But on Thy God O Israel trust He only is Thy help and shield O house of Aaron flee to Him that 's Just For He is Thine and help will yield All you who fear th' Almighty Lord Upon Him trust and flee unto His Word For He 's your help and He will be your shield And though you flee it is to gain the field VI. The Lord has mindful of us been And He will all Our joyes restore The house of Israel have His blessing seen And He will bless them more and more The house of Aaron He will bless And all who fear Him shall by ' His love encrease 'Twixt rich and poor He do's no difference know But by His blessing both in numbers grow VII Bless'd of that God who all things made Both Earth and Sea and glorious Heaven High Heav'n's His seat and of Him is afraid But He to Man the Earth has given 'T is there that we admire His Wayes Before the grave shut us up and His Praise There will we bless the God in whom we live And as He life to us Him praises give Hallelujah Psalm CXVI Delexi quoniam exaudivit c. I. I Love Thee Lord with my whole heart For Thou dost my petitions hear Because Thou to me hast inclin'd Thine ear And thus propitious to Thy servant art With new requests I 'll ever prove Thee And shew by that I love Thee II. The pains of death enclos'd me round Grief held my heart and teares my eyes My grave stood open and death thence did rise Trouble and Horror on all sides I found Death it self waited underneath Above the pains of Death III. Yet to the Lord I cry'd and said My God Thy help I now implore Deliver me as Thou hast done before When in my trouble I unto Thee pray'd Though I deserv'd to be deni'd Yet to the Lord I cry'd IV. To wrath He 's slow abounds in love Our sins most ready to forgive The Innocent upon His bounty live In Him they live who reigns their God above He help'd me when I was brought low For He to wrath is slow V. Then to Thy rest my Soul return For God has kindly dealt with Thee Thy feet from sliding life from death set free Nor shall Thy failing eyes in sorrow mourn Thy dayes to praise Him are increas'd Return Soul to Thy rest VI. Lord I believe and therefore speak I knew I should Thy Mercy praise Though when afflicted and in rugged wayes One sorrow did my heart and silence break Then I all flesh the ly did give And yet Lord I believe VII What shall I bring and yield the Lord For all His Favours shown to me A thankful heart my sacrifice shall be I 'll praise Him and rely upon His Word New songs of thanks I 'll to Him sing And this at least will bring VIII My Vowes which in distress I made Before His People will I pay His People shall rejoice that solemn day Whilst those who are His En'mies be afraid When He His plagues upon them throws And do's accept My Vowes IX Dear in His sight His servants are He will Himself repay their wrong Though in forbearing He may seem too long It is more deep to strike and not to spare Nor is the death of the upright Less pretious in His sight X. Lord I am Thine and thine will be Thy Handmaids Son whom Thou did'st save My God Himself a ransome for me gave And to a nobler service set me free Thou brake'st my bonds and made'st me mine And now Lord I am Thine XI This will I bring and yield the Lord For all His Favours shown to me A thankful heart my sacrifice shall be I 'll praise Him and rely upon His Word New songs of thanks I 'll to Him sing And this at least will bring XII My Vowes which in distress I made Before His People will I pay His People shall rejoice that solemn day And where I made them there shall see them pai'd Within the Courts of the Lord's House There will I pay my Vowes Hallelujah Psalm CXVII Laudate Dominum Omnes c. I. ALL you who to the Lord your Beings ow All Nations with His blessings crown'd All people through the World renown'd Sing praises to that God who made you so II. To God whose Mercy do's to all extend Is great to us and good to you And with His Truth do's still renew But like Himself knowes neither bound nor end Hallelujah Psalm CXVIII Confitemini Domino quoniam c. I. TO God's Almighty Name sing praise And you who know how good He is Resign to Him what 's truely His And Arches of His own great Mercies raise For like His Word they have been sure And to Eternity endure II. Israel the great Jehova's choice Who all His fearful Works have seen Who His great Care have alwayes been Let Israel now confess with thankful voice