pain my fears and grief Thou soon didst hear and help provide And heal me with speedy relief 3 Lord thy great mercy did bring up My soul from death and hell to save Till now thou hast kept me alive From an untimely feared grave 4 O ye that are his holy ones Sing joyful praises to the Lord In memory of his holiness Give thanks to him with one accord 5 There 's but a moment in his wrath Endless life in his favour lies Though weeping be our evening's work Joy with us in the morn shall rise 6 In health and sweet prosperity My careless heart affected was As if I never should be mov'd And see what after came to pass 7 For thy great savour Lord did seem To make my present state secure My mountain of prosperity Did seem so setled strong and sure But when offended by my sin Thou hid'st from me thy pleased face My painful flesh and troubled soul Did quickly feel a changed case 8 Then did I cry to thee O Lord When pain and danger bid me pray I poured out before the Lord My earnest suit both night and day 9 I said what gain is in my blood If to the feared grave I go Doth silent dust there speak thy praise Doth it thy truth and mercy show 10 Hear gracious Lord a sinner's cries Who doth thy needful mercy crave Lord help me in this deep distress And from this feared danger save 11 Then didst thou turn my grief and moans Into a pleasant thankful voice My mourning garments thou took'st off And taught'st me to sing and rejoyce 12 That so my tongue may sing thy praise And never henceforth silent be O Lord my God for evermore I will give thanks and praise to thee The Old Metre

sav'dst me from the feared grave 4 Sing praise ye Saints who prove and see The love and goodness of the Lord In memory of his Majesty Sing and rejoyce with one accord 5 For why his anger but a space Doth last and quickly slack again But in his favour and his grace Always doth blessed life remain 6 Though gripes and grief and pangs full sore Shall lodge with us all the dark night The Lord to joy shall us restore Betimes before the day be light 7 When I enjoy'd the Word at will Thus vainly would I boast and say Tush I am sure to feel no ill This health and wealth shall not decay 8 For thou O Lord of thy good grace Hadst sent me present strength and aid But when thou turn'dst away thy face My troubled mind was sore dismaid 9 Wherefore again yet did I cry To thee O gracious Lord of might My God with plaints I did apply And pray'd to him both day and night What gain is in my blood said I If hasty death destroy my days Doth dust declare thy Majesty Or yet thy grace and truth doth praise 10 Wherefore my God some pity take O Lord I humbly thee desire Do not this simple soul forsake My God of help I thee require 11 Then didst thou turn my grief and woe Into a glad and chearful voice The mournful weeds thou took'st me fro And mad'st me to sing and rejoyce 12 Wherefore my soul uncessantly Shall sing unto thy holy praise My Lord my God to thee will I Give laud and joyful thanks always

deliverance To save me by my Rock of strength My Fort and Castle of defence 3 For thou art in my strong Rock and thee I for my secure Fortress take Lead me therefore and keep me safe For thy own name and glory sake 4 Pull me out of the net which they For me in craft have closely laid Because thou only art my strength To which I trust and flie for aid 5 Into thy hand I do commit My spirit for thou alone art he Jehovah God of truth and grace Who hast in love redeemed me 6 Them that deceitful vanities Regard I shun and have abhor'd But my firm hope and confidence Is in my great and gracious Lord. 7 I in thy mercies will rejoyce Because my many miseries Thou weighest and hast known my soul In all my great adversities 8 Thou hast not left and shut me up Into my wrathful enemies hand Thou set'st my feet at liberty In a large and free room to stand 9 Have mercy on me O my God In my great trouble send relief Mine eye my belly and my soul Consumed are with pain and grief 10 My life is spent in grief my years In mournful sighs away do fly My strength doth fail my bones consume And this for mine iniquity 11 Among my foes I was a scorn And to my neighbours specially A fear to friends They that

compass'd me about while they Against me did consult and plot By fraud to take my life away 14 But I did trust in thee O Lord When I by foes was under-trod This was my soul's support and rest I said

