Instructions concerning the Gamut.  
IN the First Column of your Gamut, you have the Names of the several Lines and Spaces. In the Second, you have the Notes to each Line and Space, and their Names as they are to be Sung when Mi is Bmi.  
In the Third, you have the Notes to each Line and Space, and their Names as they are to be Sung when Mi is in Ela.  
In the Fourth and last Column you have the Notes to each Line and Space, and their Names as they are to be Sung when Mi is in Alamire.  
Secondly, you see the Lines of your Gamut are divided into three Five, expressing the Three several Parts in Music (viz.) Treble, Tenor and Bass: And upon one of these Five Lines in every Part, you will find a particular Mark or Character called a Cliff; by which you may know exactly how to call every Note, that is placed upon the five Lines, or Spaces; for upon the fourth Line from the bottom, which is Ffaut, you will see this Mark 𝄢 which is called the Bass or Ffaut Cliff; because it is placed upon Ffaut: And upon the Second Line above it you will see this Mark 𝄡 which is called the Tenor or Csolfaut Cliff. And upon the Second Line above that you will find▪ this Mark 𝄞 which is called the Gsolreut or Treble Cliff.  
Now take any of the Five Lines which you see Tied or Braced together out of the Scale, and you'll find these several Cliffs placed as follows: The Bass upon the upper Line but one of the Five. The Tenor upon the middle Line of the Five, and the Treble upon the lower Line but one of the Five,  
Now as I said before, by these Cliffs you may know exactly how to name your Notes when you see them pricked down, either in Treble, Tenor, or Bass. But that you may the better understand them, I'll lay before you these following Examples in the Three several Cliffs.  

The First Example in the Treble or Gsolreut Cliff.  
Sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, la, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, la, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy,   

The Second Example in the Tenor, or Csolfaut Cliff.  
la, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi,   

The Third Example in the Bass, or Ffaut Cliff.  
fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa▪  
Thirdly, You may here observe by these Examples that Mi is the principal or Master-Note, which leads you to know all the rest; for having found out that, the other follows in course. And this Mi, as I have already shown, has its being in Three several places. The first of them you see is in Bmi, but if a Flat, which is known by this Mark (♭) be set in that place, than it is removed into its second place, which you see is Elami; and if a Flat be also set in that place, than it is removed into its Third place, which you see is Are or Alamire: so that in which of these places you find it, the next Notes above it Ascending (as you may see in the foregoing Examples) are called Fa, sol, lafoy, Fa, sol, lafoy; and than you see the next Note is called Mi again: In like manner the next Notes below it Descending are called La, sol, fa, Lafoy, sol▪ fa, and then you see the next Note is called Mi again, for it is found but once in eight Notes Ascending or Desecending.  
Now I proceed to the first Example of Tuning the Voice, or a Lesson of Plain Song upon Five Lines in the Treble, or Gsolreut Cliff, consisting of eight Notes gradually Ascending and Descending.  
Sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, sol, fa, lafoy, sol, fa, mi, lafoy, sol,  
Now you are to observe when a Sound is given to the first Note, which is called Sol, you are then to rise to Lafoy (as the next in order above it) one whole Tone or Sound, and another whole Tone to Mi: From Mi to Fa is but half a Tone; From Fa to Sol, and Sol to La, are whole Tones; From La to Fa, but half a Tone; From Fa to Sol a whole Tone; And you might Ascend, if your Voice would permit you, Ten Thousand Octaves in the same Order as this one. The difference between whole Tones and half Tones either rising or falling, are easily distinguished; for all whole Tones are cheerful to the Ear, but half Tones are melancholy; and you'll always meet with two half Tones (either rising or falling) within the compass of Eight Notes, and those two are called Fa: For to rise from Bmi to Csolfa, and from Ela to Ffaut, are melancholy Sounds; Also to fall from Ffaut to Ela, and from Csolfa to Bmi are melancholy sounds.  
Now for fear you should not Sing these Notes in Tune at the first, you ought to get the Assistance of a Person, either skilled in the Voice or Instrument, and let him Sing or Play your Eight Notes over with you, till you can retain the sound in your Memory so well, as you may be able to do it without him: And when you are perfect in this first Example, here is a second Example a little harder which is called Thirds▪ because of the skipping from the first Note to the Third, and so missing a Note upon every Key as you rise and fall.  
sol, mi, lafoy, fa, mi, sol, fa, lafoy, lafoy, fa, sol, mi, fa, lafoy, mi, sol,  
But for fear you should not rightly understand what I mean by skipping a Note, I have set you a third Example, thus: Sol, lafoy, mi, sol, mi, lafoy, mi, fa, lafoy, fa, mi, fa, sol, mi, sol, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, lafoy, lafoy, sol, fa, lafoy, fa, sol, fa, mi, sol, mi▪ fa, mi, lafoy, fa, lafoy, mi, lafoy, sol, mi, sol.  
You see now from the first Note of this Example you Ascend three Notes gradually, as you were Taught before in your Eight Notes, and then you fall to your first again, then leaving out the second Note which should be Alamire, you skip from the first to the third, or from Gsolreut to Bfabemi, which will be the same thing with the Second Example, called Thirds: And the same Method you must observe in the rest of this Example: Also the like must be done with Fourths, Fifths, Sixths, Sevenths, and Eighths, As you may see in this Fourth Example, wherein these several Leaps, or Skipping in general are proved.  
Sol, lafoy, mi, sol, mi, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, fa, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, sol, sol Sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, sol, lafoy, sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, fa Sol, lafoy, mi, fa, sol, lafoy, fa, sol, sol, sol, sol, fa, lafoy, sol, lafoy, sol, fa, lafoy, sol, sol, sol, sol, fa, lafoy, sol, fa, sol, fa, Sol, fa, lafoy, sol, fa, mi, sol, mi, sol, fa, lafoy, sol, fa, mi, lafoy, sol, lafoy, Sol, fa, lafoy, sol, fa, mi, lafoy, sol, sol, sol,  
I shall now proceed to give you some Instruction in the Flats and Sharps, which are two Characters of a different Quality, and much used in Music.  
A Flat is known upon a Line or Space by this mark (♭) and a Sharp by this (♯) and the use of them are to Flat and Sharp any Note they are placed before.  
As for Example.  
Suppose you were singing your Eight Notes, and when you come to Csolfa, or the first Fa above your Mi you should find a Sharp in that Space, you must not Sing it as I directed you in your first Example of Tuning the Voice, where I told you it was but half a Note or Tone above your Mi, but you must sing it a whole Tone above your Mi, for the Quality of a Sharp is to raise any Note it is Placed before half a Note or Tone higher, (or to speak like a Musician) sharper than it was before. Also when you descend to a Sharp, as from Ela, to Dlasol, or from Alamire to Gsolreut, and a Sharp, should be in Dlasol or Gsolreut, than you are to fall but half a Note, which is a Melancholy sound, as I before told you all half Notes were, either rising or falling, and consequently you may easily distinguish whether you sound it right or not, for it is like falling from Ffaut to Ela, or from Csolfa to Bfabemi.  
A Flat, when it is placed before any Note which you should sound a whole Tone or Note higher than the Note immediately before it, obliges you to sound it but half so high, in the same manner as from Bfabemi to Csolfa, or from Ela to Ffaut.  
Observe also, that when these Flats or Sharps are placed at the beginning of your five Lines immediately after your Cliff, they serve to all the Notes that shall happen in that Line or Space where you see them placed, unless it is contradicted by a Flat or Sharp placed before that Note which the Composer has a mind should be so: And when they are not placed at the beginning, they serve only to those Notes they are placed before. To conclude: I have made it my Endeavour so to perfect and finish this Work, that nothing should be wanting to render it useful to the End it is designed.

The Psalms of David in Metre.  

Psalm I.  
David's Tune.  

Bless -- sed, O bessed Man is he  
that shans the Sin -- ners way:  
the coun -- sell and the come -- pa -- ny  
of such as go a -- stray:  
The scorner's seat that hath abhorred:  
verse 2 but sets his whole de— light  
Upon the Law of God the Lord,  
and minds it day and night.   

verse 3 He shall be like a Tree, whose Root  
is planted near a River;  
Which in his season brings forth fruit,  
whose leaf shall never wither.  
And all he doth is blest of God.  
verse 4 Th'ungodly are not so;  
But are like chaff dispersed abroad,  
when stormy wind doth blow,   

verse 5 Therefore th'ungodly never must,  
nor may the sinner stand  
In Congregation of the just,  
when Judgement goes in hand.  
verse 6 For lo, the way of men upright  
the Lord with favour knows:  
Whereas the ways shall perish quite  
Wherein the sinner goes.    

PSALM I.  
Metre 2. To the 148 Psalm Tune.  

THrice bless -- sed Men are they  
that no bad coun -- sells hear;  
Nor walk in Sin -- ners way;  
Nor sit in scorn -- ers' Chair,  
But with de-light do mind the word  
of God the Lord, both day and night.   

verse 3 Such shall be like a tree  
by Rivers spreading root  
Which when his seasons be,  
brings forth his pleasant fruit;  
Whose leaf likewise, is always seen  
most fresh and green, and never dies.   

And whatsoever deed  
he puts his hand unto,  
Shall Prosper and succeed,  
verse 4 As shall no sinners do:  
For surely they, shall be like Chaff  
which winds blow off, and drive away.   

verse 5 Therefore th' ungodly race  
in judgement shall not stand,  
Nor sinners have a place  
with Saints at Christ's right hand.  
verse 6 For God well knows, the just men's path,  
but theirs in wrath, he overthrows.    

Psalm II.  
Windsor Tune.  

WHy rage the hea -- then fu --- rous-ly?  
and peo -- ple plot vain things?  
The earth-ly Kings their powers ap -- ply,  
and ru --- lers' with the Kings.  
God and his Christ oppose they do,  
and thus presume to say;  
verse 3 Come, let us break their bands in two,  
and cast their cords away.   

verse 4 But lo the Lord that dwells on high,  
and doth in heaven abide,  
Shall laugh at this conspiracy,  
and their attempts deride.  
verse 5 Then shall he also speak to those  
in wrath, and furious heat:  
And very sorely vex his foes;  
in his displeasure great▪   

verse 6 Yet have I set my king, saith he,  
upon my holy hill,  
Enthroned with glorious dignity,  
to reign in Zion still.  
verse 7 I'll publish the decree, and say,  
the Lord hath said to me,  
Thou art my son, and lo, this day  
I have begotten thee.   

verse 8 Ask me, and I will give to thee  
the privilege of thy birth:  
For thine shall all the nations be,  
and utmost parts on earth.  
verse 9 Thine iron rod shall crush them all;  
and thou shalt lift it up  
To dash thy foes in pieces small,  
like to a potters cup.   

verse 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings  
ye judges of the land,  
Be well instructed in the things  
ye ought to understand.  
verse 11 See that you do yourselves employ  
in Gods true service here:  
Mix trembling always with your joy,  
and worship him in fear.   

verse 12 O kiss the son of God, I say,  
lest ye excite his wrath:  
And so be made to miss the way,  
and perish from the path.  
For if his anger ne'er so small,  
be kindled in his breast,  
Then happy, happy are they all  
that on their Saviour rest.    

Psalm III.  
Lincoln Tune.  

O Lord, how much do they in-crease,  
that rise to trou -- ble me?  
And they that do di-sturb my peace,  
how ma ---- ny, Lord, they be?  
How ma --- ny of my soul have said,  
(pre --- su --- ming to pre -- sage)  
There is for him no hope of aid.  
though God him --- self engage?   

verse 3 But thou, O Lord, art my defence,  
when I am hard bestead:  
My glory and magnificence,  
and thou hold'st up my head.  
verse 4 My prayer to thee I did address,  
and cried to God most high:  
And from his hill of holiness  
he heard me graciously.   

verse 5 I laid me down most quietly,  
I slept and rose again:  
Because I knew assuredly  
the Lord did me sustain.  
verse 6 And though ten thousand of my foes  
were round about me laid,  
And came on purpose to oppose,  
I will not be afraid.   

verse 7 Rise, Lord my God, on thee I call,  
save thine anointed one,  
For thou hast smote mine enemies all  
upon the bare cheekbone:  
Thou brok'st the teeth of impious men.  
verse 8 Salvation comes from thee  
Upon thy chosen people then,  
thy blessing sure shall be.    

Psalm IU.  
St. mary Tune.  

HEar me, O God my right'ousness,  
when I to thee re -- pair:  
Thou hast en -- larged me from di-stress,  
in mer --- cy hear my prayer.  
verse 2 O sons of men how long will ye  
my dignity despise?  
How long will ye love vanity,  
and follow after lies?   

verse 3 But know that God makes special choice  
of saints for his own sake:  
And he will surely hear my voice,  
when I my prayers make.  
verse 4 Then stand in awe, and cease to sin,  
but set yourselves apart:  
And silent on your beds begin  
to commune with your heart.   

verse 5 For incense offer innocence,  
and righteousness present:  
And wholly put your confidence  
in God omnipotent.  
verse 6 Who'll show us any good? they say,  
many are muttering thus;  
Thy countenance, O Lord, display,  
and let it shine on us.   

verse 7 For thou hast made this heart of mine  
more joyful and more glad,  
Then when they brought in corn and wine,  
and great increase have had.  
verse 8 In peace therefore will I lie down  
and take my rest full well:  
For thou, O Lord, and thou alone  
dost make me safely dwell.    

Psalm V.  
Lowath Tune.  
O Lord, un -- to my words give ear,  
my me --- di --- ta --- tion weigh.  
My King, my God, my cry -- ing hear,  
for un --- to thee I pray.  
verse 3 At morning thou shalt hear my cry?  
at morning I'll direct  
My prayer unto thee on high,  
and patiently expect.  
verse 4 For thou art not a God that will  
with sin delighted be,  
No wickedness nor any ill  
shall ever dwell with thee.  
verse 5 Within the view of thy pure eye  
the foolish shall not rest:  
All workers of iniquity  
thy nature doth detest.  
verse 6 Thou shalt destroy them that are prone  
to utter tales and lies:  
God will abhor the bloody one,  
and such as fraud devise.  
verse 7 But to thy house will I draw near,  
in thine abundant grace:  
And worship in thy holy fear,  
towards thy holy place.  
verse 8 Lord, lead me in thy righteousness,  
because of all my foes;  
And thy straight paths, lest I transgress,  
before my face disclose.  
verse 9 For in their mouth no truth appears,  
their heart with mischief throngs:  
Their throats are open sepulchers,  
they flatter with their tongues.  
verse 10 Destroy them, Lord, destroy them all  
let them be overthrown,  
And into just destruction fall,  
by counsels of their own,  
And let them be cast out and quelled  
for their excessive sin:  
For they have wickedly rebelled  
against the Lord therein.  
verse 11 But let, O Lord, all those rejoice  
that put their trust in thee:  
Let them with shouts lift up their voice,  
and ever joyful be.  
Let them likewise that love thy name,  
which is their confidence,  
Be ever joyful in the same,  
since thou art their defence.  
verse 12 For to the righteous man no doubt  
thou wilt thy blessing yield:  
And ever compass him about  
with favour, as a shield.   

Psalm VI.  
Bristol Tune.  
O Lord, my God, re -- book me not  
when thou shalt an --- gry be.  
When thy displeasure wax-eth hot,  
then do not cham -- sten me.  
verse 2 O Lord, have mercy on my soul,  
for I am wondrous weak:  
Lord, I beseech thee make me whole,  
for even my bones do break.  
verse 3 My soul is also vexed sore;  
but Lord how long a space?  
verse 4 Return, O Lord, my soul restore,  
and save me of thy grace.  
verse 5 For none can praise or think, on thee  
when dead in grave they lie:  
verse 6 And now my groaning wearieth me,  
so near to death am I.  
All night I make my bed to swim,  
my couch with tears overflows:  
verse 7 Mine eyes consumed with grief wax dim,  
because of all my foes.  
verse 8 Ye workers of iniquity,  
go from me every one:  
For God hath heard me graciously,  
when I did weep and moan.  
verse 9 The supplications which I made  
the Lord did entertain:  
And he that heard me when I prayed,  
will hear me yet again.  
verse 10 Let all mine enemies therefore  
be vexed with shame thereby:  
Let them return, and be full sore  
ashamed suddenly.   

Psalm VII.  
Martyr's Tune.  
O Lord, my God, I do re-pose  
my con --- fi -- dence in thee:  
O save me from my fu -- rious foes  
and now de --- li -- ver me.  
verse 2 Jest like a lion he should tear,  
and piece-meal rend my soul;  
While there is no deliverer  
his fury to control.  
verse 3 O Lord my God, if I did this,  
if my hands be not free,  
verse 4 If I rewarded him amiss  
that was at peace with me;  
Yea Lord, I have delivered,  
and let him safely go,  
That without cause hath injured  
and used me as a foe.  
verse 5 Else let my foe pursue to slay,  
and take my soul unjust:  
Let him tread down my life and lay  
mine honour in the dust.  
verse 6 Rise, Lord, in wrath thyself address,  
because mine enemies' rage:  
Awake for me in righteousness,  
even as thou didst engage.  
verse 7 So shall the congregation close  
about thee generally:  
Return then for the sakes of those,  
and sit inthorned on high.  
verse 8 The Lord shall judge the people sure:  
judge me, O Lord, likewise,  
According as my heart is pure  
and upright in thine eyes,  
verse 9 Set wickedness her period,  
but establish steadfastly  
The righteous men, O righteous God,  
who heart and reins dost try.  
verse 10 And my defence, even all I crave,  
is of the Lord alone;  
Who always will be sure to save  
the upright-hearted one.  
verse 11 God judgeth righteous men, be sure;  
and God, though he delay,  
Is angry with the wicked doer,  
yea, doubtless every day,  
verse 12 Unless he speedily repent,  
his glittering sword is whet:  
His angry bow the Lord hath bend,  
and hath it ready set.  
verse 13 He hath prepared deadly darts,  
determining to shoot  
Sharp arrows at the viperous hearts  
of those that persecute.  
verse 14 Behold he traveleth in birth  
with his iniquity,  
Conceiving mischief, and brings forth  
no better than a lie.  
verse 15 He made a pit and digged it,  
and mighty pains did take:  
And now is fallen into the Pit  
which he himself did make.  
verse 16 Upon his own head shall reboun  
his mischiefs, spite and hate:  
His violent dealing shall come down  
and light upon his pate.  
verse 17 Unto the Lord give thanks will I  
for all his righteous ways:  
And to the name of God most high  
sing cheerful songs of praise.   

Psalm VIII.  
St. mary Tune.  
O Lord, our Lord, how ex -- cellent  
is thy name eve --- ry where!  
Behold thou hast thy glow --- ry placed  
a -- 'bove the star --- ry sphere.  
verse 2 Weak babes and sucklings thou hast sent,  
thy power and praise to show  
To still thereby the Enemy,  
and the avengeful foe.  
verse 3 When I behold attentively  
the heavens which thou didst frame,  
The moon on high and starry sky,  
which by thine ordinance came:  
verse 4 What's man or man's posterity?  
think I; what wondrous love,  
He should of thee remembered be,  
or vis'ted from above?  
verse 5 For thou hast made him little lower  
than Angels in degree:  
And didst him crown with great renown,  
and glorious dignity.  
verse 6 Thou mad'st him have dominion o'er  
the works which thou hast wrought,  
And by thy care all creatures are  
to his subjection brought.  
verse 7 All oxen, sheep and fowl, with these,  
and cattle him obey:  
What e'er the field or air can yield,  
and fishes of the Sea:  
verse 8 What e'er is in the paths of Seas,  
or passeth through the same,  
verse 9 O Lord our Lord, all Lands record  
the glory of thy name.   

Psalm VIII.  
Metre 2. To the 148 Psalms Tune  
O Lord, our Sovereign Lord,  
of how ex -- cel -- lings worth  
Thy Name must we Re -- cord  
in all the spa-cious Earth?  
Whose glow -- ry bears a stamp Divine,  
with beams to shine a -- 'bove the spheres  
verse 2 Out of the Infant mouth  
of babes and sucklings small,  
Thou hast ordained thy truth  
with strength to conquer all:  
To lay them low, that bear ill will,  
and for to still, th'fat foe.  
verse 3 Thy heavens there on high,  
when, Lord, I think upon:  
verse 4 The Moon and Starry Sky,  
the Works which thou hast done:  
Lord, what is Man, or what's his Seed,  
that thou shouldst heed, so poor a span?  
verse 5 Thou madest him to be  
of an inferior state  
To Angels in degree  
yet to participate:  
And didst him Crown, with Glory great,  
to sit in seat, of high Renown.  
verse 6 Thou gav'st him absolute  
dominion over all:  
And all things at his feet  
in bound obedience fall,  
To him they yield, all Oxen, Sheep,  
and beasts that keep, i'th'open field.  
verse 7 The fowls of all the Air,  
and Fishes of the Seas:  
Which have a thoroughfare  
to pass there as they please:  
O Lord our Lord, th' excelling fame  
of thy great Name, all lands Record.   

Psalm IX.  
London Tune  
O Lord I'll praise thy ho --- lie name  
with true and hear --- ty zeal:  
Thy won-drous works will I pro-claim,  
and none of them con-ceal.  
verse 2 In thee with gladness I'll rejoice,  
and to thy Name will I  
In songs of praise lift up my voice,  
O thou that art most high.  
verse 3 When as mine adversaries shall  
be turned back with shame,  
Even at thy presence they shall fall;  
and perish by the same.  
verse 4 For thou, O Lord, thou shalt alone  
maintain my righteous cause:  
Thou sitest in thy righteous throne,  
to judge by righteous laws.  
verse 5 Thou hast rebuked heathen men,  
the wicked are destroyed:  
Thou hast put out the name of them,  
and made it ever void.  
verse 6 O en'my, all's accomplished,  
destructions now are done:  
The cities thou hast ruined,  
they and their mem'ry's gone.  
verse 7 But God the true eternal one,  
for ever shall abide:  
He hath prepared his Princely throne,  
just judgement to decide.  
verse 8 And he will judge the world alone  
in justice faithfully:  
And minister to every one  
in truth and equity.  
verse 9 The Lord moreover will become  
a refuge for th'oppressed:  
In times extremely troublesome,  
he'll be a place of rest.  
verse 10 In thee will all men trust repose,  
that know thy faithful name:  
For thou hast not forsaken those  
that duly seek the same.  

The second part.  
verse 11 Sing praises to the holy one,  
that doth in Zion dwell:  
The glorious deeds that he hath done  
among the people tell.  
verse 12 When he inquireth narrowly  
for blood which they have spilt;  
He calls to mind the poor men's cry,  
and their oppressors guilt.  
verse 13 Lord, pity me, think on my grief  
caused by mine enemies' hate,  
Thou that dost raise me with relief,  
from deaths destructive gate.  
verse 14 That I in Zions daughter's gates  
may all thy praise record;  
For thy salvation consolates  
my thankful heart, O Lord.  
verse 15 The heathen sink into the pit  
that they themselves prepared:  
And in the net that they did set,  
are their own feet ensnared.  
verse 16 The Lord is known in these affairs,  
by judgements which are wrought:  
When sinners hands do make the snares  
wherewith themselves are caught.  
verse 17 The wicked shall be turned to hell,  
people of every kind;  
Even all that on the earth do dwell,  
that have not God in mind.  
verse 18 For needy souls may well be sure  
not still to be forgot:  
The expectations of the poor  
for ever perish not.  
verse 19 Up Lord, and let not men have leave  
still to prevail by might:  
But let the heathen folk receive  
their judgement in thy sight.  
verse 20 And strike them, Lord, with fear so far;  
that all the nations than  
May know themselves (whoer'e they are)  
to be but mortal men.    

Psalm X.  
Lincoln Tune.  
WHy dost thou, Lord, stand off so far,  
and seemest thyself to hide:  
And seest what troublous times here are,  
and what op -- pres -- sing pride?  
Wherewith the wick-ed hunt the poor,  
O let them be sur -- prized;  
Caught in the snare they thought so sure  
and which them -- selves de -- vised.  
verse 3 For of his hearts ungodly lusts,  
the wicked boasts, O Lord:  
And he doth bless the covetous,  
that is of thee abhorred.  
verse 4 He seeks not after God a jot,  
such is his haughty pride:  
In all his thoughts God cometh not,  
but is indeed denied:  
verse 5 He ever loves to tyrannize,  
judgement he counts far off.  
He puffs at all his enemies,  
with a disdainful scoff.  
verse 6 He saith in heart, I know that I  
shall never be displaced:  
Nor of the least adversity  
at any time shall taste.  
verse 7 His mouth is full of blasphemy,  
of fraud, deceit and wrong:  
Mischievousness and vanity  
sit underneath his tongue.  
verse 8 In villages he sits obscure,  
the innocent to slay:  
His eyes are bend against the poor,  
but in a private way.  
verse 9 He lion-like lurks in his den,  
waiting to catch the poor:  
He draws him to his net, and then  
he takes him to be sure.  
verse 10 He croucheth and doth lowly bend,  
humbling himself withal:  
That so the poor man in the end  
by his strong ones may fall.  
verse 11 He saith in heart God hath forgot,  
he hides away his eyes,  
And willingly beholds it not:  
but, O Lord God, arise.  
verse 12 Forget not, but thy hand forth stretch  
for poor men undertrod:  
verse 13 O wherefore should a wicked wretch  
contemn th'almighty God?  
It shall not be required at all,  
thus speaks he in his heart;  
verse 14 But of their mischief spite and gall,  
thou Lord, a witness art:  
And what thou seest shall surely be  
by thy just hand repaid.  
The poor commits himself to thee,  
thou art the orphans aid.  
verse 15 The arm of tyrant's merciless,  
Lord break in sunder quite:  
Search out his sin and wickedness,  
till all be come to light.  
verse 16 God reigneth an eternal King,  
by whose revenging hand  
The heathen people perishing,  
are banished from his land.  
verse 17 Lord, the desire of humble men  
hath pierced thine easy ear:  
An heart thou wilt prepare us then  
and cause thine ear to hear;  
verse 18 To judge the poor and fatherless,  
that are oppressed so sore:  
That earthly men may not oppress;  
nor vex them any more.   

Psalm XI.  
Lowath Tune.  
I Put my confidence' in God,  
why there -- fore do ye say,  
That as a bird un -- to her hill,  
my soul shall hast a -- way?  
verse 2 For lo, the wicked bend their bow,  
and fit their shafts with art  
Upon their strings, to shoot unseen  
at the upright in heart.  
verse 3 If the foundation verily  
be ruined and destroyed;  
Alas! what can the righteous do,  
the danger to avoid?  
verse 4 The Lord is in his holy place,  
his throne's in heaven on high;  
His eyes behold the sons of men,  
and try them narrowly.  
verse 5 By him the righteous man is tried,  
the wicked man abhorred:  
And he that loveth violence  
is hated of the Lord.  
verse 6 On sinners he shall rain down snares,  
and they must all drink up  
Brimstone and fire and horrid storms,  
the portion of their cup.  
verse 7 For God most righteous ever doth  
in righteousness delight:  
And with a pleased countenance  
beholdeth the upright.   

Psalm XII.  
Windsor Tune.  
O Lord, put to thy help-ing hand,  
for now the god --- lie cease:  
The faithful peo -- ple of the Land  
ex-ceed -- ing --- lie de -- crease.  
verse 2 Men generally speak vanity  
unto their friends apart:  
Their conference slips from flattering lips,  
and from a double heart.  
verse 3 The lips that utter flatter,  
the Lord will cut away:  
And tongues that speak presumptuous things:  
for thus they boast and say,  
verse 4 We shall not fail but to prevail,  
with tongue and lips most free:  
They are in our peculiar power;  
for who are Lords but we?  
verse 5 Now for th'oppression of the poor,  
and sighs of needy souls,  
I'll rise, saith God, and him secure  
from scornful foes controls  
verse 6 And we are sure God's words are pure,  
as silver from the mines  
In furnace tried and purified  
no less than seven times.  
verse 7 Thy people, Lord, shall be assured,  
preserved by thy grace:  
They shall for ever be secured  
from this ungodly race.  
verse 8 But all the while the base and vile  
are set in place of power:  
On all sides then, do wicked men  
seek whom they may devour.   

Psalm XIII.  
Stanford Tune.  
HOw long, O Lord, of thee,  
for -- got -- ten shall I be?  
How long a space wilt hide thy face,  
for e --- ver-more from me?  
How long shall I con -- dole,  
take coun -- sell in my soul;  
And day -- lie bear such grief and care,  
and en' -- mies proud con -- troul;  
verse 3 Consider, hear my cries,  
my God, clear thou mine eyes:  
Lest sleep of death my last drawn breath  
perpetually surprise.  
verse 4 And lest mine enemies say,  
lo I have got the day:  
And glad they be that trouble me,  
when put beside my stay.  
verse 5 But I thy mercy made  
the rock whereon I stayed:  
My heart in me right glad shall be  
in thy salvations aid.  
verse 6 Unto the Lord will I  
sing praises cheerfully;  
Because that he hath dealt with me  
exceeding bounteously.   

Psalm XIV.  
Windsor Tune.  
THe fools of -- firm there is no God,  
for so in heart they say:  
Vile deeds they do and none doth good,  
so quite cour --- rupt are they.  
verse 2 For lo the Lord from heaven viewed  
the race of all mankind,  
To see if any understood,  
or sought his god to find.  
verse 3 But they were all corrupt and naught,  
all turned aside and gone:  
Not one that any good hath wrought,  
no verily not one.  
verse 4 Are wicked workers so misled,  
so blind and brutish all,  
That they should eat my folk like bread?  
On God they do not call.  
verse 5 But even in all their jollity  
great fear upon them fell:  
For in the sweet society  
of just men God doth dwell.  
verse 6 Ye mock the wisdom of the poor,  
and would his counsel shame:  
Because he makes himself secure  
by faith in God's great name.  
verse 7 But O that all that we hear tell,  
the Lord would once fulfil:  
Namely his word to Israel,  
from out of Zion hill!  
When God his people's bondage turns,  
that freedom once is had:  
Then Jocob shall rejoice that mourns,  
and Isr'el shall be glad.   

Psalm XV.  
St. mary Tune.  
WHo shall a -- bide, Lord (teach us still)  
with -- in thy tents of grace?  
And who with -- in thy ho -- lie hill  
shall have a dwell -- lings place?  
verse 2 The man that walketh uprightly,  
and worketh righteousness;  
And doth from heart's integrity  
the very truth express.  
verse 3 That hurts his neighbour in no sort,  
nor slandreth with his tongue:  
Nor taketh up a false report,  
to do his neighbour wrong.  
verse 4 The man in whose discerning eyes  
vile persons are abhorred:  
But them he highly magnifies  
that truly fear the Lord.  
verse 5 That keeps his covenant faithfully,  
though he the loss sustain;  
Nor putteth out to usury,  
to get unlawful gain.  
verse 6 That will not for a world be bribed,  
the blameless to betray,  
He that doth these things here prescribed,  
be moved he never may.   

Psalm XV.  
Metre 2. Oxford Tune.  
LOrd who shall have a dwel-ling place  
I'th' Ta -- by'r -- na --- cle of thy grace?  
thy ho --- lie hill who shall pos-sess?  
The Man that walk -- eth up -- right -- lie;  
And work -- eth no in --- i --- qui --- ty,  
shall sure -- lie have that hap -- pis --- ness.  
The man that walks in God's true fear,  
and speaks the truth with heart sincere  
According to his just intent;  
he that backbites not with his tongue,  
Nor doth his neighbour any wrong,  
is such a man as here is meant.  
verse 2 That takes not up an evil fame  
reproachful to his neighbour's name,  
Nor useth no Injurious word:  
he that doth look with just disdain  
Upon vile persons and profane,  
but honours them that fear the Lord.  
That to his promise goes not cross,  
although engaged to his loss,  
Nor puts out Coin to Usury:  
nor takes reward against the Just;  
He that doth thus may boldly trust  
not to be moved eternally.   

Psalm XVI.  
Lowath Tune.  
LOrd, save me, for I trust in thee  
sin --- cere --- lie from my heart;  
Con-fes-sing thee my Lord to be,  
and so in -- deed thou art.  
My goodness unto thee I know,  
can never have extent:  
verse 3 But to the saints that live below,  
and to the excellent,  
verse 4 In whom my whole delight is placed:  
but questionless all those  
That after other Gods make haste,  
shall multiply their woes.  
verse 5 The blood of their drink-offering,  
I'll not present the same:  
Nor move my lips in mentioning  
of their detested name.  
verse 6 The Lord, is mine inheritance,  
and portion of my cup:  
Of mine allotted maintenance  
thou art the holder up.  
verse 7 The lines are fallen successively,  
and happily to me,  
A goodly heritage have I,  
a pleasant place to see.  

The second part.  
verse 8 I Bless the Lord unfeignedly,  
who counselled me aright:  
So that my reins instructed me  
in seasons of the night.  
verse 9 I still conceived the Lord to stand  
before me as my guide:  
Since he doth stand at my right hand  
I know I shall not slide?  
verse 10 Therefore my heart and tongue are glad,  
and both rejoice in this:  
The certain hope my flesh hath had  
of everlasting bliss.  
verse 11 Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,  
nor wilt thou suffer me  
Thy holy one (beloved so well)  
corruption for to see.  
verse 12 The path of life thou wilt show me,  
for there are all the treasures:  
And joys at thy right hand there be,  
and everlasting pleasures.    

Psalm XVII.  
Bristol Tune.  
LOrd, hear the right, at -- tend my cry,  
un --- to my prayer give heed,  
That doth not in high -- po -- cri -- sy  
from feign--ed lips pro-ceed.  
verse 2 And let my sentence uncontrolled,  
proceed with power from thee:  
And let thy righteous eyes behold  
the things that equal be.  
verse 3 My heart thou hast examined,  
by night thou didst inquire:  
Thou hast me proved and visited,  
and tried me as by fire.  
Yet by thy searching thou shalt find  
in me no wickedness:  
For I am purposed in my mind,  
my mouth shall not transgress.  
verse 4 Concerning works of men profane,  
thy lips did guide me so,  
That from the paths I did refrain  
wherein destroyers go.  
verse 5 Uphold my goings, Lord, my guide,  
in all thy paths divine:  
So that my footsteps may not slide  
out of those ways of thine.  
verse 6 I have with comfort called on thee,  
for thou, O God, wilt hear:  
Incline thyself to answer me,  
and to my speech give ear.  
verse 7 Thy wonderful kind love disclose,  
O thou whose strong right arm  
Saves all believers from their foes,  
that rise to do them harm.  

The second part.  
verse 8 Preserve me, Lord, from hurtful things,  
as th' apple of thine eye:  
And under covert of thy wings  
defend me secretly,  
verse 9 From wicked men that tyrannize,  
let thy hand help me out:  
And from my deadly enemies,  
that compass me about.  
verse 10 In their own fat they are enclosed,  
and bear themselves so high,  
That with their mouth they are disposed  
to speak presumptuously.  
verse 11 They have encompassed us round  
in our own footsteps now:  
And down unto the very ground  
they bend their lowering brow.  
verse 12 Like th' eager lion that doth long  
to take his prey in chase:  
And as it were a lion young:  
that lurks in secret place.  
verse 13 Arise and disappoint him then,  
and cast him down, O Lord:  
Defend my soul from wicked men,  
which are thy cutting sword.  
verse 14 From worldly men thy help I crave,  
from men which are thy hand:  
Which in this life their portion have,  
and do not see beyond.  
Thy hidden stores their bellies fill,  
with many children blest,  
They spend their substance at their will,  
and leave their Heirs the rest.  
verse 15 But I in righteousness abide,  
beholding thy sweet face:  
And waking shall be satisfied  
with th'image of thy grace    

Psalm XVIII.  
Lincoln Tune.  
O Lord my strength I will love thee.  
The Lord's my rock and fort:  
My safe de --- li --- ver -- o is he,  
my God, and my sup -- port:  
My strength and sta -- tion most se-cure,  
in whom my trust shall be:  
The horn of my sal -- va -- tion sure,  
and my high tower is he.  
verse 3 Upon the Lord's name I will call,  
who is most worthy praise:  
So shall I scape my enemies all  
with safety all my days.  
verse 4 The pangs of death did me enclose,  
whereby I was dismayed:  
The floods of wicked men arose,  
and made me much afraid.  
verse 5 The pangs of hell which dreadful be,  
did compass me about:  
The snares of death prevented me,  
and made me to cry out.  
verse 6 Then did I call in my distress,  
upon the Lord most high:  
And to my God with earnestness  
I did send out my cry.  
And from his temple graciously  
the Lord my voice did hear:  
Before him also came my cry,  
yea, even to his ear.  
verse 7 Then shook the trembling earth for fear,  
and dreadful terrors seized  
Upon the hills foundations there,  
because he was displeased.  
verse 8 Out of his nostrils went a smoke,  
and from his mouth there came  
Devouring fire, which did provoke  
the sulphurous coals to flame.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Th'Almighty Lord, the heavens bowed,  
and downward did descend:  
Beneath his feet a sable cloud  
of darkness did extend.  
verse 10 A cherub-chariot did him bear,  
whose plumes he made his sail:  
The winds his winged coursers were,  
and darkness was his veil.  
verse 11 Dark his pavilion, dark the Sky,  
dark waters, dusky clouds  
Compose an airy canopy,  
wherein himself he shrouds.  
verse 12 A brightness did before him flame,  
which did thick clouds dispel:  
Then down the battering hailstones came  
and coals of fire there fell.  
verse 13 The Lord from heaven in thunder spoke,  
the voice of God most high  
Did make the stormy hailstones smoke,  
and coals of fire to fly.  
verse 14 Yea, and he let his arrows fly,  
and put his foes to flight:  
He shot out lightnings, and thereby  
discomfitted them quite.  
verse 15 Then were the water-channels seen,  
and world's foundations vast  
Disclosed at thy rebuke so keen,  
and at thy nostrils blast.  
verse 16 The Lord did send from heaven on high,  
he took and drew me out  
From waters of adversity,  
which compassed me about.  
verse 17 He saved me from my potent foe,  
and safely set me free  
From such as sought my overthrow,  
and were too strong for me.  
verse 18 They did prevent me craftily  
in that most dangerous day  
That threatened my calamity,  
but God was still my stay.  
verse 19 He brought me to a spacious place,  
by his great power and might:  
And saved me freely of his grace,  
for I was his delight.  
verse 20 According to mine innocence,  
was my reward made sure:  
The Lord did give me recompense,  
because my hands were pure.   

The third part.  
verse 21 For in the ways of God have I  
continually trod:  
And have not ever wickedly  
departed from my God.  
verse 22 For unto all his statutes still  
I had a great respect:  
And no part of his holy will  
did I at all reject.  
verse 23 Yea, I was also most upright  
before the Lord most high:  
And kept myself as in his sight,  
from mine iniquity.  
verse 24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me,  
as I had done aright:  
And as my hands were clean and free  
from sin in his eyesight.  
verse 25 The merciful thou wilt requite  
with mercy in their kind:  
And they that are themselves upright,  
the like of thee shall find.  
verse 26 Unto the pure thy purity  
thou wilt, O Lord, declare,  
And thou wilt deal as frowardly  
with those that froward are.  
verse 27 For, Lord, thou wilt those people save,  
whom sharp afflictions tried:  
And wilt bring down all those that have  
the lofty looks of pride,  
verse 28 For thou wilt make my candle burn,  
and shine exceeding bright:  
The Lord my God will surely turn  
my darkness into light.  
verse 29 For I ran through a troop by thee,  
and safely scaped them all:  
And by my God assisting me,  
have I leapt o'er a wall.   

The fourth part.  
verse 30 As for the Lord, his way is pure,  
the word of God is tried:  
He is a buckler safe and sure  
to all that can confide.  
verse 31 For who except the Lord alone,  
a God esteemed may be?  
And who a mighty rock but one;  
and our Jehovah's he?  
verse 32 'Tis God that by his power and might  
strongly girds up my loins:  
And makes me take my way aright,  
to perfect my designs.  
verse 33 He makes my feet to be as swift  
as are the hinds in pace:  
And I must count it as his gift,  
that gains me each high place.  
verse 34 He taught my hands all Warlike skill,  
my fingers how to fight:  
So that a bow, a bow of steel  
is broken by my might.  
verse 35 Thou gav'st me thy salvations shield,  
to arm me most complete:  
And thy right hand hath me upheld,  
thy favour made me great.  
verse 36 Thou hast enlarged with liberty  
my stepping place so wide,  
That both my feet stood steadfastly,  
and did not slip aside.  
verse 37 I overtook my foes that fled,  
for I pursued apace:  
Nor till they were extinguished,  
did I forsake the chase.  
verse 38 Mine enemies I did so greet,  
with blows not dealt in vain;  
That down they fell beneath my feet,  
and could not rise again.   

The fifth part.  
verse 39 For thou hast girt me powerfully  
to battle with my foes:  
And hast subdued them under me,  
that up against me rose.  
verse 40 Also the necks of all my foes  
were given me by thee:  
That I might quite destroy all those,  
that greatly hated me.  
verse 41 They cried and called earnestly,  
but there was none to save:  
Yea, even to the Lord most high,  
but he no answer gave.  
verse 42 Then like the dust that's blown about,  
when boisterous winds do meet,  
I beat them small, and cast them out  
as dirt into the street.  
verse 43 Thou savedst me from seditious hands,  
the heathens head to be:  
I shall be served by foreign lands,  
and folk unknown to me.  
verse 44 As soon as they do hear of me,  
forthwith they shall obey:  
Submissive shall the strangers be,  
and yield themselves straightway.  
verse 45 The strangers till they do submit,  
shall soon fall off and fade:  
Their secret places they shall quit,  
they shall be so afraid.  
verse 46 O blessed be my rock of power,  
that ever doth abide:  
And let the Lord my Saviour,  
be highly magnified.  
verse 47 'Tis God that hath avenged me,  
my people he subjects;  
verse 48 My Saviour from my foes is he,  
my person he protects.  
Yea, thou hast set me o'er them all,  
that did my hurt conspire:  
And saved me from that tyrant Saul,  
whom fury set on fire.  
verse 49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee  
among the heathen, Lord:  
In songs of praise with melody,  
will I thy name record.  
verse 50 deliverance great he gives indeed,  
and mercy keeps in store  
For David and his sacred seed,  
and that for evermore.    

Psalm XIX.  
London Tune.  
THe Heaven's give to un -- derstand  
the glow --- ry of the Lord:  
The o --- pe -- ra -- tions of his hand  
the fir --- ma-ments re --- cord.  
verse 2 Day unto day hath made it known,  
and night to night declared:  
verse 3 And speech or language there is none,  
where their voice is not heard.  
verse 4 Their line is gone throughout the earth,  
their words as far extend:  
And there's his royal tent set forth,  
the sun to comprehend.  
verse 5 Which as a bridegroom bravely clad,  
doth leave his lodging-place:  
And giantlike with gesture glad  
sets out to run his race.  
verse 6 He reacheth heavens vast extremes,  
making his course complete:  
And nothing can by any means  
be hidden from his heat.  
verse 7 The Law of God is very pure,  
the soul it purifies:  
His testimonies are most sure,  
making the simple wise.  