His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure III. Let those who by their place attend And at His Altar daily wait Their own experiences relate Sing as they see the sacred flame ascend His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure IV. And to advance the Blessed King Let all the Righteous with them join And in a service thus Divine Bear their part too and in the Chorus sing His Mercies have been ever sure And to Eternity endure V. To God on high for help I cri'd Who from His Temple answer'd me Both heard my prayers and set me free The Lord of Host Himself was on my side I will not fear what man can do Since I 've a God to flee unto VI. With those who help'd me He was seen His Presence brought my greatest aid Nothing shall make me now afraid He 'll be my sword who has my Buckler been And when my Foes shall be o'rethrowne I 'll boast of what His hand has done VII Those who their Care on God do cast And know no other will but His Of sure recruits shall never miss But as a Rock i' th' midst of stormes stand fast On God 't is more secure to trust Than man who must return to dust VIII He never yet did any fail Most sure when most reli'd upon And though His Power subscribes to none He lets weak prayers o're Heav'n and Him prevail On God 't is more secure to trust Than Princes who must turn to dust IX Let Barbarous Nations girt me round And for my ruine all engage My trust is plac'd above their rage And stands unshaken on the higher ground For on the Lord of Hosts I 'll call And in His Name destroy them all X. Round let them compass me and round And for my ruine all engage My Trust is plac'd above their rage And stands unshaken on the higher ground For on the Lord of Hosts I 'll call And in His Name destroy them all XI Let them
my Prayer Least if Thou art now Seas are high The Floods away my confidence should bear And I beswallow'd up by the next wave My God be not a Rock to hear though Thou art one to save II. The voyce of my Petitions hear When I for help to Thee shall cry Let my hands feel that Thou art near Though I unable am Thy Face to spy Hear me when tow'rds Thy Oracle I pray And as I thither look be pleas'd to cast one glance this way III. Number me not with the Unjust And those who study to do wrong On whom if any poor man trust Their heart is warr though peace be in their tongue Let equal punishments pursue their sin And may their just rewards be as their base deserts have been IV. They never mind what Thou hast done Nor what Thy mighty hands can do What wonders Thou hast for me shown And for me wilt continue still to show But they shall see them and consum'd with pain Into the lowest pit descend to view it thence more plain V. Blest be that God who bow'd His ear To those requests I to Him made He is my shield my strength my spear And was my help when I unto Him pray'd On Him I trusted and in Him rejoyce My Heart that 's gone before to Heav'n I 'l follow with my Voice VI. He is their Shield His strength their Spear Who on Him for those Arms depend The Lords Anointed need not fear For God who is His King supplies will send O save the People who indeed are Thine Feed them and Lord lift up their head as Thou hast rais'd up mine Psalm XXIX Afferte Domino Filii Dei c. I. YOu whom your birth for Scepters has design'd Whom God has blest with wealth to guard your birth From Sons has made you Lords of th' Earth And on yours stampt the Portraict of His minde Your Scepters to Him yield they are His due Who only to serve Him first gave them You. II. He is your King and though you reign below You are but Vassals to His Throne above Your fear do's your dependance prove And when He speaks before Him you all bow When from above He thunders all your Powers Scatter like Clouds and melt away in showers III. He thunders from above and with the noyse Whether they will or no makes Seas to hear For at His Word they all croud near Exalted up to Heav'n by His great Voyce A voyce which sure is full of Majesty When sluggish Seas are by it rais'd so high IV. Affrighted Libanus begins to heave Like his own Cedars trembles they all quake Their roots as much as branches shake And both look which should first the other leave Like a young heifer Syrian starts away But do's through fear what that is wont at play V. From Heav'n it came a Fire before it went Consuming Fire behinde brought up the rear That all might see as well as hear And by the