to come and speak with so great concernedness about Prosperity and Adversity here and especially that he saith so much through almost all the Book against his Enemies and the Oppression and Cruelties of wicked men and his great danger of them and sufferings by them even cursing them and their Posterity Answ As to this it must be considered 1. That it is most certain that not only David but the Jews generally except the Sadducees believed the Immortality of the Soul and the Rewards and Punishments of the other Life And many passages in the Psalms prove it And so do the Histories of Enoch and Elias and Saul's seeking to dead Samuel and the raising of divers dead men and Herod thought that John was risen and others that Christ was one of the old Prophets All which had been impossible had not the soul survived He that ask'd Christ what he should do to inherit eternal Life spake but on the Principle of the Jews Faith 2. But the future state of souls being not near so fully revealed under the Law as it was after by Christ who brought life and immortality more to light by the Gospel God saw it meet to give men under the Law more motives to Obedience and against Sin both by his word and works from outward Mercies and Punishments than under the Gospel which much more teacheth us the Doctrine of the Cross. 3. And David was a King whose concerns therefore were publick even the Churches and Kingdoms as well as his own And all Christians must be greatly affected with publick Church concerns And as he was a Type of Christ his Enemies are cursed as Christ's Enemies which yet he seemeth oft to do but Prophetically 4. And it must be noted that it is not their damnation that is his usual curse and wish though he foretel it of the impenitent but their destruction on earth for the Churches deliverance by the utter extirpation of them and their Posterity 5. And though Christ teach us to love our enemies and bless them that curse us and pray for them that hate and persecute us yet he forbids us not to desire deliverance from them nor to hate their Diabolical Lying Malignity and Cruelty and Enmity to the Gospel and to Obedience to God It 's a great Duty to note the universal War in all Lands and Ages between the Serpent's and the Woman's seed and to know that Brutishness first and Cainism and Diabolism next are the Serpent's Progency as naturally prospering in corrupted graceless men as Maggots in a Carkass And they that live in an Age and Land where these prevail and are in power will have a sensible Commentary of David's Psalms And in Prisons and in Wars and Fields of Blood and Torments many have confessed that now they understood the Psalms of David which they never soundly understood before 6. Lastly Though David say not so much of the Life to come as we could wish he saith very much of the way to it and the necessary means He knew that Heaven is ready for us if we be but ready for it And all that must be done for it by us is in this short hasty life And as a Traveller doth not all the way talk and think so much of his Journeys end as of all passages in his way and yet doth all this for the end so a good Christian that layeth out his care and labour in obeying God's Word and avoiding sin and doing all the good he can in the World and this in faith and hope of Heavenly Felicity doth better than be that neglecteth present means on pretence of only contemplating the end We are all in our Baptism listed in Christ's Army as Cross-bearers against the Devil World and Flesh And he that lamenteth not the successes of Satan and the greatness of his Kingdom the vastness of the Dominions of Heathens and Infidels the fewness of Christians the greater paucity of those that are Christians indeed sincere and serious that are more for Heaven than for Earth and mortifie the Lusts of the Flesh by the Spirit and how wofully Satan hath prevailed to make Hypocritical Nominal Christians more false malignant and blood-thirsty than many Turks and Heathens and how lamentably in many Christian Nations he hath so far got Power and Ministry on his side as to be the most effectual hinderers of the serious Practice of that Christian Religion which themselves profess I say he that is not sensible of this is not a genuine Disciple of Christ and a skilful Souldier in his Army And he that is will understand David's Psalms but yet Christ will teach him that it is by Faith and Patience that Christians must be more than Conquerours while they are killed all the day long and counted as sheep to the slaughter while nothing can seperate them from the love of God § 5. Quest But are not the Psalms sufficiently by Translation and Metre already fitted to the Churches use What need any more help of yours Answ I am not so vain as to expect that my Version should be of publick Church-use Others have done well in several respects I delight to read them and love and honour all the Authors I wrote for my own use not intending any Publication and that in my Restraint when my soul 's great Concerns made it my chief and necessary Employment When it was my interest and daily work to speak to God And I found the Psalms so fitted to my use as if they had been purposely made for me When I used not to sleep one minute is many Nights through pain and disturbance these Psalms were my recreation And when Meditations of the same things still grow customary and dull Psalms especially of Praise revived and exhilerated my Soul both Night and Day And we are bound while we we have time to do good to all men and Grace as well as Nature is communicative And Charity to Souls is more excellent than to Bodies I have no hope of reaching the Seraphick strain of Mr. George Sandys especially on Job But he hath not fitted his Metres to the usual Tunes so that to the Vulgar they are almost useless Bishop King's are very good but the unusual-way of making the Rythme of the next Verse meet maketh it by disuse unpleasant to the most Mr. White 's the Scots and Mr. Row's his Second are an excellent Translation of the Hebrew Text But the ear desireth greater melody than their strict Versions will allow Mr. William Barton hath done excellently of whom I have made much use But his great labour for Rythmes hath made it though more excellent to some yet less grave and less taking to many others Mr. Woodford's and Sandy's and Patrick's and Davision's and some others that have taken a larger Paraphrastical liberty than I have done are much more pleasant and useful to many But when I perused all these and others for my own daily devotion and delight I found none of them that