The second part.  
verse 8 The statutes of the Lord are right,  
and consolate the mind:  
His precepts pure affording light  
to eyes by nature blind.  
verse 9 God's fear is clean from all defects,  
and always doth endure:  
His judgements just in all respects,  
and truth itselfs no truer,  
verse 10 Far more than many treasured sums.  
of gold to be embraced:  
Far sweeter than the hony-combs,  
or honey to the taste.  
verse 11 Thy servant is forewarned thereby,  
thy precepts to regard:  
And he that keeps them carefully,  
shall get a great reward.  
verse 12 But who can understand and see  
the error of his thoughts?  
Lord, cleanse me and deliver me  
from all my secret faults.  
verse 13 Thy servant also, Lord, restrain  
from all presumptuous crime:  
And let them have no power to reign  
in me at any time.  
And then I shall be most upright,  
being restrained by thee:  
I shall be blameless in thy sight,  
and great transgressions flee.  
verse 14 O let my mouth, O let my heart,  
in all I think or say,  
Be pleasing to thee, Lord, that art  
my saviour, strength and stay.    

Psalm XX.  
Lowath Tune.  
THe Lord now hear thee gra -- cious-ly,  
in this di --- stress-ful day:  
The name of Ja cobs migh-ty God  
be thy de -- fence and stay.  
verse 2 And from the sanctuary send  
assistance in thy need:  
And out of Zion strengthen thee,  
and make thee strong indeed.  
verse 3 Remember all the offerings  
which thou hast brought entire:  
And now accept the sacrifice  
which thou hast made by fire.  
verse 4 Thy heart's desire he'll grant to thee,  
and all thy counsels bless:  
And make them be accomplished,  
with suitable success.  
verse 5 Lord, we rejoice in thy defence,  
and in thy name and aid  
Of our great God our banners shall  
be cheerfully displayed.  
The Lord, fulfil all thy desire,  
and grant what thou dost crave:  
verse 6 And now I know that God most high  
doth his anointed save.  
And he will hear him graciously  
from his most holy heaven,  
With saving strength of his right hand,  
which shall to him be given.  
verse 7 Some trust in chariots, some in horse,  
but we will think upon  
The name of thee the Lord our God,  
and trust to that alone.  
verse 8 Lo, we do rise and stand upright,  
but they bow down and fall.  
verse 9 Save, Lord, and let our heavenly king  
now hear us when we call.   

Psalm XXI.  
St. mary Tune.  
O Lord, in thy sal -- va -- ti --- on  
The king shall much de --- light,  
With joy -- full ex -- all -- ta -- ti -- on  
in thy great strength & might.  
verse 2 For what his heart desired to have,  
thou grantedst every thing:  
And what his lips of thee did crave  
was not denied the king.  
verse 3 With thy good blessings manifold.  
thou hast him early sped:  
And set a crown of perfect gold  
upon his royal head.  
verse 4 And when he asked life of thee,  
thereof thou mad'st him sure:  
And gav'st it to eternity,  
for ever to endure.  
verse 5 His glory is exceeding great  
in thy salvations aid:  
Honour and Majesty complete  
thou hast upon him laid.  
verse 6 Thy blessings everflowing streams  
thou didst to him impart:  
Thy countenance with cheerful beams  
doth greatly glad his heart.  
verse 7 Because the King unfeignedly  
doth put his trust in thee:  
And through thy mercy, O most high,  
removed he shall not be.  
verse 8 But thy Almighty hand, O Lord,  
shall find out all thy foes:  
And all that have thy name abhorred,  
thy right hand shall disclose:  
verse 9 And make them like a fiery hearth,  
even in thy wrathful hour:  
The Lord shall swallow them in wrath,  
and fire shall them devour.  
verse 10 Their fruit shalt thou abolish then,  
destroying their increase:  
And from among the sons of men  
shall cause their seed to cease.  
verse 11 For they intended ill to thee,  
strongly persuaded too,  
T'accomplish that iniquity,  
which they could never do.  
verse 12 For these things thou shalt make them fly,  
turning their backs in chase:  
Charging thy bow strings readily  
against thine enemies' face.  
verse 13 In thy peculiar strength, O Lord,  
thy matchless glory raise:  
So shall our cheerful Songs Record  
thy powers deserved praise.   

Psalm XXII.  
Bristol Tune.  
MY God, my God, wherefore hast thou  
for --- sook me? O where -- fore?  
Art thou so far from help-ing me,  
when I do cry and roar?  
verse 2 To thee my God, even all day long,  
I do both cry and call:  
All night I cannot hold my tongue;  
yet hearest thou not at all.  
verse 3 But, Lord, thou art the holy one,  
and in that place dost dwell,  
Where always thou inhabitest,  
the praise of Israel.  
verse 4 Our fathers in the time forepast,  
did put their trust in thee:  
They trusted and their faith held fast,  
and thou didst set them free.  
verse 5 They were delivered evermore,  
by calling on thy name:  
And for the faith they had in thee,  
they were not put to shame.  
verse 6 But, I alas! am not a man,  
a despicable worm,  
A mere reproach of Men I am,  
whom all the people spurn.  
verse 7 All they that see me, laugh at me,  
and scornfully do they,  
Shoot out their lips, and shake their head,  
And thus in scorn they say:  
verse 8 He trusted that the Lord would be  
his Saviour by his might:  
Let him deliver him, since he  
took in him such delight.  
verse 9 But, Lord, thou knewest me in the womb,  
and thou didst take me thence:  
When I was on my mother's breast,  
thou wast my confidence.  
verse 10 And I was c●st upon thy care  
even from my birth till now:  
And from the womb that did me bear,  
my God and Guide art thou.  

The second part.  
verse 11 O Lord, depart not now from me,  
in this my present grief:  
Since I have none to be my help,  
none else to send relief.  
verse 12 For many bulls have compassed me,  
and compassed me round:  
The strongest bulls that use to be  
on Bashans' fattening ground.  
verse 13 They gape upon me greedily,  
to kill me if they may:  
Much like a lion roaring out,  
and ramping for his prey.  
verse 14 Like water I am poured out,  
my joints asunder part:  
As wax with fire runs all about,  
so sorrow melts my heart.  
verse 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried,  
my tongue cleaves to my jaws:  
I am brought down to dust of death,  
and thy hand is the cause.  
verse 16 And many dogs do compass me;  
the wicked when they meet,  
Conspire against me cursedly,  
they pierce my hands and feet.  
verse 17 Yea, I may reckon every bone,  
on me they gaze and stare.  
verse 18 Upon my vesture lots are thrown,  
and they my garments share.  
verse 19 Therefore I pray thee be not far  
from me in my great need:  
But rather since thou art my strength,  
to help me, Lord, make speed.  
verse 20 And save me from the cruel sword,  
by thy almighty power  
Preserve my dear and darling soul  
from dogs that would devour.  
verse 21 And save me from the lion's mouth,  
as thou hast answered me:  
When from the horns of unicorns,  
I made my Prayer to thee.   

The third part  
verse 22 I will declare thy name, O Lord,  
unto my brethren dear:  
Amidst the Church I will record  
thy praise, that they may hear.  
verse 23 O ye his saints that fear the Lord,  
set forth his praise and fame:  
Let jacob's seed and Israel's  
for ever fear his name.  
verse 24 For he despised no poor man's case,  
nor set his cause aside:  
Nor from him ever hid his face,  
but heard him when he cried  
verse 25 Therefore in congregations great  
my praise shall be of thee:  
And I will pay my vows, O Lord,  
where all thy saints shall see.  
verse 26 The meek shall eat and be sufficed,  
and those that do endeavour  
To know the Lord shall praise his name;  
their hearts shall live for ever.  
verse 27 And all the ends of all the earth  
shall readily record,  
And call to mind his works set forth,  
and turn unto the Lord.  
The kindreds of the nations all  
shall worship in his sight:  
verse 28 For he must govern great and small,  
all nations are his right.  
verse 29 All fat ones of the earth shall eat,  
and worship the most high:  
And they that stoop and lick the dust,  
ready to starve and die.  
verse 30 A seed of saints shall serve the Lord,  
accounted and foreknown:  
A generation of the Lords,  
which he himself doth own.  
verse 31 They shall come forth, and there declare  
his righteousness to those  
That born in after ages are,  
that God did thus dispose.    

Psalm XXIII.  
St. mary Tune.  
MY Shep-herd is the Lord most high  
I shall be well sup -- plied.  
In Pa-stures green he makes me lie,  
by si -- lent uva --- ters' side.  
verse 3 He doth restore my soul that strays,  
and then he leads me on,  
To walk in his most righteous ways,  
for his name's sake alone.  
verse 4 Yea though through deaths dark vale I go,  
yet will I fear no ill:  
Thy rod and staff refresh me so,  
and thou art with me still.  
verse 5 My table thou hast furnished  
in presence of my foe:  
With oil thou dost anoint my head,  
my cup doth overflow.  
Surely thy goodness and thy grace  
shall always follow me:  
And my perpetual dwelling place  
thy holy house shall be.   

Psalm XXIII.  
Metre 2. Stanford Tune.  
THe Lord my Shep -- herd is,  
and he that doth me feed:  
Since he is mine, and I am his,  
what come -- for't can I need?  
He makes me to lie down  
up --- on the flowery grass:  
Then to the streams he leads me on,  
where uva --- ters' gent --- lie pass.  
verse 3 And when I go astray  
he doth my Soul reclaim:  
Conducting me in his right way  
for his most holy Name.  
verse 4 Yea though the paths I trod  
through Death's dark Vale should be,  
I would not fear, for there's my God,  
a staff of strength to me.  
verse 5 And in mine enemies' sight  
thou mak'st me sit and dine:  
Anoint'st my head in foes despite,  
and fill'st my Cup with Wine.  
verse 6 Surely thy grace and love  
shall measure out my days:  
And from thy house I'll not remove,  
nor there from thee my praise.   

Psalm XXIV.  
St. David's Tune.  
THe Earth is God's, the peo -- ple his,  
the World, and all her Goods.  
He rou-●●d -- ed it up -- on the seas,  
and fixed it on the floods.  
verse 3 Who shall ascend God's sacred hill?  
and who may make account  
To stand and to continue still  
within his holy mount?  
verse 4 Whose hands, and heart are clean and free,  
and spotless in thine eye  
Whose soul affects not vanity,  
nor swears deceitfully,  
verse 5 For such a one the Lord shall bless,  
and he shall surely have  
The rich reward of righteousness,  
from God that doth him save.  
verse 6 For such do seek the Lord indeed:  
this is the godly race:  
O Jacob, this is sure the seed  
of them that seek thy face.  
verse 7 Ye everlasting doors stand open,  
ye gates lift up your head:  
And give the king of glory scope  
within your courts to tread.  
verse 8 Who is this great and glorious king:  
his royal name record.  
The strong and ever conquering,  
almighty, glorious Lord.  
verse 9 Ye everlasting doors and gates,  
lift up your heads on high:  
And then the prince of potentates  
shall enter in thereby.  
verse 10 Who may this king of glory be?  
set down that name of his:  
The Lord of hosts and none but he,  
the king of glory is.   

Psalm XXV.  
Southwel Tune.  
I lift my heart to thee,  
my God and Guide most Just:  
Now suf -- fer me to take no shame,  
for in thee do I trust.  
Let not my foes rejoice,  
nor triumph over me:  
verse 3 Yea, let not any be ashamed,  
that duly wait on thee.  
Let them be all ashamed,  
which causelessly transgress.  
verse 4 Show me thy ways, Lord, teach thou me  
thy paths of righteousness.  
verse 5 Lord lead me in thy truth,  
and teach me in thy way:  
Thou art my God and Saviour;  
on thee I wait all day.  
verse 6 I pray thee, Lord, remember  
thy mercies manifold:  
And thy compassions plentiful;  
for they have been of old.  
verse 7 My youthful sins and faults,  
O keep not on record:  
In mercy for thy goodness sake  
remember me, O Lord.  
verse 8 The Lord is good and just,  
and therefore takes delight  
To teach poor sinners in his way,  
that they may go aright,  
verse 9 The meek the Lord will guide  
in judgement not to swerve:  
The meek and humble he will teach  
his ways how to observe.  
verse 10 For all the ways of God  
are truth and mercy still  
To them that keep his covenant,  
and do obey his will.  

The second part.  
verse 11 And now for thy name sake,  
O Lord I thee entreat  
To pardon my iniquity,  
for it is very great.  
verse 12 Who ever fears the Lord,  
the Lord will let him know  
The perfect path of righteousness,  
wherein he ought to go.  
verse 13 In goodness evermore  
his soul shall sweetly rest:  
And by his whole posterity  
the earth shall be possessed.  
verse 14 The secret of the Lord  
shall all that fear him know:  
His Council and his covenant  
he to his saints doth show.  
verse 15 Mine eyes continually  
upon the Lord are stayed,  
To pluck my feet out of the net,  
which for my soul is laid.  
verse 16 Behold me, Lord, in love,  
and pity my distress:  
For I am sore afflicted, Lord,  
and left quite comfortless.  
verse 17 The troubles of my heart  
are every day increased.  
O bring me out of my distress,  
and let me be released.  
verse 18 See my affliction, Lord,  
my anguish and my pain:  
And take my sins so clean away,  
that none of them remain.  
verse 19 Consider, Lord, my foes,  
how they increase and swarm;  
And how they hate me cruelly,  
that never did them harm.  
verse 20 O keep my harmless soul,  
and, Lord, deliver me:  
And let me never be ashamed,  
because I trust in thee.  
verse 21 Let my integrity,  
and uprightness defend  
And keep me safe, because, O Lord,  
on thee I do depend.  
verse 22 And now, O Lord, redeem,  
and bring thine Israel out  
Of all the straits and miseries  
that compass them about.    

Psalm XXVI.  
Bristol Tune.  
JUdge me, O Lord, for I am just,  
and blame -- less I a-bide:  
In thee likewise I put my trust,  
there -- fore I shall not slide.  
verse 2 Prove me, my God, I thee desire,  
and search me secretly:  
Try me with thy refining fire;  
my heart and reins, O try.  
verse 3 Thy loving kindness, Lord my God,  
before my face I lay:  
And in the paths of truth have trod,  
and kept that holy way.  
verse 4 I do not hold society  
with men whose deeds are vile:  
I will not come in company  
with them that practice guile.  
verse 5 The congregation of the lewd  
I do detest and hate:  
And with the wicked multitude  
I will not be a mate.  
verse 6 In innocency I will wash,  
and purify my hands:  
Then will I hasten to the place  
where thy pure altar stands;  
verse 7 That I may publish and proclaim,  
with voice of joy and praise:  
And tell of thy most worthy fame,  
in all thy works and ways.  
verse 8 The habitation of thy house,  
Lord I have loved well:  
And that same place so glorious,  
where thy renown doth dwell.  
verse 9 O gather not my soul with them  
in sin that take their fill:  
Nor yet my life among those men  
that seek much blood to spill.  
verse 10 Within whose hands mischievousness,  
and wickedness abides:  
And their right hand it is no less  
replenished with bribes.  
verse 11 But as for me walk on I will  
in mine integrity:  
Redeem me, and be merciful  
unto me, O most high.  
verse 12 My foot stands in an even place,  
and here I will record,  
And show before the church's face,  
the praises of the Lord.   

Psalm XXVII.  
Dublin Tune.  
THe Lord's my sa-ving health and light,  
why should I be does -- maid?  
He is my life, my strength & might,  
why should I be a --- afraid?  
verse 2 When as the sons of wickedness,  
my foes and enemies all  
Came on me to eat up my flesh,  
they stumbled and did fall.  
verse 3 Though hosts against me pitch their tent,  
my heart shall fear no foes:  
But in this case be confident,  
though wars against me rose,  
verse 4 One thing I have desired of God,  
which I will seek for still:  
That I may have a blessed abode  
in Zions sacred hill.  
That I may there spend all my days,  
beholding God's sweet face:  
Enquiring after blessed ways  
within his holy place.  
verse 5 For he shall in the evil hour,  
me in's pavilion hide:  
And make his sacred tent my tower,  
where I shall safe abide.  
verse 6 And now behold, my head shall be  
exalted and renowned  
Above my foes that compass me,  
in all the circuits round.  
Therefore will I bring to his tent  
the sacrifice of joy:  
And songs of praise will I present  
unto the Lord most high.  
verse 7 Hear me, O Lord, when as I cry  
with earnest voice to thee:  
Have mercy on me, O most high,  
and kindly answer me.  
verse 8 When as thou saidst, my face seek ye:  
instructed by thy grace,  
My heart made answer unto thee,  
Lord, I will seek thy face.  
verse 9 Hide not thy face, O Lord, I pray,  
hide not thy face from me:  
In anger do not put away  
thy servant, Lord, from thee.  
Thou wast my helper heretofore,  
O do not leave me quite:  
Forsake me not for evermore  
O God my saving might.  
verse 10 When Parents both forsaken their son,  
and cast me off together:  
The Lord took care when they had done,  
a better friend than either.  
verse 11 Teach me, O Lord, thy way to know,  
and graciously dispose,  
That in a plain path I may go,  
because of all my foes,  
verse 12 Give me not over to my foes,  
for most maliciously  
False witness are against me rose,  
that breath out cruelty.  
verse 13 And surely I had fainted quite,  
but that I hoped to see  
Thy goodness in the land of light  
dispensed unto me.  
verse 14 Wait on the Lord courageously,  
he is thy strength and stay  
Thy heart with faith to fortify,  
wait on the Lord, I say.   

Psalm XXVIII.  
Bristol Tune.  
TO thee I cry, O Lord, my rock,  
thine an -- swear let me have:  
Lest by thy silence I be like  
to dead men in their grave,  
verse 2 O hear the voice of my request,  
now that to thee I cry?  
When towards thy holy oracle  
I lift my hands on high.  
verse 3 O draw me not with wicked men  
to act the sinner's part,  
That speak unto their neighbour's peace,  
while mischief fills their heart.  
verse 4 Give them according to their deeds,  
and mischief of their hearts:  
O recompense their handiworks,  
and render their deserts.  
verse 5 Since they regarded not God's works,  
nor what his hands have wrought;  
He shall not build, but break them down,  
and bring them all to nought.  
verse 6 Blessed for ever be the Lord,  
because that he hath heard  
My voice and supplications,  
which I to him preferred.  
verse 7 The Lord's my strength and fortitude,  
my safest shield is he:  
My heart reposed trust in him,  
and he hath holpen me.  
Therefore my heart exceedingly  
doth triumph and rejoice,  
And with sweet songs of praise to him  
will I lift up my voice.  
verse 8 God is the strength of Israel,  
and lo the Lord alone  
He is the Saviour, and the strength  
of his anointed one.  
verse 9 Lord, save thy people powerfully,  
and bless thine heritage:  
Feed them likewise and raise them high,  
henceforth from age to age.   

Psalm XXIX.  
Oxford Tune.  
GIve to the Lord ye migh-ty ones,  
Give to the Lord your crowns & Thrones:  
his strength & glow --- ry to con-fess  
As-cribe due glow --- ry to his name,  
Worship the Lord, his praise proclaim  
in beauty of his ho -- li -- ness.  
verse 3 Hark, you may hear his rattling cloud,  
the God of glory thunders loud,  
This is the voice of God most high.  
the Lord on many waters is,  
verse 4 And that loud sounding voice of his,  
is full of power and Majesty.  
verse 5 Hark how his voice with terror speaks:  
yea, and the Lord the cedars breaks,  
The cedars of mount Lebanon,  
verse 6 Like wanton calves he makes them skip  
Like a young unicorn they trip,  
mount Lebanon, and Syrion.  
verse 7 The flames of lightning they divide,  
the fire doth flash on every side,  
His thundering voice effects no less.  
verse 8 The thundering voice of God doth make  
The mighty deserts move and quake,  
it shakes all Paran wilderness,  
verse 9 The voice of God (so very strong)  
doth cause the hinds to cast their young.  
And the bare forests to appear:  
while his renown by every tongue  
Is through his holy temple sung,  
and these works celebrated there.  
verse 10 For God sits king upon the flood,  
yea from the first his kingdom stood,  
And it shall never, never cease,  
verse 11 The Lord that is our strength and tower,  
Will give his people ample power,  
the Lord will bless his church with peace.   

Psalm XXX.  
St. mary Tune.  
I Will ex -- tol thee, O most high,  
for I am raised by thee:  
Thou hast not made mine en -- e -- my  
to tri -- umph oh --- ver me.  
verse 2 O Lord my God, to thee I cried  
for succour and relief:  
And graciously thou didst provide  
to heal me of my grief.  
verse 3 Thou brought'st my soul up from the pit,  
thou keptest me, Lord, alive  
From them that are gone down to it,  
while safely I survive.  
verse 4 O ye his saints, sing to the Lord,  
and thankfully confess  
Unto his name, when ye record  
his perfect holiness.  
verse 5 His wrath is in a moment past,  
life from his favour springs:  
Though weeping for a night may last,  
the morning comfort brings.  
verse 6 And I in my prosperity,  
did confidently say,  
Surely I shall live happily,  
and see no evil day.  
verse 7 So very strongly by thy grace  
my mountain, Lord, was laid:  
Then didst thou hide away thy face,  
and I was soon dismayed.  
verse 8 Then in my tribulation,  
to thee, Lord, did I cry:  
And made my supplication  
unto the Lord most high.  
verse 9 What gain is in my blood when I  
unto the grave go down?  
Can dust praise thee, and testify  
thy truth and thy renown?  
verse 10 Lord, I beseech thee, hear me now  
in that which I have prayed:  
Have mercy on me, and be thou  
my all sufficient aid.  
verse 11 To joyful dancing thou hast turned  
my sorrows doleful noise;  
My sackcloth loosed wherein I mourned,  
and girt me round with joys.  
verse 12 To th'end my tongue may sing thy praise,  
and never silent be:  
O Lord my God, even all my days  
will I give thanks to thee.   

Psalm XXXI.  
Lincoln Tune.  
IN thee, O Lord, I put my trust,  
O put me not to shame:  
De -- li -- ver me as thou art just,  
even for thy right -- t'ous name.  
Bow down thy ear and hear me now,  
de ---- li --- ver me with speed:  
My ca -- stle, and strong rock art thou,  
to save me at my need.  
verse 3 For, Lord, thou art my fort and tower,  
which I for safety take:  
Then lead and guide me by thy power,  
O God, for thy name's sake.  
verse 4 Pull me out of the net which they  
for me have closely laid:  
Because thou art my strength and stay,  
to whom I fly for aid.  
verse 5 The spirit which thou gav'st to me,  
I to thy hands commit.  
For thou, Lord God of truth, art he,  
that hast redeemed it.  
verse 6 All such as set their heart on lies,  
I utterly abhorred:  
Detesting all such vanities,  
I trusted in the Lord.  
verse 7 Thy mercy's great do make me glad,  
my joys do overflow:  
For thou hast weighed what cares I had,  
and known my soul in woe.  
verse 8 Thou hast not, Lord, delivered me  
into mine enemies' hand:  
But in a place of liberty  
hast made my feet to stand.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Lord, pity me, do thou condole,  
for I am in distress.  
Mine eye, my belly, and my soul  
Consume with heaviness.  
verse 10 My life is spent with misery,  
my years with sighs decay:  
Strength fails me through iniquity,  
my bones consume away.  
verse 11 I was a scorn to all my foes,  
chiefly to neighbours nigh,  
A fear to friends, for even those  
see me without, and fly.  
verse 12 Like to a dead man out of mind,  
so am I quite forgot:  
And disregarded of mankind,  
as 'twere a broken pot.  
verse 13 For many slanders have I heard,  
and fear on all sides lay:  
While they devised and conspired  
to take my life away.  
verse 14 But yet I trusted to thy power:  
O Lord, my God, said I,  
Thou art my God and Saviour,  
on whom I do rely.  
verse 15 My times are all at thy dispose;  
do thou then set me free  
From bloody hands of all my foes,  
that follow after me.  
verse 16 Upon thy faithful servant make  
thy gracious face to shine:  
And save me for thy mercy's sake,  
for I am one of thine.  
verse 17 Lord let me never be abashed,  
for I thy succour crave:  
But let the wicked ones be dashed,  
and silenced in the grave.  
verse 18 Let lying lips in silence die,  
which speak the worst they can,  
Most proudly and contemptuously  
against the righteous man.  
verse 19 O Lord, how great felicity  
hast thou laid up for them  
That fear thy name and trust in thee,  
before the sons of men.  
verse 20 Thou hidest them in thy secret eye,  
from haughty tyrants' wrongs;  
Kept in thy secret canopy  
from all the strife of tongues.  
verse 21 O blessed be the Lord above,  
that succoured me so far:  
And showed me such exceeding love,  
in a strong town of war.  
verse 22 I said in haste, I am removed,  
and cut off from thine eyes,  
Yet was I so of thee beloved  
thou heardst my doleful cries.  
verse 23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints,  
for he the faithful guards:  
And the proud man with punishments  
he plent'ously rewards.  
verse 24 Be strong, and God shall stay your heart;  
be confident ye just;  
And surely God shall take your part,  
since ye on him do trust.    

Psalm XXXII.  
Lowath Tune.  
Bless -- sed, O bless -- sed man is he.  
whose sin God pas --- eth by:  
And hid is his in -- i -- qui -- ty  
from God's all --- see ---- ing eye.  
verse 2 Blessed is he to whom the Lord  
imputeth not his sin:  
Whose heart hath all deceit abhorred,  
and guiles not found therein.  
verse 3 For while I no confession made,  
but silent kept my Tongue,  
My bones (as if with age) decayed  
with roaring all day long.  
verse 4 Thy hand on me was burdensome  
the day and night throughout:  
So that my moisture did become  
like Summer's parching drought.  
verse 5 Then I confessed my sin to thee,  
and all my faults revealed:  
My trespass and iniquity  
no longer I concealed:  
I said, I will to God confess  
what all my sins have been:  
Then thou forgav'st the wickedness,  
and guilt of all my sin.  
verse 6 Hence all good men shall pray to thee,  
what time thou mayst be found:  
Sure when great floods of water be,  
he safely stands his ground.  
verse 7 O God thou art my hiding place,  
from straits thou sets me free:  
And with sweet songs of saving grace  
thou dost encompass me.  
verse 8 I will instruct thee, saith my God,  
and teach thee in the way:  
My watchful eye shall be thy guide,  
lest thou shouldst go astray.  
verse 9 Be not so rude and ignorant  
as is the horse and mule:  
Whose mouth if that the corb it wants,  
from harm thou canst not rule.  
verse 10 For certainly to men unjust,  
shall miseries abound:  
But him that in the Lord doth trust,  
shall mercy compass round.  
verse 11 O all ye righteous men rejoice,  
and in the Lord delight,  
With joyful shouts lift up your voice,  
all ye whose hearts are right.   

Psalm XXXII.  
Metre 2. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
O Happy man! whom God forgives,  
and hides what he has done a -- miss;  
Owns him as if he had not sinned,  
whose heart sin -- cere and upright is.  
verse 3 My woes increased, while I suppressed  
my guilt; no quiet I could get:  
verse 4 Thy wrath did press me like a weight,  
and scorched me like the Summer's heat.  
verse 5 I then resolved to disclose  
my crimes, and open all my wound;  
I humbly did confess my sins  
to thee, and easy pardon found.  
verse 6 This Mercy shall invite good men  
in season to implore thine aid;  
Then tho' their troubles like a flood  
should rise, they need not be afraid.  
verse 7 Thou, Lord, shall be my safe retreat;  
to thee I'll fly in all distress;  
Thou wilt preserve me; and in songs  
of Victory I'll thee confess.  
verse 8 I'll counsel sinners to obey;  
verse 9 And not be like the Horse or Mule,  
Whose fury till they're broke or tamed,  
No Rein can guide, no Curb can rule.  
verse 10 Such sinners meet with heavy strokes:  
verse 11 While those that trust in God, shall prove  
The happy men than let the just  
Rejoice and Triumph in his Love.   

Psalm XXXIII.  
London Tune.  
YE right'ous in the Lord re-joice,  
for praise be-comes the saints:  
Praise God with psalt'ry, harp, and voice,  
and ten-stringed In -- stru -- ments.  
verse 3 Sing to the Lord aloud with praise,  
with skilful songs and new:  
verse 4 For lo his word, his works and ways  
are faithful just and true.  
verse 5 Justice and judgement he doth love,  
even this most righteous Lord:  
And with his goodness from above  
the earth is richly stored.  
verse 6 The word of his eternal truth  
composed the spangled sky:  
And by the breathing of his mouth,  
the hosts of heaven on high.  
verse 7 The waters of the Sea he keeps  
confined within the shore:  
He layeth up the liquid deeps,  
as in a house of store.  
verse 8 Let all the earth submit with fear  
to this almighty Lord:  
And all the nations every where,  
even tremble at his word.  
verse 9 For he but spoke, and it was done,  
and when his word was past,  
His ordinances thus begun,  
and evermore stands fast.  
verse 10 The counsel of the nations rude  
the Lord doth bring to nought:  
He doth defeat the multitude,  
of their device and thought.  
verse 11 But Gods own counsels do remain,  
they stand for ever sure:  
The thoughts which his heart doth retain  
from age to age endure.  

The second part.  
verse 12 That nation's blessed, whose God's the Lord,  
foreknown in his decree;  
And chosen of his own accord,  
his heritage to be.  
verse 13 The Lord from heaven cast his eye  
on men of mortal birth;  
verse 14 Beholding from his seat on high  
all dwellers on the earth.  
verse 15 Alike he frames and fashioneth  
the hearts of great and small:  
Their works he well considereth,  
and judgeth of them all.  
verse 16 No numerous host can save a king,  
it is not strength that can  
Deliverance from danger bring  
unto a mighty man.  
verse 17 A horse is vain, and never can  
give safety in the fight:  
Nor shall deliver any man  
by his great strength and might,  
verse 18 But lo, the Lord doth set his eye  
with favour on the just,  
And those that fear him faithfully,  
and in his mercy trust:  
verse 19 To save their precious souls alive  
from deaths destructive power:  
And store of wholesome food to give,  
when famine would devour.  
verse 20 Our soul doth wait with patience  
for God the holy one:  
He is our help and our defence,  
he is our shield alone.  
verse 21 For lo, our heart in him shall joy,  
because we can proclaim  
That we have trusted steadfastly  
in his most holy name.  
verse 22 Lord, let thy mercy and thy grace  
upon us ever be:  
Accordingly as we do place  
our confidence in thee.    

Psalm XXXIV.  
St. mary Tune.  
AT all times I will mag-ni -- fie,  
and bless the li---ving Lord:  
My thank-ful mouth con-ti-n'-al -- lie  
his prai --- ses shall re -- cord.  
verse 2 My soul shall boast in God's great name,  
with glad and glor'ing voice:  
The humble men shall hear the same,  
and mightily rejoice.  
verse 3 O magnify the Lord with me,  
and let us all endeavour  
Him to exalt in high degree,  
and praise his name together.  
verse 4 I sought the Lord with fervent cries,  
and he my voice did hear:  
The Lord delivered me likewise  
from all my painful fear.  
verse 5 The saints looked up to him on high,  
and by this means they came  
To be enlightened gloriously,  
their face received no shame.  
verse 6 This poor man cried, the saints shall say,  
the Lord did hear his call:  
And for his troubles he made way,  
to help him out of all.  
verse 7 The angel of the Lord most high  
encampeth every where;  
delivering them continually  
that walk in God's true fear.  
verse 8 O taste, ye saints, and tasting see,  
that God's a gracious one:  
O happy, happy man is he,  
that trusts in him alone.  
verse 9 O fear the Lord, ye saints of his,  
fear him with one accord:  
For never any want there is  
to them that fear the Lord.  
verse 10 Young lions lack, and shall endure  
sharp hungers mortal sting:  
But they that fear the Lord are sure  
to want for no good thing.  

The second part.  
verse 11 Come, Children, with alacrity,  
unto my words give ear:  
And I will teach you perfectly  
the Lords true filial fear.  
verse 12 What man unto long life aspires,  
and loveth many days:  
To see the good that he desires,  
let him observe these ways.  
verse 13 Thy tongue all evil must exclude,  
thy lips must guile eschew:  
verse 14 Depart from evil and do good,  
seek peace, and peace pursue,  
verse 15 For on the righteous every where  
the Lord doth set his eye:  
And opens his attentive ear  
to their uncessant cry.  
verse 16 the Lord hath set his countenance  
against the wicked race:  
To cut off their remembrance  
on earth from every place.  
verse 17 The righteous cry, the Lord doth hear,  
and ends their troubles quite.  
verse 18 To broken hearts the Lord is near,  
and saves the soul contrite.  
verse 19 Full many are the miseries  
of just and righteous men:  
But out of all adversities  
the Lord deliv'reth them.  
verse 20 And by a special providence  
he keepeth every bone:  
That none by any violence  
is broken, no not one.  
verse 21 But evil shall the wicked slay,  
and whosoever hate  
The righteous, for their righteous way,  
shall soon be desolate.  
verse 22 The Lord doth graciously redeem  
his servants souls each one:  
And none do put their trust in him,  
that shall be overthrown.    

Psalm XXXV.  
Bristol Tune.  
LOrd plead my righteous cause with those  
that are with me at strife:  
O fight against my mor -- tall foes,  
that fight a -- 'gainst my life.  
verse 2 Lay hold O Lord upon the lance,  
the buckler and the shield:  
Stand up for my deliverance,  
and for me fight the field.  
verse 3 Draw out the sword, and stop the way,  
of those that follow me:  
And to my soul in mercy say,  
thy saviur I will be.  
verse 4 Confound them with rebuke and blame,  
that seek my soul to kill:  
Let them turn back and fly with shame,  
that think to work me ill.  
verse 5 As chaff doth fly before the wind,  
so let them fly apace:  
And let God's angels come behind,  
to prosecute the chase.  
verse 6 Bring them in dark and slippery way,  
that they may surely fall:  
And let God's angel make no stay,  
but persecute them all.  
verse 7 For causelessly within a pit  
a net for me they hid:  
Even for my soul they digged it,  
and this they causeless did.  
verse 8 Let him be ruined unawares,  
and taken in the net:  
Yea taken in those very snares  
which his own hand hath set.  
verse 9 And then my soul shall joy in thee,  
thy help, O Lord, to find:  
And thy salvation then shall be  
as music to my mind.  
verse 10 And all my bones shall thus confess,  
Lord, who is like to thee,  
That sav'st the poor man from distress,  
when foes too powerful be?  
Yea, thou deliv'rest by thy power  
the poor and needy man,  
From him that seeketh to devour,  
and spoil him if he can.  

The second part.  
verse 11 False witness did against me rise  
with evidence untrue:  
And charged me with iniquities,  
whereof I nothing knew.  
verse 12 For good they did reward me ill,  
to th' spoiling of my Soul:  
But as for me I used still  
their sorrows to condole.  
verse 13 I put on sackcloth for these men,  
My soul did fast and mourn:  
And into mine own bosom than  
my prayer did return.  
verse 14 Even for my foe I made my moan,  
as for my friend or brother:  
I bowed down heavily as one  
that mourneth for his mother.  
verse 15 But they rejoiced in my woe,  
vile abjects met to plot:  
They gathered when I did not know,  
they tore me ceasing not.  
verse 16 With mocking hypocrites at feasts,  
they gnashed their teeth at me.  
verse 17 O Lord, how long shall these vile beasts  
both seen and suffered be?  
Rescue my soul in this sad state,  
from their destructive paws:  
And bring my darling desolate  
even from the lions jaws.  
verse 18 And then will I give thanks to thee  
in great assemblies, Lord:  
And in the thickest throngs that be,  
will I thy praise record.   

The third part.  
verse 19 Let not my wrongful enemies  
lift up their horn on high:  
Nor let them wink with scornful eye  
that hate me causelessly.  
verse 20 For not a word of peace they say,  
but closely take in hand  
Deceitful matters, to betray  
men quiet in the land,  
verse 21 Yea and their mouths are opened wide  
against me spitefully:  
Aha, aha, mine enemies cried,  
we saw it with our eye.  
verse 22 O Lord, thou canst not choose but see,  
O do not hold thy tongue:  
O Saviour, be not far from me,  
Lord be not absent long.  
verse 23 Stir up thyself, and undertake  
my judgement to decide:  
My God, my Lord, even now awake,  
and let my cause be tried  
verse 24 According to thy equity,  
judge me, O Lord, my God:  
And let them not joy over me,  
while I am under trod.  
verse 25 Nor suffer them in heart to say,  
ah! we would have it thus:  
Nor let them say, he's made a prey,  
and swallowed up by us.  
verse 26 Let bashful shame upon them fall,  
and let confusion sad  
Be brought at once upon them all  
that at my hurt are glad.  
Let them be clothed with infamy,  
let shame confound their face,  
That do so proudly magnify  
themselves in my disgrace.  
verse 27 But let them shout and triumph still.  
with gladness and applause,  
That favour me and bear good will  
unto my righteous cause.  
Yea let them say continually,  
extolled be God above,  
His servants true prosperity  
that doth so truly love.  
verse 28 And I most gladly will express  
thy praise with grateful tongue:  
And celebrate thy righteousness  
O with praises all day long.    

Psalm XXXVI.  
St. mary Tune.  
UN -- god -- lie men's in ---- i -- qui -- ties  
do make me think and say,  
God's fear is not be -- fore his eyes,  
that goes this wick---ed way.  
verse 2 For in his own deluded eye,  
that man himself doth flatter:  
Until that his iniquity  
be found a hateful matter.  
verse 3 His words are full of wickedness,  
and framed to deceive:  
But wisdom, truth, and righteousness  
he doth forsake and leave.  
verse 4 He plotteth on his bed by night,  
his mischiefs to fulfil:  
He sets himself in ways not right,  
and he abhors no ill.  
verse 5 O Lord thy mercy doth ascend,  
above the heavens high:  
So doth thy faithfulness extend  
unto the starry sky.  
verse 6 Thy righteousness is like the hills,  
the greatest not the least:  
Thy judgements a deep Ocean fills,  
thou savest man and beast.  
verse 7 How excellent, Lord, is that grace,  
and love that from thee springs:  
Therefore the sons of men do place  
their trust in thy spread wings.  
verse 8 With fatness of thine house on high  
thou shalt thy saints suffice:  
And make them drink abundantly  
the river of thy joys.  
verse 9 Because the spring of life most pure,  
doth ever flow from thee:  
And in thy light we shall be sure  
eternal light to see.  
verse 10 O then continue thy sweet grace  
to them that have thee known:  
And let thy righteousness embrace  
the upright hearted one.  
verse 11 But let not, Lord, the foot of pride  
against thy servant stand;  
Nor let me ever fall or slide  
by any wicked hand.  
verse 12 Lo, there the wicked workers fall,  
they fall before our eyes:  
They are cast down, and never shall  
be able more to rise.   

Psalm XXXVII.  
Windsor Tune.  
FRet not thyself, nor be incensed  
for such as will trans-gress:  
Nor be thou en -- vi -- ous against  
the Sons of wick----ed -- ness.  
verse 2 For they shall soon be cut away,  
like to the tender grass:  
And like green herbs they shall decay,  
and wither as they pass.  
verse 3 Trust in the Lord, and put thy hand  
to actions that be good:  
So shalt thou dwell within the land,  
and be assured of food.  
verse 4 Also delight thyself in God,  
and he shall let thee have  
Thy hearts desire accomplished,  
whatever thou dost crave.  
verse 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord,  
trust also in his name:  
And then, according to his word,  
he will effect the same.  
verse 6 And he shall publish and display  
thy justice as the light:  
And make thy judgement, as noon day,  
to shine exceeding bright.  
verse 7 Rest on the Lord, with patience stay,  
fret not thyself a jot  
For him that prospers in his way,  
and speeds his wicked plot.  
verse 8 Let not rash anger in thee rise,  
all wrath forsake and shun:  
Fret not thyself in any wise  
that evil should be done.  
verse 9 For evil doers shall be destroyed  
by God's revenging hand:  
But they that daily wait on God,  
they shall enjoy the land.  
verse 10 For lo, within a little space  
the wicked shall be gone:  
Yea, and thou shalt not find his place,  
though pondering thereupon.  
verse 11 But meek men shall possess the earth,  
with all her rich increase;  
And shall delight themselves in mirth,  
and most abundant peace.  
verse 12 The wicked plots against th'upright,  
devising what he can;  
And even grates his teeth for spite,  
against the righteous man.  
verse 13 The Lord shall laugh at his lewd way,  
beholding from on high,  
How unawares his fatal day  
doth hasten and draw nigh.  
verse 14 The wicked men their sword have drawn,  
prepared their bow and quiver,  
The poor and needy to cast down,  
and slay the upright liver.  
verse 15 Their swords shall enter at their heart,  
and pierce themselves quite through:  
And e'er they can discharge their dart,  
their bows shall break in two.  

The second part.  
verse 16 A little that the just enjoys,  
is better far to them  
Then all the wealthy treasuries  
of many wicked men.  
verse 17 For God will surely break the arm  
of sinners by his might:  
But he will still uphold from harm  
and establish the upright.  
verse 18 God knows the days of upright men,  
and he reserves in st●re.  
A rich inheritance for them,  
which lasts for evermore.  
verse 19 They shall not be ashamed at all,  
when evil doth betid:  
But in the day of famine shall  
be sweetly satisfied.  
verse 20 But wicked men shall perish soon,  
and such as God provoke:  
As th'fat of lambs they shall consume,  
and vanish into smoke.  
verse 21 The wicked man a borrowing goes,  
but cares not to repay:  
Whereas the righteous mercy shows,  
and freely gives away.   

The third part.  
verse 22 By such as God pronounceth blest,  
the earth shall be enjoyed:  
But such as he hath cursed, shall be  
cut off and quite destroyed.  
verse 23 A good man's steps the Lord doth bless,  
and orders them aright:  
And in his way of godliness  
he greatly doth delight.  
verse 24 And though he fall, he falls not quite,  
but shall be made to stand:  
For God upholds him by the might  
of his most mighty hand.  
verse 25 I have been young, and now am old,  
yet, to my hoary head,  
The just, nor his, did I behold,  
cast off to beg their bread.  
verse 26 Still he is merciful and kind,  
and out of kindness lends:  
A blessing (too) he leaves behind,  
which to his seed descends,  
verse 27 Depart from evil and do well,  
lay up good works in store  
And then thou shalt be sure to dwell  
in peace for evermore.  
verse 28 For God loves judgement and will not  
forsake his saints at need;  
For ever he preserves their lot,  
but slays the sinner's seed.  
verse 29 To all the earth the just are heirs,  
it is their heritage,  
To dwell therein both they and theirs,  
even from age to age.  
verse 30 The mouth of righteous men hath force  
deep wisdom to express:  
Of judgement doth his tongue discourse,  
and talk of righteousness.  
verse 31 The law which his great God did make,  
doth in his heart abide:  
And of the steps that he doth take,  
not one shall ever slide.  
verse 32 The wicked watcheth narrowly,  
to catch the righteous man:  
And seeketh opportunity  
to kill him if he can.  
verse 33 But God will never let him fall  
into his wicked hands:  
Nor let him be condemned at all,  
when he in judgement stands.   

