ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES. 
 
 CHAPTER L 
 
 Music is the harmonious combination of Sounds. 
 Musical Sounds differ from one another in four respects; they 
 may be 
 
 1. Long or Short. 3. Soft or Loud. 
 
 2. High or Low. 4. Pleasant or unpleasant. 
 
 Departments 
 
 1. Rhythm, 
 
 2. Melody, 
 
 3. Dynamics, 
 
 4. Expression. 
 
 Hence we have four 
 
 and four Subjects. 
 
 meaning 
 
 1. Length. 
 
 2. Pitch. 
 
 3. Power. 
 
 4. Quality. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 Rhythm. Every tune is divided into equal portions, called 
 Measures. 
 
 Bar. Bar. 
 
 Measures are separated by perpen- 
 dicular lines, called Bars. Thus

 Measures are again divided into smaller portions, called parts 
 of measures.

 ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES. 
 
 Double Measure has two parts. 
 Triple " " three parts. 
 
 Quadruple " " four parts. 
 
 Sextuple " " six parts. 
 
 The Time is governed by motions of the hand, called beating 
 or marking time. Each part of a measure must have one 
 motion. 
 
 The figure above the line at the commencement of every tune 
 tells how many motions to make to each measure.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 Musical sounds are represented by eight figures, called notes, 
 
 thus:— 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 
 C. *D. . E. F. G. A. B. C. 
 
 This succession of sounds, is called the Musical Ladder, Scale 
 or Octave. 
 
 The Staff consists of one horizontal line. The notes art 
 written below, upon, and above this line, thus : — 
 
 Lower Octave. Middle Octave. 
 
 12345678 
 
 12345678 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 
 
 Uoper Octave. 
 
 To aid in giving the correct sound, it is common to use the 
 following syllables : — 
 
 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 
 Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do 
 
 It will be observed, in singing the scale, that the eighth sound 
 of the lower octave is the first or lowest sound of the next above. 
 This scale should be sung by syllables, numerals, letters, &c, 
 always inhaling a full breath, and giving a distinct articula- 
 tion.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 Rhythm and Melody. 
 
 -Band Tune or correct intonation comprises the #fa) 
 vocal music. Hence, the regular marte.iuj.of time by mot: 
 i he hand is all important. 
 The time a sound continues gives name to the note. 
 1 beat note. 2 beat. 3 beat. \ beat. J beat.

 Thus the octave is divided into inter- 
 vals of steps and half steps. The whole 
 steps occur between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 
 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 6 and 7. Between 3 
 and 4, 7 and 8 are half steps. The scale, 
 as thus represented, is, in its first posi- 
 tion, usually termed the natural scale. 
 
 Tunes written in this scale, are indi- 
 cated by the numeral 1, or letter C, be- 
 low the line at the commencement.

 Note. — To dwell on examples like the above, is found much 
 the best course to pursue in acquiring a practical knowledge of 
 Rhythm and Melody. The tediousness of the exercises may be 
 relieved, however, by introducing familiar songs or airs at pro- 
 per intervals. 
 
 CHAPTER VI.

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 E xpb ession — Style. 
 
 This requires the singer to be a correct reader. Great care 
 should be paid to the manner of uttering sounds. The vowels 
 alone are to be prolonged. These should be given with accuracy, 
 and carefully continued without the least change. 
 
 The position of the teeth, lips, tongue, and throat must not 
 change while the sound is continued. 
 
 The articulation should be distinct ; to ensure this the con- 
 sonants must be uttered very quickly and forcibly. A drag- 
 ging, drawling, pronunciation should be avoided even in the 
 slowest choral music. 
 
 Pauses, both grammatical and rhetorical, are also necessary 
 to good singing. These are obtained by shortening the previous 
 note or syllable.

 Psalm I. 
 
 1 That man hath perfect blessedness 
 
 who walketh not astray 
 In counsel of ungodly men, 
 nor stands in sinners' way, 
 
 Nor sitteth in the soorner's chair: 
 
 2 But placeth his delight 
 
 Upon God'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 its season yields its fruit, 
 and its leaf fadeth never; 
 
 And all he doth shall prosper well. 
 
 4 The wicked are not so: 
 
 But like they are unto the chaff, 
 which wind drives to and fro. 
 
 5 In judgment, therelbre, shall not stand 
 
 such as ungodly are: 
 Nor in th' assembly of the just 
 shall wicked men appear. 
 
 6 Because the way of godly men 
 
 unto the Lord is known: 
 Whereas the ways of wicked men 
 shall quite be overthrown.

 1 Why rage the heathen ? and vain thing3 
 
 why do the people mind ? 
 
 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves, 
 
 and princes are combin'd 
 
 To plot against the Lord, and his 
 Anointed, saying thus, 
 
 3 Let us asunder break their bands, 
 
 and cast their cords from us. 
 
 4 He that in Heaven sits shall laugh ; 
 
 the Lord shall scorn them all. 
 
 5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath* 
 
 in rage he vex them shall. 
 
 Yet notwithstanding. I h ; 've him 
 to be my king appointed; 
 And over Zion. my holy hill, 
 1 have him King anointed. 
 
 7 The sure decree I will declare: 
 The Lord hath 6aid to me, 
 
 Thou art mine only Son: this day 
 I have begotten thee. 
 
 8 Ask of me, and for heritage 
 
 the heathen I'll make thine; 
 And, for possession, I to thee 
 will give earth's utmost line. 
 
 9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod 
 
 of iron, break them all; 
 And as a potter's sherd, thou shalt 
 them dash in pieces small. 
 
 10 Now, therefore, kings, be wise; be taught 
 * ye judges of the earth: 
 
 11 Serve (ioil in fear, and see that ye 
 
 j >in trembling with your mirth. 
 
 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire 
 
 ye perish from the way, 
 If once his wrath begin to burn: 
 bless'd all that on hirn stay*

 1 Give ear unto me when I call, 
 
 God of my righteousness : 
 Have mercy, hear rr.y pray'r; thou hast 
 enlarged me in distress. 
 
 2 O ye the sons of men, how long 
 
 will ye love vanities ? 
 How long my glory turn to shame, 
 and will ye follow lies ? 
 
 3 But know, that for himself the Lord 
 
 the godly man doth choose: 
 The Lord, when I on him do call, 
 to hear will not refuse. 
 
 Fear, and sin not; talk with your heart 
 on bed, and silent be. 
 
 5 OfT'nngs present of righteousness, 
 and in the Lord trust ye. 
 
 6 O who will show us any good ? 
 
 is that which many sav: 
 But of thy countenance the light, 
 Lord, lift on us alway. 
 
 Upon my heart, bestowed by thee, 
 
 more gladness I have found, 
 Than they, ev'n then, when corn and win© 
 
 did most with them abound. 
 
 8 I will both lay me down in peace, 
 
 and quiet .sleep will take: 
 
 Because thou only me to dwell 
 
 in safety, Lord, dost make.

 1 Give ear unto my words, O Lord, 
 
 my meditation weigh. 
 
 2 Hear my loud cry, my King, my God; 
 
 for I to thee will pray. 
 
 3 Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice : 
 
 I early will direct 
 My pray'r to thee; and, looking up, 
 an answer will expect. 
 
 4 For thou art not a God that doth 
 
 in wickedness delight ; 
 Neither shall evil dwell with thee, 
 
 5 nor fools stand in thy sight. 
 
 All that ill doers are thou hat'st; 
 
 6 Cv.tt'st off that liars be: 
 The bloody and deceitful man 
 
 abhorred is by thee. 
 
 7 But I into thine house will come 
 
 in thine abundant grace; 
 And I will worship in thy fear, 
 toward 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 face. 
 
 9 For in their mouth there is no truth, 
 
 their inward part is ill ; 
 Their throat's an open sepulcher, 
 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 rebell'd. 
 
 11 But let all joy that 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 righteous man 
 
 thou wilt thy blessing yield; 
 With favor thou wilt 'compass him 
 about, as with a shield. 
 
WIN Dn AM. L. M. Ps. 6. 
 
 Psalm VI. 
 
 1 Lord, in thy wrath, rehuke me not; 
 
 nor in thy hot rage chasten me. 
 
 2 Lord, pity me, for 1 am weak: 
 
 heal me, for my hones vexed he. 
 
 3 My soul is also vexed sore ; 
 
 but, Lord, how long Itay wilt thou make? 
 
 4 Return, <) Lord, my sou] set free : 
 
 save me for thy mercy's sake. 
 
 5 Because those that deceased are, 
 
 of thee shall no remembrance have ; 
 And who is he that will to thee 
 give praises, lying in the grave? 
 
 G I with my groaning weary am, 
 
 1 also, all the night, nu- bed 
 Have caused for to swim : and [ 
 
 with tears my COUcb have watered. 
 
 7 Mine eye, consnm'd with irrief, <^ows old, 
 
 because of all nunc enemies. 
 t> Hence from me, wicked workers all; 
 
 for God hath heard my Weeping cries. 
 
 9 God hath my supplication heard ; 
 
 my pray'r received graciously. 
 
 10 Bham'd and sore vex'd he all my foes ; 
 
 sham'd and back turned suddenly. 
 
 SECOND VERSION. 
 
 1 In thy great indignation, 
 
 < ) Lord, rebuke me not; 
 Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand 
 in thy displeasure hot. 
 
 2 Lord, 1 am weak, therefore on me 
 
 have mercy, and me spare : 
 Heal me, O Lord, because thou know'st 
 my bones much vexed are. 
 
 3 My soul is vexed >ore ; but, Lord, 
 
 how long stay wilt thou make? 
 
 4 Return, Lord, free my soul, and save 
 
 me for thy mercy's sake. 
 
 ."> Beoanse of thee in death there shall 
 no more remembrance be : 
 Of those that in the <;rave do lie, 
 who shall give thanks to thee ? 
 
PSALM 7. 
 
 6 I with my groaning weary am, 
 
 and all the night my bed 
 I caused lor to swim ; with tears 
 my conch 1 watered. 
 
 7 By reason ol'mv \e.\ing grief, 
 
 mine eye consumed is : 
 
 It waxeth old, because of all 
 
 that be mine enemies* 
 
 8 But now depart from me, all ye 
 
 that work iniquity : 
 
 Because the Lord hath heard my voice, 
 when I did mourn and cry. 
 
 9 Unto my supplication, 
 
 the Lord did hearing give : 
 When I to liim my prayer make, 
 the Lord will it receive. 
 
 10 Let all be sham'd and troubled sore, 
 
 that en'mies are to me ; 
 Let them turn bac':, and suddenly 
 ashamed let them be. 
 
 ROCHESTER. C. M. Ph. 7 
 
 Psalm VII. 
 
 1 O Lord, my God, in thee do I 
 
 my confidence repose : 
 Save and deliver me from all 
 my persecuting foes; 
 
 2 Lest that the enemy my soul 
 
 should like a lion tear, 
 In pieces, rending it while there 
 is no deliverer. 
 
 3 O Lord my God, if it be so 
 
 that I committed this; 
 If it be so that in my hands 
 iniquity there is : 
 
 4 If I rewarded ill to him 
 
 that was at peace with me ; 
 (Yea, ev'n the man that without 
 my foe was I did free ;) 
 
PSALM 8. 
 
 5 Then let the foe pursue and take 
 
 My soul, and my life thrust 
 Down to the earth, and let him lay 
 mine honor in the dust. 
 
 6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord; raise thyself, 
 
 for my foes raging be ; 
 And to the judgment which thou hast 
 commanded, wake for me. 
 
 7 So shall th' assembly of thy folk 
 
 about encompass thee : 
 Thou, therefore, for their sakes, return 
 unto thy place on high. 
 
 8 The Lord he shall the people judge : 
 
 my judge, Jehovah, he, 
 After my righteousness, and mine 
 integrity in me. 
 
 9 O let the wicked's malice end , 
 
 but stablish 'steadfastly 
 The righteous : for the righteous God 
 the hearts and reins doth try. 
 
 10 In God, who saves the upright in heart, 
 
 is my defense and stay. 
 
 11 God just men judgeth, God is wroth 
 
 with ill men ev'ry day. 
 
 12 If he do not return again, 
 
 then he his sword will whet ; 
 His how he hath already bent, 
 and hath it ready set. 
 
 13 He also hath for him prepar'd 
 
 the instruments of death: 
 
 Against the persecutors he 
 
 his shafts ordained hath. 
 
 14 Behold, he with iniquity 
 
 doth travail, as in birth: 
 A mischief he conceived hath, 
 and falsehood shall bring forth. 
 
 15 He made a pit and digged it deep, 
 
 another there to take; 
 But he is fall'n into the ditch 
 which he himself did make. 
 
 16 Upon his own head his mischief 
 
 shall be returned home ; 
 His violent dealing also down 
 on his own pate shall come. 
 
 17 According to his righteonsness 
 
 The Lord I'll magnify ; 
 And will sing praise unto the name 
 Of God, that is most high.

 1 How excellent in all the earth, 
 
 Lord, our Lord, is thy name ! 
 Who hast thy glory far advanc'd 
 above the starry frame. 
 
 2 From infants' and from sucklings' mouth, 
 
 Thou didst strength ordain, 
 For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st 
 the avenging foe restrain. 
 
 3 When I look up unto the heav'ns, 
 
 which thine own fingers fram'd, 
 Unto the moon, and to the stars, 
 which were by thee ordain'd ; 
 
 4 Then say I, What is man, that he 
 
 remember'd is by thee 1 
 
 Or what the son of man, that thou 
 so kind to him should'st be 1 
 
 5 For thou a little lower hast 
 
 him than the angels made, 
 With glory and with dignity 
 thou crowned hast his head. 
 
 6 Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord, 
 
 all under 's feet didst lay; 
 
 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts 
 
 That in the field do stray ; 
 
 8 Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, 
 
 all that pass through the same. 
 
 9 How excellent in all the earth, 
 
 Lord, our Lord, is thy name !

 Psalm IX. 
 
 1 Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart, 
 
 thy wonders all proclaim. 
 
 2 In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy, 
 
 and sing unto thy name. 
 
 3 When back my foes were turn'd, they fell 
 
 and perish'd at thy sight; 
 
 4 For thou maintain'dst my right and cause 
 
 on throne sat'st judging right. 
 
 5 The heathen thou rebuked hast, 
 
 the wicked overthrown ; 
 Thou hast put out their names, that they 
 may never more be known. 
 
 6 O en'my ! now destructions have 
 
 an end perpetual : 
 Thou cities raz'd; perish'd with them 
 is their memorial. 
 
 7 God shall endure for aye; he doth 
 
 for judgment set his throne; 
 
 8 In righteousness to judge the world, 
 
 justice to give each one. 
 
 9 ('j'od also will a refuge be 
 
 for those that are oppress'd; 
 A refuge will he be in times 
 of trouble, to distress'd. 
 
 10 And they that know ft»y name, in thee 
 
 their confidence wi'l place : 
 For thou hast not forsaken them 
 that truly seek thy face. 
 
 11 O sing y* praises to the Lord, 
 
 that dwells on Sion hill ; 
 And all the nations among 
 his deeds record ye still. 
 
 12 When he inquireth after blood, 
 
 he then rememb'reth them: 
 
 The humble folk he not forgets 
 that call upon his name. 
 
 13 Lord, pity me; behold the srief 
 
 which 1 from foes sustain; 
 Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death 
 dost raise me up again; 
 
 14 That I, in Sion's daughters' gates, 
 
 may all thy praise advance; 
 And that I may rejoice always 
 in thy deliverance. 
 
 J5 The' heathen are sunk in the pit, 
 which they themselves prepar'd ; 
 And in the net which they have hid, 
 their own feet fast are snar'd. 
 
 1G The Lord is by the judgment known, 
 which he himself hath wrought : 
 The sinners' hands do make the snares 
 wherewith themselves are caught. 
 
 17 They who are wicked, into hell 
 
 each one shall turned be ; 
 
 And all the nations that forget 
 
 to seek the Lord most high. 
 
 18 For they that needy are, shall not 
 
 forgotten be alway; 
 The expectation of the poor 
 shall not be lost for aye. 
 
 19 Arise, Lord, let not man prevail; 
 
 judge heathen in thy sight; 
 
 20 That they may know themselves but men, 
 
 the nations, Lord, affright. 
 
 Psalm X. 
 
 1 Wherefore is it that thon, O Lord, 
 
 dost stand from us afar ? 
 
 And wherefore hidest thou thyself, 
 
 when times so troublous are 7 
 
PSALM 10. 
 
 11 
 
 ! The wicked, in his loftiness, 
 doth persecute the poor : 
 
 In these devices they have framed, 
 let them he taken sure. 
 
 3 The wicked of his heart's desire 
 
 doth talk with boasting great; 
 
 He hlesseth him that's covetous, 
 
 whom yet the Lord doth hate. 
 
 4 The wicked, through his pride of face, 
 
 on God he doth not call; 
 And in the counsels of his heart 
 the Lord is not at all. 
 
 5 His ways, they always grievous are; 
 
 thy judgments from his sight 
 Removed are : at all his foes 
 he puffeth with despite. 
 
 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, 
 
 I shall not moved be; 
 And no adversity at all 
 shall ever come to me. 
 
 7 His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit, 
 
 is fill'd abundantly; 
 And underneath his tongue, there is 
 mischief and vanity. 
 
 8 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 prey he doth him make. 
 
 10 Himself he humbleth very low, 
 he croucheth down, withal, 
 
 That so a multitude of poor 
 may bv his strong ones fall. 
 
 11 He thus hath said within his heart, 
 
 The Lord hath quite forgot : 
 He hides his countenance, and he 
 forever sees it not. 
 
 12 O Lord, do thou arise; O God, 
 
 lift up thine hand on high : 
 Put not the meek afflicted ones 
 out of thy memory. 
 
 13 Why is it that the wicked man 
 
 thus doth the Lord despise ? 
 Because, that God will it require 
 he in his heart denies. 
 
 14 Thou hast it seen; for their mischief 
 
 and spite thou wilt repay : 
 The poor commits himself to thee : 
 thou art the orphan's stay. 
 
 15 The arm break of the wicked man, 
 
 and of the evil one; 
 Do thou seek out his wickedness, 
 until thou findest none. 
 
 16 The Lord is King through ages all, 
 
 ev'n to eternity : 
 The heathen people from his land 
 are perish'd utterly. 
 
 17 O Lord, of those that humble are 
 
 thou the desire didst hear : 
 Thou wilt prepare their heart, and. thou 
 to hear wilt bend thine ear; 
 
 18 To judge the fatherless, and those 
 
 that are oppressed sore; 
 That man, that is but sprung of earth, 
 may them oppress no more.

 PSALM XI. 
 
 1 I IN the Lord, do put my trust; 
 
 how is it then, that ye 
 Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird, 
 unto your mountain high ? 
 
 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, 
 
 their shafts on strings they fit ; 
 That those who upright are in heart, 
 they privily may hit. 
 
 3 If the foundations be destroy 'd, 
 
 what hath the righteous done ? 
 
 4 God in his holy temple is, 
 
 in heaven is his throne: 
 
 His eyes do see, his eye-lids try 
 
 5 men's sons. The just he proves: 
 But his soul hates the wicked man, 
 
 and him that vi'lence loves. 
 
 6 Snares, fire and brimstone, furious 
 
 on sinners he shall rain : [storms, 
 
 This, as the portion of their cup, 
 doth unto them pertain. 
 
 7 Because the Lord, most righteous, doth 
 
 in righteousness delight; 
 And with a pleasant countenance 
 Beholdeth the upright. 
 
 Psalm XII. 
 
 1 Help, Lord, because the godly man 
 
 doth daily fade away; 
 And from among the sons of men 
 the faithful do decay. 
 
 2 Unto his neighbor every one 
 
 doth utter vanity: 
 They with a double heart do speak, 
 and lips of flattery. 
 
 3 God shall cut off all flatt'ring lips, 
 
 tongues that speak proudly; thus, 
 
 4 We'll with our tongue prevail, our lips 
 
 are ours; who's Lord o'er us ? 
 
 5 For poor oppress'd, and for the sighs 
 
 of needy, rise will I, 
 Saith God, and him in safety set 
 from such as him defy. 
 
 C The words of God, are words most pure; 
 they be like silver tried 
 In earthen furnace, seven times 
 that hath been purified. 
 
 7 Lord, thou shalt them preserve and keep 
 
 forever from this race. 
 
 8 On each side walk the wicked, when 
 
 vile men axe high in place.

 Psalm. XIII. 
 
 1 How long wilt thou forget me, Lord ? 
 
 shall it for ever be ? 
 O how long shall it be that thou 
 wilt hide thy face from me 1 
 
 2 How long take counsel in my soul, 
 
 still sad in heart, shall I ? 
 How long exalted over me 
 shall be mine enemy "? 
 
 3 O Lord, my God, consider well, 
 
 and answer to me make: 
 Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep 
 of death me overtake : 
 
 4 Lest that mine enemy should say, 
 
 Against him I prevail'd ; 
 And those that trouble me, rejoice 
 when I am mov'd and fail'd. 
 
 5 But I have all my confidence 
 
 thy meroy set upon ; 
 
 My heart, within me shall rejoice 
 in thy salvation. 
 
 6 I will unto the Lord my God 
 sing praises cheerfully, 
 Because he hath his bounty shown 
 to me abundantly. 
 
 Psalm XIV. 
 
 1 That there is not a God, the fool 
 
 doth in his heart conclude: 
 They are corrupt, their works are vile ; 
 not one of them do'th good. 
 
 2 Upon men's sons the Lord from heaven 
 
 did cast his eyes abroad, 
 To see if any understood, 
 and did seek after God. 
 
 3 They altogether filthy are, 
 
 they all aside are gone; 
 And there is none that doeth good, 
 yea, sure there is not one. 
 
14 
 
 PSALMS 13 — 10. 
 
 4 These workers of iniquity 
 
 do they not know at all ? 
 That they my people, eat as bread, 
 and on God, do not call. 
 
 5 There feared they much; for God is with 
 
 the whole race of the jntt, 
 
 6 You shame the counsel of the poor, 
 
 because God is his trust. 
 
 7 Let Israel's help from Sion come ! 
 
 when hack the Lord shall bring 
 His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, 
 and Israel shall sing. 
 
 PJalm XV. 
 
 1 Within thy tabernacle, Lord, 
 
 who shall abide with thee ? 
 And in thy high and holy hill 
 who shall a dweller be 1 
 
 2 The man that walketh uprightly, 
 
 and worketh righteousness ; 
 And as he thinketh in his heart, 
 so doth he truth express. 
 
 3 Who doth not slander with his tongue, 
 
 nor to his friend do'th hurt; 
 Nor yet against his neighbor doth 
 take up an ill report. 
 
 4 In whose eyes vile men are despised; 
 
 but those that God do fear 
 
 He honoreth and changeth not, 
 
 though to his hurt he swear. 
 
 5 His coin puts not to usury, 
 
 nor take reward will he 
 Against the guiltless. Who do'th thus, 
 shall never moved be. 
 
 Psalm XVI. 
 
 1 Lord, keep me ; for I trust in thee. 
 
 2 To God thus was my speech ; 
 Thou art my Lord, and unto thee 
 
 my goodness doth not reach : 
 
 3 To taintl on earth, to th' excellent, 
 
 where my delight'a all placed. 
 
 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied, 
 
 to other gods that haste: 
 
 Of their drink-orT'rings of blood 
 
 I will no off 'ring make; 
 Yea, neither I their very names 
 
 up in my lips will take. 
 
 5 God is of mine inheritance 
 
 and cup the portion : 
 The lot that fallen is to me 
 thou dost maintain alone. 
 
 6 Unto me happily the lines 
 
 in pleasant places fell ; 
 
 Yea, the inheritance I got 
 
 in beauty doth excel. 
 
 7 I bless the Lord, because he doth 
 
 by counsel me conduct; 
 
 And in the seasons of the night 
 
 my reins do me instruct. 
 
 8 Before me still the Lord I set : 
 
 since it is so that he 
 Doth ever stand at my right hand, 
 I shall not moved be. 
 
 9 Because of this my heart is glad, 
 
 and joy shall be exprest 
 Even by my glory; and my flesh 
 in confidence shall rest. 
 
 10 Because my soul in grave to dwell 
 
 shall not be left by thee; 
 Nor wilt thou give thine holy One 
 corruption to see. 
 
 11 Thou wilt me show the path of life: 
 
 of joys there is full store 
 Before thy face; at thy right hand 
 are pleasures evermore.

 4 As for men's works, I, by the word 
 
 that from thy lips doth" flow, 
 Did me preserve out of the paths 
 wherein destroyers go. 
 
 5 Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide 
 
 in those thy paths divine; 
 So that my footsteps may not slide 
 out of these ways of thine. 
 
 6 I called have on thee, O God, 
 
 because thou wilt me hear : 
 That thou may'st hearken to my speech, 
 to me incline thine ear. 
 
 7 Thy wondrous loving-kindness show, 
 
 thou that, b^thy right hand 
 Sav'st them that trust in thee, from those 
 that up against them stand. 
 
 8 As the app'e of the eye me keep; 
 
 in thy wings shade" me close, 
 
 9 From lewd oppressors, compassing 
 
 me round as deadly foes. 
 
 10 In their own fat they are enclosed. 
 
 their mouth speaks loftily. 
 
 11 Our steps they compass'd; and to ground 
 
 down bowing set their eye. 
 
 12 He like unto a lion is, 
 
 that's greedy f his prey; 
 Or lion young, which, lurking doth 
 in secret places stay. 
 
 13 Arise, and disappoint my foe, 
 
 and cast him down, b Lord: 
 My soul save from the wicked man, 
 the man which is thy sword. 
 
 14 From men, which are thy hand, O Lord, 
 
 from worldly men me save, 
 
 Which only in this present life 
 
 their part and portion have : 
 
 Whose belly with thv treasure hid 
 thou fill'stjthey children have 
 
 In plenty; of their goods, the rest 
 they to their children leave. 
 
 15 But as for me, I thine own face 
 
 in righteousness will see: 
 And with thy likeness, when I wake, 
 I satisfied shall be. 
 
 Psalm XVIII. 
 1 THKI will I love, O Lord, mv strength. 
 l 2 Mv fortress it the Lord; * 
 My rock, and he that doth to me 
 deliverance afi'ord: 
 
 My God, my strength, whom I will trust. 
 
 a buckler unto me; 
 The horn of my salvation, 
 and my high tower is he. 
 
 3 Upon the Lord, who worthy is 
 
 of praises, will I cry: 
 And then shall I preserved be, 
 safe from mine enemy. 
 
 4 Floods of ill men affrighted me, 
 
 death's pangs about me went: 
 
 5 Hell's sorrows me environed; 
 
 death's snares did me prevent. 
 
 6 In my distress 1 call'd on God, 
 
 cry to my God did I : 
 He from his temple heard my voice, 
 to his ears came my cry. 
 
 7 Th' earth, as affrighted, then did shako, 
 
 trembling upon it seized: 
 The hills' foundations moved were, 
 because he was displeas'd. 
 
 8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke, 
 
 and from his mouth there came 
 Devouring fire, and coals by it 
 were turned into flame. 
 
 9 He also bowed down the heav'ns, 
 
 and thence he did descend; 
 And thickest clouds of darkness did 
 under his feet attend. 
 
 10 And he upon a cherub rode, 
 
 and thereon he did fly; 
 Yea, on the swift wings of the wind 
 his flight was from on high. 
 
 11 He darkness made his secret place: 
 
 about him, for his tent, 
 Dark waters were, and thickest cloud* 
 of th' airy firmament. 
 
 12 And at the brightness of that light 
 
 which was before his eve, 
 His thick clouds pass'd away, hailstone* 
 and coals of lire did fly. 
 
 13 The Lord God aNo m the heav'ns 
 
 did thunder in hi> ire ; 
 And there the Highest gave his voice; 
 hailstones and ooali o\' fire. 
 
 14 Yea, be his arrows sent abroad, 
 
 and thOBB he scattered : 
 His lightning* also he shot out, 
 and thera discomfited. 
 
PSALM 18. 
 
 17 
 
 15 The waters' channels then were seen 
 
 The world's foundations vast 
 At thy rebuke discovered were, 
 and at thy nostrils' blast. 
 
 16 And from above the Lord sent down, 
 
 and took me from below; 
 From many waters he me drew, 
 which 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 in 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 brought : 
 Because he took delight in me, 
 he my deliv'rance wrought. 
 
 20 According to my righteousness 
 
 he did me recompense; 
 He me repaid according to 
 my hands' pure innocence. 
 
 21 For I God's ways kept, from my God 
 
 did not turn wickedly. 
 
 22 His judgments were before me, I 
 
 his laws put not from me. 
 
 23 Sincere before him was my heart, 
 
 with him upright was I ; 
 And watchfully [ kept myself 
 from mine iniquity. 
 
 24 After my rigbteousness the Lord 
 
 hath recompensed me, 
 After the cleanness of my hands 
 appearing in his eye. 
 
 25 Thou gracious to the gracious art, 
 
 to upright men upright: 
 
 26 Pure to the pure; fro ward thou provs't 
 
 unto the froward wight. 
 
 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save, 
 
 in grief that low do lie: 
 But wilt bring down the countenance 
 of them whose looks are high. 
 
 28 The Lord will light my candle so 
 
 that it shall shine full bright: 
 The Lord my God will also make 
 my darkness to be light. 
 
 29 By thee through troops of men I break, 
 
 and them discomfit all; 
 
 And by my God assisting me, 
 I over-leap a wall. 
 
 20 As for God, perfect is his way 
 the Lord his word is tried : 
 He is a buckler to all those 
 who do in him confide. 
 
 31 Who but the Lord is God? but he 
 
 who is a rock and stay? 
 
 32 'Tis God that girdeth me with strength, 
 
 and perfect makes my way. 
 
 33 He made my feet swift as the hincL's, 
 
 set me on my high places: 
 
 34 Mine hands to war he taught, mine arms 
 
 brake bows of steel in pieces. 
 
 35 The shield of thy salvation 
 
 thou didst on me bestow : 
 Thy right hand held me up, and great 
 thy kindness made me grow. 
 
 36 And in my way, my steps thou hast 
 
 enlarged under me, 
 That I go safely; and my feet 
 are kept from sliding free. 
 
 37 Mine en'mies I pursued have 
 
 and did them overtake; 
 Nor did I turn again, till I 
 an end of them did make. 
 
 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; 
 
 they at my feet did fall. 
 
 39 Thou girdest me with strength for war, 
 
 my foes, thou brought'st down all. 
 
 10 And thou hast given to me the necks 
 of all mine enemies: 
 That 1 might them destroy and slay, 
 who did against me rise. 
 
 41 They cried out. but there was none 
 
 that would or could them save ; 
 Yea, they diil cry 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 have 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 )laces sit. 
 
18 
 
 PSALMS 18 — 10. 
 
 46 God lives, blest be my rock; the God 
 
 of my health praised be. 
 
 47 God doth avenge me, and subdues 
 
 the people under me. 
 
 48 He saves me from mine enemies: 
 
 yea, thou hast lifted me 
 Above my foes; and from the man 
 of vi'lence set me free. 
 
