 IN METRE. 
 
 PSALM 1. 
 
 1 THAT man hatli perfect blessedness, 
 
 wlio walketh not astray 
 In counsel of ungodljmen, 
 
 nor stands in sinners' way, 
 Nor sitteth in iJie scomer's chair : 
 
 2 But placetli his delight 
 Upon Gai's law, and meditates 
 
 on his law day and night. 
 
 3 He shall be like a tree that grows 
 
 near planted by a river, 
 Which in his season yields his fruit 
 *" and his leaf fadeth never : 
 
 And all he doth shall prosper well. 
 /[ The wicked are not so ; 
 
 But like they are unto the chaff, 
 "VMiich wind diives to and fro. 
 
 5 In judgment tlierefore shall not stand 
 
 such as ungotUy are ; 
 Nc.r in til' assembly of the just 
 shall wicked men appear. 
 
 6 For wiiy ? the way of godly men 
 
 unto the Lord is known : 
 Whereas the way of wicked me« 
 shall quite be overtbiown. 
 
( 4 ) 
 
 PSALM 2. 
 -A HY rec^e the Heatlien ? and v;iiii t'liugs 
 ■vvhy do the people mind ? 
 
 2 Kings of the tartli do sefc tliemselves, 
 
 and urincisare coinbiTi'd, 
 To plot as;;iinst the I>ord, and his 
 anointtd, snying thi:s, 
 
 3 Let us a^nder brtak their hands, 
 
 and cast their cords from iis. 
 
 4 He tiiat in Heaven sits, shall langh : 
 
 tile Lord shall scorn them ail: 
 
 5 Tlien sliail lie speak to them in wrath, 
 
 in raqe he vex them shall. 
 
 6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have hira 
 
 to be my king appoitittd ; 
 And .)*er Sion. my holy hill, • 
 
 I !iavehim Iving anointed. 
 
 7 The sure decree 1 will declare ; 
 
 The Loi-d huth said to me, 
 Tl'.on art mine only Son ; tliis day 
 
 I have I)tgotten thee. 
 X Ask of me, and for heritage 
 
 the Heathen I'll make thine ; 
 Ar.d for |wssession I to thee 
 
 will give earth's ntinust line. 
 9 Thou shall, as with a weighty rod 
 
 of iron, break them all ; 
 And as a potter's shei-d, thou sbalt 
 
 them dash in pieces small. 
 N'ow, therefore, kings. l)t- wise • be taught 
 
 ye judges of the e.'^.rth ; 
 S -r» e' God in fear, and see that ye 
 
 i.).ntrei.d)!ing with yourniirtli. 
 *.'iss \e the Son, lest in his ire 
 
 ye Verish from the way.

 If once his wrath besjiii to hum, 
 BltssM all that on hini stay. 
 
 PSALM 3. 
 
 1 O LORD, how are my foes incicasM ? 
 
 against nie many rise. 
 
 2 JIany say of my soul, for him 
 
 In God no succour lii.-s. 
 
 3 Yet thdu my shield and y;lory art, 
 ♦ th' UiJlitu-r of mine head. 
 
 4 I cry'd, and, from his holy hill

 5 I laid mc down and slept^ I wak'd ; 
 
 for God snstaiutil mo.

 7 Arise, O Lord ; sa^•e me, my God ; 
 for thou iny fo( s liast stroke 
 All on the cheek-bone, and tlie teolh 
 of wicked men hast broke.

 PSALM 4. 
 1 GIVE ear v.nto me when I ca]f, 
 God ofnij rij^hteousmss : 
 Plave mercy, hear my pray'r ; thou, bast 
 .enlavg'd me in distress. 
 3 O ^e ti" «»!:s of nn n ! how long 
 
( 6 ) 
 
 3 But know, that for himself the Loi-i 
 
 tlie godiv man doth choose : 
 The Lord "when I on him do call, 
 to hear will not refuse. 
 
 4 Fear, and sin not ; talk with your heart 
 
 on bed, and silent be. 
 
 5 OfTrings present o ; righteousness, 
 
 and in tlie Lord U'ust ye. 
 « O who will shew us any gootl ? 
 is that which many say : 
 But of thy countenance the light, 
 Lord, lift on us ahvay. 
 
 7 Upon my heart bestow'd by thee 
 
 more gladness I have found 
 Than they, ev'n then when corn and wine 
 did most with them abound. 
 
 8 I will both lay me down in peace, 
 
 and quiet sleejj will take; 
 Because thou only me to dwell 
 in safety, Loi-d, dost make. 
 
