O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 16.

And lands them on the wished shore 31. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodnes doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the Sons of men 32. In great assemblies bless his Name And 'mongst the Elders speak his fame 33. Who rivers like a desart dryes Makes parched sands where springs did rise 34. He barren makes a fruitfull ground For sins which in the Land abound 35. Then to a poole the desart brings And turns dry grounds to water springs 36. There He the hungry soules hath fill'd That they may live and Cities build 37. To plant the vine and sowe the field Which may hir fruits with plenty yield 38. He multiplies and gives them peace Their flocks not suff'ring to decrease 39. Againe they few when sinfull grow His punishments then brought them low 40. He mighty Princes put to scorne Makes them like wanderers forlorne 41. Yet setteth He the poor on high And spreads like flocks his family 42. The righteous will rejoyce to see When envies mouth shall stopped be 43. Who so is wise will hence record The loving kindnes of the Lord. PSAL. CVIII 1.

So let them cloath and gird him fast Returning on himself at last 20. Thus let the Lord reward my foes Who to reproach my soul expose 21. But for the mercies of Thy Name Deliver me O Lord from shame 22. For I am poor and prest with need My wounded heart doth inward bleed 23.

The Lord from Heaven downe did looke And view of all mans children tooke To see if any knowledge sought Or upon God would place his thought 3. But all of them are gone aside And in their filthinesse abide Throughout their numbers there is none That good performeth No not one 4. Do then all knowledge thus defy Those workers of iniquity Who eat my people up as bread And never God have worshipped 5. Affrighted they and stricken were With great amaze and sudden feare For God amongst the righteous race Is ever present by His Grace 6. The poore mans counsaile and his faith Your shamelesse malice mocked hath Because he God his refuge makes And sure protection from Him takes 7.

Thou only Who my portion ar't Shalt have the duties of my heart God fills my Cup and doth advance The lot of mine inheritance 6. My lines in pleasant places lay'd A wealthy heritage have made 7. Thee therefore will I ever bless Who gav'st me counsell in distress And by Thy warnings do'st invite My reines to serve Thee in the night 8. I set the Lord before mine ey And hold Him in my memory Whil'st He assists at my right hand I stedfast and unmoved stand 9. This glads my heart my Glory shall Rejoyce how low so ere I fall And in the grave my flesh shall rest With hope to Rise againe possest 10.

To God most prais'd I send my Cries Who saves me from mine enemies 4. When pangs of circling death prevail'd And floods of wicked men assail'd 5. I compass'd am with paines of Hell The snares of death about me dwell 6. To God I cry'd distrest and griev'd Who from His Temple me reliev'd 7. The earth then trembled at His wrath Which Hir foundations shaken hath 8. A smoake from out His nostrills came And from His mouth devouring flame 9. He bow'd the Heavens and came downe Beneath His feet was darknesse throw'n 10. On flying Cherubs He did ride 11. On wings of Wind through Heaven glide Thick darknesse His Pavilion made And watry Clouds the sky orelay'd 12. Yet at His brightnesse those gave place Whilst haile and fire powr'd down apace 13 His voyce was heard in thunders loud And coales fell from the breaking Cloud 14. His shafts dispers'd them as they flew Their force His darted lightnings slew 15. The Oceans Chanell did appear The world's foundations naked were At Thy rebuke O Lord and blast Which Thy incensed Nostrills cast 16. He me from many waters tooke 17. My too strong foes with vengeance strook 18. They me in day of trouble seiz'd But God my stay those sorrowes eas'd 19. He brought me to a spacious place Deliv'ring me through His free grace 20. He did my righteousnesse regard And cleannesse of my hands reward 21. For I the wayes of God have kept Nor wickedly His precepts left 22. His judgments I and statutes prize Still placing them before my eyes 23. I perfect was and innocent Nor to ungodly courses bent 24. Therefore as guiltlesse and upright I am rewarded in His sight Second Part. 25. Thou to the mercifull art kind 26. And pure where Thou dost purenesse find 27. But with the froward art perverse Dost save the poor the proud disperse 28. For thou my candle wilt make bright And turne my darknesse into light 29.

