The barren woman when implor'd His bounty hath with children stor'd O therefore praise this gratious Lord. PSAL. CXIV 1. WHen Israel from Egypt went Free from his banishment And Iacob came from that strange land Conducted by God's hand 2. The house of Iudah which did passe His Sanctuary was And Israel the chosen throne Of His dominion 3. The Sea saw that and did disperse Iordan his course reverse 4.

Why should the heathen Thee defy Whilst Where is now their God they cry 3. Our God in heaven doth remaine And acts what ere he did ordaine Their Idols Silver are and Gold The work which hands of men did mould 5. Mouths have they yet they speechlesse be And they have eyes but cannot see 6. They ears possesse which nothing heare And noses not for smelling beare 7.

Whilst therefore life continue shall I will upon Him call 3. The snares of death about me dwelt And paines of Hell I felt Disturbed thoughts and heavinesse My conscience did oppress 4. Then to the Lord my plaint I made And thus unto Him said O Lord my soule from falling save And lift me from the grave 5. The Lord is gracious and just To those His mercy trust 6. His Hand the simple doth protect When crosses them deject 7. Turne then my soule unto thy rest God's favours have thee blest He bountifully doth reward And thee from dangers guard 8. Thou keep'st my soule from death's pale feares My drooping eyes from teares And did'st my wand'ring steps recall When I was apt to fall 9. My feet before the Lord shall stand In His eternall land 10. I therefore pray'd and thus believ'd Yet still my heart was griev'd For in my foes successe I fail'd Till faith at last prevail'd 11. Then I all men for Lyars knew And God alone for true 12. What retribution shall I give To him by whom I live Or what acknowledgment apply For His benignity 13. Salvations sacred Cup I 'le take And humble prayers make 14. Before His people shall be pay'd The vowes which I have made 15. For those that live like Saints upright And in the Lord delight Are living dear unto His eye And pretious when they dy 16. Lord I Thy faithfull servant am And still adore Thy Name Thou loosed hast my heavy yoak My bonds in sunder broke 17. Therefore my praises unto Thee Shall daily

Be ye not like the horse or mule Whom reason cannot rule Whose stubborne mouths the bit and reine From fury must restreine 10.

XXXIII 1. YEe righteous in the Lord delight For praise becomes th'upright 2. Let Harpe and Psaltery's consent The ten-string'd instrument 3.

The Heav'ns bright host and all beneath He formed with His breath 7. He doth the waters of the deep Heap'd in His store-store-house keep 8. Let men and all which earth doth beare Of Him then stand in feare 9. He spake and at His free commands The world unmoved stands 10. Mens counsailes and devises wrought The Lord will bring to nought 11. Yet through all ages His decree And thoughts unchanged be 12. Blest is the People He protects And for His Lot elects 13. The Lord from Heav'n His dwelling place 14. Beheld all humane race 15. Their hearts He fashion'd whose each thought And worke to light is brought 16. No King is sav'd by multitude Nor man with might endu'd 17. As vaine for safety is the horse To reskue by his force 18. Who feare and on Gods love relye Are ever in his Eye 19.

The Lord with me O magnifie Exalt His Name on high I sought Him who my prayer heard And sav'd from all I fear'd 5. They look'd to Him and light'ned were No shame their faces beare 6. For God did at the poor man's cry Relieve his misery 7. His Angell those environs round Who in His fear are sound 8. O tast and see how good is Hee To such as faithfull be 9. O fear the Lord yee Saints of His For such no blessings misse 10. Young Lions often lacking prey With hunger pine away But those that seek His Covenant No good thing ever want 11. Come children hearken to my speech I you His feare will teach 12. What man is he long life doth crave Or happy dayes would have 13. Keep thou thy tongue from wicked wile Thy lips from speaking guile 14. Depart from ill in good encrease Pursue and seek for peace 15. For on the just God casts His eyes His eares admit their cryes 16. Against the bad He sets his face To cut them from their place 17. The righteous cry and God attends In trouble safety sends 18. He doth in broken hearts delight And saveth soules contrite 19. Great troubles on the righteous fall But He releives in all 20. He keeps the number of each bone Nor broken shall be one 21. Transgressors their own mischeifs slay And with just vengeance pay All such as doe the righteous hate Shall soone be desolate 22.