Message know from whom 't was sent Kades did at the Clap bow down his head And whom all fear'd his frighted Lions fled VI. The fearfull Hinde hearing the thunder roar Cast her untimely Calf with speed to fly And thinking by this shot to dy Forgot the Dogs her only dread before The Lightning made the gloomy Forest bright And what the Sun could not display'd at night VII The whole World is Gods Temple all things bow Before His Footstool and recount His praise All in their place His glory raise And unto man by theirs his duty show Lightning and Thunder to serve Him contend And His great charge proclaim to th' Earths wide end VIII Upon the Floods He sits Floods to Him bring Their gifts and humbly at his feet lay down Their Spoyls as Customs to His Crown And worship Him as their puissant King He stills their noyse and God who raging Seas Stills with a word shall give His people Peace Psalm XXX Exaltabo te Domine c. I. MY God I will to Thee give praise Because Thou hast exalted me Thou from the grave my life did'st raise And now my Song shall honour Thee When against me my foes did come And shar'd the prey and in their minds led home Their Captives Thou appeard'st and would'st not let them overcome II. 'T was then that to my God I cri'd And He who wounded made me whole All other helps which I had try'd Did but afflict not ease my Soul Even then He me did keep alive My ransom'd life did from the grave reprieve And a new Lease when I had forfeited the old did give III. O ye His Saints sing to His Name His Holiness with thanks record Thence take new fewel to your flame Sing Holiness unto the Lord His wrath a moment may remain But love shall make the storm a calm again And give a life as free from danger as it is from pain IV. Trouble and grief may last all night And to its dismal shade add theirs But when the morning brings the light Darkness shall scatter and my fears And as the Sun which guilds the day Out from the briny Ocean makes his way My Sun which breaks through tears shall brighter shine and look more gay V. Fixt on my Throne with mercy crown'd Unmov'd like some huge Rock I stood Me thoughts with pleasure I look'd round And saw my feet kiss'd by the flood Sure now I 'm past all fear I said Thy favour Lord my Rock so strong had made Others may well of me but I of none can be afraid VI. But as I thus express'd my pride Forgetting Him who made me so Thou Lord Thy face didst from me hide And then I came my self to know Trouble and pain no certain ground Which way so e're I look'd new griefs I found And the same floods which kiss'd my feet before my head surround VIII Then to Thee Lord again I cry'd What profit is there in my blood If in the pit I must abide Can Thy praise there be understood Shall the grave praise Thee or declare Thy Truth and Mercy what their glories are The grave which is as senseless as the dust that 's buryed there VIII Hear me O God and mercy show Unto my Help Thy self come down My God has heard me and I know Bv this He will His servant own To laughter He has turn'd my tears With gales of joy has blown away my fears And He who mourn'd now a Triumphant Robe and Laurel wears IX For this I will Thy praises sing And never in them silent be My glory shall its Anthem bring And faint not while 't is praising Thee Thy Mighty Power the ground shall give My noblest skill to manage it shall strive And when I cease my God to praise Thee let me cease to live Psalm XXXI In te Domine sper avi non confundar c. I. THou art my hope O God in whom I trust Let not my confidence procure me shame But save me in Thy Truth for
to be ador'd in fight Who thus canst arm Thy self with light But Lord what are Thy Hands if thus Thou kill'st at sight IV. When from above Thou mak'st Thy voice be heard The Sea stands still and Earth do's shake Even Heav'n it self unloos'd do's quake God thundred from above and they all fear'd The Clouds to make Him way asunder rent An hideous shriek the Mountains sent When God to judge the Meek by them in person went V. Nor do these only Lord Thy Power declare But the fierce wrath of Wicked Man Which Thou dost punish or restrain Whence to get praise amongst thy Wonders are Vow to the Lord and what you vow see pai'd For Vows are debts when once they ' are made And none deserves your praise like Him to whom you prai'd VI. Adore Him all ye lands and tongues around And to Our God your praises sing To