praises further known And with the Harp I 'le sing to thee O Israel's most Holy One. 23 My lips shall my great joy express When singing I thy praises sound My soul which thou redeemed hast Shall with her holy joy abound 24 And of thy righteousness my tongue Shall talk with joy all the day long For they confounded are with shame Who sought my hurt and-death with wrong PSALM LXXII 1 LOrd give thy judgments to the King And to his son thy righteousness 2 With right he shall thy people judge Thy poor with truth and uprightness 3 Then shall the mountains great and firm Bring to the neighbour people peace So also shall the little hills By pleasant fruits of righteousness 4 The poorest people he shall judge And he shall save the poor and weak And those that their oppressors are Cast down he shall in pieces break 5 And even from age to age shall they Reverence thy name and fear thy might As long as Sun doth shine by day Or as the Moon doth shine by night 6 He shall come down like fruitful rain Upon the grounds of late mown grass And as for watering the dry earth Refreshing showers from heav'n do pass 7 Just men shall flourish in his days And all shall have abundant peace And this continued shall be Until the Moon to shine doth cease 8 His great and blest dominion shall Widely from Sea to Sea extend And from the River it shall reach To the earth's remote utmost end 9 Those that dwell in the wilderness Humbly bow down before him must And they that are his enemies Must crowch and lick the very dust 10 The Kings of Tarshish and the Isles To him shall costly Presents bring The King of Sheba and Seba Shall send their gifts and offering 11 Yea all the greatest Kings on earth Shall prostrate down before him fall The many nations of the world Shall also humbly serve him all 12 The weak and needy he will save When they for help to him do call Also the poor and forlorn man That hath no humane help at all 13 Those that are low and indigent He shall in tender mercy spare And not oppress but save the souls Of them that weak and needy are 14 Their souls from fraud and violence His pow'r and mercy shall redeem Their blood he shall not vilifie But it as precious shall esteem 15 He shall live and to him shall be Presented Sheba's finest gold He shall be pray'd for constantly And daily be his praise extoll'd 16 The corn that grows on mountain tops Prosp'ring the reaper's hand shall fill The fruit thereof shall wave and shake Like trees on woody Lebanon hill His City shall be flourishing With store of Citizens abound Even as the green and plenteous grass Doth flourish on the fertile ground 17 His name shall last His father's name By him his son continue shall And men in him shall blessed be All nations him shall blessed call 18 And blessed be his holy name For ever by all living men 19 And with his glory let the earth Be wholly fill'd Amen Amen PSALM LXXIII 1 YEt surely God is ever good To all his Israel and to them Whose hearts are purify'd and clean And that are upright hearted men 2 But yet my weakness was so great In my time of temptation That my foot-steps had well-nigh slipt My stumbling feet were almost gone 3 For at the fools who flourished I grudg'd and looked enviously When as I saw how wicked men Do live in great prosperity 4 For there are no bands in their death Their strength shews they are fully fed 5 Other mens troubles they escape And are not like them chastened 6 Therefore with pride as with a chain About they all encompass'd are And covered with violence It as a garment they do wear 7 Their eyes stand out with fat they have More than their very hearts can wish 8 They are corrupt their wicked speech Oppressing lofty and pâ—oud is 9 They set their mouth against the Heav'ns In their prophane blaspheming talk And their reviling lavish tongue At large throughout the earth doth walk 10 And hereupon his people do Hither themselves return agen And waters of a vessel full Are drawn and wrung out unto them 11 And thus they say How can it be That God all this doth note and know And that there is in the most high Knowledge of things done here below 12 Behold these the ungodly are Who live in health and fleshly ease

I. THese Psalms are set to the commonest Measures and Tunes of the Old Metre of the Psalms Psal 84.117.119 Te Deum II. To The Tune of the Old 100 Psalm or the Old 51 are 1.18.78.89.100.106.107.109.114.135.150.57.69.88 Note That the Tune of the Old 51st best agreeeth with the sadder sort of Psalms and the Tune of the Old 100. with the laudatory Psalms III. To the Tune of the Old 25 are set Psal 3.15.20 21 22.24 25.28.43.50.56.59.61.65.67.70.83.85 86 87.100.110.123.136.141 IV. To the Tune of the Old 148 are set these laudatory Psalms 47.98.136.146.148 149. and the Benedicite c. V. All the rest are set to the longer and shorter Measures and Tunes indifferently That is If you leave out the words written in a different Character they are fitted to any of the commonest shorter Tunes which are very many But if you take in the words of different Character they are fitted to the longer Tunes of the Old 51st or 100th As for instance Psalm 2. Why do the Rebel-Nations rage And People hatch a vain design The Kings of earth do set themselves And wicked Rulers do combine But if you leave out the words of a different Character in Crotchets thus then you may use any of the Common Tunes As for Instance of the same Psalm Why do the Rebel-Nations rage And