The shield for my Protection weare Draw out Thy all-subduing speare Stop Thou my persecutors way Soule I am thy salvation say 4. Let them drove back with shame retire Who to procure my hurt conspire 5. Like chaffe before the Whirlwinds blast Let them be by God's Angell chas'd 6. Darke be their way their steps untrue And let His Angel them pursue 7. For without cause they hid their snare And for my soule did pits prepare 8. But let themselves surprised all In their contriv'd destruction fall 9. My soule in God shall joyfull be 10. My bones all say who 's like to Thee Who keep'st the poor from suff'ring wrong And help'st the needy 'gainst the strong 11. False witnesse did against me rise And things unknowne to me devise 12. For good they me reward with ill To spoile my soule and life to spill 13. Yet when they lay in sicknesse cast I did for them both pray and fast 14. As for my friend or brother borne Or for my Mother did I mourne 15. But of my trouble glad they joyn'd Yea abjects in my scorne combin'd 16. The mocking hypocrites at feasts By flowting me delight the guests 17. How long wilt Thou looke on O Lord Nor reskue to my soule afford O save me from destructions jawes My darling from the Lions pawes 18. Then in the great assembly I Will thanks and praises multiply 19. Let not insulting foes despise Or wink upon me with their eyes 20. They speake not peace but practise strife Disturbing those of quiet life 21. Their mouth 'gainst me they opened wide Ha ha our eye hath seene it cry'd 22. O Lord Thou their despight dost see Nor silence keep nor absent be 23. Stirre up Thy selfe to judgment wake My cause to Thy protection take 24. O judge me in Thy truth least they 25. With joy We have him swallow'd say 26. But let confounding shame them cloath Who love my hurt my quiet loath 27. Let them that favour my just cause Extoll the Lord with lowd applause Whose goodnes doth his servant raise 28. And still my tongue shall speake Thy praise PSAL. XXXVI 1. MY heart of the transgressor saith No fear of God he hath 2. Himselfe he flatters in conceit Becomming all mens hate 3. His mouth doth fraud and sin devise He is nor good nor wise 4. He mischeife on his bed contrives By wayes abhorred thrives 5. Up to the clouds Thy mercies reach The hills Thy justice teach 6. Thy judgments Lord who all dost keep Are like th'un-fathom'd deep 7. How doth Thy love excell Thy wing Man-kind ore-shadowing 8. Thy house to them full plenty brings Who drinke of Thy pure springs 9. Thou hast lifes springs and in Thy sight We shall behold the light 10. Thy kindnesse Lord and grace impart To the upright in heart 11. Let not the foot of pride prevaile Nor wicked hands assaile 12.

So words like these their passion throwes How should we thinke God knowes 12. Who lets the wicked live in health And daily grow in wealth 13. Why vertue then should I retaine I cleanse my heart in vaine In vaine my hands held from offense I wash in innocence 14. For all the daies my life hath seen I have afflicted been My Soule with wants and sorrowes worne Was chast'ned every morne 15. Yet should I not these murmurs check But thus disturbed speak I might thy Children so offend And Thee blaspheming end Second Part. 16. But this I found by flesh and blood Hard to be understood 17. Nor till I to Thy Temple went Could know what these things meant Then I discern'd what they portend And how the wicked end 18. Whom Thou in slippery fortunes plac't Do'st unto ruin cast 19. How are their glories quick as thought To desolation brought They in a moment turn'd to teares Consume by their own feares 20. God as a dreame when one awakes Their Image vanish makes Causing their late admirers eyes Them now as much despise 21. Thus was my heart perplex'd with paines And anguish prick'd my reines 22. So foolish in my thoughts disrest Am I so like a beast 23. Yet I by Thee am still sustain'd Held up by Thy Right hand 24. Thy counsail here shall me direct Then crown with Thine Elect. 25. Whom have I in the heav'ns but Thee Who can my Saviour be And through the spatious earth I none Desire but Thee alone 26. My drooping heart doth daily faile My flesh corrupt and fraile But Thou the strength'ner of my heart And lasting portion art 27.

Lift up Thy feet bring those to nought Who 'gainst Thy Church have evill wrought 4. Thine adversaries roar and shout They hang in scorne their banners out 5. The carved workes whose art and cost Thy Temples building once did boast 6. Are into pitty'd ruin throw'n And with their hammers broken down 7. Thy Holy Place they turne to flame Defile the dwelling of Thy Name And in their wicked hearts designe Hir glories quite to undermine 8.

We see no Signe nor Miracle No Prophet have who can foretell Not one hath knowledge to forecast How long these miseries shall last 10. O God! still shall the foe blaspheme And make Thy Name dishonours theme 11. Thy vengefull hand no longer hide But stretch it forth to strike their pride 12. For God is my all pow'rfull King From whom earths help safety spring 13. Thou did'st restraine the rising tide And with Thy strength the Sea divide Thou brak'st th' Aegyptian Dragons head And left'st him on the waters dead 14. Leviathan that sports the flood Thou gavest for Thy peoples food 15. Thou from the rock mad'st fountaines flow And swelling Seas dry land to grow 16. Thine is the day the Suns faire light Thine are the courses of the night 17. The borders which the earth confine Are set and bounded by Thy line The Summers heat and winters cold From Thee their yearly seasons hold 18 Remember Lord Thy House defil'd Thy Name by blasphemies revil'd 19 O give not up Thy Turtles life A spoile to adversaries strife Let not Thy Congregation mourne Reproach'd by Them of Thee forlorne 20. Look on the Covenant and see Earth dark'ned by their crueltie 21. Let not th' opprest returne with shame But let the needy praise Thy Name 22.

