
promotion can be got.
7 But God is judge: he sets up one,
another downe doth tread.
8 For in the Lords hand is a cup,
also the wine is red:
It's full of mixture, & thereout
he poures: but on earth all
the wicked ones the dregs therof
both strein, & drink them shall.
9 But
as for me I will declare,
for
PSALME LXXV, LXXVI.
for evermore I will
sing prayses unto him that is
the God of Jacob still.
10 Of men ungodly all the hornes
also cut off will I:
but the hornes of the righteous,
shall be exalted high.
Psalme 76
To the chief musician, on Neginoth, a psalm
or song of Asaph.
IN Iudah God is knowne: his name
is great in Israell.
2 In Salem also is his tent:
in Sion he doth dwell,
3 There brake he th'arrows of the bow,
the shield, sword, & battell. Selah.
4 Illustrious thou art, thou dost
the mounts of prey excell.
5 They that are stout of heart are spoyld,
they slept their sleep profound:
and of the men of might there is
none that their hands have found.
6 Of Iacob o thou mighty God,
as thy rebuke our past,
the chariot also, & the horse
in a dead sleepe are cast.
(2)
7 Thou ev'n thou art to be feared,
and who is it before
thy presence that can stand, when as
that thou art angry sore?
8 Thou

PSALME LXXVI, LXXVII.
judgement from heav'n above:
the earth exceedingly did feare,
also it did not move.
9 When as the mighty God arose,
to th'execution
of judgement, to save all the meek
that are the earth upon. Selah.
10 Assuredly unto thy prayse,
shall turne the wrath of man:
& the remainder of the earth
also thou shalt restraine.
11 Vow, & pay to the Lord your God;
that him surround all yee,
and bring ye presents unto him,
that feared ought to bee.
12 The spirit that in Princes is,
asunder cut he shall:
unto the Kings on earth that be,
dreadfull he is withall.
Psalme 77
To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, a
psalme of Asaph.
TO GOD I cryed with my voyce:
yea with my voyce I have
cryed unto the mighty God;
and eare to mee he gave.
2 In my distresse I sought the Lord:
my sore ran in the night,
& ceased not: also my soule
refused comfort quite.
3 I
did remember God, also
disqui-
PSALME LXXVII.
disquieted was I:
I did complaine, & my spirit
o'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 doe 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?
& pleasd will he not bee?
8 His tender mercy is it ceast
to perpetuitee?
His promise doth it, faile for aye?
9 Hath God forgot likewise
gracious to be? hath he shut up
in wrath his deare mercyes? Selah.
10 Then did I say, within my selfe,
tis mine infirmity:
the yeares of the right hand I will
think on of the most high.
(3)
11 I will unto remembrance call
the actions of the Lord:
thy wondrous works of ancient time
surely I will record.
12 I'le muse also of all thy works,
& of thy doings talk.
13 with-
PSALME LXXVII.
13 Within the temple is thy way,
o God, where thou dost walk.
What god so great as our God is?
14 Works wonderfull that are
thou God hast done; among the folk
thou dost thy strength declare.
15 Those that thy people are thou hast
with thine owne arme set free,
of Jacob also of Joseph
the childeren that bee. Selah.
(4)
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 arrows on each side
abroad dispersed went.
18 Thy thunders voyce in heaven was:
the world illuminate
thy lightnings did, the earth also
trembled & shook hereat.
19 Thy wayes ith sea, thy paths & steps
unkowne, are in the deep.
20 By Moses & by Arons hand
thou
ledst thy folk like sheep.
Psalme 78
Maschil of Asaph.
GIve listning eare unto my law,
yee people that are mine,
unto
PSALME LXXVII.
unto the sayings of my mouth
doe yee your eare incline.
2 My mouth I'le ope in parables,
I'le speak hid things of old:
3 Which we have heard & knowne: & which
our fathers have us told.
4 Them from their children wee'l not hide,
to th'after age showing
the Lords prayses: his strength, & works
of his wondrous doing.
5 In Jacob he a witnesse set,
& put in Israell
a law, which he our fathers charg'd,
they should their children tell:
6 That th'age to come & children which
are to be borne might know;
that they might rise up & the same
unto their children show.
7 That they upon the mighty God
their confidence might set:
and Gods works & his commandment
might keep & not forget,
8 And might not like their fathers be,
a stiffe, stout race; a race
that set not right their hearts: nor firme
with God their spirit was.
(2)
9 The armed sonnes of Ephraim,
that went out with their bowe,
did turne their backs in the day when
they did to battell goe.
10 Gods
PSALME LXXVIII.
10 Gods cov'nant they kept not: to walk
in his law they denyde.
11 His works, & wonders, they forgot,
that he to them descryde.
12 Things that were mervielous he did
within their fathers sight:
in Egipts land, within the field
of Zoan, by his might.
13 He did devide the sea, also
he caus'd them through to passe:
& he the waters made to stand
that as an heap it was.
14 With cloud by day, with fire all night
15 he led them; Rocks he clave
in wildernes, as from great deep•
drink unto them he gave.
16 Ev'n from out of the stony rock
streames he did bring also,
& caused water to run downe
like as the rivers do.
(3)
17 Moreover they did adde yet more
against him for to sin:
by their provoaking the most high
the wildernes within.
18 And also they within their heart
did tempt the God of might:
by asking earnestly for meat
for their soules appetite:
19 Moreover they against God spake:
they sayd can God be able
within
PSALME LXXVIII.
within the desart wildernes
to furnish us a table.
20 Loe, he the rock smote, thence gusht out
waters, & streames did flow:
for his folk can he flesh provide,
can he give bread also?
21 The Lord heard, he was wroth for this,
so kindled was a fire
'gainst Iacob: & 'gainst Israell
there came up wrathfull ire.
22 For they in God believed not:
nor in his health did hope:
23 Though from above he charg'd the clouds:
& doores of heav'n set ope:
(4)
24 Manna to eate he raind on them;
& gave them the heavns wheat.
25 Each man of them ate Angells food:
to th'full he sent them meate.
26 Ith heav'ns he made the East-winde blow:
brought South-winde by his powre.
27 He flesh on them like dust: wing'd foules
like the seas sand did showre.
28 And in the middest of their camp
he caused it to fall,
ev'n round about on every side
their dwelling places all.
29 So they did eate, they filled were
abundantly also:
for that which was their owne desire
he did on them bestow:
30 How-
PSALME LXXVIII.
30 Howbeit they were not estrang'd
from their lustfull desire:
but while their meat was in their mouths,
31 Vpon them came Gods ire,
And slew their fat ones: & smote downe
of Israell the choise men.
32 Still for all this they sin'd: nor did
believe his wonders then.
(5)
33 Therefore he did in vanity
the dayes of their life spend,
and hastily he brought their yeares
vnto a fearfull end.
34 When he them slew, then after him
they sought with their desire:
and they return'd, early also
did after God enquire.
35 Likewise that God was their strong rock
they cal'd to memoree:
and that the mighty God most high,
was their Redeemer free.
36 Yet with their mouth they flattred him:
and to him their tongues lyde.
37 For right their heart was not in them:
nor did in's cov'nant byde.
38 But full of mercy, he forgave
their sin, & stroyd them not;
yea, oft he turn'd his wrath aside,
nor rays'd all's anger hot.
39 For he, that they were but fraile flesh,
and as it were a winde
that
PSALME LXXVIII.
that passeth, & comes not againe,
recalled unto minde·
40 How oft in desart vext they him:
and made him there to moane?
41 Yea, they turn'd, tempted God: & did
stint Isr'ells holy one.
42 His hand they did not, nor the day
keep in their remembrance:
wherein he from the enemy
gave them deliverance:
43 And how his signes miraculous
in Egipt he had showne:
and his most fearfull prodigies
within the field of Zoan:
44 Also how he their rivers had
converted into bloud:
& (that they could not drink therof)
the waters of their floud.
45 Amongst them, which did them devoure,
he sent forth divers flies:
& them amongst, which them destroyd,
he sent forth frogs likewise.
46 He gave their fruit to th'Caterpillar:
their labour to th'Locust.
47 He did their Vines destroy with hailes:
their Sycamores with frost.
48 Also unto the haile he did
their cattell shut up fast:
likewise their heards of cattell to
the fiery thunder blast,
49 He
PSALME LXXVIII.
49 He cast on them fierce ire, & wrath,
& indignation,
& sore distresse: by sending forth
ill Angells them upon.
(7)
50 He made a way unto his wrath,
and their soule did not save
from death: also their life over
to Pestilence he gave,
51 He within Egipt land also
all the first borne did smite:
those that within the tents of Ham
were chiefest of their might.
52 But he made like a flock of sheep
his owne folk forth to go:
like to a flock ith wildernes
he guided them also.
53 And he in safety did them lead
so that they did not dread:
within the sea their enemies
he also covered.
54 And to the border he did bring
them of his holy place:
unto this mountaine which he did
by his right hand purchase.
55 Fore them he cast the heathen out,
their lot he did devide
by line: & Isr'ells tribes he made
in their tents to abide.
(8)
56 Yet
they tempted the most high God,
and
PSALME LXXVIII.
& griev'd him bitterly:
also his testimonyes they
kept not attentively:
57 But like their fathers back they turn'd
and faithlesnesse did show:
they turned were aside ev'n like
to a deceitfull bowe.
58 For they to anger did provoake
him with their places hye:
& with their graven Images,
mov'd him to jealousy.
59 God hearing this, was wroth, & loath'd
Isr'ell with hatred great:
60 So Shiloh s tent he left: the tent
which men amongst he set,
61 And he delivered his strength
into captivity:
also into the enemies hand
his beautifull glory.
62 To th'sword he gave his folk: & was
wroth with his heritage.
63 Fire their young men devour'd: their maides
none gave to marriage.
64 Their Priests fell by the sword: also
their widdows did not weepe.
65 Then did the Lord arise as one
awakned out of sleepe:
Like a strong man that after wine
66 doth shout. He also smote
his foes behinde: & so he gave
them an eternall blot.
67 Then
PSALM LXXVIII, LXXIX.
(9)
Then he did Josephs tent refuse:
nor Ephr'ims tribe approv'd.
68 But he the tribe of Judah chose:
mount Sion which he lov'd.
69 And he his Sanctuary built
like unto places high:
like to the earth which he did found
to perpetuity.
70 Of David also his servant
election he did make,
and from the place of folding up
the sheep he did him take.
71 From following the ewes with young
he did him then advance;
to feed Jacob his folk, also
Isr'ell his heritance.
72 So he according to his hearts
integrity them fed:
and by the wise disrcetion
of his hands he them led.
Psalme 79
A psalme of Asaph.
O GOD, the heathen entred have
thine heritance, & defylde
thine holy temple: they on heaps
Jerusalem have pylde.
2 The dead bodyes of thy servants
they given have for meate
to th' fowles of heav'n: flesh of thy Saints
for beasts of earth to eat,
3 Their
PSALME LXXIX.
3 Their bloud they have forth powred round
about Jerusalem
like unto waters: & there was
none for to bury them.
4 To those that neere unto us dwell
reproach become are wee:
a scoffing & a scorne to them
that round about us bee.
5 How long, Jehovah, wilt thou still
continue in thine ire,
for ever? shall thy jealousie
burne like as doth the fire?
6 Vpon the heathen poure thy wrath
which never did thee know,
upon the kingdomes that have not
cal'd on thy name also.
7 Because they Iacob have devour'd:
his habitation
they also wondrously have brought
to desolation.
(2)
8 Minde not against us former sins,
let thy mercies make hast
us to prevent: because we are
neere utterly layd waste.
9 God of our safety, help thou us
for thy names glory make,
us free also, & purge away
our sin for thy names sake.
10 Why say the heathen where's their God?
with heathen let be knowne
before,
PSALME LXXIX, LXXX.
before our eyes, the vengeance of
thy servants bloud out flowne.
11 Before thee let the prisoners sighs
come up, accordingly
as is thy mighty arme: save those
that are design'd to dye,
12 And to our neighbours seven fold,
into their bosome pay,
that their reproach, with which o Lord,
reproached thee have they.
13 So we thy folk & pasture sheepe,
will give thee thanks always:
and unto generations all.
wee will shew forth thy prayse.
Psalme 80
To the chief musician upon Shoshammim
Eduth, a psalme of Asaph.
O Isr'ells shepheard, give thou eare;
that Ioseph leadst about
like as a flock: that dwelst betweene
the Cherubims, shine out.
2 Before Ephraim & Benjamin,
Manasseh s tribe also,
doe thou stir up thy strength, & come,
and to us safety show.
3 O God returne thou us againe,
and cause thy countenance
to shine forth upon us; so wee
shall have deliverance.
4 Lord God of hoasts, how long wilt thou
be wroth at thy folks prayrs?
thou
PSALME LXXX.
5 Thou feedst with bread of tears, & them
to drink giv'st many teares.
6 A strife unto our neighbours us
thou dost also expose:
and scornefully amongst themselves
laugh at us doe our foes.
7 O God of hoasts, turne us againe,
& cause thy countenance
to shine forth upon us, so wee
shall have deliverance.
(2)
8 Thou hast brought out of Egipt land
a Vine, thou diddest cast
the heathen people forth, also
this vine thou planted hast.
9 Before it thou prepared hast
a roome where it might stand:
deep
root thou didst cause it to take
and it did fill the land.
10 Her shade hid hills, & her boughs did
like Cedars great extend.
11 Her boughs to th'sea, & her branches
she to the floud did send.
12 Why hast thou then her hedge made
quite broken downe to lye,
so that all those doe pluck at her
that in the way passe by?
13 The Boare from out the wood he doth
by wasting it annoy:
& wilde beasts of the field doe it
devouringly destroy.
14 Wee
PSALM LXXX, LXXXI.
(3)
14 Wee doe beseech thee to returne
o God of hoasts, incline
to look from heaven, & behould,
& visit thou this vine.
15 The vineyard which thou hast also
with thy right hand set fast,
that branch likewise which for thy selfe
strongly confirm'd thou hast.
16 It is consumed with the fire
and utterly cut downe,
perish they doe, & that because
thy countenance doth frowne.
17 Vpon the man of thy right hand
let thine hand present bee:
upon the son of man whom thou
hast made so strong for thee
18 So then from henceforth wee will not
from thee goe back at all:
o doe thou quicken us, & wee
upon thy name will call.
19 Lord God of hoasts, turne us againe,
and cause thy countenance
to shine forth upon us, so wee
shall have deliverance.

