KING DAVID Blessed be the Kingdome of our Father David that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosannah in the highest Mar. 11. 10. A CENTURY OF Select Psalms And Portions of the PSALMS of DAVID Especially those of praise Turned into Meter and fitted to the usual Tunes in PARISH CHURCHES For the use of the Charter-House LONDON By JOHN PATRICK Preacher there LONDON Printed by J. M. for Richard Royston Bookseller to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty at the Angel in Amen-Corner 1679. A PREFACE TO THE READER WERE it not that the Singing-Psalms commonly used in Churches labour under the Prejudice of an ill Translation whose dress is course and homely the Meter rugged and unequal being patched up with little care the words many of them out of use and scarce intelligible without fancy and sometimes which is worse without any sense I cannot think that any sober devout person would decry or sleight the singing of them in the Church wherein tho' the common People cannot attain in this more than in other matters to much skill or art yet however they seem to me to be imployed more affectionately in this than in any other part of the Service and considering that praising God is the most excellent part of it by the same reason that the Apostle prefers Charity before Faith and Hope because when they cease to be of use this remains for ever even in Heaven it self it may seem very reasonable to afford the people all furtherance and assistance to the better performance of that to which they have already a laudable propension I confess there are discouragements to undertake such a work and particularly that which some others have deservedly complain'd of viz. the ungracefulness of the Measures of our Common Tunes which I think happens to have been the worst chosen of any Meter extant in any Language and scarce admits when words are fitted to them of any Elegancy which therefore the Excellent Poets of our own have balked and chosen in their Translations to use Pindaric's or other measures of their own fancying wherein without being so much straitned they had more scope for their flights and Elegancies But since the people cannot be wound up to them he that intends their benefit must condescend and take as he finds it the Meter they are accustomed to and fit such words to them as they can understand and may conveigh naturally and easily into their minds that pious sense which every where breaths in the Psalms of David And perhaps this may be a harder task to do well than he that has not try'd it would imagine especially when he must not take leave to Paraphrase largely in strains of his own but must keep closely tho' not to every word yet to the sense of the Text as it lies before him This has been attempted I know by many but I think not so successfully as might have been wisht For the most have plainly miscarried by tying themselves too strictly I had almost said superstitiously to the words of the English Text which in a Thousand places cannot be made to fall Naturally without botching into verse so that there is little more of Poetry in them than meer Rhime A Reverend Bishop that saw this fault and avoided it yet pitched upon an unlucky method in his Translation to make every first and second every third and fourth line of a Psalm to answer and rhime to one another whereby in the short measures especially of eight and six feet which is the common one he was too much hamper'd and confined so that the words could not fall in so naturally as they ought which appears the better to explain what I mean even in the two first lines of the first Psalm which in his Version are these The Man is blest whose feet not tread By wicked Counsels led where the Rhime returning so quick forced the last word of the first line out of its proper order Another Ingenious Gentleman since that bestowed very commendable pains in this work but yet which was great pity his Version seems to me less fitted for common use than the former For tho' sometimes he may be thought to have chosen too great bluntness and homeliness of phrase as if intending to comply with the vulgar witness such as these for instance Good Fellows in their Wine Goblin of the Night Gates of gaping Death Created at a blast Potters brittle Ware Muttons to the Shambles sold Water swell his Guts and such like yet at other times his Phrases especially his Epithets are not to be understood by the vulgar without a Comment such as these Libyan Fields Torrid Climes Phoenician die Oazy Beds Deaths Carnivals Ophir Ingots Aromatick Unguents c. Very often again without occasion given by the Psalm his phrase is too Poetical and not befitting the Gravity of the Subject for instance in such as these Suns Western Inn for his seting Wind-rockt Cradles for Birds Nests Air-fann'd Flames Feathered show'r Grey feathered Morn Heav'ns winged Posts Heav'ns starry Canopy and a great many such like When I observed these things tho' at first I only intended to make a Collection of Psalms out of others for the use of that Society to which I relate where we are bound by the Orders of the House upon Sundays and Festivals and the Eves of them to sing the Psalms to an Organ tho' without a Quire I altered my thoughts and resolved to try as others had done before me so to fit the Psalms to the common Tunes that the vulgar might bear their part in them and the more intelligent and skilful might not have reason to despise this part of the Service Which design whether I have performed I must leave others to judge only desiring when they do so to remember that this was my end and not to set up for a Poet. And now to give the Reader some account of my manner of proceeding herein Because for the reason before given I resolved not to ty up my self strictly to the use of the words of the English Text unless they would fall in naturally but rather to clear the phrases by a short Paraphrase tho' still keeping to the sense I therefore consulted the Criticks and other Expositors upon places of difficulty and especially the Paraphrases of the Learned Dr Hammond and Amyraldus I have endeavoured to suit my Version to the strain of the Psalms which are very different some more humble and plain best suited to Davids afflictive Complaints plaints or to those Psalms that instruct mens manners Others are more lofty elegant and poetical as when he sets out the worlds of God his Creation and Providence or the perfections of the Almighty Ruler of the World or prophetically describes things that relate to the Messiah Instances of which may be seen in Psalm 23.29.45 65.91.93.96.104.139 not to mention many others I foresee two Objections against my method of proceeding which I shall briefly endeavour to satisfie The one is that I