 49 Therefore, to thee will I give thanks 
 
 the heathen folk among: 
 And to thy name, O Lord, I will 
 sing praises in a song. 
 
 50 He great deliv'rance gives his king: 
 
 he mercy doth extend 
 To David, his anointed one, 
 and his seed without end.

 1 The king, in thy great strength, O Lord, 
 
 shall very joyful he : 
 In thy salvation rejoice 
 how reh'menl ' . shall he! 
 
 2 Thou hast bestowed upon him 
 
 all t!. ould have ; 
 
 Ami tboo from him ■ '■■'. -t not withhold

 3 For thou with blessings him prevent'st 
 
 of good ne ss manifold : 
 And thon hast set upon his head 
 a crown of purest gold. 
 
 4 When he desired life of thee, 
 
 thou life to him didst give; 
 Ev'n such a length of days, that he 
 for evermore should live. 
 
 5 In that salvation wrought by thee 
 
 his ulory is made great: 
 
 Honor and comely majesty 
 
 thou hast upon him set. 
 
 6 'Because that thou for evermore 
 most blessed hast him made: 
 And thou hast with thy countenance 
 made him exceeding glad. 
 
 7 Because the kinir upon the Lord 
 
 his confidence doth lay ; 
 And through the grace of the Most High, 
 shall not be mov'd away. 
 
 8 Thine hand shall all those men find out 
 
 that en'mies are to thee; 
 Even thy right hand shalt find out those 
 of thee that hater 1 - be 
 
 9 Like fiery ov'n thou shalt them make, 
 when kindled is thine ire: 
 God shall them swallow in his wrath, 
 devour them shall the fire.

 12 Thou therefore shalt make them turn 
 
 back, 
 when thou thy shafts shalt. place 
 Upon thy strings, made ready all 
 to fly against their face.

 PSALM 22. 
 
 5 When unto thee they sent their cry, 
 
 to them deliv'rance came : 
 Because they put their trust in thee, 
 they were not put to shame. 
 
 6 But as for me, a worm I am, 
 
 and u no man am pri/Al: 
 Reproach of men I am, and by 
 the people am despised. 
 
 7 All that me see, laugh me to scorn : 
 
 shoot out the lip do they ; 
 They nod and shake their heads at me, 
 and, mocking, thus do say: 
 
 8 This man did trust in God, that he 
 
 would free him by his might : 
 Let him deliver him, since he 
 had in him such delight. 
 
 9 But thou art he out of the womb 
 
 that didst me safely take; 
 When 1 was on my mother's breasts 
 thou me to hope didst make. 
 
 10 And I was cast upon thy care, 
 
 ev'n from the womb till now; 
 And from my mother's belly, Lord, 
 my God and guide art thou. 
 
 11 Be not far off, for grief is near, 
 
 and none to help is found. 
 
 12 Bulls many compass me ; strong bulls 
 
 of Bashan me surround. 
 
 13 Their mouths they opened wide on me, 
 
 upon me gape did they, 
 Like to a lion ravening, 
 and roaring for his prey. 
 
 14 Like water I'm poured out, my bones 
 
 all out of joint do part : 
 Amidst my bowels, as the wax, 
 so melted is my heart. 
 
 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried; 
 
 my tongue it cleaveth fast 
 Unto my jaws; and to the dust 
 of death thou brought me hast. 
 
 16 For dogs have comprised me about, 
 
 the wicked, that did meet 
 In their assembly, me enclosed: 
 they pierc'd my hands and feet. 
 
 17 I all my bones may tell; they do 
 
 upon mc- look and >1arr. 
 
 18 Upon my vesture lots they cast, 
 
 and clothes among them share. 
 
 19 But he not far, O Lord, my strength, 
 
 haste to give help to me. 
 
 20 From sword my soul, from power of dogs, 
 
 my darling set thou free. 
 
 21 Out of thy roaring lion's mouth 
 
 do thou me shield and save: 
 For from the horns of unicorns 
 an ear to me thou gave. 
 
 22 I will show forth thy name unto 
 
 those that my brethren are; 
 Amidst the congregation 
 thy praise I will declare. 
 
 23 Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear; 
 
 him glorify, all ye 
 The seed of Jacob: fear him, all 
 that Israel's children be, 
 
 24 For he despised not, nor abhorr'd 
 
 th' afflicted's misery; 
 Nor from him hid his face, but heard 
 when he to him did cry. 
 
 25 Within the congregation great 
 
 my praise shall be of thee: 
 My vows, before them that him fear, 
 shall be performed by me. 
 
 26 The meek shall eat, and shall be filled; 
 
 they also praise shall give 
 Unto the Lord that do him seek; 
 your heart shall ever live. 
 
 27 All ends of the earth remember shall, 
 
 and turn the Lord unto; 
 
 All kindreds of the nations 
 
 to him shall homage do. 
 
 28 Because the kingdom to the Lord 
 
 doth appertain as his; 
 Likewise among the nations 
 the Governor he is. 
 
 29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall : 
 
 all who to dust descend 
 Shall bow to him; none of them can 
 his soul from death defend. 
 
 30 A seed shall service do to him ; 
 
 unto the Lord it shall 
 Be for a generation 
 reckoned in ages all. 
 
 31 They shall come, and they shall declare 
 
 his truth and righteousness 
 Unto a people yet unborn, 
 and that he hath done this.

 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want. 
 
 2 He makes me down to lie 
 
 In pastures green: he leadeth me 
 the quiet waters by. 
 
 3 My soul he doth restore again ; 
 
 and me to walk doth make 
 Within the paths of righteousness, 
 even for his own name's sake. 
 
 4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, 
 
 yet will I fear none ill: 
 For thou art with me, and thy rod 
 and staff me comfort still. 
 
 5 My table thou hast furnished 
 
 in presence of my foes: 
 My head thou dost with oil anoint, 
 and my cup overflows. 
 
 6 Goodness and mercy all my life 
 shall surely follow me; 
 And in God's house for evermore 
 my dwelling-place shall be.

 My Cod, let me not he asham'd, 
 nor foes triumph o'er me.

 But those that without cause transgrest, 
 let shame upon them fall. 
 
PSALM 25. 
 
 25 
 
 4 Show ine thy ways, O Lord ; 
 
 thy paths, O teach thou me: 
 
 5 And do thou lead me in thy truth, 
 
 therein n:y teacher he: 
 
 For thou art God that dost 
 
 to me salvation send, 
 And I upo#i thee all tiie day, 
 
 expecting do attend. 
 
 6 Thy tender mercies, Lord, 
 
 I pray thee to remember, 
 
 And loving-kindness; for they 
 
 have been of old forever. 
 
 7 My sins and faults of youth, 
 
 do thou, O Lord, forget; 
 After thy mercy think on me, 
 and for thy goodness great. 
 
 8 God good and upright is: 
 
 the way he'll sinners show. 
 
 9 The meek in judgment he will guide, 
 
 and make his path to know. 
 
 10 The whole paths of the Lord 
 
 are truth and mercy sure, 
 To those that do his cov'nant keep, 
 and testimonies pure. 
 
 11 Now, for thine own name's sake, 
 
 O Lord, I thee entreat 
 To pardon mine iniquity; 
 for it is very great. 
 
 12 What man is he that fears 
 
 the Lord, and doth him serve? 
 
 Him shall he teach the way that he 
 
 shall choose and still observe. 
 
 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; 
 
 and his posterity 
 Shall flourish still, and of the earth 
 inheritors shall be. 
 
 14 With those that fear him, is 
 
 the secret of the Lord : 
 The knowledge of his covenant 
 he will to them afford. 
 
 15 Mine eyes upon the Lord 
 
 continually are set: 
 For he it is that shall bring forth 
 my feet out of the net. 
 
 16 Turn unto me thy face, 
 
 and to me mercy show; 
 
 Because that 1 amdesolate, 
 
 and am brought very low. 
 
 17 My heart's griefs are increased; 
 
 me from distress relieve. 
 
 ]S See mine affliction and my pain, 
 and all my sins forgive. 
 
 19 Consider thou my foes, 
 
 because they many are, 
 And it a cruel hatred is 
 
 which they against me bear. 
 
 20 O do thou keep my soul, 
 
 do thou deliver me; 
 And let me never be ashamed, 
 because I trust in thee. 
 
 21 Let uprightness and truth 
 
 keep me, who thee attend. 
 
 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel 
 
 from all his troubles send. 
 
 SECOND VERSION. 
 
 1 To thee I lift my soul, O Lord. 
 
 2 My God, I trust in thee: 
 
 Let me not be ashamed; let not 
 my foes triumph o'er me. 
 
 3 Yea, let thou none ashamed be 
 
 that do on thee attend; 
 Ashamed let them be, O Lord, 
 who without cause offend. 
 
 4 Thy ways, Lord, show, teach me thy 
 
 paths. 
 
 5 Lead me in truth, teach me; 
 For of my safety thou art God; 
 
 all day I wait on thee. 
 
 6 Thy mercies, that most tender are, 
 
 do thou, O Lord, remember, 
 
 And loving-kindnesses; for they 
 
 have been of old forever. 
 
 7 Let not the errors of my youth, 
 
 nor sins remembered be: 
 In mercy, for thy goodness' sake, 
 O Lord, remember me. 
 
 8 The Lord is good and gracious, 
 
 he upright .is also: 
 He therefore sinners will instruct 
 in ways that they should go. 
 
 9 The meek and lowly he will guide 
 
 in judgment just alway: 
 To meek and poor afflicted ones 
 he'll clearly teach his way. 
 
 10 The whole paths of the Lord our God 
 are truth and mercy sure, 
 To such as keep his covenant 
 and testimonies pure. 
 
26 
 
 PSALMS 25—26. 
 
 11 Now, for thine own name's sake, O Lord 
 
 1 humbly thee entreat 
 To pardon mine iniquity; 
 for it is very great. 
 
 12 What man fears God? him shall he teach 
 
 the way that he shall choose. 
 
 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed 
 
 the earth, as heirs, shall use. 
 
 14 The secret of the Lord is with 
 
 such as do fear his name; 
 And he his holy covenant 
 will manifest to them. 
 
 15 Toward the Lord my waiting eyes 
 
 continually are set; 
 For he it is "that shall bring forth 
 my feet out of the net. 
 
 16 O turn thee unto me, O God, 
 
 have mercy me upon; 
 
 Because I solitary am, 
 and in affliction. 
 
 17 Enlarg'd the griefs are of mine heart: 
 
 me from distress relieve. 
 
 18 See mine affliction and my pain, 
 
 and all my sins forgive. 
 
 19 Consider thou mine enemies, 
 
 because they many arc, 
 And it a cruel hatred is 
 
 which they against me bear. 
 
 20 O do thou keep my soul, O God. 
 
 do thou deliver me: 
 Let me not be ashamed; for I 
 do put my trust in thee. 
 
 21 O let integrity and truth 
 
 keep me, who thee attend. 
 
 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel, 
 
 from all his troubles send.

 Psalm XXVI, 
 
 1 Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk'd 
 in mine integrity: 
 
 I trusted also in the Lord; 
 •lide, therefore, shall not I. 
 
PSALM 27. 
 
 27 
 
 2 Examine me, and do me prove; 
 
 try heart and reins, O God: 
 
 3 For thy love is before mine eyes, 
 
 thy truth's paths I have trod. 
 
 4 With persons vain I have not sat, 
 
 nor with dissemblers gone. 
 
 5 Th' assembly of ill men I hate; 
 
 to sit with such I slum. 
 
 6 Mine hands in innocence, O Lord, 
 
 I'll wash and purify; 
 
 So to thine holy altar go, 
 
 and compass it will I. 
 
 7 That I with voice of thanksgiving, 
 
 may publish and declare, 
 And tell of all thy mighty works, 
 that great and wondrous are. 
 
 8 The habitation of thy house, 
 
 Lord, I have lovpd well ; 
 Yea, in that place I do delight 
 where doth thine honor dwell. 
 
 9 With sinners gather not my soul, 
 
 and such as blood would spill: 
 10 Whose hands mischievous plots, right 
 hand 
 corrupting bribes do fill. 
 
 It But as for me, I will walk on 
 in mine integrity: 
 Do thou redeem me, and, O Lord, 
 be merciful to me. 
 
 12 My foot upon an even place 
 
 doth stand with steadfastness: 
 Within the congregations 
 th' Eternal I will bless. 
 
 Psalm XXVII. 
 
 1 The Lord's my light and saving health, 
 
 who shall make me dismayed? 
 My life's strength is the Lord; of whom 
 then shall I be afraid? 
 
 2 When as mine enemies and foes, 
 
 mosj wicked persons all, 
 To eat my flesh against me rose, 
 they stumbled and did fall. 
 
 3 Against me though an host encamp, 
 
 my heart yet fearless is: 
 Though war' against me rise, I will 
 be confident in this. 
 
 4 One thing I of the Lord desired, 
 
 and will seek to obtain, 
 That all days of my life I may 
 within God's house remain ; 
 
 That I the beauty of the Lord 
 
 behold may, and admire, 
 And that I in his holy place 
 
 may rev'rently inquire. 
 
 5 For he in his pavilion shall 
 
 me hide in evil days; 
 In secret of his tent me hide, 
 and on a rock me raise. 
 
 6 And now, even at this present time, 
 
 mine head shall lifted be 
 Above all those that are my foes, 
 and round encompass me: 
 
 Therefore, unto his tabernacle 
 
 I'll sacrifices bring 
 Of joyfulness; I'll sing, yea, I 
 
 to God will praises sing. 
 
 7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice, 
 
 when I do cry to thee; 
 
 Upon me also mercy have, 
 
 and do thou answer me. 
 
 8 When thou didst say, seek ye my face} 
 
 then unto thee reply 
 Thus did my heart, Above all things 
 thy face, Lord, seek will I. 
 
 9 Far from me hide not thou thy face ; 
 
 put not away from thee 
 Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast 
 an helper been to me ; 
 
 O God of my salvation 
 
 leave me not, nor forsake. 
 
 10 Though me my parents both should 
 
 leave, 
 the Lord will me uptake. 
 
 11 O Lord, instruct me in thy way, 
 
 to me a leader be 
 In a plain path, because of those 
 that hatred bear to me. 
 
 12 Give me not to mine en'mies* will ; 
 
 for witnesses that lie 
 Against me risen are, and such 
 as breathe out cruelty. 
 
 13 I fainted had, unless that I 
 
 believed had to see 
 The Lord's own goodness in the land 
 of them that living be. 
 
 14 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong, 
 
 and he shall strength afford 
 Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait, 
 I say, upon the Lord.

 Psalm XXVIII. 
 
 1 To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock; 
 
 hold not thy peace to me; 
 Lest like those that to pit descend, 
 I by thy silence be. 
 
 2 The voice hear of my humble prayers, 
 
 when unto thee ! 
 When to thy holy oracle 
 I lift my hands on high. 
 
 3 With ill men draw me not away, 
 
 that work in: 
 That speak peace to their friends, while in 
 their hearts doth mischief lie. 
 
 4 Give them according to their deeds, 
 
 and ills endeavored: 
 And, as their handy-works deserve, 
 to them be rendered. 
 
 5 God shall not build, but them destroy, 
 
 who would not understand 
 
 The Lord's own works, nor did regard 
 the doing of his hand. 
 
 6 For ever blessed be the Lord, 
 
 for graciously he heard 
 
 The voice of my petitions, 
 
 and prayers did regard. 
 
 7 The Lord's my strength and shield; my 
 heart 
 upon him did rely, 
 And 1 am helped: hence my heart 
 doth joy exceedingly; 
 
 And with my *ong I will him praise. 
 
 8 Their strength is God alone; 
 He also is the saving strength 
 
 of his anointed One. 
 
 9 O thine own people do thou save, 
 
 bless thine inheritance; 
 Them also do thou feed, and them 
 for evermore advance.

 Psalm XXIX. 
 
 1 Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons 
 
 that of the mighty be, 
 All strength and glory to the Lord 
 with cheerfulness give ye. 
 
 2 Unto the Lord the glory give 
 
 that to his name is due ; 
 And in the beauty of holiness 
 unto Jehovah bow. 
 
 3 The Lord's voice on the waters is: 
 
 the God of majesty 
 Doth thunder, and on multitudes 
 of waters sitteth he. 
 
 4 A pow'rful voice it is that comes 
 
 out from the Lord most high; 
 The voice of that great Lord is full 
 of glorious majesty. 
 
 5 The voice of the Eternal doth 
 
 asunder cedars tear : 
 Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break 
 that Lebanon doth bear. 
 
 6 He makes them like a calf to skip; 
 
 ev'n that great Lebanon. 
 And, like to a young unicorn, 
 the mountain Sirion. 
 
 7 God's voice divides the flames of fire ; 
 
 8 The desert it doth shake: 
 
 The Lord doth make the wilderness 
 of Kadesh all to quake. 
 
 9 God's voice doth make the hinds to calve 
 
 it makes the forests bare: 
 And in his temple ev'ry one 
 his glory doth declare. 
 
 10 The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord 
 
 sits King, and ever shall. 
 
 11 The Lord will give his people strength, 
 
 and with peace bless them all. 
 
 Psalm XXX. 
 
 1 Lord, I will thee extol, for thou 
 hast lifted me on high, 
 
 And over me thou to rejoice 
 mad'st not mine enemy. 
 
 2 O thou who art the Lord my God, 
 
 1 in distress to thee 
 With loud cries lifted up my voice, 
 and thou hast healed me. 
 
 3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up, 
 
 and rescued from the grave; 
 That I to pit should not go down, 
 alive thou didst me save. 
 
 4 O ye that are his holy ones, 
 
 sing praise unto the Lord: 
 And give unto him thanks, when ye 
 his holiness record. 
 
 5 For but a moment lasts his wrath; 
 
 life in his favor lies: 
 Weeping may for a night endure, 
 at morn doth joy arise. 
 
 6 In my prosperity I said, 
 
 that nothing shall me move. 
 
 7 O Lord, thou hast my mountain made 
 
 to stand strong by thy love: 
 
 But when that thou, O gracious God, 
 didst hide thy face from me, 
 
 Then quickly was my prosp'rous state- 
 turned into misery. 
 
 8 Wherefore unto the Lord my cry 
 
 I caused to ascend; 
 My humble supplication 
 I to the Lord did send. 
 
 9 What profit is there in my blood, 
 
 when [ go down to pit? 
 Shall unto thee the dust give praise? 
 thy truth declare shall it? 
 
 10 Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord. 
 
 11 Thou turned hast my sadness 
 
 To dancing: yea, my sackcloth loos'd 
 and girded me with gladness: 
 
 12 That sing thy praise my glory may, 
 
 and never silent be: 
 O Lord, my God, for evermore 
 1 wiil give thanks to thee.

 Psalm XXXI. 
 
 1 In thee, O Lord, I put my trust, 
 
 sham'd let me never be: 
 According to thy righteousness, 
 do thou deliver me. 
 
 2 Bow down thine ear to me, with speed 
 
 send me deliverance: 
 To save me, my strong rock be thou, 
 and my house of defense. 
 
 3 Because thou art my rock, and thee 
 
 I for my fortress take; 
 Therefore do thou me lead and guide, 
 ev'n for thine own name's sake. 
 
 4 And since thou art my strength, therefore 
 
 pull me out of the net, 
 Which they in suhtilty for me 
 so privily have set. 
 
 5 Into thine hands I do commit 
 
 my spirit: for thou art he, 
 
 O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth, 
 that hast redeemed me. 
 
 6 Those that do lying vanities 
 
 regard, I have abhorr'd: 
 But as for me my confidence 
 is fixed on the Lord. 
 
 7 I'll in thy mercy gladly joy: 
 
 for thou my miseries 
 Considered hast; thou hast my soul 
 known in adversities: 
 
 8 And thou hast not enclosed me 
 
 within the en'my's hand; 
 And by thee have my feet been made 
 in a large room to stand. 
 
 9 O Lord, upon mc mercy have, 
 
 for trouble is on me: 
 Mine eye, my belly, and my soul, 
 with grief consumed be. 
 
PSALMS 31—32. 
 
 31 
 
 10 Because my life ipent, 
 
 in v years with sighs and groans: 
 My strength doth kail; and for my sin 
 consumed are my bones. 
 
 [1 I was a scorn to all my foes, 
 and to my friends a tear; 
 And 'specially reproached of those 
 that were my neighbors near: 
 
 When they me >;aw they from me fled. 
 
 12 Ev'n so 1 am forgot. 
 
 As men are out o\' mind when dead: 
 I'm like a broken pot. 
 
 13 For sianders 1 of many heard; 
 
 fear compass'd me, while they 
 Against me did consult, and plot 
 to take my life away, 
 
 14 But as for me. Lord, my trust, 
 
 upon thee 1 did lay; 
 And I to thee, Thou art my God, 
 did confidently say. 
 
 15 My times are wholly in thine hand; 
 
 do thou deliver me 
 From t.heir hand , that mine enemies 
 and persecutors be. 
 
 16 Thy countenance to shine do thou 
 
 upon thy servant make; 
 Unto me give salvation, 
 for thy great mercies' sake. 
 
 17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord, 
 
 for on thee called I have: 
 Let wicked men be shamed, let them 
 he silent in the grave. 
 
 18 To silence put thy lying lips, 
 
 that grievous tilings do say, 
 And hard reports, in pride and scorn, 
 on righteous men do lay. 
 
 19 How great's the goodness thou for them j 
 
 that fear thee keep'st in store; 
 And wrought'st for them that trust in 
 thee 
 the sons of men before ! 
 
 20 In secret of thy presence, thou 
 
 shalt hide them from man's pride: 
 From strife of tongues thou closely shalt, 
 as in a tent them hide. 
 
 21 All praise and thanks be to the Lord 
 
 for he hath magnified 
 His wondrous love to me, within 
 a city, fortified. 
 
 22 For from thine eyes cut ofY I am, 
 
 I in my haste had said : 
 My voice yet heardest thou, when to 
 thee 
 with cries my moan 1 made. 
 
 23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints; 
 
 because the Lord doth guard 
 The faithful, and he plenteously 
 proud doers doth reward. 
 
 24 Be of good courage, ami he strength ■ 
 
 unto your hearts shall send, 
 All yo whose hope and confidence 
 doth on the Lord depend. 
 
 Psalm XXXII. 
 
 1 O Blessed is the man, to whom 
 
 is freely pardoned 
 All the transgressions he hath done, 
 whose sin is covered. 
 
 2 Bless'd is the man to whom the Lord 
 
 imputeth not his sin, 
 And in whose sp'rit there is no guile, 
 nor fraud is found therein. 
 
 3 When as I did refrain my speech, 
 
 and silent was my tongue, 
 My bones then waxed old, because 
 1 roared all day long. 
 
 4 For upon me both day and night 
 
 thine hand did heavy lie, 
 So that my moisture turned is 
 to summer's drought thereby, 
 
 5 I thereupon have unto thee 
 
 my sin acknowledged, 
 And likewise mine iniquity 
 I have not covered: 
 
 1 will confess unto the Lord 
 
 my trespasses, said I. 
 And of my sin thou freely didst 
 
 forgive th' iniquity. 
 
 6 For this shall every godly one 
 
 his prayer make to thee; 
 In such a time he shall thee seek, 
 as found thou may est be. 
 
 Surely, when floods of waters great 
 
 do swell up to the brim, 
 They shall not overwhelm his soul, 
 
 nor once come near to him. 
 
 7 Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt 
 
 from trouble keep me free: 
 Thou, with songs of deliverance, 
 about shalt compass me. 
 
PSALM 33. 
 
 8 1 will instruct thee, and thee teach 
 
 the way that thou shah ::<>: 
 And, with mine eye upon thee set, 
 I will direction show. 
 
 9 Then he not like the horse or mule, 
 
 which do not understand; 
 
 Whose mouth, lest they come near to 
 thee, 
 a bridle must command. 
 
 10 Unto the man that wicked is, 
 
 oil sorrow^ -hall ahound; 
 But him that trusteth in the Lord 
 mercy shall compass round. 
 
 11 Ye righteous, in the Lord be glad, 
 
 in him do ye rejoice: 
 All ye that upright are in heart, 
 for joy Hit up your voice.

 PSALM. XXXIII. 
 
 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejojee: 
 
 It comely is and right, 
 That upright men, with thankful voice, 
 should praise the Lord of might. 
 
 2 Praise God with harp; and unto him 
 
 sing with the psaltery; 
 Upon a ten string'd instrument 
 make ye sweet melody. 
 
 3 A new song to him sing, and play 
 
 with loud noise skillfully: 
 
 4 For right is God's word, all his works 
 
 are done in verity. 
 
 5 To judgment and to righteousness 
 
 a love he beareth still: 
 
 The loving-kindness of the Lord 
 the earth throughout doth fill. 
 
 6 The heavens by the word of God 
 
 did their beginning take; 
 And, by the breathing of his mouth, 
 he all their hosts did make. 
 
 7 The waters of the seas he brings 
 
 together as an heap; 
 And in store-houses, as it were, 
 he layeth up the deep. 
 
 8 Let earth, and all that live therein, 
 
 with rev'rence fear the Lord; 
 Let all the world's inhabitants 
 dread him with one accord. 
 
84 
 
 PSALMS 33—34. 
 
 9 For he did speak the word, and done 
 it was without delay; 
 Established, it firmly stood 
 whatever he did lay. 
 
 10 God doth the counsel briu£ to naught 
 
 which heathen folk do take; 
 And what the people do devise 
 of none effect doth i 
 
 11 O ! bet the counsel of the Lord 
 
 doth stand for ever sure ; 
 
 And of Ins heart the purposes 
 
 from age to age endure. 
 
 12 That nation blessed i>, whose God 
 
 JEHOVAH is, and those 
 A blessed people are, whom lor 
 his heritage he chose. 
 
 13 The Lord from heav'n sees and beholds 
 
 all sons of men full well; 
 
 14 He views all from his dwelling-place, 
 
 that in the earth do dwell. 
 
 15 He forms their hearts alike, and all 
 
 their doings he observes. 
 
 16 Great hosts save not a king, much 
 
 strength 
 no mighty man preserves. 
 
 17 A horse for preservation 
 
 is a deceitful thing; 
 Add, by the greatness of his strength, 
 can no deliv'ranee bring. 
 
 18 Behold, on those that do him iear 
 
 the Lord doth set his eye; 
 LVn those who on his mercy do 
 with confidence relv. 
 
 19 From death to free their soul, in dearth 
 
 lite unto them to yield. 
 
 20 Our soul doth wait upon the Lord; 
 
 he is our help and shield. 
 
 21 Since in his holy name we trust, 
 
 our heart shall joyful be. 
 
 22 Lord, let thy mercy be on us, 
 
 as we do hope in thee. 
 
 fou* XXXIV. 
 
 1 God will I bless all times; his praise 
 
 my mouth shall still express. 
 
 2 My soul shall boast in God: the meek 
 
 shall hear with joyfulness. 
 
 3 Extol the Lord with me, let us 
 
 exalt bil name together. 
 
 4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did 
 
 me from all fears deliver. 
 
 5 They look'd to him, and light'ned were; 
 
 not shamed were their faces. 
 
 6 This poor man cried, God heard, and 
 
 sav'd 
 him from all his distresses. 
 
 7 The angel of the Lord encamps, 
 
 and round encompassetn 
 
 All tho>e about that him do fear, 
 and them delivereth. 
 
 8 O taste and see that God is good ! 
 
 who trusts in him is bless'd. 
 
 9 Fear God his saints: none that him 
 
 fear 
 shall be with want oppress'd. 
 
 10 The lions' young may hungry be, 
 
 and they may lack their food : 
 But they that truly seek the Lord, 
 shall not lack any good. 
 
 1 1 children, hither Ao ye come, 
 
 and unto me fire ear; 
 I shall you teach to understand 
 how ye the Lord should fear. 
 
 12 Wh-it man is he that life desires, 
 
 to see ;:ood would live long? 
 
 13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile, 
 
 and from ill words thy tongue. 
 
 14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peaee, 
 
 pursue it earnestly. 
 
 15 God's eyes are on the just; his ears 
 
 are open to their cry. 
 
 16 The face of God is set against 
 
 those that do wickedly; 
 That he may quite out from the earth 
 cut off their memory. 
 
 17 The righteous cry unto the Lord, 
 
 he unto them gives ear; 
 And they out of their troubles all 
 by him delivered are. 
 
 18 The Lord is ever nigh to them 
 
 that be of broken sp'rit; 
 
 To them In- safety doth afibrd 
 that are in heart contrite. 
 
 19 The trouble* that afflict the just, 
 
 in number many be; 
 But yet at length out of them all, 
 the Lord doth set him free. 
 
PSALM 35. 
 
 35 
 
 20 He carefully his bones doth keep, 
 whatever can befall; 
 That not so much as one of them 
 can broken be at all. 
 
 21 111 shall the wicked slay; laid waste 
 
 shall be who hate the just. 
 
 22 The Lord redeems his servant's souls; 
 
 none perish that him trust.

 PSALM XXXV. 
 
 1 Pl£ad, Lord, with those that plead; and 
 
 fight 
 with those that fight with me. 
 
 2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold, 
 
 stand up mine help to be. 
 
 3 Draw also out the spear, and do 
 
 against them stop the way 
 That me pursue: unto my soul, 
 I'm thy salvation, say. 
 
 4 Let them confounded be, and sham'd, 
 
 that for my soul have souebt: 
 Who plot my hurt,turn'd back be they 
 and to confusion brought. 
 
 5 Let them be like unto the chaff 
 
 that flies before the wind; 
 
 And let the angel of the Lord 
 
 pursue them hard behind. 
 
 6 With darkness cover thou their way, 
 
 and let it slippery prove; 
 
 And lot the angel of the Lord 
 
 pursue them from above. 
 
 7 For without ^ause have they for me 
 
 Their net hid in a pit; 
 They also have without a cause 
 for my soul digged it. 
 
 8 Let ruin seize him unawares; 
 
 his net. he hid withal 
 Himself let caf;h; and in the same 
 destruction let him fall. 
 
 9 My soul in God shall joy; and glad 
 
 [n hit ah ation be: 
 
 \0 And all my bones shall say, O Lord, 
 m lik') unto thee, 
 
 Which dost the poor set free from him 
 
 that is for him too strong, 
 The poor and needy from the man 
 
 that spoils and does him wrong? 
 
 11 False witnesses rose; to my charge 
 
 things I not knew they laid. 
 
 12 They to the spoiling of my soul, 
 
 me ill for good repaid. 
 
 13 But as for me, when they were sick, 
 
 in sackloth sad I mourn'd: 
 My humbled soul did fast; my pray'r 
 into my bosom turn'd. 
 
 14 Myself I did behave as he 
 
 had been my friend or brother: 
 I heavily bowed down, as one 
 that mourneth foiMiis mother. 
 
 15 But in my trouble they rejoic'd, 
 
 gathering themselves together: 
 Yea, abjects vile together did 
 themselves against me gathpr, 
 
 I knew it not; they did me tear, 
 and quiet would not be. 
 
 16 With mocking hypocrites at feasts 
 
 they gnash'd their teeth at me. 
 