Him alone your presents bring And thus with fear seek Him whom Wee have found With God the greatest Kings cannot compare They Crowns but at His pleasure wear And when He Frowns they and their Honours turn to air Psalm LXXVII Voce mea ad Dominum c. I. IN my great trouble to the Lord I cried I cri'd aloud And He was pleas'd to hear And when the night His Face did hide With stretch'd out hands I felt it He was near I prai'd and was resolv'd to pray Refus'd all Comfort but my tears Whose streames I thought my Feavour might allay And as they forc't my heart for passage move His Ears II. Sometimes in groans sometimes in Words I pray'd And fluent as my griefs my sorrows spake But suddenly my speech was stay'd And interrupting sights its order brake And then I could nor speak nor sleep Thou Lord didst hold my eyes and tongue Only my mind its even frame did keep And with weak hands and muttering lips became more strong III. Then of Thy Wonders did I meditate Our Fathers dayes and what their age did see How Thou upheld'st the Tottering State And in their troubles mad'st them trust in Thee Fresh to my mind then came a Song Which heretofore I did reherse An Anthem which had been forgotten long Where my Soul with me joyn'd and thus began the Verse IV. And can it be that God will thus reject Be always angry and ne'r pleas'd again Will He His Flock no more protect But let us ever as this day complain Has He forgotten to be good Or shall His Promise ever cease Who has His Pleasure or His Power withstood That where He shuts up Warr He should imprison Peace V. Hold Soul I said 't is Thy infirmity Makes Thee thus judge of God whose Will shall stand Immovable as it is High Where Thou Thy wings should'st guide to his right Hand Of that think with me and His Power The Wondrous Works which He has done They shall my talk and study be each hour To shew Our children what Our Fathers Us have shown VI. Thy Wayes O God are far above my sight And where Thou hid'st Thy self in Heav'n lie hid Ther 's none like Thee so full of might Whose Power I fear by what Thy hand once did When from above Thou mad'st it bare Israel and Josephs Seed to save When their Redemption did Thy strength declare And Egypt took the Chain to be her Captives slave VII The Waters saw Thee and the Waters fled The Depths were troubled and ran back for fear The Clouds rain'd Seas Heav'n Darkness spread From whence there came a voyce which rocks did tear Th' Earth trembled and the Mountains shook Egypt it self abhor'd the light Which from the flashes came and horror strook More terrible than when three days they felt their night VIII Thou for Thy People didst prepare the way And through those Floods a safe retreat they have Which Thou Thy Glory to display Resolvd'st should after be proud Pharaohs grave Along they went by Thy Command Who of the Sacred Flock took'st Care Moses and Aaron only shew'd Thy Hand For the Great Shepherd Thou and they Thy Heards-men were Psalm LXXVIII Attendite Populus meus c. I. ISrael Gods own Inheritance draw near And what He did to make Thee so now hear Of Ages long since past and armes I sing And to Thy dayes their ancient glories bring Acts which with sound belief would never stand But that all done by the Almighty Hand Our Fathers witness to their Truth did bear And what we hear with wonder saw with fear They told them Us that we might publish down To Childrens Children how His Power was known Such was His charge that late Posterity And Generations which should after be People as yet unborn might know His Wayes And what they learnt their children teach His Prayse That they in Him their Hope might alwayes place His statutes keep and alwayes seek His Face Never forget His Works but still improve His former Favours and His present love That like their Fathers they rebel no more Unless they 'd feel the Wrath their Fathers bore Base stubborn Nation who their God withstood Most cross to Him who alwayes did them good His Wrath this kindled first then made it burn Th' enraged fire on Ephraims Tribe did turn Ephraim which durst the stoutest Foe assail And never of the certain conquest fail But us'd to Come and See and so Prevail So terrible His bow so sure his hand Th' unerring shaft did death at will command Ephraim turn'd back but strove in vain to flie By His own shafts o'retook did wounded lie Worthy thus signally in Warr to fall Whom Peace with all