 PSALIM 5. 
 
 1 GIVE ear unto my words, O Lord, 
 
 my meditation weigh. ilf^ 
 
 2 Hear my loud cry, my King, my God, 
 
 for I to thee will pray. 
 
 3 Lord, tliou shalt early hear my^-oice : 
 
 I early will direct 
 My prayer to thee ; and, looking up, 
 an answer will expect. 
 
 4 For thou art not a God that doth 
 
 in wickedness deliglit ; 
 NeitlKv shall evil dwell with thee: 
 
 5 Nor fools stand iu thy sight. 
 
( 7 ) 
 
 All that ilkloci's are, tliou hat'st 
 i Cutt'st off that liars be: 
 The bloody and dect itfiil man 
 abhorred is by thee. 
 
 7 But I unto thy house wil! coine 
 
 in thine abundant grace ; 
 And I will worship in thy fear 
 towards thy holy place. 
 
 8 Because of those mine enemies, 
 
 Lord, in thy righteousness 
 Do thou me lead ; do thou thy way 
 make straight before my lace. 
 
 9 For in their mouth there is no trutlj, 
 
 tluir inward part is ill; 
 Their tlnoat's an open sepulchre, 
 their tongue doth flatter still. 
 
 10 O God, destroy them : let them be 
 
 by their own counsel quell'd : 
 Them for their many sins cast out, 
 for they 'gainst thee rebel I'd. 
 
 11 But let all. joy il)at trust in thee, 
 
 and still make shouting noise; 
 For them thou sav'st : let all that love 
 thy name, in thee rejoice. 
 
 12 For, Lord, unto the lighteous man 
 
 thou wilt thy blessing yield : 
 With favour thou wilt compass hiui 
 about as witli a shield. 
 
 PSALM 6. 
 
 1 LORD, in thy wrath rebuke me not; 
 
 nor ill thy hot rage chasten me. 
 
 2 Lord, pity me, for I am weak : 
 
 heal me, for my bones vexed be. .

 my foe was I did free ;) 
 
 5 Then let ^le foe pursue and take 
 
 my soul, and my life thrust 
 Dow n to the earth, and let him lay

 Against the persecutors he 
 his sliafts ordained hath. 
 
 14 Behold, he with iniquity 
 
 doth travail, as in biith ; 
 A mischief he conceived hath^ 
 and falsehood shall bring forth. 
 
 15 He made a pit, and di^g'd it deep, 
 *. another there to take": 
 
 But he is falfji into the ditch 
 
 which he himself did make. 
 10 Upon his own head his mischief 
 
 sliall be returned home ;

 PSALM 10. 
 
 1 WHEREFORE is it, that theu, O Lord, 
 
 dost stand from us afar ? 
 And wherefore hidest thou thyself 
 when times so troublous are ? 
 
 2 The wicked in his loftiness 
 
 doth persecute the poor : 
 In these devices they have fram'd 
 let them be taken sure. 
 
 3 The wicked of his heart's desire 
 
 doth talk with boasting great ; 
 
 Heblesseth him that's covetous, 
 
 whom yt t the Lord doth hsite. 
 
 4 The wicketl, through his pride efface, 
 
 on God he dot!) not call; 
 And in the counsels of his heart 
 tlit Lord is notat aU. 
 
( 15 ) 
 
 5 His ways they always grievous are, 
 
 tliy j'ldgnieiUs from his sight 
 Reiiiovcd are : at allhis foes 
 he pufftth with despite. 
 
 6 Within liis heart he thus hath said, 
 
 I sliall not moved be ; 
 And no adversity at ali 
 Shall ever come to me. 
 
 7 His month with cursing, fraud, deceit,. 
 
 is fill'd abundantly ; 
 And underneath his tongue there is 
 mischief and vanity. 
 3 He closely sits in villages; 
 he slays the innocent: 
 Against" the poor that pass him by 
 his cruel eyes are bent. 
 9 He, lion-like, lurks in his den ; 
 he waits the poor to take ; 
 And when he draws him in his net, 
 his pre) he doth him make. 
 10 Himself he humbleth very low, 
 he croucheth dow n w ithal, 
 That so a multitude of poor 
 may by his strong ones fall. 
 ^1 He thus liath said within his heart, 
 the Loi-d hath quite forgot ; 
 He hides his countenance, and he 
 for ever sees it not. 
 