 17 How long, Lord, look'st thou on? from 
 
 those 
 destructions thev intend 
 Rescue my soul, from lions young 
 my darlingdo defend. 
 
 18 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, 
 within tir assembly jjreat; 
 And where much people gather'd are, 
 thy praises forth will set. 
 
PSALMS 35—36—37—38. 
 
 37 
 
 19 Let not my wrongful enemies 
 
 proudly rejoice o'er me; 
 Nor who me ha'.e without a cause, 
 let them wink with the eye. 
 
 20 For peace they do not speak at all. 
 
 but crafty plots prepare 
 Against all those within the land 
 that meek and quiet are. 
 
 21 With mouths set wide, they 'gainst me 
 
 said, 
 Ha ! ha ! our eye doth see. 
 
 22 Lord, thou hast seen, hold not thy peace: 
 
 Lord be not far from me. 
 
 23 Stir up thyself; wake, that thou may'st 
 
 judgment to me afford, 
 Ev'n to my cause, O thou that art 
 my only God and Lord. 
 
 24 O Lord my God, do thou me judge 
 
 after thy righteousness; 
 
 And let them not their joy 'gainst me 
 triumphantly express: 
 
 Nor let them say within their hearts, 
 Ah, we would have it thus: 
 
 25 Nor suffer them to say, That he 
 
 is swallowM up by us. 
 
 26 Sham'd and confounded be they all, 
 
 that at my hurt are glad; 
 Let those against me that do boast, 
 with shame and scorn be clad. 
 
 27 Let them that love my righteous cause 
 
 be glad, shout, and not cease 
 
 To say, the Lord be magnified, 
 
 who loves his servant's peace. 
 
 28 Thy righteousness shall also be 
 
 declared by my tongue; 
 The praises that belong to thee, 
 speak shall it all day long.

 Psalm XXXVI. 
 
 1 The wicked man's transgression, 
 
 within my heart thus sa)'S, 
 Undoubtedly the fear of God 
 is not before his eyes. 
 
 2 Because himself he flattereth 
 
 in his own blinded eye, 
 Until the hatefulness be found 
 of his iniquity. 
 
 3 Words from his month proceeding are 
 
 fraud and iniquity: 
 He to be wise, and to do good, 
 hath left off utterly. 
 
 4 He mischief, lying on hi* bed, 
 
 most cunningly doth plot- 
 He sets himself in ways not good, 
 ill he abhorreth not. 
 
 5 Thy mercy, J,or<J, is in the heav'ns, 
 
 thy truth doth reach the clouds. 
 
 6 Thy justice is like mountains great, 
 
 thy judgments deep as floods: 
 
 Lord, thou preserve.-t man ami beast. 
 
 7 How precious is thy prace ! 
 Therefore in shadow of thy wings 
 
 men's sons their trust shall place. 
 
 8 They with the fatness of thy house 
 
 shall be well satisfied; 
 From riven of thy pleasures thou 
 wilt drink to them provide. 
 
 9 Because of life the fountain pure 
 
 remains alone with thee; 
 And in thai purest light of thine 
 we clearly light shall see. 
 
 10 Thy loving-kindness unto them 
 
 continue that thee know: 
 And still on men upright in heart 
 thy righteousness bestow. 
 
 1 1 Let not the foot of cruel pride 
 
 come and against me stand; 
 And let me not removed be, 
 Lord, by the wicked's hand. 
 
 12 There fall'n are they, and ruined, 
 that work iniquities: 
 Cast down they are and never shall 
 be able to arise. 
 
 Psalm XXXVII. 
 
 1 For evil-doers fret thou not 
 
 thyself unquietly; 
 Nor do thou envy bear to those 
 that work iniquity. 
 
 2 For, even like unto the grass, 
 
 soon be cut down shall they; 
 And like the green and tender herb 
 they wither shall away. 
 
 3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord, 
 
 and be thou doing pood; 
 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 light, he shall 
 
 thy righteousness display; 
 And he thy judgment shall bring forth 
 like noontide of the day. 
 
PSALM 37. 
 
 7 Rest in the Lord, and patiently 
 
 wait for him: do not tret 
 For him, who, prosp'ring in his way, 
 success in sin doth get. 
 
 8 Do thou from anger cease, and wrath 
 
 see thou forsake also: 
 Fret not thyself in any wise, 
 that evil thou should'st do. 
 
 9 For those that evil doers are 
 
 shall be cut off and fall: 
 But those that wait upon the Lord 
 the earth inherit shall. 
 
 10 For yet a little while, and then 
 
 the wicked shall not be; 
 His place thou shalt consider well, 
 but it thou shalt not see. 
 
 11 But, by inheritance, the earth 
 
 the meek ones shall possess; 
 They also shall delight themselves 
 in an abundant peace. 
 
 12 The wicked plots against the just, 
 
 and at him whets his teeth. 
 
 13 The Lord shall laugh at him, because 
 
 his day he coming seeth. 
 
 14 The wicked have' drawn out the sword, 
 
 and bent their bow to slay 
 The poor and needy, and to kill 
 men of an upright way. 
 
 15 But their own sword, which they have 
 
 drawn, 
 shall enter their own heart; 
 Their bows which they have bent shall 
 
 break, 
 and into pieces part. 
 
 16 A little that a just man hath 
 
 is more, and better far, 
 Than is the wealth of many such 
 as lewd and wicked are. 
 
 17 For sinners' arms shall broken be; 
 
 but God the just sustains. 
 
 18 God knows the just man's days, and still 
 
 their heritage remains. 
 
 19 They shall not be asham'd when they 
 
 the evil time do see; 
 And when the days of famine are, 
 they satisfied shall be. 
 
 20 But wicked men, and foes of God, 
 
 as fat of lambs decay; 
 They shall consume, yea, into smoke 
 they shall consume away. 
 
 21 The wicked borrows, but the same 
 
 again he doth not pay; 
 Whereas the righteous mercy shows, 
 and gives his own away. 
 
 22 For such as blessed be of him 
 
 the earth inherit shall; 
 And they that cursed are of him 
 shall be destroyed all. 
 
 23 A good man's footsteps, by the Lord 
 
 are ordered aright; 
 And in the way wherein he walks 
 he greatly doth delight. 
 
 24 Although he fall, yet shall he not 
 
 be cast down utterly; 
 Because the Lord with his own hand 
 upholds him mightily. 
 
 25 I have been young, and now am old; 
 
 yet have I never seen 
 The just man left, nor that his seed 
 for bread have beggars been. 
 
 26 He's ever merciful, and lends: 
 
 his seed is bless'd therefore. 
 
 27 Depart from evil, and do good, 
 
 and dwell for evermore. 
 
 2S For God loves judgment, and his saint! 
 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 The just man's mouth doth wisdom 
 
 speak; 
 his tongue doth judgment tell. 
 
 31 In 's heart the law is of his God, 
 
 his steps slide not away. 
 
 32 The wicked man doth watch the just, 
 
 and seeketh him to slay. 
 
 33 Yet him the Lord will not forsake, 
 
 nor leave him in his hands; 
 The righteous will he not condemn, 
 when he in judgment stands. 
 
 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, 
 
 and thee exalt shall he 
 Th* earth to inherit; when cut off 
 the wicked thou shalt see. 
 
 35 I saw the wicked great in pow'r, 
 
 spread like a green bay-tree: 
 
 36 He pass'd, yea, was not; him I sought, 
 
 but found he could not be. 
 
40 
 
 PSALM 38. 
 
 37 Mark thou the perfect, and behold 
 
 the man of nprighl 
 
 Because that surely of this man 
 the latter end is peace. 
 
 38 But those men that transgressors are, 
 
 shall be de sther: 
 
 The latter end of wicked men 
 
 shall be cut off forever. 
 
 39 But the salvation of the just 
 
 is from the Lord above; 
 He, in the time of their distress, 
 their stay and strength dotli prove. 
 
 40 The Lord shall help, and them deliver: 
 
 he shall them free and save 
 From wicked men; because in him 
 their confidence they have. 
 
 Psalm XXXVIII. 
 
 1 In thy great indignation, 
 
 Lord, rebuke me not; 
 
 Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand, 
 in thy displeasure hot. 
 
 2 For in me fast thine arrows stick, 
 
 thine hand doth press me sore: 
 
 3 And in my ilesh there is no health, 
 
 nor soundness any more. 
 
 This grief I have because thy ufcrath 
 
 is forth against me gone; 
 And in my bones there is no rest 
 
 for sin that I have done. 
 
 4 Because gone up above mine head 
 
 my great transgressions be; 
 And as a weighty burden, they 
 too heavy are for me, 
 
 5 My wounds do stink, and are corrupt; 
 
 my folly makes it so. 
 
 6 I troubled am, and much bow'd down; 
 
 All day I mourning go. 
 
 7 For a disease that loathsome is 
 
 so fills my loins with pain, 
 That in my weak and weary flesh 
 no soundness doth remain. 
 
 8 So feeble and infirm am I, 
 
 and broken am M sore; 
 That, throu'/h disquiet of my heart, 
 
 1 have been made to roar. 
 
 9 O Lord, all that [ do desire 
 
 i- still before thine eye; 
 And of my heart the secret groans 
 
 not hidden are from thee. 
 
 10 My heart doth pant incessantly, 
 
 my strength it doth decay: 
 As tor mine eyes, their wonted light 
 is from me gone away. 
 
 11 My lovers and my friends do stand 
 
 at distance from my sore; 
 And those do stand aloof that were 
 kinsmen and kind before. 
 
 12 Yea, they that seek my life lay snares: 
 
 who seek to do me wrong 
 Speak things mischievous, and deceits 
 imagine all day long. 
 
 13 But, as one deaf, that heareth not 
 
 I sufTer'd all to pass; 
 I as a dumb man did become, 
 whose mouth not open'd was. 
 
 14 As one that hears not, in whose mouth 
 
 are no reproofs at all. 
 
 15 For, Lord, I hope in thee; my God, 
 
 thou'lt hear me when I call. 
 
 10 For I said, Hear me, lest they should 
 
 rejoice o'er me with pride: 
 And o,er me magnify themselves, 
 when as my foot doth slide. 
 
 17 For I am near to halt, my grief 
 
 is still before mine eye: 
 
 18 For I'll declare my sin, and grieve 
 
 for mine iniquity. 
 
 19 But yet mine en'mies lively are, 
 
 and strong are they beside; 
 And they that hate me wrongfully 
 are greatly multiplied. 
 
 20 And they for good that render ill, 
 
 as en'mies me withstood; 
 Yea, ev'n fortius, because that I 
 do follow what is good. 
 
 21 Forsake me not, O Lord: my God, 
 
 far from me never be. 
 
 22 O Lord, thou my salvation art, 
 
 haste to give help to me.

 Psalm XXXIX. 
 
 1 I said, I will look to my ways, 
 
 lest with my tongue I sin: 
 In sight of wicked men my mouth 
 with bridle I'll keep in. 
 
 2 With silence I as dumb became; 
 
 I did myself restrain 
 From speaking good; but then the more 
 increased was my pain. 
 
 3 My heart within me waxed hot; 
 
 and while I musing was, 
 The fire did burn; and from my tongue 
 these words I did let pass: 
 
 4 Mine end and measure of my days, 
 
 O Lord, unto me show 
 What is the same; that I thereby 
 my frailty well may know. 
 
 5 Lo, thou my days an hand-breadth 
 
 mad'st, 
 mine age is in thine eye 
 
 As nothing : sure each man at best 
 is wholly vanity. 
 
 6 Sure each man walks in a vain show, 
 
 they vex themselves in vain; 
 He heaps up wealth, and doth not know 
 to whom it shall pertain. 
 
 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? 
 
 my hope is fix'd on thee. 
 
 8 Free me from all my trespasses; 
 
 the fool's scorn make not me. 
 
 9 Dumb was I, op'ning not my mouth, 
 
 because this work was thine. 
 
 10 Thy stroke take from me; by the blow 
 
 of thine hand do I pine. 
 
 11 When with rebukes thou dost correct 
 
 man for iniquity, 
 Thou wastes his beauty like a moth; 
 sure each man's vanity.

 I sojourn as my fathers all, 
 and stranger am with thee. 
 
 13 O spare thou me, that I my strength 
 recover may again, 
 Before from hence I do depart, 
 and here no more remain.

 1 I waited for the Lord my God, 
 
 and patiently did bear; 
 At length to me he did incline

 2 He took me from a fearful pit,

 And on a rock he set my feet, 
 establishing my way. 
 
 3 He put a new song in my mouth, 
 
 our God to magnify: 
 Many shall see it, and shall fear, 
 anil on the Lord rely. 
 
 4 O blessed is the man whose truit 
 
 upon the Lord relies; 
 Respecting not the proud,norsuch 
 as turn aside to lies. 
 
PSALMS 40—41.

 5 O Lord, my God, full many are 
 
 the wonders thou hast done; 
 Thy gracious thought* to us-ward far 
 above all thoughts are gone: 
 
 In order none can reckon them 
 
 to thee; if them declare, 
 And speak of them I would, they more 
 
 than can be numher'd are. 
 
 6 No sacrifice, nor offering, 
 
 didst thou at all desire; 
 Mine ears thou bor'd : sin off'ring thou 
 and hurnt didst not require. 
 
 7 Then to the Lord these were my words, 
 
 1 come; behold and see, 
 Within the volume of thy book 
 it written is of me; 
 
 8 To do thy will I take delight, 
 
 thou my God that art; 
 Yea, that most holy law of thine 
 
 1 have within my heart. 
 
 9 Within the congregation great 
 
 I righteonsness did preach : 
 Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I 
 refrained not my speech. 
 
 10 I never did within my heart 
 conceal thy righteousness; 
 I thy salvation have declar'd, 
 and shown thy faithfulness: 
 
 Thy kindness, which most loving is, 
 
 concealed have not I, 
 Nor from the congregation great 
 
 have hid thy verity. 
 
 1 Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me, 
 
 do thou not restrain; 
 
 Thy loving-kindness, and thy truth, 
 let them me still maintain. 
 
 12 For ills past reck'ning compass me, 
 
 and mine iniquities 
 Such hold upon me taken have, 
 
 1 cannot lift mine eyes : 
 
 They more than hairs are on mine head, 
 thence is my heart dismay'd. 
 
 13 Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me : 
 
 Lord, hasten to mine aid. 
 
 14 Sham'd and confounded be they all 
 
 that seek my soul to kill ; 
 Yea, let them backward driven be, 
 and sham'd, that wish me ill. 
 
 15 For a reward of this their shame, 
 
 confounded let them be, 
 
 That in this manner scoffing say, 
 Aha, aha ! to me. 
 
 16 In thee let all be glad, and joy, 
 
 who seeking thee abide : 
 Who thy salvation love, say still, 
 The Lord be magnified. 
 
 17 I'm poor and needy, yet the Lord 
 
 of me a care doth take: 
 Thou art my help and Saviour, 
 my God, no tarrying make. 
 
 Psalm XL1. 
 
 1 Blessed is he that wisely doth 
 
 the poor man's case consider; 
 For when the time of trouble is, 
 the Lord will him deliver. 
 
 2 God will him keep, yea, save alive ; 
 
 on earth he bless'd shall live; 
 And to his enemy's desire 
 thou wilt him not up give. 
 
 3^*od will give strength, when he on bed 
 of languishing doth mourn; 
 And in his sickness sore, O Lord, 
 thou all his bed wilt turn. 
 
 4 1 said, O Lord, do thou extend 
 
 thy mercy nnto me : 
 O do thou heal my soul; Because 
 1 have offended thee. 
 
 5 Those that to me are enemies 
 
 of me do evil say; 
 When shall he die, that so his name 
 may perish quite away? 
 
 6 To see me if he comes, he speaks 
 
 vain words; but then his heart 
 Heaps mischief to it, which he tells, 
 when forth he doth depart. 
 
 7 My haters, jointly whispering, 
 
 'gainst me my hurt, devise. 
 
 8 Mischief, say they, cleaves fast to him, 
 
 he lieth, and shall not rise. 
 
 9 Yea, ev'n mine own familiar friend, 
 
 on whom I did rely, 
 Who ate my bread, ev'n he his heel 
 against me lifted high. 
 
 10 But, Lord, be merciful to me, 
 
 and up again me raise, 
 That I may justly them requite 
 according to their ways. 
 
 11 By this I know that certainly 
 
 I favor' d am by thee, 
 
 Because my hateful enemy 
 
 triumphs not over me. 
 
44 
 
 PSALM 42. 
 
 12 But as for me thou me up 
 in mine integrity; 
 And me before thy countenance 
 thou sett'st continually. 
 
 13 The Lord, the Cod of Israel, 
 he hless'd forever then, 
 From ernally. 
 
 Amen, ye;;, and amen.

 Psalm XLII. 
 
 1 Like as the hart for water-brooks, 
 
 in thirst doth print and bray; 
 So pants my Longing M>nl| O God, 
 that come to thee I may. 
 
 2 My soul for God, the living God, 
 
 doth thirst : when shall 1 near 
 Unto thy countenance approach, 
 and in God's light appeaz ! 
 
 3 My tears have unto me been meat 
 
 both in the night and day, 
 
 While onto me continually, 
 
 where is thy God? they say. 
 
 4 My soul is poured out in me, 
 
 when this I think upon; 
 Because that with the multitude 
 I heretofore had pone : 
 
 With them into God's house I went, 
 with voice ofjoy and praise; 
 
 Yea, with the multitude that kept 
 the solemn holy days. 
 
 5 O why art thou east down, my soul? 
 
 why in nit 1 to ditmay'd ? 
 Trust God, for J shall praise him yet, 
 his count'nance is mine aid. 
 
PSALMS 42—43—44. 
 
 45 
 
 6 My God, my soul's cast down in me : 
 
 thee therefore mind 1 will, 
 From Jordan's land, the Hermonites, 
 and ev'n from Mizai hill. 
 
 7 At the noise of thy water-spouts, 
 
 deep unto deep doth call; 
 Thy breaking waves pass over me, 
 yea, and thy billows all. 
 
 8 His loving-kindness yet. the Lord 
 
 command will in the day; 
 His song's with me by night; to God, 
 by whom I live, I'll pray. 
 
 9 And I will say to God, my rock, 
 
 Why me forgett'st thou so? 
 Why, for ray foes' oppression 
 thus mourning do 1 go? 
 
 10 'Tis as a sword within my bones, 
 
 when my foes me upraid; 
 Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God? 
 'tis daily to be said. 
 
 11 O why art thou cast down, my soul? 
 
 why, thus with grief opprest, 
 Art thou disquieted in me? 
 in God still hope and rest : 
 
 12 For yet I know I shall him praise, 
 
 who graciously to me 
 The health is of my countenance; 
 yea, mine own God is he. 
 
 Psalm XLIII. 
 
 1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause 
 
 against th' ungodly nation : 
 From the unjust and crafty man, 
 O be thou my salvation. 
 
 2 For thou the God art of my strength; 
 
 why thrust'ts thou me thee fro'? 
 For th' enemy's oppression 
 why do I mourning go? 
 
 3 O send thy light forth, and thy truth, 
 
 let them be guides to me; 
 And bring me to thine holy hill, 
 ev'n where thy dwellings be. 
 
 4 Then will I to God's altar go, 
 
 to God my chiefest joy; 
 Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise 
 my harp I will employ. 
 
 5 Why art thou then cast down, my soul? 
 
 what should discourage thee? 
 And why with vexing thoughts art thou 
 disquieted in me? 
 
 C Still trust in God; for him to praise 
 good cause I yet shall have; 
 He of my count'nance is the health, 
 my God that doth me save. 
 
 Psalm XLIV. 
 
 1 O God, we with our ears have heard, 
 
 our fathers have us toid, 
 What works thou in their days hadst 
 done, 
 ev'n in the days of old. 
 
 2 Thy hand did drive the heathen out 
 
 and plant them in their placej 
 Thou did'st afflict the nations, 
 but them thou did'st increase. 
 
 3 For neither got their sword the land, 
 
 nor did their arm them save: 
 But thy right hand, arm, countenance; 
 for thou them favor gave. 
 
 4 Thou art my king; for Jacob, Lord, 
 
 deliv'rances command. 
 
 5 Through thee we shall push down our 
 
 foes 
 that do against us stand: 
 
 We, through thy name, shall tread down 
 those 
 that ris'n against us have. 
 
 6 For in my bow I shall not trust, 
 
 nor shall my sword me save. 
 
 7 But from our foes thou hast us sav'd, 
 
 our haters put to shame. 
 
 8 In God we all the day do boast, 
 
 and ever praise thy name. 
 
 9 But now we are cast off by thee, 
 
 and us thou putt'st to shame; 
 
 And when our armies do go forth, 
 
 thou go'st not with the same. 
 
 10 Thou mak'st us from the enemy, 
 
 faint-hearted to turn back; 
 And they who hate us, for themselves 
 our spoils away do take. 
 
 11 Like sheep for meat thou gavest us : 
 
 'mong heathen cast we be. 
 
 12 Thou didst for naught thy people sell, 
 
 their price enrich'd not thee. 
 
 13 Thou mak'st us a reproach to be 
 
 unto our neighbors near; 
 
 Derision and a scorn to them 
 
 that round about us are. 
 
46 
 
 PSALM 45. 
 
 14 A bye-word also thou dost us 
 
 among the heathen make; 
 The people, in contempt and spite, 
 at us their heads do shake. 
 
 15 Before me my contusion 
 
 continually ahides, 
 And of my hashful countenance 
 the shame me ever hides. 
 
 16 For voice of him that doth reproach, 
 
 and speaketh blasphemy; 
 By reason of th' avenging foe, 
 and cruel enemy. 
 
 17 All this is come on us, yet we 
 
 have not forgotten thee; 
 Nor falsely in thy covenant 
 behaved ourselves have we. 
 
 18 Back from thy way our heart not turn'd. 
 
 our steps no straying made: 
 
 19 Though us thon break'st in dragon's 
 
 place, 
 and cover'dst with death's shade. 
 
 20 If we God's name forgot, or stretch'd 
 
 to a strange God our hands : 
 
 21 Shall not God search this out? for he 
 
 heart's secrets understands. 
 
 22 Yea, for thy sake we're kill'd all day; 
 
 counted as slaughter-sheep. 
 
 23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off; 
 
 awake, why dost thou sleep? 
 
 24 O wherefore hidest thou thy face? 
 
 forgett'st our case distress'd, 
 
 25 And our oppression? For our soul 
 
 is to the dust down press'd : 
 
 Our belly also on the earth 
 fast cleaving, hold doth take. 
 
 26 Rise for our help, and us redeem, 
 
 ev'n for thy mercy's sake. 
 
 Psalm XLV. 
 
 1 My heart brings forth a goodly thing; 
 
 my words that I indite 
 Concern the King : my tongue's a pen 
 of one that swift doth write. 
 
 2 Thou fairer art than sons of men; 
 
 into thy lips is store 
 Of grace infus'd; God therefore thee 
 hath bless'd lor evermore. 
 
 3 O thou that art the mighty One, 
 
 thy sword gird on thy thigh: 
 Ev'n with thy glory excellent, 
 and with thy majesty. 
 
 4 For meekness, truth, and righteousness, 
 
 in state ride prosp'rously: 
 Anil thy right hand shall thee instruct 
 in things that fearful be. 
 
 5 Thine arrows sharply pierce the heart 
 
 of th' en'miesofthe King; 
 And under t^iy subjection 
 the people down do bring. 
 
 6 Forever and forever is, 
 
 O God, thy throne of might: 
 The scepter of thy kingdom is 
 a scepter that is right. 
 
 7 Thou lovest right, and hatest ill; 
 
 for God, thy God, most high, 
 Above thy fellows hath with th' oil 
 of joy anointed thee. 
 
 8 Of aloes, myrrh, and cassia, 
 
 a smell thy garments had, 
 Out of the iv'ry palaces, 
 
 whereby they made thee glad, 
 
 9 Among thy women honorable, 
 
 kings' daughters were at hand: 
 Upon thy right hand did the queen, 
 in gold of Ophir stand. 
 
 10 O daughter, hearken and regard, 
 
 and do thine ear incline: 
 Likewise forget thy father's house, 
 and people that are thine : 
 
 11 Then of the King desir'd shall be 
 
 thy beauty veh'mently: 
 Because he is thy Lord, do thou 
 him worship rev'rently. 
 
 12 The daughter there of Tyre shall be 
 
 with gifts and off'rings great; 
 Those of the people that are rich 
 thy favor shall entreat. 
 
 13 Behold, the daughter of the King 
 
 all glorious is within; 
 And with embroideries of gold 
 her garments wrought have been. 
 
 14 She shall be brought unto the King 
 
 in robes with needle wrought; 
 Her fellow virgins following, 
 shall unto thee be brought. 
 
 15 They shall be brought with gladness 
 
 great, 
 and mirth on ev'ry side, 
 Into the palace of the king, 
 and thero they shall abide. 
 
PSALM 45. 
 
 47 
 
 16 Instead of those thy fathers dear, 
 thy children thou may'st take, 
 And in all places of the earth 
 them noble princes make. 
 
 17 Thy name remember'd I will make, 
 through ages all to be: 
 The people, therefore, evermore 
 shall praises give to thee.

 1 My heart inditing is 
 
 good matter in a son?: 
 I speak the things that I have made, 
 which to the king belong: 
 
 My tongue shall be as quick, 
 
 his honor to indite, 
 As is the pen of any scribe 
 
 that useth fast to write. 
 
 2 Thou'rt fairest of all men; 
 
 grace in thy lips doth flow : 
 
 And blessings, therefore, evermore 
 on thee doth God bestow. 
 
 3 Thy sword gird on thy thigh, 
 
 thou that art most of might: 
 Appear in dreadful majesty, 
 and in thy glory bright. 
 
 4 For meekness, truth, and right, 
 
 ride prosp'rously in state; 
 And thy right hand shall teach to thee 
 things terrible and great. 
 
48 
 
 PSALM 45. 
 
 5 Thy shrifts shall pierce their hearts 
 
 that foes are to the king; 
 Wherehy into subjection 
 the peopie thou shalt bring. 
 
 6 Thy royal seat, O Lord, 
 
 forever .shall remain; 
 The scepter of thy kingdom doth 
 all righteousness maintain. 
 
 7 Thoulov'st right, and hat'st ill; 
 
 for God, thy God, most high, 
 Above thy fellows hath with th' oil 
 of joy anointed thee. 
 
 8 Of myrrh and spices sweet 
 
 a smell thy garments had, 
 Out of the iv'ry palaces 
 
 whereby they made thee glad. 
 
 9 And in thy glorious train 
 
 kings' daughters waiting stand ; 
 And thy fair queen, in Ophir gold, 
 doth stand at thy right hand. 
 
 10 O daughter, take good heed, 
 
 incline and give good ear; 
 Thou must forget thy kindred all, 
 and father's house most dear. 
 
 11 Thy beauty to the king 
 
 shall then delightful be; 
 
 And do thou humbly worship him, 
 because thy Lord is he. 
 
 12 The daughter then of Tyre 
 
 there with a gift shall be; 
 And all the wealthy of the land 
 shall make their "suit to thee. 
 
 13 The daughter of the king 
 
 all glorious is within; 
 And with embroideries of gold, 
 her garments wrought have been 
 
 14 She cometh to the king 
 
 in robes with needle wrought; 
 The virgins that do follow her 
 shall unto thee be brought. 
 
 15 They shall be brought with joy, 
 
 and mirth on ev'ry side, 
 Into thji palace of the king, 
 and there they shall abide. 
 
 16 And in thy fathers' stead, 
 
 thy children thou may'st take, 
 And in all places of the earth 
 them noble princes make. 
 
 17 I will show forth thy name 
 
 to generations all; 
 Therefore the people evermore 
 to thee give praises shall.

 Psalm XLVI. 
 
 1 God is our refuge and our strength, 
 
 in straits a present aid. 
 
 2 Therefore, although the earth remove, 
 
 we will not be afraid; 
 
 Though hills amidst the seas be cast: 
 
 3 Though waters roaring make, 
 And troubled be; yea, though the hills 
 
 by swelling seas do shake. 
 
 4 A river is, whose streams do glad 
 
 the city of our God; 
 The holy place wherein the Lord 
 most high hath his abode. 
 
 5 God in the midst of her doth dwell; 
 
 nothing shall her remove: 
 
 The Lord to her an helper will, 
 
 and that right early prove. 
 
 6 The heathen ra<rd tumultnously, 
 
 the kingdoms moved were : 
 
 The Lord God ottered his voice, 
 
 The earth did melt for fear. 
 
 7 The Lord of hosts upon our side 
 
 doth constantly remain: 
 The God of Jacob 's our refuge, 
 us safely to maintain. 
 
 8 Come, and behold what wondrous works 
 
 have by the Lord been wrought: 
 Come, see what desolations 
 he on the earth hath brought. 
 
 9 Unto the ends of all the earth 
 
 wars into peace he tarns : 
 The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts, 
 in fire the chariot burns. 
 
 10 Be still, and know that 1 am God : 
 
 among the heathen I 
 Will be exalted ; I on earth 
 will be exalted high. 
 
 11 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts, 
 
 is still upon our side; 
 The God of Jacob, our refuge 
 forever will abide. 
 
 Psalm. XLVIL 
 
 1 All people, clap yoHr hands; to God 
 
 with voice of triumph shout: 
 
 2 For dreadful is the Lord most high, 
 
 great King the earth throughout. 
 
 3 The heathen people under us 
 
 he surely shall subdue; 
 And he shall make the nations 
 under our feet to bow. 
 
 4 The lot of our inheritance 
 
 choose out for us shall he, 
 Of Jacob, whom he loved well, 
 ev'n the excellency. 
 
 5 God is with shouts gone up, the Lord 
 
 with trumpets sounding high. 
 
 6 Sing praise to God, sing praise, sing 
 
 praise; 
 praise to our King sing ye. 
 
 •7 For God is King of all the earth : 
 with knowledge praise express. 
 8 God rules the nations, God sits on 
 his throne of holiness.

 9 The princes of the people are 
 assembled willingly; 
 Ev'n of the God of Abraham 
 they who the people be : 
 
 10 Because the shields that do defend 
 the earth are only his: 
 They to the Lord belong; yea, he 
 exalted greatly is. 
 
 Psalm XLVIII. 
 
 1 Great is the Lord, and greatly he 
 
 is to be praised still, 
 Within the city of our God, 
 upon his holy hill. 
 
 2 Mount Sion stands most beautiful, 
 
 the joy of all the land; 
 The city of the mighty King 
 on her north side doth stand. 
 
 3 The Lord within her palaces 
 
 is for a refuge known. 
 
 4 For, lo, the kings that gather'd were, 
 
 together by have gone. 
 
 5 But, when they did behold the same, 
 
 they, wond'ring, would not stay; 
 But, being troubled at the sight, 
 they thence did haste awayt 
 
 6 Great terror there took hold on them, 
 
 they were possess'd with fear; 
 Their grief came like a woman's pain 
 when she a child doth bear. 
 