The Heav'ns bright host and all beneath He formed with His breath 7. He doth the waters of the deep Heap'd in His store-house keep 8. Let men and all which earth doth beare Of Him then stand in feare 9. He spake and at His free commands The world unmoved stands 10. Mens counsailes and devises wrought The Lord will bring to nought 11. Yet through all ages His decree And thoughts unchanged be 12. Blest is the People He protects And for His Lot elects 13.

XXXIV 1. I Will at all times blesse the Lord His praises still record 2 And whilst my soule of God makes choice The humble shall rejoyce 3. The Lord with me O magnifie Exalt His Name on high I sought Him who my prayer heard And sav'd from all I fear'd 5. They look'd to Him and light'ned were No shame their faces beare 6. For God did at the poor man's cry Relieve his misery 7. His Angell those environs round Who in His fear are sound 8. O tast and see how good is Hee To such as faithfull be 9. O fear the Lord yee Saints of His For such no blessings misse 10. Young Lions often lacking prey With hunger pine away But those that seek His Covenant No good thing ever want 11. Come children hearken to my speech I you His feare will teach 12. What man is he long life doth crave Or happy dayes would have 13. Keep thou thy tongue from wicked wile Thy lips from speaking guile 14. Depart from ill in good encrease Pursue and seek for peace 15. For on the just God casts His eyes His eares admit their cryes 16. Against the bad He sets his face To cut them from their place 17. The righteous cry and God attends In trouble safety sends 18. He doth in broken hearts delight And saveth soules contrite 19. Great troubles on the righteous fall But He releives in all 20. He keeps the number of each bone Nor broken shall be one 21.

The shield for my Protection weare Draw out Thy all-subduing speare Stop Thou my persecutors way Soule I am thy salvation say 4. Let them drove back with shame retire Who to procure my hurt conspire 5. Like chaffe before the Whirlwinds blast Let them be by God's Angell chas'd 6. Darke be their way their steps untrue And let His Angel them pursue 7. For without cause they hid their snare And for my soule did pits prepare 8. But let themselves surprised all In their contriv'd destruction fall 9. My soule in God shall joyfull be 10. My bones all say who 's like to Thee Who keep'st the poor from suff'ring wrong And help'st the needy 'gainst the strong 11. False witnesse did against me rise And things unknowne to me devise 12. For good they me reward with ill To spoile my soule and life to spill 13. Yet when they lay in sicknesse cast I did for them both pray and fast 14. As for my friend or brother borne Or for my Mother did I mourne 15. But of my trouble glad they joyn'd Yea abjects in my scorne combin'd 16. The mocking hypocrites at feasts By flowting me delight the guests 17. How long wilt Thou looke on O Lord Nor reskue to my soule afford O save me from destructions jawes My darling from the Lions pawes 18. Then in the great assembly I Will thanks and praises multiply 19. Let not insulting foes despise Or wink upon me with their eyes 20. They speake not peace but practise strife Disturbing those of quiet life 21. Their mouth 'gainst me they opened wide Ha ha our eye hath seene it cry'd 22.

How doth Thy love excell Thy wing Man-kind ore-shadowing 8. Thy house to them full plenty brings Who drinke of Thy pure springs 9. Thou hast lifes springs and in Thy sight We shall behold the light 10. Thy kindnesse Lord and grace impart To the upright in heart 11. Let not the foot of pride prevaile Nor wicked hands assaile 12.