2 Take up a psalme of melodie,
and bring the Timbrel hither:
the Harp which soundes so pleasantly
with Psaltery together.
3 As in the time of the new moone
with Trumpet sound on high:
in the appoynted time & day
of our solemnity.
4 Because that unto Israell
this thing a statute was;
and by the God of Iacob this
did for a judgement pass.
5 This witnesse he in Ioseph set
when as through Egipt land
he went: I there a language heard
I did not understand.
6 I from the burden which he bare
his shoulder did set free:
his hands also were from the pots
delivered by mee.
(2)
7 Thou cal'dst in streights, & I thee freed:
in thunders secret way
I answred thee, I prov'd thee at
waters of Meribah. Selah.
8 Heare o my people, & I will
testifie unto thee:
o Israell, if that thou wilt
attention give to mee.
9 Any
strange god there shall not be
in
PSALM LXXXI
in midst of thee at all:
nor unto any forrein god
thou bowing downe shalt fall.
10 I am the Lord thy God who thee
from land of Egipt led:
thy mouth ope wide, & thou by me•
with plenty shalt be fed.
11 My people yet would not give eare
unto the voyce I spake:
and Israell would not in mee,
quiet contentment take.
12 So in the hardnes of their heart,
I did them send away,
in their owne consultations
likewise then walked they.
(3)
13 O that my people unto mee
obedient had bin:
and o that Israell he had
walked my wayes within.
14 I should within a little time
have pulled downe their foes:
I should have turn'd my hand upon
such as did them oppose.
15 The haters of the Lord to him
obedience should have faynd:
but unto perpetuity
their time should have remaind.
16 And with the finest of the wheat
have nourisht them should hee:
with
honie of the rock I should

Psalme 82
A psalme of Asaph.
THe mighty God doth stand within
th'assemblie of the strong:
and he it is that righteously
doth judge the gods among.
2 How long a time is it that yee
will judge unrighteouslie?
& will accept the countenance
of those that wicked bee?
3 See that yee doe defend the poore,
also the fatherlesse:
unto the needy justice doe,
and that are in distresse.
4 The wasted poore, & those that are
needy deliver yee;
and them redeeme out of the hand
of such as wicked bee.
5 They know not, nor will understand,
in darknes they walk on:
all the foundations of the earth
quite out of course are gone.
6 I sayd that yee are gods, & sonnes
of th'highest yee are all.
7 But yee shall dye like men, & like
one of the princes fall.

doe thou thy selfe advance;
for thou shalt have the nations
for thine inheritance.

Psalme 83
A psalme or song of Asaph,
O GOD, doe not thou silence keep:

thy selfe from speaking, & o God.
doe not thou dumb remaine.
2 For loe, thine enemies that be
doe rage tumultuously:
& they that haters be of thee
have lift the head on hye.
3 Against those that thy people be
they crafty counsell take;
also against thy hidden ones
they consultation make.
4 They sayd, lest they a nation be,
let's cut them downe therefore,
that in remembrance Isr'elss name
may not be any more.
5 For they together taken have
counsell with one consent,
and in confederation
against thee they are bent.

14 As fire doth burne a wood, & as

15 So with thy tempest them pursue,
& fright them in thine ire.
16 Doe thou their faces all fill full
of ignominious shame:
that so they may o Lord, be made
to seek after thy name.
17 Confounded let them ever be,

5 Blest is the man whose strength's in thee,
in whose heart are their wayes.

then in the tents of wickednes
to settle mine aboad.
11 Because the Lord God is a Sun,
he is a shield also:
Jehovah on his people grace

No good thing will he hould from them
that doe walk uprightlee.

for to his people peace
hee'l speak; & to his Saints: lest they
returne to foolishnes.
9 Surely naere them that doe him fear•
is his salvation:
that glory may within our land
have habitation.
10 Mercy & truth doe joyntly meet:
justice & peace doe kisse.
11 Truth springs from earth, & rightousnes
from heaven looking is.

