So that to God I thus did pray O take me not as yet away Nor cast me off from this lifes stage In prime of youth and mid'st of age For though My dayes be few and fraile Thy yeares O God will never faile 25. Thou Lord hast earth's foundation lay'd And by Thy hand the Heav'ns were made They all shall perish and decay And in their time consume away Like to a garment when grow'n old They shall nor use nor motion hold But though the world and they must fall Thy Being is perpetuall 27. Yea as a vesture worne and chang'd Is from it's gloss and forme estrang'd So Shalt Thou change this massy frame Yet still Thy selfe abide the same 28. And like Thy selfe from changes freed Thou wilt prolong Thy servants seed Whose children shall remaine with Thee And in Thy sight establisht be PSAL. CIII As Psalme 51. 1. MY Soul thy best devotion raise To bless the Lord and sing His praise 2. O never unremembred be The benefits He powr'd on thee 3. Whose pardon doth all sins release And keep thy body from disease 4. Who thee redeem'd to death cast downe And doth thy life with mercies crowne 5. Who with good things shall fill thy mouth And eagle-like renew thy youth 6. He by right judgment hath redrest All such as are by wrong opprest 7. His wayes have know'n to Moses been The Israelites His works have seen 8. All which His will and nature shew To mercy swift to vengeance slow 9. He will not alwayes with us chide Nor let His anger long abide 10. Nor deales according to our sin Nor have our crimes rewarded bin 11. For high as Heav'n is earth above So large so boundless is his love 12. Removing all our sins as far As East and West divided are 13. Yea like a Father 's to his Son To us is his compassion 14 He knowes our frame too weak to trust Remembring that we are but dust 15. The daies of man like to the grass Or fading flow'r to nothing pass 16. Which blow'n and shaken by the wind Leave neither place nor print behind 17. His goodnes though confirm'd and sure To childrens children doth endure 18. Ev'n unto such whose cleare intents Walk after His Commandements 19. The Lord in heav'n prepares His throne And governs all the world alone O therefore bless that pow'rfull Lord Who made and rules us by His word 20. Ye Angels that in strength excell And never 'gainst His word rebell 21. Ye winged Ministers who still Prepared are to act His will Ye Heav'nly hosts and creatures all 22.

Thy greatnesse all confess Whom Majesty and honour vest 2. In robes of Light eternall drest He Heaven makes his Canopy 3. His chambers in the waters ly His Chariot is the cloudy storme And on the wings of wind is borne 4. He Spirits makes His Angels quire His Ministers a flaming fire 5. He so did earth's foundations cast It might remaine for ever fast 6. Then cloath'd it with the spatious deep Whose wave outswells the mountaines steep 7. At Thy rebuke the waters fled And hid their thunder-frighted head 8. They from the mountaines streaming flow And downe into the Vallies go Then to their liquid center hast Where their collected floods are cast 9. These in the Ocean met and joyn'd Thou hast within a bank confin'd Not suff'ring them to pass their bound Least earth by their excess be drown'd 10. He from the hills his Christall springs Down running to the vallies brings 11. Which drink supply and coolnes yield To thirsting beasts throughout the field 12. By them the fowles of heaven rest And singing in their branches nest 13. He waters from his clouds the Hills The teeming earth with plenty fills 14. He grass for Cattle doth produce And every Herbe for humane use That so He may His creatures feed And from the earth supply their need 15. He makes the clusters of the vine To glad the Sons of men with wine He oyle to cheere the face imparts And bread the strength'ner of their hearts Second Part. 16. The trees which God for fruit decreed Nor sap nor moyst'ning vertue need The lofty Cedars by His hand In Lebanon emplanted stand 17. Unto the birds these shelter yield And Storks upon the fir-trees build 18. Wild goats the hills defend and feed And in the Rocks the Conies breed 19. He made the changing Moone appeare To note the seasons of the yeare The Sun from Him his strength doth get And knows the measure of his Set. 20. Thou mak'st the darkness of the night When beasts creep forth that shunn'd the light 21. Young Lions roaring after prey From God their hunger must allay 22. When the bright Sun casts forth his ray Down in their Dennes themselves they lay 23. Man's labour with the morne begun Continues till the day be done 24. O Lord what wonders hast thou made In providence and wisedome layd The earth is with Thy riches crown'd 25. And Seas where creatures most abound 26. There go the ships which swiftly fly There great Leviathan doth ly Who takes his pastime in the flood 27. All these do waite on Thee for food 28. Thy bounty is on them distill'd Who are by Thee with goodnes fill'd 29 But when thou hid'st Thy face they dy And to their dust returned ly 30. Thy spirit all with life endues The springing face of earth renewes 31. Gods glory ever shall endure Pleas'd in His works from change secure 32. Upon the earth He looketh downe Which shrinks trembles at His frowne His lightnings touch or thunders stroak Wil make the proudest mountains smoak 33 To Him my Ditties whil'st I live Or being have shall praises give 34 My Meditations will be sweet When fixt on Him my comforts meet 35.