 12 O Lord, do thou arise; O Gotl, 
 
 lift up thine hand on high ; 
 Put not tlie weak afRicied ones 
 out of thv memory. 
 
 13 Why is it that the wicked man 
 
 th«s doth the Loid despised 
 
C ifi ) 
 
 Because that G&d will it require 
 he in his heart denies. 
 
 14 Thou hast it seen ; for their mischief 
 
 and spite thou wilt repay ; 
 The poorcomviiitshiiiiself to thee; 
 thou art the orpiian's stay. 
 
 15 The arm break of ihe wicketl man, 
 
 and of the evil one; 
 Do thou seek out his wickedness, 
 until thou findest iwne.

 17 O Lord, of those that" humble are 
 
 thou the desire didft hear: 
 Thou wilt prepare th.-ir lu-art, and thou 
 to hear wilt bend thine ear.

 PSALM 11. 
 I IN the Lord do put my trust ; 
 
 liow is it then that ye 
 Say to Jny soul, Flee, as » bird,

 But his soul halt s tlie wicked man, 
 
 and him that vi'lence lovt s. 
 
 6 Snm'es, fire & brimstone, furious storms 
 
 on sinners he shall rain : 
 This, as the portion of their cup, 
 doth unto tlieni pertain. 
 
 7 Because the Lord most rij^hteous doth 
 
 in ris-hteousness delight ; 
 And with a pleasant countenance 
 beholdcth the upright. 
 
 PSALM U. 
 
 1 HELP, Lord, liecanse the godly maiv 
 
 doth daily fade away. 
 And fioni among the'sons of mo» 
 the faithful do decay. 
 
 2 Unto his neighlwur ev'ry one 
 
 doth utter vanity ; 
 They with a double heart do speak, 
 and lips of .'lattery. 
 
 3 God sliall cut off all flatt'ringlips, 
 
 tongues that speak proudly thiis, 
 
 4 We'll with our toti^ue prevail, ourlip^S

 O how longr shall it be, that thou

 2 How lon!^ take counsel in my soul,

 cij to my God did I : 
 He from liis lemple heard my voice, 
 to his ears came my cry.

 18 And from above the Lord sent down, 
 and took nie from below ; 
 From many waters lie me drew, 
 wiiich would me overflow. 
 
 17 He me reliev'd from my strong foes, 
 
 and such as did me hate : 
 Because he saw that they for me 
 too strong were, and too great. 
 
 18 They me prevented iu the day 
 
 of my calamity ; 
 But even then the Lord himself 
 a stay was unto me. 
 
 19 He to a place where liberty 
 
 and room was, hath me brouglit ; 
 Because he took delight in me, 
 he my deliv'rance wrought.

 he did me recompense. 
 He me repaid according to 
 my hands' pure innocence.

 his laws put not from me.

 with him upright was I : 
 And watchfully I kept myself 
 from mine iniquit)-. 
 
 24 After my righteousness the Lord 
 
 hath recompensed me. 
 After the cleanness of my hands 
 appearing in his eye.

 and them discomfit all ; 
 And, by my God assisting me, 
 I overleap a wall.

 break bows of steel in pieces.

 and did them overtake ; 
 Nor did I turn again tiil I 
 an end of them did make. 
 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; 
 they at my feet did fall. 
 Thou girded'st me with strength for war; 
 my foes thou brought'st down all. 
 
 40 And thou hast giv'n to me the necks 
 
 of all mine enemies ; 
 That I might them destroy and slay, 
 who did ag-ainst me rise. 
 
 41 They cried out, but there was none 
 
 that would or could them save ; 
 Yea, they did C17 unto the Lord, 
 but he no answer gave. 
 
 42 Then did I beat them small as dust 
 
 before the wind that flies ; 
 And I did cast them out like dirt ; 
 upon the street that lies. 
 
 43 Thou mad'st me free from people's strife 
 
 and Heathen's head to be : 
 A people whom I liave not known 
 shall service do to me. 
 
 44 At hearing they shall me obey, 
 
 to me they shall submit. 
 
 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away, 
 
 who in close places sit.

 of my health praised be.

 1 THE wicked man's transgression 
 
 within my heart thus says, 
 Undoubt«ll'y the ilar oi" God 
 is not Ix-fore his eyes. 
 
 2 Because himself he flattereth, 
 
 in liis own blindixl eye. 
 Until thehatefulnessbe found, 
 of his iniquity. 
 
 3 Words from his mouth proceeding are, 
 
 fraud and iniquity : 
 He to be wise, and to do good, 
 hatli left off utterly. 
 