 7 Thou Tarshish ships with east wind 
 
 break'st: 
 
 8 As we have heard it told, 
 So in the city of the Lord 
 
 our eyes did it behold; 
 
 In our God's city, which his hand 
 forever 'stablish will. 
 
 9 We of thy loving-kindness thought, 
 
 Lord, in thy temple still. 
 
 10 O Lord, according to thy name, 
 
 through all the earth 's thy praise: 
 And thy right hand, O Lord, is full 
 of righteousness always. 
 
 11 Because thy judgments are made known, 
 
 let Sion Mount rejoice; 
 Of Judah let the daughters all 
 send forth a cheerful voice. 
 
 12 Walk about Sion, and go round; 
 
 the high tow'rs thereof tell: 
 
 13 Consider ye her palaces, 
 
 and mark her bulwarks well: 
 
 1 
 
 That ye may tell posterity. 
 14 For this God doth abide 
 Our God for evermore; he will 
 ev'n unto death us guide. 
 
 Psalm XLIX. 
 
 1 Hear this, all people, and give ear, 
 
 all in the world that dwell : 
 
 2 Both low and high, both rich and poor. 
 
 3 My mouth shall wisdom tell; 
 
 My heart shall knowledge meditate. 
 
 4 I will incline mine ear 
 To parables; and on the harp 
 
 my sayings dark declare. 
 
 5 Amidst those days that evil be, 
 
 why should I, fearing, doubt; 
 When of my heels th' iniquity 
 shall compass me about? 
 
 6 Whoe'er they be that in their wealth 
 
 their confidence do pitch, 
 And boast themselves, because they are 
 become exceeding rich: 
 
 7 Yet none of these his brother can 
 
 redeem by any way; 
 Nor can he unto God for him 
 sufficient ransom pay : 
 
 8 (Their soul's redemption precious is, 
 
 and it can never be;) 
 
 9 That still he should forever live, 
 
 and not corruption see. 
 
 10 Because he seeth that wise men die, 
 
 and brutish fools also 
 Do perish; and their wealth, when dead, 
 to others they let go. 
 
 11 Their inward thought is, that their house 
 
 and dwelling-places shall 
 Stand through all ages: they their lands 
 by their own names do call. 
 
 12 But yet in honor shall not man 
 
 abide continually; 
 But passing hence, may be compar'd 
 unto the heasts that die. 
 
 13 Thus, brutish folly plainly is 
 
 their wisdom and their way; 
 Yet their posterity approve 
 what they do fondly say. 
 
 1 Like sheep they in the grave are laid, 
 and death shall them devour; 
 Anil, in the morning, upright men 
 shall over them have pow'r; 
 
PSALMS 49—50. 
 
 51 
 
 Their beauty from their dwelling shall 
 consume within the grave. 
 
 15 But from hell's hand God will me free, 
 
 for he shall me receive. 
 
 16 Be thou not then afraid, when one 
 
 enriched thou dost see, 
 Nor when the glory of his house 
 advanced is on high: 
 
 17 For he shall carry nothing hence, 
 
 when death his days doth end; 
 
 Nor shall his glory after him 
 into the grave descend. 
 
 18 Although he his own soul did bless, 
 
 whilst he on earth did live : 
 And when thou to thyself do'st well, 
 men will thee praises give. 
 
 19 He to his fathers' race shall go; 
 
 they never shall see light. 
 
 20 Man honor'd, wanting knowledge, is 
 
 like beasts that perish quite.

PSALM 50. 
 
 [\ Our (Jo:! shall surely come, 
 keep silence »haU not lie : 
 Before lura fire shall waste, greaj -tonus 
 shall round about him be. 
 
 4 I'nto the heavens clear 
 
 he from above ihaH ball, 
 
 And to the earth likewise, thai h^ 
 may judge his people all. 
 
 5 Together let my saints 
 
 unto itip gathered be; 
 Those that by sacrifice have made 
 a covenant with me. 
 
 6 And then the heavens shall 
 
 his righteousness declare: 
 
 Because the Lord himself is he 
 
 by whom men judged are. 
 
 7 My people Isr'el hear, 
 
 speak will I from on high, 
 
 Against thee I will testify; 
 
 God, even thy God am I. 
 
 8 I, for thy sacrifice, 
 
 no blame will on thee lay, 
 Nor for burnt-oif 'rings, which to me 
 thou offer'dst ev'ry day. 
 
 9 I'll take no calf nor goats 
 
 from house or fold of thine: 
 
 10 For beasts of forests, cattle all 
 
 on thousand hills, are mine. 
 
 11 The fowls on mountains high, 
 
 are all to me well known; 
 Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, 
 ev'n they are all mine own. 
 
 12 Then, if I hungry were, 
 
 I would not tell it thee; 
 Because the world, and fullness all 
 thereof, belongs to me. 
 
 13 Will 1 eat flesh of bulls? 
 
 or goats' blood drink will I? 
 
 14 Thanks offer thou to God, and pay 
 
 thy vows to the Most High. 
 
 15 And call upon me, when 
 in trouble thou shalt be; 
 1 will deliver thee, and thou 
 my name shah glorify. 
 
 10 But to the wicked man 
 
 God saith, My laws and truth 
 ShotticPsI thou declare? how dar'st thon 
 take 
 my cov'nant in thy mouth? 
 
 17 J^ince thou instruction hat'st, 
 
 which should thy ways direct; 
 And since my words behind thy back 
 thou cast'st, and dost reject. 
 
 18 When thou a thief didst see, 
 
 With him thou didst consent; 
 And with the vile adulterers 
 partaker on thou went. 
 
 19 Thou giv'st thy mouth to ill, 
 
 thy tongue deceit doth frame. 
 
 20 Thou sitt'st, and" 'gainst thy brother 
 
 speak'st; 
 thy mother's son dost shame. 
 
 21 Because I silence kept, 
 
 while thou these things hast 
 wrought, 
 That I was altogether like 
 
 thyself, hath been thy thought : 
 
 Yet I will thee reprove, 
 
 and set before thine eyes, 
 In order ranked, thy misdeeds, 
 
 and thine iniquities. 
 
 22 Now, ye that God forget, 
 
 this carefully consider; 
 Lest I in pieces tear you all, 
 and none can you deliver. 
 
 23 Whoso doth offer praise, 
 
 me glorifies; and I 
 Will show him God's salvation, 
 that orders right his way.

 SECOND VERSION. 
 
 1 The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke, j 
 
 and call'd the earth upon, 
 Ev'n from the rising of the sun 
 unto his going down. 
 
 2 From out of Sion, his own hill, 
 
 where the perfection high 
 Of beauty is, from thence the Lord 
 hath shined gloriously. 
 
 3 Our God shall come, and shall no more ! 
 
 be silent, hut speak out: 
 Before him fire shall waste, great storms 
 shall compass him about. 
 
 4 He to the heavens from above, 
 
 and to the earth below, 
 Shall call, that he hi- judgments may 
 before hi> people show. 
 
 5 Let all my saints together be 
 
 unto me gathered : 
 Those that by sacrifice with me 
 a covenant have made. 
 
 6 And then the heavens shall declare 
 
 his righteousness abroad: 
 Becau>e the Lord himself doth come, 
 none else is judge but God. 
 
 7 Hear, O my people, and I'll speak ; 
 
 O Israel, by name, 
 
 11 thee I will testify: 
 r'n thy Qod I am. 
 
 8 I, for thy sacrifices few, 
 
 reprove thee never will, 
 Nor for burnt-off 'rings, to have been 
 before me olfer'd still. 
 
54 
 
 PSALMS 50—51. 
 
 9 I'll take no bullock nor he -goats, 
 from house nor fold of thine : 
 •:■• all 
 : hills, are mine. 
 
 11 'Hie fowls are ail to me well known 
 
 ains high do yield : 
 And 1 Ho challenge its mine own 
 the wild beasts oftiie field. 
 
 12 If 1 were hungry i would not 
 
 to thee for need complain; 
 For earth, and all its fullness, doth, 
 to me of right pertain. 
 
 13 That I, to eat the flesh of bulls, 
 
 take pleasure dost thou think? 
 Or that I need, to quench my thirst, 
 the blood of goats to drink? 
 
 14 Nay, rather unto me, thy God, 
 
 thanksgiving offer thou: 
 To the Most High perform thy word, 
 and fully pay thy vow. 
 
 15 And, in the day of trouble great, 
 
 see that ihod call on me; 
 
 I will deliver thee, and thou 
 
 my name shalt glorify. 
 
 16 But God unto the wicked saith, 
 
 Why should'st thou mention make 
 Of my commands? how dars't thou in 
 thy mouth my cov'nant take? 
 
 17 Since it is so, that thou dost hate 
 
 all good instruction; 
 And since thou east'st behind thy back, 
 and slight'st my words each one. 
 
 18 When thou a thief didst see, then 
 
 straight 
 thou join'dst with him in sin; 
 And with the vile adulterers 
 thou hast partaker been. 
 
 19 Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, 
 
 thy tongue deceit doth frame. 
 
 20 Thou sitt'st, and 'gainst thy brother 
 
 speak'st, 
 thy mother's son to shame. 
 
 21 These things thou wickedly hast done, 
 
 and I have silent been; 
 Thou thovgbt'st that I was like thyself, 
 and did approre thy tin : 
 
 Bat I will sharply thee reprove, 
 
 an! I w ill order right 
 Tliv miis and thy tTBHSgressiOBI 
 
 in pretenoa of thy light. 
 
 22 Consider this, and be afraid, 
 
 ye that forget the Lord, 
 Lest I in pieces tear you all, 
 when none can help afford. 
 
 23 WhoofF'reth praise me glorifies: 
 
 I will show God's salvation 
 To him that ordereth aright 
 his life and conversation. 
 
 Psalm LI. 
 
 1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord, 
 
 have mercy upon me; 
 For thy compassions great, blot out 
 all mine iniquity. 
 
 2 Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly 
 
 wash 
 from mine iniquity. 
 
 3 For my transgressions 1 confess; 
 
 my sin I ever see. 
 
 4 'Gainst thee, thee only, have 1 sinn'd, 
 
 in thy sight done this ill: 
 That when thou speak'st thou may'st be 
 just 
 and clear in judging still. 
 
 5 Behold, 1 in iniquity 
 
 was form'd the womb within; 
 My mother also me conceiv'd 
 in guiltiness and sin. 
 
 6 Behold, thou in the inward parts, 
 
 with truth delighted art; 
 And wisdom thou shalt make me know 
 within the hidden part. 
 
 7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, 
 
 I shall be cleansed so; 
 Yea wash thou me, and then I shall 
 be whiter than the snow. 
 
 8 Of gladness and of joyfulness 
 
 make me to hear the voice; 
 That so these very bones which thou 
 hast broken may rejoice. 
 
 9 All mine iniquities blot out, 
 
 thy face hide from my sin. 
 
 10 Create a clean heart, Lord; renew 
 
 aj-ight sp'rit me within. 
 
 1 1 Oast me not from thy sight; nor take 
 
 thy holy SjtVit away. 
 
 12 Restore me thy salvation's joy ; 
 
 with thy free Sp'rit me stay. 
 
 13 Then will I teach thy ways unto 
 
 those that transgressors be; 
 And those that sinners are, shall then 
 be turned unto thee. 
 
PSALMS 51—52—53. 
 
 55 
 
 14 O God, of my salvation God, 
 
 me from blood-guiltiness 
 Set free; then sha-'l my tongue aloud 
 sing of thy righteousness. 
 
 15 My closed lij>>, < > Lord, by thee 
 
 let them he opens . 
 Then shall thy praises by my mouth 
 abroad be published. 
 
 16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice, 
 
 else would I give it thee; 
 Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering 
 at all delighted be. 
 
 17 A broken spirit is to God 
 
 a pleasing sacrifice : 
 A broken and a contrite heart, 
 Lord, thou wilt not despise. 
 
 18 Show kindness, and do good, O Lord, 
 
 to Sion, thine own hill; 
 The walls of thy Jerusalem 
 build up of thy good- will. 
 
 19 Then righteous off' rings shall thee 
 
 please, 
 and ofF'rings burnt, which they, 
 With whole burnt-ofT'rings, and with 
 
 calves, 
 shall on thy altar lay. 
 
 Psalm LII. 
 
 1 Why dost thou boast, O mighty man, 
 
 of mischief and of ill? 
 The goodness of Almighty God 
 endure th ever still. 
 
 2 Thy tongue mischievous calumnies 
 
 deviseth subtilely, 
 Like to a razor sharp to cut, 
 working deceitfully. 
 
 3 111 more than good, and more than truth 
 
 thou lovest to speak wrong : 
 
 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, 
 
 O thou deceitful tongue. 
 
 5 So God shall thee destroy for aye, 
 
 remove thee, pluck thee out 
 Quite from thy house, out of the land 
 of life he shall thee root. 
 
 6 The righteous shall it see, and fear, 
 
 and laugh at him they shall : 
 
 7 Lo, this the man is, that did not 
 
 make God his strength at all : 
 
 But he in his abundant wealth 
 
 his coniidence did place; 
 And he took strength unto himself 
 
 from his own wickedness. 
 
 8 But I am in the house of God 
 
 like to an olive green : 
 
 T>ly confidence forever hath 
 
 upon God's mercy been. 
 
 9 And I forever will thee praise, 
 
 because thou hast done this : 
 I on thy name will wait; for good 
 before thy saints it is. 
 
 Psalm LIII. 
 
 1 That there is not a God, the fool 
 
 doth in his heart conclude : 
 They are corrupt, their works are vile, 
 not one of them do'th good. 
 
 2 The Lord upon the sons of men 
 
 from heav'n did cast his eyes, 
 To see if any one there was 
 that sought God, and was wise. 
 
 3 They altogether filthy are, 
 
 they all are backward gone; 
 And there is none thatdoeth good, 
 no, not so much as one. 
 
 4 These workers of iniquity, 
 
 do they not know at all, 
 That they my people eat as bread, 
 and on God do not call? 
 
 5 Ev'n there they were afraid, and stood 
 
 with trembling all dismay'd, 
 Whereas there was no cause at all 
 why they should be afraid : 
 
 For God his bones that thee besieg'd 
 
 hath scatter'd all abroad; 
 Thou hast confounded them, for they 
 
 despised are of God. 
 
 6 Let Is'rel's help from Sion come ! 
 
 when back the Lord shall bring 
 His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, 
 and Isr'el shall sing.

 1 Save me, O God, by thy great name, 
 
 and judge me by thy strength. 
 
 2 My prayer hear, O God; give ear 
 
 unto my words at length. 
 
 3 For they that strangers are to me 
 
 do up against me rise; 
 Oppressors seek my soul, and God 
 set not before their eyes. 
 
 4 The Lord my God my helper is, 
 
 lo, therefore, J ;im hold : 
 
 He taketh part with ev'ry one 
 
 that doth my soul uphold. 
 
 5 Unto mine enemies lie shall 
 
 ii i chief and ill repay : 
 O for thy truth's sake cut them off, 
 and sweep them clean away. 
 
 6 I will a sacrifice to thee 
 
 give with free willingness: 
 
 Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good, 
 with praise I will confess. 
 
 7 For he hath me delivered 
 from all adversities ; 
 And his desire mine eye hath seen 
 upon mine enemies. 
 
 Psalm. LV. 
 
 1 Lord, hear my pray'r; hide nol thyself 
 
 from my entreatig voice. 
 
 2 Attend and hear me; in my plaint 
 
 I mourn and make a noise; 
 
 3 Because of th' en'my's voice, and for 
 
 lewd men's oppression great: 
 On me they cast iniquity, 
 and they in wrath me hate. 
 
 4 Sore pain'd within me is my heart; 
 
 death's terrors on me fall. 
 
 5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread 
 
 o'erwhelmed me withal. 
 
PSALM 55-56. 
 
 57 
 
 6 O that !, like a dove, had wings, 
 
 said I, then would I flee 
 Far hence,- that I might find a place 
 where I in rest might be. 
 
 7 Lo, then far oft' I wander would, 
 
 and in the desert stay: 
 
 8 From windy storm and tempest I 
 
 would haste to 'scape away. 
 
 9 O Lord, on them destruction bring, 
 
 and do their tongues divide : 
 For in the city violence 
 and strife I "have espied. 
 
 10 They day and night upon the walls 
 
 do go about it round: 
 There mischief is, and sorrow there 
 in midst of it is found. 
 
 11 Abundant wickedness there is 
 
 within her inward part; 
 And from her streets deceitfulness 
 and guile do not depart. 
 
 i2 He was no foe that me reproach'd; 
 then that endure I could : 
 Nor hater that did 'gainst me boast; 
 from him me hide I would : 
 
 13 But thou, man, who mine equal, guide, 
 
 and mine acquaintance wast. 
 
 14 We join'd sweet counsel, to God's house 
 
 in company we past. 
 
 15 Let death upon them seize, and down 
 
 let them go quick to hell : 
 For wickedness doth much abound 
 among them where they dwell. 
 
 16 I'll call on God : God will me save. 
 
 17 I'll pray, and make a noise 
 
 At ev'ning, morning, and at noon; 
 and he shall hear my voice. 
 
 18 He hath my soul delivered, 
 
 that it in peace might be 
 From battle that against me was : 
 for many were with me, 
 
 19 The Lord shall hear, and them afflict, 
 
 of old who hath abode : 
 Because they never changes have, 
 therefore they fear not God. 
 
 20 'Gainst those that were at peace with 
 
 him, 
 he hath put forth his hand; 
 The covenant that he had made, 
 by breaking he profan'd. 
 
 SI More smooth than butter were hit 
 words, 
 while in his heart was war; 
 His speeches were more soft than oil, 
 and yet drawn swords they were. 
 
 22 Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, 
 
 and he shall thee sustain; 
 Yea, he shall cause the righteous man 
 unmoved to remain. 
 
 23 But thou, O Lord my God, those men 
 
 in justice shalt o'erthrow, 
 and in destruction's dungeon dark 
 at last shalt lay them low . 
 
 The bloody and deceitful men 
 shall not live half their days; 
 
 But upon thee with confidence 
 I will depend always. 
 
 Psalm LVI. 
 
 1 Show mercy, Lord, to me, for man 
 
 would swallow me outright; 
 He me oppresseth, while he doth 
 against me daily fight. 
 
 2 They daily would me swallow up 
 
 that hate me spitefully; 
 For they be many that do fight 
 against me, O most High. 
 
 3 When I'm afraid, I'll trust in thee. 
 
 4 In God I'll praise his word; 
 
 I will not fear what flesh can do, 
 my trust is in the Lord. 
 
 5 Each day they wrest my words; their 
 
 thoughts 
 'gainst me are all for ill. 
 
 6 They meet, they lurk, they mark my 
 
 steps, 
 waiting my soul to kill. 
 
 7 But shall they by iniquity 
 
 escape thy judgment so? 
 
 O God, with indignation down 
 
 do thou the people throw. 
 
 8 My wand'rings all what they have been 
 
 thou know'st, their number took; 
 Into thy bottle put my tears : 
 are they not in thy book? 
 
 9 My foes shall, when I cry, turn back; 
 
 I know't, God is for me. 
 10 In God his word I'll praise; his word 
 in God shall praised be. 
 
58 
 
 PSALMS 56—57—58. 
 
 11 In God 1 trust; 1 will not fear 
 
 what man can do to me. 
 
 12 Thy vows upon me are, O God : 
 
 I'll render praise to thee. 
 
 13 Wilt thou not, who from death me lav'd, 
 my feet from falls keep free, 
 To walk before God in the. light 
 of those that living be?

 Psalm LVII. 
 
 1 Be merciful to me, O God, 
 
 thy mercy nnto me 
 Do thou extend; because my soul 
 doth put her trust in thee : 
 
 Yea, in the.shadow of thy wings 
 my refuge I will place, 
 
 Until these sad calamities 
 do wholly overpass. 
 
 2 My cry I will cause to ascend 
 
 unto the Lord most high; 
 
 To God, who doth all things for mo 
 perform most perfectly. 
 
 3 From heav'n he shalUend down, and me 
 
 from his reproach defend 
 That would devour me : God his truth 
 and mercy forth shall send. 
 
 4 My soul among fierce lions is ; 
 
 I firebrands live among; 
 Men's sons, whose teeth are spear 1 and 
 darts, 
 a sharp sword is Iheir tongue. 
 
PSALMS 5 7—5 8—59-^0.

 5 Be thou exalted very high 
 
 above the heav'ns, OGod; 
 Let thou thy glory he advanc'd 
 o'er all the earth abroad. 
 
 6 My soul's bow'd down; for they a net 
 
 have laid, my steps to snare : 
 Into the pit which they have digg'd 
 for me, they fallen are. 
 
 7 My heart is fix'd, my heart is fix'd, 
 
 O God : I'll sing and praise. 
 
 8 My glory, wake; wake psalt'ry, harp; 
 
 myself I'll early raise. 
 
 9 I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord; 
 
 'mong nations sing will I : 
 
 10 For great to heav'n thy mercy is, 
 
 thy truth is to the sky. 
 
 11 O Lord, exalted be thy name 
 
 above the heav'ns to stand; 
 Do thou thy glory far advance 
 above both sea and land. 
 
 Psalm LVIII. 
 
 1 Do ye, O congregation, 
 
 indeed speak righteousness? 
 
 O ye that are the sons of men, 
 
 judge ye with uprightness? 
 
 2 Yea, ev'n within your very hearts 
 
 ye wickedness have done; 
 And ye the vi'lence of your hands 
 do weigh the earth upon. 
 
 3 The wicked men estranged are, 
 
 ev'n from the very womb; 
 They, speaking lies, do stray as soon 
 as to the world they come. 
 
 4 Unto a serpent's poison like 
 
 their poison doth appear; 
 Yea, they are like the adder deaf, 
 that closely stops her ear; 
 
 5 That so she may not hear the voice 
 
 of one that charm her would; 
 No, not though he most cunning were, 
 and charm most wisely could. 
 
 6 Their teeth, O God, within their mouth, 
 
 break thou in pieces small; 
 The great teeth break thou out, O Lord, 
 of those young lions all. 
 
 7 Let them like waters melt away, 
 
 which downward still do flow: 
 In pieces cut his arrows all, 
 when he shall bend his bow. 
 
 8 Like to a snail that melts away, 
 
 let each of them be gone; 
 Like women's birth untimely, that 
 they never see the sun. 
 
 9 He shall them take away before 
 
 your pots the thorns can find, 
 Both living, and in fury great, 
 as with a stormy wind. 
 
 10 The righteous when he vengeance seeth 
 
 he shall be joyful then : 
 The righteous one shall wash his feet 
 in blood of wicked men. 
 
 11 So men shall say, The righteous man 
 
 reward shall never miss : 
 And verily upon the earth 
 a God to judge there is.

 Psalm LIX. 
 
 1 My God, deliver me from those 
 
 that are mine enemies; 
 And do thou me defend from those 
 that up against, me rise. 
 
 2 Do thou deliver me from them 
 
 that work iniquity; 
 And give me safety from the men 
 of bloody cruelty. 
 
 3 For lo, they for my soul lay wait : 
 
 the mighty do combine 
 Against me, Lord; not for my fault, 
 nor any sin of mine. 
 
 4 They run, and, without fault in me, 
 
 themselves do ready make : 
 Awake to meet me with thy help, 
 and do thou notice take. 
 
 5 Awake therefore, Lord God of hosts, 
 
 thou God of Israel, 
 To visit heathen all : spare none 
 that wickedly rebel. 
 
 6 At ev'ning they 20 to and fro; 
 
 they make great noise and sound, 
 Like to a dog, and often walk 
 about the city round. 
 
 7 Behold, they belch out with tbeir mouth. 
 
 and in their lips are swords : 
 For they do say thus, Who is he 
 that now doth hear our words? 
 
 8 But thou, Lord, shah laugh at them, 
 
 and all the heathen mock. 
 
 9 While he's in pow'r I'll wait on thee; 
 
 for God is my high rock.

 10 He of my mercy that is God 
 
 betimes shall me prevent : 
 Upon mine en'mies God shall let 
 me see mine heart's content. 
 
 11 Them slay not, lest my folk forget; 
 
 but scatter them abroad 
 By thy strong pow'r; and bring them 
 down, 
 O thou, our shield and God. 
 
 12 For their mouth's sin, and for the words 
 
 that from their lips do fly, 
 Let them be taken in their pride; 
 because they curse and lie. 
 
 13 In wrath consume them, them consume, 
 
 that so they may not be : 
 And that in Jacob God doth rule 
 to th' earth's ends, let them see. 
 
 14 At ev'ning let thou them return, 
 
 making great noise and sound, 
 Like to a dog, and often walk 
 about the city round. 
 
 15 And let them wander up and down 
 
 in seeking food to eat; 
 And let them grudge when they shall not 
 be satisfied with meat. 
 
 16 But of thy pow'r I'll sin? aloud ; 
 
 at morn thy mercy praise : 
 
 For thou to me my refuge wast, 
 
 and tow'r, in troublous days. 
 
 17 O God, thou art my strength, I will 
 
 sing praises unto thee : 
 For God is my defense, a God 
 of mercy unto me.

 Psalm LX. 
 
 1 O Lord, thou hast rejected us, 
 
 and scattered us abroad : 
 Thou justly hast displeased been; 
 return to us, O God. 
 
 2 The earth to tremble thou hast made ; 
 
 therein didst breaches make : 
 
 Do thou thereof the breaches heal, 
 
 because the land doth shake. 
 
 3 Unto thy people thou hard things 
 
 hast show'd, and on them sent, 
 And thou hast caused us to drink 
 wine of astonishment. 
 
 4 And yet a banner thou hast giv'n 
 
 to them who thee do fear, 
 That it by them because of truth, 
 displayed may appear. 
 
 5 That thy beloved people may 
 
 delivered be from thrall, 
 Save with the pow'r of thy right hand, 
 and hear me when I call. 
 
 6 God in his holiness hath spoke, 
 
 herein I will take pleasure : 
 
 Shechem I will divide, and forth 
 will Succoth's valley measure. 
 
 7 Gilead I claim as mine by right ; 
 
 Manasseh mine shall be; 
 Ephraim is of mine head the strength* 
 Judah gives laws for me. 
 
 8 Moab's my washing-pot; my shoe 
 
 I'll over Edom throw : 
 
 And over Palestina's land 
 
 I will in triumph go. 
 
 9 O who is he will bring mo to 
 
 the city fortified? 
 O who is he that to the land 
 of Edom will me guide? 
 
 10 O God, which hadestus cut off, 
 
 this thing wilt thou not do? 
 Ev'nthou, O God, which did'st not 
 forth with our armies go? 
 
 11 Help us from trouble; for the help 
 
 is vain which man supplies, 
 
 12 Through God we'll do great acts; he shall 
 
 tread down our enemies.

 Psalm LXI. 
 
 1 O God, give ear unto my cry; 
 
 unto my pray'r attend. 
 
 2 From th' utmost corner of the land 
 
 my cry to thee I'll send. 
 
 What time my heart is overwhelm'd, 
 
 and in perplexity, 
 Do thou me lead unto the Rock 
 
 that higher is than I. 
 
 3 For thou hast for my refuge been 
 
 a shelter by thy pow'r; 
 And for defense against my foes 
 thou hast been a strong tow'r. 
 
 4 Within thy tabernacle I 
 
 forever will abide; 
 And under covert of thy wings 
 with confidence me hide. 
 
 5 For thou the vows that I did make 
 
 O Lord my God, didst hear : 
 
 Thou hast giv'n me the heritage 
 
 of those thy name that fear. 
 
 6 A life prolong'd for many days 
 
 thou to the king shalt give; 
 Like many generations be 
 the years which he shall live. 
 
 7 He in God's presence his abode 
 
 for evermore shall have : 
 O do thou truth and mercy both 
 prepare, that may him save. 
 
 8 And so will I perpetually 
 
 sing praise unto thy name; 
 That naving made my vows, I may 
 each day perform the same. 
 
 Psalm LXII. 
 
 1 My soul with expectation 
 
 depends on God indeed : 
 My strength and my salvation doth 
 from him alone proceed* 
 
 2 He only my salvation is, 
 
 and my strong Rock is he : 
 
 He only is my sure defense, 
 
 much mov'd I shall not be. 
 
 3 How long will ye against a man 
 
 plot mischief? ye shall all 
 
 Be slain : ye as a tott'ring fense 
 
 shall be, and bowing wall. 
 
 4 They only plot to cast him down 
 
 from his excellency : 
 They joy in lies; with mouth they bless, 
 but they curse inwardly. 
 
 5 My soul, wait thou with patience 
 
 upon thy God alone; 
 On him dependeth all my hope 
 and expectation. 
 
 6 He only my salvation is, 
 
 and my strong rock is he; 
 He only is my sure defense, 
 I shall not moved be. 
 
 7 In God my glory placed is, 
 
 and my salvation sure; 
 In God the rock is of my strength, 
 my refuge most secure. 
 
 8 Ye people, place your confidence 
 
 in him continually; 
 Before him pour ye out your heart : 
 God is our refuge high. 
 
PSALMS 63—64. 
 
 9 Surely mean men are vanity, 
 and great in on arc 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 ; 
 increased is your gain. 
 
 11 God hath it spoken once to me, 
 
 yea, this [ heard again, 
 That power to Almighty God 
 alone doth appertain. 
 
 12 Yea, mercy also unto thee 
 
 belongs, O Lord, alone : 
 For thou according to his work 
 rewardest ev'ry one. 
 
 Psalm LXIII. 
 
 1 Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek; 
 
 my soul doth thirst for thee : 
 My flesh longs in a dry parch'd land, 
 wherein no waters be : 
 
 2 Thtff I thy power may behold, 
 
 and brightness of thy face, 
 As I have seen thee heretofore 
 within thy holy place. 
 
 3 Since better is thy love than life, 
 
 my lips thee prnise shall give. 
 
 4 I in thy name will lift my hands, 
 
 and bless thee while I live. 
 
 5 Ev'n as with marrow and with fat 
 
 my soul shall rilled be; 
 Then shall my mouth with joyful lips 
 sing praises unto thee : 
 
 6 When I do thee upon my bed 
 
 remember with delight, 
 And when on thee i meditate 
 
 in watches of the , 
 
 7 In shadow of thy wines I'll jov: 
 
 for thou mine help hast been. 
 
 8 My soul thee follows hard; and me 
 
 thy right hand doth sustain. 
 
 9 Who seek my soul to spill shall sink 
 
 down to earth's lowest room. 
 
 10 They by the sword shall be cut off, 
 
 and foxes' prey become. 
 
 11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice; 
 
 and each one glory shall 
 That swear by him : but stopp'd shall he 
 the mouth of liars all. 
 
 Psalm LXIV. 
 
 1 When I to thee my prayer make, 
 
 Lord, to my voice give ear; 
 My life save from the enemy 
 of whom I stand in fear. 
 
 2 Me from their secret counsel hide 
 
 who do live wickedly; 
 From insurrection of those men 
 that work iniquity : 
 
 3 Who do their tongues with malice wli6t 
 
 and make them cut like swords; 
 In whose bent bows are arrows set, 
 ev'n sharp and bitter words : 
 
 4 That they may at the perfect man 
 
 in secret aim their shot; 
 Yea, suddenly they dare at him 
 to shoot, and fear it not. 
 