The fourth part.  
verse 34 Wait on the Lord and keep his path,  
he shall exalt thee then  
To dwell on earth, and see his wrath  
upon ungodly men.  
verse 35 The wicked in great power and pride,  
with terror I have seen,  
Spreading himself on every side,  
like to a laurel green.  
verse 36 Yet passed he away like wind,  
and lo, he was quite gone:  
Yea, and I sought him, but could find  
no sign of such a one.  
verse 37 Mark and behold the perfect man,  
and mark till his decease:  
For sure the end of such a one  
is everlasting peace.  
verse 38 But they that wilfully offend,  
shall be destroyed together:  
And this shall be the wickeds end,  
to be cut off for ever.  
verse 39 But righteous men's salvation  
of great Jehovah is:  
In time of tribulation,  
he is a rock to his.  
verse 40 And God shall help and succour them,  
and he shall save the just:  
delivering them from wicked men,  
because in him they trust.    

Psalm XXXVIII.  
Bristol Tune.  
ME, Lord, in wrath do not control,  
nor scourge in fu ---- ry fierce?  
Thy hea --- vy hand sinks down my Soul,  
thine are --- rows deep --- lie pierce.  
verse 3 My flesh no soundness hath within,  
because thou art displeased:  
My bones by reason of my sin,  
by no means can be eased.  
verse 4 The weight of mine iniquities,  
which o'er my head doth roll,  
Even like a heavy burden lies,  
too heavy for my soul.  
verse 5 My wounds corrupt and putrify,  
my folly makes it so:  
And much bowed down with misery,  
all day I mourning go.  
verse 7 My loins are filled with loathsomeness,  
my flesh hath no sound part:  
verse 8 I'm weak and bruised in such excess,  
I roar for grief of heart.  
verse 9 But, Lord, thou knowst my whole desire,  
my groans are in thy sight,  
verse 10 My heart doth pant, my strength doth tyre,  
mine eyes have lost their light.  
verse 11 My lovers and my friends so dear,  
stand distant from my sore:  
My kinsman unto me so near,  
come at me now no more.  
verse 12 And they that seek my life lay snares,  
and they that seek my wrong  
Speak mischief, and their heart prepares  
deceits, even all day long.  
verse 13 But as a man both deaf and dumb,  
that neither speaks nor hears,  
verse 14 From whom no contradictions come,  
I stopped both mouth and ears.  
verse 15 For, Lord, my hope against my foe  
is wholly fixed on thee:  
And thou, O Lord my God I know,  
wilt hear and answer me.  
verse 16 For hear, said I, lest they should be  
puffed up with wanton pride:  
And magnify themselves on me,  
when once my foot doth slide.  
verse 17 For I am ready now to halt,  
my sorrows still I see:  
verse 18 Wherefore I will declare my fault,  
my sin shall humble me.  
verse 19 But still mine enemies are in heart,  
increased and waxen strong:  
They hate my soul without desert,  
and do me all the wrong.  
verse 20 They are my adversaries too,  
that good with ill repay:  
Because I carefully pursue  
a good and godly way.  
verse 21 O Lord my God, forsake me not,  
far from me never be,  
verse 22 My Saviour, O defer no jot  
to help and succour me.   

Psalm XXXIX.  
Windsor Tune.  
I Will take heed un -- to my ways,  
and keep my tongue, said I;  
Brid-ling my mouth from sin-ful words,  
while wick---ed men stand by.  
verse 2 And dumb with silence thus I stood,  
and did not speak a word:  
I held my peace from speaking good,  
then was my sorrow stirred.  
verse 3 My heart within me waxed hot,  
while busied here about:  
And as I mused the fire did burn,  
at last these words burst out.  
verse 4 Lord make me understand my end,  
and days uncertain date:  
That I may fully apprehend  
the frailty of my state.  
verse 5 Lo, thou hast made my days a span,  
mine age is nothing deemed:  
Sure all men are mere vanity  
at best estate esteemed:  
verse 6 Sure each man walks in vainest show,  
sure they are vexed in vain:  
He heaps up wealth, and knows not who  
shall gather all his gain.  

The second part.  
verse 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for?  
my hope is all in thee.  
verse 8 Save me from all my sins, lest I  
a scorn to fools should be.  
verse 9 But I was silent at these things,  
I speak not, but was dumb:  
Because I knew my sufferings  
from thy good hand did come.  
verse 10 Remove from me thy scourge and plague,  
which I cannot withstand:  
I am consumed by the blow  
of thy correcting hand.  
verse 11 When thy rebukes correct for sin,  
it makes man's beauty die,  
Like garments where the moth hath been;  
sure all are vanity.  
verse 12 Lord hear my prayer attend my cry,  
regard my tears that fall:  
I sojourn as a stranger here,  
as did my fathers all.  
verse 13 O spare me, Lord, and give me breath,  
my strength to me restore;  
Before I go from hence by death,  
and shall be seen no more.    

Psalm XL.  
Dublin Tune.  
WIth ex -- pect -- a -- tion for the Lord,  
I wait---ed pa -- tient --- lie:  
At length to me he did ac -- cord,  
and hark -- ned to my cry.  
verse 2 He brought me from a dreadful pit,  
and from the miry clay:  
And on a rock he set my feet,  
establishing my way.  
verse 3 He taught my mouth new songs to frame,  
our God to magnify:  
Many shall see and fear his name,  
and on the Lord rely.  
verse 4 O blessed man whose hearts repose  
is God for all supplies;  
Respecting not the proud, nor those  
that turn aside to lies.  
verse 5 O Lord my God, many are these  
great works which thou hast wrought:  
Many the gracious purposes,  
which are to us ward thought.  
None can sum up how great they be,  
and when I would express,  
Declare, and speak of them to thee,  
I find them numberless.  
verse 6 No sacrifice nor no such thing,  
dost thou at all desire:  
Burnt-offering, or sin-off'ring  
thou dost of none require.  
verse 7 But thou hast opened mine ears;  
then, lo I come said I:  
The volume of thy book declares  
of me apparently.  
verse 8 My God, I come to do thy mind,  
and do it with delight:  
Yea in my heart thy law I find,  
for there thou didst it write,  

The second part.  
verse 9 Thy justice and thy righteousness  
in great resorts I tell:  
Behold my tongue no time doth cease,  
O Lord thou knowst full well.  
verse 10 Thy justice I have not concealed,  
my heart could not withhold;  
Thy faithfulness I have revealed,  
and thy salvation told.  
verse 11 With hold not thou thy tender love  
from me, O Lord, therefore:  
Let truth and mercy from above  
preserve me evermore.  
verse 12 For, Lord, with mischiefs manifold  
full sore beset am I:  
My sins on me do take such hold,  
I even droop and die.  
And surely many more they be  
than hairs upon my head:  
Therefore my heart quite faileth me,  
and is discouraged.  
verse 13 But of thy mercy, gracious Lord,  
be pleased to set me free:  
And with great speed do thou afford  
salvation unto me.  
verse 14 Let them sustain rebuke and shame,  
that seek my soul to kill:  
Drive back my foes and blast their fame  
that work or wish me ill:  
verse 15 Let this reward their shame repay,  
confounded let them be,  
Whoever say, aha, aha,  
in way of scorn to me.  
verse 16 Let such as seek thy name be glad,  
and joy in thee always:  
Let such as love thy saving aid  
say still, to God be praise.  
verse 17 But poor and needy, Lord, am I,  
yet not of God forgot:  
Thou art my help and sure supply,  
my God, O tarry not.    

Psalm XLI.  
St. mary Tune.  
THe Man is blest that pru -- dent-ly  
doth of the poor cake care:  
For God will sure de --- li -- ver him,  
when great -- est dan -- gers are.  
verse 2 The Lord will keep him safe alive,  
and bless him in the land:  
And thou wilt not deliver him,  
into his enemies' hand.  
verse 3 Upon his bed of languishing  
the Lord will hold his head:  
And in his sickness strengthen him,  
and make even all his bed.  
verse 4 O Lord, said I, do thou extend  
thy mercy unto me:  
And heal my soul for I have sinned,  
and sore offended thee.  
verse 5 Mine enemies speak ill of me,  
and say, when shall he die,  
That so his name and memory  
may perish utterly?  
verse 6 And if he come to visit me,  
he doth but vainly gloze:  
His heart heaps up iniquity,  
and tells it where he goes.  
verse 7 My hateful foes lie whispering,  
and jointly they combine  
Against me to devise my hurt  
is all their main design.  
verse 8 An evil and mischievous thing,  
say they, cleaves to him sore:  
And now that he lies languishing,  
he shall rise up no more.  
verse 9 Yea, Lord, my peaceful friend, of whom  
I was so confident,  
That at my table eat my bread,  
his heels against me bend.  
verse 10 But, Lord, be merciful to me  
and raise me up again:  
That I may justly recompense  
the doings of these men.  
verse 11 And that thou favourest me, O Lord,  
by this good sign I see:  
Because my foe may not insult,  
nor triumph over me.  
verse 12 But I in my integrity  
am established by thy grace:  
And thou for ever settest me  
before thy glorious face.  
verse 13 The Lord the God of Israel  
be praised eternally,  
From age to age for evermore  
Amen, Amen, say I.   

Psalm XLII.  
Oxford Tune.  
LIke as the thir-sty heart doth pant,  
when he doth brooks of wa-ter want:  
so sighs my soul, O Lord, for thee,  
My soul thirsts for the li--ving God:  
when shall I en--ter his a-bode,  
his beams of beauty there to see?  
verse 3 Tears are my food both right and day,  
while, where's my God? they daily say.  
verse 4 My very soul in tears I shed,  
when I remember how in throngs  
We filled his house with praise and songs,  
and I their solemn dances led.  
verse 5 My soul, why art thou so depressed,  
so tossed and troubled in my breast?  
O hope in God for evermore.  
for yet again shall I confess  
His favours with much thankfulness,  
and comforts which he shall restore.  
verse 6 Yet now my soul within me faints.  
my God consider my complaints:  
For I will think upon thee still;  
even from the vale where Jordan flows,  
Where Hermon his high forehead shows,  
and also from the little hill.  

The second part.  
verse 7 Deep unto deep with noise do call,  
when as thy spouts of water fall,  
And while thy dreadful tempest raves:  
for all thy floods falls from the skies,  
And billows after billows rise,  
to swallow me amidst the waves.  
verse 8 Yet will the Lord by day command  
his lovingkindness near at hand;  
His songs by night shall lodge with me,  
as Music sweet amidst my cares,  
And then will I present my prayers,  
God of my life, even unto thee.  
verse 9 And say, my God my rock, O why,  
am I forgot and mourning die;  
And by my toes are brought to dust?  
verse 10 Their words like weapons pierce my bones,  
while still the echo to my groans,  
Where is thy God, thy only trust?  
verse 11 My soul why art thou so depressed,  
troubled and tossed within my breast;  
Bowed down and sunk beneath thy load?  
O hope in God, and on him wait,  
For I his praise will celebrate,  
who is my Saviour and my God.    

Psalm XLIII.  
St. David's Tune.  
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause  
a -- 'gainst a na-tion vile:  
O save me from the tyrant's jaws,  
and such as practise guile.  
verse 2 For of my strength thou art the God,  
why do I mourning go,  
Cast off by thee and undertrod  
by my imperious foe?  
verse 3 O send out light and truth divine,  
to lead and bring me near  
Unto that holy hill of thine,  
and tabernacles there.  
verse 4 Then to thine Altar I will press,  
O God my wondrous joy:  
O God my God, thy name to bless  
my harp I will employ.  
verse 5 Why art thou then discouraged  
within me, O my Soul?  
And why art thou disquieted?  
let faith thy fears control.  
Hope still in God thy help to be,  
whom I shall yet applaud:  
My health of countenance is he  
and my most gracious God.   

Psalm XLIV.  
Lincoln Tune.  
WE have, O God, heard with our ears,  
our fa -- there's have us told  
what works thou didst in days of theirs,  
and in the times of old.  
How thy hand drove out hea-then men,  
to plant them in their place:  
Thou didst afflict those peo-ple then,  
and cast them out a -- pace.  
verse 3 For by their Sword they never got  
possession of the land:  
Their own puissance saved them not,  
but it was thy right hand.  
It was thine arm and shining face,  
from whence their help did rise:  
Because our fathers found such grace,  
and favour in thine eyes.  
verse 4 My great and powerful king art thou,  
even thou alone, O God:  
Command thou that deliverance now  
for Jacob may be had.  
verse 5 Through thee we will push down our foes  
and through thy name, O God,  
Whoever have against us rose,  
shall quite be undertrod.  
verse 6 For I will never trust, O Lord,  
unto my bended bow;  
Nor yet conceive I that my sword  
can save me from my foe.  
verse 7 But thou hast saved us from our foes,  
and fully set us free:  
Yea thou hast put to shame all those  
of whom we hated be.  

The second part.  
verse 8 In God we all day long do boast,  
and ever praise thy name:  
verse 9 Yet now thou go'st not with our host,  
but casts us off with shame.  
verse 10 Thou mak'st us from the foe to fly,  
turn back and quit the soil:  
And they that hate us mortally,  
every themselves by spoil.  
verse 11 Thou gavest us into their hands,  
as sheep ordained for food:  
And scattered us in heathen lands,  
among a barbarous brood.  
verse 12 Thou sell'st thy people now for nought,  
taking no price nor pay:  
So that thy people are not bought,  
but wholly given away.  
verse 13 Thou makest us a mere reproach  
unto our neighbours near;  
Yea a derision unto such  
as round about us are.  
verse 14 Among the heathen we are spread  
as bywords of disgrace  
A scornful shaking of the head,  
before all People's face.  
verse 15 My sore confusion and disgrace  
before me still I see:  
The shame of my abashed face  
hath also covered me:  
verse 16 Because the voice of blasphemy  
we hear with many taunts,  
By reason of the enemy,  
and the avengers' vaunts.   

The third part.  
verse 17 All this is come upon us, Lord,  
yet we forgot not thee;  
But in thy covenant have abhorred  
to deal deceitfully.  
verse 18 Our heart is not turned back, O God,  
nor have we gone astray▪  
Nor any other path have trod,  
but only in thy way.  
verse 19 Though thou hast crushed us in the place  
where dragons draw their breath:  
And covered us in this sad case  
with darksome shades of death  
verse 20 Had we forgot our God's great name  
and help of idols sought,  
verse 21 Should not our God search out the same,  
since he doth know our thought?  
verse 22 Yea, for thy sake, Lord, all the day  
are we killed up as sheep:  
And counted as the flock which they  
for common slaughter keep.  
verse 23 Awake, O mighty Lord, awake  
why sleepest thou altogether?  
Arise for thy dear servants sake  
cast us not off for ever.  
verse 24 O wherefore dost thou hide thine eyes,  
forgetting our distress;  
And look'st not on the miseries  
which do our souls oppress?  
verse 25 For down to dust our soul is trod,  
on earth as worms we craul:  
verse 26 Rise for thy mercy's sake, O God,  
aid and redeem us all.    

Psalm XLV.  
St. mary Tune.  
My stu-dious heart contemplate -- ing,  
good mat---ter doth in --- dite;  
Touching the king I made a thing  
which here I will re --- cite,  
My tongue is as a writer's pen,  
that writes with swiftest speed.  
verse 2 Much fairer than the sons of men,  
I say thou art indeed.  
For grace is powered in plent'ous store,  
into thy lips divine:  
And God therefore for evermore  
hath blest those lips of thine.  
verse 3 O gird thy sword upon thy thigh,  
thou that excell'st in might:  
Appear in thy great Majesty,  
and in thy glory bright.  
verse 4 And ride on in thy Majesty,  
with prosperous success;  
Because of thy humility,  
thy truth and righteousness.  
And thy right hand, O mighty king,  
shall unto thee declare  
Th'accomplishing of many things  
most terrible and rare.  
verse 5 Thine arrows shall be sharp in all,  
in all thy enemies hearts:  
Much people shall beneath thee fall,  
sore wounded with thy darts.  
verse 6 O God, thou hast a lasting throne,  
that never more decays:  
And thy alone dominion  
a righteous sceptre sways.  
verse 7 Thy soul loves truth, and lewdness hates,  
and God thy God therefore  
Thee consecrates above thy mates,  
with oil of gladness store.  
verse 8 Of cassia, myrrh and aloes,  
do all thy garments smell:  
Which out of these thy palaces  
of ivory please thee well.  
verse 9 Among thy noble female band  
kings daughters were enroled:  
At thy right hand the queen did stand  
in purest Ophir gold.  

The second part.  
verse 10 Harken, O daughter, bow thine ear,  
consider and incline:  
Forget what were thy people there,  
that father's house of thine.  
verse 11 So shall the king desire to see  
thy beauty then much more:  
For only he thy Lord must be.  
whom thou must needs adore.  
verse 12 And there shall Tyrus daughter be,  
and many rich and great:  
Presenting thee with gifts most free,  
thy favour to entreat.  
verse 13 The daughter of this royal line,  
within for to behold,  
Doth with divine perfection shine,  
her cloathings all wrought gold.  
verse 14 Be brought unto the king shall she  
in needlework arrayed:  
And unto thee her train shall be,  
and Virgin-mates conveyed:  
verse 15 With nuptial joys and festival  
they shall these Virgins bring:  
Where met they shall have entrance all,  
i'th' palace of the king.  
verse 16 In father's stead thou shalt have sons,  
by new and heavenly birth:  
And make those sons most mighty ones,  
and chief in all the earth.  
verse 17 To ages all I'll keep in store  
the memory of thy name:  
Thy praise therefore for evermore  
shall all the earth proclaim,    

Psalm XLVI.  
Dublin Tune.  
God is our hope on whom we wait,  
our strength and re --- fuge near,  
A present help in every straight:  
Therefore we will not fear;  
verse 2 No though the earth should be displaced  
and though the mountains steep  
Into the very sea be cast,  
and bur'ed in the deep.  
verse 3 Yea, though the sea great noise doth make,  
and restless roars and raves;  
And though the very mountains shake,  
with swelling of her waves.  
verse 4 There is a river flows apace,  
and maketh glad thereby  
The City of God the holy place,  
and tents of the most high.  
verse 5 The Lord is in the midst of her,  
be moved she never may:  
The Lord shall help her, and confer  
that help by break of day.  
verse 6 The heathen raged fur'ously,  
the kingdoms moved were:  
His voice he uttered from on high,  
the earth did melt for fear.  
verse 7 The Lord of hosts of Israel  
is evermore with his:  
And lo, out tower impregnable  
the God of Jacob is,  

The second part.  
verse 8 Come see, and ponder in your thought  
the works of God's own hand:  
What desolations he hath wrought  
in sight of all the land.  
verse 9 He ceaseth wars now every where,  
which kingdoms did conspire:  
He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear,  
the chariot burns with fire.  
verse 10 Be still, and understand, saith he,  
that I am God alone:  
Among the heathen I will be  
the high exalted one:  
On earth I will be magnified,  
in all my might and power.  
verse 11 The Lord of hosts is on our side,  
and jacob's God's our tower.    

Psalm. XLVII.  
London Tune.  
YE peo -- ple all, with one ac -- cord  
clap hands and join in joys;  
Shout ye, and sing un -- to the Lord  
with most tri --- um-phant noise.  
verse 2 For he's a high and dreadful one,  
to be adored with fear:  
A mighty king in all the earth:  
exalted far and near.  
verse 3 For us shall this almighty king  
subdue the heathen lands;  
And people in subjection bring  
to Israel's commands.  
verse 4 Our heritage where we must dwell,  
shall he select alone:  
A glorious lot for Israel,  
his well-beloved one.  
verse 5 God is ascended up on high  
with shouts which shake the ground:  
The Lord is gone up gloriously  
with trumpets cheerful sound.  
verse 6 Sing praise to God, sing praise with mirth,  
sing praises to our king;  
verse 7 For God is king of all the earth:  
all skilful praises sing.  
verse 8 God reigneth universally  
over the heathen lands:  
Sits on his throne of sanctity,  
and all the earth commands.  
verse 9 The princes of the lands abroad  
do all of them flock hither:  
All people serving Abraham's God,  
they and their kings together.  
For lo, the shields of all the earth  
belong to God most high:  
He is exalted and set forth  
exceeding glor'ously.   

Psalm XLVII.  
Metre 2. To the 148 Psalm Tune.  
LEt all in sweet ac -- cord,  
clap hands and voi --- ces raise  
In ho -- nour of the Lord,  
and loud --- lie sing his praise.  
For God most high is King of Kings,  
and rules all things with Ma-je -- sty.  
verse 3 Whole Nations of our foes  
he throws beneath our feet.  
verse 4 A happy lot he chose  
for us as he thought meet:  
The dignity of Israel,  
beloved so well, by the most high.  
verse 5 God is gone up on high  
with shouts and trumpets sound,  
Ascending glor'ously.  
verse 6 O let him be renowned;  
His praises sing, and loudly raise,  
your voice to praise, our Heavenly King.  
verse 7 For God is Sovereign King  
and Lord of all the Earth:  
With understanding sing,  
and set his praises forth.  
verse 8 God reigns alone o'er Heathen men,  
sitting upon his holy Throne.  
verse 9 The Princes gather there,  
the Princes of all Lands:  
And people far and near,  
whom Abraham's God commands,  
The shields are his; throughout the Earth,  
of so great worth Jehovah is.   

Psalm XLVIII.  
St. David's Tune.  
GReat is the Lord, his praise no less,  
for so must we re -- cord  
Here in his hill of ho -- li -- ness,  
and ci --- ty of our Lord.  
verse 2 Mount Zion is a beauteous thing,  
the whole earth's joy and pride:  
The city of the mighty king  
is on her northern side.  
verse 3 The Lord within her palace there  
is known a refuge nigh:  
verse 4 For lo, the kings assembled were,  
together they passed by,  
verse 5 They saw it and they marvelled,  
for there they durst not stay:  
But troubled and astonished,  
they made great haste away.  
verse 6 Great terror there fell on our foes,  
and grievous pangs of pain,  
And sharp as women in their throws  
at any time sustain.  
verse 7 And as a fur'ous eastern wind  
puts Tarshan ships to wrack:  
Such fur'ous force our foes did find,  
when thy hand drove them back.  

The second part.  
verse 8 Now have we seen what we have heard  
recorded in our coasts,  
Touching the city of the Lord,  
the sovereign Lord of hosts:  
The city of our God, to wit,  
where this was testified,  
That God himself will establish it,  
for ever to abide.  
verse 9 And these thy sure compassion, Lord,  
thy kindness and thy grace,  
Most quietly did we record  
within thy holy place:  
verse 10 For like thy name so is thy praise  
as far as land extends:  
And store of righteousness always  
thy right hand comprehends.  
verse 11 Therefore let Zion plent'ously  
of heavenly joys partake:  
And Judah's daughters leap for joy,  
for thy just judgement sake.  
verse 12 Walk forth, and compass Zion mount,  
and round about her go:  
Her stately towers distinctly count,  
and all their numbers know.  
verse 13 Mark ye her bulwarks very well,  
her palaces regard:  
That ye may certify and tell  
the ages afterward.  
verse 14 For this God doth and will abide  
our God to our last breath:  
For ever he will be our guide,  
and our support till death.    

Psalm XLIX.  
Dublin Tune.  
All dwellers here on earth give ear,  
all peo -- ple harken hither:  
All gen' -- ral-ly both low and high,  
both rich and poor toge -- ther.  
verse 3 My mouth behold shall now unfold,  
and wisdom shall relate:  
Yea, and my heart and inward part  
shall knowledge meditate.  
verse 4 I will incline this ear of mine  
a parable to hear:  
And open my deep mystery  
upon my harp most clear.  
verse 5 Why should the day of grief dismay,  
and make me fear and doubt?  
When steps of my iniquity  
shall compass me about?  
verse 6 Concerning those that trust repose  
in wealth and worldly store,  
And make their brags of golden bags,  
though they have nothing more.  
verse 7 There's not a man of them that can  
his brother's soul redeem,  
Nor for him may a ransom pay  
sufficient in esteem:  
verse 8 (For that's of too great price to do,  
and so must cease for ever)  
verse 9 That always he alive should be,  
and see corruption never.  
verse 10 He doth perceive all die, and leave  
to others their estate:  
The fool, the wise, the brutish dies,  
for death's the common gate.  
verse 11 Their very heart and inward part  
this thought doth entertain:  
To wit, that all their houses shall  
for evermore remain.  
Their dwelling place from race to race,  
as they conceive, shall stand:  
They call the same by their own name,  
to wit their house and land.  
verse 12 Nevertheless if man possess  
great honour for a day,  
'Tis quickly ceased, and like the beast  
he perisheth straightway.  
verse 13 This way of theirs plainly appears  
a foolish way and weak:  
Yet are they by posterity  
approved in all they speak.  
verse 14 Like sheep in fold the grave shall hold,  
and death shall them devour:  
And over them shall upright men  
at morning have the power.  
And in the grave their beauty brave  
shall quite consume away,  
And perish from their ancient home,  
which also shall decay.  
verse 15 But God▪ will sure my soul secure,  
when I this world shall leave:  
On me the grave no power shall have,  
for God will me receive.  
verse 16 Be not afraid when one is made  
exceeding rich and great:  
When some great name augments the fame  
of his fair dwelling seat.  
verse 17 Who once by death deprived of breath,  
shall no possession have:  
His pomp shall end, and not descend  
with him into the grave.  
verse 18 Though till he died he magnified  
his soul for worldly pelf:  
And worldly men will praise thee then,  
when thou befriendst thyself.  
verse 19 For he shall go to them below,  
unto his father's old:  
And take his place with their vile race,  
and never light behold.  
verse 20 Man being high in dignity,  
yet understanding not,  
In his decease is like the beasts  
which quickly die and rot.   

Psalm XLIX.  
Metre 2. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
LEt all the Peo-ple round the earth  
their Ears with great at-ten-tion bow,  
To words that e -- qual-ly con-cern  
both rich and poor, both high and low.  
verse 3 Wise and grave Maxims I lay down:  
verse 4 And with attention quick and sharp  
Myself will listen, while they're sung  
to the soft music of my harp.  
verse 5 Why should the Man who trusts in God,  
affright himself with needless fear  
In days of evil; when old age  
approaches, or when death draws near.  
verse 6 Vain men applaud their stores, yet none  
verse 7 His brother can from dying save;  
verse 8 Life's purchase is too great; no wealth  
verse 9 Can buy our freedom from the grave.  
verse 10 The ashes of the wise and good  
with fools together mingled lie:  
The rich tho' loath to go, must leave  
the world, with all their wealth, and die·  

The second part.  
verse 11 Some think on houses that they build,  
their fame eternally shall stand;  
And to preserve their memory,  
give their own names unto their land.  
verse 12 Death levels all their state with beasts,  
makes all their splendid titles fade:  
verse 13 Yet their posterity approves  
the follies and mistakes they made,  
verse 14 Driv'n to the grave like sheep, their strength  
and beauty quite consumed away;  
They in death's fold shall lie enclosed,  
until the Resurrection day.  
A day in which the Just shall reign,  
and o'er the Bad dominion have:  
verse 15 Then shall I be received to bliss,  
after I'm raised from the grave.  
verse 16 Be not concerned when one's made rich  
or honoured here; for when he dies;  
verse 17 Naked he goes away from hence,  
and stripped of all his glory lies.  
verse 18 Thou whilst he lived he blest himself,  
and other men are apt to praise  
His prudent management, who strives  
his wealth and family to raise:  
verse 19 It's folly all; since he must tread  
the path his fathers went before;  
And in the place where he now dwells,  
never see light or comfort more.  
verse 20 Man that to honour is advanced,  
and with true wisdom is not blest;  
Tho' pleased with false and flattering hopes,  
shall die and perish like a beast.    

Psalm L.  
Lincoln Tune.  
THe might -- ty God, the Lord spoke out,  
and gave the earth a call,  
From sun's uprise, and round a -- bout  
to his far di ---- stant fall.  
From Si --- on beauties fair ---- est fair  
hath God in glow ---- ry shined.  
Our God shall come, and shall not spare  
to ut---ter all his mind.  
A flame of fire devouring quick  
shall go before his face:  
Tempest'ous storms shall gather thick  
about his judgement-place.  
verse 4 He to the heavens from on high,  
and to the earth shall call:  
Gathering his people generally,  
that he may judge them all.  
verse 5 Gather to me my saints, saith he,  
bring those before mine eyes,  
That have a covenant made with me  
by solemn sacrifice.  
verse 6 And then the heavens shall record,  
and make his justice known:  
Because that God, the righteous Lord,  
is judge himself alone.  
verse 7 Hear, O my people, what I tell,  
and what I testify  
Against even thee, O Israel:  
God even thy God am I  
verse 8 I will not say that thou didst sin  
for want of sacrifice:  
Thy burnt oblations still have been  
renewed before mine eyes.  
verse 9 No bullock will I take at all  
out of thy house to me:  
Nor any he goat from thy stall,  
my sacrifice to be.  
verse 10 For mine alone are all the beasts  
wherewith the forest fills:  
And all the cattles and increase  
upon a thousand hills.  
verse 11 What ever fouls the mountains yield,  
are all to me well known.  
And all wild beasts throughout the field,  
they also are mine own.  
verse 12 If any hunger I sustained,  
I would not tell it thee:  
The world and all therein contained  
belongeth unto me.  
verse 13 Will I desire to eat the flesh▪  
of strong bulls, dost thou think?  
Or will it God himself refresh,  
the blood of goats to drink?  
verse 14 Offer to God in sacrifice  
thanksgiving cheerfully:  
And see thou pay thy vows likewise  
unto the Lord most high.  
verse 15 And then with courage call on me  
in any dangerous days;  
And I will sure deliver thee,  
and thou shalt give me praise.  
verse 16 But to the wicked saith the Lord,  
what hast thou, wretch, to do  
The statutes of my holy word  
for to declare and show?  
verse 17 Why should thy wicked mouth relate  
what these my covenants be?  
Seeing thou dost instruction hate,  
and cast my words from thee.  
verse 18 When thou a wicked thief hast seen,  
thou joynedst with him then:  
And a partaker thou hast been  
with the adulterous men.  
verse 19 Thou giv'st thy month the liberty  
to utter all that's vile:  
Thy tongue is skilled in treachery,  
to frame deceit and guile.  
verse 20 Thou sittest in the scorners chair,  
and speak'st against thy brother:  
Thou slanderest and dost not spare  
the son of thine own mother.  
verse 21 The wickednesses thou hast wrought,  
at which, though I did see,  
I held my peace, and thou hast thought  
that I was just like thee.  
But know, I will reprove thee yet  
for thy iniquities:  
Thy sins in order I will set  
most plain before mine eyes.  
verse 22 Now understand and think on this,  
ye that forget the Lord;  
Lest I should tear you piece by piece,  
when none can help afford.  
verse 23 Who offers praise he honours me:  
who guides his ways aright,  
Him will I surely cause to see  
Jehovahs' saving might.   

Psalm LI.  
A Proper Tune.  
O Lord con -- si -- der my di-stress,  
and now with speed some pis --- ty take;  
Blot out my grie -- vous wick-edness,  
good Lord, for thy great mercy's sake.  
verse 2 Wash me, O wash me thoroughly,  
and purify my heart within:  
Wipe off my foul iniquity,  
and cleanse me fully from my sin.  
verse 3 For I acknowledge my offence,  
and my transgressions I confess:  
And daily have a deeper sense  
of my most heinous wickedness.  
verse 4 Thee, thee alone I have contemned,  
committing evil in thy sight:  
And if I were therefore condemned,  
yet were thy judgements just and right.  
verse 5 Behold, O Lord, for thou dost know  
that I received my shape in sin:  
My mother hath conceived me so  
and I was bred and born therein.  
verse 6 Also behold, Lord, thou dost love  
the inward truth of upright hearts:  
And wisdom coming from above,  
thou wrotest in my inward parts.  

The second part.  
verse 7 Purge me with hyssop, O my God,  
and then I shall be clean I know:  
O wash me in my Saviour's blood,  
and I shall be more white than snow.  
verse 8 Make me to hear amidst my moans  
the sweet and comfortable voice  
Of joy and gladness, that the bones  
which thou hast broken may rejoice.  
verse 9 Take all my sins clean off record,  
and hide them ever from thy view.  
verse 10 Create a clean heart in me, Lord,  
and a right spirit in me renew.  
verse 11 O cast me not away from thee,  
where I shall never see thy face:  
Nor do thou take away from me  
thy sweet and sacred spirit of grace.  
verse 12 Restore to me those joys again,  
which I was wont in thee to find:  
And thy sweet spirit let me retain,  
for to uphold my heart and mind.  
verse 13 And then shall sinners learn thy way,  
for they shall all be taught of me:  
And such as now do go astray,  
shall be converted unto thee.   

The third part.  
verse 14 Deliver me, O God, from blood,  
O God of my salvation dear:  
And then my tongue shall sing aloud  
and make thy righteousness appear.  
verse 15 Then open thou my lips, O Lord,  
O thou that keepest David's keys:  
Then shall my busy tongue record,  
and show forth thy most worthy praise.  
verse 16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice,  
nor is burnt-offerings thy delight:  
For were they valued in thine eyes,  
I would have offered infinite.  
verse 17 A wounded soul that feels its smart,  
is God's approved sacrifice:  
A broken and a contrite heart,  
O God, thou never wilt despise.  
verse 18 Now, Lord, do good in thy good will  
to Zion and Jerusalem:  
Build Salems' walls, bless Zion hill,  
of thy good pleasure unto them.  
verse 19 Burnt-off'rings then thou shalt accept,  
and whole burnt-off'rings shall be paid  
In righteousness observed and kept,  
and bullocks on thy altar laid.    

Psalm LI.  
Metre 2. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
LOrd look up -- on my sin -- full Soul,  
that un -- to thee for mer-cy flies;  
As thy compassions bound-less are,  
so blot out mine in --- i -- qui-ties.  
verse 2 O wash me throughly from my crimes,  
for thou alone canst make me clean:  
verse 3 With tears I now confess my guilt,  
amazed to see how vile I've been.  
verse 4 Against thee only I have sinned,  
and thy tribunal, Lord, I fear;  
For if arraigned and judged by thee,  
I must be cast, and thou be clear.  
verse 5 I was conceived and born in sin,  
too prone and bend to do amiss;  
verse 6 But in 〈…〉 purity to thee,  
and truth of hea●● most pleasing is.  
verse 7 Lord, show me thou art reconciled,  
as those with hyssop sprinkled know  
They are absolved; thy grace can wash  
and make me whiter than the snow.  
verse 8 My sins have forfeited the joys  
and inward peace that once I had;  
Thy pardoning voice would heal again  
my broken bones, and make them glad.  
verse 9 No longer, Lord, behold my sins  
with a severe and angry look;  
O take their stains out of my Soul,  
and blot their guilt out of thy book.  

The second part.  
verse 10 Create in me, O God, a heart  
clean and unspotted in thy sight;  
Renew a well composed mind,  
unmoved from Goodness and upright.  
verse 11 Lord, do not cast me from thy sight,  
as one whom thou no more canst Love▪  
Nor let thy Spirit, whose grace I need,  
tho' grieved too much, from me remove.  
verse 12 It's saving Comforts and free aids,  
t' uphold my feeble powers afford.  
verse 13 Thus Sinners will be drawn t'amend  
their ways, and turn unto the Lord.  
verse 14 O save me from the crying guilt  
of Blood, that sin of crimson dye;  
Thy Faithfulness I'll then proclaim,  
and loudly sing thy Clemency.  
verse 15 My opened Lips shall speak thy praise;  
verse 16 For this thou rather dost desire,  
Than costly Sacrifice of Beasts  
consumed wholly in the fire.  
verse 17 Thou, Lord, a broken contrite heart  
Dost more than bloody offerings prise;  
This present now I humbly make.  
which God, I trust, will not despise.  
verse 18 Thy people whom thou lov'st, delight  
to bless, defend and succour them:  
Do good to Zion, Lord, and build  
the Walls of thy Jerusalem.  
verse 19 The Praises of the righteous then,  
how kind thou art, shall loudly tell;  
And all their choicest Offerings laid  
upon God's Altar, please him well.    

Psalm LII.  
Lowath Tune.  
WHy gloriest thou in mischief now,  
O man of might -- ty power?  
God's good-ness will con -- ti -- nue still,  
even ev' --- ry day and hour.  
verse 2 Thy tongue is still devising ill,  
and mischief comes thereby,  
Yea, it hath been a razor keen,  
working deceitfully.  
verse 3 Thy wicked mind is more inclined  
to evil then to good:  
And righteousness thou lovest less  
than lies to be pursued.  
verse 4 Deceitful tongue, thou lov'st all wrong,  
and words that do devour.  
verse 5 God shall therefore for evermore  
destroy thee by his power.  
He shall I say take thee away  
out of thy dwelling place:  
And pluck thee out even by thee root,  
from all the living race.  
verse 6 The righteous there shall see, and fear,  
and laugh at him, and say,  
verse 7 Lo, this is he that could not see  
to make the Lord his stay.  
But for defence put confidence  
in heaps of worldly pelf:  
And in the sin he lived in  
encouraged himself.  
verse 8 But like a green fresh olive seen  
within God's house am I:  
And in the grace of God will place  
my trust perpetually.  
verse 9 And I always will give thee praise,  
because thou didst all this:  
And wait upon thy name alone,  
so good to saints it is.   

Psalm LIII.  
Dublin Tune.  
THere is no God, the fool doth say,  
at least his heart saith so:  
Cor-rupt are they, and vile their way,  
and all good works for -- go.  
verse 2 The sons of men th'Almighty viewed  
from heaven, to descry  
If any of them understood,  
and sought God faithfully,  
verse 3 They are revolted generally,  
a most corrupted brood:  
None treads the paths of piety,  
nor any one doth good.  
verse 4 Are all so brutishly misled,  
that wicked paths have trod?  
They eat my people like to bread,  
they have not called on God.  
verse 5 But lo, they were affrighted sore,  
and mightily dismayed:  
Although there was no cause wherefore,  
to make them so afraid.  
For even thy strong besiegers bones  
the Lord dispersed abroad,  
And thou hast shamed those wicked ones,  
because despised of God.  
verse 6 O that the sweet salvation then  
which Isr'el waits for still,  
Were fully come to all good men  
from out of Zion hill.  
For surely when the Lord sets free  
his captives now so sad:  
Then Jacob shall most joyful be,  
and Isr'el shall be glad.   

Psalm LIV.  
Martyr's Tune.  
SAve me, O God, by thy great name  
and judge me by thy strength,  
Attend my prayer, re-ceive the fame,  
and hear my words at length·  
verse 3 For strangers do against me rise,  
oppressors seek my Blood:  
And do not set before their eyes  
the fear of thee, O God.  
verse 4 Lo, God's my help, and stands with those  
that do uphold my heart.  
verse 5 He shall reward my env'ous foes  
according to desert.  
Destroy them in thy righteousness:  
verse 6 And freely I'll accord  
With sacrifice thy name to bless,  
for it is good, O Lord.  
verse 7 For now hath God delivered me  
from all perplexing woes;  
And let mine eyes most plainly see  
his will upon my foes.   

Psalm LV.  
Bristol Tune.  
O God, un -- to my prayer give ear,  
and do not hide thy face:  
But un --- to my re quest give ear,  
now su --- ing for thy grace.  
verse 2 Attend unto me graciously,  
and hear my doleful cries:  
I mourn with thoughts of misery,  
and make a troubled noise.  
verse 3 Because my enemies' voice grows high,  
because lewd men oppress:  
They cast on me iniquity  
in wrath and spitefulness.  
verse 4 My heart within me laboureth  
of pain that makes me sick:  
The terrors of untimely death  
are fallen upon me thick.  
verse 5 Trembling and fearfulness do fall  
on me in every part:  
And horror coming therewithal  
hath overwhelmed my heart.  
verse 6 O! that I had the faculty  
of flying like a dove:  
Then would I fly away, said I,  
and to some rest remove.  
verse 7 Lo then I'd wander wide, and stay  
in deserts far to find,  
verse 8 And hasten my escape away  
from tempest, storm and wind.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Destroy, O Lord, do thou divide  
and separate their tongues:  
For I have in the city spied  
strife, violence and wrongs.  
verse 10 Both day and night they go about  
upon the city wall:  
Mischief and sorrow both break out  
within the midst of all.  
verse 11 There is abundant wickedness  
within her very heart:  
And from her streets deceitfulness  
and guile do not depart.  
verse 12 For it was not an enemy  
that used me with such scorn:  
For than I could more easily  
the injury have born.  
Nor was it he that hated me,  
that lift his horn so high:  
For than I would have hidden me  
where he should not espy  
verse 13 But it was thou, a man, that hast  
thyself so magnified:  
Though my acquaintance once thou wast,  
my equal and my guide.  
verse 14 We did consult with sweet content,  
in most familiar kind:  
And to the house of God we went,  
in company combined.   

The third part.  
verse 15 Let death seize on them speedily:  
and send them quick to hell:  
For there is all iniquity  
among them where they dwell.  
verse 16 But as for me, my care shall be  
upon my God to call:  
And then shall he give ear to me,  
and send me aid withal.  
verse 17 Evening and morning and at noon  
I'll pray and cry aloud:  
And doubt not to be heard as soon,  
his ear's so easily bowed.  
verse 18 He hath preserved my soul in peace,  
from battle in array:  
For there was found a great increase  
with me that very day.  
verse 19 My God shall hear and punish them,  
he that of old abides:  
But God's not feared of wicked men,  
because no change betides.  
verse 20 He hath put forth his treacherous hands  
against his peaceful friends:  
And broke his covenants solemn bands,  
to serve his wicked ends.  
verse 21 While he gave forth smooth buttered words  
his heart was bend to spoil:  
And though his words were naked swords,  
they seemed more soft than oil.  
verse 22 Cast on the Lord thy burden then,  
he shall thy soul sustain:  
For he will not let righteous men  
be moved but still remain.  
verse 23 But they shall all be overthrown  
that wickedness commit:  
For thou, O God, wilt bring them down  
into destruction's pit  
To bloody and decitful ways  
who e'er addicted be,  
Shall not continue half their days:  
but I will trust in thee.    