Psalme 86
A prayer of David.
BOw downe o Lord, thine eare,
& harken unto mee:
because that I afflicted am,
also I am needie.
2 Doe thou preserve my soule,
for gracious am I:
o thou my God, thy servant save,
that doth on thee rely.
3 Lord pitty me, for I
cry daily thee unto.
4 Rejoyce thy servants soule: for Lord,
to thee mine lift I do.
5 For thou o Lord, art good,
to pardon prone withall:
and to them all in mercy rich
that doe upon thee call.
6 Jehovah, o doe thou
give eare my pray'r unto:
& of my supplications
attend the voyce also.
7 In day of my distresse,
to thee I will complaine:
by reason that thou unto mee
wilt answer give againe.
(2)
8 Amongst
the gods, o Lord,
none
PSALME LXXXVI.
none is there like to thee:
neither with thine are any works
that may compared bee.
9 All nations o Lord,
whom thou hast made, the same
shall come & worship thee before:
and glorify thy Name.
10 Because thou mighty art,
the things that thou hast done
are wonderfull, thou art thy selfe
the mighty God alone.
11 Jehovah, unto mee
o make thy way appeare,
walk in thy truth I will; mine heart
unite thy name to feare.
12 Withall mine heart I will
o Lord my God, thee prayse:
& I will glorify thy name,
for evermore alwayes.
13 Because that unto mee
thy mercy doth excell;
also thou hast delivered
my soule from lowest hell.
(3)
14 O God, the proud, & troups
of violent rose 'gainst mee,
after my soule they sought: nor have
before them placed thee.
15 But Lord thou art a God,
tender, & gracious;
longsuffring,
& in mercy thou
and
PSALM
LXXXVI, LXXXVII.
& truth art plenteous.
16 O turne thou unto mee,
and mercy on mee have:
unto thy servant give thy strength:
thine handmaides son do save.
17 Mee shew a signe for good,
that mine haters may see,
and be asham'd; because Lord, thou
dost help, & comfort mee.
Psalme 87

3 Things glorious spoken are

4 I'le mention Rahab, & Babel,
to them that doe know mee;
Behold Philistia,
Tyrus citty likewise,
with Ethiopia; that this man
by birth did thence arise.
5 Also it shall be sayd,
of Sion that borne there

Psalme 88
A song or psalme for the sons of Korah, to

Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.
LORD God of my salvation,
before thee day & night cryde I.
2 Before thee o let my pray'r come:
incline thine eare unto my cry.
3 Because my soule is troubled so:
and my life draws nigh to the grave.
4 Counted with them to'th pit that go:
I'me as a man that no strength have.
5 Free among those men that be dead,
like slaine which in the grave are shut;
by thee noe more remembered:
and by thy hand off are they cut.
6 Thou hast mee layd i'th pit most low
in dakrnesses, within deep caves.
7 Hard on mee lyes thy wrath, & thou
dost mee afflict with all thy waves. Selah·
8 Men that of mine acquaintance bee
thou hast put far away mee fro:
unto them loathsome thou madst mee,
I am shut up nor forth can go.
9 Because
of mine affliction,
mine
PSALM LXXXVIII.
mine eye with mourning pines away:
Jehovah, I call thee upon:
& stretch my hands to thee all day;
(2)
10 Shew wonders to the dead wilt thou?
shall dead arise & thee confess? Selah.
11 I'th grave wilt thou thy kindenes show?
in lost estate thy faithfullnes?
12 Thy works that wonderfull have been
within the dark shall they be knowne?
& shall thy righteousnes be seene
in the land of oblivion?
13 But Lord I have cryde thee unto
at morne, my pray'r prevent shall thee.
14 Lord why casts thou my soule thee fro?
why hidest thou thy face from mee?
15 I'me poore afflicted, & to dye
am ready, from my youthfull yeares,
I am sore troubled doubtfully
while I doe beare thy horrid feares.
16 Thy fierce wrath over mee doth goe,
thy terrors they doe mee dismay.
17 Encompasse mee about they doe,
close mee together all the day.
18 Lover & friend a far thou hast
removed off away from mee,
& mine acquaintance thou hast cast
into
darksom obscuritee.

PSALME LXXXIX.
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 sayd that mercy shall
for ever be up built;
establish in the very heav'ns
thy faithfullnes thou wilt.
3 With him that is my chosen one
I made a covenant:
& by an oath have sworne unto
David mine owne servant.
4 To perpetuity thy seed
establish-sure I will:
also to generations all
thy throne I'le build up still. Selah.
5 Also the heavens thy wonders Lord,
they shall with prayse confess;
in the assemblie of the Saints,
also thy faithfullnes.
6 For who can be compar'd unto
the Lord the heav'ns within?
'mong sonnes of mighty to the Lord
who is't that's like to him.
(2)
7 I'th Saints assemblie greatly God
is to be had in feare:
and to be reverenc't of all those
that round about him are.
8 Lord God of hoasts, what Lord like thee
in power doth abide?
thy
PSALM LXXXIX.
thy faithfullnes doth compasse thee
also on every side.
9 Over the raging of the sea,
thou dost dominion beare:
when as the waves therof arise,
by thee they stilled are.
10 Like to one slaine, thou broken hast
in pieces Rahab quite:
thou hast disperst thine enemies
ev'n by thine arme of might.
11 The heav'ns together with the earth,
thine are they: thine they bee;
the world, with fullnes of the same,
founded they were by thee.
12 The North together with the South
thou didst create the same:
Tabor together with Hermon,
rejoyce shall in thy Name.
(3)
13 Thou hast a very mighty arme,
thy hand it is mighty,
and also thy right hand it is
exalted up on high.
14 Justice & judgement of thy throne
are the prepared place:
mercy & truth preventing shall
goe forth before thy face.
15 O blessed are the people that
the joyfull sound doe know,
Lord, in thy countenances light
they up & downe shall goe:
16 They
PSALME LXXXIX.
16 They shall in thy name all the day
rejoyce exceedingly:
and in thy righteousnes they shall
be lifted up on high.
17 Because that thou art unto them
the glory of their powre:
our horne shall be exalted high,
also in thy favour.
18 Because Iehovah is to us
a safe protection;
and he that is our Soveraigne,
is Isr'ells Holy-one.
(4)
19 Then didst thou speake in vision,
unto thy Saint, & sayd,
I upon one that mighty is
salvation have layd:
One from the folk chose, I set up.
20 David my servant I
have found: him I annoynted with
mine oyle of sanctity.
21 With whom my hand shall stablisht be,
mine arme him strengthen shall.
22 Also the enemy shall not
exact on him at all:
Nor shall the Son of wickednes
afflict him any more.
23 Before him I'le beat downe his foes,
and plague his haters sore.
24 My mercy, truth, shall be with him;
& in my name shall be
his
PSALM LXXXIX.
25 his horne exalted. And I'le set
his hand upon the sea:
I'th rivers also his right hand.
26 He shall cry mee unto,
thou art my Father: & my God,
Rock of my health also.
27 Also I will make him to be
my first begotten one:
higher then those that Princes are,
who dwell the earth upon.
28 My mercy I will keep for him
to times which ever last:
also my covenant with him
it shalt stand very fast.
(5)
29 And I will make his seed indure
to perpetuitee:
his throne likewise it like unto
the dayes of heav'n shall bee.
30 If that his sons forsake my law,
& from my judgements swerve:
31 If they my stattutes break, & my
commandes doe not observe:
32 Then will I visit with the rod
their bold transgression,
as also their iniquity
with sore stripes them upon.
33 But yet my loving kindenes, it
I'le not take utterly
away from him: nor will suffer
my faithfullnes to lye.
34 The
PSALME LXXXIX.
34 The covenant I made with him
by mee shall not be broke:
neither will I alter the thing
which by my lips is spoke.
35 Once sware I by my holines,
if I to David lye:
36 His seed afutedly shall last
to perpetuity:
And like the Sun 'fore mee his throne.
37 It like the moone for aye
shall be establish't, like a true
witnesse in heav'n: Selah.
(6)
38 But thou hast cast off, & us had
in detestation:
exceedingly thou hast been wroth
with thine annoynted one.
39 Thou hast made voyd the covenant
of thy servant, his crowne
thou hast prophan'd unto the ground
by casting of it downe.
40 Thou hast broke all his hedges downe:
his forts thou ruin'd hast.
41 All those doe make a spoyle of him
who by the way have past:
Hee's a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Of them that him annoy
thou hast advanced their right hand:
& made all's foes to joy,
43 The sharp edge also of his sword
thou hast turn'd backward quite:
and
PSALM LXXXIX
and in the battell thou hast not
made him to stand upright.
44 Thou hast made also for to cease
his glorious renowne:
unto the very earth his throne
thou also hast cast downe.
45 And of his youthfull yeares the dayes
thou hast diminished;
with very great confusion
thou hast him covered. Selah.
(7)
46 How long? Jehovah, wilt thou hide
thy selfe for evermore?
burne like unto consuming fire
shall thy displeasure sore?
47 To thy remembrance doe thou call
how short a time have I;
wherefore hast thou created all
mens sonnes to vanity?
48 What strong man is there that doth live,
& death shall never see?
from the strong power of the grave
shall he his soule set free?
49 Thy former loving kindenesses
o Lord, where are they now?
which in thy truth & faithfullnes
to David thou didst vow.
50 Lord, the reproach of thy servants
unto remembrance call:
how I it beare in my bosome
from
mighty people all.
51 Wher-
PSALME LXXXIX, XC.
51 Wherewith thy adversaryes Lord,
have cast reproach upon,
wherewith they have reproacht the steps
of thine annointed one.
52 O let Iehovah be blessed
to all eternitee:
Amen, so let it be, also
Amen, so it shall bee.
THE
FOVRTH BOOKE
Psalme 90.
A prayer of Moses the man of God.
O LORD, thou hast been unto us
from generation,
to generation, a place
of fixed mansion.
2 Before the mountaines were brought forth,
ere earth & world by thee
were form'd: thou art eternally
God to eternitee.
3 Thou dost unto destruction
turne miserable men:
and then thou sayst yee sonnes of men
doe yee returne agen.
4 For why o Lord, a thousand yeares
are but within thy sight
as
yesterday when it is past:
and
PSALM XC
and as a watch by night.
5 By thee like as it were a flood
they quite away are borne,
they like a sleep, & as the grasse
that grows up in the morne.
6 It in the morning flourisheth,
it also up doth grow;
it in the ev'ning is cut downe
it withereth also.
7 Because wee by thine anger are
consumed speedily:
and by thy sore displeasure wee
are troubled suddenly.
8 Thou hast set our iniqioryes
before thee in thy fight:
our secret evills are within
thy countenances light.
9 Because in thine exceeding wrath
our dayes all passe away:
our years wee have consumed quite,
ev'n as a tale are they.
(2)
10 Threescore & ten yeares are the dayes
of our yeares which remaine,
& if through strength they fourscore be,
their strength is grief & paine:
For it's cut off soone, & wee flye
11 away: Who is't doth know
thine angers strength? according as
thy feare, thy wrath is so.
12 Teach
us to count our dayes: our hearts
so
PSALME XC, XCI.
so wee'l on wisdome set.
13 Turne Lord, how long? of thy servants
let it repent thee yet?
14 O give us satisfaction
betimes with thy mercee:
that so rejoyce, & be right glad,
through all our dayes may wee.
15 According to the dayes wherin
affliction wee have had,
and yeares wherin wee have seen ill,
now also make us glad.
16 Vnto those that thy servants be
doe thou thy work declare:
also thy comely glory to
those that thy children are.
17 Let our Gods beauty be on us,
our handy works also
stablish on us; our handy work
establish it doe thou.
Psalme 91.
HE that within the secret place
of the most high doth dwell,
he under the Almightyes shade
shall lodge himselfe full well.
2 My hope he is, & my fortresse,
I to the Lord will say:
he is my God; & I in him
my confidence will stay.
3 Surely out of the fowlers snare
he shall deliver thee,
also
thee from the Pestilence
infect-
PSALM XCI.
infectious shall free.
4 He with his feathers hide thee shall,
under his wings shall bee
thy trust: his truth shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5 Thou shalt not be dismaide with feare
for terrour by the night:
nor for the arrow that with speed
flyeth in the day light:
6 Nor for the Pestilence that doth
walk in the darknes fast:
nor for the sore destruction
that doth at noone day wast.
(2)
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,
& ten thousand also
at thy right hand, but it shall not
approach thee neere unto:
8 Only thou with thine eyes this thing
attentively shalt view:
also thou shalt behold how that
the wicked have their due.
9 Because Jehovah who hath been
my safe protection,
ev'n the most high, thou hast him made
thine habitation.
10 Not any thing that evill is
there shall to thee befall,
neither shall any plague come nigh
thy dwelling place at all.
11 Because
that he his Angells will
command
PSALME XCI, XCII.
command concerning thee:
in all thy wayes where thou dost walk
thy keeper for to bee.
12 They shall support thee in their hands:
lest thou against a stone
13 shouldst dash thy foot. Thou trample shalt
on th'Adder, & Lion:
The Lion young & Dragon thou
shalt tread under thy feet.
14 I will deliver him, for hee
on mee his love hath set:
Because that he hath knowne my Name,
I will him set on high.
15 Vpon mee he shall call in pray'r,
and answer him will I:
I will be with him when he is
in troublesome distresse,
& I to him will honour give,
when I shall him release.
16 With dayes of long continuance
I'le give to him his fill:
& also my salvation
declare to him I will.
Psalme 92.
A psalme or song for the
Sabbath day.
IT is a good thing to give thanks
Jehovah thee unto:
unto thy Name prayses to sing,
o thou most high also.
2 Thy
loving kindenes to shew forth
with-
PSALM XCII.
within the morning light:
also thy truth, & faithfullnes,
to shew forth every night.
3 Vpon a ten string'd instrument,
and Psaltery upon:
upon the solemne sounding Harp,
a meditation.
4 For through thy work, o Lord, thou hast
mee caused to rejoyce:
and in the workings of thy hands
I will triumph with voyce.
5 O Lord, how mighty are thy works:
thy thoughts are very deepe.
6 The bruitish knows not; nor the foole
this in his heart doth keepe.
7 When as the wicked doe spring-up
ev'n like the grasse unto,
& all that work iniquity
when as they flourish do:
It's that they then may be destroy'd
to perpetuity.
8 But thou Iehovah dost abide
for evermore most high.
9 For loe, thy foes, for loe, o Lord,
thy foes they perish shall:
the workers of iniquity
they shall be scattred all.
(2)
10 But like the Vnicornes my horne
thou shalt exalt on high:
& with
fresh oyle in mine old age
annoynted
PSALME XCII, XCIII.
annoynted be shall I.
11 Also mine eye shall see my wish
upon mine enemyes:
mine eare shall heare of wicked ones,
that up against me rise.
12 Like to the Palme tree flourish shall
he that is righteous:
like to a Ceadar he shall grow
that is in Lebanus.
13 They that within Jehovahs house
are planted stedfastly:
within the Courts of our God they
shall flourish pleasantly
14 Their fruit they shall in their old age
continue forth to bring:
they shall be fat, yea likewise they
shall still be flourishing:
15 To shew that upright is the Lord:
my refuge strong is hee,
also that there is not in him
any iniquitee.
Psalme 93.
THe Lord reigns, cloth'd with majesty:
God cloath'd with strength, doth gird
himselfe: the world so stablisht is,
that it cannot be stir'd.
2 Thy throne is stablished of old:
3 from aye thou art. Their voyce