 5 In ill encourage they themselves; 
 
 and their snares close do lay: 
 Together conference they have; 
 Who shall them see ? they say. 
 
 G They have search'd out iniquities, 
 a perfect search they keep : 
 Of each of them the inward thought 
 and very heart is deep. 
 
 7 God shall an arrow shoot at them, 
 
 and wound them suddenly : 
 
 8 So their own tongue shall them confound t 
 
 all who them see shall fly. 
 
 9 And on all men a fear shall fall, 
 
 ^ God's work they shall declare ■ 
 For they shall wisely notice take 
 what these his doings are. 
 
 10 In God the righteous shall rejoice, 
 and trust upon his might; 
 Yea, they shall greatly glory all 
 in heart that arc upright.

 2 O thou that hearer art of pray 'r, 
 
 all flesh .hall come to thee 
 
 '.] Iniquities, I must confess, 
 prevail against me do: 
 But as for our transgressions, 
 them purge away shalt thou.

 4 Bless'd is the man whom thou dost 
 
 choose 
 and mak'st approach to thee, 
 That he within thy court-, (.) Lord, 
 may still a dweller he : 
 
 We surely >hall be satisfied 
 
 with thy abundant grace, 
 And with the goodness of thy house, 
 
 ev'n of thy holy place. 
 
 5 O God of our salvation, 
 
 thou, in thy righteousness, 
 By fearful works unto our pray'rs 
 thine answer dost express: 
 
 Therefore the ends of all the earth, 
 
 and those afar that he 
 Upon the sea, their confidence, 
 
 O Lord, will place in thee. 
 
 6 Who, being girt with pow'r, sets fast 
 
 by his great strength the hills : 
 
 7 Who noise of seas, noise of their waves 
 
 and people's tumult still*. 
 
 8 Those in the utmost parts that dwell 
 
 are at thy signs afraid : 
 Th 1 outgoings of the morn and ev'n 
 by thee are joyful made. 
 
 9 The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it; 
 
 thou mak'st it rich to grow 
 With God's tull flood; thou cornprepar'st, 
 when thou provid'st it so. 
 
 10 Her ridg's thou wat'rest plenteously, 
 
 her furrows settlest : 
 With show'rs thou do>t her mollify; 
 her spring by thee is blest. 
 
 11 So thou the year most lib'rally 
 
 dost with thy goodness crown; 
 And all thy paths abundantly 
 on us drop fatness down. 
 
 12 They drop upon the pastures wide 
 
 that do in deserts lie : 
 
 The little hills on ev'ry side 
 
 rejoice right pleasantly. 
 
 13 With flocks the pastures clothed be, 
 
 the vales witii corn are clad; 
 And now they shout and sing to thee, 
 for thou hast made them glad. 
 
 Psalm LXVf. 
 
 1 All lands to God in joyful sounds, 
 
 aloft your voices raise : 
 9 Sing forth the honor of his name, 
 and glorious make his praise. 
 
 3 Say unto God, How terrible 
 
 in all thy works art thou ! 
 Through thy great pow'r thy foes to the© 
 shall be coustrain'd to bow. 
 
 4 All on the earth shall worship thee, 
 
 they shall thy praise proclaim 
 In songN ; they shall sing cheerfully 
 unto thy hoiy name. 
 
 5 Come, and the works that God hath 
 
 wrought 
 with admiration see : 
 In 's working to the sons of men 
 most terrible is he. 
 
 G Into dry land the sea he turn'd, 
 and they a passage had : 
 Ev'n marching through the flood on foot 
 tnere we in him were glad. 
 
 7 He ruleth ever by his pow'r; 
 
 his eyes the nations see : 
 O let not the rebellious ones 
 lift up themselves on high. 
 
 8 Ye people, bless our God ; aloud 
 
 the voice speak of his praise : 
 
 9 Our soul in life who safe preserves, 
 
 our foot from sliding stays. 
 
 10 For thou did'st prove and try us, Lord, 
 
 as men do silver try; 
 
 11 Brought'st us into the net, and mad'st 
 
 bands on our loins to lie. 
 
 12 Thou hast caus'd men ride o'er our heads; 
 
 and though that we did pass 
 Through fire and water, yet thou 
 brought's 
 us to a wealthy place. 
 
 13 I'll bring burnt-off'rings to thy house; 
 
 to thee my vows I'll pay, 
 
 14 Which my lips utter'd, my mouth spake, 
 
 when trouble on me lay. 
 
 15 Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams, 
 
 with incense I will bring; 
 Of bullocks and of goats I will 
 present an offering. 
 
 16 All that fear God, come, hear, I'll tell 
 
 what he did for my soul. 
 
 17 1 with my mouth unto him cried, 
 
 my tongue did him extol. 
 
 18 If in my heart 1 sin regard, 
 
 the Lord me will not hear : 
 
 19 But surely God me heard, and to 
 
 my prayer's voice gave ear.

 Psalm LXVIII. 
 
 1 Let God arise, and scattered 
 
 let all his en'mies be; 
 And let all those that do him hate 
 before his presence flee. 
 
 2 As smoke is driv'n, so drive thou them; 
 
 as fire melts wax away, 
 Before God's face let wicked men 
 so perish and decay. 
 
 3 But let the righteous be glad ; 
 
 let them before God's sight 
 
 Be very joyful ; yea, let them 
 
 rejoice with all their might. 
 
 4 To God sing, to his name sing praise ; 
 
 extol him with your voice 
 That rides on heav'n by his name JAH, 
 before his face rejoice. 
 
 5 Because the Lord a father is 
 
 unto the fatherless; 
 God is the widow's judge, within 
 his place ofholiness. 
 
 6 God doth the solitary set 
 
 in fam'lies : and from bands 
 The ehain'd dot!) free; but rebels do 
 inhabit parched lands. 
 
 7 O God, what time thou did'st go forth 
 
 before thy people's face; 
 And when through the great wilderness 
 thy glorious marching was; 
 
 8 Then at God's presence shook the earth 
 
 then drops from heaven fell; 
 Tbifl Sinai shook before the Lord, 
 the God of Israel. 
 
 9 O God, thou to thine heritage 
 
 did'st send a plenteous rain, 
 Whereby thou, when it weary wu, 
 did'st it refresh again. 
 
 10 Thy congregation then did make 
 
 their habitation there : 
 Of thine own goodness for the poor > 
 O God, thou did'st prepare. 
 
 11 The Lord himself did give the word, 
 
 the word abroad did spread; 
 Great was the company of them 
 the same who published. 
 
 12 Kings of great armies foiled were, 
 
 and fore'd to flee away: 
 And women, who remain'd at home, 
 did distribute the prey. 
 
 13 Though ye have Iain among the pots, 
 
 like doves ye shall appear, 
 Whose wings with silver, and with gole 
 whose feathers cov'red are. 
 
 14 When there th'Almighty scatter'd king* 
 
 Like Salmon's snow 'twas white. 
 
 15 God's hill is like to Bashan hill, 
 
 like Bashan hill for hight. 
 
 16 Why do ye leap, ye mountains high? 
 
 this is the hill where God 
 
 Desires to dwell; yea, God in it 
 
 for aye will make abode. 
 
 17 God's chariots twenty thousand are, 
 
 thousands of angels strong : 
 In's holy place God is, as in 
 mount Sinai them among. 
 
 18 Thou hast, O Lord, most glorious 
 
 ascended up on high; 
 And in triumph victorious led 
 captive, captivity : 
 
 Thou hast received gifts for men, 
 
 for such as did rebel ; 
 Yea, ev'n for them, that God the Lord 
 
 in midst of them might dwell. 
 
 19 Bless'd be the Lord, who is to us 
 
 of our salvation God; 
 Who daily with his benefits 
 us plenteously doth load. 
 
 20 He of salvation is the God, 
 
 who is our (iod most strong; 
 And unto God the Lord from death 
 the issues do belong. 
 
 21 But surely God shall wound the head 
 
 of those that are his foes ; 
 The hairy scalp of him that still 
 on in his trespass goes; 
 
PSALMS 68—69. 
 
 22 God said, My people I will bring 
 
 again from Bashan hill; 
 Yea, from the sea's devouring depths 
 them bring again I will : 
 
 23 That in the blood of enemies 
 
 thy foot imbru'd may be; 
 And of thy dogs dipp'd in the same 
 the tongues thou mayest see. 
 
 24 Thy goings they have seen, O God; 
 
 the steps of majesty 
 Of my God, and my mighty King, 
 within the sanctuary. 
 
 25 Before went singers, players next 
 
 on instruments took way; 
 And them among the damsels were 
 that did on timbrels play. 
 
 26 Within the congregations 
 
 bless God with one accord; 
 
 From Is'rel's fountain do ye bless 
 
 and praise the mighty Lord. 
 
 27 With their prince, little Benjamin, 
 
 princes and counsel there 
 Of Judah were, there Zebulon's 
 and Napht'li's princes were. 
 
 28 Thy God command'st thy strength: 
 
 make strong 
 what thou wrought'st for us, Lord. 
 
 29 For thy house at Jerusalem, 
 
 kings shall the gifts afford. 
 
 30 The spearmen's host, the multitude 
 
 of bulls, which fiercely look, 
 Those calves which people have forth 
 sent, 
 O Lord our God, rebuke, 
 
 Till ev'ry one submit himself, 
 
 and silver pieces bring: 
 The people that delight in war 
 
 disperse, O God and King. 
 
 31 Those that be princes great shall then 
 
 come out of Egypt lands; 
 And Ethiopia to God 
 
 shall soon stretch out her hands. 
 
 32 O all ye kingdoms of the earth, 
 
 sing praises to this King; 
 For he is Lord that ruleth all, 
 unto him praises sing : 
 
 33 To him that rides on heav'ns of heav'n» f 
 
 which he of old did found; 
 Lo, he sends out his voice, a voice 
 in might that doth abound. 
 
 34 Strength unto God do ye ascribe; 
 
 for his excellency 
 Is over Israel, his strength 
 is in the clouds most high. 
 
 35 Thou'rt from thy temple dreadful, Lord: 
 
 Isr'el's own God is he, 
 Who gives his people strength and 
 pow'r : 
 O let God blessed be.

PSALM 69. 
 
 Psalm LXIX. 
 
 1 Save me, O God, because the floods 
 
 do so environ me, 
 That ev'n unto my very soul 
 come in the waters be. 
 
 2 I downward in deep mire do sink, 
 
 where standing there i* none : 
 I am into deep water- .nine, 
 
 where floo ll have o'er me gone. 
 
 3 I weary with niv eryin_- 
 
 my throat i- also dried; 
 Mine eye- do fell, while tor my (Jod 
 
 I waiting do abide. 
 
 4 Tho>e men that do without a cause 
 
 he;ir hatred unto me, 
 Than are the liair> upon my head 
 
 in number more tin \ 
 They that would me destroy, and are 
 
 mine en'nues wrongfully. 
 
 Are mighty : so what I took not 
 
 to render fore'd was I. 
 5 Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins? 
 
 not cover'd are from thee. 
 G Let none that wait on thee be sham'd, 
 
 Lord Qod of boat*, forme : 
 
 O Lord, the God of Lrael, 
 
 let none who li fib do make, 
 
 Am! >eek thee, he at any time 
 confounded for my >ake. 
 
 7 For I have borne reproach for thee, 
 
 mv face is bid with shame, 
 
 8 To brethren >t range, to mother's sona 
 
 an alien I became. 
 
 9 Because the zeal did eat me up 
 
 which to thine house I bear; 
 And the reproaches cast at the* 
 upon me fallen axe. 
 
PSALM 69. 
 
 71 
 
 10 My tears and fasts t' afflict my soul, 
 
 were tamed to ray shame. 
 
 11 When sackcloth I did wear, to them 
 
 a proverb 1 became. 
 
 12 The men that in the gate do sit 
 
 against me evil spake; 
 They also that vile drunkards were, 
 of me their song did make. 
 
 13 But in an acceptable time, 
 
 my pray'r, Lord, is to thee : 
 
 In truth of thy salvation, Lord, 
 
 and mercy great, hear me. 
 
 14 Deliver me out of the mire, 
 
 from sinking do me keep; 
 Free me from those that do me hate, 
 and from the waters deep. 
 
 15 Let not the flood on me prevail, 
 
 whose water overflows; 
 Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit 
 her mouth upon me close. 
 
 16 Hear me, O Lord, because thy love 
 
 and kindness is most good; 
 Turn unto me, according to 
 thy mercies' multitude. 
 
 17 Nor from thy servant hide thy face; 
 
 I'm troubled, soon attend. 
 
 18 Draw near my soul and it redeem; 
 
 me from my foes defend. 
 
 19 To thee is my reproach well known, 
 
 my shame, and my disgrace : 
 Those that mine adversaries be 
 are all before thy face. 
 
 20 Reproach hath broke my heart; I'm full 
 
 of grief ; I look'd for one 
 
 To pity me, but none I found; 
 
 comforters found I none. 
 
 21 They also bitter gall did give 
 
 unto me for my meat : 
 They gave me vinegar to drink, 
 when as my thirst was great. 
 
 22 Before them let their table prove 
 
 a snare; and do thou make 
 
 Their welfare and prosperity 
 
 a trap themselves to take. 
 
 23 Let thou their eyes so darken'd be, 
 
 that sight may them forsake ; 
 And let their loins be made by thee 
 continually to shake. 
 
 24 Thy fury pour thou out on them, 
 
 and indignation; 
 And let thy wrathful anger, Lord, 
 fast hold take them upon. 
 
 25 All waste and desolate let be 
 
 their habitation; 
 And in their tabernacles all 
 inhabitants be none. 
 
 26 Because*hiin they do persecute, 
 
 whom thou did'st smite before; 
 
 They talk unto the grief of those 
 
 whom thou hast wounded sore. 
 
 27 Add thou iniquity unto 
 
 their former wickedness; 
 And do not let them come at all 
 into thy righteousness. 
 
 28 Out of the book of life let them 
 
 be raz'd and blotted quite; 
 
 Among the just and righteous 
 
 let not their names be writ. 
 
 29 But now become exceeding poor 
 
 and sorrowful am I : 
 By thy salvation, O my God, 
 let me be set on high. 
 
 30 The name of God I with a song 
 
 most cheerfully will praise; 
 
 And I, in giving thanks to him, 
 
 his name shall highly raise. 
 
 31 This to the Lord a sacrifice 
 
 more gracious shall prove, 
 Than bullock, ox, or any beast 
 that hath both horn and hoof. 
 
 32 When this the humble men shall see, 
 
 it joy to them shall give : 
 
 O all ye that do seek the Lord, 
 
 your hearts shall ever live. 
 
 33 For God the poor hears, and will not 
 
 his prisoners contemn. 
 
 34 Let heav'n, and earth, and seas, him 
 
 praise 
 and all that move in them. 
 
 35 For God will Judah's cities build, 
 
 and he will Sion save; 
 That they may dwell therein, and it 
 in sure possession have. 
 
 36 And they that are his servants' seed 
 
 inherit shall the same: 
 So shall they have their dwelling there 
 that love his blessed name.

 Psalm LXX1. 
 
 1 O Lord, my hope and confidence 
 
 is plac'd in thee alone; 
 Then let thy servant never be 
 put to confusion. 
 
 2 And let me, in thy righteousness, 
 
 from thee deliv'rance have 
 Cause me escape, incline thine ear 
 unto me, and me save. 
 
 3 Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which 
 
 I ever may resort : 
 Thou gav'st commandment me to save 
 for thou'rt my rock and fort. 
 
 4 Free me, my God, from wicked hands, 
 
 hands cruel and unjnst : 
 
 5 For thou, O Lord God, art my hope; 
 
 and from my youth my trust. 
 
74 
 
 PSALMS 71—72. 
 
 6 Thou from the womb didst hold me up : ' 
 
 thou art the same that me 
 Out of my mother's bowels took; 
 I ever will praise thee. 
 
 7 To many I a wonder am, 
 
 but thou'rt my refuse strong. 
 
 8 Filled let my mouth he with thy praise 
 
 and honor all day long. 
 
 9 O do not cast me off, when as 
 
 old age doth overtake me; 
 And when my strength decayed is, 
 then do not thou forsake me. 
 
 10 For those that are mine enemies 
 
 against me speak with hale; 
 And they together counsel take 
 that for my soul lay wait. 
 
 11 They said, God leaves him; him pursue 
 
 and take : none will him save. 
 
 12 Be thou not far from me, my God : 
 
 thy speedy help I crave. 
 
 13 Confound, consume them, that unto 
 
 my soul are enemies; 
 Cloth'd be they with reproach and shame 
 that do my hurt devise. 
 
 14 But I with expectation 
 
 will hope continually; 
 And yet with praises more and more 
 I will thee magnify. 
 
 15 Thy justice and salvation 
 
 my mouth abroad shall show, 
 Ev'n all the day; for I thereof 
 the numbers do not know. 
 
 16 And I will constantly go on 
 
 in strength of God the Lord; 
 And thine own righteousness, ev'n thine 
 alone, I will record. 
 
 17 For even from my youth, O God, 
 
 by thee I have been taught; 
 And4iitherto I have declar'd 
 the wonders thou hast wrought. 
 
 18 And now, Lord, leave me not, when I 
 
 old and gray-headed grow; 
 Till to this age thy strength and pow'r 
 to all to come, l show. 
 
 19 And thy most perfect righteousness, 
 
 O I^ord, is very high, 
 who hast so great things done: O God, 
 who is like unto thee? 
 
 20 Thou, Lord, who great adversities, 
 
 and sore to me aid show, 
 Shall quicken, and bring me again 
 from depths of earth below. 
 
 21 My greatness and my power thou wilt 
 
 increase, and far extend : 
 
 On ev'ry side against all grief 
 
 thou wilt me comfort send. 
 
 22 Thee, ev'n thy truth, I'll also praise, 
 
 my (Sod, with psaltery : 
 Thou holy One of Israel, 
 with harp I'll sing to thee. 
 
 23 My lips shall much rejoice in thee, 
 
 when I thy praises sound : 
 My soul, which thou redeemed hast 
 in joy shall much abound. 
 
 24 My tongue thy justice shall proclaim, 
 
 continuing all day long: 
 For they confounded are, and sham'd 
 that seek to do me wrong. 
 
 Psalm LXXII. 
 
 1 O Lord, thy judgments give the king, 
 
 his son thy righteousness. 
 
 2 With right he shall thy people judge, 
 
 thy poor with uprightness. 
 
 3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth 
 
 unto the people peace; 
 Likewise the little hills the same 
 shall do, by righteousness. 
 
 4 The people's poor ones he shall judge, 
 
 the needy's children save; 
 And those shall he in pieces break 
 who them oppressed have. 
 
 5 They shall thee fear, while sun and 
 
 moon 
 do last, through ages all. 
 G Like rain on mown grass he shall drop, 
 Or show'rs on earth that fall. 
 
 7 The just shall flourish in his days, 
 
 and prosper in his reign : 
 He shall, while doth the moon endure, 
 abundant peace maintain. 
 
 8 His large and great dominions shall 
 
 from sea to sea extend; 
 It from the river shall reach forth 
 unto earth's utmost end. 
 
 9 They in the wilderness that dwell 
 
 bow down before him must; 
 And they that are his enemies 
 shall lick the very dust. 
 
PSALMS 72—73. 
 
 75 
 
 10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, 
 
 to him shall presents bring; 
 And unto him shall offer gifts 
 Sheba's and Seba's king. 
 
 11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth 
 
 before him down shall fall; 
 And all the nations of the world 
 do service to him shall. 
 
 12 For he the needy shall preserve, 
 
 when he to him doth call; 
 The poor also, and him that hath 
 no help of man at all. 
 
 13 The poor man and the indigent 
 
 in mercy he shall spare; 
 He shall preserve alive the souls 
 of those that needy are. 
 
 14 Both from deceit and violence 
 
 theirsoulshe shall set free; 
 And in his sight right precious 
 and dear their blood shall be. 
 
 15 Yea, he shall live, and giv'n to him 
 
 shall be of Sheba's gold : 
 For him still shall they pray, and he 
 shall daily be extoil'd. 
 
 16 Of corn an handful in the earth 
 
 on tops of mountains high, 
 With prosp'rous fruit shall shake, like 
 trees 
 On Lebanon that be : 
 
 The city shall be flourishing, 
 
 her citizens abound 
 In number shall, like to the grass 
 
 that grows upon the ground. 
 
 17 His name forever shall endure; 
 
 last like the sun it shall : 
 Men shall be blest in him, and bless'd 
 all nations shall him call. 
 
 l£ Now blessed be the Lord our God, 
 the God of Israel, 
 For he alone doth wondrous works, 
 in glory that excel. 
 
 19 And blessed be his glorious name 
 to all eternity: 
 The whole earth let his glory fill. 
 Amen, so let it be. 
 
 20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse 
 are ended. 
 
 Psalm LXXIII. 
 
 1 Yet God is good to Israel, 
 
 to each pure-hearted oner 
 
 2 But as for me, my steps near slipp'd, 
 
 my feet were almost gone. 
 
 3 For I envious was, and grudg'd 
 
 the foolish folk to see, 
 When 1 perceiv'd the wicked sort 
 enjoy prosperity. 
 
 4 For still their strength continueth firm, 
 
 their death of bands is free. 
 
 5 They are not toil'd as other men; 
 
 nor plagu'd as others be. 
 
 6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain, 
 
 them compasseth about; 
 And, as a garment, violence 
 doth cover them throughout. 
 
 7 Their eyes stand out with fat; they have 
 
 more than their heart could wish. 
 
 8 They are corrupt; their talk of wrong 
 
 both lewd and lofty is. 
 
 9 They set their mouth against the 
 
 heav'ns 
 in their blasphemous talk; 
 And their reproaching tongue throughout 
 the earth at large doth walk. 
 
 10 His people oftentimes for this 
 
 look back, and turn about; 
 Since waters of so full a cup 
 to these are poured out: 
 
 11 And thus they say, How can it be 
 
 That God these things doth know? 
 Or, can there in the Highest be 
 knowledge of things below ? 
 
 12 Behold, these are the wicked ones, 
 
 yet prosper at their will 
 In worldly things; they do increase 
 in wealth and riches still. 
 
 13 I, verily, have done in vain 
 
 my heart to purify; 
 To no effect in innocence 
 washed my hands have I. 
 
 14 For daily, and all day throughout, 
 
 great plagues I suffer'd have; 
 Yea, ev'ry morning I of new 
 did chastisement receive. 
 
 15 If in this manner foolishly 
 
 to speak I would intend, 
 
 Thy children's generation, 
 
 behold, I should offend. 
 
76 
 
 PSALMS 73—7 4—75—76. 
 
 16 When I this thought to know, it was 
 
 too hard a thing forme : 
 
 17 Till to God's sanctu'ry I went; 
 
 then I their end did see. 
 
 J 8 Assuredly thou didst them set 
 a slipp'ry place upon; 
 Them suddenly thou castest down 
 into destruction. 
 
 19 How in a moment, suddenly 
 
 to ruin brought are they ! 
 
 With fearful terrors utterly 
 
 they are consum'd away. 
 
 20 Ev'n like unto a dream, when one 
 
 from sleeping doth arise; 
 So thon, O Lord, when thou awak'st, 
 their image shalt despise. 
 
 21 Thus grieved was my heart in m*, 
 
 and me my reins opprest. 
 
 22 So rude was I and ignorant, 
 
 and in thy sight a beast. 
 
 23 Nevertheless, continually, 
 
 O Lord, I am with thee : 
 
 Thou dost me hold by my right hand, 
 and still upholdest me. 
 
 24 Thou with thy counsel, while I live, 
 
 wilt me conduct and guide; 
 And to thy glory afterward 
 receive me to abide. 
 
 25 Whom have I in the heavens high 
 
 but thee, O Lord, alone ? 
 And in the earth, whom I desire 
 beside thee, there is none. 
 
 2G My flesh and heart doth faint and fail, 
 but God doth fail me never; 
 For of my heart God is the strength, 
 and portion forever. 
 
 27 For lo, they that are far from thee 
 
 forever perish shall : 
 Them that a whoring from thee go 
 thou hast destroyed all. 
 
 28 But surely it is good for me 
 
 that I draw near to God : 
 In God I trust, that all thy works 
 I may declare abroad.

 Psalm LXXIV. 
 
 1 O God, why hast thou cast us off? 
 
 is it for evermore ? 
 Against thy pasture-sheep why doth 
 thine anger smoke so sore ? 
 
 2 O call to thy remembrance 
 
 thy congregation, 
 Which thou hast purchased of old; 
 still think the same upon : 
 
 The rod of thine inheritance, 
 which thou redeemed hast, 
 
 This Zion hill, wherein thou hadst 
 thy dwelling in times past. 
 
 3 To these long desolations 
 
 thy feet lift, do not tarry; 
 For all the ills thy foes have done 
 within thy sanctuary. 
 
 4 Amidst thy congregations 
 
 thine enemies do roar :- 
 Their ensigns they set up for signs 
 of triumph thee before. 
 
 5 A man was famous, and was had 
 
 in estimation, 
 According as he lifted up 
 his ax thick trees upon: 
 
 6 But all at once with axes now 
 
 and hammers they go to, 
 And down the carved work thereof 
 they break, and quite undo. 
 
 7 They fired have thy sanctuary, 
 
 and have defiled the same, 
 By casting down unto the ground 
 the place where dwelt thy name. 
 
 8 Thus said they in their hearts, Let us 
 
 destroy them out of hand : 
 They burnt up all the synagogues 
 of God within the land. 
 
 9 Our signs we do not now behold; # 
 
 there is not us among 
 A prophet more, nor any one 
 that knows the time how long. 
 
 10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy 
 
 thus in reproach exclaim 1 
 And shall the adversary thus 
 always blaspheme thy name ? 
 
 11 Thy hand, ev'n thy right hand of might, 
 
 why dost thou thus draw back ? 
 O from thy bosom pluck it out, 
 for our deliv'rance sake. 
 
 12 For certainly God is my king, 
 
 ev'n from the times of old; 
 Working in midst of all the earth 
 salvation manifold. 
 
 13 The sea, by thy great pow'r, to part 
 
 asunder thou didst make; 
 And thou the dragons' heads, O Lord, 
 within the waters break. 
 
 14 The leviathan's head thou brak'st 
 
 in pieces, and didst give 
 
 Him to be meat unto the folk 
 
 in wilderness that live. 
 
 15 Thou clav'st the fountain and the flood, 
 
 which did with streams abound : 
 Thou dri'dst the mighty waters up 
 unto the very ground. 
 
78 
 
 PSALMS 75—76. 
 
 16 Thine only is the day, O Lord, 
 
 Thine also is the night ; 
 
 And thou alone prepared hast 
 
 the sun and shining light. 
 
 17 By thee the borders of the earth 
 
 were settled ev'ry where: 
 The summer and the winter both 
 by thee created were. 
 
 18 That th' enemy reproached hath, 
 
 O keep it in record; 
 And that the foolish people have 
 blasphem'd thy name, O Lord. 
 
 19 Unto the multitude do not 
 
 thy turtle's soul deliver : 
 The congregation of thy poor 
 do not forget forever. 
 
 20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect; 
 
 for earth's dark places be 
 Full of the habitations 
 of horrid cruelty. 
 
 21 O let not those that be oppress'd 
 ; return again with shame : 
 
 Let those that poor and needy are 
 give praise unto thy name. 
 
 22 Do thou, O God, arise, and plead 
 
 the cause that is thine own : 
 Remember how thou art reproach'd 
 still by the foolish one. 
 
 23 Do not forget the voice of those 
 
 that are thine enemies : 
 Of those the tumult ever grows 
 that do against thee rise. 
 
 Psalm LXXV. 
 
 1 To thee, O God, do we give thanks, 
 
 we do give thanks to thee; 
 Because thy wondrous works declare 
 thy great name near to be. 
 
 2 I purpose, when I shall receive 
 
 the congregation, 
 That I shall judgment uprightly 
 render to every one. 
 
 3 Dissolved is the land, with all 
 
 that in the same do dwell; 
 But I the pillars thereof do 
 bear up, and stablish well. 
 
 4 I to the foolish people said, 
 
 Do not deal foolishly; 
 And unto those that wicked are, 
 Liil not your horn on high. 
 
 5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak 
 C with stubborn neck. But know 
 That not from east, nor west, nor south, 
 promotion doth flow. 
 
 7 But God is judge; he puts down one, 
 
 and sets another up. 
 
 8 For in the hand of God most high 
 
 of red wine is a cup : 
 
 'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth, 
 
 and makes the wicked all 
 Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; 
 
 yea, and they drink them shall. 
 
 9 But I forever will declare, 
 
 1 Jacob's God will praise. 
 10 All horns of lewd men I'll cut off; ■ 
 but just men's horns will raise. 
 
 Psalm LXXVI. 
 
 1 In Judah's land God is well known: 
 
 his name's in Isr'el great. 
 
 2 In Salem is his tabernacle, 
 
 in Sion is his seat. 
 
 3 There arrows of the bow he brake, 
 
 the shield, the sword, the war. 
 
 4 More glorious thou than hills of prey, 
 
 more excellent art far. 
 
 5 Those that were stout of heart are, 
 
 spoil'd, 
 they slept their sleep outright; 
 And none of those their hands did find 
 that were the men of might. 
 
 6 When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, 
 
 had forth against them past, 
 Their horses and their chariots both 
 were in a dead sleep cast. 
 
 7 Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that shoufd 
 
 be fear'd; and who is he 
 That may stand up before thy sight, 
 if once thou angry be ? 
 
 8 From heav'n thou judgment cans'd bo 
 
 heard; 
 the earth was still with fear, 
 
 9 When God to judgment rose, to save 
 
 all meek on earth that were. 
 
 10 Surely the very wrath of man 
 unto thy praise redounds: 
 Thou to the remnant of his wrath 
 wilt set restraining bounds.

 Psalm LXXVII. 
 
 1 Unto the Lord, I with my voice, 
 
 I unto God did cry, 
 Ev'n with my voice; and unto me 
 his ear he did apply. 
 
 2 I in my trouble sought the Lord; 
 
 my sore by night did run, 
 And ceased not : my grieved soul 
 did cor solation shun. 
 
 3 I to remembrance God did call, 
 
 yet trouble did remain; 
 And overwhelm'd my spirit was, 
 while I did sore complain. 
 
 4 Mine eyes, debarr'd from rest and sleep 
 
 thou makest still to wake : 
 My trouble is so great, that I 
 unable am to speak. 
 
80 
 
 PSALMS 77—78. 
 
 5 The days of old to mind I call'd, 
 
 and oft did think upon 
 The times and ages that are past 
 full many years agone. 
 
 6 By night my song I call to rHind, 
 
 and commune with my heart; 
 My sp'rit did carefully inquire 
 how 1 might ease my smart. 
 
 7 Forever will the Lord cast off, 
 
 and gracious be no more ? 
 
 8 Forever is his mercy gone ? 
 
 fails his word evermore ? 
 