Psalm LVI.  
Southwell Tune.  
HAve mer -- cy, Lord, on me,  
whom man would make a pre●:  
Be -- hold how he op -- pres -- seth me,  
con -- tend -- ing ev' -- ry day.  
verse 2 They that mine enemies be,  
would daily me devour:  
For infinite against me fight,  
O thou of highest power.  
verse 3 What time soever, Lord,  
I am of foes afraid,  
Lo then will I trust faithfully  
in thy assured aid.  
verse 4 In God I'll praise his word,  
in God my trust shall be:  
And placed there I will not fear  
what flesh can do to me.  
verse 5 My words they utter wrong,  
and wrest them every day.  
Their thoughts are still to work me ill,  
in whatsoever they say.  
verse 6 They all together throng,  
they hide themselves likewise:  
My steps they watch, and lie at catch  
my soul for to surprise.  
verse 7 Shall they escape so well  
in this their wicked path?  
Upon them frown, and Lord, cast down,  
this people in thy wrath.  
verse 8 Thou dost my wander tell:  
let down thy bottle, Lord,  
And put in there each briny tear;  
are they not on record?  
verse 9 When I shall cry to thee,  
it puts to sudden flight  
My daunted foe; and this I know,  
for God defends my right.  
verse 10 Thro'God's enabling me,  
his word will I proclaim:  
Yea, in the Lord, will I record  
his words due praise and fame.  
verse 11 In God alone have I  
reposed my trust for aid:  
Let mortal man do what he can,  
I will not be afraid.  
verse 12 Thy vows upon me lie,  
Lord, I must pay the same:  
And I always will render praise  
unto thy holy name.  
verse 13 For thou my soul hast freed  
from death so near at hand:  
And wilt not thou uphold me now,  
and make my feet to stand?  
That I may still proceed  
to walk as in thy sight:  
And spend my days unto thy praise,  
with them that live in light.   

Psalm LVII.  
Dublin Tune.  
BE mer -- ci -- full to me, O Lord,  
be mer ---- ci -- full to me:  
Be -- cause my soul be -- lieves thy word,  
and puts her trust in-thee.  
Yea to the shadow of thy wings  
I will for refuge fly,  
Until these lamentable things  
shall quietly pass by.  
verse 2 I'll cry to God with earnest breath,  
even unto God most high:  
Who faithfully accomplisheth  
my competent supply.  
verse 3 And he shall send from heaven high,  
and save me (by his power)  
From his reproach and obloquy  
that would my soul devour.  
verse 4 God shall send forth his truth and grace,  
though now my soul doth dwell  
And lodge among a wicked race,  
set all on fire of hell.  
degenerate sons of men I mean,  
whose fury being stirred,  
Their teeth are spears and arrows keen,  
their tongue a sharpened sword.  

The second part.  
verse 5 Be thou exalted, O great God,  
above the starry sky:  
And far above the earth abroad  
thy glory set on high.  
My enemies have prepared a net,  
my steps to overthrow:  
verse 6 My soul for which the same was set,  
is bowed down very low.  
And they have also digged a pit  
before me in the way:  
But falling in the midst of it  
themselves are made the prey.  
verse 7 My heart is fixed steadfastly,  
my heart is fixed, O God:  
And I will sing with melody,  
and spread thy praise abroad.  
verse 8 Awake my glory, up I say,  
my harp and lute awake:  
And I will wake before the day,  
sweet melody to make.  
verse 9 Thy praise, O Lord, will I set forth,  
where throngs of people be:  
Among the nations of the earth  
will I sing praise to thee.  
verse 10 Because thy mercy doth ascend  
unto the heavens high:  
Thy truth as largely doth extend,  
unto the cloudy sky.  
verse 11 O God, let thy exalted name  
above the heavens stand:  
Advance thy glory and thy fame  
above the sea and land.    

Psalm LVIII.  
Martyr's Tune.  
O Con -- gre-ga-tion put in trust,  
and men of mor --- tall seed.  
Are all your judgements true and just?  
and are they so in --- deed?  
verse 2 Nay in your hearts ye do devise  
to bind the cruel bands:  
And in the Earth ye exercise  
the vi'lence of your hands.  
verse 3 The wicked from the very womb  
have erred on this wise:  
Into the world no sooner come,  
but go astray by lies.  
verse 4 Such as the serpent's poison is,  
such poison just is theirs:  
And as the adder stoppeth his,  
just so they stop their ears.  
verse 5 For the deaf adder will not hear  
the charmers charming voice;  
But deaf to all his charms appear,  
though they were ne'er so choice.  
verse 9 Lord, break their teeth within their mouth,  
the great teeth of the stout,  
Of the fierce lions in their youth,  
O God, even break them out.  
verse 7 As weak as water let them be;  
and when he aims to shoot,  
Let all his whole artillery  
drop broken at his foot.  
verse 8 As snails within the shell consume,  
so, Lord, consume them quite:  
And like abortives from the womb  
which never see the light.  
verse 9 Before the pots can feel the thorns,  
his fury shall let drive:  
And with his whirwinds angry storms  
take them away alive.  
verse 10 The just shall joy, it doth them good  
to see thy vengeance then:  
And he shall wash his feet in blood  
of the ungodly men.  
verse 11 So that a man shall surely say,  
sure just men have reward:  
And there's a God that doth repay,  
and justice doth regard.   

Psalm LIX.  
St. David's Tune.  
MY God, do thou de -- li --- ver me  
from all mine e --- ne -- mies:  
And save me from their ty -- ran-ny,  
that do a -- 'gainst me rise.  
verse 2 From workers of iniquity,  
in mercy set me free  
From all their bloody cruelty,  
my God, deliver me.  
verse 3 For lo, they lie in wait for me,  
the mighty do combine  
Against me undeservedly,  
and for no fault of mine.  
verse 4 They run and do themselves prepare,  
when I no fault do make:  
Awake to help me by thy care,  
and perfect notice take.  
verse 5 Most mighty God of Israel,  
awake to judge the earth:  
Spare none that wilfully rebel,  
but pour thy vengeance forth.  
verse 6 Lo, they return at evening-tide,  
and as a hungry hound  
They make a noise on every side,  
and trace the city round.  
verse 7 Their mouths belch out great blasphemy,  
lo, in their lips are swords:  
For who, say they, doth stand so nigh,  
that he should hear our words?  
verse 8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them,  
and they shall be despised:  
For thou shalt scorn the heathen men,  
and all th'uncircumcised.  
verse 9 Because of his great strength and power,  
Lord, I will wait on thee:  
For God is my defence and tower,  
to which I always flee.  
verse 10 The God from whom my mercy flows,  
shall me betimes prevent;  
And let me see upon my foes  
my very hearts content.  

The second part.  
verse 11 Lord, bring them down, but slay them not  
disperse them by thy power:  
And let it never be forgot,  
O Lord our shield and tower.  
verse 12 For wicked words and blasphemies,  
O trap them in their pride:  
And for the curses and the lies  
which from their lips do slide.  
verse 13 Consume in wrath, consume them quite:  
that men may apprehend  
Thou rul'st in Jacob by thy might,  
to th'earth's remotest and.  
verse 14 Let them return at evening-tide,  
and like a hungry hound:  
Make a great noise on every side,  
and trace the city round:  
verse 15 Wandering abroad with weary feet,  
seek up and down for meat:  
And howl when they are hunger-bit,  
and have not what to eat.  
verse 16 But I with early diligence  
will sing aloud thy praise,  
Who wast my refuge and defence,  
in all my dangerous days.  
verse 17 O thou my strength, I'll sing to thee,  
to praise thy love and power;  
Who art a gracious God to me,  
my strong defence and tower.    

Psalm LX.  
Lowath Tune.  
O God, thou didst us once for -- sake:  
and we were scattered then:  
Thou wast displeased but O betake  
thyself to us a --- gain.  
verse 2 The earth sore broken with thy hand  
doth tremble, Lord, and quake,  
O heal the breaches of our land  
for it doth bow and shake.  
verse 3 Things that were hard and rigorous  
thou hast imposed on thine:  
And thou hast given drink to us  
of stupifying wine.  
verse 4 Yet gav'st thou them that feared thee  
the banner of thy aid,  
Because of truth and verity,  
to be on high displayed.  
verse 5 Now, Lord, that thy beloved land  
delivered may be;  
Save with the power of thy right hand,  
and hearken unto me.  
verse 6 In holiness Jehovah speak,  
with joy I go about  
All Shechem to divide and take,  
and Succoth vale meet out.  
verse 7 Manasseh must to me subscribe,  
and Gil'ad stand in awe:  
My chiefest strength is Ephraim's tribe,  
and Judah gives my law.  
verse 8 On Edom I will set my foot,  
my wash-pot Mo'b shall be:  
And thou, O Palestina, shout,  
and that because of me.  
verse 9 But who will lead me all the way  
unto the city strong?  
And who will guide me, that I may  
to Edom go along?  
verse 10 Thou, Lord, that hadst cast off our coast,  
and thou, O God, even thou  
That lately went'st not with our host.  
wilt thou not guide me now?  
verse 11 The help of man is vanity;  
Lord, help us in distress,  
verse 12 Through God we shall do valiantly,  
he shall our foes suppress.   

Psalm LXI.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
RE -- guard, O Lord when I com-plain,  
and make my suit to thee:  
Let not my prayer as-cend in vain,  
but give good ear to me.  
For from the earth's re-mo --- test part  
I cry for some re --- lief  
To thee, O Lord, when as my heart  
is o --- ver-whelmed with grief.  
Conduct me to that rock of power  
that higher is than I:  
verse 3 For thou wast my safe hope and tower  
against the enemy.  
verse 4 And in thy tabernacle still  
I gladly will abide:  
Under thy secret wings I will  
continually confide.  
verse 5 The vows that did my soul engage,  
Lord thou hast heard the same,  
And gav'st me to the heritage  
of those that fear thy name.  
verse 6 To thine anointed thou didst give  
prolonged days to see:  
The many years that he shall live,  
the longest age shall be.  
verse 7 Before the Lord he shall abide,  
for ever to endure:  
Thy truth and mercy O provide,  
which may preserve him sure.  
verse 8 So will I sing from day to day  
the praises of thy name:  
That having vowed, I daily may  
to thee perform the same.   

Psalm LXII.  
Bristol Tune.  
MY soul with ex -- pect-a --- ti -- on  
de -- pends on God in -- deed:  
Because my whole sal-va --- ti --- on  
doth still from him pro -- ceded.  
verse 2 He only is my rock of power,  
my saving health is he:  
He is my high defence and tower,  
much moved I shall not be.  
verse 3 How long a time will ye devise,  
and labour what you can  
To act mischievous villainies  
against a harmless man?  
Ye shall be sure of recompense,  
for God shall slay you all:  
Ye shall be like a tottering fence,  
and as a bowing wall.  
verse 4 His excellency to subvert  
they only do devise:  
They bless with mouth, but curse in heart  
and take delight in lies.  
verse 5 But thou, my soul, still wait upon  
the high and holy one:  
Because my expectation  
doth come from him alone.  
verse 6 He only is my rock of power,  
and my salvation proved:  
He is my high defence and tower,  
I shall not once be moved.  
verse 7 In God is my salvation,  
and glorious dignity:  
God is my strength and station,  
my rock and refuge nigh.  
verse 8 At all times trust in him alone,  
ye saints, with one accord:  
pour out your hearts before his throne,  
our refuge is the Lord.  
verse 9 Sure mean men are but vanity,  
and great men are a lie;  
Wholly more light than vanity,  
if them you weigh and try.  
verse 10 Trust not in wrong and injury,  
in robb'ry be not vain:  
If wealth and riches multiply,  
set not your heart on gain,  
verse 11 Once God hath spoke: yea and again,  
twice have I heard this said:  
That power doth only appertain  
unto the mighty God.  
verse 12 And also that compassion  
belongs, O Lord, to thee:  
And thou rewardest every one,  
just as his actions be.   

Psalm LXIII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
O God my God, I'll seek to thee  
with ear --- lie care and haste  
F●r, Lord, my ve -- ry soul in me  
doth thirst of thee to taste.  
And in this bar -- ren will --- der-ness▪  
where uva -- ters' there are none,  
My flesh doth great-ly long for thee,  
and thee I wish a ---- loan:  
verse 2 That I might see thy glorious power,  
and brightness of thy face;  
As I have seen it heretofore,  
within thy holy place.  
verse 3 Because the lovingkindness, Lord,  
which is in thee always,  
Is better to thy saints then life.  
my lips shall give thee praise.  
verse 4 Thus will I bless thee all my days,  
and celebrate thy fame:  
My hands I will devoutly raise  
in thy most holy name.  
verse 5 With marrow and with fatness filled  
my very soul shall be.  
My mouth shall join with joyful lips,  
in giving praise to thee:  
verse 6 When on my bed I do record  
thy love with sweet delight,  
And meditate on thee, O Lord,  
I'th' watches of the night.  
verse 7 Because thou, Lord has been my help,  
I will lift up my voice:  
And in the shadow of thy wings  
I greatly will rejoice.  
verse 8 My soul doth press hard after thee,  
and follows thee apace:  
And thy right hand upholdeth me,  
while I pursue the chase.  
verse 9 But they that seek my soul to slay,  
shall certainly descend  
Into the inwards of the earth,  
by some unhappy end.  
verse 10 The sword shall shed their guilty blood,  
and they shall fall thereby;  
And be the portion and the food  
of foxes when they die.  
verse 11 But God's anointed shall rejoice,  
his servants all shall glory  
In God that shall strike dumb my foes,  
and stop their lying story.   

Psalm LXIII.  
Metre 2. Oxford Tune.  
O God my gracious God, to Thee,  
My Morn-ing Prayers shall of -- erred be;  
For thee my thir-sty soul doth pant;  
My faint-ing flesh im-plores thy grace,  
Within this dry and bar-ren Place,  
Where I re-fresh-ing waters' want.  
verse 2 O to my longing Eyes once more  
that View of glorious Power restore,  
Which thy Majestic House displays:  
verse 3 Because to me thy wondrous love  
Than life itself does dearer prove.  
my lips shall always speak thy praise.  
verse 4 My Life while I that Life enjoy,  
in blessing God I will employ,  
With lifted Hands adore his Name:  
verse 5 My Soul's Content shall be as great,  
As theirs who choicest Dainties eat,  
while I with Joy his praise proclaim.  
verse 6 When down I lie sweet Sleep to find,  
Thou, Lord, art present to my mind,  
And when I wake in dead of Night:  
verse 7 Because thou still dost succour bring,  
Beneath the shadow of thy wing,  
I rest with safety and delight.  
verse 8 My soul when Foes would me devour  
cleaves fast to Thee, whose matchless Power  
In her Support is daily shown:  
verse 9 But those the righteous Lord shall slay  
That my Destruction wish; and they,  
that seek my Life, shall lose their own.  
verse 10 They by untimely ends shall die,  
their flesh a prey to Foxes lie:  
But God shall fill the King with Joy,  
verse 11 Who thee confess shall still rejoice,  
Whilst the false Tongue and lying Voice,  
Thou, Lord, shalt silence and destroy.   

Psalm LXIV.  
Lincoln Tune.  
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to hear my cry,  
and to my prayer give ear:  
Preserve my life from th'-ene -- mie,  
of whom I stand in fear.  
Lord hide me from the se --- cret snare  
that wick---ed men the --- vice:  
From them that wick-ed workers are,  
and do a -- 'gainst me rise.  
verse 3 who whet their tongues like sharpest swords  
and bend their speeches so  
That they may shoot their bitter words,  
as arrows from their bow.  
verse 4 That they may shoot in secrecy,  
the perfect man to hit:  
They do shoot at him suddenly,  
and do not fear a whit.  
verse 5 With courage they in ill proceed,  
and commune how to lay  
Their privy snares, in hope to speed,  
for who shall see? say they.  
verse 6 They search out shrewd iniquities,  
they search with utmost art:  
Their inward thought, how deep it lies  
in every wicked heart!  
verse 7 But God shall let his arrows fly,  
to shoot at them therefore:  
And with an arrow suddenly  
shall they be wounded sore.  
verse 8 So shall they make their tongues to fall  
upon themselves that day:  
And it shall make beholders all  
for fear to flee away.  
verse 9 All men shall fear that see this thing,  
they shall Gods works declare,  
Most prudently considering  
what these his doings are.  
verse 10 The righteous shall in God delight,  
confiding in his name:  
And all that are in heart upright,  
shall glory in the same.   

Psalm LXV.  
Southwell Tune.  
O God, praise wait -- eth still,  
for thee in Si --- on hill:  
The vow will we per -- form to thee,  
and rea --- di ---- lie full --- fill  
verse 2 O thou whose titles are,  
the God that hearest prayer,  
The God to whom all flesh shall come,  
to thee we do repair.  
verse 3 Our sins have born great sway:  
and much against us say:  
But as for these, Lord, thou shalt please  
to purge them all away.  
verse 4 O blessed man is he,  
whom thou dost choose to thee,  
And mak'st resort unto thy court,  
a dweller there to be.  
Where all that do abide,  
shall fully be supplied  
With grace, of which the house is rich  
which thou hast sanctified.  
verse 5 By fearful things displayed  
in justice for our aid,  
O God of our protecting power,  
thy answer shall be made:  
Who art our confidence,  
and all the earth's defence;  
And also theirs whom th'ocean bears;  
and all the coasts far hence.  
verse 6 Whose strength sets fast the hills,  
and girt with power, he stills,  
verse 7 The sea that raves with boisterous waves,  
and men's rebellious wills.  
verse 8 Thy signs affright the stout,  
that dwell the earth throughout:  
Thou dost display the break of day,  
and mak'st the evening shout.  
verse 9 Thou visitest the land,  
watering it with thine hand:  
God's river which makes th' earth so rich,  
pours down at thy command,  
It doth with water flow,  
and corn thou dost bestow,  
When as thou hast by thy forecast,  
provided for it so.  
verse 10 Her ridges all aloft  
thou water'st very oft:  
Her furrows all thou mak'st to fall,  
with showers thou mak'st it soft.  
verse 11 Her budding thou dost bless,  
thy goodness, Lord, no less  
Doth crown the year, and every where  
thy paths drop fruitfulness.  
verse 12 They drop on deserts wide,  
thy pastures are supplied:  
While rain distils, the little hills  
rejoice on every side.  
verse 13 The pastures flocks forth bring,  
with corn the valley's spring:  
And covered o'er with stock and store,  
they shout for joy and sing.   

psalm LXVI.  
London Tune.  
O all ye lands, in God rejoice;  
Sing forth his praise and fame:  
Ex -- tol him both with heart and voice  
and glow --- ri --- fie his name.  
verse 3 How terrible, O Lord, say ye,  
in all thy works thou art!  
Thy foes are forced to yield to thee,  
though with a feigned heart.  
verse 4 To thee shall all the earth bow down,  
and sing to thee, O Lord:  
Thy holy names reserved renown  
in songs shall they record.  
verse 5 The works of God, O come and see;  
ye shall acknowledge then  
How terrible his actions be,  
unto the sons of men.  
verse 6 He turned the sea to firm dry land,  
and where the ships do swim,  
We went on foot as on the sand,  
there we rejoiced in him.  
verse 7 He rules with power for ev'rmore,  
his eyes all lands espy:  
Let not rebellious men therefore  
exalt themselves on high.  

The second part.  
verse 8 O all ye people, bless our God,  
and let the cheerful voice  
Of his due praise be heard abroad,  
while we in him rejoice.  
verse 9 Who setting dangers all aside,  
our soul in life doth stay:  
And suffering not our foot to slide,  
upholds us in our way.  
verse 10 But thou hast tried and proved us yet,  
even as the skilful tryer  
Doth prove his Silver, casting it  
into the hottest fire.  
verse 11 Thou broughtest us into the net,  
where we entangled were:  
And great afflictions, very great,  
thou mad'st our loins to bear.  
verse 11 Thou mad'st fierce men ride o'er our heads  
we went through flames and floods:  
But now thou hast thy people led  
to places stored with goods.   

The third part.  
verse 13 Lord, I will go into thy house,  
burnt-off'rings I will bring:  
And I will pay thee all my vows,  
fulfilling every thing.  
verse 14 The vows which with my mouth I speak,  
in all my grief and smart:  
The vows I say which I did make  
in anguish of my heart.  
verse 5 I'll offer thee burnt-sacrifice,  
incense and fat of rams:  
And I will offer thee likewise  
fat bullocks, goats, and lambs,  
verse 16 Come forth and hearken, every one  
that fears the living Lord:  
What he for my poor soul hath done,  
I will to you record.  
verse 17 I called upon his sacred name,  
this mouth to him did cry:  
My tongue likewise extolled his fame  
with great alacrity.  
verse 18 I also watched lest any way  
my heart should sin regard:  
For than I knew when I did pray,  
my prayer should not be heard.  
verse 19 But God hath heard me verily,  
and did full well attend  
Unto my prayer and fervent cry,  
which did to him ascend.  
verse 20 All praise to him, to him I say,  
that always had regard;  
And never put my prayer away,  
nor sent me home unheard.    

Psalm LXVII.  
Southwell Tune.  
HAve mer --- cy on us, Lord,  
and grant to us thy grace:  
And un -- to us do thou of -- ford  
the bright-ness of thy face.  
verse 2 That all the earth may know  
the way to godly wealth:  
And all that live on earth below,  
may see thy saving health.  
verse 3 Let all the world, O God  
give praise unto thy name:  
O let the people all abroad  
extol and laud the same.  
verse 4 Throughout the world so wide,  
let all rejoice with mirth:  
For thou shalt justly judge and guide  
the nations of the earth.  
verse 5 Let all the world O God,  
give praise unto thy name:  
O let the people all abroad  
extol and laud the same,  
verse 6 Then shall the earth increase,  
great store of fruit shall fall?  
And God our God shall grant us peace,  
and greatly bless us all.  
verse 7 Yea, God shall bless us all,  
and earth both far and near:  
And people all in general  
of him shall stand in fear.   

Psalm LXVIII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
LEt God om-ni --- po-tent arise,  
his scattered foes to chase:  
And let his hate -- full e --- ne-mies  
fly from his an ---- gry face.  
As dri-ven smoke dis-pel them quite;  
as fire makes wax to fry,  
So let them pe--rish in his sight,  
that work in --- i ----- qui -- ty.  
But let the just be filled with joy,  
rejoicing in his sight:  
Yea let them most exceedingly  
rejoice with great delight.  
Sing unto God, and sound his praise,  
who backed the vaulting sky:  
By Jah (his name) his honour raise,  
and let your joys go high.  
verse 5 A father of the fatherless,  
and judge of widow's case  
Is God, whose throne of holiness  
is in the highest place.  
verse 6 He stores the solitary cell,  
he frees the chained and bound:  
But le's rebellious people dwell  
and starve in barren ground.  

The second part.  
verse 7 O God, when thou wast in the head  
of all thy people's host,  
When marching thou their camp didst lead  
along the desert coast;  
verse 8 The earth did at thy presence quake,  
in drops the heavens fell:  
Thy sight made Sinai's hill to shake,  
O God of Israel.  
verse 9 O God, thou didst the drought assuage,  
sending a plent'ous rain:  
Whereby thy weary heritage  
was well refreshed again.  
verse 10 Thy congregation settled there,  
for thou didst it restore:  
Thou of thy goodness didst prepare  
a dwelling for the poor.  
verse 11 God gave the word of victory  
and presently there came  
Innumerable company,  
that published the same.  
verse 12 The kings of armies (overcome)  
were forced to flee away:  
And even she that stayed at home  
helped to divide the prey.   

The third part.  
verse 13 Though ye have lain among the pots,  
ye shall be to behold  
As wings of doves with silver spots,  
and plumed with yellow Gold.  
verse 14 When the Almighty in our sight  
gave kings the overthrow,  
Victorious israel shined as bright  
as doth the Salmon snow.  
verse 15 The hill whereon Jehovah dwells,  
as Bashen hill we count:  
A lofty hill that parallels  
the height of Bashan mount.  
verse 16 The higher hills, why leap ye so?  
for this must be the hill  
Which God doth for his dwelling know,  
and so he ever will.  
verse 17 God's chariots twenty thousand are,  
myriads of chief account:  
The Lord's among them, as it were  
in Sina's holy mount.  
verse 18 Thou hast ascended up on high,  
and thou, O Christ, didst then  
Led captive our captivity,  
receiving gifts for men.  
Yea even for rebellious men  
thou didst those gifts receive:  
That God the Lord might dwell with them,  
and they rebellion leave.  
verse 19 Blessed be God that doth us load  
with daily favours thus:  
Even that God that hath bestowed  
salvation upon us.  
verse 20 For our God is the God alone  
that doth salvation give:  
And those that under death do groan,  
by him alone do live.  
verse 21 But God shall wound his enemies' head,  
and in his kindled wrath  
Shall make his hairy scalp to bleed,  
that holds his sinful path.   

The fourth part.  
verse 22 I'll bring again, the Lord did say,  
from Bashan when I please:  
I'll bring my people safe away,  
even from the deepest seas.  
verse 23 That thou mayst dip thy foot in blood  
of adversaries slain:  
And bathing in the crimson flood,  
thy dogs their tongues may slain.  
verse 24 For they have seen, O God, this thing,  
they saw thy steps divine;  
The goings of my Lord, my king,  
within his sacred shrine.  
verse 25 In first place went the singing men,  
the minstrels next aspire:  
The damsels with the timbrels then  
made up the sacred choir.  
verse 26 O bless the Lord, his praise forth tell  
where all the church doth meet:  
Even from the spring of Israel,  
sound forth his praises sweet.  
verse 27 There little Benjamin doth run,  
and Judah's company:  
The Princes too of Zebulon,  
and those of Napthali.  
verse 28 Thy God by his supreme command  
hath strengthened thee thus:  
Strengthen O God by thy good hand,  
what thou hast wrought for us.  
verse 29 Thy temple at Jerusalem  
shall then cause foreign kings  
To bring to thee their diadem,  
and all their precious things.   

The fifth part.  
verse 30 Rebuke the spearmen's company,  
and that unruly crew  
Of bulls and calves, till generally  
they pay their tributes due;  
Till each man silver plate presents:  
disperse and scatter far  
All those tumultuous malcontents,  
that take delight in war.  
verse 31 Then shall the lords of Egypt land  
to thee their presents bring:  
The Blackmoors shall stretch out their hand  
unto their heavenly king.  
verse 32 Sing unto God most joyfully,  
ye kingdoms of the earth:  
O sing unto the Lord most high,  
and sing his praise with mirth,  
verse 33 The heavens of heavens of old which backs  
like some well managed steed:  
Hark how his voice in thunder cracks,  
a mighty voice indeed.  
verse 34 Ascribe ye strength to our great God,  
whose excellency rare  
Is over Isr'el plainly showed,  
whose strength the clouds declare.  
verse 35 O God thou art a dreadful one,  
and so thou dost appear  
From heaven thy high and holy throne,  
and in thy temple there.  
For israel God and Saviour,  
he is the very same  
That gives his people strength and power,  
and blessed be his name.

Bristol Tune.  
SAve me, O God, of thy free grace,  
for now the bill -- lows roll;  
And pres-sing on come in a -- pace

verse 2 I sink in deepest mire and mud,  
where is no standing ground:  
I am overwhelmed with the flood,  
whose waters do abound.  
verse 3 Uncessant crying wear'eth me,  
my throat is hoarse likewise:  
While, O my God, I wait for thee  
with sick and famished eyes.  
verse 4 And they that hate me causelessly,  
I reckon to be more  
Than are the very hairs (I think)  
which on my head do grow.  
And they that would destroy me, Lord,  
my wrongful foes are they,  
And mighty, so that I restored  
what I took not away.  
verse 5 O God, thou knowst my foolishness,  
and thou dost fully see:  
If I have done unright'ousness,  
it is not hid from thee.  
verse 6 Let none that wait upon thy name,  
Lord God of hosts, I pray,  
Let none of them be put to shame  
for my sake any way.  
verse 7 Because for thy sake, Lord, alone,  
I suffer this disgrace:  
For thy sake, Lord, and not my own,  
hath shame o'erspread my face.  
verse 8 A stranger now I am become  
to brethren of my own:  
One mother bore us in her womb,  
yet am I as unknown.  
verse 9 For zeal hath quite consumed me,  
which to thy house I bear:  
And the reproaches cast at thee,  
are fallen to be my share.  

The second part.  
verse 10 When I did weep, when I did fast  
for chastening of my soul,  
That in a scoff at me they cast,  
and did reproach me foul.  
verse 11 I put on sackcloth to my shame,  
for they my deed condemn:  
And when I wore it I became  
a proverb unto them.  
verse 12 They that did sit within the gate,  
discoursed of these as crimes:  
And drunkards as they quaffing sat,  
did put me in their rhymes.  
verse 13 But as for me, O Lord, my prayer  
waits the propitious hour:  
Let me thy bounteous mercy's share,  
and prove thy saving power.  
verse 14 Deliver me out of the mire,  
and me from sinking keep;  
From those that do my hurt desire,  
and from the waters deep.  
verse 15 Let not the flood prevail a whit,  
whose water overflows;  
Nor deep devour me, nor the pit,  
her mouth upon me close.  
verse 16 Hear me, O Lord, for thou art still  
both loving, kind and good:  
Thy tender mercies on me spill,  
and drown me in that flood.  
verse 17 And from thy servant do not hide  
thy face in this my need:  
I am oppressed on every side,  
O hear me, Lord, with speed.  
verse 18 Unto my troubled soul draw nigh,  
redeem and set it free:  
And from mine enemies' tyranny  
do thou deliver me.  
verse 19 Thou knowst all my reproach and shame,  
thou seest my great disgrace:  
Mine enemies which procure the same  
are all before thy face.   

The third part.  
verse 20 My heart is broke with obloquy,  
and I am full of grief,  
I looked for some to pity me,  
but no man gave relief.  
verse 21 In vain on comforters I think,  
when gall they gave for meat:  
And gave me vinegar to drink,  
when as my thirst was great.  
verse 22 O turn their table to a snare:  
and that which should have been  
For to have made them well to far,  
a trap to take them in.  
verse 23 Let darkness be before their eyes.  
and let them still mistake:  
Yea and enforce their guilty loins  
continually to shake.  
verse 24 Pour out thine indignation still,  
with force on them to fall:  
And let thine anger terrible  
take hold upon them all.  
verse 25 And let their habitation  
be desolate and waste:  
And in their empty tents not one  
inhabitant be placed.  
verse 26 For lo, they persecute him much  
whom thou hast smote before:  
And talk unto the grief of such,  
as thou hast wounded sore.  
verse 27 Add therefore sin unto their sin,  
and let them still transgress:  
And let them never enter in  
into thy righteousness.  
verse 28 O let the book of life be raced,  
and thence their names be took,  
And never with the just be placed  
in that most blessed book.  
verse 29 But I am poor and full of grief,  
Lord, to my soul draw nigh:  
Let thy salvation give relief,  
and set me up on high.  
verse 30 I will take up a joyful song  
God's praises to proclaim;  
Extol him with a thankful tongue,  
and magnify his name.  
verse 31 And this shall please the Lord likewise,  
and make a better proof  
Than ox, or bull in sacrifice,  
that hath both horn and hoof  
verse 32 Hereat the humble shall be glad,  
to see it with their eye:  
And lo your heart that seeks for God,  
shall live and never die.  
verse 33 For lo, the Lord doth hear the cries,  
which his poor servants make:  
Those prisoners he doth not despise  
that suffer for his sake.  
verse 34 Therefore let heaven his praises sing,  
the earth and all the seas:  
And also every kind of thing  
that lives and moves in these.  
verse 35 For surely God will Zion save,  
and Jadah's cities rear:  
That dwelling houses men may have,  
and large possessions there;  
verse 36 His servants seed (the faithful race)  
inheriting the same:  
And it shall be the dwelling-place  
of them that love his name.    

Psalm LXX.  
To the 51 Psalm Tune.  
MAke haste, O Lord, and set me free,  
make haste, O God, and suc -- cour me.  
Confounded them with con-founding shame,  
that seek my soul, to hurt the same.  
Let them be turned backward still  
turned back with shame that wish me ill.  
verse 3 Reward their shame that say, Aha,  
and let confusion be their pay.  
verse 4 All that seek thee, and all that love  
salvation coming from above.  
Full glad in thee let them abide,  
still saying, God be magnified.  
verse 5 But I am needy, weak and poor,  
make haste to help me Lord therefore:  
My help and my deliverer,  
thou art, O Lord, do not defer.   

Psalm LXXI.  
Lowath Tune.  
O Lord, I put my trust in thee,  
when plun -- ged in di -- stress:  
Let no confu -- sion seize on me,  
nor shame my soul op -- press.  
verse 2 Defend me in thy righteousness,  
and rescue me with speed:  
Incline thine ear with readiness,  
and save me at my need.  
verse 3 Be thou my rock, where I may have,  
all times a safe resort:  
'Twas thy command thy saint to save,  
O thou my strength and fort.  
verse 4 Save me, my God, from wicked men,  
and from their strength and power;  
From folk unright'ous, and from them  
that cruelly devour.  
verse 5 On thee, O God, my hopes attend,  
and upon none beside:  
My youth did upon thee depend,  
as it's most faithful guide.  
verse 6 Thou hast upheld me from my birth,  
thou tookest care of me  
Even from the womb, thou brought'st me forth,  
my praise still waits on thee.  
verse 7 Indeed I seem a prodigy  
to many carnal eyes:  
But my strong refuge is on high,  
on him my hope relies.  
verse 8 Therefore my mouth shall daily sing  
the glory of thy name:  
And let it not speak any thing,  
but of thy praise and fame.  

The second part.  
verse 9 My God, O cast me not away,  
when age my limbs doth shake:  
And when my vigour doth decay,  
do not my soul forsake.  
verse 10 For they that bore me causeless hate,  
against me speak full ill:  
And they that for my soul lay wait,  
conspire against me still.  
verse 11 Lay hands upon him now they said,  
and let us all fall on:  
For there is none to be his aid,  
his God from him is gone.  
verse 12 Therefore, O God, that seest my need,  
far from me do not be:  
But Lord my God, make haste, make speed  
to help and succour me.  
verse 13 Confound them and consume them all,  
that do against me rise:  
Let scorn and shame upon them fall  
that do my hurt devise.  
verse 14 But I on thee my hopes have set,  
and laid them up in store:  
Nor will I ever thee forget,  
but praise thee more and more.  
verse 15 I will do nothing all the day  
but show thy righteousness:  
All day thy saving joys display,  
for they are numberless.  
verse 16 Assisted by thy strength, O God,  
I will go safely on:  
Thy righteousness I'll spread abroad,  
thy righteousness alone.  
verse 17 For from my tender inafncy,  
O God, thou hast me taught:  
And I have told continually  
what wonders thou hast wrought.  
verse 18 Forsake me not now I am old,  
now that my hairs grow white:  
Till unto this age have told,  
and showed the next thy might.   

The third part.  
verse 19 Thy righteousness, O God, exceeds  
in the most high degree:  
Thou hast performed wondrous deeds,  
who can compare with thee?  
verse 20 Thou who hast showed me troubles sore,  
even thou my life shalt save:  
And though I were entombed, restore  
and bring me from the grave.  
verse 21 My greatness thou shalt much increase,  
my comforts shall abound:  
And with thy comforts and thy peace  
thou shalt enclose me round.  
verse 22 I will instruct each warbling string  
to make thy praises known:  
Yea, O my God, thy truth I'll sing,  
O Israel's holy one.  
verse 23 A multitude of joys shall throng  
about my lips to sit;  
While my glad soul breathes out a song  
to him that ransomed it.  
verse 24 My tongue shall also now proclaim  
thy justice all day long:  
For they are quelled and brought to shame  
that seek to do me wrong.    

Psalm LXXII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
LOrd give thy judgements to the king,  
that ju --- stice may be done:  
And give the skill of go-vern-ing  
un --- to his prince --- lie son.  
Then shall he go-vern up -- right-ly,  
and do thy peo --- ple right:  
Then shall he judge with e -- quity  
the poor that have no might.  
verse 3 The very mountains he shall bless,  
to bring the people peace:  
The little hills by righteousness  
shall yield a great increase.  
verse 4 And he shall judge the indigent,  
and save the poor and weak:  
And the oppressor fraudulent  
in pieces he shall break.  
verse 5 and then from age to age shall they  
regard and fear thy might:  
So long as sun doth shine by day,  
or else the moon by night.  
verse 6 He shall descend as soaking rain  
upon the mown grass:  
As showers that water hills and plains,  
whatever way they pass.  
verse 7 The just shall flourish in his days  
and all shall be at peace:  
Until the very moon decays,  
and all its motions cease.  
verse 8 He shall be Lord of sea and land,  
from shore to shore throughout?  
From sea to sea on either hand,  
and all the earth about.  
verse 9 All those that in the deserts dwell,  
before him bow they must:  
His enemies he will compel  
to stoop and lick the dust.  
verse 10 The kings of Tarshish and the Isles,  
Sheba and Seba's king,  
Shall come with presents many mlies,  
and gifts to him shall bring.  
verse 11 Yea all the kings and higher powers  
shall kneel before his throne:  
All nations and their governor's  
shall serve this king alone.  
verse 12 For he the needy one shall save,  
when unto him they call:  
The poor I say, and them that have  
no help of man at all.  

The second part.  
verse 13 Most mercifully he shall spare  
the poor whom power controls:  
And he will ever have a care  
to save poor needy souls.  
verse 14 From violence and thrall shall he  
their abject souls redeem:  
And in his sight their blood shall be  
of singular esteem.  
verse 15 And he shall live, till they bring store  
to him of Sheba's gold:  
He shall be praised for evermore,  
and daily be extoll'd·  
verse 16 Handfuls of corn shall grow upon  
the pregnant mountain tops:  
The fruit shall shake like Lebanon,  
of that same little crop.  
The Citizens of Zion hill  
shall flourish as the grass:  
And in great peace and plenty still  
their happy days shall pass.  
verse 17 His name shall last and be in mind,  
till sun's surcease and rest:  
And as a blessing to mankind  
all lands shall call him blest.  
verse 18 Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing  
to israel's God each one:  
For he doth every wondrous thing,  
yea he himself alone.  
verse 19 And blessed be his glorious name  
to all eternity:  
Let th' earth be filled with his fame:  
Amen, amen say I.    

Psalm LXXIII.  
Martyr's Tune.  
TO Is --- ra'l true --- lie God is good,  
to each pure-heart--ed one  
But as for me I scare -- lie stood  
my feet were all --- most gone.  
verse 3 For I was galled grievously,  
and moved with envy then,  
Beholding the prosperity  
of these ungodly men.  
verse 4 For in their death no bands there are,  
their strength is firm and sure:  
verse 5 They have no plagues, no grief, nor care,  
which other men endure.  
verse 6 Pride therefore, like brave Ornaments,  
doth compass them about:  
And like a garment violence  
doth cover them throughout.  
verse 7 Their eyes stand out with very fat,  
of wealth they have such store;  
What heart can wish, nor only that,  
but even a great deal more.  
verse 8 Corrupt they are and very vain,  
and with unbridled tongue  
Oppression proudly they maintain,  
and highly boast of wrong.  
verse 9 Against the heavens all along  
their daring mouth dares talk:  
And their unbridled lavish tongue  
throughout the earth doth walk.  
verse 10 Therefore God's people oft come up,  
and here they turn about,  
Since waters of so full a cup  
to them are poured out.  

The second part.  
verse 11 And thus they say, how can it be  
that God should ever know?  
And the most high discern and see  
the things that are so low?  
verse 12 Behold, these the ungodly are,  
that seem to live in peace;  
And prosper in the world so far,  
whose riches still increase.  
verse 13 Then said I, I may gather hence,  
that I with too much pain  
Have washed my hands in innocence,  
and cleansed my heart in vain.  
verse 14 For I was plagued for my sin,  
even all day long, O God:  
And every morning I have been  
chastised with thy rod.  
verse 15 But when I had conceived all this,  
I still refrained my tongue;  
Lest I should censure saints amiss,  
and do thy children wrong.  
verse 16 Then I bethought me how I might  
this matter understand:  
But lo the labour was too great  
for me to take in hand.  
verse 17 Till in thy house I did attend,  
and there, O Lord, and then  
I understood the wretched end  
of these ungodly men.  
verse 18 For surely in a slippery place  
thou causedst them to sit:  
To cast them down with great disgrace  
into Destruction's pit.  
verse 19 A moment brings their misery,  
O great and wondrous change!  
They are consumed utterly  
with terrors great and strange.  
verse 20 Even as a dream in fancy's brow,  
from waking senses flies:  
, Lord, when thou awak'st thou shalt  
their Image quite despise,   

The Third part.  
verse 21 Yet thus my heart was grieved hereby,  
and pain my reins oppressed  
verse 22 So rude and ignorant was I,  
and in thy sight a beast.  
verse 23 Nevertheless I do remain  
continually with thee:  
By thy right hand thou dost sustain,  
and firmly holdest me.  
verse 24 Thy counsels, Lord, which I regard.  
are my most faithful guide:  
And thou shalt take me afterward  
to heaven glorified.  
verse 25 For whom have I in heaven but thee▪  
nor is there any one  
In all the earth desired of me,  
except thyself alone.  
verse 26 My flesh doth fail me very sore,  
but God upholds my heart:  
He is my strength for evermore,  
my portion and my part.  
verse 27 For they that far estranged be,  
lo they and every one  
That go a whoring Lord, from thee,  
shall quite be overthrown.  
verse 28 But now for me 'tis best of all,  
near thee my God to dwell:  
I trust in God, and that I shall  
of all thy wonders tell.    

Palm LXXIV.  
Dublin Tune.  
WHy art thou, Lord, so far from us  
in all this dan -- her deep?  
Why doth thine an --- her kin --- dle thus  
a --- 'gainst thy pa--sture sheep?  
verse 2 From times of old remember still  
where thy possessions fell:  
The purchas't place of Zion hill,  
where thou wast wont to dwell.  
verse 3 Perpetual ruines here begun;  
come help, and come apace:  
See what thy foes have lewdly done  
within thy holy place.  
verse 4 Amidst thy congregation here,  
thine enemies' rage and roar;  
And set for signs their ensigns there  
where thou wast served before.  
verse 5 A man was famous formerly,  
for hewing down thick trees,  
By lifting up his axe on high,  
to fetch his blow at these.  
verse 6 But now they rend and raze as fast,  
and all at once are broke:  
The curious carved work defaced,  
with axe and hammer's stroke.  
verse 7 Thy holy house they set on flame,  
defiled, and cast to ground:  
The dwelling-place of thy great name,  
where once thou wast renowned.  
verse 8 They said in heart, come on, let us  
destroy them out of hand:  
And they have burnt up every house  
of God in all the land.  
verse 9 Our signs are lost, our prophets gone,  
thine oracles are dumb:  
Among us all there is not one  
konws when an end shall come.  