and plot wickedly From insurrection of those men That still do work iniquity 3 Who do their tongues with malice whet That they may cut like sharpned swords In whose bent bows are arrows set To shoot even false and bitter words 4 That they may at the perfect man In secret aim their cruel shot Suddenly do they shoot at him Harden'd in sin they fear it not 5 In ill encourage they themselves And commune how closely to lay Their snares for to entrap the just For who our plots shall see say they 6 They study for iniquity For it they use their greatest art Deep is their inward plotting thought And unknown is their wicked heart 7 God shall an arrow at them shoot And wound them deep and suddenly 8 Their tongues shall fall upon themselves All that see them away shall fly 9 And seeing this all men shall fear And shall God's dreadful works declare For wisely then they shall perceive That these his righteous doings are 10 The righteous shall rejoyce in God And in him wholly put their trust

approach nigh to thee his God That in thy holy pleasant Courts He may have his constant abode Our souls shall satisfied be With the goodness and Divine grace Which in thy blessed house abounds Even in thy chosen holy place 5 Thy Justice will by dreadful things An answer to us waiting give God of our help the trust of all On earth or on the sea that live 6 The God of Power who by strength Set'st fast the great and massy hills 7 Who the great noise of sea and waves And raging people's tumult stills 8 Those that in utmost parts do dwell Are at thy dreadful signs afraid Mornings and evenings out-goings By thee sing and are joyful made 9 The earth thou visit'st watering it Enrich'd by thee with fruit to grow By God's full streams Thou Corn prepar'st Having for it provided so 10 Her ridges thou dost water well Her plowed surrows settlest With showers thou dost make it soft Her springing fruit by thee is blest 11 Thus thou the year from time to time Dost with thy bounteous goodness crown And thy high paths do from above On earth drop plenteous fatness down 12 They drop upon the pasture-grounds That lye even in the desart wide The little hills thereby refresh'd Rejoyce with fruit on every side 13 The pastures cloathed are with Flocks The vallies also covered be With Corn Thy blessing is their joy Their fruits sing praises unto thee PSALM LXVI 1 MAke ye a joyful noise to God All people of the spacious earth 2 Sing to the honour of his name His glorious praise do ye set forth 3 Say unto God How-terrible In all thy mighty works art thou Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee

works which God hath wrought With fear and admiration see His doings towards the sons of men All great and very dreadful be 6 He turn'd the Sea into dry land And they thereby safe passage had All marching through the flood on foot There singing we in him were glad 7 He ever ruleth by his pow'r His eyes do all the Nations see The Rebels that exalt themselves By him full low shall humbled be 8 Ye people sound forth of our God
Princes Zebulon And with them also Naphtali's 28 Thy God commands thy strength O God Confirm what thou for us hast wrought 29 For thy house at Jerusalem King's Presents shall to thee be brought 30 Spear-men and people rude rebuke Till all of them submissive are And tribute pay scatter thou them That do delight in strife and war 31 Princes shall then submit to thee And hither come from Egypt lands And Ethiopia to God Shall soon stretch out her subject hands 32 Sing unto God adoring praise O all ye people of the earth Sing praises to the Lord our God With reverence and holy mirth 33 To him that on the heaven of heavens Which was of old doth ride rejoyce His voice he sendeth all abroad It is a mighty dreadful voice 34 Ascribe ye power unto God Who reigns on high o're Israel And his great strength and excellence Doth in the heav'ns in glory dwell 35 Dreadful out of his holy place Is Israel's God who doth afford Unto his people strength and pow'r Blessed therefore be God our Lord. PSALM LXIX 1 SAve me O God for rising floods Unto my fearful soul are come 2 I sink in deep unstable mire Deep waters have me overflown 3 I of my crying weary am My voice is hoarse my throat is dry'd My eyes also do fall while I Do waiting for my God abide 4 More than my hairs of head they be Who causeless hatred to me bear And my injurious enemies That would destroy me mighty are Then I restored that to them Which never taken was by me 5 O God thou know'st my foolishness And my sins are not hid from thee 6 Let not them for my sake be sham'd O Lord of Hosts that wait on thee Nor those that seek thee Israel's God For my own cause confounded be 7 For thy sake I have born reproach And shame hath covered my face 8 I to my brethren strange am grown An Alien to my mother's race 9 Because the zeal did eat me up Which to thy sacred house I bear And the reproaches cast on thee Upon me fallen for thy cause are 10 When I in tears with fasting lay This to my own reproach was turn'd A Proverb to them I became 11 When I in sackcloth cloathed mourn'd 12 The great men that sit in the gate Spake of me all the ill they think And I was made the song of them That are the drinkers of strong drink 13 But Lord in an accepted time My Prayer I send up to thee Lord in thy mercies multitude And in thy saving truth hear me 14 Deliver me out of the mire And me from sinking in it keep Save me from them that do me hate And out of all these waters deep 15 Let not the floods me overflow Nor let the deeps up swallow me And let not the pit's mouth below Upon me buryed closed be 16 Hear me O Lord for thy sure love And kindness is exceeding good Turn thou to me according to Thy tender mercies multitude 17 From thy servant hide not thy face In this my trouble soon attend 18 Draw nigh my soul and it redeem And from mine enemies me defend 19 To thee is my reproach well known My shame and my causeless disgrace My adversaries and their ways Are open all before thy face 20 Reproach hath broke my heart and grief Abounds in me I lookt for some To pity me but there was none True comforters I found not one 21 They gave me also bitter gall For food which they would have me eat They gave me vinegar to drink In scorn when as my thirst was great 22 Let their own Table be their snare Do thou to them in justice make Their welfare and posterity Become a trap themselves to take 23 And let their eyes so darkened be That pleasant light do them forsake And let their weakned Ioyns by thee Be made continually to shake 24 Thy dreadful indignation Pour out upon these wicked men And let thy hot displeasure and Thy heavy wrath take hold on them 25 And let their stately palaces Be left as desolate within Their tents without inhabitants Where these ill men have dwellers bin 26 Because him whom thou didst correct Yet they have persecuted more They talk unto the grief of those Whom thou didst strike and wound before 27 Add thou deserved punishment Unto their hainous wilful sin And to thy saying righteousness Let them not have admission in 28 Out of the book of living men Let them by death be blotted quite And with the just that blessed are Do not their names number and write 29 But I am poor and sorrowful Because of my adversity But let thy saving grace O Lord Yet raise and set me up on high 30 The Name of God I with a song Will praise and honour joyfully And with thanksgiving for his grace The Lord's name I will magnifie 31 This also shall a sacrifice More acceptable to him be Than Bull or Ox with hoof and horns If they were offered by me 32 The meek and humble shall be glad And greatly joy when this they see Your hearts shall live that seek the Lord And ever comfortable be 33 Because the Lord doth hear the poor When they to him do cry and pray And doth not neglect or despise Those that for him in prison lay 34 Let the high heav'ns and spacious earth Unto Jehovah praises give The Ocean deep and every thing Which therein doth but creep and live 35 For God will surely Sion save And Judah's Cities again build That men may them possess and dwell In houses plentifully fill'd 36 And they that are his servants seed Shall be possessors of the same And they shall have their dwelling there Who do sincerely love his name PSALM LXX 1 O God from my distress and fear Do thou vouchsafe to set me free Make hast O Lord do thou afford Thy speedy saving help to me 2 Let them confounded be and sham'd Who do my death seek and conspire Confound them all and turn them back That do my hurt in heart desire 3 Let shame be their reward Let them Fly and be turned back by thee Who triumphing in my distress Do say in scorn Aha to me 4 Let all that truly seek thy face With joy be ever glad in thee Let all that thy salvation love Say still the Lord God praised be 5 But I am poor and weak O God Make hast to me and do not stay Thou art my Saviour and help Help Lord and make no more delay PSALM LXXI 1 IN thee O Lord I put my trust Let me no hurtful shame befal 2 In justice save me from my foes By thee let me escape them all Incline thine ear and save thou me 3 Be thou my strength my rock and fort My dwelling unto which I may For help and refuge still resort My safety is thy own Command My rock and fortress thou wilt be 4 From wicked unjust cruel men Do thou my God deliver me 5 For upon thee