 1) Is't true, that to be gracious 
 
 the Lord forgotten hath 1 
 
 And that his tender mercies he 
 
 hath shut up in his wrath 1 
 
 10 Then did L say, That surely this 
 
 is mine infirmity : 
 I'll mind the years of the right hand 
 of him that is most High. 
 
 11 Yea, I remember will the works 
 
 performed by the Lord : 
 The wonders done of old by thee 
 I surely will record. 
 
 12 I also will of all thy works 
 
 my meditation make; 
 And of thy doings to discourse 
 great pleasure I will take. 
 
 13 O God, thy way most holy is 
 
 within thy sanctu'ry; 
 And what God is so great in pow'r 
 as is our God most high ? 
 
 14 Thou art the God that wonders do'st 
 
 by thy right hand most strong : 
 Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd 
 the nations among. 
 
 15 To thine own people with thine arm 
 
 thou didst redemption bring; 
 To Jacob's son*, and to the tribes 
 of Joseph that do spring. 
 
 16 The water-. Lor!, perceived thee, 
 
 the waters saw thee well: 
 And they for fear aside did flee 
 
 the depths on trembling fell. 
 
 17 The clouds in writers forth were pour'd, 
 
 sound loudly did the sky ; 
 And swiftly through the world abroad 
 thine arrows fierce did fly. 
 
 18 Thy thunder's voice along the heav'n 
 
 n mighty nejea did make : 
 
 By lightnings lightened was the world ; 
 th' earth tremble did and shake. 
 
 19 Thy way is in the sea, and in 
 
 the waters great thy path; 
 Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord; 
 none knowledge thereof hath. 
 
 20 Thy people thou didst safely lead, 
 
 like to a flock of sheep; 
 By Moses' hand, and Aaron's, thou 
 didst them conduct and keep. 
 
 Psalm LXXVIII. 
 
 1 Attend, my people, to my law; 
 
 thereto give thou an ear : 
 The words that from my mouth proceed, 
 attentively do hear. 
 
 2 My mouth shall speak a parable, 
 
 and sayings dark of old; 
 
 3 The same which we have heard and 
 
 known, 
 and us our fathers told. 
 
 4 We also will them not conceal 
 
 from their posterity; 
 Them to the generation 
 to come declare will we : 
 
 The praises of the Lord our God, 
 
 and his almighty strength, 
 The wondrous works that he hath done, 
 
 we will show forth at length. 
 
 5 His testimony and his law 
 
 in Isr'el he did place, 
 And charg'd our fathers it to show 
 to their succeeding race : 
 
 6 That so the race which was to come 
 
 might well them learn and know; 
 And sons unborn, who should arise, 
 might to their sons them show : 
 
 7 That they might set their hope in God, 
 
 and Miller no! to fall 
 His mighty works out of their mind, 
 but keep his precepts all : 
 
 8 And might not, like their fathers, be 
 
 a stiff, rebellious race; 
 A race not right in heart; with God 
 whose >.|>'iit not steadfast was. 
 
 9 The sons of Ephraim, who nor bows 
 
 nor other arms did lack, 
 When as the day of battle was, 
 they faintly turned back. 
 
PSALM 78. 
 
 81 
 
 10 They brake God's cov'nant, and refus'd 
 
 in his commands to go : 
 
 11 His works and wonders they forgot, 
 
 which he to them did show. 
 
 12 Things marvelous he brought to pass, 
 
 their fathers them beheld, 
 Within the land ef Egypt done, ^ 
 yea, ev'n in Zoan's field. 
 
 13 By him divided was the sea, 
 
 he caus'd them through to pass; 
 And made the waters so to stand, 
 as like a heap it was. 
 
 14 With clond by day, with li<rht of fire 
 
 all night, he did them guide. 
 
 15 In desert rocks he clave, and drink, 
 
 as from great depths, supplied. 
 
 16 He from the rock brought streams, like 
 
 floods 
 made waters to run down. 
 
 17 Yet, sinning more, in desert they 
 
 provok'd the highest One, 
 
 18 For in their heart they tempted God, 
 
 and speaking with mistrust, 
 They greedily did meat require 
 to satisfy, their lust. 
 
 19 Against the Lord himself they spake, 
 
 and, murmuring, said thus, 
 A table in the wilderness 
 can God prepare for us ? 
 
 20 Behold, he smote the rock, and thence 
 
 came streams and waters great; 
 But can he give his people bread ? 
 and send them flesh to eat ? 
 
 21 The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth; 
 
 so kindled was a flame 
 'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israel 
 up indignntion came. 
 
 22 For they believ'd not God, nor trust 
 
 in his salvation had : 
 
 23 Though clouds above he did command, 
 
 and heaven's doors open made; 
 
 24 And manna rain'd on them, and gave 
 
 them corn of heav'n to eat. 
 
 25 Man angels' food did eat; to them 
 
 he to the full sent meat. 
 
 26 And in the heaven he did cause 
 
 an eastern wind to blow; 
 
 And by his power he let out 
 
 the southern wind to go. 
 
 27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made 
 
 to rain down them among; 
 And feather'd fowls, like as the sand 
 which lieth the shore along. 
 
 28 At his command, amidst their camp 
 
 these show'rs of flesh down fell, 
 All round about the tabernacles 
 and tents where they did dwell. 
 
 29 So did they eat abundantly, 
 
 and had of meat their fill; 
 For he did give to them what was 
 their own desire and will. 
 
 30 They from their lust had not estrang'd 
 
 their heart and their desire; 
 But while the meat was in their mouths, 
 which they did so require, 
 
 31 God's wrath upon them came, and slew 
 
 the fattest of them all; 
 So that the choice of Israel, 
 o'erthrown by death did fall. 
 
 32 Yet, notwithstanding of all this, 
 
 they sinned still the more; 
 And though he had great wonders 
 wrought, 
 believ'd him not therefore. 
 
 33 Wherefore their days in vanity 
 
 he did consume and waste; 
 And by his wrath their wretched years 
 away in trouble pass'd. 
 
 34 But when he slew them, then they did 
 
 to seek him show desire; 
 Yea, theyTeurn'd, and after God 
 right early did inquire. 
 
 35 And that the Lord had been their Rock 
 
 they did remember then; 
 Ev'n that the high almighty God 
 had their Redeemer been. 
 
 36 Yet with their mouth they flatter'd him, 
 
 and spake but feignedly : 
 And they unto the God of truth 
 with their false tongues did lie. 
 
 37 For though their words were good, their 
 
 heart 
 with him was not sincere : 
 Unsteadtast and perfidious 
 they in his cov'nant were. 
 
 38 But, full of pity, he forgave 
 
 their sin, them did not slay; 
 Nor stirr'd up all his wrath, but oft 
 his anijer tnrn'd away 
 
PSALM 78. . 
 
 39 For that they were but fading flesh 
 
 to mind he did recall; 
 A wind that passeth soon away, 
 and not returns at all. 
 
 40 How often did they him provoke 
 
 within the wilderness; 
 And in the desert did him grieve 
 with their rebelliousness ? 
 
 41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God, 
 
 and limits set upon 
 Him, who in midst of Isr'el is 
 the only holy One. 
 
 42 They did not call to mind his pow'r, 
 
 nor yet the day when he 
 Deliver'd them out of the hand 
 of their fierce enemy. 
 
 43 Nor how great signs in Egypt land 
 
 he openly had wronght; 
 What miracles in Zoan's field 
 his hand to pass had brought. 
 
 44 How lakes and rivers ev'rywhere 
 
 he turned into blood; 
 So that no man nor beast could drink 
 of standing lake or flood. 
 
 45 He brought among them swarms of flies 
 
 which did them sore annoy; 
 And divers kinds of filthy frogs 
 he sent them to destroy. 
 
 46 He to the caterpillar gave 
 
 the fruits of all their soil : 
 Their labors he deliver'd up 
 unto the locusts' spoil. 
 
 47 Their wines with hail, their sycamores 
 
 he with the frost did blast. 
 
 48 Their beasts to hail he gave, their flocks 
 
 hot thunderbolts did waste. 
 
 49 Fierce burning wrath he on them cast, 
 
 and indignation strong, 
 And troubles sore, by sending forth 
 ill angels them among. 
 
 50 He to his wrath made way, their soul 
 
 from death he did not save; 
 But, over to the pestilence 
 the lives ofthem he gave. 
 
 51 In Egypt land the first-born all 
 
 he smote down ev'rywhere; 
 Among the tents of Ham, ev'n these 
 chief of their strength that were. 
 
 52 But his own people, like to sheep, 
 
 thence to go forth he made; 
 
 And he, amidst the wilderness, 
 
 them as a flock, did lead. 
 
 53 And he them safely on did lead, 
 
 so that they did not fear; 
 Whereas their en'mies by the sea 
 quite overwhelmed were. 
 
 54 To borders of his sanctuary 
 
 the Lord his people led, 
 Even to the mount which his right hand 
 for them had purchased. 
 
 55 The nations of Canaan, 
 
 by his Almighty hand, 
 Before their face he did expel 
 out of their native land : 
 
 Which for inheritance to them; 
 
 by line he did divide, 
 And made the tribes of Israel 
 
 within their tents abide. 
 
 56 Yet God most high they did provoke, 
 
 and tempted ever still ; 
 And to observe his testimonies 
 did not incline their will : 
 
 57 But, like their fathers, turned baok, 
 
 and dealt unfaithfully; 
 Aside they turned, like a bow 
 that shoots deceitfully. 
 
 58 For they to anger did provoke 
 
 him with their places high; 
 And with their graven images 
 mov'd him to jealousy. 
 
 59 When God heard this he waxed wroth 
 
 and much loathM Isr'el then : 
 
 60 So Shiloh's tent he left, the tent 
 
 which he had plac'd with men. 
 
 61 And he his strength delivered 
 
 into captivity : 
 He left his glory in the hand 
 of his proud enemy. 
 
 62 Hi* people aNo he srave o'er 
 
 unto the sword's fierce rage; 
 So sore his wratli inflamed was 
 against his heritage. 
 
 63 The fire consnm'd their choice young 
 
 men; 
 their maids no marriage had : 
 
 64 And when their priests fell by the 
 
 sword, 
 their wives no mourning made.

 65 But then the Lord ;trose, as one 
 
 that doth from sleep awake; 
 
 And like a giant that, by wine 
 
 refresh'd, a shout doth make. 
 
 66 Upon his en'mies' hinder parts 
 
 he made his stroke to fall; 
 And so upon them he did put 
 a shame perpetual. 
 
 67 Moreover, he the tabernacle 
 
 of Joseph did refuse; 
 The mighty tribe of Ephraim 
 he would in no wise choose : 
 
 68 But he selected Judah's tribe 
 
 to be the rest above; 
 And of mount Sion he made choice, 
 which he so much did love. 
 
 69 And he his sanctuary built 
 
 like to a palace high; 
 Like to the earth which he did found 
 to perpetuity. 
 
 70 Of David, that his servant was, 
 
 he also choice did make; 
 And even from the folds of sheep 
 was pleased him to take. 
 
 71 From waiting on the ewes with young, 
 
 he brought him forth to feed 
 Israel, his inheritance, 
 his people Jacob's seed 
 
 72 So after the integrity 
 
 he of his heart them fed ; 
 And by the good skill of his hands 
 them wisely governed.

 1 (J God, the heathen enter'd have 
 thine heritage; by them 
 Denied is thy bouse : on heap* 
 they laid Jerusalem. 
 
 U The bodies of thy servants they 
 have east forth to he meat 
 To rav'nons fowls : thy dear saints' 
 flesh 
 they gave to heasts to eat. 
 
 3 Their hlood about Jerusalem 
 
 like water they have shed : 
 And there was none to bury them 
 when they were slain and dead. 
 
 4 Unto our neighbors a reproach 
 
 most base become are we; 
 A scorn and laughing-stock to them 
 that round about us be. 
 
 5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last? 
 
 wilt thou still keep the same ? 
 And shall thy fervent jealousy 
 burn like unto a flame ? 
 
 6 On heathen pour thy fury forth, 
 
 that have thee never known, 
 And on those kingdoms whieh thy name 
 have never called upon. 
 
 7 For these are they who Jacob have 
 
 devoured cruelly; 
 And they his habitation 
 have caused waste to lie. 
 
 8 Against us mind not former sins : 
 
 thy tender mercies show; 
 
 Let them prevent us speedily; 
 
 for we're brought very low. 
 
 9 For thy name's glory help us, Lord, 
 
 who hast our JSaviour been : 
 Deliver us; for thy name's sake, 
 O purge away our sin. 
 
 10 Why say the heathen, Where's their 
 
 God? 
 let him to them be known, 
 W r hen those who shed thy servants' 
 blood 
 are in our sight o'erthrown. 
 
 11 let the pris'aer's sight Moond 
 
 before thy si<,dit on Mfh; 
 Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r 
 that are designM to die : 
 
 12 And to our neighbor's bosom cause 
 
 it sevenfold render'd be. 
 
 Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have, 
 O Lord, reproached thee. 
 
 13 So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep, 
 shall give tiiee thanks always ; 
 And onto generations all 
 
 we will show ibrth thy praise. 
 
 Psalm LXXX. 
 
 1 Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd, like a flock

 2 In Ephraim's and Benjamin's, 
 
 and in Manasseh's sight, 
 Ocome for our salvation,

 and upon us vouchsafe 
 To make thy countenance to shine, 
 and so we shall be safe. 
 
 4 O Lord of hosts, almighty God, 
 
 how long shall kindled be 
 Thy wrath against the prayer made 
 by thine own folk to thee ? 
 
 5 Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them 
 
 instead of bread to eat; 
 Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st 
 to them in measure great. 
 
 6 Thou makest us a strife unto 
 
 our neighbors round about; 
 Our enemies among themselves 
 at us do laugh and flout. 
 
 7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, 
 
 and upon us vouchsafe 
 To make thy countenance to shine, 
 and so we shall be safe. 
 
 8 A vine from Egypt brought thou hast, 
 
 by thine outstretched hand; 
 And thou the heathen out didst cast, 
 ^ to plant it in their land. 
 
 <> Before it thou a room didst make, 
 where it might grow and stand; 
 Thou eaasedst it deep root to take, 
 and it did fill the land. 
 
 10 The mountains vail'd were with its 
 
 shade 
 as with a covering; 
 Like goodly cedars were the boughs 
 which out from if did spring. 
 
PSALMS 80-81—82. 
 
 11 Upon the one hand to the sea 
 
 her boughs she did oat send, 
 On th' other side unto the flood 
 her branches did extend. 
 
 12 Why bast thou then thus hroken down 
 
 and ta'en her edge away; 
 
 So that all passengers do pluck, 
 
 and make of her a prey ? 
 
 13 The hoar, who from the forest comes 
 
 doth waste it at his pleasure; 
 The wild beast of the field also 
 devours it out of measure. 
 
 14 O God of hosts, we thee heseech, 
 
 return thou unto thine : 
 Look down from heav'n in love, behold, 
 and visit this thy vine; 
 
 15 This vineyard, which thine own rio-ht 
 
 hand 
 hath planted ns among, 
 And that same branch, which for thyself 
 thou hast made to be strong 
 
 16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire, 
 
 it also is cut down : 
 They utterly are perished 
 when as thy face doth frown. 
 
 17 O let thy hand he still upon 
 
 the Man of thy right hand, 
 The Son of man, whom for thyself 
 thou madest strong to stand. 
 
 18 So henceforth we will not go hack, 
 
 nor turn from thee at ali ; 
 
 O do thou quicken us, ami we 
 
 upon thv name will call. 
 
 19 Tan as again, Lord God of hosts, 
 
 and upon us vouchsafe 
 To make thy countenance to shine, 
 and so we shall be safe.

 6 His shoulder I from burdens took 
 
 his hands from pots did free. 
 
 7 Thou didst in trouble on me call.

 11 But j to my voice 
 
 would not attentive be; 
 And ev'n my chosen Israel 
 he would have none of me 
 
 12 So to the lust of their own hearts 
 
 I them delivered; 
 And then in counsels of their own 
 they vainly wandered. 
 
 13 O that my people had me heard, 
 
 Isr'el my ways had chose. 
 
 14 I had their en'mies soon subdu'd, 
 
 my hand turn'd on their foes.

 submission should have feignM : 
 But as for them, their time should have

 the earth to judgment call : 
 
 For thou, as thine inheritance, 
 
 shalt take the nations all. 
 
 Psalm LXXXIIL. 
 
 1 Keep not, O God, we thee entreat, 
 
 O keep not silence now : 
 Do thou not hold thy peace, O God, 
 and still no more he thou. 
 
 2 For, lo, thin enemies a noise 
 
 LnmnlVdnsly have made; 
 And they that haters ore of thee 
 have lifted up the head. 
 
 3 Against thy chosen people they 
 
 do crafty counsel take; 
 And they against thy hidden ones 
 do consultations make. 
 
 4 Come, let us cut them off, said they, 
 
 from being a nation; 
 That of the name of Isr'el may 
 no more be mention. 
 
 5 For with joint heart they plot; in league 
 
 against ihee they combine. 
 G The !ciit> of Edom, Ishma'lites; 
 
 Moab's and Hagar's line : 
 
 7 Gebal, and Amnion, Amalek, 
 
 Philistines, those of Tyre; 
 
 8 And Assur join'd with them: to help 
 
 Lot's children they conspire. 
 
 9 Do to them as to Midian; 
 
 Jahin at Kison strand; 
 
 10 And rfis'ra; which at Endor fell, 
 
 as dung to fat the land. 
 
 11 Like Oreb, and like Zeeb, make 
 
 their noble men to fall; 
 Like Zeba, and Zalmunna like, 
 make thou their princes all: 
 
 12 Who said, For our possession 
 
 let us God's houses take. 
 
 13 My God, them like a wheel, as chafT 
 
 before the wind, them make. 
 
 14 As fire consumes the wood, as flame 
 
 doth mountains set on fire; 
 
 15 Chase and affright them with the storm 
 
 and tempest of thine ire. 
 
 16 Their faces fill with shame, O Lord, 
 
 that they may seek thy name. 
 
 17 Let them confounded be, and vex'd, 
 
 and perish in their shame : 
 
 18 Tliat men may know that thou, to whom 
 
 alone doth appertain 
 The name JEHOVAH, dost most high 
 o'er all the earth remain.

 Psalm LXXXIV. 
 
 1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place, 
 
 O Lord of hosts, to me ! 
 The tabernacles of thy grace, 
 how pleasant, Lord, they be ! 
 
 2 My thirsty soul longs veh'mently, 
 
 yea, faints thy courts to see : 
 My very heart and flesh cry out, 
 O living God, for thee. 
 
 3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out 
 
 a house wherein to rest; 
 
 The swallow also for herself 
 
 hath purchased a nest; 
 
 Ev'n thine own altars, where she safe 
 her young ones forth may bring, 
 
 O thou almighty Lord of hosts, 
 who art my God and King. 
 
 4 Bless'd are they in thy house that dwell 
 
 they ever give thee praise. 
 
 5 Bless'd is the man whose strength thou 
 
 art 
 in whose heart are thy ways : 
 
 6 Who passing on through Baca's vale, 
 
 therein do dig up wells; 
 Also the rain that falleth down 
 the pools with water fills. 
 
 7 So they from strength unwearied go 
 
 still forward unto strength, 
 Until in Sion they appear 
 before the Lord at length. 
 
 8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear; 
 
 O Jacob's God, give ear. 
 
 9 See, God our Shield, look on the face 
 
 of thine anointed dear. 
 
 10 For in thy courts one day excels 
 
 a thousand; rather in 
 My God's house will I keep a door, 
 than dwell in tents of sin. 
 
 11 For God the Lord's a sun and shield: 
 
 he'll grace and glory give : 
 And will withhold no good from them 
 that uprightly do live. 
 
 12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, 
 
 that man is truly blest, 
 
 Who, by assured confidence, 
 
 on thee alone doth rest. 
 
 Psalm LXXXV. 
 
 1 O Lord, thou hast been favorable 
 
 to thy beloved land : 
 Jacob's captivity thou hast 
 recall'd with mighty hand, 
 
 2 Thou pardoned thy people hast 
 
 all their iniquities; 
 Thou all their trespasses and sins 
 hast cover'd from thine eyes. 
 
 3 Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst 
 
 from thy wrath's furiousness. 
 
 4 Turn us, God of our health, and cause 
 
 thy wrath 'gainst us to cease. 
 
 5 Shall thy displeasure thus endure 
 
 against us without end? 
 
 Wilt thou to generations all 
 
 thine anger forth extend 1 
 
 6 That in thee may thy people joy, 
 
 wilt thou not us revive ? 
 
 7 Show us thy mercy; Lord, to us 
 
 do thy Salvation give. 
 
88 
 
 PSALM 85—86. 
 
 8 I'll hear what God the Lord will speak: 
 
 to his folks h^'ll speak peai;e, 
 And to his saints; bat let them not 
 return to foolishness. 
 
 9 To them that fear him, surely near 
 
 is his salvation; 
 That glory in onr land may have 
 her habitation. 
 
 10 Truth met with mercy, righteousness 
 
 ami peace kissM mutually : 
 
 11 Truth springs from earth, and righteous- 
 
 ness 
 
 looks down from heaven high. 
 
 12 Yea, what is good the Lord shall give; 
 
 our land shall yield increase. 
 
 13 Justice, to set us in his steps, 
 
 shall go before his face. 
 
 Psalm LXXXVI. 
 
 1 O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear, 
 
 and hear me graciously; 
 Because I sore afflicted am, 
 and am in poverty. 
 
 2 Because I'm holy, let my soul 
 
 by thee preserved be : 
 O thou my God, thy servant save 
 that puts his trust in thee. 
 
 3 Since unto thee I daily cry, 
 
 be merciful to me. 
 
 4 Rejoice thy 'servant's soul; for, Lord, 
 
 I lift my soul to thee. 
 
 5 For thou art gracious, O Lord, 
 
 and ready to forgive; 
 And rich in mercy all that call 
 upon thee to relieve. 
 
 6 Hear, Lord, my pray'r; unto the voice 
 
 of my request attend. 
 
 7 In troublous time I'll call on thee; 
 
 for thou wilt answer send. 
 
 8 Lord, there is none among the gods 
 
 that may with thee compare; 
 
 And like the works which thou has* 
 done, 
 not any work is there. 
 
 9 All nations whom thou mad'st shall com 
 and worship rev'rently 
 Before thy face; and they, O Lord, 
 thy name shall glorify. 
 
 10 Because thou art exceeding great, 
 
 ami works by thee are done 
 Which are to be admir'd; and thon 
 art God thyself alone. 
 
 11 Teach me thy way, and in I hy truth, 
 
 O Lord, then walk will 1 : 
 Unite my heart, that I thy name 
 may fear continually. 
 
 12 O Lord my God, with all my heart 
 
 to thee I will give praise; 
 
 And 1 the glory will ascribe 
 
 unto thy name always : 
 
 13 Because thy mercy toward me 
 
 in greatness doth excel : 
 And thou deliver'd hast my soul 
 out from the lowest hell. 
 
 14 O God, the proud against me rise; 
 
 and vi'lent men have met, 
 That for my soul have sought; and thes 
 before them have not set. 
 
 15 But thou art full of pity, Lord, 
 
 a God most gracious; 
 Long-suffering, and in thy truth 
 and mercy plenteous. 
 
 16 O turn to me thy countenance, 
 
 and mercy on me have : 
 Thy servant strengthen, and the son 
 of thine own handmaid save. 
 
 17 Show me a sign for good; that tney 
 
 which do me hate may see, 
 And be asham'd; because thou, Lord, 
 didst help and comfort me.

 Psalm LXXXVII. 
 
 1 Upon the hills of holiness 
 
 he his foundation sets. 
 
 2 God more than Jacob's dwellings all, 
 
 delights in Sion's gates. 
 
 3 Things glorious are said of thee, 
 
 thou city of the Lord. 
 
 4 Rahab and Babel, I, to those 
 
 that know me, will record : 
 
 Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it 
 
 the land of Palestine, 
 And likewise Ethiopia : 
 
 this man was born therein. 
 
 5 And it of Sion shall be said, 
 
 This man and that man there 
 Was born; and he that is most High 
 himself shall 'stablish her. 
 
 6 When God the people writes, he'll count 
 
 that this man born was there. 
 
 7 There be that sing and play; and all 
 
 my well-springs in thee are. 
 
 Psalm LXXXVIII. 
 
 1 Lord God, my Saviour, day and night 
 
 before thee cried have I. 
 
 2 Before thee let my prayer come; 
 
 give ear unto my cry. 
 
 3 For troubles great do fill my soul, 
 
 my life draws nigh the grave. 
 
 4 I'm counted with those that go down 
 
 to pit; and no strength have. 
 
 5 Ev'n free among the dead, like them 
 
 that slain in grave do lie; 
 Cut off from thy hand, whom no more 
 thou hast in memory. 
 
90 
 
 PSALMS 88—89. 
 
 6 Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, 
 
 in deeps and darksome caves. 
 
 7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast 
 
 me press'i! with all thy waves. 
 
 8 Thou hast put far from me my friends, 
 
 Thou mad'st them to nhhor me; 
 And 1 am so shut up, that I 
 find no evasion for me. 
 
 9 By reason of affliction 
 
 mine eye mourns dolefully : 
 To thee, Lord, do I call, and stretch 
 my hands continually. 
 
 10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead ? 
 
 shall they rise, and thee bless ? 
 
 11 Shall in the grave thy love be told? 
 
 in death thy faithfulness 1 
 
 12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark, 
 
 or shall thy righteousness 
 Be known to any in the land 
 of deep forgetfulness? 
 
 13 But, Lord, to thee I cried; my pray'r 
 
 at morn prevent shall thee. 
 
 14 Why, Lord dost thou cast off my soul, 
 
 and hid'st thy face from me 1 
 
 15 Distress'd am I, and from my youth 
 
 I ready am to die; 
 Thy terrors 1 have borne, and am 
 distracted fearfully. 
 
 16 The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath 
 
 quite over me doth go : 
 Thy terrors great have cut me off, 
 they did pursue me so. 
 
 17 For round about me ev'ry day, 
 
 like water they did roll; 
 
 And gathering together, they 
 
 have compassed my soul. 
 
 18 My friends thou hast put far from me, 
 
 and him that did me love; 
 And those that mine acquaintance were 
 to darkness didst remove. 
 
 Psalm LXXX1X. 
 
 1 God's mercies I will ever sing; 
 
 and with my mouth I shall 
 Thy faithfulness make to be known 
 to generations all. 
 
 2 For mercy shall he built, said I, 
 
 forever to endure : 
 Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ni, 
 thou wilt establish sure. 
 
 3 I with my chosen One have made 
 
 a cov'nant graciously : 
 And to my servant, whom I lov'd, 
 to David sworn have I : 
 
 4 That I thy seed establish shall 
 
 forever to remain : 
 And will to generations all 
 thy throne build and maintain. 
 
 5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, 
 
 the heavens shall express; 
 And in the congregation 
 of saints, thy faithfulness. 
 
 6 For who in heaven with the Lord 
 
 may once himself compare ? 
 Who is like God among the sons 
 of these that mighty are 1 
 
 7 Great fear in meeting of the saints 
 
 is due unto the Lord; 
 And he of all about him should 
 with rev'rence be ador'd. 
 
 8 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, 
 
 what Lord in mightiness 
 Is like to thee 1 who compass 'd round 
 art with thy faithfulness. 
 
 9 Ev'n in the raging of the sea 
 
 thou over it dost reign; 
 And when the waves thereof do swell 
 thou stillest them again. 
 
 10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break, 
 
 like one that slaughter'd is; 
 And with thy mighty arm thou hast 
 dispers'd thine enemies. 
 
 11 The heavens are thine, thou for thine 
 
 own 
 the earth dost also take; 
 The world, and fullness of the same, 
 thy pow'r did found and make. 
 
 12 The north and south from thee alone 
 
 their first beginning had : 
 Both Tabor mount and Hermonhill 
 shall in thy name be glad. 
 
 13 Thou hast an arm that's full of pow'r, 
 
 thy hand is great in might; 
 And thy right hand exceedingly 
 exalted is in hight. 
 
 14 Justice and judgment of thy throne 
 
 are made the dwelling-place : 
 Mercv, accompanied with truth, 
 shall go before thy face. 
 
PSALM 89. 
 
 01 
 
 15 O greatly blets'd the people are 
 
 the joyful sound thai 
 In brightness of thy face, <) Lord, 
 
 they ever on shrill go. 
 
 16 They in thy name shall all the day 
 
 rejoice exceedingly; 
 
 And in thy righteousness shall they 
 exalted be on high. 
 
 17 Because the glory of their strength 
 
 doth only stand in thee; 
 And in thy favor shall our horn 
 and pow'r exalted be. 
 
 18 For God is our defense; and he 
 
 to us doth safety bring; 
 The holy One of Israel 
 is our Almighty King. 
 
 19 In vision to thy holy One 
 
 thou saidst, I help upon 
 A stron? one laid; out of the folk 
 I rais'd a chosen one. 
 
 20 Ev'n David, T have found him out 
 
 a servant unto me; 
 And with my holy oil, my king 
 anointed him to be. 
 
 21 With whom my hand shall 'stablish'd lie 
 
 mine arm shall make him strong. 
 
 22 On him the foe shall not exact, 
 
 nor son of michief wrong. 
 
 23 I will beat down before his face 
 
 all his malicious foes : 
 1 will them greatly plague, who do 
 with hatred him oppose. 
 
 24 My mercy and mv faithfulness 
 
 with him yet still shall be; 
 And in iny name his horn and pow'r 
 men shall exalted see. 
 
 25 His hand and pow'r shall reach afar, 
 
 I'll set it in the sea; 
 And his right hand established 
 shall in the rivers be. 
 
 26 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, 
 
 thou art my God alone; 
 And he shall say, Thou art the Rock 
 of my salvation. 
 
 27 I'll make him my first-born, more high 
 
 than kings of any land. 
 
 28 My love I'll ever keep for him, 
 
 my cov'nant fast shall stand. 
 
 •2'.) II is seed I by my now'r will make 
 forever to endure; 
 And, as the days of heav'n, his throne 
 shall stable be and sure. 
 
 30 But if his children shall forsake 
 
 my laws, and go astray, 
 And in my judgments shall not walk, 
 but wander from my way : 
 
 31 If they my laws break, and do not 
 
 keep my commandments; 
 
 32 I'll visit then their faults with rods; 
 
 their sins with chastisements. 
 
 33 Yet I'll not take my love from him, 
 
 nor false my promise make., 
 
 34 My cov'nant I'll not break, nor change 
 
 what with my mouth I spake. 
 
 35 Once bv my holiness I sware, 
 
 to David I'll not lie : 
 
 36 His seed and throne shall, as the sun, 
 
 before me last for aye. 
 
 37 It, like the moon, shall ever be 
 
 established steadfastly; 
 And like to that which in the heav'n 
 doth witness faithfully. 
 
 38 But thou, displeased, hast cast me off, 
 
 thou didst abhor and loathe; 
 With him that thine anointed is 
 thou has been very wroth. 
 