The second part.  
verse 10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy  
breath such reproach and shame?  
Lord, shall our foes perpetually  
blaspheme thy sacred name?  
verse 11 Wherefore, O Lord, withdrawest thou  
thy hand, even thy right hand,  
O from thy bosom pluck it now,  
thy enemies to withstand.  
verse 12 For God is israel's king of old,  
who hath salvation wrought:  
And all the earth may well behold  
what help to his he brought.  
verse 13 Thou by thy strength didst part the seas,  
where liquid water spreads:  
And in the very depth of these  
thou brok'st the dragon's heads.  
verse 14 Leviathans heads thou didst divide,  
although their strength was great:  
And thus thy people were supplied  
i'th' wilderness for meat.  
verse 15 The flood and fountain, Lord most high,  
thy power did cleave in two:  
And mighty rivers thou mad'st dry,  
that israel might go through.  
verse 16 The shining day and shady night,  
peculiarly are thine.  
Thou hast, O Lord, prepared the light,  
and caused the sun to shine.  
verse 17 The earth with all the ends and coasts,  
thy mighty hand did frame:  
Both summer's heat and winter's frosts  
by thine appointment came,   

The third part.  
verse 18 O Lord let this remembered be,  
how great reproach and shame  
The en'my dares to cast on thee,  
how fools blaspheme thy name.  
verse 19 Thy turtles soul which many hate,  
do not to them deliver:  
Thy congregations poor estate  
do not forget for ever.  
verse 20 Regard thy covenant, rid and cleanse  
dark corners of our land,  
So full of cruel Robbers dens,  
as every where they stand.  
verse 21 O let not those that are oppressed  
return again with shame:  
But help the needy and distressed.  
and let them praise thy name.  
verse 22 Arise, O Lord, and still maintain  
the cause that is thy own:  
Remember well how fools disdain,  
and daily scorns are thrown.  
verse 23 Forget not, Lord, how great it grows  
how insolent, how high,  
The tumults of thy rebel foes  
increase continually.    

Psalm LXXV.  
St. mary Tune.  
O God, we tender thanks to thee,  
to thee we give the same:  
For by thy won-drous works we see  
the near --- ness of thy name.  
verse 2 When I the congregation call,  
an upright judge I'll be.  
verse 3 The earth's dissolved, the men and all,  
her pillars hold by me.  
verse 4 But I admonished them the while,  
ye wicked fools, said I,  
Be not so vain, be not so vile,  
nor lift your horn so high.  
verse 5 Presumptuous horns do not advance,  
nor speak with haughty mouth:  
verse 6 Promotion doth not come by chance,  
from east, or west, or south.  
verse 7 But God is sovereign judge alone,  
and there can be no other:  
He at his pleasure pulls down one,  
and setteth up another.  
verse 8 For in God's hand there is a cup,  
the liquor that it hath  
Is wine as red as blood filled up  
with mixtures of his wrath  
He pours it out and he will make  
the wicked of the land,  
Wring out the very dregs, and take,  
and drink them at his hand.  
verse 9 To jacob's God I will each day  
declare fresh songs of praise.  
verse 10 The wicked's horns I'll cut away,  
but righteous men's I'll raise.   

Psalm LXXVI  
To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
IN Ju --- dah God is known to his,  
his name is great in Is -- ra --- el:  
His san -- ctu'-ry at Sa --- lem is  
he doth in Si --- on-moun-tain dwell.  
verse 3 The bows and arrows broke he there,  
the battle, shield, and sword and spear.  
verse 4 Thou art more glorious every way,  
and excellent then mounts of prey.  
verse 5 The stout of heart are overthrown,  
and they have slept their sleeps last night:  
And of the mighty men, not one,  
hath found his hands wherewith to fight.  
verse 6 O God of Jacob, thy reproof  
spoiled rattling wheel, and thundering hoof:  
Chariot and horse, at thy fierce blast,  
into a sleep of death are cast.  
verse 7 Thou, thou alone art worthy fear,  
for who may stand before thine eyes?  
Who dares approach, who dares appear,  
when once thy burning wrath doth rise?  
verse 8 From heaven thou mak'st thy judgements heard;  
the silent earth was sore afraid,  
verse 9 When God arose to Judgement then,  
to save on earth all humble men.  
verse 10 Man's wrath shall surely praise thy name,  
henceforth held in by thy restraints.  
verse 11 O make your vows, and pay the same  
unto the Lord your God ye saints.  
verse 12 Let all about him presents bring  
to him that daunts the proudest king:  
To him, I say, whose fear compels,  
and princes spirits curbs and quells.   

Psalm LXXVII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
I with my voice to God did cry,  
my sad e-state to see  
My voice did cry to God on high,  
and he gave ear to me-  
I sought him in my woe --- full day,  
my sore still ran all night:  
My wea--ry soul did put a --- way  
all come -- for't and de --- light.  
verse 3 I thought on God in my distress,  
yet trouble did remain:  
And overwhelmed with heaviness,  
my soul did sore complain.  
verse 4 Mine eyes from sleep thou dost restrain,  
and mak'st me still to wake:  
I am so vexed and full of pain,  
my speech doth me forsake  
verse 5 Then thought I on the days of old,  
the years of ancient times;  
Wherein Gods mercies manifold  
did overflow our crimes.  
verse 6 My song by night I called to mind.  
I communed with my heart:  
My soul made earnest search to find  
some word to ease my smart.  
verse 7 Alas said I, what will the Lord  
cast off, and not restore?  
And from henceforth will he afford  
no favour any more?  
verse 8 Is all his mercy ceased and gone?  
must that no more prevail?  
The promise of the holy one,  
shall that for ever fail?  
verse 9 Hath God forgotten to express  
his mercy's wont measure  
Is his dear love and tenderness  
shut up in his displeasure?  
verse 10 Then said I, my infirmity  
doth cause these doubts and fears:  
I will recall what the most high  
hath done in former years.  

The second part.  
verse 11 I will retain in memory  
thy wonders manifold:  
I will remember certainly  
thy wondrous works of old.  
verse 12 And I will also meditate  
of all thy works of fame:  
And I will cheerfully relate  
how thou hast wrought the same.  
verse 13 Within thy sanctuary bright  
thy way, O God, is known:  
And there is none to match the might  
of our Almighty one.  
verse 14 Thou art the God by whose great might  
are wrought such wonders rare:  
And plainly in thy people's sight  
thy works thou didst declare.  
verse 15 All israels whole posterity  
are thy redeemed indeed:  
Thy arm did set at liberty  
Jacob and joseph's seed.  
verse 16 The waters did thy visage see,  
they saw and were afraid:  
And at the very sight of thee  
the depths were sore dismayed.  
verse 17 Excessive storms the clouds poured out,  
the skies sent forth a sound:  
Thy arrows also walked about,  
and were dispersed round.  
verse 18 Thy thundering voice was heard on high  
and even from heaven it spoke:  
Thy lightnings lightened earth and sky:  
the earth did move and quake.  
verse 19 Great waters and great seas there be,  
which thou didst tread and trace:  
Though none can now thy footsteps see,  
nor know the certain place.  
verse 20 By Moses and by Aaron's hand  
thou didst lead (towards the deep)  
Thy people to the promised land,  
like to a flock or sheep.    

Psalm LXXVIII.  
St. mary Tune.  
Hark -- en, my peo -- ple, to my law  
en -- cline your ears to hear:  
And let my speech at -- ten-tion draw  
and win a list--ning ear.  
verse 2 My mouth shall speak a parable,  
and sayings dark and old:  
verse 3 Which we have heard and known so well,  
and which our fathers told.  
verse 4 We will not from their seed conceal  
the wonders God hath done:  
His praise and power we will reveal  
unto the age to come.  
verse 5 For God himself established  
in Jacob this decree:  
This statute he determined  
in Israel for to be.  
And charged our fathers every one,  
that what he had decreed,  
They should express, and make it known  
to their ensuing seed.  
verse 6 That th' age to come and following race,  
his testaments might know:  
Who should arise in father's place,  
and them to theirs should show.  
verse 7 That they thereby might learn to set  
their hope in God above:  
And might not God's great works forget,  
but keep his law in love.  
verse 8 And like their fathers might not be,  
degenerate and base:  
A stiff and stubborn progeny,  
and a rebellious race.  
A generation sure they were,  
whose heart was not set right:  
Whose soul likewise was not sincere  
and perfect in God's sight.  

The second part.  
verse 9 The sons of Ephraim, carrying bows,  
nor did they armour lack,  
In day of battle with their foes,  
were forced to turn them back.  
verse 10 God's covenant they observed not,  
nor would his laws regard:  
verse 11 His works and wonders they forgot,  
which he to them declared.  
verse 12 Great marvels had their fathers known,  
all acted in their sight:  
In Egypt and the field of Zoan,  
performed by his might.  
verse 13 The sea for them he did divide,  
and did the channel drain:  
He heaped the water on each side,  
and made for them a lane.  
verse 14 He led them with a cloud by day,  
and with a brighter light  
Of flaming fire he showed the way,  
and led them all the night.  
verse 15 The stronger rocks he also clavae  
within the desert dry:  
And, like as from great depths, he gave  
them drink abundantly.  
verse 16 From rocks he made the streams to rush,  
and by his power supreme  
He made the waters run full gush:  
as fast as any stream.  
verse 17 Yet did they sin exceedingly,  
and more and more transgress  
Greatly provoking the most high  
within the wilderness.  
verse 18 Yea in their heart their sin was great,  
for (out of deep distrust)  
They tempted God, by ask meat  
to satisfy their lust.  
verse 19 Yea against God they spoke no less,  
and said profanely thus,  
A table in the wilderness  
can God povide for us?   

The third part.  
verse 20 Behold he smote the rock indeed,  
and thence gushed waters great:  
But can he give his people bread,  
and send them flesh to eat?  
verse 21 Therefore the Lord this thing discerned,  
and caused his wrath to swell:  
His anger against Jacob burned,  
and scorched Israel;  
verse 22 Since they did not on God rely,  
nor in that saviour hope.  
verse 23 Though he had charged the lofty sky,  
and heaven-doors set open.  
verse 24 And showers of manna he did rain,  
for them to eat their fill:  
And gave them of the finest grain  
that heaven could distil.  
verse 25 So mortal man did freely eat  
the food of angels rare:  
For God sent down that heavenly meat,  
enough and yet to spare,  
verse 26 He caused an east wind which he sent,  
to blow in heaven by kind:  
And by his power omnipotent  
brought in the southern wind.  
verse 27 He reigned upon them living flesh,  
like summer's dust for store:  
And feathered foul he brought them fresh,  
as sand upon the shore.  
verse 28 In midst of all the camp throughout  
he let it gently fall:  
And he dispersed it round about  
their habitations all.  
verse 29 So they did eat their greedy fill;  
their own desire he gave;  
verse 30 Nor were estranged from their own will,  
nor what their lust did crave.  
But while the meat was in their mouth,  
verse 31 Gods wrath upon them fell.  
And slew the flower of all their youth,  
and choice of Israel.  
verse 32 Yet for all this they sinned still,  
their gracious God they grieve:  
And let his works be what they will,  
they never would believe.  
verse 33 Therefore he made their destiny  
their miseries to double;  
Spending their days in vanity,  
and all their years in trouble.   

The fourth part.  
verse 34 But when he slew these wicked men,  
they back to God retired;  
And sought him very early then:  
and after God enquired.  
verse 35 Remembering then that God alone  
was all the rock they had  
And that redeemer they had none,  
except the highest God.  
verse 36 Yet did they even all along  
but flatter with their mouth  
They lied unto him with their tongue,  
and sought him not in truth.  
verse 37 For still their heart's hypocrisy  
was manifestly showed:  
And that they walked not steadfastly  
in covenant with their God.  
verse 38 But he so full of clemency,  
their injuries forgot;  
And pardoned their iniquity,  
and overthrew them not.  
Yea, many a time he pleased to turn,  
destruction from their path:  
And would not let his anger burn,  
nor stir up all his wrath.  
verse 39 For graciously he called to mind  
how that they were but flesh;  
And like a temporary wind,  
that doth not come afresh.  
verse 40 How often in the wilderness  
did they provoke him sore:  
And in the deserts did transgress,  
and grieve him more and more.  
verse 41 Yea, they turned back, as always prone  
to tempt the Lord most high:  
And limited the holy one  
of Isra'l shamefully.  
verse 42 They were unmindful of his hand,  
and of that famous day,  
When from the foe in foreign land  
he brought them safe away.  
verse 43 What signs likewise by him were done,  
which were in Egypt shown,  
And mighty wonders many a one  
within the fields of Zoan.  
verse 44 How he had turned the rivers there  
to dismal streams of blood:  
So that the thirsty passenger  
abhorred the crystal flood.   

The fifth part.  
verse 45 He sent of flies of divers sorts,  
amongst them to devour:  
And to destroy them in their courts,  
he joined the frogs in power.  
verse 46 He let the caterpillars eat  
the fruit of all their soil:  
And gave their labours hopeful sweat  
to be the locusts spoil.  
verse 47 Their pleasant vines with hail-stone showers  
were beaten down and lost:  
And all their spreading sycamores  
were perished with the frost.  
verse 48 Their cattle also he assaults  
with battering showers of hail:  
And with the burning thunderbolts  
he did their flocks assail.  
verse 49 Fierce anger wrath and discontent  
he let as fiercely fall:  
By evil Angels, which he sent  
to vex and plague them all.  
verse 50 He making way for his fierce wrath,  
spared not their soul from death:  
But made the pestilence a path  
to force their dying breath.  
verse 51 He smote in Egypt in one night,  
the first born from the dam:  
The very chief of all their might,  
within the tents of Ham.  
verse 52 But made his people safely pass  
the danger of the deep:  
And led them in the wilderness,  
like to a flock of sheep.  
verse 53 He led them safe and free from fear,  
amidst the briny waves:  
But overwhelmed their enemies were,  
the seas became their graves.  
verse 54 And them unto the borders brought  
of his most sacred land:  
The mountains which himself had bought  
by power of his right hand.  
verse 55 The heathen too he did expel,  
and did their lands assign  
An heritage to Israel,  
dividing it by line:  
And made his tribes dwell in their tents,  
verse 56 Yet tempt they God most high,  
And kept not his commandments,  
but grieved him vehemently.  
verse 57 Unfaithfully they backwards slide,  
their fathers dealt just so:  
And they likewise were turned aside.  
like a deceitful bow.  
verse 58 With places which they built on high,  
they did the Lord displease:  
And moved him to jealousy  
with graven images.   

The sixth part.  
verse 59 When God heard this, (as he must needs)  
he was exceeding wrath:  
And israel which had done such deeds,  
he did abhor and loathe.  
verse 60 So that the tents of Shiloh were  
forsaken by him then:  
The tents which he had placed there  
among unworthy men.  
verse 61 And sent into captivity  
his ark in foreign land:  
And gave his beauteous dignity  
into his enemies' hand.  
verse 62 He gave his people to be slain  
by the devouring sword:  
And caused his wrath to scorch amain  
the her'tage of the Lord.  
verse 63 The fire of his increasing rage  
consumes their young men brave:  
And honourable marriage  
their maidens might not have.  
verse 64 Yea, by the sword their priests did fall,  
and yet, alas! there went  
No widows to the funeral▪  
their sad deaths to lament.  
verse 65 But then the Lord awoke anon,  
as one from sleep doth start:  
And shouted like a mighty man,  
when wine hath cheered his heart.  
verse 66 And smote his foes i'th'hinder parts  
to their perpetual shame:  
A vile disease for vile deserts,  
which on his enemies came.  
verse 67 And Joseph's tabernacle was  
wholly refused by him:  
And yet he chose not in those days  
the tribe of Ephraim,  
verse 68 But choose the tribe of Judah there  
even Zions sacred mount;  
Above all other places dear,  
and high in his account.  
verse 69 And there his holy temple placed,  
like palaces on high:  
And like the earth, which he set fast  
to all eternity.  
verse 70 He chose his servant David too,  
and from the folds of sheep  
He took him other work to do,  
a flock of souls to keep:  
verse 71 From following the great-bellied ewes,  
the Lords own flock to feed;  
His people Isra'l, and the Jews,  
that were of jacob's seed.  
verse 72 So David fed them faithfully,  
and governed all the land  
After his heart's integrity,  
and with a skilful hand.

Lowath Tune  
THe hea-then, Lord, come in a -- main,  
thine he ---- ri -- tage to waste:  
Thy ho -- lie tem -- i'll they pro -- fane,  
Je --- ru ---- sa --- lem is raced  
verse 2 Dead bodies of thy servants dear  
make ravenous fouls a feast:  
And thy saints flesh hurled here and there  
to every savage beast.  
verse 3 Their blood about Jerusalem,  
like water it is shed:  
And none was left to bury them  
when they were slain and dead.  
verse 4 Our neighbours near do us deride,  
and mock us to our face:  
And round about on every side  
they load us with disgrace.  
verse 5 How long Lord? shall it ever be  
before thy wrath expire?  
And shall thy kindled jealousy,  
for ever burn like fire?  
verse 6 Against heathen men that know thee not,  
Lord, let thine anger flame:  
And let it be the kingdom's lot  
that calls not on thy name.  
verse 7 For they have greedily devoured  
thy servant Jacob's race:  
And quite laid waste with fire and sword  
his ancient dwelling-place.  
verse 8 O think not on our former crimes,  
prevent us (be not slow)  
With tender mercy showed betimes,  
for we are very low.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Help us, O God, our strength and stay,  
thine honour lies at stake:  
Save us, and purge our sins away,  
merely for thy name's sake.  
verse 10 Why say the heathen, where's their God?  
be known then in their sight:  
Revenge on them thy servant's blood,  
which they have spilt in spite.  
verse 11 The prisoners throbbing sighs receive,  
admit their mournful cry  
And by thy sovereign power reprieve  
the men condemned to die.  
verse 12 And let our neighbours have restored  
into their bosoms bold  
The scorns they cast on thee, O Lord,  
restore them sevenfold.  
verse 13 So we thy flock and heritage  
will ever bless thy name:  
And spread thy praise from age to age,  
and celebrate thy fame.    

Palm LXXX.  
Dublin Tune.  
O Shep-herd, thou that dost pro-vide  
for Is ---- ra'ls tribe and stock,  
And dost the seed of Ja --- cob guide,  
and leadest him like a flock;  
Thou glorious God, that dwellest between  
the cherubims on high,  
Give ear, and let thy light be seen  
to shine forth glor'ously,  
verse 2 In Ephraim's and Manasses sight,  
and Benjamins appear:  
In all our sight stir up thy might,  
to save us Lord, draw near.  
verse 3 Turn us, O God, to thee again,  
for we too long have swerved:  
'Cause thou thy face on us to shine,  
and we shall be preserved.  
verse 4 Lord God of hosts, how long shall we  
be left to this despair?  
How long, Lord, wilt thou angry be  
at thy own People's prayer?  
verse 5 Thou giv'st thy people tears for bread,  
and tears likewise for drink:  
Their table thus is overspread,  
their cup's filled to the brink.  
verse 6 Thou mak'st us in our neighbour's eyes  
mere subjects of debate:  
With laughter do our enemies  
behold our sad estate.  
verse 7 Turn us again, Lord God of Hosts,  
and cause (as we have craved)  
Thy face to shine on israels coasts,  
and then we shall be saved.  

The second part.  
verse 8 A noble vine of Israel  
thou didst from Egypt bring:  
The heathen folk thou didst expel,  
and plant it there to spring.  
verse 9 Thou mad'st it room for israel's sake,  
by thy almighty hand:  
And caused'st it deep root to take,  
and lo it filled the land.  
verse 10 The hills and mountains all abroad  
were covered with its shade:  
And like the cedar-trees of God,  
her branches were displayed.  
verse 11 Her boughs extending far and wide,  
unto the sea she sent:  
And to Euphrates river side  
her other branches went.  
verse 12 Why hast thou then with great decay  
broke down her hedges so,  
That all that pass along the way  
do pluck her as they go?  
verse 13 And it is wasted by the boar  
that cometh from the wood:  
The wild beasts of the field great store,  
devour it for their food.   

The third part.  
verse 14 Lord God of hosts, we beg of thee,  
return again to thine:  
Look down from heaven, behold and see,  
and visit this thy vine.  
verse 15 The vineyard and the branches young,  
which thy right hand hath set,  
And for thyself hast made so strong,  
do not, O Lord, forget.  
verse 16 It's burnt with fire, it is cut down,  
and in a wasting case,  
At thy rebuke, Lord, at the frown  
of thy displeased face.  
verse 17 Uphold, Lord, with Authority  
the man of thy right hand:  
The son of man made strong by thee,  
and for thy cause to stand.  
verse 18 So will we not go back at all  
from thee, O Lord, most high:  
Then quicken us, and we will call  
on thy name constantly.  
verse 19 Lord God of hosts, our hearts incline,  
and turn us now again:  
And cause thy face on us to shine,  
and safe shall we remain.    

psalm LXXXI.  
London Tune.  
O Sing a-loud with cheerful voice  
to God our strength and stay:  
And make a ve -- ry joy -- full noise  
to Ja -- cobs God this day.  
verse 2 O take a psalm for melody,  
and bring the timbrel hither,  
The pleasant harp and psaltery,  
and join them all together.  
verse 3 Blow up the trumpet this new moon,  
(a duty not the least)  
At times appointed to be done,  
upon our solemn feast.  
verse 4 For this was made a statute law  
for Israel of old:  
And such as God himself did draw,  
for Jacob's sons to hold.  
verse 5 This he ordained in joseph's house,  
passing through Egypt land:  
Where I did hear the barbarous,  
but did not understand.  
verse 6 I eased him of the burden there,  
that on his shoulders lay:  
His hands likewise delivered were  
from making pots of clay.  
verse 7 O Isra'l thou didst call on me  
in thy distressful case:  
I rescued, and I answered thee  
in thunders secret place.  
I proved thee also in the way,  
where thou wouldst needs prove me:  
Even at the streams of Meribah  
I tried and proved thee.  

The second part.  
verse 8 O my dear people, come and hear,  
and I'll declare to thee:  
O israel, if thou wilt give ear,  
and hearken unto me;  
verse 9 There shall be in thee no strange God,  
nor e'er at all shalt thou  
Adore the Gods that are abroad,  
to whom the Gentiles bow.  
verse 10 For I the Lord thy God am he  
who thee from Egypt led:  
Enlarge thy mouth in prayer to me,  
and thou shalt sure be sped.  
verse 11 But though that I did Isra'l choose,  
my own select to be:  
yet israel did my voice refuse,  
and would have none of me.  
verse 12 So then I gave them up unto  
their own hearts wand'ring thought,  
To do as they desired to do,  
as their own counsels taught.  
verse 13 O that my people had complied,  
and hearkened unto me:  
And Isra'l had not walked aside,  
but kept to my decree.  
verse 14 I should have soon subdued their foes,  
and turned my powerful hand  
To the subversion of all those  
that durst against them stand.  
verse 15 The haters of the Lord (be sure)  
had made a low submission:  
But israel's time should still endure,  
and in a blessed condition.  
verse 16 With finest of the wheat should he  
have fed his chosen flock:  
I would have satisfied thee  
with honey from the rock.    

Psalm LXXXII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
IN the assem -- bly of the saints

And sit --- eth in the Judgement seat:  
with Judge -- es of the land.  
How long shall par --- ti --- a ---- li -- ty  
pre -- veil a --- 'mong you then,  
To make you judge un-right-ous-ly,  
and fa--vour wick--ed men?  
verse 3 Defend the poor and fatherless,  
too weak for worldly might:  
Aid such as suffer great distress,  
and see ye do them right.  
verse 4 The weak and poor deliver ye,  
and needy of the land:  
And rid them from the tyranny  
of every wicked hand.  
verse 5 They know not, nor will understand,  
but walk without the light:  
All the foundations of the land  
are out of order quite.  
verse 6 I said indeed that ye were Gods,  
and sons of God most high:  
And that ye had a mighty odds  
by princely Majesty.  
verse 7 But ye as common men shall die,  
and ye shall fall one day,  
As fell those people formerly,  
whom vengeance swept away.  
verse 8 Arise O Lord, thyself advance  
just judgement to pursue:  
The earth is thine inheritance,  
all nations are thy due.   

Psalm LXXXIII.  
St. mary Tune.  
O God no long-er hold thy peace  
but now thy si --- lence break:  
This still tran-qui -- li -- ty sur-cease  
and raise thyself to speak:  
verse 2 For now behold, thine enemies  
do rage tumultuously:  
And those that hate thee do arise,  
and lift their heads on high.  
verse 3 Most crafty counsel they have ta'en  
against us all at once;  
Consulting how to work the bane  
of all thy holy ones.  
verse 4 Come let us cut them off, said they,  
and leave no root behind:  
So that the name of israel may  
no more be had in mind.  
verse 5 For they have all with one consent,  
consulted as one man:  
confederate, and against thee bend  
with all the power they can,  
verse 6 The tents of all the Edomites,  
and many other men's:  
The Ishmaelites and Moabites,  
and all the Hagarens.  
verse 7 Gebal and Ammon do conspire,  
and Amaleck combines  
With the Inhabitants of Tyre,  
and with the Philistines.  
verse 8 Assur is also joined with them,  
and all of them indeed  
Have joined against Jerusalem  
with Lot's incestuous seed.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Do to them, Lord, as in that day,  
when Midians host was struck:  
As to Jabin and Sisera,  
which fell at Kishon brook:  
verse 10 Which miserably perished  
at Endor, where he found  
There carcases all scattered  
as dung upon the ground.  
verse 11 Like Zeeb and Oreb, O compel  
their noble peers to fall:  
As Zeba and Zalmunna fell,  
so let their Princes all.  
verse 12 Those namely that have spoken thus,  
come on, and let us take  
The houses of the Lord to us,  
and them our houses make.  
verse 13 Make them I pray thee, O my God,  
like wheels that still turn round:  
Or like the stubble blown abroad,  
when whirlwinds sweep the ground.  
verse 14 And as the fire consumes a wood  
with fierce and furious flame;  
And mountains where the trees once stood,  
are singed with the same.  
verse 15 So let thy whirlwind furiously  
pursue them, Lord, full fast:  
And let thy tempests terrify,  
and fright them with thy blast.  
verse 16 Cover, O Lord, and fill their face  
with their deserved shame:  
That they may humbly beg thy grace  
and seek thy glorious name.  
verse 17 Yea let them all confounded be,  
and troubled day and night:  
Yea, bring them all to infamy,  
and let them perish quite.  
verse 18 That men may know that thou alone,  
whom we Jehovah call,  
In all the earth the only one,  
art highest over all.    

Psalm LXXXIV.  
Oxford Tune.  
O Lord of hosts how love -- lie fair  
thy sa -- cred ta -- ber-na -- cles are:  
Even where my soul doth long to be!  
Yea and my spi --- rit pines a -- way,  
Within thy courts to come and pray:  
my flesh and heart cry out for thee.  
verse 3 O living God, methinks I miss  
the sparrows and the swallows bliss,  
so happily inhabiting:  
for they may build their nests full throng  
and near thine Altar lay their young,  
O Lord of hosts, my God, my King.  
verse 4 O blessed, are all those that may  
dwell in thy house both night and day  
for they will ever give thee praise.  
verse 5 And blest the man whose strength's in thee,  
who though he cannot present be,  
yet sets his heart on thy sweet ways.  
verse 6 Even theirs that passing Baca's vale,  
dig wells to serve when waters fail,  
or use the pools which rain doth fill.  
verse 7 From strength to strength they travel there,  
until at last they all appear  
before the Lord in Zion hill.  

The second part.  
verse 8 O thou that art the God of War,  
whose all the hosts of creatures are,  
depending on thy sovereignty,  
vouchsafe thou, Lord, my prayer to hear,  
listen and lend a gracious ear,  
O God of Jacob's family.  
verse 9 O God our saviur and our shield,  
that dost to us protection yield,  
behold us with a kind aspect:  
and now be pleased to look upon  
the face of thine anointed one,  
and let thy beams on him reflect.  
verse 10 For in thy courts I count one day  
a thousand others to outweigh:  
nay I had rather keep a door  
within the house of the most high,  
then dwell with all prosperity  
in sinners tents for evermore.  
verse 11 For God's a son and shield divine,  
and doth with grace and glory shine,  
and gives all good things to the just.  
verse 12 Blest is the man, O Lord of hosts,  
that only thine assistance boasts,  
and hath in thee reposed his trust.

LOrd, thou hast dealt most fa-vour-r'bly

verse 2 Thy people's foul iniquities,  
which they have lived in,  
Thou Lord, hast covered from thine eyes,  
and pardoned all their sin.  
verse 3 Thy furious wrath thou didst assuage,  
which did so fiercely burn:  
And from the fury of thy rage  
thou didst in mercy turn,  
verse 4 O God of our salvation,  
turn us likewise to thee:  
And cease thine indignation,  
and no more angry be.  
verse 5 Will't thou be angry still with us,  
and evermore contend?  
Wilt thou draw out thine anger thus,  
until all age's end?  
verse 6 O wilt thou not again revive  
the people of thy choice:  
That being so restored alive  
they may in thee rejoice?  
verse 7 Do thou, O Lord, thy mercy show  
apparent in our sight:  
And on thy Church, do thou bestow  
thy saving health and might.  

The second part.  
verse 8 I'll hear what God the Lord will say,  
for he will speak of peace;  
So that his saints and servants may  
their former follies cease.  
verse 9 Sure his salvation is at hand,  
to those that do him fear;  
That glory may adorn our land,  
and be a dweller there.  
verse 10 Mercy and truth have sweet access  
and both together meet:  
And perfect peace and righteousness  
with mutual kisses greet.  
verse 11 Eternal truth and verity  
out of the earth shall spring:  
Justice looks down from heaven on high,  
an heaven on earth to bring.  
verse 12 Yea and the Lord shall here bestow  
abundant grace and peace:  
And make our land to overflow  
with plentiful increase.  
verse 13 Before his face shall justice go,  
and (where the way was dim)  
Shall now direct our footsteps so,  
that we may follow him.    

Psalm LXXXVI.  
St. mary Tune.  
O Lord, bow down thy gracious ear  
to my com-plaint and cry:  
And now, O Lord, in mer -- cy hear  
for poor and weak am I  
verse 2 Preserve my soul, because I have  
received such grace from thee:  
O thou my God, thy servant save  
that puts his trust in thee.  
verse 3 O be thou merciful to me,  
O Lord I humbly pray:  
Because I call and cry to thee,  
and do it every day.  
verse 4 And fill thy servants soul with joy,  
that now with pain is pined:  
For unto thee, O Lord do I  
lift up my soul and mind.  
verse 5 For thou art very good, O Lord,  
in pardoning very free:  
And art with plent'ous mercy stored  
towards all that call on thee.  
verse 6 Therefore, O Lord, when I do pray,  
regard and give good ear:  
Mark well the words that I do say,  
my supplication hear.  
verse 7 In time when trouble doth me move,  
to thee I do complain:  
Because I know and plainly prove,  
thou answerest me again.  
verse 8 For like to thee, O Lord, is none  
among the powers divine:  
Nor are the works of any one  
to be compared with thine.  

The second part.  
verse 9 All nations made by thy great might,  
and all thy hands did frame,  
Shall come and worship in thy sight,  
and glorify thy name.  
verse 10 For, Lord, thou art a mighty one,  
and thou dost wondrous deeds:  
And thou, O Lord, art God alone,  
from whom such power proceeds.  
verse 11 Teach me the way of truth most right,  
and I'll observe the same:  
And unto thee my heart unite,  
that I may fear thy name.  
verse 12 I will praise thee unfeignedly,  
O Lord, my God that art;  
And I will ever glorify  
thy name with all my heart:  
verse 13 Because thy mercies showed to me  
in greatness do excel:  
My soul by thee hath been set free  
out from the lowest hell.  
verse 14 O God, the proud against me rise,  
and throngs of vi'lent men  
Have sought to make my soul their prize,  
but thee they mind not then.  
verse 15 But, Lord thou art a God most kind,  
suffering no little space:  
Compassions store in thee we find,  
and plenteous truth and grace.  
verse 16 O turn to me, and pity me,  
and let thy servant have  
The strength that is bestowed by thee,  
thy hand-maid's son to save.  
verse 17 And show me some good token now.  
that hateful foes may see  
And be ashamed, because that thou  
dost help and comfort me.    

Psalm LXXXVII.  
Windsor Tune.  
THe groundworks of God's ci ---- ty fair  
are ve --- ry strong -- lie stayed:  
Up -- on the ho --- lie mountain's are  
his firm foun -- da ---- tions laid.  
verse 2 God loves the gates of Zion best,  
his grace doth there abide:  
He loves them more than all the rest  
of Jacob's tents beside.  
verse 3 Most glorious things are said of thee,  
O city of the Lord.  
verse 4 Rahab and Babylon shall be  
thy converts on record.  
All those that know me with desire  
hereof shall hear me tell:  
How Ethiope, Palestine, and Tyre,  
were born in Israel.  
verse 5 And it shall be of Zion said,  
this and that man she bore:  
And the most high will be her aid,  
and strength'n for evermore:  
verse 6 Counting the Gentile with the Jew,  
and booking every heir.  
The singers and Musicians too  
and all my springs are there.   

Psalm LXXXVIII.  
Martyr's Tune.  
LOrd God of my sal-va -- tion dear  
to thee I used to pray:  
And bring my sup -- pli --- ca-tion here  
be -- fore thee night and day.  
verse 2 Now let my prayer have access,  
before thee, O most high:  
Incline thine ear with readiness,  
and hearken to my cry.  
verse 3 For, Lord, my soul is filled with woe,  
such sorrow now I have:  
My very life is brought so low,  
that it doth touch the grave.  
verse 4 And I am counted one of them  
that to the pit descend:  
And to be one among those men,  
whose strength is at an end.  
verse 5 As free among the slain and dead,  
lodged in oblivion's land;  
No more by thee remembered,  
but cut off from thy hand.  
verse 6 Thou layst me in the lowest Pit,  
in darkness and deep caves,  
verse 7 Thy wrath lies hard upon me yet,  
I'm pressed with all thy waves.  
verse 8 My friends thou hast put far from me,  
and made them loathe me sore:  
I am shut up in misery,  
and can come forth no more.  
verse 9 By reason of my misery  
mine eye sheds many a tear:  
Lord I have daily called on thee,  
to thee my hands I rear.  
verse 10 Intendest thou Lord, said I, to show  
thy wonders to the dead?  
Shall dead men rise again, that so  
thy praises may be spread?  
verse 11 Shall we thy lovingkindness, Lord,  
within the grave express?  
Or can destruction best record  
thy truth and faithfulness?  
verse 12 Shall we in darkness understand  
thy wonders manifold:  
And in oblivion's cloudy land  
thy righteousness behold?  
verse 13 But these my prayers and my cries,  
to thee, O Lord, I sent:  
And early ere the morning rise,  
my prayers shall thee prevent.  
verse 14 Why then, Lord, is my soul, I say,  
thus long cast off by thee?  
And wherefore dost thou hide away  
thy gracious face from me?  
verse 15 I am afflicted like to die,  
suffering from youth to age:  
I am distracted whilst that I  
endure such wrath and rage.  
verse 16 The fierceness of thy furious wrath  
is gone quite o'er my head:  
And I do seem as one cut off  
with too much fear and dread.  
verse 17 They came about me every way,  
as waters breaking out:  
And altogether every day  
they compassed me about.  
verse 18 And thou hast separated far,  
from me my friends and lovers:  
And those that mine acquaintance are,  
a cloud of darkness covers.   

Psalm LXXXIX.  
St. mary Tune.  
TH'e -- ter -- nal mercy's of the Lord  
my song shall still ex -- press:  
My mouth shall con-stant-ly re-cord  
his truth and faith --- full -- ness.  
verse 2 For mercy shall be built, said I,  
for ever to endure:  
In heaven itself thy verity,  
shall be established sure.  
verse 3 I made a covenant, saith the Lord,  
with David mine elect:  
And to my servant past my word,  
and swore to this effect:  
verse 4 Thy seed will I establish sure,  
that it can never fall:  
And build thy throne up, to endure  
to generations all.  
verse 5 The heavens shall praise thy wonders, Lord,  
and all thy faithfulness  
Thy Congregations shall record,  
and all thy saints confess.  
verse 6 For who in heaven can any way  
with our Lord God compare?  
Which of the glorious angels may  
so bold comparison dare?  
verse 7 In saints assemblies evermore  
must God have dread and fear:  
With reverence must they all adore,  
that unto him draw near.  
verse 8 Lord God of hosts, what Lord is else  
with such great power crowned?  
Thy faithfulness who parallels,  
in all the circuits round?  
verse 9 The restless raging of the seas  
thou rulest at thy will:  
Their swelling waves thou dost appease,  
and mak'st them calm and still.  
verse 10 Thou brok'st in pieces Egypt's land,  
like one that slaughtered lies:  
Thou hast with thy almighty hand  
dispersed thine enemies.  

The second part.  
verse 11 The heavens and the earth are thine,  
the world so richly stored,  
With all the fullness found therein;  
thou founded'st them, O Lord.  
verse 12 The north and south no being had,  
before thou didst them frame:  
Tabor and Hermon shall be glad,  
rejoicing in thy name.  
verse 13 O God, thou hast a mighty arm  
of sovereign command:  
Strong is thy hand, thy power is firm,  
and high is thy right hand.  
verse 14 Justice and judgement on thy throne  
retain their dwelling-place:  
Mercy and truth conjoined in one,  
shall go before thy face.  
verse 15 Blest is the people that doth know,  
and hear the joyful sound:  
Thy beams shall light them as they go,  
and shine about them round.  
verse 16 They in thy name shall all the day  
rejoice exceedingly:  
And in thy righteousness shall they  
be lifted up on high.  
verse 17 For of their strength thou art the crown,  
and of thy grace thou canst  
And wilt procure (with great renown)  
our horn to be advanced.  
verse 18 For, Lord, thou dost defend us well  
from every hurtful thing:  
The holy one of Israel  
is our almighty king.   

The third part.  
verse 19 In vision to thy saint was said,  
(for then thou mad'st it known)  
Lo, ay my helping hand have laid  
upon a mighty one.  
I have exalted very high  
one that is chosen forth:  
Of all the people generally,  
and one of greatest worth.  
verse 20 My servant David I have found,  
and on his honoured head,  
In token that he should be crowned,  
my sacred oil I shed.  
verse 21 With whom my hand shall go along,  
to establish him full sure:  
My arm shall also make him strong,  
that he may still endure.  
verse 22 The enemy shall not oppress,  
nor make of him a prey:  
Nor shall the son of wickedness  
afflict him any way.  
verse 23 I will beat down and quell his foes,  
and do it in his sight:  
And I will greatly plague all those  
that do him hate and spite.  
verse 24 But lo, my faithfulness and grace  
to him shall be the same:  
His horns shall have the highest place,  
exalted in my name.  
verse 25 And I will make his power to reach  
unto the ocean wide:  
And his right hand of power shall stretch  
unto the river side.  
verse 26 Thou art my father he shall cry,  
thou art my God alone:  
Thou art my rock to which I fly  
for my salvation.  
verse 27 And I will make him my first born,  
by privilege of birth:  
And will exalt his glorious horn  
above all Kings on earth.  
verse 28 My mercy will I make to last,  
preserved for him in store:  
My covenant also shall stand fast  
with him for evermore.  
verse 29 His seed will I perpetuate,  
that it shall last always:  
His Throne shall bear as long a date,  
as heaven's eternal days.   

The fourth part  
verse 30 If David's seed forsake my law,  
and walk not in my way:  
verse 31 If from my precepts they withdraw,  
and from my statutes stray:  
verse 32 They shall be sure that I their God,  
to visit will begin;  
And scourge them with a smarting rod,  
for their offence and sin.  
verse 33 Yet wholly to withdraw my love,  
their sin shall not prevail:  
Nor shall they so much anger move,  
to make my truth to fail.  
verse 34 My covenant I will never break,  
it shall continue still:  
And that which once my lips did speak,  
I'll certainly fulfil.  
verse 35 Once by my holiness I swore,  
that sacred oath and high;  
That having promised before  
to David I'll not lie.  
verse 36 His seed for ever shall endure,  
while time itself shall run:  
His throne shall be established sure  
before me as the sun.  
verse 37 And as the moon within the sky  
for ever standeth fast,  
A faithful witness there on high;  
so shall his kingdom last.   

The fifth part.  
verse 38 But now thou hast cast off O Lord,  
and left me all alone:  
Yea in thy wrath thou hast abhorred  
me thine anointed one.  
verse 39 Thy covenant with thy servant made,  
thou hast again unbound:  
His crown thou hast profaned and laid  
it even with the ground:  
verse 40 Moreover thou hast broken down  
his hedges every one:  
And his strong hold in every town  
thy hand hath overthrown.  
verse 41 All they that pass along the way;  
do spoil him every where;  
He is a mere reproach and prey  
unto his neighbours near.  
verse 42 Thou hast exalted the right hand  
of all his bitter foes,  
And made his hateful enemies stand,  
rejoicing at his woes.  
verse 43 Moreover, Lord, his sword so keen,  
thou now hast blunted quite;  
Nor art thou in the battle seen,  
to make him stand in sight.  
verse 44 His glory thou hast made to cease,  
and cast his throne to ground:  
verse 45 His youthful days thou didst decrease,  
and him with shame confound.  
verse 46 How long, Lord wilt thou hide thy face,  
as never to return?  
Shall thy fierce wrath so long a space,  
like fire consume and burn?  
verse 47 Remember, Lord, how short an hour  
I have for to remain:  
Wherefore hast thou employed thy power,  
to make all men in vain?  
verse 48 What man alive shall not see death,  
but still his life shall save,  
And stop the hand that stops his breath,  
to bring him to the grave?  
verse 49 Lord, where's thy former clemency?  
thy kindness in our youth,  
Which thou hast sworn so solemnly  
to David in thy truth.  
verse 50 Remember Lord, the great disgrace,  
by us thy servants born.  
And how my bosom doth embrace,  
the mighty people's scorn.  
verse 51 Reproaches which thine enemies,  
on me, O Lord, have thrown,  
And do the footsteps scandalise  
of thine anointed on.  
verse 52 But blessed for ever be the Lord,  
and blest be God again;  
And let the Church with one accord  
resound amen, amen.    

Psalm XC.  
Windsor Tune.  
LOrd thou hast been our dwell -- ling-place  
from age to age on earth  
Be -- fore the ve --- ry time and space  
which gave the mount -- tains birth:  
Or ever thou hadst framed or formed  
the earth, or smallest clod,  
Or any part of all the world:  
thou art eternal God.  
verse 3 Thou grindest man through grief and pain  
to very dust and then,  
Thou sayest return to dust again,  
return ye sons of men.  
verse 4 Though life a thousand years do last,  
it seemeth in thy sight  
As yesterday when it is past,  
or as a watch by night.  
verse 5 As with the floods that swiftly pass,  
thou carriest them away;  
Even like a sheep, or like the grass  
which quickly doth decay;  
verse 6 Which in the morning grows upright,  
but fadeth by and by;  
And is cut down ere it be night  
all withered, dead and dry.  
verse 7 For by thine anger Lord our God  
we are consumed and spent;  
And troubled with thy stinging rod  
of wrathful punishment.  
verse 8 Thou settest our iniquities  
plainly before thy face,  
And thy clear countenance descries  
our sins in secret place.  
verse 9 For all our days are passed away,  
thine anger taking hold;  
We spend our years from day to day  
as when a tale is told.  
verse 10 The date of all our days appears  
but threescore years and ten;  
And they that live to fourscore years  
are surely stronger men:  
Yet pain and grief is all the strength  
which then they count upon;  
And also that, cut off at length;  
and we as blasts are gone.  
verse 11 To whom, O God, doth it appear  
what power thine anger hath,  
Even according to thy fear,  
so is thy dreadful wrath.  
verse 12 Lord teach us this religious art  
of numbering out our days;  
That so we may apply our heart  
to sacred wisdom's ways.  
verse 13 Return, O Lord; how long ere thou  
compassion on us take?  
And let it Lord repent thee now,  
for thy dear servant's sake.  
verse 14 O fill us early with thy grace,  
that so we may rejoice;  
And all our lives contin'ed space,  
triumph in heart and voice.  
verse 15 According to the days wherein  
thou plagu'st us, make us glad?  
After the years which we have seen  
so sorrowful and sad.  
verse 16 O let thy blessed work appear  
unto thy servants true,  
And let thy glory shine most clear  
unto their child's view.  
verse 17 Show us the beauty of thy face;  
and what we take in hand,  
Establish, Lord, of thy good grace,  
and make it firm to stand.   