4 The

5 Thy words most sure: Lord, holines
becomes thine house for aye.
Psalme 94
O LORD God, unto whom there doe
revenges appertaine:
o God, to whom vengeance belongs,
clearly shine forth againe.
2 Exalt thy selfe, o thou that art
Judge of the earth throughout:
render a recompence unto
all those that are so stout.
3 Jehovah, o how long shall they
that doe walk wickedly?
how long shall those that wicked are
rejoyce triumphingly?
4 How long shall those men utter forth
& speake things that hard bee?
& shall all such thus boast themselves
that work iniquitee?
5 Lord, they thy folk in pieces break:
& heritage oppress.
6 They slay the widdow' & stranger,
& kill the fatherless.
7 The Lord they say, yet shall not see:
nor Jacobs God it minde.
8 Learne vulgar Sons: also yee fooles
when will yee wisdome finde?
9 Who plants the eare, shall he not heare?
who formes the eye, not see?
10 Who
heathen smites, shall he not check?

mans teacher, knows not hee?
(2)
11 The Lord doth know the thoughts of man,
that they are very vaine.
12 Blest man whom thou correctst, o Lord;
& in thy law dost traine.
13 That thou mayst give him quiet from
dayes of adversity:
untill the pit be digged for
such as doe wickedly.
14 Because Jehovah he will not
his people cast away,
neither will hee forsake his owne
inheritance for aye.
15 But judgement unto righteousnes
it shall returne agen:
also all upright ones in heart
they shall pursue it then.
16 Against the evill doers, who
will up for mee arise?
who will stand up for mee 'gainst them
that work iniquityes?
17 Had not the Lord me helpt: my soule
had neere in silence dwel'd.
18 When as I sayd, my foot slips: Lord,
thy mercy mee upheld.
(3)
19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts
of mine within my minde,
still from thy consolations
my soule delight doth finde.

which frameth molestation
and that by a decree?
21 They joyntly gathered themselves,
together they withstood
the soule of him that righteous is:
& condemne guiltlesse blood.
22 But yet Iehovah unto mee
he is a refuge high:
also my God he is the rock
of my hopefull safety.
23 Their mischief on them he shall bring,
& in their wickedness
he shall them cut off: yea, the Lord
our God shall them suppress.
Psalme 95.
O Come, let us unto the Lord
shout loud with singing voyce.
to the rock of our saving health
let's make a joyfull noyse.
2 Before his presence let us then
approach with thanksgiving:
also let us triumphantly
with Psalmes unto him sing.
3 For the Lord a great God & great
King above all gods is.
4 In whose hands are deepes of the earth,
& strength of hills are his
5 The sea to him doth appertaine,
also he made the same:
and
PSALME XCV, XCVI.
& also the drye land is his
for it his hands did frame.
6 O come, & let us worship give,
& bowing downe adore:
he that our maker is, the Lord
o let us kneele before.
7 Because he is our God, & wee
his pasture people are,
& of his hands the sheep: to day

8 As in the provocation,

as in day of temptation,
within the vast desart.

in Sion great,
in highnes set
he is likewise
Above all the people.
3 Let them confesse thy Name
so great & terrible:
for holy is the same.
4 The King his might

thou dost stablish
things that be right:
Judgement thou dost, also
in Iacob righteousnes.

& didst answer

Thou wast a God pard'ning

upon their works didst bring.

A Psalme of prayse.
MAke yee a joyfull sounding noyse

& not our selves: his owne people
& sheepe of his pasture are wee.
4 Enter into his gates with prayse,

A psalme of David.
MErcy & judgement I will sing,
Lord, I will sing to thee.
2 I'le wisely doe in perfect way:
when wilt thou come to mee?
I will in midst of my house walk
in my hearts perfectnes:
3 I

I hate their worke that turne aside,

4 Froward in heart from mee shall part,
none evill will I know.
5 I'le cut him off, that slaundereth
his neighbour privily:
I cannot beare the proud in hearr,
nor him that looketh high.
6 Vpon the faithfull in the land
mine eyes shall be, that they
may dwell with mee: he shall mee serve
that walks in perfect way.
7 Hee that a worker is of guile,
shall not in my house dwell:
before mine eyes he shall not be
setled, that lies doth tell.
8 Yea, all the wicked of the land
early destroy will I:
to cutt off from Gods citty all
that work iniquity.
Psalme 102
A prayer of the afflicted when he is over-
whelmed, & poureth out his complaint
before the Lord.
LORD, heare my supplication,
& let my cry come thee unto:
2 I'th day when trouble is on mee
thy face hide not away mee fro:
Thine eare to mee doe thou incline,
i'th
day I cry, soone answer mee:
3 For
PSALM CII.
3 For as the smoake my dayes consume,
& like an hearth my bones burnt bee.
4 My heart is smote, & dryde like grasse,
that I to eate my bread forget:
5 By reason of my groanings voyce
my bones unto my skin are set.
6 Like Pelican in wildernes,
like Owle in desart so am I:
7 I watch, & like a sparrow am
on house top solitarily.
8 Mine enemies daily mee reproach:
'gainst mee they rage, 'gainst mee they sweare:
9 That I doe ashes eate for bread:
& mixe my drink with weeping-teare.
10 By reason of thy fervent wrath
& of thy vehement-disdaine:
for thou hast high advanced mee,
& thou hast cast mee downe againe.
(2)
11 My dayes as shaddow that decline:
& like the withered grasse am I.
12 But thou, Lord, dost abide for aye:
& thy Name to eternity.
13 Thou wilt arise, & wilt shew forth
thy tender-mercy on Sion:
for it is time to favour her,
yea the set time is now come on.
14 For in her stones thy servants doe
take pleasure, & her dust pitty.
15 And heathens shall the Lords Name feare.
&
all Kings of th'earth thy glory.
16 When
PSALME CII.
16 When as the Lord shall Sion build
hee in his glory shall appeare.
17 The poor's petition hee'l regard,
& hee will not despise their pray'r.
18 This shall in writing be inroll'd
for the succeeding-after-race:
that people also which shall bee
created, they the Lord may prayse.
19 For from his Sanctuary high
from heavn's the Lord the earth doth see:
20 To heare the groanes of prisoners:
to loose them that deaths children bee.
21 The Lords prayse in Ierusalem:
his Name in Sion to record.
22 when people are together met,
& Kingdomes for to serve the Lord.
(3)
23 He weakned hath i'th way my strength,
& shortened my dayes hath hee.
24 I sayd, in middist of my dayes
my God doe not away take mee:
Thy yeares throughout all ages are.
25 Thou hast the earth's foundation layd
for elder time: & heavens bee
the work which thine owne hands have made.
26 They perish shall, but thou shalt stand:
they all as garments shall decay:
& as a wearing vestiment
thou shalt thē change, & chang'd are they.
27 But thou art ev'n the same: thy yeares
they
never shall consumed bee.

