THat man hath perfect blessednesse who walketh not astray In counsell of ungodly men nor stands in sinners way Nor sitteth in the scorners chair But placeth his delight Upon Gods Law and meditates on his Law day and night He shall be like a tree that growes near planted by a river Which in his season yeelds his fruit and his leaf fadeth never And all he doth shall prosper well The wicked are not so But like they are unto the chaff which winde drives to and fro In judgement therefore shall not stand such as ungodly are Nor in th' assembly of the just shall wicked men appear For why the way of godly men unto the Lord is known Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be over-thrown PSAL.

To the chief musician on Neginoth A Psalm of David GIve ear unto me when I call God of my righteousnesse Have mercy hear my pray'r thou hast enlarg'd me in distresse O ye the sons of men how long will ye love vanities How long my glory turn to shame and will ye follow lies But know that for himself the Lord the godly man doth chuse The Lord when I on him do call to hear will not refuse Fear and sin not talk with your heart on bed and silent be Offrings present of righteousnesse and in the Lord trust ye O who will show us any good is that which many say But of thy countenance the light Lord lift on us alway Upon my heart bestow'd by thee more gladnesse I have found Than they ev'n then when corn and wine did most with them abound I will both lay me down in peace and quiet sleep will take Because thou onely

XXVII A Psalm of David THe Lord 's my light and saving health who shall make me dismaid My lifes strength is the Lord of whom then shall I be afraid When as mine enemies and foes most wicked persons all To eat my flesh against me rose they stumbled and did fall Against me though an host encamp my heart yet fearlesse is Though war against me rise I will be confident in this One thing I of the Lord desir'd and will seek to obtain That all dayes of my life I may within Gods house remain That I the beauty of the Lord behold may and admire And that I in his holy place may reverently enquire For he in his pavilion shall me hide in evill dayes In secret of his tent me hide and on a rock me raise And now ev'n at this present time mine head shall lifted be Above all those that be my foes and round encompasse me Therefore unto his tabernacle I 'le sacrifices bring Of joyfulnesse I 'le sing yea I to God will praises sing O Lord give ear unto my voice when I do cry to thee Upon me also mercy have and do thou answer me When thou didst say seek ye my face then unto thee reply Thus did my heart above all things Thy face Lord seek will I.