 4 He mischief, lying on his bed, 
 
 most cinmins:ly doth plot : 
 He Sits himself in ways.not good : 
 ill be ahliorretJi not. 
 
( 60 ) 
 
 5 Thy merq', Lord, is in the heav'ns; 
 
 thy tnitli doth reach the clouds. 
 
 6 Tliy justice is like mountains great ; 
 
 thy judgements deep as Hoods : 
 Loixl, thou preservest man and beast, 
 
 7 How precious is thy grace ! 
 Therefore, in shadow of thy w ings 
 
 men's sons their trust shall place. 
 S They with the fatness of thy house 
 shall be well satisfied : 
 From rivers of thy pltasm-es thou 
 wilt drink to them provide. 
 9 Because of life the fountain pure 
 remains alone with thee ; 
 And in that purest light of thine 
 we clearly light shall see. 
 
 10 Thy lovingkindness unto them 
 
 continue that thee kjiow ; 
 And still on men upright in heart 
 thy righteousness bestow. 
 
 11 Let not the loot of cruel pride 
 
 come, and against me stand ; 
 And let n\e not removed be, 
 Lord, by the wicked's hand.

 Cast down they are, and never shall

 PSALM 37. 
 1 For evil doers fret thou not 
 th>self unqiiietly ; 
 Nor do thou envy bear to those

 2 For, even like unto the grass 
 
 soon be cut down sliall tliey ; 
 And, like the green and tender herb, 
 they witlier shall away. 
 
 3 Set tljou thy trust upon the Lonl, 
 
 and be thoii doing good ; 
 And so thou in the land shalt dwell, 
 and verily have food. 
 
 4 Delight thyself in God, he'll give 
 
 thine heart's desire to thee. 
 
 5 Thy way to God commit, him trust, 
 
 it bring to pass shall he. 
 
 6 And, like unto the liglit, he shall 
 
 thy righteousness display ; 
 And he thy judgmem shall bring fortk 
 like noon-tide of the da). 
 
 7 Rest in the Loi-d, and pa;icntly 
 
 wait for him ; do not fret 
 For him who prosp'ring in his way, 
 
 success in sin doth get. 
 S Do thou from anger cease, and wrath 
 
 see thou for- ake also ; 
 Fret not thyself i.i* any wise, 
 
 that evil thou should'st do. 
 9 Forihosethat evil doers are 
 
 shall be cut off and fail ; - ^ 
 
 But those tlxat wait ujjon the Lord ;^>; 
 
 the earth inherit shall. fM 
 
 10 For yet a little while, and then W 
 
 the wicked shail not be ; ?* 
 
 His place thou shalt consider well, 1 
 
 but it thou shalt not se« ' 
 
 11 But by inhtriiance the earth Is 
 
 the meek ones tball possess; 
 
( 62 ) 
 
 They also shall delight themselves 
 ill an abundant peaue. 
 
 12 The wicked plots ngairsst the just, 
 
 and at him whets his teeth. 
 
 13 The Lord shall laugh at him, because 
 
 his day he coming seeth. 
 
 14 The wiclced ha\e draw n out the sword, 
 
 and bent tlieir bow to slay 
 The poor anil neetly, and to icill 
 men of an upright way. 
 
 15 But their own sword, which they have 
 
 shall enter their own heart ; [drawn, 
 
 Their bows which they have bent siiall 
 
 and into pieces part. [break, 
 
 16 A little that a. just man hath 
 
 is more and better iar 
 Than is the wealth of many such 
 as lertd and wicked are. 
 
 17 For sinner's anus shall broken be; 
 
 but God the just sustains. 
 
 18 God knows the just man's days ; and 
 
 their heritage remains. [siill 
 
 1>» They shall not be ashai.iM when they 
 the evil time do see; 
 And when tl-.e days of famine are, 
 they satisfy'd shall be. 
 20 But wiekt<l men, and foes of Gol, 
 as fat of lambs diicay ; 
 They shall consume, yea, into smoke 
 tiny sliall consume away. 
 1\ The wiokt'il borrows, but the same 
 again he doth not pay ; 
 Whereas the righteous mercy shows, 
 aud gives his own away. 
 
( 63 ) 
 
 22 For such as bl< ssed be, of him, 
 
 the earth iiihu-it shall ; 
 And they that cmsed aie of him, 
 shail be destroyeil all. 
 
 23 A good man's footsteps by the Lord 
 
 areiJidered aright ; 
 And in the w ay whei-ein he walks 
 he greatly doth deliglit. 
 
