Who raise false witnesse me to kill 13. I fainted had but for beleife In endlesse life to find releife Wait on the Lord of courage be O wait on Him will strengthen Thee PSAL. XXVIII 1. TO Thee O Lord my Rock I cry Forbeare not to reply Least I be if Thou silence keep Like those in death that sleep 2. Heare Thou the voyce of my request In accents lowd exprest When I with lifted hands entreat Before thy Mercy seat 3. O draw me not with sinners hence Whose works are Thy offence Who when their hearts would mischiefe wreake Peace to their neighbour speake 4. Give them according to their deeds And wicked labours feeds And in the workes they did invent Render their punishment 5. Because Gods works they set at nought And what His hand hath wrought He cast them to destruction shall Nor build them when they fall 6. Blessed be God who when I pray'd Became my shield and aid 7. Therefore my heart in Songs of Praise With joy His fame shall raise 8. He His Annointed doth defend Strength to His Servants send 9. Thy people save Thine Heritance To endlesse blisse advance PSAL. XXIX 1. YEe Mighty in your Race and Tribe Glory to God ascribe 2. In beauty of His holinesse His Name adore and blesse 3. The Lord by His commanding voyce Brings downe the Waters noyse The Glorious God the Thunder makes Which earth's foundation shakes 4. He rules the Sea with pow'r from high Dreadfull in Majesty 5. His voyce when He in fury speakes The lofty Cedars breaks 6. Like sporting Calves the Mountaines skip Great Lebanon doth leap And Syrion by his Motion borne Like a young Unicorne 7. His voyce the flames of fire divides From clouds when Lightning glides 8. At His rebuke the desart quakes And barren Kadesh shakes 9. Bring forth He makes the frighted Hinds Rends forrests with His Winds And all His glory must declare Who in His Temple are 10. God sits above the Watry maine Doth King for ever reigne 11. He will His peoples strength encrease And blesse them long with peace PSAL. XXX Sing this as the Lamentation 1 O Lord I Thee will magnifie For Thou hast lifted me on high Nor madest me a scorne to those Who were my lifes professed foes 2. O Lord my God I cry'd to Thee Who hast in mercy healed me My Soule Thou brough test from the grave And from the pit of Hell didst save 4. O all ye Saints your voyces raise To sing your Makers endlesse praise Remember still with thankes to blesse And magnifie His Holinesse 5. For but a Moment lasts His wrath His favour life restored hath Our weeping may endure a night But joy comes with the morning light 6. In my prosperity I said My bases are for ever lay'd I shall not from my place remove But stand supported by Thy love No change of times or fortunes hate Can overthrow my happy state For thou my Mountaine mad'st so strong I shall on earth continue long Yet whilst exalted in my thought I was to suddaine trouble brought And soon as Thou didst hide Thy face My comforts vanish'd hence apace 8. Then unto Thee O Lord did I With humble supplication cry I did to God my plaint addresse Thus powring forth my heavinesse 9. O Thou most Glorious most Good What profit is there in my blood What triumph canst Thou gaine by it When I goe downe into the pit Shall silent dust or darknesse have A tongue to praise Thee in the grave Or those in earth who closed are From their low Cells Thy truth declare 10. O Lord Thine eare of mercy lend And from Thy dwelling succour send 11. For Thou the cause for which I mourn'd Hast into Songs and Dances turn'd My Sack-cloath Thou didst off me take And cheerfull robes of gladnesse make 12. That I Thy praises might renew To whom incessant thankes are due PSAL. XXXI Sing this as the Lamentation 1. IN Thee O Lord I put my trust Save me from shame as Thou art just 2. Bow downe Thy gratious eare with speed Be Thou my strong defence at need 3. For Thou my Rock do'st me protect O for Thy Names sake me direct 4. Pull me from out the dang'rous net Which they for me have closely set 5. My spirit I to Thee commit For Thou O God did'st purchase it 6. I hate all those love vanities But on the Lord my trust relies 7. I joy in Thy compassion show'n Who hast my Soule in trouble know'n 8. Thou didst from hostile hands discharge To liberty my feet enlarge 9. Have mercy Lord and send reliefe Mine eye and soule both wast with griefe 10. Through sin I sigh away my dayes My bones consume my strength decayes 11. My foes reproach my neighbours fright I am whilâ—â— friends avoid my sight 12. Like to the dead I sit forgot And uselesse as a broken pot 13. For I their slander heard and strife Who counsaile took against my life 14. But Lord my trust in Thee is lay'd Thou art my God my help I said 15. My fleeting times are in Thy hand Whose short-liv'd date by Thee is span'd Me never to the pow'r expose Or hand of persecuting foes 16. On me O let Thy favour shine To save me through Thy grace incline 