before thine eyes 9 Thus while thy righteous wrath we bear Our days do pass away and fail The years of this vain life we spend As a short transient thought or tale 10 Our age is threescore years and ten If by strength lengthened to fourscore That strength our labour doth prolong And doth but make our sorrows more 11 It 's soon cut off and we are gone Who knows aright thy powerful wrath Thy anger we fear not in vain All sin some penal sorrow hath 12 Lord teach us this most needful work Aright to number all our days That we to wisdom may apply Our hearts without secure delays 13 How long Lord shall we feel thy wrath Return revive us by thy grace Let it repent thee of our pains And pity thy poor servants case 14 O let thy early mercy us Comfort restore and satisfie That we may serve thee all our days With gladness and with holy joy 15 According to the days wherein Thy sharp affliction we have had As years of sorrow we have seen Let mercy longer make us glad 16 O let thy work and power be shewn Unto thy humbled servants now And let their Children by those works Thy saving grace and glory know 17 Adorn us with the beauty of The shining glory of thy face Let our just works establish'd be Bless and maintain them by thy grace PSALM XCI 1 THe man that in the secret place Of the most High in heart doth dwell He under the Almighty's shade Shall lodge abide and prosper well 2 I of the Lord will boast and say Thou art my Refuge Rock and Tower Whoever threats whatever comes I 'le boldly trust his Love and Power 3 Surely he will deliver thee From the entrapping Fowler 's snare And he will safely thee preserve From noysome Pestilential air 4 His wings of love shall cover thee There thou art safe there boldly trust He will thy shield and buckler be His Word is true and he is just 5 Though the night's darkness be the time Of fears and dangers yet you may Rest quietly without such fears And from your foes assaults by day 6 Though Plagues and many sudden harms Do oft surprize men in the night Trust God and fear them not Nor those Which do destroy in Noon-day light 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall And ten thousands at thy right hand When nigh thee there it shall not come But God shall safely thee defend 8 Only this dreadful spectacle When that day comes thine eyes shall see How those who now live wickedly Shall then by God rewarded be 9 Because the blessed God most high Who is my refuge thou hast made The dwelling where thy faithful soul It s daily conversation had 10 Therefore no great and deadly harm No plotted ill shall thee befall Nor any penal hurtful plague Come nigh thy guarded dwelling shall 11 Of thee he 'll give his Angels charge That whether thou dost wake or sleep In all thy good and righteous ways They shall thee guard and safely keep 12 As tender nurses bear weak babes These lead and bear thee in their arms Lest feeble frailty cause thy fall They keep thee from all deadly harms 13 The Lions fierce the poysnous Asp Thy feet shall safely trample on The Lions whelps the Dragons rage By conquering grace thou shalt tread down 14 Because on me he set his love I 'le save him from all deadly woe I 'le him advance because my name With fear and honour he did know 15 He upon this my name shall call In all his troubles wants and fear His moans and suit I 'le not despise His earnest prayer I will hear Though here of trouble he partake In it I will be with him still I 'le him deliver out of all And truest honour give him will 16 And with sufficient length of days I 'le grant his sober just request And my salvation he shall see Here and in everlasting rest PSALM XCII A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath-day 1 TO render thanks to God it is A good and very pleasant thing And to thy name O thou most high Joyntly thy praises for to sing 2 Thy loving kindness to shew forth Early in the first morning's light And to declare thy faithfulness With evening songs even in the night 3 On a ten-stringed instrument And on the pleasant Psaltery And on the sweet and warbling Harp With solemn sound and melody For thou Lord by thy wondrous works Hast made thy servant's heart most glad And I will triumph in the works Which thy own hand hath done and made 5 How great O Lord are all thy works And very deep thy counsels be 6 Brutish men understand not this Carnal fools cannot these things see 7 That when the wicked spring as grass And a while sinners flourish all It is that they for ever may Into deserv'd destruction fall 8 But thou O Lord who dost them judge In glory dost the same remain And thou on high in Majesty O're all for evermore dost reign 9 For lo thine enemies O Lord Thy wicked enemies perish shall The workers of iniquity By thee shall be dispersed all 10 But like the horns of Unicorns My head and power wilt thou exalt And me thy chosen one anoint With fresh and holy Oyl thou shalt 11 Mine eyes also shall see the fall Of all my wicked enemies Mine ears shall hear of their defeat Who falsly did against me rise 12 As

grace Shall flourish in the Courts of God By the beams of his pleased face 14 Their old age shall not fruitless be But good and plenteous fruit shall bring When flesh decays they shall be fat And ever green and flourishing 15 To shew us that our faithful Lord Who my sure rock and hope hath bin Is upright and unrighteousness None is or ever was in him PSALM XCIII 1 THe Lord doth reign in Majesty Cloathed about with glorious light The Lord hath cloath'd and girt himself With strength and unresisted might 2 The world is so established That none but God can it remove From everlasting thou art

high more mighty is Than all these waters hideous noise He can rebuke and quiet all The Ocean's roaring frightful voice 5 Thy testimonies are most sure And devout holiness always Becomes thy house and all that there Assemble for thy holy praise PSALM XCIV 1 RIghteous