 24 Akhoui^^i he fall, yet he shall not 
 
 be cast down utterly; 
 Because the Lord with his own hand 
 upholds him mjghliiy. 
 
 25 I have been joung and now am old, 
 
 yet haxe I never seen 
 The just man left, nor that his seed 
 for bread ha^■e beggars been. 
 
 26 He's ever merciful and lends; 
 
 his seed is bless'd therefore. 
 
 27 Depart from evil, and do good ; 
 
 and dwell far evermore. 
 
 28 For God loves judgment, and his saints 
 
 leaves not in any case. 
 They are kept ever; but cut off 
 shall be the sinner's race. 
 
 29 The just inherit shall the land, 
 
 and ever in it dwell. 
 
 30 Th2 just man's month dotii wisdom ' 
 
 his tongue doth Judgement tell.[si)eak ; 
 
 31 In's heart the law is of his Gotl, 
 
 bis steps slide not away. 
 
 32 The wicked man doth v.alch the jusr. 
 
 and seeketh him to slaj. 
 
 33 Yet him the Lord will not forsake, 
 
 noi leave* him in his hands; 
 
( 64 ) 
 
 The righteous will he not condema 
 when he in juclgnieiit stands. 
 
 34 Wait on the Lord and keep his way, 
 
 and thte exalt shall he 
 Th' earth to inherit when cut otf 
 tl>e wicked thou shah see. 
 
 35 I saw the wicked great in pow 'r, 
 
 spread like a green bay-tree : 
 3§ He past, yea, was not ; him I soughr, 
 but i'ound he could not be. 
 
 37 ]SIark thou the perfect, and behold 
 
 the man of uprightness ; 
 Because that surely of this man 
 the latter end is peace. 
 
 38 But tliose men that transgressors are 
 
 shall be destroyed together; 
 The latter end of wicked men 
 shall be cut off for ever. 
 
 39 But tliesalvationofthejust 
 
 is from the Loi-d above ; 
 He, ill the time of their disti*es?, 
 their stay and strength doth prove. 
 
 40 The Lord shall help, and them deliver : 
 
 he shall them free and save 
 From wicked men, because in him 
 tlieir confidence tliey have.

 PSALM 02. 
 
 1 MY soul with expectation 
 
 depends on (iod indeetl : 
 My stren,;;;th and my salvation doth 
 i'roni him alone proceed. 
 
 2 He only my salvation is, 
 
 and my strong rock is he : 
 
 He only is my sure defence ;

 3 How long will ye against a man 
 
 plot misGhief"? ye shall all 
 Be slain : ye as a tott'ritig fence 
 sliall be, and bowing wall. 
 
 4 Th( y only plot to cast him down 
 
 from his exeelleijcy : 
 They joy in lies, with mouth they bless, 
 but they ein-je inwardly.

 upon thy God alone:

 On him dependeth all my hope 
 aud exptelatioii.

 and my strong rock is he : 
 He only is my sure defence ; 
 I sliall not moved be. 
 
 7 In God my ^lory placed is, 
 
 and my salvation sure :

 my refuge most w^cure. 
 
 8 Ye people, place your confidence 
 
 in liini continually r 
 Before him poor ye out your heart | 
 God is our refugejhigh. 
 
 9 Surely mean men are vanity, 
 
 and great men are a lie : 
 In balance laid, they wholly are 
 more light than vanity. 
 
 10 Trust ye not in oppression, 
 
 in robb'ry be not vain ; 
 On wealth set not your hearts, when as 
 ineieasetl is your gain. 
 
 11 God hatli it spoken once to me, 
 
 yea, this I heard again. 
 That power to Almighty God, 
 alone doth appertain.

 P13 While yet they went from land to laud 
 without a sure abode ; 
 And while thro' sundry kingdoms they 
 did wander far abroad. 
 14 Yet, notwithstanding', siiffer'd he 
 no man to do them wrong ; 
 [Yea, fur their sakes, he did reprove 
 kings, who were great and strong. 
 35 Thus did he say, Touch ye not those

 Nor do the prophets any Ijarm 
 that do iKTtain to me.

 He that the people's ruler was 
 did send to set bim free. 
 
 21 A lord to rule his family 
 
 he rais'd him, as most fit ;

 he did the charge commit ; 
 
 22 That he might at his pleasure bir.d 
 
 the princes of the land ; 
 And lie might teach liis senators 
 wisdom to understand. 
 