17. Thy servant let no shame befall Who daily on Thy Name doth call Let wicked men confusion have Put downe to silence in the grave 18. And shut the lying lips that use The just by slanders to traduce 19. O how great goodnesse hast thou wrought For those thee fear whose faith thee sought 20. Them shalt Thou in Thy presence hide Kept safe from mens insulting pride And from the tongues malitious strife As in a tow'r defend their life 21. Blessed be God whose love endures Whose strong protectâ—â—n me secures 22. I said though in my hast unwise I am cut off before Thine eyes Yet hast Thou not my suit deny'd When in my Pray'r to Thee I cry'd 23 O Love the Lord who His regards And with revenge the proud rewards 24. Be bold since He such grace imparts To strengthen both your hopes hearts PSAL. XXXII 1. BLessed is he whose wickednesse To pardon finds accesse Whose sin with all he did amisse Forgot and cover'd is 2. Blest is the man to whom The Lord Imputes no crime abhord Whose spirit right whose heart is streight And harbours no deceit 3. When I my tongue from speech refrain'd I was with anguish pain'd My bones wax't old through discontent My dayes in moanes were spent 4. Thy hand upon me heavy lay Not resting night or day My Moisture was to nothing brought Like fields in Summers drought 5. Then I to Thee my sin reveal'd And no offence conceal'd And soon as my confession said My peace with Thee was made 6. For this to Thee shall prayer sound What time Thou may'st be found Nor shall the floods which highest goe Thy servants overflow 7. Thou art a refuge me to hide From dangers troubled
So shalt thou dwelling have and food 4. Delight in Him and for thy hire He give thee will thy hearts desire 5. Commit thy selfe to his sole care By whom our actions crowned are 6. Thine innocence Hee 'l bring to light Cleare as the day or noon-tide bright 7. Rest then on Him nor 'gainst those fret Whose wicked projects prosper yet 8. And cease from wrath least anger may To greater evils thee betray 9. For wicked ones are cut away But good men long on earth shall stay 10. The Sinners vanish in short space Though sought thou shalt not find their place 11. Yet shall the meek unshaken stand Inheriting the promis'd land Their blessings here on earth encrease With plenty crown'd and lasting peace 12. Ill men with fury and despight By plots would circumvent th'upright 13. But God shall laugh and them defie Whose veng full day is comming nigh 14. Their sword is draw'n their bow is bent To slay the just is their intent 15. But by their sword themselves shall dy And all their bowes shall broken ly 16. A good mans lot though small is more Then wicked rich mens wealthy store 17. Destruction shall their armes enfold But God the righteous doth uphold 18. The Lord accounts the just mens age And will prolong their heritage 19. In evill times not sham'd nor griev'd In dayes of famine still reliev'd 20. But Gods enraged enemies Shall vanish as the Smoakes that rise Dissolv'd and melted into fume As doth the fat of Lambs consume 21. The wicked borrow but not pay The good both lend and give away 22. Such as be blest possesse the land The bad cut off and cursed stand Second Part. 23. A good mans steps God orders right Who doth in His commands delight 24. Though fallen he shall rise againe For God's right hand doth him sustaine 25. I have been young and now am old Yet never did my eyes behold The just forsaken or unfed Or see his children beg their bread 26. He mercy shewes and lends in need And ever blessed is his seed 27. Depart from evill and doe well That you with Him may ever dwell 28. God judgment loves His Saints not leaves But sinners of their race bereaves 29. The just His promis'd land possesse And dwell in endlesse Happinesse 30. In judgment and discourses wise A righteous mouth will exercise 31. Gods Law doth in his heart abide Nor shall his goings ever slide 32. Though wicked persons daily wait To shed his blood confederate 33. God lets him not condemned ly Or by a wrongfull sentence dy 34. Wait on the Lord and keep His way That He to life exalt thee may When thou the wicked men shalt see Cut off and quite extinguish'd be 35. I in great pow'r have ill ones seen Like spreading Lawrells fresh and green 36. Yet pass'd he by and soon was gone Not found againe nor thought upon 37. Marke the upright the just intend For such a man in peace shall end 38. But sinners to destruction cast Are in their death cut off at last 39. God to the righteous help doth raise He is their strength in troubled dayes His aid shall save them from th'unjust Because in Him they plant their trust PSAL. XXXVIII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. LOrd let me not in anger wast Nor Thy rebukes in fury tast 2. Thy piercing arrowes deeply wound Thy pressing hand doth me confound 3. My sickly body finds no ease Because my sinne doth Thee