By reason of their vengfull pride Who Thee blaspheme and me deride 17. All this we beare yet have we not Thy selfe or Covenant forgot 18. Our heart revolting turnes not back Nor do our feet Thy waies forsake 19. Though 'mongst the dragons broken sore And with death's shadow cover'd ore 20. If we our God forgotten have Or unto Idols worship gave 21. Shall not his search the sin impart Who knowes the secrets of each heart 22. Yea for Thy sake so ill we fare We all the day-long killed are Counted as sheep for shambles bred Fit only to be slaughtered 23. Awake O Lord why do'st Thou sleep Still wilt Thou us at distance keep 24. Why hidest Thou Thy face from those Who ly opprest and griev'd by foes 25.

MY God My God upon me look O wherefore hast Thou me forsook Why help'st Thou not when I implore Nor hear'st when I through anguish roare 2 O God by day to Thee I cry But Thou Thy audience dost deny And in the night when I should sleep My sorrowes will not silence keep 3. But Thou in Holinesse dost dwell O Thou the praise of Israel 4. Our Fathers plac'd their trust in Thee And Thy deliverance set them free 5. They cry'd to Thee surpriz'd with feare And from Confusion saved were 6. But I a worme and no man am Reproach of men and peoples shame 7 Beholders Me their pastime make Shoot out their lip their head they shake 8. He trusted God that He would save See if from him he safety have 9. But Thou didst take me from the womb And ever since my hope become 10. On Thee when on the breast I hung And from the birth my care was flung 11. When trouble 's neare O be not far Since left to me no helpers are 12. For many bulls with bellowing sound Strong bulls of Bashan girt me round 13. They gape like Lions Me about 14. I am like water powred out My bones disjoynted torture crackes My heart within me melts like Waxe 15 My strength is like a Pot-sheard dry'd My tongue up to my Palate ty'd 16. Thou brought'st me down unto the grave For dogs my life encompast have Assemblies of the wicked meet They pierced have
tide With Songs of Thy delivery I shall encompast ly 8. I will enforme thy life and teach How thou this blisse shalt reach And with mine eye I thee will guide Least thou should'st tread aside 9. Be ye not like the horse or mule Whom reason cannot rule Whose stubborne mouths the bit and reine From fury must restreine 10. Great plagues and paines that never end For wicked men attend But those in God their trust who place Sure mercies shall embrace Be glad ye righteous and rejoyce Who make the Lord your choice With shouts alowd your joy impart All ye upright in heart PSAL. 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. New Songs record unto the voyce With their melodious noise 4. For just Gods promise is to you And all His workes are true 5. He righteousnesse and judgment wills All earth his goodnesse fills 6. 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-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. Their Soule to reskue from the grave And life from famine save 20. Our soule doth wait for God our sheild 21. Glad hopes on Him we build 22. Lord let Thy mercy on us be As we beleive in Thee PSAL. XXXIV 1. I Will at all times blesse the Lord His praises still record 2 And whilst my soule of God makes choice The humble shall rejoyce 3. 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. For God His servants soules redeems And deare their faith esteems PSAL. XXXV As Psalme 51. 1. PLead Lord my cause with striving foes Against them fight who me oppose 2. 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. Downe are they fall'n who ills devise And never shall arise PSAL. XXXVII Sing this as Psalme 51. 1 FRet not thy selfe nor envious be At those that work iniquity 2. For they shall soon to nothing passe Cut downe and wither'd like the grasse 3. Trust in the Lord be doing good