A psalme of David.
O Thou my soule, Jehovah blesse,
& all things that in me
most inward are, in humblenes
his Holy-Name blesse ye
2 The Lord blesse in humility,
o thou my soule: also
put not out of thy memory
all's bounties, thee unto.
3 For hee it is who pardoneth
all thine iniquityes:
he it is also who healeth
all thine infirmityes.
4 Who thy life from destruction
redeems: who crowneth thee
with his tender compassion
& kinde benignitee.
5 Who with good things abundantlee
doth satisfie thy mouth:
so that like as the Eagles bee
renewed is thy youth.
6 Lord doth judgement & justice
for all oppressed ones.
7 To Moses shew'd those wayes of his:
his acts to Isr'ells sonnes.
(2)
8 The Lord is mercifull also
hee's very gracious:
and
PSALME CIII.
and unto anger hee is slow,
in mercy plenteous.
9 Contention he will not maintaine
to perpetuity:
nor he his anger will retaine
unto eternity.
10 According to our sins likewise
to us hee hath not done:
nor hath he our iniquityes
rewarded us upon.
11 Because even as the heavens are
in height the earth above:
so toward them that doe him feare
confirmed is his love.
12 Like as the East & West they are
farre in their distances:
he hath remov'd away so far
from us our trespasses.
13 A fathers pitty like unto,
which he his sonnes doth beare:
like pitty doth Iehovah show
to them that doe him feare.
14 For he doth know this frame of ours:
he minds that dust wee bee.
15 Mans dayes are like the grasse: like flowrs
in field, so flourisheth hee.
16 For over it the winde doth passe,
& it away doth goe;
also the place wheras it was
noe longer shall it know.
17 But
PSALM CIII, CIV.
(3)
17 But yet Gods mercy ever is,
shall be & aye hath been
to them that feare him; and's justice

18 To such as keepe his covenant,
that doe in minde up lay
the charge of his commandement
that it they may obey.
19 The Lord hath in the heavens hye
established his throne:
and over all his Royallty
doth beare dominion.
20 O yee his Angells that excell
in strength, blesse yee the Lord,
that doe his word, that harken well
unto the voyce of 's word.
21 All yee that are the Lords armies,
o blesse Iehovah still:
& all yee ministers of his,
his pleasure that fullfill.
22 Yea, all his works in places all
of his dominion,
blesse yee Jehovah o my Soul,
Jehovah blesse alone.
Psalme 104.
THe Lord blesse, o my Soule, o Lord
my God, exceedingly
great art thou: thou with honour art
cloath'd & with majesty.
2 Who

who like unto a curtaine dost

3 Who of his chambers layes the beames

4 His Angells Spirits, his ministers
who makes a fiery flame.
5 who earths foundations layd, that ne're

6 Thou with the deep (as with a robe)
didst cover the dry land:
above the places mountainous
the waters they did stand.
7 When as that thou rebukedst them
away then fled they fast:
they also at thy thunders voyce
with speed away doe hast.
8 Vp by the mountaines they asscend:
downe by the valleys go,
the place which thou didst found for them
untill they come unto.
9 Thou hast to them a bound prefixt
which they may not passe over:
so that they might noe more returne
againe the earth to cover.

10 who springs into the valleys sends,
which run among the hills.

12 Heavns fowles dwell by them, which do sing
among the sprigs with mirth.
13 Hee waters from his lofts the hills:
thy works fruit fill the earth.
14 For beasts hee makes the grasse to grow,
herbs also for mans good:
that hee may bring out of the earth
what may be for their food:
15 Wine also that mans heart may glad,
& oyle their face to bright:
and bread which to the heart of man
may it supply with might.
16 Gods trees are sappy: his planted
Cedars of Lebanon:
17 Where birds doe nest: as for the Storke,
Firres are her mansion.
18 The wilde Goates refuge are the hills:
rocks Conies doe inclose.
19 The Moone hee hath for seasons set,
the Sun his setting knows.
(3)
20 Thou makest darknes, & 'tis night:
when wood beasts creep out all.
21 After their prey young Lions roare:
from God for food they call.

they couch, when gone aside.
23 Man to his work & labour goes,
untill the ev'ning-tide.
24 O
Lord, how many are thy works!
in

all of them thou hast wrought
in wisdome: with thy plenteous store
the earth is fully fraught.
25 So is this great & spatious sea,
wherin things creeping bee
beyond all number: beasts of small
& of great quantitee.
26 There goe the ships: Leviathan,
therin thou madst to play.
27 These all wayt on thee, that their meate
in their time give thou may.
28 They gather what thou givest them:
thy hand thou op'nest wide,
& they with such things as are good
are fully satisfyde.
29 Thou hid'st thy face, they troubled are,
their breath thou tak'st away,
then doe they dye: also returne
unto their dust doe they.
30 They are created, when thou makst
thy spirit forth to go:
thou of the earth dost make the face
to be renew'd also.

to

10 to Isack. Made it fast,
a law to Jacob: & Isr'ell

(2)
11 He sayd, I'le give thee Canans 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
unto another pass:
when from one Kingdome their goings
to other people was,
14 He suffred none to doe them wrong:
Kings checkt he for their sake:
15 Touch not mine oynted ones; none ill
unto my Prophets make.
16 He cal'd for Famine on the land,
all staffe of bread brake hee.
17 Before them sent a man: Joseph
sold for a slave to bee.
18 Whose feet they did with fetters hurt:
in yr'n his soule did lye.
19 Vntill the time that his word came:
the Lords word did him trye.
20 The King the peoples Ruler sent,
loos'd him & let him go.
21 He made him Lord of all his house:
of all's wealth ruler too:
22 At's will to binde his Peers: & teach
23 his Ancients skill. Then came
Isr'ell
to Egypt: & Jacob
sojourn'ed
PSALM CV.
sojourn'd i'th land of Ham.
24 Hee much increast his folk: & made
them stronger then their foe,
25 Their heart he turn'd his folk: to hate:
to's servants craft to show.
(3)
26 Moses his servant he did send:
& Aaron whom he chose.
27 His signes & wonders them amongst,
they in Hams land disclose.
28 Hee darknes sent, & made it dark:
nor did they's word gain-say.
29 Hee turn'd their waters into bloud:
& 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 swarmes, & lice
in all their coasts he brings.
32 He gave them haile for raine: & in
their land fires flame did make.
33 And smote their Vines & their Figtrees:
& their coast-trees he brake.
34 He spake, & then the Locusts came:
& Caterpillars, such
the number of them was as none
could reckon up how much,
35 And ate all their lands herbs: & did
fruit of their ground devoure.
36 All first borne in their land he smote:
the chief of all their powre.
37 With
PSALME CV, CVI.
(4)
37 With silver also & with gold
he them from thence did bring:
& among all their tribes there was
not any one weak-ling.
38 Egypt was glad when out they went:
for on them fell their dread.
39 A cloud for cov'ring, & a fire
to light the night he spred.
40 They askt, & he brought quailes: did them
with heav'ns bread satisfy,
41 He op't the rock and waters flow'd:
flouds ran in places dry.
42 For on his holy promise, hee
and's servant Abraham thought.
43 With joye his people, and with songs
forth he his chosen brought.
44 He of the heathen people did
the land on them bestow:
the labour of the people they
inherited also.
45 To this intent that his statutes
they might observe alwayes:
also that they his lawes might keepe.
doe yee Jehovah prayse.
Psalme 106.
PRayse yee the Lord, o to the Lord
give thanks, for good is hee:
for his mercy continued is
to perpetuitee.
2 Who
can the Lords strong acts foreh tell?
or
PSALM CVI.
or all his prayse display?
3 Blest they that judgement keep: & wh•