displease Nor will that guilt Thou dost detest Afford my troubled conscience rest 4. My sins like to a torrent grow'n My sinking head have overflow'n They burthen me with care and feare And are become too great to beare 5. My sores and wounds corrupted smell My foule offence and folly tell 6. Bow'd downe with trouble and forlorne By night I wake by day I mourne 7. My loynes diseas'd my flesh unsound And all my body seems one wound 8. I feeble am with anguish broake And roare beneath They heavy stroak 9. O Lord Thou know'st my whole desire My hidden groanes to Thee aspire 10. My heart doth pant my vigour dies Of light deprived are mine eyes 11. My friends who late professed love Far from my sore themselves remove My kindred my converses shun Nor come to comfort but look on 12. They who my life seek to ensnare Intent upon my mischiefes are With foule reproaches and false lies My ruin daily they devise 13. But I as those nor heare nor speake Did never into passion breake 14. No angry murmur from me fell Which might my griefes impatience tell 15. For I in Thee my trust repose To heare my moane and quell my foes 16. Who when my foot amisse did goe Triumphed at my overthrow 17. With woes opprest I daily fall My sorrowes are continuall And whilst my faults are in my view They do as oft my paine renew 18. I therefore will those sins confesse And with contrition beg redresse I will the guilt of my offence Wash off with teares of penitence 19. O Lord mine enemies are strong And live to do me further wrong Each day their number doth encrease Who are the haters of my peace 20. They also have against me stood Who make returnes of ill for good Yet know no cause for their despight But that I follow what is right 21. Therefore my sad request I make That Thou wilt never me forsake My God! O never far depart Who my releife and comfort art 22. My sighs and sorrowes look upon Thou God of my salvation Afford thy help in time of need And to my reskue come with speed PSAL. XXXIX 1. I Said my wayes I will intend And least my tongue offend My mouth shall bownd and bridled bee Whilst I the wicked see 2. I dumb awhile and silent stood Ev'n ceasing to speak good Untill at last my grieved heart Was urg'd with sorrowes smart 3. So that my heated breast became For lack of vent a flame And then my tongue these words exprest Breath'd forth from my disrest 4. Lord Let me understand my end How farr my dayes extend That I may know how I am fraile Each moment apt to faile 5. Behold Thou mad'st the dayes of man No longer then a span His age as nothing is and he At best but vanitie 6. Man like a shadow walkes in vaine Wasting his time with paine He heapes up riches yet not knowes What heire shall them dispose 7. And now O Lord on whom shall I Whilst I stay here rely Truly my hope shall wait on Thee My joyes there treasur'd be 8. Deliver me when I transgresse And help me in distresse Let not the foolish me deride Or scorne me in their pride 9. Under Thy scourge I silent lay Prepared to obay I did not murmur at my paine Or of Thy hand complaine 10. Yet now Thy mercies I invoke To take away Thy stroke For I consume and my faint breath Is yeelding up to death 11. When Thou for sin dost man
reliefe put far And those who my acquaintance were Conceal'd or lost my sight forbear PSAL. LXXXIX Sing this as Psalme 51. 1. MY Song thy mercies shall make know'n Thy truth to all succession 2. For They built up for ever last And are in Heav'n establish'd fast 3. I to my chosen David sware And did by Covenant declare 4. I stablish will thy seed alone And build to Thee a lasting Throne 5. The Heav'ns Thy wonders praise confesse And Saints procIaime thy faithfulnesse For who in earth or heaven are 6. Whose might can with the Lord compare 7. Fear'd by His Saints by them implor'd And by His servants still ador'd 8. O Lord of Hosts who is so strong Whose word like thine endures so long 9. Thou rul'st the Seas that rage and rise Whose swelling wave becalmed lies 10. Thou Rahah brak'st like one that 's dead Thine arme thy foes hath scattered 11. The Heav'ns are Thine with earth's encrease And all the fulnesse growes from these 12. The North South thy pow'r did frame Tahor and Hermon praise thy Name 13 Thy mighty arme is lifted high Thy right hand full of Majesty 14. Thy Throne hath justice for its base Mercy and Truth before Thy face 15. Blessed are they who at Thy Feasts And in Thy presence are the guests 16. They all the day rejoyce in Thee In righteousnes exalted be 17. Thy strength and glory them adorne Whose favour shall lift up our horne 18. The Lord to us doth safety bring Thy Holy one remaines our King 19. In visions Thou to Him hast said I on my chosen help have lay'd 20. I have my servant David found With Oyle annointed Him crown'd 21. Confirm'd and strength'ned by my arme I will protect his life from harme 22. No enemy on Him exact