Her Charms could ne'r recall The law they brake that Covenant which they took And without cause that and their God forsook Forgot His Works and their own Worthy Stemm Their Fathers Trust and what He did for them Marvellous things He did in Pharaohs land Zoan still witness of His Plagues do's stand When Israel saw His Wonders all about How He preserv'd them there and brought them out When He no Common Road did make them keep But like His Own their wayes were in the Deep The Deep amaz'd stood up as they pass'd o're Admir'd their suddain fix'd-ness and new shore How in a moment they were rais'd so high And fell not when they saw no storm was nigh By day a Cloud did their great journies hide At night a Sacred Flame the Host did guide Before them pass'd and where their passage lay Not only shew'd but also made their Way Hard Rocks as they went by pierc'd through did groan That fire which dri'd the Deep did melt the stone Out gusht new streams so constant and so strong They made their Channels as they ran along Yet still they sinn'd and tempted Him the more Lack'd meat who only Water begg'd before Nor did they closely think but speak their Sins And with vile Mouth the Murmurer thus begins Can He give Bread too sure if He be God That may as well as streams obey
One Be joyn'd with them who set up mischief by a Law Shall Justice and Oppression share the Throne Or rapine to its party conquer'd virtue draw Against the Just together to conspire And doom the Innocent and guilty to one fire IX But God's my help the Rock whereto I fly My Fortress and high Tower where darts in vain are sent Their feathers cannot bear them up so high But on the Caster they shall turn in punishment And falling thus in wrath be so hurl'd down That wounded every man shall say the Dart's his Own Psalm XCV Venite exultemus Domino c. I. COme let us sing unto the Lord And all His deeds with thankfulness record Unto Our God Come let us sing And to His Courts with shouts Our Presents bring He is Our Rock to Him Our Verse we 'll raise And He who heard Our Prayers shall now attend Our Praise II. Great is Our God and rules o're all Above all gods who at His Footstool fall The Earth is His and all its Deeps His Word the Hills on their Foundation keeps He made the Sea and bounded it with Sand And bid the heavy earth above the waters stand III. Come let us worship and fall down And as we ought Our Great Creator own He is Our God His Flock we are The Sheep of 's hand the People of his Court Look how He calls look how He bends His ear Thus by inclining His to see if Ours will hear IV. To day let 's hear nor be like them Who in the desert did His Power contemn That hardened there did God provoke And though He still kept His their Covenant's broke 'T was then saies God they prov'd and tempted me When all around I had my Wonders made them see V. Forty years long their sins I bore And from destroying them as long forbore Fond People said I thus to stray And when I shew'd it not to know my way Therefore in wrath I did against them swear Since they despis'd my Rest they never should come there Psalm XCVI Cantate Domino Canticum c. I. NEw Songs of Praise to the Almighty sing And to Him let the World their Offerings bring Sing to Our God and bless His Holy Name From day to day His Acts declare How wondrous and how great they are And let the Nations joyn to celebrate His Fame II. Great is the Lord and worthy of all Praise Above the Trophys we can to Him raise No Pow'r like His we can adore or fear For those to whom the Gentiles bow Are Idols and an empty show But He made Heav'n and all the Hosts which serve Him there III. Honour and Majesty attend His Throne Beauty and Strength His Temple 's built upon Therefore to Him alone ye People bow His Praise with daily thanks renew Restore to Him what is His due And at His Altar pay what there you first did vow IV. Let the Earth tremble and its Kingdoms fear And all unto the Mighty Word give ear Among the Heathen say That God do's reign Who made the World and bid it stand Till He shall judge it whose Command To its first Nothing shall return it back again V. Be glad O Heav'ns and Thou O Earth rejoyce And to your Consort take the Seas Deep Voice Let the huge Sea in dancing billows rise And though confin'd within its Shore By Sands which barr the Mighty Door Send up to Heav'n its shouts and force the yielding Skyes VI. Let joyfull