hatch a vain design The Kings of earth do set themselves And Rulers do combine The reason why I so-ordered them is 1. Because Nature weary of the same is recreated with variety of Tunes And some are more for one and some for another 2. Because when brevity causeth obscurity the additional words are seen by them that use the Books as explicatory of the rest when they be not spoken And the great difference of the Letters makes it no stop to the Readers Though this was never done by any other that I know of and though it sometime make the Verse more rough I hope the benefit will compensate all this Note That some few select Psalms most fitted to mens ordinary state Humbling Deprecatory Supplicatory or Gratulatory and Laudatory should by most be learnt without Book to be ready night and day as various Occasions make them useful And times of Calamity Danger Oppression and Persecution will render men capable of a sensible understanding of the greatest part of the Psalms otherwise hardly understood which aggravate the furious Rage Malignity Violence Bloodiness and Diabolical Nature Designs and Attempts of the wicked enemies of Truth Piety and Holy Peace and teach us to fly to God only for help from these wicked and unreasonable men And it will thereby confute our offence at David's so much aggravating his and the Churches Enemies wickedness and bloody cruelty If we consider that it is not their eternal damnation that he prayeth for but publick Justice by God the universal Soveraign who hath made Justice a necessary part of Government Divine and Humane and the ordinary means of repressing Wickedness encouraging Obedience and protecting and delivering the Church and State FINIS

sware And unto David will not lye 36 His seed and throne shall as the Sun Before me last perpetually 37 And it shall be established For ever and like to the Moon Which as a witness in the heav'ns My steady faithfulness makes known 38 But now thou dost him so forsake As if cast down thou dost him loath And with this thine anointed one Thou dealest as in heavy wrath 39 Thy servant's Covenant hast made void And on the ground prophan'd his Crown 40 His strong holds thou to ruin brought'st And hast broke all his hedges down 41 All spoil him that pass by the way To neighbours a reproach is he 42 And thou hast set up their right hand That his great adversaries be Thou hast made all his foes rejoyce 43 The edge of his sword in his hand Thou turned hast and hast not him Made able in the fight to stand 44 His glory thou hast made to cease His Throne down to the ground hast cast 45 His days of youth hast shortened And him with shame thou covered hast 46 How long Lord shall it ever be That thou wilt hide thy self in ire And shall thy wrath unreconcil'd Consume and burn us up as fire 47 Remember how short is the time That I must here on earth remain Wherefore hast thou all mortal men Made to live here as meerly vain 48 What man is he that liveth here And fatal Death shall never see And who is he that from the grave Can his own life save and set free 49 The former loving kindnesses Which thou O Lord to him didst bear Where are they now Which in thy truth Thou unto David then didst swear 50 Remember Lord the great reproach Which we thy servants daily bear How in my bosom I receive The scorn of them that mighty are 51 The scorn wherewith thine enemies Have thee reproach'd Lord think upon Even that wherewith they have reproach'd The steps of thine anointed One. 52 Blessed and magnified be For evermore our glorious Lord Let all thy Church resound with me Amen Amen with one accord PSALM XC 1 LOrd thou hast been our dwelling-place In all the Changes we have past Unto thy wandring people thou A certain guide and safety wast 2 Before the mountains were brought forth And thou the earth and world didst frame In and to all Eternity Thou art true God and still the same 3 Thou dost dissolve this frame of MAN By wasting age and chastning pain And say'st unto them Now return You mortal sons of men again 4 The long time of a thousand years Appeareth in thy boundless sight As yesterday when it is past And as a hasty watch by night 5 From whence thou carryest them away As things a speedy torrent doth They are asleep and like the grass Which is but of one morning's growth 6 In that morning it flourisheth It quickly grows up and is green And in the evening it 's cut down And dead and withered is seen 7 For by thine anger for our sin We are from earth consum'd
thirsts after thee As do for rain the thirsty lands 7 Hear me with speed my spirit fails Lord do not hide from me thy face Lest I untimely as the dead Go to the dreaded burying-place 8 O let me with the morning light Thy loving kindness hear and see For in my lowest state I place My confidence alone in thee The way which thou wouldst have me go Clearly do thou make known to me For I for thy conduct and help Lift up my craving soul to thee 9 Lord save me from mine enemies For still with thee my self I hide 10 Teach me to do thy holy will Thou art my God and surest guide Thy spirit and his work is good Safely lead thou my soul in peace Through this false wicked world into The land of truth and uprightness 11 Revive and quicken me O Lord For thy great name and mercies sake And for thy truth and righteousness My humbled soul from trouble take 12 And of thy mercy let those foes Cut off subdu'd and humbled be Who do afflict and persecute Me and thy