4 With favour of thy people, Lord,
doe thou remember mee:
and mee with that salvation
visit which is of thee:
5 To see thy chosens good, to joy
in gladnes of thy nation:
that with thine owne inheritance
I might have exultation.
6 As our fore-fathers so have wee
sinned erroniously:
wee practis'd have iniquity,
wee have done wickedly.
(2)
7 Our fathers did not understand
thy wonders in Egypt,
nor was thy mercyes multitude
in their remembrance kept:
But at the sea at the red sea
8 vext him. Yet for his owne
Names sake he sav'd them that he might
his mighty powre make knowne.
9 The red sea also he rebuk't,
and dryed up it was:
so that as through the wildernes,
through depths he made them pass.
10 And from the hand of him that did
them hate, he set them free:
and
them redeemed from his hand
that
PSALM CVI.
that was their enemee.
11 The waters covered their foes:
of them there was left none.
12 They did believe his word; they sang
his prayses therupon.
(3)
13 They soone forgot his words; nor would
they for his counsell stay:
14 But much i'th wildernes did lust;
i'th desart God tryde they.
15 And he their suite them gave; but sent
leannes their soule into.
16 They envi'd Moses in the camp,
Aaron Gods Saint also.
17 The opned earth, Dathan devour'd;
and hid Abirams troup.
18 And fire was kindled in their rout:
flame burnt the wicked up.
19 In Horeb made a calfe; also
molt image worshipt they.
20 They chang'd their glory to be like,
an oxe that eateth hay.
21 They God forgot their saviour; which
in Egipt did great acts:
22 Works wondrous in the land of Ham:
by th'red sea dreadfull facts.
23 And sayd, he would them waste; had not
Moses stood (whom he chose)
'fore him i'th breach, to turne his wrath,
lest that hee should waste those.
24 Yet
PSALM CVI.
(4)
24 Yet they despis'd the pleasant land:
nor did believe his word:
25 But murmur'd in their tents: the voyce
they heard not of the Lord.
26 To make them fall i'th desart then,
'gainst them he lift his hands.
27 'Mongst nations eke to fell their seed,
and scatter them i'th lands.
28 And to Baal-Peor they joyn'd themselves:
ate offrings of the dead.
29 Their works his wrath did thus provoake:
the plague amongst them spread.
30 Then Phineas rose, & judgement did:
and so the plague did stay.
31 Which justice to him counted was:
to age and age for aye.
(5)
32 At th'waters of contention
they angred him also:
so that with Moses for their sakes,
it very ill did go:
33 Because his spirit they provoakt:
with's lips to speake rashly.
34 The nations as the Lord them charg'd,
they stroyd not utterly:
35 But were amongst the Heathen mixt,
and learn'd their works to do:
36 And did their Idols serve; which them
became a snare unto.
37 Yea,
unto divills, they their sonnes
and
PSALME CVI.
and daughters offered·
38 And guiltlesse bloud, bloud of their sons
& of their daughters shed,
Whom unto Canans Idols they
offred in sacrifice:
the land with bloud abundantly
polluted was likewise.
39 Thus with the works were they defylde
which they themselves had done:
and they did goe a whoring with
inventions of their owne:
(6)
40 Therefore against his folk the wrath
was kindled of the Lord:
so that he the inheritance
which was his owne abhorr'd.
41 And he gave them to heathens hand;
their haters their lords were.
42 Their foes thral'd them; under their hand
made them the yoake to beare.
43 Oft he deliverd them; but they
provoakt him bitterly
with their coun•ell, & were brought low
for their iniquity.
44 Yet, he regarded their distresse;
when he did heare their plaint.
45 And he did to remembrance call
for them his Covenant:
And in him many mercyes did
46 repent. And made them bee
pitty'd
of all that led them forth
into

into captivitee.
47 Save us, o Lord our God, & us
from heathens gath'ring rayse
to give thanks to thy Holy-Name:

O Give yee thanks unto the Lord,
because that good is hee:
because his loving kindenes lasts
to perpetuitee.
2 So let the Lords redeem'd say: whom
hee freed from th'enemies hands:
3 And gathred them from East, & West,
from South, & Northerne lands.
4 I'th desart, in a desart way
they wandred: no towne finde,
5 to dwell in. Hungry & thirsty:
their soule within them pinde.
6 Then did they to Jehovah cry
when they were in distresse:
who
did them set at liberty
our
PSALME CVII.
out of their anguishes.
7 In such a way that was most right
he led them forth also:
that to a citty which they might
inhabit they might go.
8 O that men would Jehovah prayse
for his great goodnes then:
& for his workings wonderfull
unto the sonnes of men.
9 Because that he the longing soule
doth throughly satisfy:
the hungry soule he also fills
with good abundantly.
(2)
10 Such as in darknes' and within
the shade of death abide;
who are in sore affliction,
also in yron tyde:
11 By reason that against the words
of God they did rebell;
also of him that is most high
contemned the counsell.
12 Therefore with molestation
hee did bring downe their heart:
downe did they fall, & none their was
could help to them impart.
13 Then did they to Jehovah cry
when they were in distress:
who did them set at liberty
out of their anguishes.
14 He
did them out of darknes bring,
also
PSALM CVII.
also deaths shade from under:
as for the bands that they were in
he did them break asunder.
15 O that men would Iehovah prayse
for his great goodnes then:
and for his workings wonderfull
unto the sonnes of men.
16 For he hath all to shivers broke
the gates that were of brasse:
& hee asunder cut each barre
that made of yron was.
(3)
17 For their transgressions & their sins,
fooles doe affliction beare.
18 All kinde of meate their soule abhorres:
to deaths gate they draw neare.
19 Then did they to Jehovah cry
when they were in distress,
who did them set at liberty
out of their anguishes.
20 He, sent his word, & therewithall
healing to them he gave:
from out of their destructions
he did them also save.
21 O that men would Iehovah prayse,
for his great goodnes then:
& for his workings wonderfull
unto the sons of men.
22 And sacrifices sacrifice
let them of thanksgiving:
&
while his works they doe declare
let
PSALME CVII.
let them for gladnes sing.
(4)
23 They that goe downe to'th sea in ships:
their busines there to doo
24 in waters great. The Lords work see,
it'h deep his wonders too.
25 Because that he the stormy winde
commandeth to arise:
which lifteth up the waves therof,
26 They mount up to the skyes:
Downe goe they to the depths againe,
their soule with ill doth quaile.
27 They reele, & stagger, drunkard like,
and all their witt doth faile.
28 Then did they to Iehovah cry
when they were in distress:
and therupon he bringeth them
out of their anguishes.
29 Hee makes the storme a calme: so that
the waves therof are still.
30 Their rest then glads them; he them brings
to'th hav'n which they did will.
31 O that men would Iehovah prayse
for his great goodnes then:
& for his workings wonderfull
unto the sons of men.
32 Also within the peoples Church
him let them highly rayse:
where Elders are assembled, there
him also let them prayse.
33 Hee
PSALM CVII.
(5)
33 He rivers to a desart turnes,
to drought the springing well:
34 A fruitfull soyle to barrennes;
for their sin there that dwell.
35 The desart to a poole he turnes;
and dry ground to a spring.
36 Seates there the hungry; who prepare
their towne of habiting,
37 Vineyards there also for to plant,
also to sow the field;
which may unto them fruitfull things,
of much revenue yield.
38 Also he blesseth them, so that
they greatly are increast:
and for to be diminished
he suffers not their beast.
39 Againe they are diminished
& they are brought downe low,
by reason of their pressing-streights,
affliction & sorrow.
(6)
40 On Princes he contempt doth powre;
and causeth them to stray
i'th solitary wildernes,
wherin there is no way.
41 Yet hee out of affliction
doth make the poore to rise,
& like as if it were a flock
doth make him families.
42 The
righteous shall it behold,
and
PSALME CVII, CVIII.
and he shall joyfull bee:
in silence stop her mouth also
shall all iniquitee.
43 Who so is wise, & who so will
these things attentive learne:
the loving-kindenes of the Lord
they clearely shall discerne.