Songs be heard in every Plain And Hills reflect the Voices Face again Then let the Trees the Glories of the Wood In mutual Murmurs all conspire And joyn with Birds to fill the Quire As if like Men they Parts and Musick understood VII At their Own Numbers let them come away And where their God shall pass lead on the way He comes But who His Presence can abide That the Great Judge of all shall be Yet who would not His Entrance see When He with equal Justice shall each cause decide Psalm XCVII Dominus regnavit exultet Terra c. THe Lord do's reign let the whole Earth rejoyce The Isles be glad and lift on high their voice Louder than Seas which all around them roar And with their shouts shake Heav'n and rend the Shore In the thick darkness God His Glory shrouds And o're His Brightness throws a veil of clouds Justice and Righteousness uphold His Throne And their firm Basis it do's rest upon In vain for Him their Toils His Enemies lay That Fire consumes them which prepares His Way For on the Nations He His Lightning threw And o're the World the swift-wing'd Terrour flew The Earth beheld it and began to fear The Hills complain'd that Heav'n approach'd too near And melted with the heat like Wax flow'd down Whilst in the Plains ran streams of burning Stone At the Almighty Presence they did flow Whose breath the Fire His eye had made did blow The Heav'ns His Justice and His Power declare And to His Truth the Earth do's witness bear May then all perish who to Idols bow And boast of Gods which they make only so Worship Him all ye Gods Angels fall down And at His Feet cast every One His Crown Sion with joy shall hear Jerusalem Shall send her Daughters to improve the Theam For He above all Gods is rais'd so high To Him we only by Our Praise can fly Praise Him ye Righteous who advanc't above Would have you thus express and send your Love Your Love upon Himself alone bestow And Hatred only to what 's evil show So with deliverance He shall surely come And having here preserv'd you take you home To Heav'n in whose large fields refined Light Sown for the Just looks against Harvest white Harvests which as they reap the Righteous sing And with Eternal shoutings carry in Be glad ye Righteous and in God rejoyce For what His hands have done deserves your Voice Psalm XCVIII Cantate Domino Canticum novum c.

Praise Him O World and fear His Mighty Name From whence all that at which Thou wondrest came Call all Thy forces up the Song to raise With Trumpets and with Harps rejoice The Sackbut Clarion and the voice And with shrill Cornets up to Heav'n send all Thy praise IV.

it broken there in peices lay Gods secret path was Israels Great High Way Through which as through the Wilderness they pass Only these sands were wall'd about with glass Thus from their Enemies He set them free Whilst the admiring waves stood up to see But when the sacred Army was gon o're The seas no longer own'd their new made shore But o're it leapt as friends return'd to greet And in their old embraces hast to meet Th' Egyptian Troops which scattred lay between And thought to tell at home what they had seen Swift as that thought were buried in the waves And not one left to shew their empty Graves Then Israel fear'd His Word and sang His Praise But soon forgot that and His Wondrous wayes Did in the Wilderness His Power distrust And for full Tables in the Desert lust He gave it them but therewith leaness sent Into their very Souls the Poyson went Next against Moses they in tumults rise And Aaron the Almightys choyce despise But God Himself from Heaven His Choice approv'd And from His sight the Murmurers remov'd The Sea before the Earth do's now obey And frighted at His presence ran away Loosned its hold and as apart it fell Let Dathan and Abiran quick to Hell And those who to the Priesthood did aspire And off'red Incense were consum'd by Fire At Horeb they had griev'd him long before When there they did their molton god adore At Horeb where they that great Voice did hear Which fill'd the most rebellious breast with fear And strook the Soul as it surpriz'd the Eare. Thus to an Ox their glory they compare And these cry they Thy Gods O Israel are Not because they the true one did not know But their old love to Egypt thus would show Forgetting what in Egypt He had done Both for their Nations honour and His own And all His Wonders in the Mighty Deep Making a Causey there that