The earth with hir inhabitants Through feare dissolves and faints Yet of hir loose declining frame The Pillars I sustain 4. I said unto the foolish men Deale not so madly then And unto those Gods precepts scorne Exalt not you the horne 5. Lift not your selves against His check Nor speak with a stiffe neck 6. Promotion comes not from the east Nor South nor from the West 7. But God as Judge our fortune guides Our lot of life divides He one man lifts unto the Crowne And puts another downe 8. He holds a cup whose wine is red Full mixt and tempered For wicked ones the dreg and lee Wrong out to drink shall be 9. I will in Songs of praise declare The God of Iacobs care 10.

Thou of more honour art then they Who rove upon the Hills of prey 5. For They whose pride did us embroile Are now themselves become a spoile A lasting sleep shuts up their eyes And all their strength in weaknes dyes 6. At Thy rebuke the barbed horse And armed Chariots loose their force 7. Thou Lord art fear'd who may withstand The fury of Thy pow'rfull hand 8. From Heaven we Thy Judgments heard The trembling earth was still and fear'd 9. When God the meek and humble saves But gives the proud untimely graves 10.

Then Phinchas aveng'd th' offence And staid the mortall pestilence 31. Which all successions held a seale Of righteousnes and holy zeale 32. Then at the waters where they strove They did againe His anger move Where it so ill with Moses went He suffer'd in their punishment 33. Because his spirit meek and mild Provoked was whilst they revil'd And discontented for their sake Some unadvised language spake 34. The sinfull Nations of the Land They not destroy'd at Gods command 35. But learn'd their rites with heathens mixt 36. Ensnar'd while on their Idols fixt 37. As gifts to Divels offered Their Sonnes and daughters blood they shed 38. Whose guiltless lives to Idols slaine Did all the Land of Canaan staine 39. Thus they defil'd a whoring went In impious works themselves invent 40. Therefore the Lords enkindled rage Abhorred His own heritage 41. He gave Them up to Heathen pow'rs Their haters made Their conquerours 42. Opprest they were by foes subdu'd 43. Yet sav'd as oft their sins renew'd 44 But hearing their afflicted Cry He pitty'd their calamity 45. He most compassionate and kind His Covenant recall'd to mind And in his mercy did repent The sharpnes of their punishment 46. He made ev'n those with pity look Who Them before had captives took 47. Save us O Lord our God! protect And from the Heathen us collect To thank thy Name through all our daies And triumph in Thy mercies praise 48. O let the God of Israel Be blest whose benefits excell To Him be praises endless pay'd And let Amen by all be say'd PSAL. CVII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. O Thank the goodnes of our God Whose mercy knowes no period 2. Let Israel confess His hands 3. Have gather'd them from forraigne lands From North and South East and West 4. Where they no City had to rest But in the wildernes disperst 5. With hunger pin'd and faint with thirst 6. Then they their Cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 7. He them directed in his way To find a City for their stay 8. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodness doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the sons of men 9. The longing soul He satiates still The hungry doth with goodness fill 10. Who sit in darkness and death's shade In iron and affliction lay'd 11. Because 'gainst God they did rebell And from His words
1. YE servants of the Lord Bless Him with one accord You in His House who nightly wait His praises due relate 2.