Psalm XC.  
Metre 2. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
LOrd, ev' --- ry age and race has seen,  
Thou hast our help and re -- fuge been▪  
ere that the Mountains had a birth  
or e ---- ver thou hadst formed the earth.  
Thou hadst a being long before,  
and shalt abide when time's no more.  
verse 3 Thy first Decree against man was just  
bidding him Turn again to Dust.  
verse 4 A thousand years, if we could stay  
in life so long, is but a day  
Compared with thee, and in thy sight  
like the short watches of the night.  
verse 5 Death, like an overflowing stream,  
sweeps us away; our life's a dream.  
verse 6 As flowers i'th' morning fresh and fair,  
cut down ere night and withered are.  
verse 7 Thine Anger and our Wickedness,  
verse 8 Makes the short term of Nature less:  
verse 9 And thus our years t' an end are brought,  
as swiftly as a breath or thought.  
verse 10 Our Age to seventy years is set;  
if to another stage we get,  
And unto fourscore years arrive,  
we rather sigh and groan, than live.  

The second part.  
verse 11 Lord, who with due reflection hath  
thought on the terrors of thy wrath?  
Wrath that is equal to our dread,  
and strikes so often sinners dead.  
verse 12 Oh that the sense of our last end,  
th' uncertainties this life attend,  
May more excite our fear of thee,  
and a wise care of piety.  
verse 13 When, Lord shall thy displeasure cease?  
when wilt thou give our troubles ease?  
Now we are humble and repent,  
show pity to us, and relent.  
verse 14 Oh let that Mercy come at last  
we long impatiently to taste:  
verse 15 And in proportion to our tears,  
let gladness crown our future years.  
verse 16 Since Acts of Grace thy Glory are,  
and please thee most; do thou appear  
In these to us and to our Race:  
verse 17 Show us the beauties of thy Face.  
Afford thy Light to guide our way,  
that we may never go astray:  
All our good undertake bless,  
and prosper with desired success.    

Psalm XCI.  
Dublin Tune.  
WHo dwel-leth in the se --- cret place  
of him that is most high,  
In sha' -- dow of th'al-migh-ty's grace  
a --- bides con --- ti --- n'al --- lie?  
verse 2 Thus of the Lord I will report,  
my gracious God is he;  
He is my refuge and my fort,  
in whom my trust shall be.  
verse 3 He surely shall be thy defence,  
both from the fowler's snare,  
And from the noisome pestilence,  
which doth infect the air:  
verse 4 His feathered wings shall cover thee,  
and be thy confidence;  
His truth thy trusty shield shall be,  
and buckler for defence.  
verse 5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid,  
for terrors of the night;  
Nor for the arrow be dismayed,  
that flies in open sight.  
verse 6 Nor shalt thou fear the pestilence,  
that walks in darksome way;  
Nor that destructive violence  
that wastes at height of day.  
verse 7 And at thy side as thou dost stand,  
a thousand dead shall be;  
Ten thousand struck at thy right hand,  
and yet thou shalt be free.  
verse 8 Only shalt thou stand by and see,  
beholding with thine eyes,  
What wicked men's reward shall be,  
for their iniquities.  

The second part.  
verse 9 Because thou mad'st, the Lord most high,  
thy dwelling-place to be;  
The same to whom I always fly,  
to shield and succour me:  
verse 10 There shall no evil thing befall  
to thee in any case;  
Nor shall there any plague at all  
come nigh thy dwelling-place.  
verse 11 For he shall charge his heavenly host  
to bear thee in their arm.  
And watch the way wherein thou goest  
and keep thee safe from harm.  
verse 12 And they must be thy guard and guide,  
O dear beloved one,  
Lest that thy foot should slip aside  
or dash against a stone.  
verse 10 The lion thou shalt tread upon  
the aspe and lion's whelp,  
The dragon thou shalt trample on  
by God's great power and help.  
verse 14 Because he set his love on me,  
therefore saith God will I  
Deliver him and set him free  
from all adversity.  
I'll set him up in high degree,  
because he knew my name:  
verse 15 With prayer he shall call on me  
I answering the same.  
His horn with honour I will raise,  
be with him in temptation,  
verse 16 Suffice him with the length of days,  
and show him my salvation.    

Psalm XCII.  
St. mary Tune.  
TO praise the Lord most thank-ful -- lie  
it is an excellent thing  
And to thy name, O thou most high,  
sweet Psalms of praise to sing.  
verse 2 To show the kindness of the Lord  
before the morning light,  
Thy truth and justice to record  
when it doth draw to night.  
verse 3 Upon an instrument likewise  
whereto ten strings are bound,  
Upon your harps and psalteries  
with sweet and solemn sound;  
verse 4 For thou hast made me to rejoice  
in things achieved by thee,  
And I triumph in heart and voice  
thy handy work to see.  
verse 5 How great, O Lord, who can express  
thy works and thoughts profound,  
Which are a deep so bottomless  
that none can search or sound:  
verse 6 The brutish man discerns no whit  
nor sees thy mighty hand;  
Unconstant fools are far unfit  
this thing to understand.  
verse 7 When wicked men as grass do spring  
and evil doers all  
Appear most fat and flourishing,  
it shows their utter fall.  
Then is their final ruin nigh,  
and even at the door;  
verse 8 But thou, O Lord, thou art most high,  
and that for evermore.  

The second part.  
verse 9 For lo, O Lord, behold and see,  
behold thy foes shall fall,  
The workers of iniquity  
shall be dispersed all,  
verse 10 But like unto an unicorn,  
with high advanced head;  
So shalt thou, Lord, exalt my horn,  
and fresh Oil on me shed.  
verse 11 The harm I wish my wicked foes,  
mine eye shall surely see:  
The same mine ear shall hear of those  
that rise to trouble me.  
verse 12 But like the palm the just shall be,  
so flourish and come on:  
And like unto the cedar tree,  
that grows in Lebanon.  
verse 13 Those that within the house of God  
are planted by his grace,  
In our God's courts shall spread abroad,  
and flourish in that place:  
verse 14 And in their age much fruit shall bring,  
and fat, as e'er was seen;  
And pleasantly both bud and spring,  
with boughs and branches green.  
verse 15 The Lord's uprightness to express,  
who is a rock to me;  
And there is no unright'ousness  
in him, nor none can be.    

Psalm XCIII.  
London Tune.  
THe Lord doth reign with roy --- all -- ty,  
a --- rayed in beau --- ty bright;  
The Lord is clothed with ma -- je -- sty,  
and girds him -- self with might.  
The world is fixed, and still must hold,  
for thou decreed'st the thing.  
verse 2 Thy throne's established of old;  
thou art eternal king.  
verse 3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord,  
the floods (whose tempest raves);  
Have lifted up their voice, and roared.  
verse 4 The floods lift up their waves,  
The Lord on high is mightier far,  
than many water's noise;  
Yea mightier than the waters are,  
when foaming billows rise.  
verse 5 Thy testimonies precious  
are kept on sure record,  
And holiness becomes thy house  
for evermore, O Lord.   

Psalm XCIV.  
Martyr's Tune.  
O Lord to whom it doth be-●●ng  
just ven-geance to re --- p  
O God the pu -- nish --- o of wrong  
do thou thyself does -- play.  
verse 2 Thou judge of all in general,  
thyself no longer hide:  
Arise, dispense a recompense  
to all the sons of pride.  
verse 3 How long, O Lord, how long I say  
shall wicked men oppress!  
How long a time shall such as they  
triumph in wickedness:  
verse 4 How long shall they pronounce and say  
hard things not to be born,  
And all that ply iniquity  
still boast themselves with scorn.  
verse 5 Thy people, Lord, they break and bray;  
thy her'tage they oppress,  
verse 6 Widows and strangers they do slay,  
and kill the fatherless.  
verse 7 And yet dare they presume to say  
the Lord shall never see,  
This Jacob's God whom they applaud  
shall no discerner be.  
verse 8 O understand ye people rude,  
some knowledge now discern,  
Ye fools among the multitude  
at length begin to learn.  
verse 9 Shall he not hear that plants the ear,  
and also shall not he  
That formed the eye so cur'ously  
be able for to see.  
verse 10 He that doth heathen men chastise  
shall not that God correct;  
He that doth teach men to be wise  
is there in him defect.  
verse 11 The lord can tell and knows full well  
what thoughts we entertain  
For he doth scan the thoughts of man,  
and finds them all but vain.  

The second part.  
verse 12 Blest is the man whom thou, O Lord,  
dost fatherly chastise,  
And out of thy most holy word  
dost teach him to be wise,  
verse 13 That thou (most blessed) mayst give him rest  
till stormy times be past,  
And till the ditch be digged in which  
the wicked shall be cast.  
verse 14 For sure the Lord will not reject  
the people whom he takes,  
The heritage to him select  
at no time he forsakes  
verse 15 But sure regress to righteousness  
shall judgement have again,  
And joining then truehearted men  
shall wait upon her train.  
verse 16 Who will rise up in my defence  
against the vile and lewd:  
Who will for me stand up against  
the wicked multitude,  
verse 17 But that the Lord did help afford  
against these wicked men,  
I had almost given up the ghost,  
and dwelled in silence then.  
verse 18 But when I said my foot doth slide,  
I now am like to fall,  
Thy Mercy Lord thou didst provide,  
and stay me therewithal.  
verse 19 But in the crowd and multitude  
of various thoughts which roll  
Within my breast, thy comforts rest  
and do delight my soul.  
verse 20 Lord, shall the throne of wickedness  
have fellowship with thee?  
Which frameth mischief to oppress,  
even by a flat decree?  
verse 21 They gather all against the soul  
of righteous men and good;  
And as for them they dare condemn  
the innocentest blood.  
verse 22 But lo, the Lord that saves all his,  
is my defence on high:  
My God my rock and refuge is;  
and unto him I fly.  
verse 23 He'll recompense their own offence,  
and take them in their sin:  
The Lord, I say, our God shall slay,  
and cut them off therein.    

Psalm XCV.  
Ely Tune.  
COme let us sing with joy -- full noise,  
to our sal -- va -- tion's su --- rest rock  
With Psalms of praise and shouts of joys  
to our God's pre-sence let us flock.  
verse 3 A God of kings of great command,  
A King of Gods indeed he is.  
verse 4 The earth's great deeps are in his hand;  
the strength of hillsare also his.  
verse 5 Dry land and seas, even both of these,  
his holy hands did form and frame.  
verse 6 O come adore with bended knees,  
the Lord our maker's blessed name.  
verse 7 For he's our God, and none but he;  
we are his folk and pasture stock;  
The sheep of his own hand are we,  
he is our shepherd, we his flock.  
verse 8 If ye will hear his voice this day,  
then harden not your stubborn heart,  
As at Massah and Meribah,  
ye proved me in the desert part.  
verse 9 When me your faithless fathers proved,  
and tempting saw my power displayed:  
verse 10 I forty years was grieved and moved  
with this lewd race: and thus I said;  
They err in heart now more and more,  
and have not known my path most blest.  
verse 11 To whom therefore in wrath I swore,  
they should not enter in my rest.   

Psalm XCVI.  
London Tune.  
SIng ye with praise un-to the Lord,  
new songs of joy and mirth;  
Sing to the Lord with one ac-cord▪  
all peo --- ple of the earth.  
verse 2 Yea, sing unto the Lord I say,  
and magnify his name;  
From day to day his health display,  
and gospel-grace proclaim.  
verse 3 Declare his glory, do not spare,  
to let the heathen know,  
How great and rare his wonders are  
among all people, show;  
verse 4 For God a great God doth appear,  
and greatly praised must be;  
And every where be had in fear  
above all Gods must he.  
verse 5 For all the Gods of heathen lands  
dumb idols do appear:  
But God's own hands and quick commands  
made the celestial sphere.  
verse 6 Before him honour stands in sight  
with majesty and grace:  
Adored might and beauty bright  
are in his holy place.  
verse 7 Ye people give unto the Lord,  
let every stock and tribe  
Unto the Lord with joint accord  
glory and strength ascribe,  
verse 8 Give glory to the Lord the king,  
due to his name on high:  
Devoutly bring an offering  
and to his courts draw nigh,  
verse 9 O worship ye the Lord with fear  
in beauties holy place:  
O earth appear from far and near  
before his awful face.  
verse 10 Tell heathen men the Lord doth reign,  
the world confirmed shall be;  
Nor shall again a shake sustain,  
so just a judge is he.  
verse 11 O let the heavens rejoice therefore  
and let the earth be glad,  
The sea shall roar, and all her store  
triumphant joys shall add.  
verse 12 Yea let the field and every thing  
therein lift up their voice,  
The trees shall sing, the woods shall ring  
and mutually rejoice.  
verse 13 Before the Lord, for lo he comes  
the earth to judge and try,  
To us he comes with righteous dooms  
of truth and equity.   

Psalm XCVII.  
St. mary Tune.  
THe Lord doth reign as sov'reign king  
let all the earth re -- joice:  
The mul -- ti -- tude of Isles shall sing  
with glad and plea--sant voice.  
verse 2 Dark pitchy clouds and shady night  
are round about his throne:  
Most perfect judgement, truth and right  
dwell with the holy one.  
verse 3 A dreadful fire before him goes,  
and as it burneth out  
With furious flames consumes his foes  
and enemies round about.  
verse 4 His lightnings did so brightly blaze,  
and to the world appear:  
Whereat the earth did look and gaze,  
amazed with dread and fear.  
verse 5 The hills like wax did melt and thaw  
and could no longer stand:  
When they God's glorious presence saw,  
the Lord of sea and land.  
verse 6 The heavens high declare and show  
his justice all abroad:  
That all the world may see and know  
the glory of our God.  
verse 7 Confusion to all those shall come  
on graven gods that call,  
That boast themselves of Idols dumb:  
ye gods adore him all.  
verse 8 Mount Zion heard with great applause;  
and was affected much;  
And Judah's daughters joyed because  
thy judgements Lord were such.  
verse 9 For thou, O Lord, art set on high  
and Idols undertrod;  
And thou exalted wondrously  
above each other God.  
verse 10 Hate evil ye that love the Lord,  
he saves his Saints dear souls:  
He saves them from this wicked world▪  
and adverse power controls.  
verse 11 And light is sown for righteous men,  
and each shall reap his part;  
And gladness great springs up for them  
that are of upright heart.  
verse 12 Rejoice ye righteous in the Lord,  
much joyfulness express;  
And give him thanks when ye record  
his perfect holiness.   

Psalm XCVIII.  
London Tune.  
SIng to the Lord a new made song,  
for he hath mar -- vels done;  
His ho -- lie hand and arm most strong  
the vi ---- cto --- ry have won.  
verse 2 The Lord almighty hath made known  
his saving health and might;  
His truth he openly hath shown  
in all the heathen's sight.  
verse 3 Towards israel's honoured house hath he  
remembered truth and grace;  
The earth did his salvation see  
declared in every place.  
verse 4 Make joyful noise unto the Lord,  
all dwellers on the earth;  
Make noises loud, his praise record  
with songs of joy and mirth.  
verse 5 O sing unto the Lord, I say,  
and with the harp rejoice;  
With solemn harp his praise display,  
and psalms melodious voice.  
verse 6 With trumpets shrill express your joys,  
with sound of cornet sing;  
And make a very joyful noise  
before the Lord the king,  
verse 7 O let the sea with billows swell,  
and all its fullness roar;  
The world likewise and all that dwell  
upon the spacious shore.  
verse 8 Let floods clap hands with one accord,  
let hills express their mirth,  
And join in joys before the Lord,  
who comes to judge the earth.  
verse 9 With righteousness and judgement then,  
shall he the people try,  
And justly judge a world of men  
with truth and equity.   

Psalm XCIX.  
St. David's Tune.  
THe Lord doth reign as king of kings,  
let all the peo --- i'll quake,  
He sits up -- on the Che --- ru-bims;  
let th' earth be moved and shake.  
verse 2 The Lord that doth in Zion dwell,  
is wondrous high and great:  
The people he doth far excel  
and sits in highest seat.  
verse 3 Let all men praise and magnify  
thy great and dreadful name,  
For it excels in sanctity,  
and most deserveth fame.  
verse 4 The princely power of our king  
loves judgement, truth and right,  
Thou rightly rulest every thing  
in Jacob through thy might.  
verse 5 The Lord our God exalt ye now,  
and worship him alone:  
Before his footstool bend and bow,  
for he's a holy one.  
verse 6 Moses and Aaron with his priests,  
and Samuel on him call:  
Among his Saints these made requests,  
and he did answer all.  
verse 7 He in the cloudy pillar spoke  
and showed to them his will:  
The laws and statutes he did make  
they laboured to fulfil:  
verse 8 O Lord our God thou didst them hear,  
and waste a pardoning God:  
Thy mercy did to them appear  
though thou didst use thy rod.  
verse 9 The Lord our God exalt you still,  
bow down before his throne,  
And worship at his holy hill,  
for he's a holy one.   

Psalm C.  
A Proper Tune.  
ALl peo -- ple that on earth do dwell  
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice  
Him serve with fear his praise forth-tell,  
come ye be -- fore him and rejoice.  
verse 3 The Lord ye know is God indeed,  
without our aid he did us make:  
We are his flock, he doth us feed,  
and for his sheep he doth us take.  
verse 4 O enter then his gates with praise,  
and in his courts do ye proclaim  
Your thankfulness to him always,  
and ever bless his holy name.  
verse 5 Because the Lord our God is good,  
his mercy is for ever sure:  
His truth at all times firmly stood,  
and shall from age to age endure.   

Psalm CI.  
Lowath Tune.  
Mere -- cy and judgement are my song  
which Lord I'll sing to thee;  
And wisely walk in per -- fect way,  
un --- till thou vi --- sit me.  
And I will walk with upright heart,  
within my house, O Lord;  
verse 3 Not any thing will I behold  
that is to be abhorred.  
I hate their work that turn aside,  
to me it shall not cleave  
verse 4 I will not own a wicked man,  
the froward heart I leave;  
verse 5 I'll cut him off that slandereth  
his neighbour secretly:  
I'll not endure the proud in heart,  
nor him that looketh high.  
verse 6 I will look out the faithful men,  
that they may dwell with me:  
And whoso walks in perfect way  
my servant he shall be.  
verse 7 Whoso is bend to use deceit,  
I will abandon quite:  
The liar I will not abide  
to tarry in my sight.  
verse 8 The wicked I will soon destroy,  
and rid the land of them;  
And cut away the wicked ones  
from God's Jerusalem.   

Psalm CII:  
Bristol Tune.  
LOrd hear my prayer and let my cry,  
come spee -- di --- lie to thee,  
In day of my ca -- la -- mi -- ty  
hide not thy face from me.  
Incline thy gracious ear to me  
in this my day of need,  
And when I call and cry to thee  
Lord answer me with speed.  
verse 3 For like as smoke consumes away,  
so do my days expire,  
My bones are burnt and do decay  
like to a hearth with fire.  
verse 4 My heart is smitten like the grass  
quite withered and dead;  
And I, alas! do quite let pass  
to eat my needful bread.  
verse 5 By reason of my doleful groans  
and pain that I am in,  
My grief breaks forth, so that my bones  
do cleave unto my skin.  
verse 6 Lo, I am like a Pelican  
in mournful wilderness.  
And like a hated owl I am  
in deserts comfortless.  
verse 7 I watch and am quite desolate  
and sparrow-like alone,  
Which separated from her meat  
on houses top doth moan.  
verse 8 Mine enemies have all the day  
reproached me with scorn,  
And mad men in their frantic way  
are all against me sworn.  
verse 9 So that I have instead of bread  
the ashes eaten up,  
And with my drink the tears I shed  
are mingled in my cup.  
verse 10 Because of thy severity  
and of thy angry frown;  
For thou hast lifted me on high  
and then hast cast me down.  
verse 11 The days wherein my life doth pass,  
are like a flitting shade;  
And I am like the withering grass,  
which instantly doth fade.  
verse 12 But, thou, O Lord, shalt still endure  
for ever constantly,  
And thy remembrance shall stand sure  
to all posterity.  

The second part.  
verse 13 Thy tender bowels now shall stir,  
to bring poor Zion home;  
For lo, the time to favour her,  
yea the set time is come.  
verse 14 For even in her very stones,  
thy servants take delight;  
The ruins under which she grorns,  
find favour in their sight.  
verse 15 And so the heathen every where,  
shall reverence thy name;  
And all the kings on earth shall fear  
thy glory and thy fame.  
verse 16 When as the Lord builds up again  
fair Sion's broken wall,  
His glory shall appear most plain  
and visible to all.  
verse 17 The prayer of the destitute  
he shall regard and prize,  
Their earnest and their humble suit  
the Lord will not despise.  
verse 18 And this for ages yet to come  
shall rest upon record;  
People created in the womb  
shall one day praise the Lord.  
verse 19 For from his sanctuaries height  
the Lord doth cast his eye;  
From heaven did his perfect sight  
the spacious earth descry.  
verse 20 To hear the prisoners doleful groans  
and lamentable cry;  
And to relieve oppressed ones  
that are condemned to die.  
verse 21 That so the Lord's most holy name  
may be declared to them;  
And they proclaim his praise and fame  
in all Jerusalem.  
verse 22 When as the people far and nigh  
shall all be gathered there,  
And kingdoms most unan'mously  
to serve the Lord in fear.  
verse 23 But while I waited in the way,  
my strength he hath decayed;  
Yea, he hath shortened my day  
then thus to him I said:  
verse 24 O! Take me not away my Lord,  
in midst of all my days:  
Thy years all ages shall record,  
thy time no whit decays.  
verse 25 The earth's foundation thou hast laid  
of old, as now it stands:  
The glorious heavens thou hast made  
the work of thine own hands.  
verse 26 But they shall perish and decay,  
while thou continuest still;  
They shall wax old and wear away,  
even as a garment will.  
As vestures thou shalt change their frame,  
and changed they shall be;  
verse 27 But thou art evermore the same,  
thy years no end shall see.  
verse 28 And Lord thy faithful servants race  
for ever shall endure;  
Their seed likewise before thy face  
shall be established sure.    

Psalm CIII.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
BLess thou the li-ving Lord, my soul  
his glow -- r'ous praise pro-claim  
Let all my in-ward powers extol  
and bless his ho ---- lie name.  
Forget not all his be ---- ne -- fits  
but bless the Lord my soul:  
Who all thy trespasses re -- mits,  
and makes thee sound and whole.  
verse 4 Who did redeem and set thee free  
from death's infernal place:  
With loving kindness crowned thee,  
and with his tender grace.  
verse 5 Who fills and satisfies thy mouth  
with all good things of his,  
And makes thee to renew thy youth,  
just as the Eagles' is.  
verse 6 The Lord doth fully execute  
I justice and righteousness,  
And judgement, for the destitute  
whom wicked men oppress.  
verse 7 To Moses he did first reveal  
the way that they should go;  
And made the sons of Israel  
his mighty acts to know.  
verse 8 The Lord is merciful we know,  
and graciously inclined;  
To anger he is very slow,  
compassionate and kind.  
verse 9 Contin'ally he will not chide,  
nor evermore contend;  
His anger shall not long abide,  
but quickly have an end.  
verse 10 He doth not unto us dispense,  
as our deserts have been:  
Nor giveth us a recompense  
according to our sin.  
verse 11 For as the heaven is far above  
the earth's infer'our frame;  
So is his mercy and his love  
to them that fear his name.  
verse 12 As far as is the sun's uprise  
in distance from his fall,  
So far our foul iniquities  
he sep'rates from us all.  

The second part.  
verse 13 As fathers are compassionate  
unto their children dear,  
So doth the Lord commiserate  
his saints, that do him fear.  
verse 14 For he doth know our brittle frame,  
our mould and fashion just;  
He well remembers whence we came.  
and that we are but dust.  
verse 15 And as for man his days (alas!)  
do soon decline and yield;  
He flourisheth but as the grass,  
or flower of the field.  
verse 16 For it is gone and quickly too,  
when some bleak wind goes o'er;  
And then the place whereon it grew  
shall never know it more.  
verse 17 But unto all eternity  
God's goodness doth endure;  
To ages all successively  
his righteousness stands sure.  
verse 18 To such as keep his covenants,  
and fear his holy name;  
Remembering his commandments  
to execute the same.  
verse 19 The Lord within the heavens high  
hath firmly fixed his throne;  
And over all things generally  
his kingdom rules alone.  
verse 20 All ye his angels bless the Lord,  
ye that in strength excel;  
That do his precepts with regard,  
minding his word so well.  
verse 21 Bless ye the Lord, O! bless him still,  
O all ye hosts of his;  
His Ministers, that do fulfil  
what e'er his pleasure is.  
verse 22 O bless the Lord ye works of his,  
wherewith the world is stored;  
Where ever his dominion is,  
my soul bless thou the Lord.    

Psalm CIII.  
Metre 2. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
BLess thou the Lord my soul his name  
let all the powers within me bless  
O let not his past fa -- vours lie  
for-got -- ten in un-thank -- fullness.  
verse 3 It's he that pardons all thy sins;  
He that in sickness makes thee sound:  
verse 4 It's he redeemed from the grave  
Thy Life, with Love and Mercy crowned.  
verse 5 It's he that fills thy mouth with good,  
and all thy just desires supplies:  
Who like the Eagle, makes thine Age  
To a renewed youth arise.  
verse 6 From his strict Justice, sure relief  
oppressed Innocence will find  
verse 7 Moses and Isr'el knew his ways,  
and kind intentions of his mind.  
verse 8 Abundant Mercies flow from God,  
love is his nature and delight:  
verse 9 Slow is his wrath, and tho' he chides  
intends not to destroy us quite.  
His Anger in its rise and stay,  
from rules of Justice never swerves;  
verse 10 And when he punishes our faults,  
the measure's less than sin deserves,  
verse 11 As Heaven is far above the Earth,  
so his Rewards exceed our Love:  
verse 12 Farther than East is from the West  
his pardon does our sins remove.  

The second part.  
verse 13 A father's pity to his child,  
resembles God's, though shorter far;  
verse 14 For he considers our weak frame,  
that only quickened Dust we are,  
verse 15 Man's days are like the Grass or flower,  
that in the field its beauty shows;  
verse 16 But fades with every blasting wind,  
and then its former place none knows.  
verse 17 But God's eternal truth and love  
is to good men and to their race:  
verse 18 Those that his laws and covenant keep,  
his favour ever will embrace.  
verse 19 Circled with glorious Light, his throne  
the Lord has placed in heaven above;  
Whose mighty power and sovereign rule  
extends o'er all that live and move.  
verse 20 Bless God ye Angels, who in strength,  
and ready services transcend:  
verse 21 Bless him ye Hosts and Ministers,  
who all, to do his will, attend.  
verse 22 All ye his works that subject are  
in every place to his control,  
Bless ye your Maker; and with them  
join in his praises, O my Soul!    

Palm CIV.  
Dublin Tune.  
O Bless the Lord, my soul, and say  
my God thou art full great;  
Bright ho-nour is thy rich are --- ray  
and ma --- je -- sty thy seat.  
verse 2 With light thou cov'rest thee about,  
as with a princely robe;  
And like a curtain stretchest out  
the bright celest'al globe.  
verse 3 With watery seas his roof he ciels,  
and there his rafters binds,  
He makes the clouds his chariot-wheels,  
and walks on winged winds.  
verse 4 He makes his winged messengers  
of pure spiritual frame:  
He makes his glorious ministers  
a burning fiery flame.  
verse 5 He laid the whole foundation  
of all the earth so sure,  
That still it keeps its station,  
and ever shall endure.  
verse 6 Which first was covered with the flood  
as with a garment large,  
The waters o'er the mountains stood,  
until they heard thy charge.  
verse 7 And then at thy rebuke they fled,  
thy thundering voice they feared;  
Hasting away for fear and dread,  
and strait, dry land appeared.  
verse 8 And now dispersed far and wide,  
by hill and dale they go,  
Unto the place thou didst provide,  
to that same place they flow.  
verse 9 Their passage now thou dost restrain,  
and settest them their bound,  
That they may never turn again  
to cover all the ground.  

The second part.  
verse 10 The Lord doth send the fruitful springs  
into the vales below;  
And all along the hills he brings  
their fruitful streams to flow.  
verse 11 And they give drink to every beast,  
which in the field doth lie:  
Wild asses there, among the rest,  
do quench their thirst thereby.  
verse 12 By them the feathered nation  
do comfortably house,  
And have their habitation  
to sing among the boughs.  
verse 13 And from his chambers richly stored  
he wat'reth all the hills.  
The fruit which these thy works afford,  
the earth with plenty fills:  
verse 14 For cattle he makes grass to spring,  
and herbs for man's own use;  
Conven'ent food for every thing,  
he makes the earth produce.  
verse 15 To glad man's heart he makes the soil  
bring forth the grape for wine;  
Hearts strengthening bread and suppling oil,  
to make his face to shine.  
verse 16 The trees of God (though many a one)  
no moisture ever want;  
The Cedars of mount Lebanon,  
which he himself did plant.  
verse 17 Wherein the birds do make their nests,  
the stork too (as for her)  
She hath her house wherein she rests  
upon the stately fir.  
verse 18 For wilder goats the mountains tops  
are made a refuge fit;  
And in the clefts of hollow rocks  
the little coneys sit.  
verse 19 He did appoint the changing moon  
the seasons for to show;  
And when his time is to go down  
the sun doth likewise know.  
verse 20 Thou makest darkness, and behold  
dark night is overspread;  
And then the forest beasts are bold  
to creep forth to be fed.  
verse 21 The lion and the lion's whelp  
come roaring all abroad  
After their prey, and seek their help  
and sustenance from God.  
verse 22 The sun ariseth in the sky,  
they flock together then,  
And lay them down most quietly  
within their secret den.  
verse 23 Then man goes forth with cheerful mind  
his labours to begin,  
And ply's his work of every kind,  
till evening calls him in.   

The third part.  
verse 24 How many are thy works, O Lord,  
in wisdom all composed;  
The earth by thee is richly stored  
with treasures there enclosed:  
verse 25 So is this great and spacious deep  
replenished therewithal,  
Where things innumerable creep,  
and beasts both great and small.  
verse 26 The ships also here make their way,  
Leviathan here keeps,  
Whom thou hast made to sport and play  
within the tumbling deeps.  
verse 27 On thee do all these creatures wait,  
expressing their desires,  
That thou mayst give them needful meat,  
when as the time requires.  
verse 28 That which thou giv'st (as thou seest best)  
they gather for their food;  
Thy liberal hand thou openest,  
and they are filled with good.  
verse 29 Thou hidest thy face, and by and by  
in misery they mourn  
Thou tak'st away their breath, they die  
and to their dust return.  
verse 30 Thy spirits power thou sendest forth,  
they are created then;  
And so the face of all the earth  
thereby renews again.  
verse 31 The glory of the Lord most high  
for evermore shall be;  
And in his works of majesty  
greatly rejoice shall he.  
verse 32 His look can make the earth to quake,  
and if he gently struck  
The mountains, lo, his touch doth make.  
those very mountains smoke.  
verse 33 Unto the Lord will I sing praise,  
while I have life and breath;  
And glorify him all my days.  
and honour him till death.  
verse 34 My thought of him shall be so sweet,  
as nothing else can be,  
And all the streams of joy shall meet  
when, Lord, I think on thee.  
verse 35 Let sinners perish from the earth,  
and lewd men be no more;  
But let my soul God's praise set forth,  
praise ye the Lord therefore.    

Psalm CV.  
St. mary Tune.  
O Ren -- der thanks un -- to the Lord  
and call up --- on his name;  
Among the peo-ple O re-cord  
his deeds de -- serve -- ing fame.  
verse 2 Sing unto him whose power exceeds,  
sing psalms to him with joy:  
To talk of all his wondrous deeds  
your busy tongues employ.  
verse 3 O make your boasts with one accord  
in God's most holy name;  
Let every soul that seeks the Lord,  
be joyful in the same.  
verse 4 Seek ye the Lord, for him inquire,  
his strength and power implore:  
His face and favour O! desire  
and seek it evermore.  
verse 5 What he hath wrought to mind recall  
in each myster'ous deed;  
His wonders and the judgements all,  
which from his mouth proceed.  
verse 6 O ye the seed of Abraham,  
who served with respect;  
Ye children which of Jacob came,  
his chosen and select.  
verse 7 He is indeed the Lord our God,  
his judgements are set forth,  
And manifested all abroad  
throughout the spacious earth.  
verse 8 He calls to mind his covenant,  
whatever he engages;  
The word of his commandment:  
unto a thousand ages.  
verse 9 Which covenant the Lord did make  
to Abraham the first heir;  
The solemn Oath which he did take,  
and unto Isaac swore.  
verse 10 And he confirmed the same as well  
to Jacob for a Law,  
A covenant which from Israel  
he never would withdraw.  
verse 11 Saying, I will my Church advance  
and give into her hand  
The lot of her inheritance  
even Canaan's fertile land.  
verse 12 When they of faithful israels seed  
but few in number were,  
Yea, but a very few indeed,  
and also strangers there.  
verse 13 When shifting habitation  
they went at God's command,  
From nation unto nation,  
flitting from land to land.  
verse 14 He did not suffer any man  
to wrong them where they came,  
But for their sakes he soon began  
the mighty kings to blame.  
verse 15 Saying to those that sat in thrones,  
let no presumptuous arm  
Once touch my dear anointed ones,  
nor do my Prophet's harm.  
verse 16 He called for famine on the land,  
and broke the staff of bread;  
verse 17 But he beforehand sent a man,  
by whom they should be fed.  
Even Joseph for a servant sold,  
subjected to control;  
verse 18 Whose feet the heavy chains did hold,  
the iron pierced his soul.  
verse 19 Until the time and period,  
which Joseph had foretold,  
Tried was he by the word of God,  
as fire doth try the gold.  
verse 20 Then gave the king commandment  
that loosed he should be,  
The ruler of the people sent  
to lose and set him free.  
verse 21 He made him ruler of his house;  
and Lord of Egypt's land;  
And all his substance precious  
committed to his hand.  
verse 22 To bind his disobedient peers,  
his princes to compel,  
And for to teach his Senators  
the way to govern well.  
verse 23 And then did aged Isra'l stir,  
and into Egypt came;  
And Jacob was a sojourner  
within the land of Ham.  
verse 24 And he did greatly multiply  
his people Isra'l there,  
And made them stronger, verily;  
than all their enemies were.  
verse 25 He turned their hearts to be as foes,  
his people they abhorred;  
And craftily they dealt with those,  
the servants of the Lord.  
verse 26 His servant Moses than he sent,  
and Aron whom he chose:  
verse 27 His signs and wonderseminent  
in Egypt they disclose.  
verse 28 Darkness he sent where they did dwell,  
and made it dark indeed;  
His messengers did not rebel  
against his word decreed.  
verse 29 He turned their waters into blood,  
and flew their fish thereby;  
verse 30 The land brought forth a loathsome brood  
of Frogs abundantly.  
verse 31 Kings chambers swarmed with the same,  
than spoke the Lord of hosts,  
And divers sorts of flies there came,  
and lice in all their coasts.  
verse 32 He gave them hail in all the land,  
and flaming fire for rain;  
verse 33 He let no vine nor figtree stand  
unsmitten in the plain.  
verse 34 He broke the trees in all their coasts,  
he spoke, and locusts came,  
And caterpillars, mighty hosts,  
whose number none can name.  
verse 35 And eat up every herb and flower,  
which in the land was found,  
And utterly they did devour  
the fruits of all the ground.  
verse 36 He also smote within one night  
the firstborn in the land,  
The very chief of all their might  
he smote with dreadful hand.  
verse 37 He brought them forth and furnished well  
with silver and with gold,  
Nor did the tribes of Israel  
one feeble person hold.  
verse 38 All Egypt was exceeding glad;  
when they did thus depart,  
So much the fear of israel had  
surprised every heart.  
verse 39 He spread a cloud in open sight  
to be a shady tent:  
And all the night did fire give light  
to Isra'l as they went.  
verse 40 He brought them quails whereon they fed  
for flesh they asked to have,  
And satisfied them with the bread  
which he from Heaven gave.  
verse 41 He opened the rock from whence  
fresh waters gushed apace,  
(As if a river ran from thence)  
in dry and desert place.  
verse 42 For into his remembrance came  
the holy promise made  
Unto his servant Abraham,  
which promise cannot fade.  
verse 43 And then he brought his people forth  
with joy for their release;  
And all his chosen ones with mirth  
and shouts of joyfulness.  
verse 44 And unto them delivered  
the heathen people's lands,  
And they alone inherited  
the labour of their hands.  
verse 45 That they the better might observe  
the statutes of his word,  
And from his precepts might not swerve,  
O! magnify the Lord.   

Psalm CVI  
St. David's Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord to him give thanks,  
for good and kind is he,  
For lo, his mer --- cy doth en-dure:  
to all e --- ter ---- ni --- ty.  
verse 2 His mighty acts who can recite  
according to their worth,  
His praises that are infinite  
who fully can set forth.  
verse 3 Blessed are they that judgement keep,  
and he that doth observe  
The perfect rule of righteousness,  
and doth at no time swerve.  
verse 4 Think on me Lord with favour free,  
such as thy people find;  
With thy salvation visit me,  
and have me in thy mind.  
verse 5 That I may see that nations good,  
whereof thou hast made choice,  
And glory with thy heritage,  
and in their joy rejoice.  
verse 6 But we have sinned grievously,  
the father and the son,  
We all have wrought iniquity,  
and lewdly we have done.  
verse 7 Our fathers, though they saw thy works▪  
yet did not understand  
Thy wonders and thy miracles,  
performed in Egypt land:  
Nor did they keep in memory  
thy great abundant grace:  
But did provoke him at the sea,  
the red sea was the place.  

The second part.  
verse 8 Yet did he save them every one,  
for honour of his name.  
That he might make his power known,  
and spread abroad his fame.  
verse 9 The red sea also dried up  
at his severe command,  
And so he led them through the deep,  
as through the desert land.  
verse 10 He saved them from their haters hand,  
and safely let them go:  
Redeeming them from Egypt land  
and from their cruel foe.  
verse 11 The waters overwhelmed their foes,  
not one escaped away:  
verse 12 Then they believed the word he spoke,  
and sang his praise that day.  
verse 13 But all his works so wonderful  
they hastily forgot;  
And for his counsel and his will  
they duly waited not.  
verse 14 But being in the wilderness,  
they lusted vehemently,  
And in the desert place no less  
they tempted God most high.  
verse 15 He gave them also their request  
at full, without control;  
But wasting leanness therewithal  
he sent into their soul.  
verse 16 They envied Moses in the camp,  
and yet not him alone,  
But Aron too, who had the stamp  
of consecration.  
verse 17 The earth then opened suddenly,  
proud Dathan to devour  
And all Abirams company  
it covered in that hour.  
verse 18 And in their congregation  
a fire was kindled then,  
The very breath and flame whereof  
burnt up those wicked men.  
verse 19 They made a calf their deity,  
when they in Horeb were,  
And worshipped submissively  
the molten image there.  
verse 20 And thus they changed their glorious God,  
into a molten mass,  
Formed in the likeness of an ox  
that feedeth upon grass.  
verse 21 But God that was their Saviour,  
they utterly forgot,  
The works which he in Egypt did,  
they now remembered not.  
verse 22 Most wondrous works he brought to pass  
in Ham's accursed land;  
And dreadful things by the red sea  
performed by powerful hand.  
verse 23 Therefore he threat to ruin them,  
and would have made it good,  
Had not his chosen Moses then  
before his presence stood.  
He stood before him in the breach  
to turn his wrath away;  
Or else he had destroyed them quite,  
and they had fallen that day.  
verse 24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,  
and trusted not his word;  
verse 25 But murmuring in their tents they stand  
not heark'ning to the Lord.  
verse 26 Therefore he lifted up his hand  
against them every one,  
That in the desert wilderness  
they might be overthrown.  
verse 27 To overthrow their seed also  
among the nations rude,  
And scatter them in all the lands  
among the multitude.  
verse 28 For now they joined themselves likewise  
to filthy Baal-peor,  
And eat the dead God's sacrifice,  
such as those Idols were.  
verse 29 Thus they provoked the Lord to wrath,  
with that abhorred sin,  
Of newfound out idolatry,  
and so the plague broke in.  
verse 30 Then stood up zealous phinehas,  
and did those sinners slay;  
By judgement just (for such it was)  
and so the plague did stay.  
verse 31 And it was counted unto him  
a righteous act indeed,  
To all the generations  
of his ensuing seed.  
verse 32 They vexed him also at the lake,  
so called from their strife,  
That Moses suffered for their sake  
the shortening of his life:  
verse 33 Because their provocations  
his patient spirit stirred,  
So that he uttered with his lips  
an unadvised word.  
verse 34 They did not utterly destroy  
the nations of the land  
Concerning whom the Lord most high  
did give a strict command.  
verse 35 But were among the heathen spread,  
whose works they learned there,  
verse 36 And all their idols worshipped,  
which were to them a snare.  
verse 37 Yea, they did slay in sacrifice  
their daughters and their sons:  
Offering to devil-deities  
their harmless little ones.  
verse 38 Their sons and daughter's blood they shed,  
whom they with guilty hand  
To Canaan's idols offered,  
and blood defiled the land.  
verse 39 Thus was it their own works and deeds  
that did defile them so,  
And with their own inventions  
a whoring they did go.  
verse 40 Therefore the anger of the Lord  
against his folk did flame:  
His own inher'tance he abhorred  
by reason of the same.  
verse 41 Into the hands of heathen men  
he gave them for a prey:  
Their hateful foes ruled over them,  
and forced them to obey.  
verse 42 Their enemies with cruelty  
oppressed them in the land;  
And they were humbled shamefully  
under their enemies' hand.  
verse 43 He did release them many times,  
but they provoked him so,  
What with their counsels and their crimes,  
that they were brought full low.  
verse 44 He did regard them ne'ertheless,  
and had a gracious eye  
To their affliction and distress,  
whenas he heard their cry.  
verse 45 His covenant he for them renewed  
repenting in his mind,  
According to the multitude  
of his compassions kind.  
verse 46 He made them to be favoured  
and pitied of all those,  
By whom they were as captives led,  
when they were bitter foes.  
verse 47 Save Lord our God and gather us  
from heathens now a days,  
That we thy holy name may bless,  
and triumph in thy praise.  
verse 48 Bless israel's God, the Lord most high,  
and let all flesh record  
His praises to eternity,  
amen, praise ye the Lord▪    

Psalm CVII.  
Lowath Tune.  
O Tender thanks un -- to the Lord,  
for good and kind is he;  
Be -- cause his mer -- cy doth en-dure  
to all e -- ter ---- ni ---- ty.  
verse 2 Let the redeemed in every land,  
the Lord's redeemed, say so:  
Those whom he rescued from the hand  
of their injur'ous foe.  
verse 3 And gathered them out of the land,  
both from the east and west,  
And from the north and from the south,  
unto a place of rest.  
verse 4 In wilderness they wandered  
in solitary way?  
And found no place inhabited,  
nor town wherein to stay.  
verse 5 Hungry and thirsty all the while,  
not having what to eat;  
So that their very soul began  
to faint for want of meat.  
verse 6 Then did they cry unto the Lord,  
when trouble did oppress;  
Whose favour did relief afford  
to them in their distress.  
verse 7 And led them forth the readiest way,  
that they may go and find  
A city and a dwelling-place,  
according to their mind.  
verse 8 Let them therefore praise God's great name,  
for his great goodness then,  
And for his works of wondrous fame,  
to all the sons of men.  
verse 9 For he doth fully satisfy  
the longing soul with food,  
And filleth every hungry soul  
with blessings that are good.  
verse 10 Even such as sit in shade of death,  
and in dark dungeons lie;  
Whom sharp affliction hampereth,  
and iron bands do tie.  
verse 11 Because they did rebelliously  
transgress against God's word;  
And did contemn that counsellor,  
who is the highest Lord.  
verse 12 Therefore he did their heart bring down,  
with labour and with pain?  
And down they fell and there was none  
to help them up again.  
verse 13 Then did they cry unto the Lord,  
when anguish did oppress,  
And he did save them speedily  
out of their deep distress.  
verse 14 From shade of death and darksome night,  
which they lay groaning under,  
He brought them out to life and light.  
and broke their bands in sunder.  