Yet sav'd as oft their sins renew'd 44 But hearing their afflicted Cry He pitty'd their calamity 45. He most compassionate and kind His Covenant recall'd to mind And in his mercy did repent The sharpnes of their punishment 46. He made ev'n those with pity look Who Them before had captives took 47. Save us O Lord our God! protect And from the Heathen us collect To thank thy Name through all our daies And triumph in Thy mercies praise 48. O let the God of Israel Be blest whose benefits excell To Him be praises endless pay'd And let Amen by all be say'd PSAL. CVII Sing this as the Lamentation 1. O Thank the goodnes of our God Whose mercy knowes no period 2. Let Israel confess His hands 3. Have gather'd them from forraigne lands From North and South East and West 4. Where they no City had to rest But in the wildernes disperst 5. With hunger pin'd and faint with thirst 6. Then they their Cries to God address Who them deliver'd from distress 7. He them directed in his way To find a City for their stay 8. O then that men would praise the Lord Who such great goodness doth afford Recording both by tongue and pen His wonders to the sons of men 9. The longing soul He satiates still The hungry doth with goodness fill 10. Who sit in darkness and death's shade In iron and affliction lay'd 11. Because 'gainst God they did rebell And from His words
offer'd be My gratitude and pray'r shall rise Like thankfull sacrifice 18. The vowes shall be which I have made Before the people pay'd 19. Who in Thy house and sacred Courts To praise Thy Name resorts PSAL. CXVII 1. O All ye Nations record The Praises of the Lord Ye people through the Universe Your Makers praise rehearse 2.

O Thank the goodness of our God Whose mercy knowes no period 2. Let Israel their voices joyne 3. Let those who come from Aarons loyne 4. Let all who feare the Lord confesse His mercies everlastingnesse 5. I call'd upon Him when distrest Who me enlarged and releast 6 The Lord Himselfe is on my side I fearlesse mans attempts abide 7 He takes their part who succour me I shall my haters ruin'd see 8. 'T is bettet in the Lord to trust Than leane on man who is but dust 9. Better rely on His defense Then put in Princes confidence 10. All Nations me encompass'd round But His great Name shall them confound 11. They closely set against me came But I destroy'd them in His Name 12. Like bees they thick about me swarm'd Yet through His Name I was unharm'd As kindled Thorns which blazing dy They quenched in their ashes ly 13. Though pressing foes my fall assay'd The Lord Himself became may aid 14. God is my health my strength my song 15. Lowd joyes the Righteous are among 16. For God's Right hand 's lift up on high His Right hand acts most valiantly 17. I shall not dy but live to praise And speake His wonders all my daies 18. Although the Lord me chast'ned sore He unto death not gave me ore 19. Open His sacred Gates that I With praise the Lord may glorify 20. This is the Gate through which the just And righteous Persons enter must 21. Thee wil I thank who heard'st my voice And mak'st me in Thy help rejoyce 22. That stone the builders from them lay'd The Head is of the Corner made 23. This is Gods act which in our eyes Religious wonder multiplies 24. This is the day the Lord hath made We will rejoyce in it be glad 25. Save now and prosper we intreat O Lord who art as good as great 26. He blessed be comes in His Name We blessings from God's house proclaime 27. God is the Lord whose light hath shin'd Pure Off'rings to His Altar bind 28. Thou art my God I Thee will praise And in my Song Thine honour raise O thank the goodnesse of our God Whose mercy knowes no period PSAL. CXIX ALEPH. 1.

NOw Israel This truth may gladly tell But that the Lord Did help to us afford 2 If He our side With strength had not supply'd When banding foes Against our safety rose 3. Their kindled ire Had swallow'd us like fire 4. The angry flood Had then above us stood Who by the streame Quite overwhelm'd had been 5.

The wrath which in their breasts did strive Had buried us alive Consuming both our Place and Name In their revenges flame 4. Our Life and what we most esteem Had perisht in this stream 5. And in the furious billowes womb Beheld our glories tomb 6. But let our God be alwayes prais'd Who thus from death us rais'd Nor made us subject to their pow'r Who sought us to devour 7. From danger resku'd is our soule Like some net-scaping fowle So broken is the bloody snare And we deliver'd are 8.