they their way might keep Wherefore about destroying them He spake And that He Moses a great Name would make Moses who in the breach before Him stood And would have given His Own to save their blood That pass'd the Happy Canaan they contemn But more the God who promis'd it to them To Egypt they again had rather go Than serve new Masters whom they did not know Therefore in wrath He rais'd His vengefull Hand To Strike and swear they should not see the Land And that all those who fell not by His own Should by their En'mies swords be overthrown Sure they will try it and to Peor turn'd Before dumb Idols ate and Incense burn'd Thus were they only constant in their sin And knew no measure till the Plague brake in Had some new solly to enflame His Ire And set the Mine He lay'd so deep a fire Till Phineas stood up and with dextrous skill Three En'mies at one happy blow did kill Zimri and Cosbi and the Plague did stay Which weltring in their gore and breathless lay An Act whose Memory God Himself would save And for reward to His House the Priest-hood gave Another time at Meriba they strove And their meek Guide did with their murmurings prove Full ill it went with Moses for their sake Who unadvis'dly in His Passion spake And with them both in sin and judgement did partake The Nations of which God in charge did give Should be destroy'd they were resolv'd should live And come to Canaan to preserve their seed Were mingled with them and did by them breed Learn'd all their works their Idols did adore Curs'd to Them now though for their sakes before Idols that Devils were yet unto whom All smear'd they in their Childrens blood must come No other Sacrifice but that will please Nor any blood but the Innocent appease Their childrens blood with which their Gods were stain'd They and their Gods and with their own the land Thus justly plagu'd for their impiety That Gods of their own making should so cruel bee This blew the Heav'nly wrath up to a Flame Turn'd love to hatred Mercy rage became Up to the Heathen He His People gave And Israel in His own land was a slave Those who most hated them for Lords did reign And those they conquer'd conquer'd them again When God delivered them they yet sinn'd more Tempting new plagues they never felt before Yet to their cry He gently bow'd His Ear And though they would not Him their grones did hear According to His Cov'nant Mercy sent And taught them by His oft once to Repent Made their proud Lords resent their Miseries And shew less cruel hands and more indulgent eyes Save us O God and bring Thy Captives home That we with prayse may to Thy Temple come To Israels King let thanks be ever pay'd And let Amen by all the World be say'd Hallelujah The end of the Fourth Book of Psalms THE FIFTH BOOK OF PSALMS Psalm CVII Confitemini Domino quoniam c.

Let His Redeem'd say so that Israel whom Their Enemys Captive led but He brought home Then brought them home when from the farthest East They were dispers'd and scattred to the West When North and South their weary steps did know But they nor where they went nor where to go Now in the Desart an untrodden way Where they could hardly pass yet durst not stay Where they no City found and none to tell Which road to take or in what Place to dwell Hungry and thirsty doubtful in their mind Scarce knowing what they sought or what they 'd wish to find Chorus Minor Then to the Lord in their distress they cry'd They cry'd aloud and He did hear And though His Face He seem'd to hide By His great Hand declar'd that He was near For when in vain they had look'd round about And saw no help tow'rds Him they look'd were brought out Versus Respondens He led them forth Himself by the right way Their passage made as their great journey lay And City founded for them and did tell Not only where but made them in it dwell Chorus Omnium Let all the Earth th' Eternal Bounty praise And talk of all that He has done How Truth and Mercy are His wayes To the whole World as well as to His Own For to the longing Soul He grants His Will And with that Goodness which He is do's th' hungry fill Versus II. Those who in darkness and in Horror sit And so near death 't is in the shade of it Bound in Affliction and in heavy chaines In prison where there noyse and silence reignes Feeling their sins in all they suffer there Whose weight more rings â—han th' Irons which they bear Their hearts sink lower than