O praise His goodness bless His Name From whom all mercies came 4. He Iacob chose and on his race Did all His treasure place 5. Our God is great and in His deeds All other Gods exceeds 6. In Heav'n or earth or deepest Seas He acts what ere He please 7. He makes from earth the vapours rise Which cloud the dark'ned skies From whence He raines and light'ning flings And winds there treasur'd brings 8. He man and beast in Egypt smote 9. And plagues on Pharaoh brought 10. His arme did vanquish Nations great And mighty Kings defeat 11. Sihon and Og and Canaan fell 12. In lot to Israel 13. Therefore Thy pow'rfull Name O Lord Succession shall record 14. Thy iudgments are on sinners bent But tow'rds Thine owne relent 15. The Gods in Heathen Temples sought Are gold and silver wrought 16. Speechless they be and blind and deaf 17. Nor in their mouths have breath 18. Like them the Makers are and those Who trust in Them repose 19. His praise O ye from Iacob spring O house of Aaron sing 20. O house of Levi who profess His feare your Maker bless 21. From Sion let your blessings sound Your thankfull Songs abound Praise ye the Lord His mercies tell Who doth in Salem dwell PSAL. CXXXVI To the usuall Tune As Psalme 148. 1. GIve thanks unto the Lord Who doth all good afford 2. The God of Gods who swaies 3. Those Lords whom earth obeyes 4. Who hath alone Great wonders done His mercy sure Doth still endure 5. To Him who Heavens made 6. Earth 'bove the waters lay'd 7. To Him who form'd great lights To rule our daies and nights 8. The Sun at noone The Stars and Moone 9. Whose mercy sure Doth still endure 10. Who Egypts first-borne smote 11. 12. And Iacob from them brought 13. The Red Sea parted was 14. For Israel to pass 15. But Pharaoh's host In it was lost His mercy sure Doth still endure 16. Who His through desarts led 17 18. Great Kings discomfited 19 Sihon the Amorite 20. And Og with Bashan's might 21. And gave their land 22. To Iacob's hand His mercy sure Doth still endure 23. Who our low state esteem'd 24. And from our foes redeem'd 25. Who to all flesh gives food His creatures fills with good 26. Your thanks O bring To Heavens King Whose mercy sure Doth still endure PSAL. CXXXVII Sing this as Psalme 119. 1. BY Babylons swift streames we sate Sad and disconsolate The teares as fast ran from our ey For Sions memory 2. Our harps untuned and unstrung Upon the Willowes hung 3. When those who did us captive bring Bid us in scorne to sing They who us spoil'd with sword and fire Did mirth of us require Sing us say'd They one of the Songs To Sion which belongs 4. But how shall we sing the Lords Song His Enemies among Or tune His Notes in strangers Land That cannot understand 5. O deare Ierusalem when I Forsake thy memory May my skill faile my right hand let Her cunning quite forget 6. Cleave to the roof O may my tongue When I not mourne thy wrong Or if I not preferr thy mirth Above all joyes on earth 7. In thy remembrance Lord retaine Proud Edoms fierce disdaine Who 'gainst Ierusalem did cry Mocking hir misery Now she is fall'n nere may our eyes Againe behold hir rise Down with it their rude clamours sound Rase it ev'n to the ground 8. O Babylon which did'st us wast Thy self our woes must tast And in thy finall ruin we Sions revenge shall see Happy are They who to requite The measure of thy spight 9. Without all pitty 'gainst the stones Shall dash thy little ones PSAL. CXXXVIII 1. I Thee will praise with my whole heart My thankfull hymnes impart Before the Gods of Earth I 'le sing My praise to Heaven's King 2. I towards Thy Temple worship will And praises utter still Thy word and Name shall loudly sound Whose love and truth abound 3. When in my plaints to Thee I cry'd Thy love as soon reply'd My fainting spirit was renew'd With strength my soule endu'd 4. The Kings of earth Thy praise shall beare When they Thy words do heare 5. They in the waies of God shall sing The glory of their King 6. For though the Lord be very high Yet He cast's downe His eye The meek and lowly He respects But all the proud neglects 7. Though I in mid'st of trouble live Yet Thou wilt me revive Thy stretch'd out hand my wrathfull foes To ruin shall expose 8. The Lord my comforts will assure By mercyes which endure Cease not of me regard to take Nor Thine own works forsake PSAL. CXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. LOrd thou hast throughly searched me I open am and know'n to Thee 2. My sitting downe and my up-rise Are not concealed from Thine eyes Thou understand'st my distant thought Ere it to forme my self had brought 3. Thou circlest in my path and bed And hast my waies discovered 4. Thou hear'st each whisper from my tongue And ere 't was utter'd knew'st it long 5 By Thee I fashion'd am and made Thy hand each part in order lay'd 6. Yet can I not the knowledge gaine How I this being did attaine Which doth in wonder so excell 'T is easier to admire then tell 7. How shall I from Thy spirit fly Or Thy all present pow'r deny 8. If I climbe Heav'n 't is Thine own Shere If stoop to Hell lo Thou art there 9. If borne upon the mornings wing Far as the Sea doth swell or spring 10. Thy Right hand shall protect and lead Where ere my weary footsteps tread 11. If I pretend the darknes shall Upon me like a cov'ring fall Those heavy fogs those mists of night Will quickly cleare and turne to light 12. The thickest shade or blackest cloud Can nothing from thy knowledg shrow'd For darkness doth like Noon-tide shine Light'ned by brighter beams of Thine 13. My reines are Thine Thou mad'st the womb My bodies cloathing to become 14. I will give thanks to Thee O Lord Who was enlived by Thy word With awfull art and wond'rous forme Thou did'st Thy workmanship adorne My soule Their marvels must confess And for Thy favours daily bless 15. Though I was fashion'd in the dark Too secretly for man to mark There is no curious joynt or bone But was to Thy inspection know'n 16. Thou did'st upon my substance look And wrot'st each member in Thy book Thou saw'st how