within the midst of nations
thee will I prayse with song.
4 For o're the heav'ns thy mercys great;
to'th skyes thy truth doth mount.
5 Or'e heav'ns o God, be lift, all earth
let thy glory surmount:
6 That thy beloved people may
be set at libertee:
with thy right hand salvation give,
& doe thou answer mee.
(2)
7 God hath in his owne holines
spoken, rejoyce I shall:
of Shechem I'le division make;
& mete our Succoths vale.
8 Mine
Gilead, mine Manasseh is,
and
PSALM CVIII, CIX.
& Ephraim also hee
is of my head the strength: Iudah
shall my law-giver bee.
9 Moab my wash-pot, I will cast
over Edom my shoo:
I'le make a shout triumphantly
over Philistia too.
10 Who is it that will bring me to
the citty fortifyde?
who is it that into Edom
will be to mee a guide?
11 Wilt not thou doe this thing, o God,
who didst us cast thee fro?
& likewise wilt thou o God,
forth with our armies go?
12 From trouble give us help; for vaine
is mans salvation.
13 Through God wee shall do valiantly;
for
hee'l our foes tread downe.
Psalme 109.
To the chief musician, a psalme
of David.
GOD of my prayse, hold not thy peace,
For mouth of the wicked,
& mouth of the deceitfull are
against mee opened:
Gainst mee they speake with lying tongue.
3 And compasse mee about
with words of hate; & mee against
without a cause they fought.
4 They
for my love mine enemies are:
PSALM CIX.
but I my prayer make.
5 And ill for good rewarded mee;
& hate for my loves sake.
6 A wicked person over him
doe thou make for to sit,
also at his right hand doe thou
let Satan stand at it.
7 When he is judged, let him then
condemned be therin:
and let the prayr that hee doth make.
be turned into sin.
8 Few let his dayes bee: & let his
office another take.
9 His children let be fatherlesse,
and's wife a widow make.
10 Let's children still be vagabonds,
begge they their bread also:
out of their places desolate
let them a seeking go
(2)
11 Yea, let th'extortioner catch all
that doth to him pertaine:
and let the stranger spoyle what he
did by his labour gaine.
12 Let there not any bee that may
mercy to him expresse:
nor any one that favour may
his children fatherlesse.
13 The ishue also let thou be
cut off that from him came:
it'h
following generation
out
PSALM CIX.
out blotted be his name.
14 Remembred with the Lord be his
fathers iniquitee:
and of his mother never let
the sin out blotted bee.
15 Before Jehovah let them bee
continually put:
that from out of the earth he may
the mem'ry of them cut.
16 Because that he remembred not
compassion to impart,
but did pursue the needy poore:
to slay the broke in heart.
(3)
17 As he did cursing love, so let
cursing unto him come:
as he did not in blessing joy,
so be it far him from.
18 With cursing like a robe as hee
cloath'd him: so let it go
like water to his bowels, and
like oyle his bones into.
19 Garment like let it to him be,
himselfe for to aray:
and for a girdle, wherewith hee
may gird himselfe alway.
20 Thus let mine adversaryes bee
rewarded from the Lord:
also of them against my soule
that speak an evil word.
21 But
PSALM CIX.
(4)
21 But God the Lord, for thy Names sake,
o doe thou well for mee:
because thy mercy it is good,
o doe thou set mee free.
22 For poore & needy I: in mee
my heart's wounded also.
23 Like falling shade I passe: I'me tost
Locust like to & fro.
24 Through fasts my knees are weak: my flesh
it's fatnes doth forsake.
25 And I am their reproach: they look
at mee, their heads they shake.
26 Help
mee, o Lord my God: after
thy mercy save thou mee:
27 That they may know this is thy hand:
Lord that i'ts done by thee.
28 Let them curse, but o doe thou blesse;
when as that they arise
let them be shamed, thy servant
let him rejoyce likewise.
29 Mine adversaryes o let them
with shame be cloath'd upon:
& themselves cloath as with a cloak
with their confusion.
30 I'le to Iehovah with my mouth
give thanks exceedingly:
yea him among the multitude
with prayse I'le glorify.
31 For hee shall stand at right hand of
the poore & needy one:
from
PSALM CIX, CX.
from those that doe condemne his soule
to give salvation.
Psalme 110.
A psalme of David.
THe Lord did say unto my Lord,
sit thou at my right hand:
till I thine enemies make a stoole
wheron thy feet may stand.
2 The Lord the rod shall of thy strength
send from out of Sion:
in middest of thine enemies
have thou dominion.
3 Willing thy folk in thy dayes powre,
in holy beautyes bee:
from mornings womb; thou hast the de•
of thy youth unto thee.
4 Jehovah sware, nor will repent,
thou art a Priest for aye:
after the order that I of
Melchizedeck did say.
5 The Lord who is at thy right hand.
wounding shall strike through Kings
in that same day wherin that hee
his indignation brings.
6 Hee shall among the heathen judge,
and fill with bodies dead
great places, & o're many lands
he shall strike through the head.
7 Out of the torrent he shall drink
i'th way hee passeth by:
because
of this therefore hee shall
lift
PSALM CXI.
lift up his head on hye.
Psalme 111.
PRayse yee the Lord; with my whole heart
Jehovah prayse will I:
i'th private meetings of th'upright,
and publicke assembly.
2 Great are the Lords works: sought of all
that in them have pleasure.
3 Comely & glorious is his work:
aye doth his justice dure.
4 To be remembred he hath made
his doings merveilous:
full of compassion is the Lord
as well as gracious.
5 Meate hath hee given unto them
that fearers of him bee:
he evermore his covenant
doth keepe in memoree:
6 The power of his works hee did
unto his people show:
that he the heathens heritage
upon them might bestow.
(2)
7 Both verity & judgement are
the working of his hands:
yea very faithfull also are
each one of his commands.
8 For ever & for evermore
they stand in stablenes:
yea they are done in verity
also in uprightnes·
9 Redemption
PSALM CXI, CXII.
9 Redemption to his folk he sent,
that covenant of his
for aye he hath ordaind: holy
and reverend his Name is.
10 Of wisdome the begining is
Jehovahs feare: all they
that doe his will have prudence good.
his prayse indures for aye.
Psalme 112.
PRayse yee the Lord. blest is the man
that doth Iehovah feare,
that doth in his commandements
his spirit greatly cheare.
2 The very mighty upon earth
shall be that are his seed:
they also shall be blessed that
from th' upright doe proceed.
3 And there shall be within his house
both wealth & much rich store:
his righteousnes it also doth
indure for evermore.
4 In midst of darknes there doth light
to upright ones arise:
both gracious, & pittyfull,
righteous he is likewise.
(2)
5 A good man hee doth favour show
& ready is to lend:
and with descretion his affayres
he carryes to an end.
6 That
man shall not assuredly
for
PSALME
CXII, CXIII.
for ever moved bee:
the righteous man he shall be had
in lasting memoree.
7 By evill tydings that he heares
he shall not be afrayd:
his trust he putting in the Lord.
his heart is firmly stayd.
8 His heart is sure established,
feare shall not him surprise,
untill he see what hee desires
upon his enemies.
9 He hath disperst, hath giv'n to poore:
his justice constantly
indureth: & his horne shall be
with honour lifted hye.
10 The wicked shall see, & be griev'd;
gnash with his teeth shall hee
and melt away: and their desire
shall faile that wicked bee.
Psalme 113.
THe Lord prayse yee, prayse yee the Lord
his servants Gods Name prayse.
2 O blessed be Jehovahs Name,

7 The needy from the dust he lifts:
the poore lifts from the dung.
8 That hee with princes may him set:
his peoples Peeres among.
9 The barren woman he doth make
to keepe house, & to bee
a joyfull mother of children:
wherefore the Lord prayse yee.
Psalme 114.
WHen Isr'ell did depart
th' Egyptians from among,
and Iacobs house from a people
that were of a strange tongue:
2 Judah his holy place:
Isrell's dominion was.
3 The sea it saw, & fled: Jordane
was forced back to pass.
4 The mountaines they did leap
upwards like unto rams:
the litle hills also they did
leap up like unto lambs.
5 Thou sea what made thee flye?
thou Iordane, back to go?
6 Yee mountaines that yee skipt like rams:
like lambs yee hills also?

Psalme 115
NOt to us, not unto us, Lord,

for thy mercy, for thy truths sake.
2 The heathen wherefore should they say:
where is their God now gone away?
3 But heavn's our God his seat doth make:
Hee hath done whatsoe're he would.
4 Their Idols are silver & gold:
the handy work of men they were.
5 Mouths have they, speachlesse yet they be•:
eyes have they, but they doe not see.
6 Eares have they but they doe not heare:
Noses have they, but doe not smell.
7 Hands have they, but cannot handell,
feet have they but they doe not go:
And through their throat they never spake.
8 Like them are they, that doe them make:
& all that trust in them are so.
9 Trust in the Lord o Israell,
he is their help, their shield as well.
10 O Arons house the Lord trust yee:
Hee is their help, & hee their shield.
11 Who feare the Lord, trust to him yield:
their help also their shield is hee.
(2)
12 The Lord hath mindefull been of us,
he'le blesse us, he'le blesse Isr'ells house:
blessing he'le Arons house afford.
13 He'le blesse Gods fearers: great & small.
14 You

PSALM CV, CXVI.
15 increase still. You blest of the Lord
16 which heav'n & earth made. Heav'ns heav'ns-bee
the Lords: but th'earth mens sons gives hee.
17 The Lords prayse dead doe not afford:
Nor any that to silence bow.
18 But wee will blesse the Lord both now
and ever henceforth. prayse the Lord.
Psalme 116.
I Love the Lord, because he doth
my voice & prayer heare.
2 And in my dayes will call, because
he bow'd to mee his eare.
3 The pangs of death on ev'ry side
about beset mee round:
the paines of hell 'gate hold on mee,
distresse & griefe I found.
4 Vpon Jehovahs Name therefore
I called, & did say,
deliver thou my soule, o Lord,
I doe thee humbly pray.
5 Gracious the Lord & just, our God
is mercifull also.
6 The Lord the simple keeps: & hee
sav'd mee when I was low.
7 O thou my soule doe thou returne
unto thy quiet rest:
because the Lord to thee himselfe
hath bounteously exprest.
8 For thou hast freed my soule from death,
mine eyes from teares, from fall
9 my

of

of living walk I shall.
(2)
10 I did believe, therefore I spake:
afflicted much was I.
11 That every man a lyar is
I did say hastily.
12 What shall I render to the Lord,
to mee for's benefits all.
13 I'le take the cup of saving health
& on the Lords Name call.
14 In presence now of all his folk,
I'le pay the Lord my vowes.
15 Of his Saints, in Jehovahs sight
the death is pretious.
16 I am thy servant, truly Lord
thine owne servant am I:
I am the son of thy hand-maide,
my bands thou didst untye.
17 Of thanksgiving the sacrifice
offer to thee I will:
Jehovahs Name I earnestly
will call upon it still.
18 Vnto Jehovah I will pay

3 Let Arons house now say, that his

4 Likewise let them now say, who of

from out of streitnes great;