Nor hurt him shall by wicked pact 23. His foes beat down before him fly And shall by plagues consumed dy 24. My mercy yet to him assur'd Shall in his glory be secur'd Second Part. 26. His right hand lifted ore the maine Shall to the in-land rivers reigne 26. He crying in his prayers shall My God and Rock and Father call 27. I 'le make him heire my first begot Above earth's Kings advance his lot 28. To Him my mercy nere shall wast My Covenant stand ever fast 29. His seed shall long endure his Throne Like Heav'ns unweary'd motion 30. But if His Sons my Law forsake 31. Or my Commands and Statutes break 32. My rod shall punish their neglect My hand with stripes their sin correct 33. Yet shall my love to him prevaile 34. My Covenant nor change nor faile 35. To David have I sworne that I My promise would not falsify 36. His seed shall governe whil'st the sun About the world his course doth run 37. And like the Moon establish'd be The faithfull pledg of my decree 38. But thine annointed now thy wrath Cast off and quite abhorred hath 39. Thou voyd hast made the Cov'nant seal'd Profan'd his crowne his Rule repeal'd 40. His Bulwarks broke his senses torne 41. Make him his neighbour's spoyle scorne 42. Thou strength'ned ha'st his foes right hand That he in battail cannot stand 44. His sword wants edge His glory 's gone And to the earth cast down his throne 45. Thou short'ned hast his youth His fame Obscur'd and cover'd is with shame 46. Lord wilt Thou ever from us turne Or shall like fire thine anger burne 47. Remember yet how short my dayes How vaine man's life how soon decaies 48. What mortall lives who shall not dy And in the pit of silence ly 49. Where are thy mercies Lord the faith Thy oath to David plighted hath 50. Remember Lord thy servants shame How mighty people us defame 51. Thinke how thy foes have us abus'd And thine Annointed's steps traduc'd 52. Yet shall my soul how ere opprest Say evermore The Lord be blest PSAL. XC Sing this as the Lamentation 1. O Lord Thou ha'st our refuge been All ages have thy mercies seene 2. Before the lofty hills were made Or earth's unmov'd foundation lay'd From everlasting Thou art God And wilt out live times period 3. Thou turn'st to dust the Sons of men Then say'st Returne to life agen 4. A thousand yeares in thy account But to a day with us amount Nor are extended in thy sight Beyond the watch of one short night 5. Our time runs on like rapid streams We vanish as forgotten dreams 6. Like grasse or morning flowres we spring Then wither in the evening 7. When Thou displeased art we wast And unto nothing come at last 8. Thou mark'st our deeds our sins of night Are alwayes open to thy sight Making the breach of thy pure Lawes Our death and swift destructions cause 9. From whence we suddenly waxe old Expiring like a tale that 's told 10. The common Age of mortall men Exceeds not Threescore yeares and ten And if to Fourscore they attaine Their life is but a length'ned paine Incessant sorrowes and disease Their faculties and vigour seize For soon cut off our dayes decay And suddenly we flie away 11. But who regards Thy heauy wrath Or of Thy feare true feeling hath Neither Thy judgements nor Thy love Can us unto repentance move 12. Lord so our dayes to number teach We may the end of wisedome reach And learne those errours to forget Which us in Thy displeasure set 13 Returne O Lord and now repent At our endured punishment How long wilt Thou thy help delay Or not remove our woes away 14. O satisfy our Soule with joyes To recompense Lifes past annoyes 15. Afford us comfort for those yeares We were enforc'd to spend in teares 16. Lord Let Thy glorious work appeare Thy servants from the dust to reare That all succeeding times may know What praises to thy Name we owe. 17. O let thy beames of favour shine On those who in death's shade have ly'n Grant that for which we prayers make And prosper all we undertake PSAL. XCI 1. WHo so in God's protection dwell Abide secure and well For shadow'd by th' Almighties care Both soul and body are 2. I therefore to the Lord will say Thou art my hope and stay Thou art my refuge my strong hold Who do'st my faith embold 3. He shall preserve Thee from the net Which cunning hunters set Protecting thee by His defense In times of Pestilence 4. He over thee His wings shall spread With safety covered And least temptation make thee yield His truth shall be thy shield 5. The gastly terrours of the night Shall not thy peace affright Nor arrowes which by day do kill Thy life with slaughter spill 6. No tainted aire or noysome Pest Thy dwelling shall infest No perills which at noon destroy Thy safety shall annoy 7. Though Thousands or ten thousands dy'd Thick falling by thy side Thou shalt unhurt and guarded stand From sicknesse on each hand 8. Thine eye the wicked shall behold Unto destruction sold 9. Yet them nor feares nor dangers shake