but thee O Lord alone And in the earth whom I desire beside thee there is none My flesh and heart doth faint and fail but God doth fail me never For of my heart God is the strength and portion for ever For lo those that are far from thee they quickly perish shall Them that a-whoring from thee go thou hast destroyed all But surely it is good for me that I draw near to God In God I trust that all thy works I may declare abroad PSAL. LXXIV Maschil of Asaph O God why hast thou cast us off is it for evermore Against thy pasture sheep why doth thine anger smoke so sore O call to thy rememberance thy congregation Which thou hast purchased of old still think the same upon The rod of thine inheritance which thou redeemed hast This Sion hill wherein thou hadst thy dwelling in times past To these long desolations thy feet lift do not tarry For all the ills thy foes have done within thy Sanctuary Amidst thy congregations thine enemies do roar Their ensigns they set up for signs of triumph thee before A man was famous and was had in estimation According as he lifted up his axe thick trees upon But all at once with axes now and hammers they go to And down the carved work thereof they break and quite undo They fired have thy Sanctuary and have defil'd the same By casting down unto the ground the place where dwelt thy Name Thus said they in their hearts Let us destroy them out of hand They burnt up all the Synagogues of God within the land Our signs we do not now behold there is not us among A prophet more nor any one that knows the time how long How long Lord shall the enemy thus in reproach exclaime And shall the adversary thus alwayes blaspheme thy Name Thy hand ev'n thy right hand of might why dost thou thus draw back O from thy bosome pluck it out for our deliverance sake For certainly God is my King ev'n from the times of old Working in midst of all the earth salvation manifold The sea by thy great pow'r to part asunder thou didst make And thou the dragons heads O Lord within the waters brake The Leviathans heads thou brake in pieces and didst give Him to be meat unto the folk in wildernesse that live Thou clave the fountain and the floud which did with streams abound Thou dry'dst the mighty waters up unto the very ground Thine onely is the day O Lord thine also is the night And thou alone prepared hast the sun and shining light By thee the borders of the earth were setled every where The summer and the winter both by thee created were That th' enemy reproached hath O keep it in record And that the foolish people have blasphem'd thy Name O Lord. Unto the multitude do not thy turtles soul deliver The congregation of thy poor do not forget for ever Unto thy covenant have respect for earths dark places be Full of the habitations of horrid crueltie O let not those that be opprest return again with shame Let those that poor and needy are give praise unto thy Name Do thou O God arise and plead the cause that is thine own Remember how thou art reproacht still by the foolish one Do not forget the voice of those that are thine enemies Of those the tumult ever grows that do against thee rise PSAL. LXXXV To the chief musician Al-taschith A psalm or song of Asaph TO thee O God do we give thanks we do give thanks to thee Because thy wondrous works declare thy great Name near to be I purpose when I shall receive the congregation That I shall judgement uprightly render to every one Dissolved is the land with all that in the same do dwell But I the pillars thereof do bear up and stablish well I to the foolish people said Do not deal foolishly And unto those that wicked are Lift not your horn on hie Lift not your horn on high nor speak with stubborn neck but know That nor from East nor West nor South promotion doth flow But God is Judge He puts down one and sets another up For in the hand of God most high of red wine is a cup It 's full of mixture he pours forth and makes the wicked all Wring out the bitter dregs thereof yea and they drink them shall But I for ever will declare I Jacobs God will praise All horns of lewd men I 'le cut off but just mens horns will raise PSAL. LXXVI To the chief musician on Neginoth A Psalm or song of Asaph IN Judah's land God is well known his Name 's in Israel great In Salem is his Tabernacle in Sion is his Seat There arrows of the bow he brake the shield the sword the war More glorious thou then hils of prey more excellent art far Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd they slept their sleep outright And none of those their hands did finde that were the men of might When thy rebuke O Jacobs God had forth against them past Their horses and their chariots both were in a dead sleep cast Thou Lord ev'n thou art He that should be fear'd and who is he That may stand up before thy sight if once thou angry be From heav'n thou judgement caus'd be heard the earth was still with fear When God to judgement rose to save all meek on earth that were Surely the very wrath of man unto thy praise redounds Thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds Vow to the Lord your God and pay all ye that near Him be Bring gifts and presents unto Him for to be fear'd is He. By Him the spirits shall be cut off of those that princes are Unto the Kings that are on earth He fearfull doth appear PSAL. LXXVII To the chief musician to Jeduthun A Psalm of Asaph UNto the Lord I with my voice I unto God did cry Ev'n with my voice and unto me his ear he did apply I in my trouble sought the Lord my sore by night did run And ceased not my grieved soul did consolation shun I to remembrance God did call yet trouble did remain And overwhelm'd my spirit was whiles I did sore complain Mine eyes debar'd from rest and sleep thou makest still to wake My trouble is so great that I unable am to speak The dayes of old to minde I call'd and oft did think upon The times and ages that are past full many years agone By night my song I call to minde and commune with my heart My sp'rit did carefully inquire how I might ease my smart For ever will the Lord cast off and gracious be no more For ever is his mercy gone fails his word evermore Is 't true that to be gracious the Lord forgotten hath And that his tender mercies He hath shut up in his wrath Then did I say that surely this is mine infirmitie I 'le minde the years of the right hand of Him that is most
Because the mighty gates of brasse in piece she did tear By him in sunder also cut the bars of iron were Fools for their sin and their offence do sore affliction bear All kinde of meat their soul abhors they to deaths-gates draw near In grief they cry to God he saves them from their miseries He sends his word them heals and them from their destructions frees O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodnesse then And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men And let them sacrifice to him off'rings of thankfulnesse And let them shew abroad his worke in songs of joyfulnesse Who go to sea in ships and in great waters trading be Within the deep these men Gods works and his great wonders see For he commands and forth in haste the stormie tempest flyes Which makes the sea with rouling waves aloft to swell and rise They mount to heav'n then to the depths they do go down again Their soul doth faint and melt away with trouble and with pain They reel and stagger like one drunk at their wits end they be Then they to God in trouble cry who them from straits doth free The storm is chang'd into a calm at his command and will So that the waves which rag'd before now quiet are and still Then are they glad because at rest and quiet now they be So to the haven he them brings which they desir'd to see O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodnesse then And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men Among the people gathered let them exalt his Name Among assembled Elders spread his most renowned fame He to dry land turns water-springs and floods to wildernesse For sins of those that dwell therein fat land to barrennesse The burnt and parched wildernesse to water-pools he brings The ground that was dry'd up before he turns to water springs And there for dwelling he a place doth to the hungry give That they a city may prepare commodiously to live There sow they fields and vineyards plant to yeeld fruits of increase His blessing makes them multiply le ts not their beasts decrease Again they are diminished and very low brought down Through sorrow and affliction and great oppression He upon Princes pours contempt and causeth them to stray And wander in a wildernesse wherein there is no way Yet setteth he the poor on high from all his miseries And he much like unto a flock doth make him families They that are righteous shall rejoice when they the same shal see And ashamed stop her mouth shall all iniquitie Who so is wise and will these things observe and them record Ev'n they shall understand the love and kindnesse of the Lord.

Amongst the tents of Ham ev'n these chief of their strength that were But His own people like to sheep thence to go forth He made And He amidst the wildernesse them as a flock did lead And He them safely on did lead so that they did not fear Whereas their enemies by the sea quite overwhelmed were To borders of His Sanctuary the Lord his people led Ev'n to the mount which His right hand for them had purchased The nations of Canaan by His Almighty hand Before their face He did expell out of their native land Which for inheritance to them by line He did divide And made the tribes of Israel within their tents abide Yet God most high they did provoke and tempted ever still And to observe His testimonies did not incline their will But like their fathers turned back and dealt unfaithfully Aside they turned like a bow that shoots deceitfully For they to anger did provoke Him with their places hie And with their graven images mov'd Him to jealousie When God heard this He waxed wroth and much loath'd Israel then So Shilohs tent He left the tent which He had plac'd with men And He his strength delivered into captivity He left his glory in the hand of his proud enemy His people also He gave over unto the swords fierce rage So sore His wrath inflamed was against his heritage The fire consum'd their choyce young men their maids no marriage had And when their priests fell by the sword their wives no mourning made But then the Lord arose as one that doth from sleep awake And like a gyant that by wine refresht a shout doth make Upon his enemies hinder parts He made his stroke to fall And so upon them He did put a shame perpetuall Moreover He the tabernacle of Joseph did refuse The mighty tribe of Ephraim He would in no wise chuse But He did chuse Jehudahs tribe to be the rest above And of mount Sion He made choise which He so much did love And He his Sanctuary built like to a palace hie Like to the earth which He did found to perpetuitie Of David that his servant was He also choise did make And even from the folds of sheep was pleased him to take From waiting on the ews with young He brought him for to feed Israel His inheritance His people Jacobs seed So after the integrity of his heart He them fed And by the good skill of His hands them wisely governed PSAL.