 39 Thou hast thy servant's covenant 
 
 made void, and quite cast by ; 
 Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it 
 cast on the ground doth lie. 
 
 40 Thou all his hedges hast broke down, 
 
 his strongholds down hast torn. 
 
 41 He to all passers-by a spoil, 
 
 to neighbors is a scorn. 
 
 42 Thou hast set up his foes' right hand, 
 
 mad'st all his en'mies glad : 
 
 43 Turn'd his sword's edge, and him to 
 
 stand 
 in battle hast not made. 
 
 44 His glory thou hast made to cease, 
 
 his throne to ground down cast : 
 
 45 Shortened his days of youth, and him 
 
 with shame thou cover'd hast. 
 
 46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself, 
 
 forever in thine ire ? 
 And shall thine indignation 
 burn like unto a fire 1 
 
92 
 
 PSALMS 80—9 0—91—92—9 31—94. 
 
 47 Remember, Lord, how short a time 
 
 I shall on earth remain : 
 O wherefore is it so, that thou 
 hast made all men in vain ? 
 
 48 What man is he that liveth here, 
 
 and death shall never see ? 
 Or from the power of the grave 
 what man his soul shall free ? 
 
 49 Thy former loving-kindnesses, 
 
 O Lord, where be they now ? 
 These which in truth and faithfulness 
 To David sworn hast thou ? 
 
 50 Mind, Lord, thy servant's sad reproach; 
 
 how 1 in bosom bear 
 The scornings of the people all, 
 who strong and mighty are : 
 
 51 Wherewith thy raging enemies 
 
 reproach'd, O Lord, think on; 
 Wherewith they have reproach'd the 
 steps 
 of thine anointed One. 
 
 52 All blessings to the Lord our God 
 
 let be ascribed then; 
 
 For evermore so let it be. 
 
 Amen, yea, and amen.

 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place 
 in generations all. 
 
 2 Before Ihou ever hailst brought forth 
 the mountains great or small; 
 
PSALMS 90—91. 
 
 93 
 
 Ere ever thou hndst form'd the earth, 
 
 and all the world abroad : 
 Ev'en thou from everlasting art 
 
 to everlasting God. 
 
 3 Thou dost unto destruction 
 
 man that is mortal turn; 
 And unto them thou say'st again, 
 Ye sons of men, return. 
 
 4 Because a thousand years appear 
 
 no more hefore thy sight 
 Than yesterday, when it is past, 
 or than a watch by night. 
 
 5 As with an overflowing flood 
 
 thou carriest them away; 
 They like a sleep are : like the grass 
 that grows at morn are they. 
 
 6 At morn it flourishes and grows : 
 
 cut down at ev'n doth fade. 
 
 7 For by thine anger we're consum'd, 
 
 thy wrath makes us afraid. 
 
 8 Our sins thou and iniquities 
 
 dost in thy presence place, 
 And sett'st our secret faults before 
 the brightness of thy face. 
 
 9 For in thine anger all our days 
 
 do pass on to an end; 
 And as a tale that hath been told, 
 so we our years do spend. 
 
 ^0 Threescore and ten years do sum up 
 our days and years we see; 
 Or if, by reason of more strength, 
 in some fourscore they be : 
 
 Yet doth the strength of such old men 
 but grief and labor prove; 
 
 For it is soon cut off, and we 
 fly henn^, and soon remove. 
 
 11 Who kv *e power of thy wrath 1 
 
 according to thy fear 
 13 So is thy wrath. Lord, teach thou us 
 
 our end in mind to bear; 
 
 And so to count our days, that we 
 our hearts may still apply 
 
 To learn thy wisdom and thy truth, 
 that we may live thereby. 
 
 13 Turn yet again to us, O Lord, 
 how long thus shall it be? 
 Let it repent thee now for those 
 that servants are to thee. 
 
 14 O with thy tender mercies, Lord, 
 
 us early satisfy; 
 So we rejoice shall all our days, 
 and still be glad in thee. 
 
 15 According as the days have been 
 
 wherein we grief have had, 
 And years wherein we ill have seen, 
 so do thou make us glad. 
 
 16 O let thy work and pow'r appear 
 
 thy servants' face before; 
 And show unto their children dear 
 thy glory evermore. 
 
 17 And let the beauty of the Lord 
 
 our God be us upon : 
 Our handy works establish thou, 
 establish them each one. 
 
 Psalm XCI. 
 
 1 He that doth in the secret place 
 
 of the most High reside, 
 
 Under the shade of him that is 
 
 th' Almighty, shall abide. 
 
 2 I of the Lord my God will say, 
 
 He is my refuge still, 
 He is my fortress, and my God, 
 and in him trust I will. 
 
 3 Assuredly he shall thee save, 
 
 and give deliverance 
 From subtile fowler's snare, and from 
 the noisome pestilence. 
 
 4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust 
 
 under his wings shall be : 
 His faithfulness shall be a shield 
 and buckler unto thee. 
 
 5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid 
 
 for terrors of the night, 
 Nor for the arrow that doth fly 
 by day, while it is light : 
 
 6 Nor for the pestilence that walks 
 
 in darkness secretly; 
 Nor for destruction, that doth waste 
 at noon-day openly. 
 
 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, 
 
 on thy right hand shall lie 
 Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee 
 it shall not once come nigh. 
 
 8 Only thou with thine eyes shalt look, 
 
 and a beholder be; 
 And thou therein the just reward 
 of wicked men shalt see.

 9 Because the Lord, who constantly 
 my refuge is alone, 
 Ev'n the in i«li: by thee 
 
 thy habitation: 
 
 10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come, 
 
 no ill shall thee he tall. 
 
 11 For thee to keep in all thy ways 
 
 his angels charge iie shall. 
 
 12 They in their hand shall hear thee up, 
 
 still waiting thee upon; 
 Lest thou at any time shouldst dash 
 thy foot against a stone. 
 
 13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread, 
 
 and on the lion strong; 
 Thy feet on dragons trample shall, 
 and on the lion's young. 
 
 14 Because on me he set his love, 
 
 I'll save and set him free : 
 Because my great name he hath known, 
 I will him set on high. 
 
 15 He'll call on me, I'll answer him; 
 
 I will be with him still 
 
 In trouble, to deliver him; 
 
 and honor him I will. 
 
 16 With length of days unto his mind, 
 
 I will him satisfy; 
 I also my salvation 
 
 will cause his eyes to see. 
 
 Psalm XCIL 
 
 1 To render thanks unto the Lord 
 
 it is a comely thing, 
 And to thy name, O thou most High, 
 due praise aloud to sing : 
 
 2 Thy loving-kindness to show forth, 
 
 when shines the morning light, 
 And to declare thy faithfulness 
 with pleasure ev'ry night. 
 
 3 On a ten-stringed instrument, 
 
 upon the psaltery; 
 And on the harp with solemn sound, 
 and grave sweet melody. 
 
 4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works 
 
 hast made my heart right glad; 
 
 And [ will triumph in the works 
 which by thine hands were made. 
 
 5 How great, Lord, are thy works ! each 
 
 thought 
 of thine a deep it is. 
 
 6 A brutish man it knoweth not; 
 
 fools understand not this. 
 
 7 When those that lewd and wicked are 
 
 spring quickly up like grass, 
 And workers of iniquity x. 
 
 do ilourish all apace; 
 
 It is that they forever may 
 destroyed be and slain : 
 
 8 But thou, O Lord, art the most High, 
 
 forever to remain. 
 
 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, 
 
 thine en'mies perish shall; 
 The workers of iniquity 
 shall be dispersed all. 
 
 10 But thou shalt, like unto the horn 
 
 of tli' unicorn, exalt 
 My horn on high : thou with fresh oil 
 anoint me also shall. 
 
 11 Mine eye shall also my desire 
 
 see on mine enemies; 
 Mine ears shall of the wicked hear, 
 that do against me rise. 
 
 12 But like the palm-tret flourishing 
 
 . shall be the righteous one : 
 He shall like to the cedar grow 
 that is in Lebanon. 
 
 13 Those that within the house of God 
 
 are planted by his grace, 
 They shall grow up and flourish all 
 in our God's holy place. 
 
 14 And in old age, when others fade, 
 
 they fruit still forth shall bring; 
 They shall be fat, and full of sap, 
 and aye be flourishing; 
 
 15 To show that upright is the Lord, 
 
 he is a rock to me; 
 And he from all unrighteousness 
 is altogether free. 
 
 Psalm XCIII. 
 
 1 The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he 
 
 with majesty most bright: 
 His works do show him cloth'd to be 
 and girt about with might : 
 
 The world is also V-tablished, 
 that it cannot depart. 
 
 2 Thy throne is lix'd of old, and thou 
 
 from everlasting art. 
 
 3 The floods, ( ) Lord, have lifted up, 
 
 they lifted up their voice; 
 The floods have lifted up their waves, 
 and made a mighty noise. 
 
PSALMS 93—94. 
 
 95 
 
 4 But yet the Lord, that is on high, 
 
 is more of might by far 
 Than noUe of many waters is, 
 or great sea-billows are. 
 
 5 Thy testimonies every one 
 
 in faithfulness excel; 
 And holiness forever, Lord, 
 thine house beeometh well. 
 
 Psalm XCIV. 
 
 1 O Lord Cod, unto whom alone 
 
 all vengpance doth belong; 
 O mighty God, who vengeance own'st, 
 shine forth, avenging wrong. 
 
 2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth 
 
 the sov'reign Judge that ajrt; 
 And unto those that are so proud 
 a due reward impart. 
 
 3 How long, O mighty God, shall they 
 
 who lewd and wicked be, 
 How long shall they who wicked are, 
 thus triumph haughtily ? 
 
 4 How long shall things most hard by them 
 
 be uttered and told ? 
 And all that work iniquity 
 to boast themselves be bold ? 
 
 5 Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord, 
 
 thine heritage oppress : 
 
 6 The widow they and stranger slay, 
 
 and kill the fatherless. 
 
 7 Yet say they, God it shall not see 
 
 nor God of Jacob know, 
 
 8 Ye brutish people ! understand : 
 
 fools ! when wise will ye grow ? 
 
 9 The Lord did plant the ear of man, » 
 
 and hear then shall not he ? 
 He only form'd the eye, and then 
 shall he not clearly see ? 
 
 10 He that the nations doth correct, 
 
 shall he not chastise you ? 
 He knowledge unto man doth teach, 
 and shall himself not know ? 
 
 11 Man's thoughts to be but vanity, 
 
 the Lord doth well discern. 
 
 J2 Bless'd is the man thou chast'nest, Lord, 
 and mak'st thy law to learn: 
 
 13 That thou may'st give him rest from 
 
 days 
 of sad adversity, 
 Until the pit be digg'd for those 
 that work iniquity. 
 
 14 For sure the Lord will not cast off 
 
 those that his people be, 
 
 Neither his own inheritance 
 
 quit and forsake will he. 
 
 15 But judgment unto righteousness 
 
 shall yet return again; 
 And all shall follow after it 
 that are right hearted men. 
 
 16 Who will rise up for me against 
 
 those that do wickedly; 
 Who will stand up for me 'gainst those 
 that work iniquity? 
 
 17 Unless the Lord had been my help 
 
 when I was sore opprest, 
 Almost my soul had in the house 
 of silence been at rest. # 
 
 18 When I hail uttered this word, 
 
 My foot doth slip away; 
 Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, 
 thy goodness did me stay. 
 
 19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts 
 
 which in my heart do fight, 
 My soul, lest it be overcharg'd, 
 thy comforts do delight. 
 
 20 Shall of iniquity the throne 
 
 have fellowship with thee, 
 Which mischief, cunningly contriv'd, 
 doth by a law decree ? 
 
 21 Against the righteous souls they join, 
 
 they guiltless blood condemn. 
 
 22 But of my refuge God's the rock, 
 
 and my defense from them. 
 
 23 On them their own iniquity 
 
 the Lord shall bring and lay, 
 
 And cut them off in their own sin; 
 
 our Lord God shall them slay.

 come let us ev'ry one, 
 A joyful noise make to the rock 
 of our salvation. 
 
 2 Let us before his presence come 
 
 with prai>e and thankful voire; 
 Let us sing psalms to him with grace, 
 and make a joyful noise. 
 
 3 For (Jod. n great God, and great king 
 
 above all gods he is. 
 
 4 Depths of the earth are in his hand;

 of his o\\ n pasture are, 
 And of his hand the sheep; to-day 
 if ye his voice will hear. 
 
 8 Then harden not your hearts, as in 
 
 the provocation, 
 As in the desert, on the day 
 of the temptation :

 I said, This people errs in heart,

 Psalm XCVI. 
 
 1 O sing a new song to the Lor.* ; 
 
 sing all the eartSi to Got. 
 
 2 To God sing, bless his name; show still 
 
 his saving health abroad. 
 
 3 Among the heathen nations 
 
 his glory do declare; 
 And unto all the people show 
 his works that wondrous are. 
 
 4 For great's the Lord, and greatly he 
 
 is to be magnified; 
 
 Yea, worthy to be fear'd is he 
 above all gods beside. 
 
 5 For all the gods are idols dumb, 
 
 which blinded nations fear; 
 But our God is the Lord, by whom 
 the heav'ns created were. 
 
 6 Great honor is before his face, 
 
 and majesty divine; 
 Strength is within his holy place, 
 and there doth beauty shine. 
 
 7 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord, 
 
 of people ev'ry tribe, 
 Glory do ye unto the Lord 
 and mighty pow'r ascribe. 
 
 8 Give ye the glory to the Lord 
 
 that to his name is due : 
 Come ye into his courts, and bring 
 an offering with you. 
 
 9 In beauty of his holiness, 
 
 O do the Lord adore; 
 Likewise let all the earth throughout . 
 tremble his face before. 
 
 10 Among the heathen say, God reigns; 
 
 the world shall steadfastly 
 Be fix'd from moving; he shall judge 
 the people righteously. 
 
 11 Let heav'ns be glad before the Lord, 
 
 and let the earth rejoice; 
 Let seas, and all that is therein, 
 cry out, and make a noise. 
 
 12 Let fields rejoice, and everything 
 
 that ipringcth of the earth; 
 Then woods and ev'ry tree shall sing 
 with gladness and with mirth 
 
 13 Before the Lord; because he comes, 
 to judge the earth comes he : 
 He'll judge the world with righteousness, 
 the people faithfully. 
 
 Psalm XCVII. 
 
 1 GoDreigneth, let the earih be glad, 
 
 and i>les rejoice each one. , 
 
 2 Dark clouds him compass; and in right 
 
 with judgment dwells his throne. 
 
 3 Fire goes before him, and his foes 
 
 it burns up round about; 
 
 4 His lightnings lighten did the world; 
 
 earth saw and shook throughout. 
 
 5 Hills at the presence of the Lord, 
 
 like wax did melt away; 
 Ev'n at the presence of the Lord 
 of all the earth, 1 say, 
 
 6 The heav'ns declare his right'ousness, 
 
 all men his glory see. 
 
 7 All who serve graven images, 
 
 confounded let them be; 
 
 Who do of idols boast themselves, 
 
 let shame upon them fall : 
 Ye that are called gods, see^that 
 
 ye do him worship all. 
 
 8 Sion did hear, and joyful was, 
 
 glad Judah's daughters were; 
 They much rejoic'd, O Lord, because 
 thy judgments did appear. 
 
 9 For thou, O Lord, art high above 
 
 all things on earth that are; 
 Above all other gods thou art 
 exalted very far. 
 
 10 Hate ill, all ye that love the Lord : 
 
 his saints' souls keepeth he; 
 And from the hands of wicked men 
 he sets them safe and free. 
 
 11 For all those that be righteous 
 
 sown is ajoyful light, 
 And gladness sown is for all those 
 that are in heart upright. 
 
 12 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; 
 
 express your thankfulness, 
 When ye into your memory 
 do call his holiness.

 2 The Lord God his salvation

 His justice in the heathen's sight 
 he openly hath shown. 
 
 3 He mindful of his grace and truth 
 
 to Isr'el's house hath been; 
 And the salvation of our Go:l 
 all ends of th' earth have seen. 
 
 4 Let all the earth unto the Lord 
 
 send forth a joyful noise : 
 Lift up your voice aloud to him, 
 sing praises, and rejoice. 
 
 5 With harp, with harp, and voice of 
 
 psalms, 
 unto JEHOVAH sing: 
 
 6 With trumpets, comets, gladly sound 
 
 before the Lord the King. 
 
 7 Let seas and all their fullness roar, 
 
 the world, and dwellers there; 
 8JLet floods clap hands, and let the hills 
 together joy declare, 
 
 9 Before the Lord; because he comes, 
 to judge the earth comes he : 
 He'll judge the world with righteousness 
 his folk with equity. 
 
 Psalm XCIX. 
 
 1 Th' eternal Lord doth reign as King : 
 let all the people quake : 
 He sits between the cherubims, 
 let th' eafth be mov'd and shake . 
 
 2 The Lord in Zion great and high 
 
 above all people is : 
 
 3 Thy great and dreadful name (for it 
 
 is holy) let them bless. 
 
 4 The King's strength also judgment loves; 
 
 thou settlest equity : 
 Just judgment thou dost execute 
 in Jacob righteously. 
 
 5 The Lord our God exalt on high, 
 
 and rev'rently do ye 
 Before his footstool worship him: 
 the holy One is he. 
 
 6 Moses and Aaron 'mong his priests, 
 
 Samuel, with them that call 
 Upon his name : these call'd on God, 
 and he them answered all. 
 
 7 Within the pillar of the cloud 
 
 he unto them did speak : 
 The testimonies he them taught, 
 and laws, they did not break. 
 
 8 Thou answer'dst them, O Lord our God: 
 
 thou wast a God that gave 
 Pardon to them, though on their deedt 
 thou wou^dst vengeance have. 
 
 9 Do ye exalt the Lord our God, 
 
 and at his holy hill 
 Do ye him worship : for the Lora 
 our God is holy still.

 I hate their work that turn aside;

 Psalm CII. 
 
 1 O Lord, unto my pray'r give ear, 
 
 my cry let come to thee; 
 
 2 And in the day of my distress 
 
 hide not thy face from me; 
 
 Give ear to me : what time I call, 
 to answer me make haste. 
 
 3 For, as an hearth, my bones are burnt, 
 
 my days like smoke do waste. 
 
 4 My heart within me smitten is, 
 
 and it is withered 
 Like very grass : so that I do 
 forget to eat my bread. 
 
 5 By reason of my groaning voice 
 
 my bones cleave to my skin. 
 
 6 Like pelican in wilderness, 
 
 forsaken J have been : 
 
 I like an owl in desert am, 
 that nightly there doth moan. 
 
 7 I watch, and like a sparrow am 
 
 on the house-top alone. 
 
 8 My bitter en'mies all the day 
 
 reproaches cast on me; 
 And, being mad at me, with rage 
 against me sworn they be. 
 
 9 Because I ashes eaten have 
 
 like bread, in sorrows deep : 
 
 My drink I also mingled have 
 
 with tears that I did weep. 
 
 10 Thy wrath and indignation 
 
 did cause this grief and pain; 
 For thou hast lift' me up on high, 
 and cast me down again. 
 
 11 My days are like unto a shade, 
 
 which doth declining past; 
 
 And I am dried and withered, 
 ev'n like unto the grass. 
 
 12 But thou, Lord, everlasting art, 
 
 and thy remembrance shall 
 Continually endure, and be 
 to generations all. 
 
 13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy have 
 
 upon thy Zion yet; 
 The time to favor her is come, 
 the time that thou hast set. 
 
 14 For in her rubbish and her stones 
 
 thy servants pleasure take; 
 Yea, they the very dust thereof 
 do favor for her sake. 
 
 15 So shall the heathen people fear 
 
 the Lord's most holy name: 
 And all the kings on earth shall dread 
 thy glory and thy fame. 
 
 16 When Zion by the mighty Lord 
 
 built up aw.'iin shall be, 
 
 In glory then and majesty 
 
 to men appear shall he. 
 
 17 The prayer of the destitute 
 
 he surely will regard; 
 Their prayer will he not despise, 
 by him it shall be heard. 
 
 18 For generations yet to come 
 
 this shall be on record : 
 So shall the people that shall be 
 created, praise the Lord. 
 
 19 He from his sanctuary's hi^ht 
 
 hath downward east his eye; 
 And from his glorious throne in heav'n 
 the Lord the earth did spy; 
 
 20 That of the mournful prisoner 
 
 the groanings he might bear, 
 To set them free that unto death 
 by men appointed are: 
 
 21 That they in Zion may declare 
 
 the Lord's most holy name, 
 And publi>h in Jerusalem 
 the praises of the same; 
 
 22 When as the people gather shall 
 
 in troops with one accord, 
 When kingdoms shall assembled be 
 to serve the highest Lord.

 PSALM 102. 
 
 23 My wonted strength and force he hath 
 
 abated in the way; 
 And he my days hath shortened : 
 
 24 Thus therefore did I say, 
 
 My God, in mid-time of my days 
 
 take thou me not away : 
 From age to age eternally 
 
 thy years endure and stay. 
 
 25 The firm foundation of the earth 
 
 of old time thou hast hud : 
 The heavens also are the work 
 
 which thine own hands have made. 
 
 2G Thou shalt for evermore endure, 
 but they shall perish all; 
 Yea, ev'ry one of them wax old, 
 like to a garment, shall : 
 
 Thou, as a vesture, shalt them change, 
 and they shall changed be. 
 
 27 But thou the same art, and thy years 
 
 are to eternity. 
 
 28 The children of thy servants shall 
 
 continually endure; 
 And in thy sight, O Lord, their seed 
 shall be establish'd sure.

 SECOND VERSION. 
 
 1 Lord, hear mv pray'r, and let my cry 2 In day of my calamity 
 
 have speedy access unto thee; O hide not thou thy face from me ; 
 
PSALM 102. 
 
 103 
 
 Hear when I call to thee; that day 
 An answer speedily return. 
 
 3 My days, like smoke, consume away, 
 
 and, as an hearth, my bones do burn. 
 
 4 My heart is wounded very sore, 
 
 and withered, like grass doth fade : 
 I am forgetful grown therefore 
 to take and eat my daily bread. 
 
 5 By reason of my smart within, 
 
 and voice of my most grievous groans, 
 My flesh consumed is; my skin, 
 all parch'd, doth cleave unto my bones, 
 
 6 The pelican of wilderness, 
 
 the owl in desert, I do match : 
 
 7 And, sparrow-like, companionless, 
 
 upon the houses' top I watch. 
 
 8 I all day long am made a scorn, 
 
 reproach'd by my malicious foes; 
 
 The madmen are against me sworn, 
 
 the men against me that arose. 
 
 9 For I have ashes eaten up, 
 
 to me as if they had been bread; 
 And with my drink I in my cup 
 of bitter tears, a mixture made. 
 
 10 Because thy wrath was not appeas'd 
 
 and dreadful indignation : 
 Therefore it was that thou me rais'd, 
 and thou again didst cast me down. 
 i 
 
 11 My days are like a shade alway, 
 
 which doth declining swiftly pass; 
 And I am withered away, 
 
 much like unto the fading grass. 
 
 12 But thou, O Lord, shalt still endure, 
 
 from change and all mutation free; 
 And to all gpnerat.ions sure 
 
 Shall thy remembrance ever be. 
 
 13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet 
 
 thou to mount Zion shalt extend : 
 
 Her time for favor which was set, 
 behold is now come to an end. 
 
 14 Thy saints take pleasure in her stones, 
 
 her very dust to them is dear. 
 
 15 All heathen lands and kindly thrones, 
 
 on earth thy glorious name shall fear. 
 
 16 God in his glory shall appear, 
 
 when Zion he builds and repairs. 
 
 17 He shall regard and lend his ear 
 
 unto the needy's humble pray'rs; ' 
 
 Th' afflicted's pray'r he will not scorn. 
 
 18 Alltimes this shall be on record; 
 And generations yet unborn 
 
 Shall praise and magnify the Lord. 
 
 19 He from his holy place look'd down, 
 
 the earth he view'd from heav'n on 
 high; 
 
 20 To hear the pris'ner's mourning groan, 
 
 And free them that are doom'd'to die 2 
 
 21 That Zion, and Jerus'lem too, 
 
 his name and praise may well record; 
 
 22 When people and the kingdoms do 
 
 assemble all to praise the Lord. 
 
 23 My strength he weaken'd in the way; 
 
 my days of life are shortened. 
 
 24 My God, O take me not away 
 
 in mid-time of my days, I said : 
 
 Thy years throughout all ages last. 
 
 25 Of old thou hast established 
 
 The earth's foundation firm and fast: 
 thy mighty hands the heav'ns have 
 made. 
 
 26 They perish shall as garments do, 
 
 but thou shalt evermore endure : 
 As vestures thou shalt change them so, 
 and they shall all be changed sure. 
 
 27 But from all changes thou art free, 
 
 thy endless years do last for aye. 
 
 28 Thy servants, and their seed who be, 
 
 established shall before thee stay. 
 
104 DURHAM. CM. Ps. 103-104-105-106. 
 
 Psalm CIII. 
 
 1 G thou, my sou], bless God the Lord 
 
 and a)] that in me is 
 Be stirred up; his holy name 
 to magnify and bless. 
 
 2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God; 
 
 and not forgetful be 
 Of all his gracious benefits 
 he hath bestow'd on thee. 
 
 3 All thine iniquities who doth 
 
 most graciously forgive; 
 Who thy diseases all and pains 
 doth heal, and thee relieve : 
 
 4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou 
 
 to death maVsl not go down; 
 Who thee with loving-kindness doth 
 and tender mercies crown : 
 
 5 Who with abundance of good tilings 
 
 doth satisfy thy mouth; 
 
 So that, ev'n as the eagle's age, 
 renewed is thy youth. 
 
 6 God righteous judgment executes 
 
 for all oppressed ones. 
 
 7 His ways to Moses, he his acts 
 
 made known to Isr'el's sons. 
 
 8 The Lord our God is merciful, 
 
 and lie i- gracious, 
 Long-suffering, and slow to wrath, 
 in mercy plenteous. 
 
 9 He will not chide continually, 
 
 nor keep his anger still. 
 
 10 With os he dealt not as we sinn'd, 
 
 nor did requite our ill. 
 
 11 For as the heav'n in its hight 
 
 the earth surmonnteth far; 
 So great to those that do him fear 
 his tender mercies are; 
 
PSALMS 103—104. 
 
 lOf 
 
 12 As far as east is distant from 
 
 the west, so far hath he 
 From us removed, in his Jove 
 all our iniquity. 
 
 13 Such pity as a father hath 
 
 unto his children dear; 
 Like pity shows the Lord to such 
 as worship him in tear. 
 
 14 For he remembers we are dust, 
 
 and he our frame well kno 
 
 15 Frail man, his days are like the grass, 
 
 as flow'r in field he grows : 
 
 16 For over it the wind doth pass, 
 
 and it away is gone; 
 And of the place where once it was 
 it shall no more be known. 
 
 17 But unto them that do him fear 
 
 God's mercy never ends; 
 And to their children's children still 
 his righteousness extends : 
 
 18 To such as keep his covenant, 
 
 and mindful are alway 
 Of his most just commandments, 
 that they may them obey. 
 
 19 The Lord prepared hath his throne 
 
 in heavens firm to stand; 
 And ev'rything that being hath 
 his kingdom doth command. 
 
 20 O ye his angels, that excel 
 
 in strength, bless ye the Lord; 
 Ye who obey what he commands, 
 and hearken to his word. 
 
 21 O bless and magnify the Lord, 
 
 ye glorious hosts of his; 
 
 Ye ministers that do fulfill 
 
 whate'er his pleasure is. 
 
 22 O bless the Lord, all ye his works, 
 
 wherewith the world is stor'd 
 In his dominions ev'rywhere. 
 My soul, bless thou the Lord. 
 
 Psalm CIV. 
 
 1 Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God, 
 
 tnou art exceeding great; 
 
 With honor and with"maje'stv 
 
 thou clothed art in state. 
 
 2 With light, as with a robe, thyself 
 
 thou coverest about : 
 And like unto a curtain, thou 
 the heavens stretchest out. 
 
 3 Who of his r-hamber-- doth the beams 
 
 w"-iin the waters lay; 
 
 Who doth the clouds his chariot make, 
 on wing* of wind make way: 
 
 4 Who flaming fire his ministers, 
 
 his angers sp'rits doth make : 
 
 5 W ho earth's foundations did lay, 
 
 thac it should never shake, 
 fi Thou didst it cover with the deep, 
 as with a garment spread : 
 The waters stood above the hills 
 when thou the word but said. 
 ? But at the voice of thv rebuke 
 they tied, and would not stay; 
 They at thy thunder's dreadful voice 
 did haste them fast away. 
 
 8 They by the mountains do ascend. 
 
 and by the vallev -ground 
 Descend, unto that very place 
 which thou for them didst found. 
 
 9 Thou hast a bound unto them set, 
 
 that t hey may not pass over; 
 That they do not return again 
 the face of earth to cover. 
 
 10 He to the valleys sends the springs, 
 
 which run among the hills : 
 
 11 They to all beasts of field give drink 
 
 wild asses drink their fills. 
 
 I 12 By them the fowls of heav'n shall have 
 their habitation, 
 Which do among the branches sin ff 
 with delectation. 
 
 13 He from his chambers watereth 
 
 the hills when they are dried • 
 W ith fruit and increase of thy works 
 the earth is satisfied. 
 
 14 For cattle he makes grass to grow 
 
 he makes the herb to sprint ' 
 For th' use of man, that food°to him 
 he from the earth may bring : 
 
 15 And wine, that to the heart of man 
 
 doth cheerfulness impart, 
 Oil that his face makes shine, and bread 
 that strengtheneth his heart. 
 
 16 The trees of God are full of sap; 
 
 the cedars that do stand 
 In Lebanon, which planted were 
 by his almighty hand. 
 
 17 Birds of the air, upon their boughs 
 
 do choose their nests to make; 
 As for the stork, the fir-tree she ' 
 doth for her dwelling take. 
 
106 
 
 PSALftS 104—105. 
 
 18 The lofty mountains for wild goats 
 
 a place of refuge be; 
 The conies also to the rocks 
 do for their safety flee. 
 
 19 He sets the moon in heav'n, thereby 
 
 the seasons to discern : 
 From him the sun his certain time 
 of going down doth learn. 
 
 20 Thou darkness mak'st, 'tis night; then 
 
 beasts 
 of forests creep abroad. 
 
 21 The lions young roar for their prey, 
 
 and seek their meat from God. 
 
 22 The sun doth rise, and home they flock, 
 
 down in their dens they lie. 
 
 23 Man goes to work, his labor he 
 
 doth to the ev'ning ply. 
 
 24 How manifold, Lord, are thy works ! 
 
 in wisdom wonderful 
 Thou ev'ry one of them hast made; 
 earth's of thy riches full : 
 
 25 So is this great and spacious sea, 
 
 wherein things creeping are, 
 Which number'd cannot be; and beasts 
 both great and small are there. 
 
 26 There ships go; there thou mak'st to 
 
 play 
 that leviathan great. 
 