The second part  
verse 15 O! that all men would praise the Lord  
for his great goodness then,  
And for his works most wonderful  
unto the sons of men.  
verse 16 For he hath broken powerfully  
the brazen doors and gates  
And cut in sunder forceably  
the iron bars and gates.  
verse 17 Fools fall into affliction  
by falling into sin;  
And through their own iniquities  
they are ensnared therein.  
verse 18 Their soul whom sickness visiteth,  
abhors all kind of meat;  
And they draw near the gates of death,  
their sickness is so great.  
verse 19 Then in their trouble they do cry  
unto the Lord for aid,  
Who saveth them from their distress,  
according as they prayed.  
verse 20 He sent his word of power supreme,  
and did them heal and save;  
And graciously delivered them,  
even from the very grave.   

The third part.  
verse 21 And Oh! that men would praise the Lord  
for his great goodness then,  
And for his works most wonderful,  
unto the sons of men.  
verse 22 And let them offer sacrifice  
of praise unto the Lord;  
And with the shouts of joy likewise  
his wondrous works record.  
verse 23 They that descend to sea in ships,  
and follow for their gain  
Their necessary merchandise  
upon the watery main;  
verse 24 These men do God's rare works behold,  
and none so well as these  
Do see his wonders manifold  
within the deepest seas.  
verse 25 For by the word of his command  
he makes fierce winds to rise,  
And lifteth up the rolling waves  
unto the very skies.  
verse 26 They mount to heaven, and then they roll  
down to the deeps below;  
And by and by their very soul  
doth melt because of woe.  
verse 27 They reel and stagger too and fro,  
like drunkards in their fits,  
And like unto distracted men  
are put besides their wits:  
verse 28 Then in their trouble did they cry  
unto the Lord for aid;  
Who did redress their misery,  
according as they prayed.  
verse 39 The storm is changed into a calm  
by his command and will;  
So that the raging waves thereof  
are now exceeding still.  
verse 30 Now winds and waves do rage no more,  
which they are glad to see,  
And so he brings them to the shore  
where they desired to be.  
verse 31 Oh! tender Praises to the Lord  
for his great goodness then,  
And for his works most wonderful,  
unto the sons of men.  
verse 32 And in the congregation great  
let them exalt his name;  
And in the honoured Elder's seat  
advance his praise and fame.   

The fourth part.  
verse 33 The Lord did make it barren soil,  
where floods did once abound,  
And turns the very water-springs  
to dry and thirsty ground.  
verse 34 A fruitful land to barrenness  
he turns because of sin,  
When he rewards the wickedness  
of those that dwell therein.  
verse 35 Again the very wilderness  
to standing pools he brings,  
And turns the dry and desert ground  
to plenteous water-springs.  
verse 36 And there he makes the hungry dwell,  
that so they may provide,  
And get them cities furnished well,  
wherein they may abide.  
verse 37 That they may plant the pleasant vines,  
and sow the fruitful field;  
And may receive the rich increase,  
which every year shall yield.  
verse 38 Such blessings are on thee conferred  
that they are much increased;  
So that of all the numerous herd  
they do not lose a beast.  
verse 39 Yet for their sin they are brought low,  
and minished again;  
Exposed to wicked tyranny,  
affliction, grief, and pain.  
verse 40 He pours on great ones great disgrace,  
and causeth them to stray  
In solitary desert place  
where is no beaten way.  
verse 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high,  
and him from harm doth keep:  
And multiplies his family  
like to a flock of sheep.  
verse 42 This thing the righteous shall descry,  
rejoicing in the same:  
And it shall force iniquity  
to stop her mouth with shame.  
verse 43 Whoso hath wisdom from above  
these matters to record,  
Even they shall understand the love  
and kindness of the Lord.    

Psalm CVIII.  
Windsor Tune.  
O God, my heart is now prepared  
so all --- so is my tongue:  
I will ad-vance my voice, O Lord,  
and praise thee with my song.  
verse 2 Awake my viol and my harp.  
sweet melody to make:  
And in the morning I myself  
right early will awake.  
verse 3 Among the people shall thy praise  
be published by me:  
Among the heathen folk, O Lord,  
will I sing praise to thee.  
verse 4 Because thy mercy, Lord is great  
unto the heavens high:  
Also thy truth extends itself  
unto the clearest sky.  
verse 5 Above the starry firmament,  
extol thyself, O God,  
And, Lord, display upon the earth,  
thy glory all abroad.  
verse 6 And that thy dear beloved ones  
delivered may be:  
Save them, O Lord, by thy right hand,  
and therein answer me.  

The second part.  
verse 7 God in his holiness did speak,  
my joy I cannot hide:  
The vale of Succoth I'll meet out,  
and Sechem I'll divide.  
verse 8 Gilead is mine Manasseh mine,  
and Ephraim's tribe together  
Shall be the chief of all my strength  
and Judah my lawgiver.  
verse 9 My servile wash-pot Moab is,  
on Edom I will tread:  
And in my triumphs with a shout,  
Philistia shall be led.  
verse 10 But who will undertake to be  
my leader and my guide  
To Edom, and the city there  
so strongly fortified?  
verse 11 Lord wilt not thou that didst cast off  
our armies heretofore?  
And with the hosts of Israel  
wilt thou go forth no more?  
verse 12 Lord, give us help from trouble then,  
because no other can:  
And it is very vanity  
to hope for help from man.  
verse 13 We shall do very valiant acts,  
assisted by our God,  
And by his power our enemies  
shall all be undertrod.    

Psalm CIX.  
Bristol Tune.  
O God my praise, hold not thy peace;  
For false and wick---ed tongues  
Against me speak and ne -- ver cease  
their cla -- mours lies and wrongs.  
verse 3 With words of spite and causeless fight,  
they compass me always.  
verse 4 Even for my love my foes they prove,  
but I make haste to pray.  
verse 5 They did reward me ill for good,  
and hate for love they show.  
verse 6 Therefore set thou some tyrant lewd,  
to triumph o'er my foe.  
verse 7 Let Satan stand at his right hand,  
and when his doom comes in,  
Appoint that he condemned be,  
and turn his prayer to sin.  
verse 8 His office let another take,  
cut short his wicked life:  
verse 9 His children wretched orphans make,  
with widowhood vex his wife.  
verse 10 Let all his sons be vagabonds,  
and beg for to be fed:  
In places that are desolate,  
let them seek out their bread.  
verse 11 Let the unjust extortioner  
catch all he hath away:  
And that which he hath laboured for,  
let be the stranger's prey.  
verse 12 Stir up no Friend that may extend  
relief in his distress:  
And let there none have pity on  
his children fatherless.  
verse 13 Cut off his whole posterity,  
before thy wrath assuage:  
Their name extinguish utterly,  
in the ensuing age.  
verse 14 His father's fault let that be brought  
before the Lord for ever:  
His mother's crime by length of time  
let be extinguished never.  
verse 15 Before the Lord continually  
let them be all brought forth:  
That he may cut their memory  
for ever from the earth.  
verse 16 Since he forgot and cared not,  
compassion to impart:  
But sought to break the poor and weak,  
and slay the broken heart.  
verse 17 As he loved cursing and despite,  
let it come to him so:  
As blessings did not him delight,  
so let it from him go.  
verse 18 And as he had arrayed and clad  
himself with curses vile:  
Let it like drink within him sink,  
and soak his bones like oil.  
verse 19 Let it be to him like the coat,  
that never is laid by:  
And like a girdle girt about  
his loins continually.  
verse 20 Let God dispense a recompense,  
mine enemies to control:  
That are incen'st to speak against  
mine inoffensive soul.  

The second part.  
verse 21 O God the Lord do thou for me,  
even for thine own name's sake:  
Because right good thy mercies be,  
my freedom undertake.  
verse 22 For I indeed do stand in need,  
with misery sore distressed:  
My grieved heart with wounds do smart,  
and bleeds within my breast.  
verse 23 I'm gone like sun's declining shade,  
like wandering Locusts tossed:  
verse 24 My knees through fasting weak are made,  
my flesh her fat hath lost.  
verse 25 Yea I became to them a shame,  
on me they gaze and stare:  
verse 26 Their heads they nod, help, Lord my God.  
and me in mercy spare.  
verse 27 That they may know it is thy hand,  
for thou hast done the deed:  
verse 28 And when they curse, do thou command  
a blessiing to succeed.  
Let shame surprise my foes that rise  
my soul for to destroy.  
But yet afford thy servant, Lord,  
abundant cause of joy.  
verse 29 And let mine adversaries all  
be clothed with disgrace:  
Let shame and self confusion fall  
upon mine enemies' face.  
So that their own confusion  
may cover them throughout,  
As if it were a mantle there,  
to compass them about.  
verse 30 And I will greatly praise the Lord,  
with joyful mouth and tongue:  
Yea, and I will his praise record  
amidst the thickest throng.  
verse 31 For he shall stand at our right hand,  
and for our sake control  
The doom of them that would condemn  
the poor man's harmless soul.    

Psalm CX.  
Oxford Tune.  
THe Lord un -- to my Lord thus spoke  
Sat at my right hand till I make  
a ve -- ry footstool of thy foes.  
The Lord shall send from Si -- on's tower  
The sov'reign scep-tre of thy power  
rule thou amidst them that op-pose.  
verse 3 Thy people shall come willingly,  
in day of thine authority,  
Within fair Sion's sacred walls:  
where thy first converts shall abound,  
As thick as due upon the ground,  
which from the womb of morning falls.  
The unrepenting God thus swore,  
thou art a priest for evermore,  
By order of Melchizedek.  
verse 5 And God at thy right hand shall slay  
Proud kings in that his wrathful day:  
verse 6 And all the heathen he shall check.  
With corpses he shall strew the ground,  
and heads of many country's wound,  
Filling the places with the dead.  
verse 7 And he shall make no longer stay,  
But drink the torrent in the way:  
therefore shall he lift up the head.   

Psalm CXI.  
London Tune.  
Ap-plaud the Lord, whom I will praise  
with my whole heart and might:  
Both in the se -- cret of the just,  
and in the church's sight.  
verse 2 Great are the works of our great God,  
and every one no doubt  
Delighting in them from their heart,  
with care do search them out.  
verse 3 His work most honourable is,  
and glorious no less.  
Unto eternity endures  
his truth and righteousness.  
verse 4 Surely he made his wondrous works,  
still to be had in mind:  
Choice favours hath the Lord in store,  
and he is good and kind.  
verse 5 To them that fear his holy name  
he giveth meat good store:  
Jehovah will be mindful of  
his covenant evermore.  
verse 6 Clearly hath he declared to his,  
his works of powerfulness:  
Leaving to them the heritage,  
which heathens did possess.  
verse 7 Most perfect are his handiworks,  
his judgements very pure:  
Not one of his commandments,  
but are exceeding sure.  
verse 8 Established they are for evermore,  
so that they cannot fade:  
And even in truth and righteousness  
each one of them is made.  
verse 9 Plent'ous redemption he hath sent,  
to make his people free.  
So is his covenant evermore  
confirmed by his decree.  
Know ye that holy is his name,  
and to be had in dread.  
verse 10 Religious fear of God likewise,  
is wisdom's wellspring head.  
Sound understanding have they all,  
that carefully endeavour  
To practise his commandments:  
his praise endures for ever.   

Psalm CXII.  
St. mary Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord, for blessed are such  
as fear the Lord a -- right,  
And love his laws ex-ceed-ing much,  
and do them with the -- light.  
verse 2 His seed shall multiply on earth,  
and prosper mightily:  
And God shall pour his blessings forth  
on his posterity.  
verse 3 Of wealth and riches in his house,  
there shall be plenteous store:  
His memorable righteousness  
endures for evermore.  
verse 4 Unto the man immaculate,  
in darkness riseth light:  
Gracious he is, compassionate,  
and every way upright.  
verse 5 A good man shows much kind respect,  
and lends to him that needs:  
And with discretion will direct  
all his affairs and deeds.  
verse 6 Surely he shall not moved be,  
while time to time can add:  
In everlasting memory  
the righteous shall be had.  
verse 7 For any evil tidings told,  
he shall not be afraid:  
His faithful heart which makes him bold,  
on God is firmly stayed.  
verse 8 His heart is so established,  
afraid he shall not be;  
Till his desire accomplished,  
upon his foes he see.  
verse 9 He hath dispensed liberally,  
and given to the poor:  
He shall to perpetuity  
be styled a righteous doer.  
Exalted high his horn shall be,  
with honour thus achieved.  
verse 10 The wicked man this thing shall see,  
and be extremely grieved.  
Yea, he shall gnash his teeth for spite,  
and pining melt away:  
And his desire shall perish quite,  
the wicked man's I say.   

Psalm CXIII.  
A Proper Tune.  
YE children which do serve the Lord  
Praise ye his name with one ac-cord:  
Both now and e --- ver bless his name.  
Even from the ri --- sing of the sun,  
Till it re -- turn where it be-gun,  
ex -- tol and mag -- ni --- fie his fame.  
The Lord all peo -- ple doth sur-mount  
His glit -- t'ring glow -- ry we may count  
a -- 'bove the hea -- vens to ex-tend.  
For who in all the world abroad,  
Is like un -- to the Lord our God,  
whose dwel-ling doth all height transcend?  
verse 6 He doth abase himself we know,  
things to behold both here below,  
And also in the heavens high.  
verse 7 The poor and needy sort he brings  
Even from the dust to sit with kings,  
in thrones of princely majesty.  
verse 8 Among his people thus doth he  
Place them with princes in degree,  
even them that from the dunghill came.  
verse 9 The barren he doth make to bear,  
and with great joy her seed to rear:  
praise ye therefore his holy name.   

Psalm CXIV.  
Oxford Tune.  
WHen Is -- r'el went from E -- gypt land,  
And Ja -- cobs house by powerful hand  
from peo -- ple of a bar-b'roustongue  
Ju-dah was then his ho -- lie place,  
And Is --- ra'l his do-mi -- nion was  
who led them safe -- lie all a -- long.  
verse 3 The sea saw that and fled amain,  
and Jordan wheeled about again,  
And forced back his waves profound.  
verse 4 The rocky mountains skipped like rams.  
The little hills like timorous lambs,  
and could not stand their steadfast ground:  
verse 5 What ailed thee, O thou sea to fly?  
what drove you back so hastily,  
Ye rolling waves of Jordan's flood?  
verse 6 What made you mountains skip like rams?  
and you, O little hills, like lambs,  
To quake and tremble as ye stood?  
verse 7 Tremble, O earth, before the face  
of that great God of Jacob's race,  
Tremble before him awfully,  
verse 8 He turns hard rocks to standing lakes.  
And fountains of hard flint he makes,  
by his great power and majesty.   

Psalm CXV.  
Bristol Tune.  
LOrd, not to us, Lord not to us,  
do thou the glo-ry take:  
Even for thy mer-cy marvellous,  
and for thy truth's dear sake.  
verse 2 Why should the heathen utter this,  
now where's their God, say they?  
verse 3 But our God in the heavens is,  
what he will do he may.  
verse 4 Their idols gold and silver be,  
which men's own hands did make.  
verse 5 Lo, they have eyes, but cannot see,  
and mouths, but never spoke.  
verse 5 Have ears, but do not hear a jot,  
noses, but feel no scent:  
verse 7 Proportioned hands, but handle not,  
and feet; but never went.  
Nor through their throat can give a call,  
verse 8 And like these idols just  
Their makers are, and so are all  
that in them put their trust.  
verse 9 O israel, trust thou in the Lord,  
thy help and shield is he.  
verse 10 O Aaron's house, trust in his word,  
a help and shield to thee.  
verse 11 And ye that fear the Lord each one,  
be careful that ye build  
Your confidence on him alone,  
who is your help and shield.  
verse 12 The Lord hath thought upon us well,  
his people he will bless:  
Even all the house of Israel,  
and Aaron's house no less.  
verse 13 Whoever fear the Lord therefore.  
he'll bless them great and small:  
verse 14 God shall increase you more and more,  
you and your children all.  
verse 15 You are the blessed of the Lord,  
whose quick commandment came,  
And made the heavens at a word,  
and earth's inferior frame.  
verse 16 The heaven, even the heavens high,  
are all of them the Lord's:  
But he to man's posterity  
the spacious earth affords.  
verse 17 The dead indeed praise not the Lord,  
they give him no renown:  
Nor any do his praise record,  
to silence that go down.  
verse 18 But we that are alive therefore,  
will bless the living Lord.  
From this time forth for evermore;  
do ye his praise record.   

Psalm CXVI.  
Lincoln Tune.  
I Love the Lord un-feigu-ed -- lie  
be -- cause he pleased to hear  
My sup -- pli-ca -- tion and my cry,  
with an at --- ten --- tive ear.  
Because he hath inclined the same,  
so graciou -- sly to me:  
Therefore will I call on his name,  
whilst I a --- live shall be.  
verse 3 The pangs of death did wind about,  
and compassed me round:  
The pains of hell had found me out,  
trouble and grief I found.  
verse 4 Then did I call most earnestly  
upon the Lord's great name:  
Release my soul, O Lord, said I,  
I humbly crave the same.  
verse 5 The Lord's a very gracious one,  
and full of righteousness:  
And tenderer compassion  
no bowels can express.  
verse 6 The Lord preserveth carefully  
all those that simple be:  
For I was sunk in misery,  
and he recovered me.  
verse 7 Return, my soul, that art set free,  
return unto thy rest:  
For largely hath the Lord to thee  
his benefits expressed.  
verse 8 Because that thou my soul art freed,  
which else in death had slept:  
Mine eyes from tears delivered,  
my feet from falling kept.  
verse 9 Now will I walk before the Lord,  
as always in his sight:  
Among the living to record  
his praise in land of light.  
verse 10 For I believed help would come,  
therefore I spoke no less:  
Though I was plunged for a time,  
in very deep distress.  

The second part.  
verse 11 At other times in haste I said,  
rush, all men liars be.  
verse 12 O then what shall I give to God,  
for all his gifts to me?  
verse 13 The cup of sweet salvation,  
lo, I will take it up:  
And God's great name I'll call upon,  
with that same blessed cup.  
verse 14 The solemn vows which I did vow  
unto the Lord most high,  
Those will I pay and offer now,  
whilst all his saints stand by.  
verse 15 Of great account undoubtedly,  
and precious in God's eyes  
The death of his dear saints shall be,  
when any of them dies.  
verse 16 Truly I am thy servant, Lord,  
I am thy hand-maid's son,  
Thy servant that obeys thy word,  
whose bonds thou hast undone.  
verse 17 To thee, Lord, will I sacrifice  
the sacrifice of praise:  
To call upon thy name likewise,  
my thankful voice I'll raise.  
verse 18 The vows I say which I did vow,  
unto the Lord most high,  
I will among his people now,  
perform them openly.  
verse 19 In God's own courts I'll offer them;  
there in thy house, O Lord,  
In midst of thee Jerusalem:  
his praise do ye record.    

Psalm CXVII.  
London Tune.  
O Praise and mag -- ni -- fie the Lord,  
ye na --- tions ev' -- ry one:  
And ye, O peo -- ple, all abroad  
his glow -- rious praise make known.  
verse 2 For his compassions plent'ously  
he doth to us afford:  
His truth is to eternity:  
O magnify the Lord.   

Palm CXVIII.  
St. mary Tune.  
GIve thanks to God, for he is good,  
his mer --- eyes still en -- dure:  
Let Is --- ra'l say this ve --- ry day  
his mer -- eyes still are sure.  
verse 3 Let Aaron's house confess this day,  
his mercy still prevails.  
verse 4 Let them that fear the Lord now say,  
his mercy never fails.  
verse 5 I called on God in my distress,  
and largely he replied.  
verse 6 I fear not man do what he can,  
for God is on my side.  
verse 7 Whoer'e they be that succour me,  
the Lord takes part with those:  
And I my full desire shall see  
upon my hateful foes.  
verse 8 It is far better to depend  
upon the Lord alone,  
Then to repose our confidence  
in any mortal one.  
verse 9 Better it is to trust in God,  
and cast on him our care:  
Than to repose our trust in those  
that powerful princes are.  

The second part.  
verse 10 All nations compassed me about,  
but in God's name alone  
I trust that I shall easily  
destroy them every one.  
verse 11 They compassed me about, I say;  
they compassed me about,  
But in the name of God shall I  
destroy and root them out.  
verse 12 They swarmed like bees, but are extinct  
as thorns that fiercely flame:  
For soon I shall destroy them all,  
in God's almighty name.  
verse 13 My foe, thou hast thrust sore at me,  
thinking to make me fall:  
But so the Lord assisted me,  
that I escaped all.  
verse 14 The Lord is all my fortitude,  
he is the song I sing:  
And is become the rock from whom  
my saving health doth spring.  
verse 15 The voice of saving health and joy,  
in just men's dwellings is:  
The Lord's right hand doth valiantly,  
even that right hand of his.  
verse 16 The right hand of the Lord I say,  
it is exalted high:  
The Lord's right hand none can withstand,  
it works so valiantly.  
verse 17 I shall not die, for I shall live,  
and living shall declare  
The works of our almighty Lord,  
how wonderful they are.   

The third part.  
verse 18 The Lord indeed that chast'neth me,  
hath chastened me sore:  
Yet hath not he abandoned me  
to death, when at death's door.  
verse 19 Open to me the sacred court,  
the gates of righteousness:  
And thither I will now resort,  
God's praises to confess.  
verse 20 Set open this most blessed gate  
of God the Lord I say,  
That righteous men may enter in,  
for none have right but they.  
verse 21 Lord, I will praise thy holy name,  
for when to thee I prayed,  
Thou heardst my voice, and art become  
my rock of saving aid.  
verse 22 The stone which by the builders was  
refused with disgrace,  
Is now become the corner stone,  
and set in chiefest place.  
verse 23 This is the work of our great God,  
and wondrous in our eyes.  
verse 24 This is the day the Lord hath made,  
to fill our hearts with joys.  
verse 25 Save now, I do beseech thee, Lord,  
I pray thee earnestly.  
Even now afford thy help, O Lord,  
and send prosperity.  
verse 26 Blessed be he that comes to us  
in God's great name alone:  
And we from Sion's sacred house,  
do bless you every one.  
verse 27 The light we see it is the Lord's,  
who thus the day adorns:  
Come bind the sacrifice with cords  
unto the altar's horns.  
verse 28 Thou art my God whom I'll exalt,  
my God whom I will praise.  
verse 29 Give thanks to God for he is good,  
his mercy lasts always.    

Psalm CXIX.  
The first part to St. mary Tune.  
O Bless -- sed are the in --- no-cent,  
and per --- fect in the way:  
Who from the Lord's commandments  
do ne --- ver go a --- stray.  
verse 2 Blessed are they that care to keep  
his testaments entire:  
And such as for the Lord do seek  
with all their heart's desire.  
verse 3 They practise no iniquity,  
but in God's ways they go:  
verse 4 And we must serve thee uprightly,  
for thou hast charged us so.  
verse 5 O that my ways were made direct,  
and to thy statutes framed:  
verse 6 Which when I generally respect,  
I shall not be ashamed.  
verse 7 With upright heart I'll give thee praise,  
and keep thy laws aright:  
verse 8 When I have learned thy righteous ways,  
O do not leave me quite.  

The second part.  
To St. mary Tune.  
verse 9 What may a young man think to do,  
to cleanse his way, O Lord?  
Surely by taking heed thereto,  
according to thy word.  
verse 10 Lord, I have sought thee from my heart,  
and from my heart I pray,  
That I may not at all depart,  
or wander from thy way.  
verse 11 I hid thy word within my heart  
that I might not transgress.  
verse 12 Teach me thy ways, for Lord thou art,  
renowned with blessedness.  
verse 13 The judgements of thy mouth divine,  
I with my lips have told:  
verse 14 Rejoicing in those ways of thine,  
more than in heaps of gold.  
verse 15 Upon thy precepts I will muse,  
thy ways will I respect:  
verse 16 Thy statutes with delight peruse,  
and not thy word neglect.   

The third part.  
To the Proper Tune.  
DEal boun-t'ously in gifts of grace  
with me thy ser --- vaunt Lord:  
That I may live and run my race,  
and keep thy ho ----- lie word,  
O -- pen O Lord, and clear mine eyes,  
that I may see and know  
The wonder -- full great my-ste-ries  
which from thy sta -- tutes flow.  
verse 19 I do confess myself to be  
a stranger here on earth:  
O do not hide thy laws from me,  
but clearly set them forth.  
verse 20 My soul doth break with fervency,  
and only for this cause,  
Of longing so continually  
after thy sacred laws.  
verse 21 As for the proud presumptuous men,  
which from thy statutes stray,  
Thou hast, O Lord, rebuked them,  
and cursed is their way.  
verse 22 As for reproaches and contempts,  
remove them, Lord, from me:  
For I have kept the testaments  
which I have learned of thee.  
verse 23 And though great princes also sat,  
thy servant to condemn:  
Thy statutes I did contemplate.  
and boldly spoke of them.  
verse 24 Thy testimonies also are  
my very hearts delight:  
Nor need I other counsellors,  
to guide my ways aright.   

The fourth part.  
To St. mary Tune.  
verse 25 My soul doth cleave unto the dust,  
vouchsafe thou, gracious Lord,  
To quicken me as thou art Just,  
and hast engaged thy word.  
verse 26 O Lord, I have acknowledged  
my secret ways to thee,  
And thou thereto hast harkened:  
thy statutes teach to me.  
verse 27 Make me, O Lord, to see and search  
thy precepts perfect way:  
So shall I have thy wondrous works  
to talk of every day.  
verse 28 But now my soul doth melt away  
for heaviness, O Lord:  
Vouchsafe to be my strength and stay,  
according to thy word.  
verse 29 The way of lying vanity  
from me, O Lord, withdraw:  
And grant me very graciously  
the knowledge of thy law.  
verse 30 For I have chose the way most true,  
thy Judgements are my aim:  
verse 31 Thy testaments I stuck unto,  
Lord put me not to shame.  
verse 32 And I will run with full consent,  
the way thou giv'st in charge;  
When with thy sweet encouragement  
thou shalt my heart enlarge.   

The fifth part.  
To the Proper Tune.  
verse 33 Instruct me, Lord, to apprehend  
thy precepts perfect way:  
And I shall keep it to the end,  
even to my dying day.  
verse 34 Make me, O Lord, to understand,  
and I shall keep thy law:  
Yea, to observe thy full command,  
my heart shall not withdraw.  
verse 35 Thy path-ways let me never miss,  
but keep thy laws entire:  
No other pleasure do I wish,  
nor greater thing desire,  
verse 36 Unto thy precepts bend my mind,  
let those alone entice:  
And let me never be inclined  
to wicked avarice.  
verse 37 Avert mine eyes from vanity,  
the lure whereon they gaze:  
And by thy spirit quicken me  
in thy diviner ways.  
verse 38 And as thou hast engaged thy word,  
so ratify the same  
Unto thy faithful servant, Lord,  
who vows to fear thy name.  
verse 39 The carnal fear of obloquy,  
from me, O Lord repel;  
For thou dost judge with equity,  
and therein dost excel.  
verse 40 Behold, Lord, with what eagerness  
thy precepts I pursue:  
Vouchsafe then in thy righteousness,  
to quicken me anew.   

The sixth part.  
To the Proper Tune.  
verse 41 And now let thy campassion  
come unto me, O Lord:  
And show me thy salvation,  
according to thy word.  
verse 42 And so shall I sufficiently  
answer his words unjust:  
whoever he be that taunteth me  
for in thy word I trust.  
verse 43 And let not, Lord, the word of truth,  
nor let thy Judgements just  
Be wholly ta'en out of my mouth,  
for in them do I trust.  
verse 44 And so shall I continually  
thy laws for ever keep,  
verse 45 And walk at large by this discharge,  
for I thy precepts seek.  
verse 46 Thy testaments will I recite:  
to kings, and fear no shame:  
verse 47 And in thy laws will I delight,  
for I have loved the same;  
verse 48 Lifting my hands to thy commands,  
which I have loved so well:  
And for this cause will mind thy laws,  
and of thy statutes tell.   

The seventh part.  
To St. mary Tune.  
verse 49 Remember, Lord, the faithful word  
unto thy servant told:  
And whereupon thou causedst me  
to build my hope so bold.  
verse 50 And only this my comfort is,  
in time of my distress:  
Because thy word shall quicken me  
in all my heaviness.  
verse 51 Lo they deride that swell with pride,  
and scorn me very much:  
Yet have not I declined thy law,  
for fear of any such.  
verse 52 I did record thy judgements, Lord,  
thy judgements wrought of old;  
And meditating thereupon,  
took comfort and grew bold.  
verse 53 Yet horrid crimes like stormy times  
have taken hold on me:  
Because lewd men forsake the law,  
which is ordained by thee.  
verse 54 Yet every where thy statutes were  
my comfortable song,  
In places of my pilgrimage  
where I have passed along.  
verse 55 I did record thy name, O Lord,  
by night and kept thy laws.  
verse 56 And this I had by keeping them,  
and for no other cause.   

The eight part.  
To St. mary Tune.  
verse 57 Thou art my part and portion  
even thou, O Lord, alone.  
I said that I would carefully  
observe thy words each one.  
verse 58 Thy favour free I did entreat  
with my whole heart, O Lord,  
Then grant to me thy mercies free,  
according to thy word.  
verse 59 To thy decrees I turned my feet,  
when pondering my ways,  
verse 60 Haste I have made, and not delayed  
to keep thy holy laws.  
verse 61 And tho' the bands of wicked men,  
have made of me their prey:  
Yet have I not thy laws forgot,  
as careless of thy way.  
verse 62 At midnight I will wake and rise,  
to render thanks to thee:  
Because thy word and judgements, Lord,  
so just and righteous be.  
verse 63 With all that fear thy holy name,  
I am companion still:  
Of such as seek thy laws to keep,  
and precepts to fulfil.  
verse 64 Thy mercies great, O gracious Lord,  
do fill the earth with store:  
Teach me the way how to obey  
thy statutes evermore.   

The ninth part.

verse 65 Thou hast dealt very well with me,  
with me thy servant, Lord,  
And, I have found thy favour free,  
according to thy word.  
verse 66 Teach me good judgement in thy word,  
and knowledge of thy will:  
For thy commandments, O Lord,  
I have believed still.  
verse 67 ere thou didst touch me with thy rod,  
I erred and went astray:  
But now I keep thy word, O God,  
and by it guide my way.  
verse 68 Lord, thou art good, and thou dost good,  
all graces flow from thee;  
Make then thy statutes understood,  
and practised by me.  
verse 69 For though proud persons did invent  
against me many a lie:  
Yet kept I thy commandment  
with heart's sincerity.  
verse 70 Their heart is fattened mightily,  
like lumps of grease congealed,  
But my delight and all my joy,  
is in thy laws revealed.  
verse 71 But I account it good for me  
chastised to have been:  
That I may learn thy laws from thee  
and shun the snares of sin.  
verse 72 The law of thy own mouth I hold  
far better unto me,  
Than many thousand pounds of gold  
and silver heaps can be.   

The tenth part.  
To the Proper Tune.

thy grace on me bestow,  
To know thy precepts what they be,  
and practise what I know.

when me they shall behold:  
Because I have assurance had  
in what thy word foretold.  
verse 75 Yet, Lord, I know and do confess  
how just thy judgements be:  
And that of very faithfulness  
thou hast afflicted me.  
verse 76 I pray thee let thy mercy's kind  
come to thy servant, Lord,  
For comfort to my troubled mind,  
according to thy word.  
verse 77 Thy tender mercy's bowels, Lord,  
O let them come in sight:  
That I may live and keep thy word,  
for therein I delight.  
verse 78 But shame the proud whoever they be,  
for they without a cause  
Have most perversely dealt with me,  
but I will mind thy laws.  
verse 79 And now, O Lord, let every one  
that truly feareth thee,  
And all that have thy statutes known,  
let them turn in to me,  
verse 80 And let my heart unto thy laws  
be so sincerely framed:  
That I may not have any cause  
whereby to be ashamed.   

The eleventh part.  
To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
MY soul for thy sal-va -- tion faints  
but in thy word is all my stay:  
My fail -- ing eves urge sad complaints  
when wilt thou com-fort me? they say.  
verse 83 A wrinkled bottle set in smoke,  
I rightly am compared unto:  
But lo the word which thou hast spoke,  
I have not yet forgot to do.  
verse 84 How many are thy servant's days?  
when wilt thou righteous vengeance take  
On persecutors of my ways,  
and judge them for thy servant's sake?  
verse 85 The proud have digged pits for me,  
with which thy law doth not accord;  
verse 86 For all thy laws are equity:  
they persecute me, help me, Lord.  
verse 87 They had consumed me almost,  
with cruel and injurious hands,  
Here upon earth's malignant coast,  
yet I forsook not thy commands.  
verse 88 O give thy loving kindness vent,  
to quicken up my fainting mind.  
So shall I keep the testament  
which thy most holy mouth hath signed.   

The twelfth part.

is permament and sure:  
And like to heavens constant course  
for ever doth endure.

which never slacks nor slides:  
Like as thou hast established  
the earth, and it abides.  
verse 91 According to thy ordinance  
continuing to this day:  
For all are servants unto thee  
and do thy word obey.  
verse 92 And if in this thy constant work,  
I had not found delight:  
In my extreme affliction, Lord,  
I should have perished quite.  
verse 93 Therefore I never will forget  
thy precepts to express:  
For thou thereby hast quickened me  
in all my heaviness.  
verse 94 Continue then to save me, Lord,  
for I am one of thine:  
And I have fought with diligence,  
thy precepts most divine.  
verse 95 Though wicked men laid wait for me  
to kill and to destroy:  
Yet I consider of thy laws,  
and think of them with joy.

of all perfections here:  
But only thy commandments  
far larger do appear.

far wiser than my foes:  
For that those laws abide with me  
and I abide by those.  
verse 99 With all my teachers I compare,  
excelling them in skill:  
Because thy testimonies are  
my meditation still.  
verse 100 In understanding I outgo  
the ancients (full of days:)  
Because I do not only know,  
but also keep thy ways.  
verse 101 I have refrained my feet, O Lord,  
from every evil way:  
That I may keep thy faithful word,  
and no time go astray.  
verse 102 And from thy sacred judgements, Lord,  
I never did depart:  
For thou hast made thy heavenly word,  
distil into my heart.  
verse 103 And, Lord, in these thy words of truth,  
how sweet a taste I find:  
Sweeter than honey to my mouth,  
thy word is to my mind.

and so much skill impart:  
That all false doctrines I reject,  
and hate them in my heart.

verse 106 And I have sworn most solemnly,  
and will perform it too:  
That I will spare no pains or care,  
thy righteous laws to do.  
verse 107 I am afflicted very much,  
but quicken me, O Lord:  
And let me be revived by thee,  
according to thy word.  
verse 108 The freewill offerings of my mouth,  
I pray thee, Lord, accept:  
And teach me now which way and how  
thy judgements may be kept.  
verse 109 My soul is ever in my hand,  
in danger to be lost:  
Yet have I not thy law forgot,  
what ever it might cost.  
verse 110 And though the wicked secretly,  
their subtle snares did lay,  
Yet am not I seduced thereby,  
to wander from thy way.  
verse 111 Thy statutes are the heritage,  
whereof I have made choice  
To my last day, for those are they  
that make my heart rejoice.  
verse 112 I have inclined my heart to keep  
the laws thou didst decree:  
And will attend them to the end,  
even till I come to thee.   

The fifteenth part.  
To the Proper Tune.  
verse 113 The foolish thoughts of vanity  
I do detest and hate:  
But in thy holy law do I  
delight to meditate.  
verse 114 Thou art, O Lord, my hiding-place,  
and shield of my defence:  
And in the word of thy good grace  
I put my confidence.  
verse 115 Depart from me ye wicked men,  
that other paths have trod:  
And I shall keep with freedom than  
the precepts of my God.

my soul in life uphold:  
And let me never be ashamed  
of this my hope so bold.  
verse 117 Uphold thou me, and then shall I  
be very safely kept:  
And to thy laws continually  
I will have due respect.  
verse 118 And thou hast trodden down all those  
that from thy statutes stray:  
For their deceit will soon disclose  
the falsehood of their way.  
verse 119 And all the wicked of the earth  
as dross thou dost remove:  
The laws therefore which thou setst forth  
I do entirely love.  
verse 120 For I do tremble, Lord, to tell  
what vengeance thou wilt take:  
Thy judgements are so terrible,  
they cause my flesh to quake.   

The sixteenth part.  
To the Proper Tune.

engaged for my good:  
And let proud men's oppressing me  
be by thy power withstood.  
verse 123 But all this while mine eyes do fail,  
thy saving health to see:  
Until thy righteous word prevail,  
to help and succour me.

to me, O Lord, reveal.

and no time to withdraw:  
For wicked men have undertrod,  
and quite made void thy law.  
verse 127 Therefore I love thy statutes more,  
than gold digged from the mine:  
Yea, I prefer them far before,  
the gold that is most fine.  
verse 128 Therefore I judge all thy decrees,  
in all things to be right;  
False doctrines and all heresies  
I hate as opposite.   

The seventeenth part,  
To the Proper Tune.  
verse 129 O Lord how very wonderful  
thy testimonies are:  
And for this cause to keep thy laws,  
my soul doth take great care.  
verse 130 The very entrance of thy words,  
doth give thy servants light:  
And maketh them though simple men,  
to understand aright,  
verse 131 My mouth I opened and did pant,  
with zeal as hot fire:  
Because that these thy just decrees,  
inflamed me with desire.

As usually thou dost apply.

And make me wise in mysteries,  
that truly are divine.

And all because they break thy laws  
without the least remorse.

a righteous God indeed:

which from thy mouth Proceed.  
verse 138 Thy precepts, Lord, which thou dost press,  
and giv'st us charge to do:  
Are perfect rules of righteousness,  
and very faithful too.  
verse 139 My zeal hath quite consumed me,  
it was so very hot:  
Because my wicked enemies  
have all thy words forgot.  
verse 140 Thy word indeed is very pure,  
as silver tried by fire:  
Therefore thy servant will be sure,  
to love it most entire.  
verse 141 And though l am of small account,  
and scorned by carnal minds;  
Yet do not I forget those laws  
to which my duty binds.

And, Lord, thy law can be no no less  
than perfect verity.

I made thy holy word my stay,  
and waited patiently.  
verse 148 The watches of the night so late,  
my wakeful eye prevents:  
That I might sweetly meditate  
on thy commandments.  
verse 149 O let my humble voice be heard,  
in loving kindness free:  
According to thy judgements, Lord,  
vouchsafe to quicken me.  
verse 150 Behold, O Lord, how near they draw,  
that wicked plots pursue:  
But they are far off from thy law,  
in every thing they do.  
verse 151 But thou, O Lord, art near at hand,  
and universally:  
Whatever things thou dost command,  
are perfect verity.

Restore my soul and quicken me,  
according to thy word.  
verse 155 But surely thy salvation, Lord,  
from wicked men withdraws,  
It is too far for them to seek,  
that do not seek thy laws.

which in thy bowels strive:  
According to thy gracious word,  
my drooping soul revive.  
verse 157 Mine enemies are many, Lord,  
my persecutors many:  
Yet have not I swerved from thy word  
for slavish fear of any.

when I with sorrow saw:  
How these perfidious wicked men,  
would not observe thy law.

verse 162 I have rejoiced at thy word,  
as one that finds the richest prize:  
verse 163 And I do love thy way, O Lord,  
but hate and loathe the way of lies.

even for thy righteous judgement's sake:

and no offence they need to take.

before thee be preferred:  
And grant me thy salvation,

When unto me thou hast declared,  
and taught me all thy ways.

Psalm CXX.  
Oxford Tune.  
I cried to God in my di-stress,  
Who did a rea --- dy ear address  
to hear my prayer and send me aid.  
Lord save my soul I thee entreat,  
From lie ---- ing lips and tongue's de-ceit:  
thus fer -- vent -- lie to him I prayed.  
verse 3 But ah! what shall be done to thee,  
Thou tongue as false as false can be?  
what shall be given thee for thy part?  
verse 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty sure,  
With burning coals of Juniper;  
such shalt thou have, such as thou art.  
verse 5 But woe is me that must perforce  
As far as Meshech have recourse,  
to be a tedious sojourner:  
As banished from Israel,  
That I must be constrained to dwell  
within the tents of Kedar here.  
verse 6 My soul hath dwelled this many a day  
With him that hates a peaceful way,  
and is to quietness averse.  
verse 7 I am for peace, I love no jars;  
But when I spoke they were for wars,  
and by dissuasion grew more fierce.   

Psalm CXXI.  
Dublin Tune.  
UP to the hills I lift mine eyes,  
from whence my suc --- cour came.  
My help even from the Lord doth rise  
that heaven and earth did frame.  
verse 3 And not a whit will he permit  
thy foot to slide or fall,  
For surely he that keepeth thee,  
he slumbers not at all.  
verse 4 Lo he that keepeth Israel,  
he slumbers not nor sleeps:  
verse 5 The Lord thy keeper shades thee well,  
at that right hand he keeps.  
verse 6 That neither may the sun by day,  
have any power to smite:  
And hurt thee by his influ'ncy,  
nor yet the moon by night.  
verse 7 The Lord shall save thee from all harm,  
thy soul shall be secure:  
The Lord, I say, with powerful arm,  
shall keep thee safe and sure.  
verse 8 Thy going out is brought about,  
with safety by his power:  
Thy coming in secured by him  
henceforth for evermore.   