 23 Tlie people then of Israel 
 
 down into Egypt came ; 
 And Jacob also sojourned %

 And stronger than their enemies m

 Aaron his chosen one. 
 27 By these his signs and wonders great 
 
 in Ham's land were made known.

 to visit me draw near. 
 
 5 That I thy chosen's good may see,

 And may with thine inheritance 
 triumph with cheerful voice. 
 
 6 We with our fathers sin;ied have, 
 
 and of iniquity 
 Too long we have the workers been, 
 we have done wickt- diy. 
 
 7 The wonders great, which thou, O Lord, 
 
 didst work in Egypt land, 
 Our fathers, though they saw, yet them 
 
 t!iey did not understand ; 
 And they thy mercies multitude 
 
 kept not in memory ; 
 But at the sea, ev'n the Red sea, 
 
 provok'dhiin giievously. / 
 
 8 Nevertheless, he sa\ 'd them, 
 
 ev'n for liis own name's sake ; 
 That so he might to bf well known 
 his migluy power make.

 he safely raade thuni pass. 
 
 10 Fromliands of those that hated tliera 
 
 he did his people sa^e ; 
 And froi.i the en'my's cruel hand 
 to them redemption gave. 
 
 11 The wafers overwhehn'd their foes ; 
 not 01 le .vas left alive. 
 
 12 Then th- y believ'd his woi-d, and praise 
 to hiiu in songs did give. 
 
 13 But soon did th'^y his ..lighty works, 
 
 forget uiithankftilly, 
 And on his couns 1 and his will 
 did not wait pati.:ntly : 
 ^14 But .liuch dii! lust in wilderHess,

 15 He g.i. ■ tli whutUiey sought, but to 
 theu'soui he leanness s^nt. 
 
 16 And agci.:jt .Mosis in the camp 
 their envy did appear ; 
 
 At Ar.ron th.-y, the saint of God, 
 envious also were. 
 
 17 Therefore the eaith did open wide, 
 and Dathan did flavour, 
 
 And all Abiram's comjianj' 
 did cover in that hour. 
 
 18 Likewsie among their company 
 a fire was kindled tin n ; 
 
 And so the hot consuming flaiUe 
 burnt up these w iciitd men. 
 
 19 Upon the hill of Horebthey 
 an idol-calf did frame, 
 
 A molten Imagi- ilicy did make, 
 Hud worshipped tile same. 
 
20 And thus theiv glory, and tlidv Gow, 
 
 most vainly clianged they 
 Iiito the likeness of an ox 
 that eateth grass or hay. 
 
 21 They did forget the mighty God, 
 
 that had their Saviour heen, 
 By whom such great things brought to 
 they liad in Egypt seen. i • "■ 
 
 22 In Hanvs land lie did wondrous v, or! ;, 
 
 thiiigs terrible did he. 
 When he his mighty hand and arm

 23 Then said he. He would them destrcy. 
 
 liad not, his wrath to stay, 
 His chosen Closes stood in breach, 
 that them he should not slay. 
 
 24 Yea. theydespis'd the pleasant land, 
 
 belicveil not hisAVord : 
 
 25 But in their tents they murmured, 
 
 not heark'jiing to the Lord. 
 
 26 Therefore in desert them to slay- 
 
 he lifted up his hand : 
 
 27 'Mong natians to o'erthrow their seccFj 
 
 and scatter in each land. 
 23 They unto Baal-peor did 
 themselves associate ; 
 The sacrifices of the dead 
 they did profanely fat. 
 
 29 Thus, by tlieir lewd inventions, 
 
 they did provoke his ire ; 
 
 And then upon theni suddenly 
 
 the plague brake in as fire.

 So that he utter'd with bis lips 
 wbuls unadvisedly. 
 34 Nor. as the Lonl coinmanded them, 
 did they the nations slny ; 
 But witii the heathen mingicd were, 
 
 ar.d learn'd of them their way. 
 And they their idols serv'd : which did 
 a snare unto them turn.

 their hands they did embrue,

 for saci-ifices slew : 
 So was the hnuF defd'd with blood.

 the wrath of (^od tht rtfore.

 did call to niemoiy.

 so great account dost make ?

 from great depths draw me out : 
 And from the hand of children strange 
 
 8 Whose mouth speaks vanity : 
 And their right hand is a right baud 
 
 that works deceitfully. 
 
 9 A new song I to thee will sing, 
 
 Lord, on a psaltery : 
 I on a ten-string'd instrument 
 will praises sing to thee.