but in Jehovahs Name I will

12 They compast mee like Bees, are quencht

13 Thou didst thrust sore to make mee fall:
the Lord yet helped mee.

Psalm 140.
psalm
PSALME CXL.
To the chief musician, a psalme
of David,
LORD, free mee from the evill man:
from violent man save mee.
2 Whose hearts thinke mischief: every day
for war they gathred bee.
3 Their tongues they have made to be sharp
a serpent like unto:
the poyson of the Aspe it is
under their lipps also. Selah.
4 Keepe mee, Lord, from the wickeds hands,
from violent man mee save:
my goings who to overthrow
in thought projected have.
5 The proud have hid a snare for mee,
cords also: they a net
have spred abroad by the way side:
grins for mee they have set. Selah.
6 Vnto Jehovah I did say,
thou art a God to mee:
Lord, heare the voice of my requests,
which are for grace to thee.
(2)
7 O God, the Lord, who art the stay
of my salvation:
my head by thee hath covered been
the day of battell on.
8 Those mens desires that wicked are,
Jehovah, doe not grant,
their wicked purpose furher not,
lest they themselves doe vaunt.
9 As
PSALM CXL, CXLI.
9 As for the head of them that mee
doe round about inclose,
o let the molestation
of their lips cover those.
10 Let burning coales upon them fall,
into the fire likewise
Let them be cast, into deepe pits,
that they no more may rise.
11 Let not i'th earth establisht bee
men of an evill tongue:
evill shall hunt to overthrow.
the man of violent wrong.
12 The afflicteds cause, the poore mans right,
I know God will maintaine:
13 Yea, just shall praise thy Name: th'upright
shall 'fore thy face remaine.
Psalme 141.
A psalme of David.
O GOD, my Lord, on thee I call,
doe thou make hast to mee:
and harken thou unto my voice,
when I cry unto thee.
2 And let my pray'r directed be
as incense in thy sight:
and the up-lifting of my hands
as sacrifice at night.
3 Jehovah, oh that thou would'st set
a watch my mouth before:
as also of my lips with care
o doe thou keepe the dore.
4 Bow
not my heart to evill things;
to
PSALME CXLI.
to doe the wicked deed
with wicked workers: & let not
mee of their dainties feed.
5 Let just-men smite mee, kindenes 'tis;
let him reprove mee eke,
it shall be such a pretious oyle,
my head it shall not breake:
For yet my prayr's ev'n in their woes.
6 When their judges are cast
on rocks, then shall they heare my words,
for they are sweet to taste.
7 Like unto one who on the earth
doth cutt & cleave the wood,
ev'n so our bones at the graves mouth
are scattered abroad.
8 But unto thee o God, the Lord
directed are mine eyes:
my soule o leave not destitute,
on thee my hope relyes.
9 O doe thou keepe mee from the snare
which they have layd for mee;
& also from the grins of those
that work iniquitee.
10 Together into their owne nets
o let the wicked fall:
untill such time that I escape
may make from them withall.
Psalme 142.
Maschil of David, a prayer when
he was in the cave.
psalm
PSALM CXLII.
VNto Iehovah with my voice,
I did unto him cry:
unto Iehovah with my voice
my sute for grace made I.
2 I did poure out before his face
my meditation:
before his face I did declare
the trouble mee upon.
3 O'rewhelm'd in mee when was my spirit,
then thou didst know my way:
I'th way I walkt, a snare for mee
they privily did lay.
4 On my right hand I lookt, & saw,
but no man would mee know,
all refuge faild mee: for my soule
none any care did show.
5 Then to thee Lord, I cryde, & sayd,
my hope thou art alone:
& in the 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.
7 That I thy Name may praise, my soule
from prison oh bring out:
when thou shalt mee reward, the just
shall compasse mee about.
Psalme 143.
A psalme of David.
PSALME CXLIII.
LORD, heare my prayr, give eare when I
doe supplicate to thee:
in thy truth, in thy righteousnes;
make answer unto mee.
2 And into judgement enter not
with him that serveth thee;
for in thy sight no man that lives
can justified bee.
3 For th'enemie hath pursude my soule,
my life to'th ground hath throwne:
& made mee dwell i'th dark like them
that dead are long agone.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmd
perplexedly in mee:
my heart also within mee is
made desolate to bee.
5 I call to minde the dayes of old,
I meditation use
on all thy words: upon the work
of thy hands I doe muse.
6 [Moreover] I doe unto thee
reach mine out-stretched hands:
so after thee my soule doth thirst
as doe the thristy lands. Selah.
(2)
7 Hast, Lord, heare mee, my spirit doth faile,
hide not thy face mee fro:
lest I become like one of them
that downe to pit doe go.
8 Let mee thy mercy heare i'th morne,
for I doe on thee stay,
wherin
PSALM CXLIII, CXLIV.
wherin that I should walk cause mee
to understand the way:
For unto thee I lift my soule.
9 O Lord deliver mee
from all mine enemies; I doe flye
to hide my selfe with thee.
10 Because thou art my God, thy will
oh teach thou mee to doe,
thy spirit is good: of uprightnes
lead mee the land into·
11 Jehovah, mee o quicken thou
ev'n for thine owne Names sake;
And for thy righteousnes my soule
from out of trouble take.
12 Doe thou also mine enemies
cut off in thy mercy,
destroy them that afflict my soule:
for thy servant am I.
Psalme 144.
A psalme of David.
O Let Jehovah blessed be
who is my rock of might,
who doth instruct my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight.
2 My goodnes, fortresse, my hye towre,
& that doth set mee free:
my shield, my trust, which doth subdue
my people under mee.
3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou
knowledge of him dost take?
what
is the son of man, that thou
account
PSALME XCLIV.
account of him dost make?
4 Man's like to vanity: his dayes
passe like a shade away.
5 Lord, bow the heav'ns, come downe & touch
the mounts & smoake shall they.
6 Lightning cast forth, & scatter them:
thine arrows shoot, them rout,
7 Thine hand o send thou from above,
doe thou redeeme mee out:
And rid mee from the waters great:
from hand of strangers brood:
8 Whose mouth speaks lyes, their right hand is
a right hand of falsehood.
(2)
9 O God, new songs I'le sing to thee:
upon the Psaltery,
and on ten stringed instrument
to thee sing praise will I.
10 It's hee that giveth unto Kings
safety victorious:
his servant David he doth save
from sword pernitious.
11 Rid mee from hand of strange children,
whose mouth speakes vanity:
& their right hand a right hand is
of lying filsity:
12 That like as plants which are growne up
in youth may be our sons;
our daughters pallace like may be
pollisht as corner stones:
13 Our
garners full, affording store
of
PSALM CXLIV, CXLV.
of every sort of meates;
our cattell bringing thousands forth,
ten thousands in our streets:
14 Strong let our oxen bee to work,
that breaking in none bee
nor going out: that so our streets
may from complaints bee free.
15 O blessed shall the people be
whose state is such as this:
o blessed shall the people be,
whose God Jehovah is.
Psalme 145.
Davids psalme of praise.
MY God, o King, I'le thee extoll:
& blesse thy Name for aye.
2 For ever will I praise thy Name;
and blesse thee every day.
3 Great is the Lord, most worthy praise:
his greatnes search can none.
4 Age unto age shall praise thy works:
& thy great acts make knowne.
5 I of thy glorious honour will
speake of thy majesty;
& of the operations
by thee done wondrously.
6 Also men of thy mighty works
shall speake which dreadfull are:
also concerning thy greatnes,
it I will forth declare:
7 Thy great goodnesses memory
they largely shall express:
and
PSALME CLXLV.
and they shall with a shouting voice
sing of thy righteousnes.
8 The Lord is gracious, & hee is
full of compassion:
slow unto anger, & full of
commiseration.
9 The Lord is good to all: or'e all part (2)
his works his mercies bee.
10 All thy works shall praise thee, o Lord:
& thy Saints shall blesse thee,
11 They'le of thy kingdomes glory speake:
and talk of thy powre hye;
12 To make mens sons his great acts know:
his kingdomes majesty.
13 Thy Kingdome is a kingdome aye:
& thy reigne lasts alwayes.
14 The Lord doth hold up all that fall:
and all downe-bow'd ones rayse.
15 All eyes wayt on thee, & their meat
thou dost in season bring.
16 Opnest thy hand, & the desire
fill'st of each living thing.
17 In all his wayes the Lord is just:
& holy in's works all.
18 Hee's neere to all that call on him:
in truth that on him call.
19 Hee satisfy will the desire
of those that doe him feare:
Hee will be safety unto them,
and when they cry he'le heare.
20 The
Lord preserves each one of them
that
PSALM CXLV.
That lovers of him bee:
but whosoever wicked are
abolish them doth hee.
21 My mouth the prayses of the Lord
by speaking shall express:
also all flesh his holy Name
for evermore shall bless.
Psalme 146.
THe Lord praise: praise (my soule) the Lord,
So long as I doe live
I'le praise the Lord; while that I am,
praise to my God I'le give.
3 Trust not in Princes; nor mans son
who can no succour send.
4 His breath goe's forth, to's earth he turnes,
his thoughts that day doe end.
5 Happie is hee that hath the God
of Iacob for his ayd:
whose expectation is upon
Jehovah his God stayd.
6 Which heav'n, earth, sea, all in them made:
truth keeps for evermore:
7 Which for th'oppressed judgement doth,
gives to the hungry store,
8 The Lord doth loose the prisoners.
the Lord ope's eyes of blinde,
the Lord doth paise the bowed downe;
the Lord to'th just is kinde.
9 The Lord saves stangers, & relievs
the orphan, & widow:
but
hee of them that wicked are
the
PSALME CXLVI, CXLVII.
the way doth overthrow.
10 The Lord shall reigne for evermore,
thy God, o Sion, hee
to generations all shall reigne:
o prayse Iehovah yee.
Psalme 147.
PRayse yee the Lord, for it
is good praises to sing,
to our God for it's sweet,
praise is a comely thing.
2 Jerusalem
the Lord up-reares,
outcasts gathers
of Isre'll them.
3 The broke in heart he heales:
& up their wounds doth binde.
4 The stars by number tells:
hee calls them all by kinde.
5 Our Lord great is,
& of great might,
yea infinite
his knowledge 'tis.
6 The Lord sets up the low:
wicked to ground doth fling.
7 Sing thanks the Lord unto
on Harp, our Gods praise sing.
8 Who clouds the skyes,
to earth gives raines:
who on mountaines
makes grasse to rise.
9 Beasts,
hee & ravens young
when
PSALM CXLVII.
when as they cry feeds then.
10 Joyes not in horses strong:
nor in the leggs of men.
11 The Lord doth place
his pleasure where
men doe him feare,
& hope on's grace.
12 Jerusalem, God praise:
Sion thy God confess:
13 For thy gates barres he stayes,
in thee thy sons doth bless.
14 Peace maketh hee
in borders thine:
with wheat so fine
hee filleth thee.
15 On earth sends his decree:
swiftly his word doth pass.
16 Gives snow like wool, spreds hee
his hoare frost ashes as.
17 His yee doth cast
like morsels to:
'fore his cold who
can stand stedfast?
18 His word sends, & them thaws:
makes winde blow, water flows.
19 His word, Jacob; his laws,
& judgements Isr'ell shows.
20 Hee hath so done
no nation to,
judgements also
they have not knowne.
Hallelujah,