Psalm CXXII.  
Oxford Tune.  
I did ex-ceed-ing-ly rejoice,  
To hear the forward people's voice,  
in offering of their own ac --- cord:  
For in this man -- ne'er did they say,  
Come, let us up and take a -- way  
un -- to the tem-ple of the Lord.  
verse 2 Within thy gates, Jerusalem,  
our feet shall come and stand in them,  
to worship and to offer there.  
verse 3 Jerusalem is built so neat,  
Compact together and complete,  
the like there is not any where.  
verse 4 The holy tribes with one accord,  
The tribes, I say, of God the Lord  
to Isra'l's testimony came;  
Thither they went on solemn days,  
To worship and to offer praise  
unto the Lord's most holy name.  
verse 5 For there are stately thrones erect,  
Erected there for this respect,  
for judgement and for equity:  
Which thrones of right do appertain  
To David's house, which there must reign,  
to judge the people right'ously.  
verse 6 O pray therefore and do not cease,  
but pray for our Jerus'lem's peace,  
they that love thee shall prosper well.  
verse 7 Peace be within thy walls, say I,  
I wish as much prosperity  
within thy palaces to dwell.  
verse 8 My brethren and companions dear,  
Make me now say, let peace be here,  
I wish it heartily to thee.  
verse 9 The temple of our God no less  
Makes me to seek thy happiness,  
as much as ever lies in me.   

Psalm CXXIII.  
Bristol Tune.  
TO thee, O Lord to thee alone,  
do I lift up mine eyes:  
O thou the high and lof -- ty one,  
that dwellest a --- 'bove the skies.  
verse 2 Behold as servants look unto  
their Lord and Master's hand;  
And as the eyes of Maidens do  
their mistresses attend:  
So do our eyes attend and wait  
upon the Lord our God,  
Till he do us commiserate,  
that here are undertrod.  
verse 3 Have mercy on us O most high,  
have mercy on our woes:  
For we are filled exceedingly:  
with foul contempt of foes.  
verse 4 Our soul is filled exceeding much  
with scorn and contempt,  
Of those that are at ease, and such  
as are most insolent.   

Psalm CXXIV.  
St. mary Tune.  
HAd not the Lord our Cause espoused  
his Peo --- ple now may say:  
Had not the Lord engaged his power  
to suc --- cour us that Day,  
When wicked Men with cruel wrath  
inflamed, against us rose:  
verse 3 Too feeble all our powers had been  
their Fury to oppose.  
verse 4 To their devouring Jaws, our Life  
had been an easy prey:  
verse 5 Their rage, like an impetuous stream,  
had swept us quite away.  
verse 6 Blest be the Lord, who chose this way  
his Mercy to enhance;  
Then, when our Dangers loudest called,  
to send Deliverance.  
verse 7 We lay like poor entangled Birds,  
caught in the Fowler's net:  
God's power has broke their snares, and we  
at liberty are set.  
verse 8 Since all our help lies in his name,  
that Earth and Heaven made:  
Our future hopes shall all depend  
on his Almighty Aid.   

Psalm CXXIV.  
Metre II. A Proper Tune.  
NOw Is -- ra -- el may say and that truly,  
If that the Lord had not our cause maintained  
If that the Lord had not our right sustained  
When wick-ed men against us fu --- riously  
Made their up-roar, and said we all should die.  
Now long ago they had devoured us all:  
And swallowed quick as we may well suppose,  
Such was the wrath of our enraged foes,  
As in great floods when showers excessive fall,  
Our souls had been overwhelmed and past recall.  
The roaring waters and imperious flood  
Had long ago overwhelmed us in the deep,  
But blessed be God that did us safely keep;  
And gave us not a prey (as case then stood)  
Into their teeth that thirsted after blood.  
Just as a bird deludes the Fowler's game  
And 'scapes away, right so it fares with us;  
The snare is broke, and we are scaped thus,  
Our help is in the Lord our Saviour's Name,  
Whose powerful word did earth & heaven frame.   

Psalm CXXV.  
Lowath Tune.  
ALl they that trust in God shall prove  
as firm as Si --- on hill:

verse 2 As hills surround Jerusalem,  
so God is altogether,  
About his people, guarding them,  
from this time forth for ever,  
verse 3 The rod of sinners shall not rest  
upon the just men's lot:  
Lest righteous men too much oppressed,  
should do they care not what.  
verse 4 Do good to all good men, O Lord,  
to men of upright heart:  
But such as of their own accord  
to crooked ways depart.  
verse 5 With workers of iniquity,  
the Lord shall lead them out:  
But israel shall undoubtedly,  
with peace be hedged about.   

Psalm CXXVI.  
To the 113 Psalm Tune.  
WHen God had our de -- liv'rance wrought  
And Si -- on out of bon -- dage brought  
it seemed to us a ve -- ry dream;  
So much our souls di-stract-ed were  
Between the thoughts of hope and fear,  
to quit a dan -- her so extreme.  
A -- bundant joys fills e --- v'ry breast,  
And is in songs of joy expressed,  
and every tongue most sweetly sings:  
The wondering hea-then oft would say,  
How good, how great a God have they,  
that wrought for them such migh-ty things.  
verse 3 Great things for us the Lord hath wrought  
Above the reach of humane thought:  
which makes our joy so much abound.  
verse 4 And now, Lord, bring the remnant on't.  
Of bondage, as the showers in drought  
or rivers, to a parched ground.  
verse 5 He that goes forth in times of need,  
Sorrowing to spare his precious seed,  
and sows in tears and times of dearth;  
verse 6 When the fat harvest comes about,  
Shall make a glad return, no doubt,  
with laden sheaves, and shouts of mirth.

verse 3 Young children, lo, come from the Lord,  
A fruitful womb is his reward.  
verse 4 No Giant shoots such shafts as those,  
verse 5 Happy is he and free from shame,  
Whose quiver's furnished with the same,  
in court and camp to foil his foes.   

Psalm CXXVIII.  
St mary Tune.  
Blessed are all that fear the Lord  
and walk as God command's:  
For thou shalt eat the plen -- ty stored  
by la -- bours of thy hands.  
All welfare shall to thee betid  
and happy be thy life;  
verse 3 Like th'fruit vine on thy house side,  
lo, such shall be thy wife.  
Thy children round about thy board,  
like plants of olive tree.  
verse 4 Behold the man that fears the Lord,  
thus blessed shall he be.  
verse 5 From Zion God shall prosper thee,  
and bless thee every way:  
And thou Jerus'lem's good shalt see  
unto thy dying day.  
verse 6 Yea with great joy thou shalt behold  
a plentiful increase  
Of child's children (being old)  
and Isra'l's established peace.   

Psalm CXXIX.  
Lincoln Tune.  
MA -- ny a time and oft have they  
di -- strest me from my youth,  
Now Is --- ra -- el may speak and say,  
and speak it of a truth.  
Oft from my ten -- der in ---- fan -- cy  
of -- flict -- ed me have they:  
Yet have they not prevailed thereby  
a -- 'gainst me a ---- ny way.  
verse 3 The plowers on my back did plow,  
and made their furrows long.  
verse 4 The righteous Lord hath cut in two  
the wicked's cords so strong.  
verse 5 All Sion's hateful enemies stop,  
confound and overthrow:  
verse 6 Make them like grass on houses top  
which with'reth ere it grow.  
verse 7 Whereof the mower ne'er receives  
so much as hands can gripe:  
Nor he that bindeth up the sheaves  
a bosomful grown ripe.  
verse 8 Which ne'er invites the passengers,  
at gathering of the same,  
To say thus much, God speed you sirs  
we bless you in his name.   

Psalm CXXX.  
To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
O Out of the deeps I cried to thee,  
Lord hear my voice said I:  
and let thine ears at -- ten -- tive be  
to my re-quest and cry.  
If thou shouldst mark i -- ni --- qui-ties  
then who should stand, O Lord?  
But there's for-give-ness in thine eyes  
that thou mayst be adored  
verse 5 I earnestly expect the Lord,  
my very soul attends,  
In expectation of his word,  
whereon my hope depends,  
verse 6 My soul waits for the Lord, I say,  
more than the watch by night:  
Yea, more than they that wait for day,  
and for the dawning light.  
verse 7 Let Isra'l hope in God alone,  
for with the Lord there is  
Most plentiful redemption,  
and mercy for all his.  
verse 8 And this most gracious Lord shall please  
his israel to redeem  
From all their sins and trespasses,  
how great soe'er they seem.   

Psalm CXXX.  
Metre II. To the 148 Psalm Tune.  
OUt of the depths of woe  
I cried to thee, O Lord,  
Lord bow thine ear so low  
and let my voice be heard.  
O bow thine ear, At -- ten -- tive -- lie,  
un -- to my cry, my prayer to hear.  
If thou severe shouldst be,  
than Lord who should be cleared,  
But mercy is with thee  
that so thou mayst be feared.  
I wait, I tend, upon the Lord,  
and on his word, my hopes depend.  
My soul waits for the Lord,  
more earnestly than those  
That wait with great regard,  
till day the light disclose.  
Yea, more I say, Desires dispatch,  
than they that watch, for break of day▪  
Letoy Isra'l hope in God  
for with the Lord is found  
Mercy to spare the rod,  
redemption to abound.  
By him likewise, All israel is  
redeemed from his, iniquities.   

Psalm CXXXI.  
Martyr's Tune.  
O Lord I have no scorn-ful eye  
no proud or haugh-ty mind▪  
I seek not things that are too high  
but hum -- bly am inclined.  
verse 2 My soul is like an Infant weaned  
even from his mother's breast.  
verse 3 And Israel to be sustained,  
on God should always rest.   

Psalm CXXXII.  
Lincoln Tune.  
KIng Da -- vid, Lord, remember now,  
and all his cares re -- cord;  
How he did swear to God, and vow  
to Ja -- cobs might --- ty Lord.  
Surely, said he, I will not come,  
nor e --- ver put my head  
In -- to my house and lodg-ing-room,  
to go up to my bed▪  
verse 4 I will not give one wink of sleep  
unto my weary eyes:  
Nor suffer slumber once to creep  
mine eyelids to surprise;  
verse 5 Until I do find out a place,  
a place wherein may dwell  
The mighty God of Jacob's race,  
the Lord of Israel.  
verse 6 The first news of his blessed abode,  
lo, Ephratah did yield:  
After, we found the ark of God  
placed in the wood-land field.  
verse 7 Now therefore will we all go in,  
into his dwelling-place:  
And humbly we will worship him  
at footstool of his grace.  
verse 8 Arise, O Lord, and come at length  
into thy place of rest,  
Thou and the ark of thy great strength  
thy temple to invest.  
verse 9 O let thy priests be all arrayed  
with righteousness throughout:  
And let thy gracious saints be made  
for very joy to shout.  
verse 10 For David's sake thy servant known,  
O do not turn away  
The face of thine anointed one,  
that unto thee doth pray.  

The second part.  
verse 11 The Lord in truth to David swore,  
and will not turn from it:  
Out of thy loins shall come thine heir,  
upon thy throne to sit.  
verse 12 If thy seed keep my covenant,  
and laws that I make known:  
Thy children then shall never want  
heirs to enjoy the throne.  
verse 13 For God hath chosen Zion hill,  
desiring there to dwell.  
verse 14 This is my rest and dwelling still,  
for I have kept it well.  
verse 15 Her meat I'll bless abundantly,  
wherewith she shall be fed:  
And I will also satisfy  
her poor with store of bread.  
verse 16 And I will also cloth her priests  
with saving health and grace:  
And with the voice of joyfulness  
her saints shall shout apace.  
verse 17 There will I make his horn to bud,  
even David's horn to spring:  
I have ordained a lamp so good,  
for my anointed king.  
verse 18 His adversaries all of them  
then will I cloth with shame:  
But on himself his diadem  
shall flourish with great fame.    

Psalm CXXXIII.  
To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
Behold how good and full of bliss,  
and what a pleasant thing it is,  
When brothers do most lov -- ingly  
to -- ge -- ther dwell in a --- mi -- ty.  
verse 2 It's like the precious ointment shed  
upon the top of Aaron's head:  
Which drenched his beard, and from his crown  
even to his garments skirts ran down.  
verse 3 Like pearly dew of Hermon hills,  
or which on Zion mount distils:  
Where God pours down his blessings store,  
blessings of life for evermore.   

Psalm CXXXIV.  
Southwel Tune.  
BE -- hold ye here at hand,  
ye servant's of the Lord,  
Which in his house by night do stand  
praise him with one ac ---- cord.  
verse 2 Lift up your hands on high  
within his holy place:  
And kneeling in humility,  
bow down before his face,  
verse 3 The Lord (shall they say still)  
that made both heaven and earth,  
Bless israel out of Zion hill  
with favours thence poured forth.   

Psalm CXXXV.  
London Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord, praise ye the name  
of God with one ac ---- cord:  
O praise him, and extol his fame,  
ye ser -- vaunts of the Lord.  
verse 2 O ye that are admitted thus  
within his house to stand,  
And in the courts of our God's house  
are placed, by his command.  
verse 3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,  
sing praises to his name:  
For it is sweet to be employed  
his praises to proclaim.  
verse 4 For God hath chosen to himself  
Jacob, of his own pleasure:  
And hath elected Israel  
for his peculiar treasure.  
verse 5 For well I know the Lord is great,  
and that this Lord of ours  
Transcends all Gods, and hath his seat  
above all sovereign powers.  
verse 6 Whatever thing the Lord did please,  
he did effect and do,  
In heaven, in earth, and in the seas  
and all deep places too.  
verse 7 He causeth vapours to arise  
from earth's remotest ends:  
Lightnings, and rain, and winds likewise  
he from his treasury sends.  
verse 8 Who smote the very first increased,  
throughout all Egypt land:  
All the first born of man and beast,  
with his revenging hand.  
verse 9 Who sent his signs and wonders great  
into the midst of thee,  
O Egypt, upon Pharo's seat,  
and all his family.  
verse 10 Who did the mighty nations smite  
and potent kings he slew:  
verse 11 As Sihon that strong Amorite,  
whom there he overthrew.  
And next unto the Amorites,  
was Og of Bashan king  
And all the realms of the Canaanites  
he did to ruin bring.  
verse 12 And the inher'tance of their land,  
he gave it full and free  
Into his people Isra'l's hand,  
their heritage to be.  
verse 13 Thy name for ever doth endure,  
and thy memorial, Lord,  
All generations shall be sure  
to keep on firm record.  
verse 14 For lo, the Lord is fully bend,  
his people's judge to be:  
And of his servant's punishment  
repent himself will he.  

The second part.  
verse 15 The idols of the heathen lands,  
are silver and of gold:  
They are the work of workman's hands  
and such as men did mould.  
verse 16 They have a mouth, yet spoke they not.  
and eyes but want their sight.  
verse 17 Have ears but never hear a jot,  
their mouths are breathless quite.  
verse 18 Such senseless stocks their makers are,  
that did these idols frame:  
And such is each idolater,  
that trusteth in the same.  
verse 19 But bless the Lord with one accord,  
O house of Israel:  
And all the praises of the Lord,  
let Aaron's house forth tell.  
verse 20 O bless the Lord his praise confess,  
O ye of Levi's tribe:  
And ye that fear the Lord no less,  
due praise to him ascribe.  
verse 21 From out of Zion hill let them  
for ever bless the Lord,  
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem:  
his praise do ye record.    

Psalm CXXXVI.  
To the 148 Psalm Tune.  
GIve laud un ---- to the Lord

The God of gods re ---- cord  
and praise that Name of his  
for cer -- tain-ly, His mer -- eyes shall,  
en-dure to all, E -- ter -- ni -- ty.  
Give thanks, O every one  
unto the King of Kings,  
For he and he alone  
hath wrought such wondrous things: for etc.  
To him whose skill profound  
did make the heavens clear:  
And set the seas their bound,  
and made dry land appear, for etc.  
To him that did display  
those great and glorious lights:  
The sun to rule by day,  
the moon and stars by nights, for etc.  

The Second part.  
Give thanks to God most high  
who smote with powerful hand,  
In Egypt generally  
the firstborn of the land: for etc.  
And from them in that land  
brought Isra'l clearly out,  
With stretcht-out arm and hand  
that brought the work about: for etc.  
To him that did divide  
the red sea into parts:  
And there did Isra'l guide  
to pass with joyful hearts: for etc.  
Amidst it they did go,  
but Pharaoh and his host  
The Lord did overthrow  
upon the red-sea coast: for etc.   

The Third part.  
Give God his praises due,  
and thankful thoughts express,  
Who led his people through  
the howling wilderness: for etc.  
Great kings the Lord did smite,  
and famous kings he slew,  
King Sihon th' Amorite,  
and Og of Bashan too. for etc.  
And gave (in open view)  
the land where they did dwell  
An heritage unto  
his people Israel: for etc.  
Who did remember us  
when our estate was low  
And hath redeemed us  
from the oppressing foe; for etc.  
To him give praises due,  
who gives all flesh their food,  
O give ye thanks unto  
the God of heaven so good:  
for certainly, his mercies shall,  
endure to all, Eternity.    

Psalm CXXXVII.  
St. mary Tune.  
Heard by the brooks of Basilius -- by-lon,  
we sat down weep -- ing there:  
when Si --- on hill we thought up -- on,  
each thought in -- forced a tear.  
verse 2 Amidst it there green willows were,  
whereon our harps we hung:  
For they that led us captives there,  
required of us a song.  
verse 3 And they that wasted us that day,  
did ask and urge us thus,  
Sing one of Sion's songs, said they,  
and make some mirth for us.  
verse 4 How shall we ever tune our tongue  
to sing at your command;  
The Lord Jehovah's sacred song  
here in a foreign land?  
verse 5 If I forget thee in my heart,  
O Salem's sacred hill,  
Let my right hand forget her art,  
and forfeit all her skill.  
verse 6 Yea let my tongue cleave to my jaws,  
if thou shalt be forgot:  
Yea and above my chiefest joys  
if I prefer thee not.  
verse 7 Lord, think on Edom's sons we pray,  
whom we so spiteful found:  
That said in sad Jerus'lem's day,  
race raze it to the ground.  
verse 8 Daughter of Babel thou must be  
destroyed and ruined thus:  
Happy is he that doth to thee  
as thou hast done to us.  
verse 9 He shall be blessed for his pains,  
that takes thy little ones,  
And dasheth out their Infant's brains  
against the pavement stones.   

Psalm CXXXVIII.  
To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
WIth my whole heart I praise thee now  
before the Gods thy praise I sing  
To-wards thy ho --- lie house I bow  
to praise thy name; O heavenly king.  
Even for thy loving kindness, Lord,  
and for thy truth so often tried  
For thou hast magnified thy word.  
yea, more than all thy name beside.  
verse 3 Thou answerest me that very day  
wherein I did so call and cry:  
Thou strengthened'st me and waste my stay,  
my soul thou strengthened'st inwardly.  
verse 4 All kings on earth shall give thee praise,  
when from thy mouth they hear thy words  
verse 5 Yea singing walk along thy ways:  
such fame such great fame is our Lords.  
verse 6 Though God be high above all things,  
the lowly he regardeth much  
But on the proud contempt he brings,  
and afar off he knoweth such.  
verse 7 Although I walk in danger's path,  
thou shalt revive me and extend  
Thy hand against my enemies' wrath,  
and thy right hand shall me defend.  
verse 8 The Lord will perfect my affairs,  
so firm and sure thy mercy stands;  
Neglect not thou thy wont cares,  
to keep the works of thine own hands.   

Psalm CXXXIX.  
Dublin Tune.  
O Lord, thou hast me searched & known  
My sit --- ting down thou knowst,  
My ri -- sing up; my thoughts each one  
thou seest when di ---- stant most.  
verse 3 Thou compassest my path, my bed,  
and all my ways dost note.  
verse 4 There's not a word my tongue hath said,  
but thou dost fully know't.  
verse 5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,  
and on me laid thy hand.  
verse 6 Such knowledge is too great to get  
too high to understand.  
verse 7 Whither, O whither shall I go,  
and from thy spirit fly?  
Where shall I hide me high or low,  
from thy allseeing eye?  
verse 8 If I should climb to heaven on high,  
or make my bed in hell?  
Thou art in heaven assuredly,  
thou art beneath as well.  
verse 9 If on the morning wings I fled,  
the utmost seas beyond:  
verse 10 There by thy hand I should be led,  
and held by thy right hand.  
verse 11 And if I say the darkness sure  
shall hide me from thy sight;  
The darkness which is most obscure,  
about me shall be light.  
verse 12 Yea, darkness hides not from thy sight  
but night as day shines clear:  
To thee the darkness and the light  
do both alike appear.  
verse 13 For, Lord, my reins most secret room  
possessed is by thee;  
And in my mother's narrow womb  
Lord, thou hast covered me.  
verse 14 I'll praise thee that hast made me thus.  
of rare and fearful frame:  
Thy handiworks are marvellous,  
my soul well knows the same.  
verse 15 My substance was not hid from thee,  
when secretly composed:  
And curiously thou formedst me,  
in earth's dark caves enclosed.  
verse 16 Thine eye did see my substance rude,  
thy book named every limb.  
Which by degrees were fashioned,  
when yet was none of them.  
verse 17 How precious also unto me  
are thy sweet thoughts become  
O God how very great they be,  
in gross and total sum!  
verse 18 If I should count them they are more,  
in number than the sand:  
And I when I awake therefore,  
am still at thy right hand  
verse 19 Surely thou wilt the wicked slay,  
O God spare none of them,  
Therefore from me depart, I say,  
O all ye bloody men.  
verse 20 For lo, they utter all their spite,  
O Lord in thy disdain:  
Thine adversaries set thee light,  
and take thy name in vain.  
verse 21 Do not I hate thine enemies;  
and that for hating thee?  
And those that do against thee rise,  
am not I grieved to see?  
verse 22 Yea, Lord, I hate them perfectly,  
I count them my own foes.  
verse 23 Search me, O God, my conscience try,  
my heart and reins disclose.  
verse 24 And see if I do go astray  
in any course of sin:  
Show me the everlasting way,  
and lead me Lord therein.   

Psalm CXXXIX  
Metre II. To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
LOrd when I have to do with thee  
in vain I seek to be concealed.  
Thou knowst me per -- fect -- lie, to thee  
My ve -- ry thoughts are all revealed.  
verse 3 B when I sit and when I rise,  
my walking and my lying down;  
verse 4 To thee my works and all my words  
better than to myself are known.  
verse 5 On every side within the reach  
of thine encircling Arm I lie:  
verse 6 Whose force I neither can resist,  
nor scape the notice of thine Eye.  
verse 7 Whither can I retire and find  
a place where God does never come?  
verse 8 His glories I should meet in heaven;  
his power, had I in Hell a Room.  
verse 9 Could I remove to th' utmost Sea,  
winged with the swiftest morning ray  
verse 10 Thy hand, that thither must support  
my flight, would my abode betray.  
verse 11 If o'er my sins I think to draw,  
the blackest curtains of the night:  
verse 12 All will be clear to thee; for what  
we darkness call, to thee is light.  
verse 13 My inmost Reins by thee possessed,  
with all th' affections seated there?  
To thee that mad'st those hidden Springs  
within the womb, must needs appear.  
verse 14 In all thy works, O Lord, I see  
the footsteps of thy wondrous skill;  
And to excite my praise I find  
within myself more wonders still.  

The Second part.  
verse 15 Unseen by all, when formed within.  
the dark Recesses of the womb;  
Before the fine Embroidery  
of parts was to perfection come:  
verse 16 In that rude Mass, thou didst discern  
the daily growth of every part;  
And what th' eternal mind had framed;  
was copied out with curious Art.  
verse 17 Lord, I admire the various thoughts,  
and the wise counsels of thy mind;  
Their Sum is infinite; yet all  
are dear to me, because they're kind.  
verse 18 Their number's greater than the Sand;  
which whilst my busy thoughts run over,  
I sleep: and find when I awake,  
I'm only where I was before.  
verse 19 I'm sure that their destruction's near,  
who wickedly against me combine;  
Hence then, ye bloody-minded men,  
nor your own ruin seek in mine.  
verse 20 Thy Foes they are, who use thy name  
intended mischiefs to disguise;  
And boldly call God in to vouch  
for all their calumnies and lies.  
verse 21 Do not I, Lord, detest and hate  
Such as oppose thy Laws and thee?  
verse 22 I loathe them perfectly and count  
myself their utter Enemy.  
verse 23 Lord, since my thoughts accuse me not  
of living in a false disguise;  
I'm less afraid to undergo  
the trial of thy piercing eyes.  
verse 24 Search me, and where thou seest that I,  
unwillingly have done amiss,  
Correct my errors, and reduce  
my wander to the way of bliss.    

Psalm CXL.  
Martyr's Tune.  
FRom workers of in --- i -- quity,  
O Lord be my de -- fence:  
Pre-serve thou me, and set me free  
from men of vi --- o -- lence.  
verse 2 Whose hearts imagine villainy,  
and gathered they are,  
And do comply continually  
in purposes of War.  
verse 3 They whet their tongues as darts of death,  
like to the serpent fly:  
The poisonous breath of adders deaf  
under their lips doth lie.  
verse 4 Keep me, O Lord, from wicked hands,  
and from my furious foe:  
Those firebrands whose purpose stands  
my steps to overthrow.  
verse 5 A snare for me the proud did hide  
and they have spread a net:  
And cords they tied by th' highway side,  
and 'gins for me they set.  
verse 6 Therefore unto the Lord, said I,  
thou art my God alone.  
O Lord, most high attend my cry  
and supplication.  
verse 7 O God the Lord, thou dost bestead  
my soul with saving might:  
And thou my head hast covered  
in day of bloody fight.  
verse 8 Grant not, O Lord, grant not a jot  
the wicked man's desire:  
O further not his wicked plot,  
lest that should lift them higher.  
verse 9 As for their head of all the throng,  
that compass me about,  
Let mischief sprung from their own tongue  
quite cover them throughout.  
verse 10 Let burning coals upon them fall,  
and cast them in the fire:  
And let them all in deep pits fall,  
whence they may not retire.  
verse 11 Let there be no establishment  
for lewd tongues here below,  
Evil shall hunt the violent  
unto his overthrow.  
verse 12 I know God will maintain by might  
the cause of the distressed:  
And will not slight the poor man's eight,  
but help him, when oppressed:  
verse 13 Surely the righteous every where  
thanks to thy name shall give:  
And all that bear a mind sincere,  
shall in thy presence live.   

Psalm CXLI.  
Dublin Tune.  
TO thee, O Lord, I call and cry,  
make haste and come to me:  
And bow thine ear at -- ten -- tive-ly,  
now when I cry to thee.  
verse 2 O let my prayer be now set out  
as incense in thine eyes:  
And lifting up of hands devout,  
as evening sacrifice.  
verse 3 And set a careful watch before  
my hafty mouth, O Lord:  
And of my lips keep thou the door,  
against each evil word.  
verse 4 Incline my heart to no misdeed,  
with them that wicked are:  
Nor let me ever dare to feed  
of their delicious fare.  
verse 5 But let the righteous smite me, Lord,  
for that is good for me:  
And his reproof and sharpest word,  
a sovereign balm shall be.  
Such smiting shall not break my head,  
for yet my prayers likewise  
Shall willingly be offered  
in their calamities.  
verse 6 Their judges being overthrown,  
as on the stony street;  
Then shall they hear my words each one,  
for they are very sweet,  
verse 7 But now about the graves they leave  
our bones, all scattered round;  
As wood which one doth cut and cleave,  
lies scattered on the ground.  
verse 8 But, Lord, mine eyes are unto thee,  
my trust is in thy grace:  
O God the Lord, then leave not me  
in so forlorn a case.  
verse 9 O keep me safely from the snare,  
they laid to take me in:  
And from the 'gins of those that are  
such practisers of sin.  
verse 10 And in their own devised net,  
Lord let the wicked fall:  
Even in the net which they did set,  
whilst I escape withal.   

Psalm CXLII.  
Martyr's Tune.  
I Cried un -- to the ho -- lie one,

I made my sup --- pli -- ca-tion known

verse 2 I poured out my complaint and cry  
before his gracious face:  
I showed before him readily  
my deep distressful case.  
verse 3 When, Lord, my spirit sunk in woe,  
my path was known to thee:  
And in the way where I did go,  
they laid close snares for me.  
verse 4 I looked on my right hand and saw,  
but none would know me there:  
Refuge did fail and quite withdraw,  
none for my soul did care.  
verse 5 I cried to thee, O Lord, and said,  
thou art my refuge then:  
Thou art my portion and my aid,  
i'th'land of living men.  
verse 6 Attend my cry for I am low:  
and, Lord, deliver me  
From them that persecute me so,  
and are too strong for me.  
verse 7 My soul from prison, Lord, set free,  
thy name to glorify:  
The righteous then shall stock to me,  
when I thy bounty try.   

Psalm CXLIII.  
Windsor Tune.  
LOrd hear my prayer and hum-ble suit,  
thy will --- lings ear ad --- dress:  
And an -- swear me in e --- qui -- ty,  
in truth and faith ---- full --- ness.  
verse 2 And into judgement or dispute;  
thy servant do not call,  
For with thee can no mortal man  
be justified at all.  
verse 3 My foes my soul do persecute,  
my life to ground is trod:  
My dwelling made in darksome shade,  
as men long dead, O God.  
verse 4 Therefore my burdened spirits shrink,  
my heart is desolate;  
verse 5 And wisely weighs the ancient days:  
thy works I meditate.  
verse 6 On all thy handy works I think,  
to thee I stretch my hands:  
My soul in me thirsts after thee,  
as do the thirsty lands.  
verse 7 Lord, hear me soon my spirits sink,  
and now left I should be  
Like them that go to th' pit below,  
hide not thy face from me.  
verse 8 Cause me to hear of thy kind love  
before the break of day:  
Cause me to know what way to go,  
for thou art all my stay:  
verse 9 I lift my soul to thee above,  
Lord, save me from my toe:  
I fly to thee to shelter me,  
no other God I know.  
verse 10 Thy spirit is good let that sweet dove  
thy servant's soul instruct  
In thy command, and to the Land  
of uprightness conduct.  
verse 11 Lord for thy name's sake quicken me,  
and that this very thing  
May well express thy righteousness,  
my soul from trouble bring.  
verse 12 And of thine own benignity;  
and for thy goodness sake,  
Cut off all those that are my foes,  
and vengeance on them take.  
Destroyed and ruined let them be  
that do my soul oppress;  
For I serve thee religiously,  
with all submissiveness.   

Psalm CXLIV.  
St. David's Tune.  
Blessed for e --- ver be the Lord  
who is my strength and might  
Who taught my hands to use the sword  
my fin -- gers for to fight.  
verse 2 My goodness and my fort likewise,  
my shield of saving power,  
My Saviour from mine enemies,  
and my exalted tower.  
In whom I put my confidence,  
for it is only he,  
That bringeth to obedience,  
the people under me.  
verse 3 Lord, what is man that thou shouldst take  
such knowledge of him here:  
The son of man that thou shouldst make  
account of him so dear.  
verse 4 Sure man is like to vanity,  
his days decline and fade:  
And pass away most hastily,  
like to a flitting shade,  
verse 5 Lord, bow the heavens and come down,  
and do but gently struck  
The mountains, with an angry frown,  
and they shall quickly smoak.  
verse 6 Cast forth thy lightning from the skies,  
and all thy foes disperse:  
And to destroy thine enemies,  
shoot forth thy lightnings fierce.  
verse 7 Send from above thy hand that saves,  
And rid me as I stand:  
And snatch me from the mighty waves,  
and from strange child's hand.  
verse 8 Whose mouth doth utter words devised,  
and fraught with falsehood great:  
And their right hand is exercised  
in cunning and deceit.  
verse 9 New songs to thee will I present,  
my psalt'ry shall agree:  
And on a ten-stringed instrument,  
will I sing praise to thee.  
verse 10 'Tis he that unto kings extends,  
salvation's welcome pledge;  
His servant David he defends,  
from sword's offensive edge.  
verse 11 Release and rid me speedily,  
from hands of sinners vile:  
Whose subtle mouths speak vanity  
their right hands full of guile.  
verse 12 That so our sons may thrive apace  
as plants in youth do grow:  
Like polished stones of some fair place  
so may our daughter's show.  
verse 13 Our garners full as they can hold  
with every kind of thing:  
And in our streets the flock and fold,  
may many thousands bring.  
verse 14 Let not our labouring oxen faint,  
nor enemy invade:  
No leading captive, no complaint  
within our streets be made.  
verse 15 O blessed people would we say,  
with such like blessings stored:  
Yea, rather blessed people they,  
whose God is God the Lord.   

Psalm CXLV.  
London Tune.  
THee will I praise my God, and King  
and e ---- ver bless thy name:  
And all my days I'll give thee praise,  
and still ex --- toll thy fame.  
verse 3 Great is the Lord in every thing:  
and greatly must we praise  
That name of his, whose greatness is  
unsearchable always.  
verse 4 One age shall still be publishing  
to that which next succeeds  
Thy worthy praise in all thy ways,  
thy mighty works and deeds.  
verse 5 And I, Lord, will discourse and treat,  
what glory thou hast won:  
The fame of the great majesty,  
that hast such wonders done.  
verse 6 Thy might likewise shall men repeat,  
and deeds of dreadful fame:  
Nor will I spare for declare  
the greatness of thy name.  
verse 7 The memory of thy goodness great,  
they largely shall express:  
And shall in songs, with joyful tongues  
declare thy righteousness.  
verse 8 The Lord is good to all indeed,  
his tender love and grace,  
verse 9 His creatures all in general  
do taste in every place.  
verse 10 Lord, all thy works thy praise shall spread,  
and thee thy saints shall bless.  
verse 11 They shall proclaim thy kingdom's fame,  
and thy great power express.  
verse 12 To publish all his mighty deeds,  
and make mankind to know  
How gloriously in majesty  
his kingdom shines below.  

The second part.  
verse 13 A kingdom of eternity,  
thy kingdom is, O Lord,  
And thy alone dominion,  
all ages shall record.  
verse 14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall,  
and makes the crooked strait,  
verse 15 And Lord, on thee continually  
the eyes of all things wait.  
verse 16 In seasons due thou feedest them all,  
thy opened hand doth bring:  
To satiate the appetite,  
of every living thing.  
verse 17 Righteous is God in all his ways,  
holy in all he doth:  
verse 18 And nigh to all that on him call  
in uprightness and truth.  
verse 19 He will fulfil the heart's desire  
of them that do him fear:  
He will likewise attend their cries,  
and save them every where.  
verse 20 And all that love him, doth the Lord  
preserve in every place:  
But will destroy even utterly  
all the ungodly race·  
verse 20 My mouth shall speak the Lord's due praise,  
and let all flesh endeavour  
Thus to proclaim his holy name  
from age to age for ever.    

Psalm CXLVI.  
St. David's Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord, my soul give praise  
un ---- to our heaven -- lie king  
While life and breath pro-long my days,  
his prais --- es will I sing,  
verse 3 Trust not in men magnificent,  
nor in man's mortal seed,  
Whose power is not sufficient  
to help you in your need.  
verse 4 Because his breath doth soon depart,  
then turns he to his clay:  
And all the counsels of his heart  
do perish in that day.  
verse 5 Blessed and happy is the man  
whom Jacob's God doth aid:  
And on the Lord his God alone,  
his faith is firmly stayed,  
verse 6 In him that made both earth and sky,  
and all in sea, or shore:  
And keeps his promise faithfully,  
and will do evermore.  
verse 7 With justice always he proceeds,  
for such as suffer wrong:  
The poor and hungry soul he feeds,  
and breaks the fetters strong.  
verse 8 The Lord doth give the blind their sight,  
the lame to limbs restore:  
The Lord doth in his saints delight,  
and loves them evermore,  
verse 9 He helps the widows in distress,  
and strangers sad in heart:  
He doth defend the fatherless,  
and ill men's ways subvert.  
verse 10 The Lord shall reign eternally,  
thy God, O Zion hill  
Shall reign to all posterity,  
O praise him, praise him still.   

Psalm CXLVII.  
To the 100 Psalm Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord, for it is meet  
the prais -- es of our God to sing:  
For the employment is most sweet,  
and praise a ve --- ry come -- lie thing.  
verse 2 The Lord doth build Jerusalem,  
gathers th'out casts of Isra'l's bounds  
verse 3 He healeth brokenhearted men,  
and bindeth up their bleeding wounds.  
verse 4 The number of the stars he tells,  
and all their names he doth recite.  
verse 5 Great is the Lord his power excels,  
his wisdom is most infinite.  
verse 6 Poor humble souls the Lord doth raise,  
but treads the wicked to the ground:  
verse 7 Sing to the Lord our God, sing praise,  
praise him with harps harmonious sound.  
verse 8 Who with thick clouds o'er spreads the sky,  
prepared rain on earth distils,  
And makes the earth to fructify  
with store of grass on highest hills.  
verse 9 He giveth to the beast his food,  
and feeds the raven's brood that begs,  
verse 10 The strength of horse doth him no good▪  
nor takes he pleasure in man's legs.  
verse 11 The Lord doth take delight in them  
that in his faithful fear abide:  
And taketh pleasure in those men  
that in his mercy do confide.  

The second part.  
verse 12 O praise the Lord Jerusalem,  
praise thou thy God, O Zion hill,  
verse 13 Who makes thy bars and strengtheneth them  
to keep thy gates in safety still.  
Thy children in thee he hath blest,  
verse 14 He maketh in thy borders peace,  
He fills thee also with the best  
and finest of the fields increase.  
verse 15 He sends out his command on earth,  
his word doth very swiftly post;  
verse 16 The snow like wool he giveth forth,  
he spreads like ashes hoary frost.  
verse 17 He casteth out his ice like crust,  
his pinching cold who can sustain?  
verse 18 He sends his word and melt they must,  
and into water turn again:  
His power doth cause the wind to blow,  
whereby the ragged water flows:  
verse 19 His word to Jacob he doth show,  
his laws and judgement israel knows.  
verse 20 He dealt not so with other lands,  
as for the judgements of the Lord,  
No heathen people understands,  
do ye therefore his praise record.    

Psalm CXLVIII.  
London Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord praise ye the lord,  
even from the hea -- vens high:  
Even from the heights his praise re -- cord,  
a ---- 'bove the star --- ry sky.  
verse 2 His angels all, his praise begin,  
and all his hosts of might:  
verse 3 Praise him both sun and moon, praise him  
O all ye stars of light.  
verse 4 Ye heaven of heaven's lofty sphere,  
him praise and magnify:  
Ye waters also that be there  
above the heavens high.  
verse 5 O let them praise the mighty name  
of our almighty Lord:  
For he commanded, and they came,  
created at his word.  
verse 6 He hath established them to be,  
and that for evermore:  
He hath ordained a decree,  
which they shall not pass o'er.  
verse 7 Praise God from th'earth all in your kind,  
ye dragons and all deeps:  
verse 8 Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind,  
his word that fully keeps.  
verse 9 All hills and mountains, fruitful springs,  
all trees and cedars high:  
verse 10 All beasts and cattle creeping things,  
and all the fowl that fly.  
verse 11 Kings of the earth and people there,  
princes and judges all;  
verse 12 Young men and maidens every where,  
old men, and children small.  
verse 13 O let them praise the Lord's great name,  
for that excels alone:  
His glory is above the frame  
of earth and heavens high throne.  
verse 14 And he exalts his people's horn,  
his people he doth raise:  
His dearest saints from israel born,  
O give the Lord his praise.   

Psalm CXLVIII.  
Metre II. A Proper Tune.  
YE bound-less Realms of Joy  
Ex -- alt your Ma--ker's Fame;  
His praise your song 'em -- ploy  
A-bove the star -- ry Frame:  
Your voices raise, ye I --- ru-bim  
And Se -- ra-phim, To sing his praise  
verse 3 Thou Moon, that rul'st the Night,  
And Sun that guid'st the Day,  
Ye glittering stars of Light,  
To him your homage pay:  
His praise declare, ye heavens above,  
And Clouds that move, in liquid air.  
verse 5 Let them adore the Lord,  
And praise his holy Name,  
By whose almighty word  
They all from nothing came,  
And all shall last, from Changes free  
His firm Decree, stands ever fast.  
verse 7 Let Earth her Tribute pay;  
Praise him ye dreadful Whales,  
And Fish that through the Sea  
Glide swift with glittering Scales.  
Fire, Hail, and snow, and misty Air,  
And Winds that, where, he bids them, blow.  
verse 9 By hills and Mountains (all.  
In grateful Consort joined)  
By Cedars stately tall,  
And Trees for Fruit designed:  
By every Beast, and creeping thing,  
And Fowl of Wing, his Name be blest.  
verse 11,12 Let all of Royal Birth,  
With those of humbler frame;  
And Judges of the Earth,  
His matchless Praise proclaim.  
In this Design, let Youths with Maids,  
And hoary heads, with children join.  
verse 13 United zeal be shown,  
His wondrous Fame to raise,  
whose glorious Name alone  
Deserves our endless praise.  
Earth's utmost ends, his power obey:  
His glorious sway, the sky transcends.  
verse 14 His chosen Saints to grace  
He sets them up on high,  
And favours Isra'l's Race  
Who still to him are nigh.  
O therefore raise, your grateful voice,  
And still rejoice, the Lord to praise.

To the 119 Psalm Tune.  
PRaise ye the Lord and sing new songs

O praise him in the thickest throngs  
where saints as -- sem --- bled are.  
Let Is --- ra'l joy and triumph still,  
and of their ma -- ker sing:  
And let the sons of Si --- on hill  
be joy -- full in their king.  
verse 3 Let them extol his praise and fame  
in dances, when they meet,  
Let them sing praises to his name  
with harp and timbrel sweet.  
verse 4 For lo, the Lord his dear delight  
doth in his people place:  
And he will make the meek shine bright  
with saving health and grace.  
verse 5 O let the gracious saints rejoice,  
whom glory doth invest:  
Let them sing praise with loudest voice,  
as on their beds they rest.  
verse 6 Let the high praises of the Lord,  
be in their mouth contained:  
And let a double edged sword  
be put into their hand.  
verse 7 To execute great plagues and pains  
upon the heathen lands:  
verse 9 To bind their stately kings with chains,  
their Lords with iron bands.  
verse 9 To execute on them the doom  
found written in his word:  
This honour to all saints doth come,  
praise ye, praise ye the Lord.

Praise him upon the silver one,  
that soundeth loud and high.

Amen, praise ye the Lord.

Your wondering thoughts to hea -- ven raise  
where he his Glow --- ry shows.  
verse 2 Let all his mighty acts of power  
your inward passions move;  
That your acknowledgements may suit  
the Greatness of his Love.