flock for serving thee PSALM CXLIV 1 FOr ever blessed be the Lord He is my only Rock and might Which taught my hands the skill of war And taught my fingers how to fight 2 My Goodness Fortress my high Tower My Saviour and my shield is he In whom I trust who doth subdue My foes and people under me 3 Lord what is man that thou of him Dost so much mindful notice take Or what 's the son of man that thou Of him so much account dost make 4 Man is like vanity his days Away like passing shadows fly 5 Lord bow the heav'ns come down and shew To man thy awful Majesty The mountains touch and they will smoak 6 Cast forth thy frightful Lightening Scatter them shoot thine arrows out Them to deserv'd destruction bring 7 Send from above thy pow'rful hand Do thou rid and deliver me From waters great and from the hands Of envious strangers set me free 8 Such whose deceitful mouth doth speak Hurtful untruth and vanity And their right hand doth execute Falshood and cruel treachery 9 A new song I to thee will sing Lord on the pleasant Psaltery On a ten-stringed instrument I will sing joyful praise to thee 10 It 's he that Victory to Kings And their desir'd salvation sends His servant David he preserves And from the hurtful sword defends 11 Save me from wicked strangers hands Whose faithless mouth speaks vanity And their right hand doth execute Falshood and their own treachery 12 That grown up in their youth like plants Sons be that are unto us born Our daughters like to polish'd stones May be that Palaces adorn 13 That to afford all kind of store Our garners may be alway fill'd That thousands and ten thousands more Sheep in our streets increas'd store yield 14 That strong our Oxen be to work That on us no Invasion come No flying out that in our streets With us be no complaining moan 15 Those are a happy people here Who are in such a case as this Happy indeed those people are Whose God our great Jehovah is PSALM CXLV 1 MY God and King I 'le thee extol And bless thy holy name always 2 I 'le magnifie thee every day And thy name will for ever praise 3 Great is the Lord and greatest praise Is due from all to him alone His greatness is unsearchable And to us men but little known 4 One age of mortals shall transmit His praise to that which next succeeds They shall declare thy famous works And celebrate thy mighty deeds 5 The glory of thy Majesty And honour I will daily speak And of thy great and wondrous works My tongue shall frequent mention make 6 It shall be mens delight to tell How great and dreadful thy works are And my employment it shall be Thy boundless greatness to declare 7 The mention of thy goodness great Shall largely exercise their tongues Thy Truth and Righteousness shall be The matter of their daily songs 8 The Lord is very gracious Tender compassions in him flow His mercy is exceeding great He 's unto anger very slow 9 That unto all the Lord is good His common mercies do declare And over all his other works His great and tender mercies are 10 Lord all thy works shew forth thy praise Thy Saints thy holy name shall bless 11 Thy Kingdom 's glory they shall speak Their tongues shall thy great power express 12 To make known to the sons of men His many strange and mighty deeds And that in glorious Majesty His Kingdom all our praise exceeds 13 Thy Kingdom everlasting is A Kingdom firm unchang'd and sure Thine absolute Dominion Doth through each age the same endure 14 The Lord of mercy them upholds Who sink and fall into distress And riseth those that are cast down And doth their wrongs and griefs redress 15 The eyes of all do wait on thee Thy bounteous hand doth them relieve And unto all sufficient food In time and measure thou dost give 16 Thou openest thy liberal hand To maintain all enough it gives To satisfie the just desire Of every thing by food that lives 17 The Lord is just in all his ways Holy in all the works he doth 18 He 's nigh to all that call on him That humbly call on him in truth 19 He will fulfil the just desire Of those who do him fear and serve He 'll hear their cry in their distress And them from threatned hurt preserve 20 The God of Love will safely keep All those that do him truly love But all the hateful wicked race Dreadful destruction shall remove 21 With thankful heart my mouth shall speak The praises of the glorious Lord And let all flesh from age to age To bless his holy name accord PSALM CXLVI 1 PRaise ye the Lord most high My soul speak thou his praise I 'le praise him constantly And bless him all my days 2 Even whilst I live And being have God who this gave I 'le praises give 3 In Princes put no trust Nor any son of man Impotent and unjust None of them help us can 4 He life resigns Returns to dust And then he must Cease his designs 5 He is the happy man Whom God doth help afford Who own and trust God can Whose hope is in the Lord. 6 Who all things made Heav'n Earth and Sea His truth and they Do never fade 7 God food to th' hungry gives Judgment doth execute Th' oppress'd loose and relieves Prisoners and destitute 8 To blind gives sight Dejected men He raiseth them Loves the upright 9 God strangers doth defend Orphans and widows knows Ways which to mischief tend Utterly overthrows 10 God King shall be Sion's God shall Still reign o're all The Lord praise ye PSALM CXLVII 1 PRaise ye the Lord for it is good Praise to our glorious God to sing It is a sweet and pleasant work And praise to God a comely thing 2 God buildeth