 27 These all wait on thee, that thou may'st 
 
 in dire time give them meat. 
 
 28 That which thou giT«lt unto them 
 
 they gather for their food; 
 Thine hand thou opeu'st lib'rally, 
 they tilled are with good. 
 
 29 Thou hid'st thy face, they troubled are, 
 
 their breath thou tak'st away; 
 Then do they die, and to their dust 
 return again do they. 
 
 30 Thy quick'ning Spirit thoa send'st forth, 
 
 then they created be; 
 And then the earth's decayed face 
 renewed is by thee. 
 
 31 The glory of the mighty Lord 
 
 continue thai! forever : 
 The Lord JEHOVAH -hall rejoice 
 in all his works together. 
 
 32 Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all 
 
 if he on it but look; 
 And if the mountains he but touch, 
 they presently do smoke. 
 
 33 I will sing to the Lord most high, 
 so long as I shall live; 
 And while I being have I shall 
 to my God praises give. 
 
 '.'A Of him my meditation shall 
 
 sweet thoughts to me afford; 
 And as for me, I will rejoice 
 in God, my only Lord. 
 
 35 From earth let sinners be consum'd, 
 let ill men no more be : 
 O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord. 
 Praise to the Lord give ye. 
 
 Psalm CV. 
 
 1 Give thanks to God ; call on his name : 
 
 to men his deeds make known. 
 
 2 Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim 
 
 his wondrous works each one. 
 
 3 See that ye in -his holy name 
 
 to glory do accord : 
 And let the heart of ev'ry one 
 rejoice that seeks the Lord. 
 
 4 The Lord almighty, and his strength, 
 
 with steadfast hearts seek ye : 
 His blessed and his gracious face 
 seek ye continually. 
 
 5 Think on the works that he hath done, 
 
 which admiration breed; 
 His wonders, and the judgments all 
 which from his mouth proceed. 
 
 6 O ye that are of Abram's race, 
 
 his servants well approv'n; 
 And ye that Jacob's children are, 
 whom he chose for his own. 
 
 7 Because he, and he only, is 
 
 the mighty Lord our God; 
 And his most righteous judgment* are 
 in all the earth abroad. 
 
 8 His cov'nant he remember'd hath, 
 
 that it may ever stand : 
 To thousand generations 
 the word he did command. 
 
 <) Which covenant he firmly made 
 witli faithful Abraham, 
 And unto Isaac, by his oath, 
 he did renew the same ; 
 
 10 And unto Jacob, for a law 
 he made it firm and sure, 
 A covenant to Israel, 
 
 which ever should endnrej 
 
PSALM 105. 
 
 107 
 
 11 He said, I'll give Canaan's land 
 
 for heritage to you. 
 
 12 While they were strangers there, and 
 
 few 
 in number, very few: 
 
 13 While yet they went from land to land, 
 
 without a sure abode; 
 And while, through sundry kingdoms, 
 they 
 did wander far abroad : 
 
 14 Yet notwithstanding sulfer'd he 
 
 no man to do them wrong; 
 Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove 
 kings, who were great and strong. 
 
 15 Thus did he say, Touch ye not those 
 
 that mine anointed be, 
 Nor do the prophets any harm 
 that do pertain to me. 
 
 16 He call'd for famine on the land, 
 
 he brake the staff of bread : 
 
 17 But yet he sent a man before, 
 
 by whom they should be fed; 
 
 Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rally 
 sell for a slave did they. 
 
 18 Whose feet with fetters they did%urt, 
 
 and he in irons lay; 
 
 19 Until the time that his word came 
 
 to give him liberty : 
 The word and purpose of the Lord 
 did him in prison try. 
 
 20 Then sent the king, and did command 
 
 that he enlarg'd should be : 
 He that the people's ruler was 
 did send to set him free. 
 
 21 A lord to rule his family 
 
 he rais'd him as most fit; 
 
 To him of all that he possess'd 
 
 he did the charge commit : 
 
 22 That he might at his pleasure bind 
 
 the princes of the land; 
 And he might teach his senators 
 wisdom to understand. 
 
 23 The people then of Israel 
 
 down into Egypt came; 
 
 And Jacob also sojourned 
 
 within the land of Ham. 
 
 24 And he did greatly by his pow'r 
 
 increase his people there; 
 And stronger than their enemies 
 they by his blessing were. 
 
 I 25 Their hearts he turned to envy 
 his folk maliciously, 
 With those that his own servants were 
 to deal in subtilty. 
 
 j 26 His servant Moses he did send; 
 Aaron his chosen one : 
 
 27 By these his signs and wonders great 
 
 in Ham's land were made known. 
 
 28 Darkness he sent, and made it dark; 
 
 his word they did obey. 
 
 29 He turn'd their waters into blood, 
 
 and he their fish did slay. 
 
 30 The land in plenty, brought forth frogs 
 
 in chambers of their kings. 
 
 31 His word all sorts of flies and lice 
 
 in all their borders brings. 
 
 32 He hail for rain, and flaming fire 
 
 into their land he sent : 
 
 33 And he their vines and fig-trees smote; 
 
 trees of their coast he rent. 
 
 34 He spake, and caterpillars came, 
 
 locusts did much abound; 
 
 35 Which in their land all herbs consum'dj 
 
 and all fruits of their ground. 
 
 36 He smote all first-born in their land; 
 
 chief of their strength each one. 
 
 37 With gold and silver brought them forth; 
 
 weak in their tribes were none. 
 
 38 Egypt was glad when forth they went; 
 
 their fear on them did light. 
 
 39 He spread a cloud for covering, 
 
 and fire to shine by night. 
 
 40 They ask'd, and he brought quails; with 
 
 bread 
 of heaven he filled them. 
 
 41 He open'd rocks, floods gush'd, and ran 
 
 in deserts like a stream. 
 
 42 For on his holy promise he, 
 
 and servant Abr'ham, thought. 
 
 43 With joy his people, his elect 
 
 with gladness, forth he brought. 
 
 44 And unto them the pleasant lands 
 
 he of the heathen gave; 
 That of the people's labor they 
 inheritance might have : 
 
 45 That they his statutes might observe 
 
 according to his word; 
 And that they might his laws obey. 
 Give praise unto the Lord. 
 
108 
 
 PSALM 106. 
 
 Psalm CVL 
 
 1 Give praise and thanks unto the .Lord, 
 
 for bountiful is he; 
 His tender mercy doth endure 
 unto eternity. 
 
 2 Cod's mighty works who can express ? 
 
 or show forth ail his praise ? 
 
 3 Blessed are they that judgment keep, 
 
 anil justly do always. 
 
 4 Remember me, Lord, with that love 
 
 which thou to thine dost bear; 
 With thy salvation, U my God, 
 to visit me draw near : 
 
 5 That I thy chosen's good may see, 
 
 and in their joy rejoice; 
 And may with thine inheritance 
 triumph with cheerful voice. 
 
 6 We with our fathers sinned have; 
 
 and of iniquity 
 Too long we have the workers been; 
 we have done wickedly. 
 
 7 The wonders great, which thou, O Lord 
 
 didst work in Egypt land, 
 Our fathers, though they saw, yet them 
 they did not understand : 
 
 And they thy mercies' multitude 
 
 kept not in memory, 
 But at the sea, ev'n the Red sea, 
 
 provok'd him grievously. 
 
 8 Nevertheless he sav'd them, 
 
 ev'n for his own name's sake; 
 That so he might to be well known 
 his mighty power make. 
 
 9 When he the Red sea did rebuke, 
 
 then dried up it was : 
 Through depths as through the wilder- 
 ness, 
 he safely made them pass. 
 
 10 From hands of those that hated them, 
 
 he did his people save : 
 And from tlie en'my's cruel hand 
 to them redemption gave. 
 
 11 The waters overwhelmed their foes; 
 
 not one was left alive. 
 
 12 Then they believ'd bit word, and praise 
 
 to him in son;.'.- did give. 
 
 13 But soon did they ljis mighty works 
 
 fi>rge( unt hank fully, 
 And on hi> ooontel and his will 
 ('•'! not wait patiently : 
 
 14 But much did lust in wilderness, 
 
 and God in desert tempt : 
 
 15 He gave them what they sought, but to 
 
 their soul be leanness sent. 
 
 10 And against Moses in the camp 
 their envy did appear; 
 At Aaron they, the saint of God, 
 envious also were 
 
 17 Therefore the earth did open wide, 
 
 and Dathan did devour, 
 
 And all Ahiram's company 
 
 did cover in that hour. 
 
 18 Likewise among their company 
 
 a fire was kindled then : 
 And so the hot consuming flame, 
 burnt up these wicked men. 
 
 19 Upon the hill of Horeb they 
 
 an idol-calf did frame, 
 A molten image they did make, 
 and worshiped the same. 
 
 20 And thus their glory, and their God, 
 
 most vainly changed they 
 Into the likeness of an ox 
 that eateth grass or hay. 
 
 21 They did forget the mighty God, 
 
 that had their Saviour been, 
 By whom such great things brought to 
 pass 
 they had in Egypt seen. 
 
 22 In Ham's land he did wondrous works; 
 
 things terrible did he, 
 When he his mighty hand and arm 
 stretched out at the Red Sea. 
 
 23 Then said he, He would them destroy, 
 
 had not, his wrath to stay, 
 His chosen .Moses stood in breach, 
 that them he should not slay. 
 
 24 Vea, they despis'd the pleasant land, 
 
 believed not his word : 
 
 25 But in their tent! they murmured, 
 
 not heark'ning to the Lord. 
 
 20 Therefore, in desert them to slay 
 he lifted up his hand : 
 
 27 'Mob* nations to oYrthrow their seed, 
 
 and scatter in each land. 
 
 28 They onto Baal-peor did 
 
 themselves associate; 
 
 The sacrifices of the dead 
 they did profanely eat. 
 
PSALMS 106 — 107. 
 
 109 
 
 29 Thus by their lc wa inventions, 
 
 they did provoke his ire; 
 
 And then upon them suddenly, 
 
 the plague broke in as fire. 
 
 30 Then Phin'has rose, and justice did; 
 
 and so the plague did cease : 
 
 31 That to all ages counted was 
 
 to him for righteousness. 
 
 32 And at the waters, where they strove, 
 
 they did him angry make, 
 
 In such sort, that it tared ill 
 
 with Moses for their sake : 
 
 33 Because they there his spirit meek 
 
 provoked bitterly, 
 So that he utter'd with his lips 
 words unadvisedly. 
 
 34 Nor as the Lord commanded them, 
 
 did they the nations slay : 
 
 35 But with the heathen mingled were, 
 
 and learned of them their way. 
 
 36 And they their idols serv'd; which did 
 
 a snare unto them turn. * 
 
 37 Their sons and daughters they to devils 
 
 in sacrifice did burn. 
 
 38 In their own children's guiltless blood 
 
 their hands they did im'brue, 
 Whom to Canaan's idols they 
 for sacrifices slew : 
 
 So was the land defil'd with blood. 
 
 39 They stain'd with their own way, 
 
 And with their own inventions 
 
 a whoring they did stray. 
 
 40 Against his people kindled was 
 
 the wrath of God therefore, 
 Insomuch that he did his own 
 inheritance abhor. 
 
 41 He gave them to the heathen's hand : 
 
 their foes did them command. 
 
 42 Their en'mies them oppress'd, they wer^ 
 
 made subject to their hand. 
 
 43 He many times deliver'd them ; 
 
 but with their counsel so 
 They him provok'd, that for their sin 
 they were brought very low. 
 
 44 Yet their affliction he beheld, 
 
 when he did hear their cry : 
 
 45 And he for them his covenant 
 
 did call to memory : 
 
 After his mercies' multitude 
 
 46 he did repent : And made 
 Them to be pitied of all those 
 
 who did them captive lead. 
 
 47 O Lord our God, us save, and gather 
 
 the heathen from afong, 
 That we thy holy name may praise 
 in a triumphant song. 
 
 48 Bless'd be JEHOVAH, Israel's God, 
 
 to all eternity: 
 Let all the people say, Amen. 
 Praise to the Lord give ye.

 1 Praise God for he is good : for still 
 
 his mercies lasting De. 
 
 2 Let God's redeem'd say so, whom he 
 
 from the en'my's hand did free : 
 
 3 And gathered them out of the lands, 
 
 from north, south, east, and west. 
 
 4 They stray'd in desert's pathless way, 
 
 no city found to rest. 
 
 5 For thirst and hunger in them faints 
 
 6 their soul. When straits them press, 
 They cry unto the Lord, and he 
 
 them frees from their distress. 
 
 7 Them also in a way to walk 
 
 that right is, he (lid guide, 
 
 That they might to a city go, 
 
 wherein they might abide. 
 
 8 O that men to the Lord would give 
 
 praise for his goodness then, 
 And for his works of wonder done 
 unto the sons of men ! 
 
 9 For he the soul that longing is 
 
 doth fully satisfy; 
 With goodness he the hungry soul 
 doth fill abundantly. 
 
 10 Such as shut up in darkness deep, 
 
 and in death's shade abide, 
 Whom strongly hath affliction bound 
 and irons fast have tied; 
 
 11 Because against the words of God 
 
 they wrought rcbelliously, 
 And they the counsel did contemn 
 of Him that is most High : 
 
 12 Their heart he did bring down with grief, 
 
 they fell, no help could have. 
 
 13 In trouble then they cried to God, 
 
 he them from straits did save. 
 
 14 He out of darkness did them bring, 
 
 and from death's shade them take : 
 Those bands wherewith they had been 
 bound 
 asunder quite he brake. 
 
 15 O that men to the Lord would give 
 
 praise for his goodness then, 
 And for his works of wonder done 
 unto the sons of men ! 
 
 16 Because the mighty gates of brasi 
 
 in pieces he did tear; 
 
 By him in sunder also cut 
 
 the bars of iron were. 
 
 17 Fools, for their sin and their offense, 
 
 do sore affliction bear : 
 
 18 All kinds of meat their soul abhors: 
 
 they to death's gates draw near. 
 
 19 In grief they cry to God ; he saves 
 
 them from their miseries. 
 
 20 He sends his word, them heals, and them 
 
 from his destruction frees. 
 
 21 O that men to the Lord would give 
 
 praise for his goodness then, 
 And for his works of wonder done 
 unto the sons of men ! 
 
 22 And let (hem sacrifice to him 
 
 ofPrings of thankfulness; 
 And let them show abroad his worki 
 in songs of joyfulness. 
 
PSALMS 107—108—109. 
 
 Ill 
 
 23 Who go to sea in ships, and in 
 
 great waters trading be; 
 
 24 Within the deep these men God's works 
 
 and his great wonders see. 
 
 25 For he commands, and forth in haste 
 
 the stormy tempest flies, 
 Which makes the sea with rolling waves 
 aloft to swell and rise. 
 
 26 They mount to heav'n, then to the 
 
 depths 
 they do go down again; 
 Their soul doth faint, and melt away, 
 with trouble and with pain. 
 
 27 They reel and stagger like one drunk, 
 
 at their wits' end they be : 
 
 28 Then they to God in trouble cry, 
 
 who them from straits doth free. 
 
 29 The storm is chang'd into a calm 
 
 at his command and will; 
 So that the waves which rag'd before, 
 now quiet are and still. 
 
 30 Then are they glad, because at rest 
 
 and quiet now they be; 
 So to the haven he them brings 
 which they desir'd to see. 
 
 31 O that men to the Lord would give 
 
 praise for his goodness then, 
 And for his works of wonder done 
 unto the sons of men ! 
 
 32 Among the people gathered, 
 
 let them exalt his name; 
 Among assembled elders spread 
 his most renowned fame. 
 
 33 He to dry land turns water-springs, 
 
 and floods to wilderness; 
 
 34 For sins of those that dwell therein 
 
 fat land to barrenness. 
 
 35 The burnt and parched wilderness 
 
 to water-pools he brings, 
 The ground that was dried up before 
 he turns to water-springs. ^ 
 
 36 And there, for dwelling, he a place 
 
 doth to the hungry give, 
 That they a city may prepare 
 commodiously to live : 
 
 37 There sow they fields, and vineyards 
 
 plant, 
 to yield fruits of increase. 
 
 38 His blessing makes them multiply, 
 
 lets not their beasts decrease. 
 
 39 Again they are diminished, 
 
 and very low brought down, 
 Through sorrow and affliction, 
 and great oppression. 
 
 40 He upon princes pours contempt, 
 
 and causeth them to stray, 
 And wander in a wilderness 
 wherein there is no way. 
 
 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high 
 
 from all his miseries; 
 And he, much like unto a flock, 
 doth make him families. 
 
 42 They that are right'ous shall rejoice 
 
 when the same shall see; 
 And, as ashamed, stop her mouth 
 shall all iniquity. 
 
 43 Whoso is wise, and will these things 
 
 observe, and them record, 
 Ev'n they shall understand the love 
 and kindness of the Lord.

 PSALM CVIII. 
 
 1 My heart is fix'd, Lord; I will sing, 
 
 and with my glory praise. 
 
 2 Awake up, psaltery and harp; 
 
 myself I'll early raise. 
 
 3 I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord; 
 
 'mong nations sin<: will I : 
 
 4 For above heav'n thy mercy's great, 
 
 thy truth doth reach the sky. 
 
 5 Be thoiv*bove the heav'ns, Lord, 
 
 exalted jdoriously; 
 Thy glory all the e;irth above 
 be lifted up on high; 
 
 6 That those who thy beloved are 
 
 delivered may he : 
 O do thou lave with thy right hand, 
 and answer give to me. 
 
 7 God in his holiness hath said, 
 
 herein 1 will take pleasure. 
 Shechem I will divide, an;l forth 
 will BncCOth*! valley measure. 
 
 8 Gilead I claim as mino by right; 
 
 Manasseh mine shall be; 
 
 Ephra'rn it of my head the strength; 
 
 Judah <;ivcs law for me : 
 
 9 Moab's my wash ing> pot; my shoe 
 
 I'll over I'. lorn throw : 
 
 Over the find of Palestine 
 I will in triumph go, 
 
 10 O who is be will bring me to 
 
 'v fortified ! 
 
 O who is he thai to the land 
 of Bdori) will me guide ? 
 
 11 O God, thou who hadst cast us off, 
 
 this thing wilt thou not do 1 
 And wilt not thou, even thou, O God, 
 forth with our armies go ? 
 
 12 Do thou from trouble give us help : 
 
 for helpless is man's aid. 
 
 13 Through God we shall do valiantly : 
 
 our foes he shall down tread. 
 
 Psalm CIX. 
 
 1 O thou the God of all my praise, 
 
 do thou not hold thy peace : 
 
 2 For mouths of wicked men to speak 
 
 against me do not cease : 
 
 The mouths of vile deceitful men 
 
 against me opened be ; 
 And with a false and lying tongue 
 
 they h:i\ e accused me. 
 
 3 They did beset me round about 
 
 with words of hateful spite; 
 And though to them no cause I gave, 
 
 ngainil me tl ey did tight. 
 
 4 They for my love became my foes : 
 
 hut I, me I01 to pray. 
 
 5 Evil lor good, hatred for love, 
 
 to me they did repay. 
 
 Set thou the -wicked over him: 
 and upon hie right hand 
 Give thou In greateel enemy, 
 ev'n Satan, leave to stand. 
 
PSALM 109. 
 
 113 
 
 7 And when by thee he shall bejudg'd, 
 
 let him condemned he; 
 And let his prayer be turn'd to sin, 
 when he rfhafl call on thee. 
 
 8 Few be his days, and in his room 
 
 his charge another take. 
 
 9 His children let be fatherless, 
 
 his wife a widow make. 
 
 10 His children let be vagabonds, 
 
 and beg continually; 
 And, from their places desolate, 
 seek bread for their supply. 
 
 11 Let covetous extortioners 
 
 catch all he hath away : 
 Of all for which he labor'd hath 
 let strangers make a prey. 
 
 12 Let there be none to pitv him : 
 
 let there be none at all 
 That on his children, fatherless, 
 will let his mercy fall. 
 
 13 Let his posterity from earth 
 
 cut off forever be; 
 And in the following age their name 
 be blotted out by thee. 
 
 14 Let God his father's wickedness 
 
 stilhto remembrance call; 
 And never let his mother's sin 
 be blotted out at all. 
 
 15 But let them all before the Lord 
 
 appear continually, 
 That he may wholly from the earth 
 cut off their memory: 
 
 16 Because he mercy minded not, 
 
 but persecuted still 
 The poor and needy, that he might 
 the broken-hearted kill. 
 
 17 As he in cnrsiri? pleasure took, 
 
 so let it to him fell; 
 As he delighted not to bless, 
 so bless him not at all. 
 
 18 As cursing he like clothes put on, 
 
 into his bowels so, 
 Like water and into. his bones 
 like oil, down let it go. 
 
 19 Like to the garment let it be 
 
 which doth himself array, 
 And for a girdle wherewith he 
 is girt about alway. 
 
 20 From God let this be their reward 
 
 that en'mies are to me, 
 And their reward that speak against 
 my soul maliciously. 
 
 21 But do thou for thine own name's sake, 
 
 O God the Lord, for me : 
 Since goo. I and sweet thy mercy is, 
 from trouble set me free. 
 
 22 For I am poor and indigent, 
 
 afflicted sore am I, 
 My heart, within me also is 
 wounded exceedingly. 
 
 ! 23 I pass like a declining shade, 
 
 am like the locust tost. 
 ; 24 My knees through fasting weaken'd are 
 
 my flesh hath fatness lost. 
 
 25 I also am a vile reproach 
 
 unto them made to be; 
 And they that did upon me look 
 did shake their heads at me. 
 
 26 O do thou help and succour me, 
 
 who art my God and Lord; 
 And for thy tender mercy's sake, 
 safetv to me afford : 
 I 
 
 | 27 That thereby they mav know that this 
 is thy almighty hand"; 
 And that thou, Lord, hast done the 
 same, 
 they may well understand. 
 
 i 28 Although they curse with spite, yet, 
 Lord, 
 bless thou with loving voice ; 
 Let them asham'd be when they rise : 
 thy servant kt rejoice. 
 
 29 Let thou mine adversaries all 
 
 with shame be clothed over, 
 And let their own confusion 
 them as a mantle cover. 
 
 30 But as for me, I with mv mouth 
 
 will greatly praise the"lx)rd, 
 And I among the multitude 
 his prnises will record. 
 
 31 For he shall»stand at his right hand 
 
 who is in poverty, 
 To save him from "all those that would 
 condemn his soul to die.

 PSALM CX. 
 
 1 The Lord did say unto my Lord, 
 
 Sit thou at my rightJiand, 
 Until I make thy foesf stool 
 whereon thy feet may stand. 
 
 2 The Lord shall out of Zion send 
 
 the rod of thy great pow'r : 
 In midst of all thine enemies 
 be thou the governor. 
 
 3 A willing people, in thy day 
 
 of pow'r, shall come to thee, 
 In holy beauties from morn's womb : 
 thy youth like dew shall be. 
 
 4 The Lord himself hath made an oatb, 
 
 and will repent him never, 
 Of th' order of Melchizedek 
 thou art a priest forever. 
 
 5 The glorious and mighty Lord, 
 
 that sits at thy ri^ht hand, 
 Shall, in his day of wrath, strike through 
 kings that do him withstand. 
 
 6 He shall among the heathen judge, 
 
 he shall with bodies dead 
 
 The places till : o'er many lands 
 
 he wound shall every head. 
 
 7 The brook that runneth in the way 
 
 with drink shall him supply : 
 And, for this cause, in triumph he 
 shall lift his head on high.

 3 His work most honorable is, 
 
 most glorious and pure, 
 And his untainted righteousness

 4 His works most wonderful he hath 
 
 made to be thought upon : 
 The Lord is gracious, and he is 
 full of compassion. 
 
 5 He giveth meat unto all those 
 
 that truly do him fear : 
 
 And evermore his covenant 
 
 he in his mind will hear.

 unto his people show. 
 When he the heathen's heritage 
 upon them did bestow. 
 
 7 His handy works are troth and right; 
 
 all his commands are sore : 
 
 8 And, done in truth and uprightness, 
 
 they evermore endure.

 his covenant for aye 
 He did command : holy his nam?

 His heart is fix'd, his confidence 
 upon the Lord is stay'd.

 What wicked men do most desire

 He in a large place did me set, 
 
 from trouble made me free. 
 
 6 The mighty Lord is on my side, 
 
 I will not be afraid : 
 For anything that man can do 
 I shall not be dismay'd. 
 
 7 The Lord doiii take my part with them 
 
 that help to succour me; 
 Therefore on those that do me hate 
 I my desire shall see. 
 
 8 Better it is to trust in God 
 
 than trust in man's defense : 
 
 9 Better to trust in God, than make 
 
 princes our confidence. 
 
 10 The nations, joining all in one 
 
 did compass me about; 
 But in the Lord's most holy name 
 I shall them all root out. 
 
 11 They compass'd me about, I say, 
 
 they compass'd me about : 
 But in the Lord's most holy name 
 £ shall them all root. out. 
 
 12 Like bees they compass'd me about; 
 
 like unto thorns that flame 
 They quenched are : lor them shall I 
 destroy in God'i own name. 
 
 13 Thou sore hast thrust, that I might fall; 
 
 but my Lord helped me. 
 
 14 God my salvation is become, 
 
 my strength and song is he. 
 
 15 In dwellings of the righteous 
 
 is heard the melody 
 Of joy and health; the lord's right hand 
 doth ever valiantly. 
 
 16 The right hand of the mighty Lord 
 
 exalted i> (..-: I 
 The right hand of the mighty Lord 
 doth ever valiantly. 
 
 17 1 shall not die, but live, and shall 
 
 the works of God discover. 
 
 18 The Lord hath me chastised sore, 
 
 but not to death giv'n over. 
 
 19 O set ye open unto me 
 
 the gates of righteousness. 
 
 Then will I enter into them, 
 
 and I the Lord will bless. 
 
 20 This is the gate of God, by it 
 
 the just shall enter in. 
 
 21 Thee will I praise, for thou me heard'st 
 
 and hast my safety been. 
 
 22 That stone is made head corner-stone, 
 
 which builders did despise : 
 
 23 This is the doing of the Lord, 
 
 and wondrous in our eyes. 
 
 24 This is the day God made, in it 
 
 we'll joy triumphantly. 
 
 25 Save now, I pray thee, Lord : I pray, 
 
 send now prosperity- 
 
 26 Blessed is he in God's great name 
 
 that cometh us to save : 
 We, from the house which to the Lord 
 pertains, you blessed have. 
 
 27 God is the Lord, who unto ns 
 
 hath made light to arise : 
 Hind ye unto the altar's horns, 
 witii ror<ls the tacrifice.

 29 Give thanks tO God, for he is good; 
 
 his mercy lasts always.

 Psalm CXIX. 
 1 Blessed are they that undefil'd, 
 and strait are in the way; 
 Who in the Lord's most holy law 
 do walk, and do not stray. 
 
 2 Blessed are they who to observe 
 his statutes are inctin'd; 
 And who do seek the living God 
 with their whole heart and mind.

 PSALM 119. 
 
 3 Bnefa in lii - ways do walk, and they 
 
 do no iniquil jr. 
 
 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep 
 
 thy prec< pta carefully. 
 
 5 O that thy statutes to observe 
 
 thou wouhlst my ways direct ! 
 
 6 Then shall I not he sham'd, when I 
 
 thy precepts all respect. 
 
 7 Then with integrity of heart 
 
 thee will 1 praise and bless, 
 When I the judgments all have learn'd 
 of thy pure righteousness. 
 
 8 That I will keep thy statutes all 
 
 firmly resolv'd have I : 
 O do not then, most gracious God, 
 forsake me utterly. 
 
 9 By what means shall a young man learn 
 
 his way to purify 1 
 If he according to thy word 
 thereto attentive be. 
 
 10 Unfeignedly thee have I sought, 
 
 with all my soul and heart : 
 O let me not from the right path 
 of thy commands depart. 
 
 11 Thy word T in my heart have hid, 
 
 that 1 olfend not thee. 
 
 12 O Lord, thou ever blessed art; 
 
 thy statutes teach thou me. 
 
 13 The judgments of thy mouth each one 
 
 my lips declared have. 
 
 14 More joy thy testimonies' way 
 
 than riches all me gave. 
 
 15 I will thy holy precepts make 
 
 my meditation; 
 And carefully I'll have respect 
 unto thy ways each one. 
 
 16 Upon thy statutes my delight 
 
 shall constantly be set j 
 And by thy grace, I never will 
 thy holy word forget. 
 
 17 With me thy servant, in thy grace, 
 
 deal bountifully, Lord; 
 That by thy f.ivor I may live, 
 and duly keep thy word. 
 
 18 Open mine eyes that of thy law 
 
 the wonders I may see. 
 
 19 I am a .stranger on this earth; 
 
 hide not thy laws from me. 
 
 20 My soul within me breaks, and doth 
 much fainting still endure, 
 Through longing that it hath all times 
 unto thy judgments pure. 
 
 2J Thou hast rebuk'd the cursed proud, 
 who from thy precepts swerve. 
 
 22 Reproach and shame remove from me, 
 
 for I thy laws observe. 
 
 23 Against me princes spake with spite, 
 
 while they in council sat; 
 But I, thy servant, did upon 
 thy statutes meditate. 
 
 24 My comfort, and my heart's delight, 
 
 thy testimonies be; 
 And they, in all my doubts and fears, 
 are counsellors to me. 
 
 25 My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me, 
 
 according to thy word. 
 
 26 My ways I show'd, and me thou heard'st.' 
 
 teach me thy statutes Lord. 
 
 27 The way of thy commandments 
 
 make me aright to know; 
 So all thy works, that wondrous are, 
 I shall to others show. 
 
 28 My soul doth melt, and drop away, 
 
 for heaviness and grief: 
 To me according to thy word, 
 give strength and send relief. 
 
 29 From me the wicked way of lies 
 
 let far removed be; 
 And graciously thy holy law 
 do thou grant unto me. 
 
 30 I chosen have the perfect way 
 
 of truth and verity : 
 Thy judgments, that most righteous are 
 before me" laid have I. 
 
 31 I to thy testimonies cleave; 
 
 shame do not on me cast. 
 
 32 I'll run thy precepts' way, when thou 
 
 my heart enlarged hast. 
 
 33 Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way 
 
 of thy precepts divine, 
 
 And to ohserve it to the end 
 
 I shall my heart incline. 
 
 34 Give understanding unto me, 
 
 so keep thy law shall I : 
 Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall 
 observe it carefully. 
 
PSALM 119. 
 
 121 
 
 35 In thy law's path make me go; 
 
 for I delight therein. 
 
 36 My heart unto thy testimonies, 
 
 and not to greed, incline. 
 
 37 Turn thou away my sight and eyes 
 
 from viewing vanity; 
 And in thy good and holy way 
 be pleas'd to quicken me. 
 
 38 Confirm to me thy gracious word, 
 
 which I did gladly hear, 
 Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is 
 devoted to thy fear. 
 
 39 Turn thou away my fear'd reproach; 
 
 for good thy judgments be. 
 
 40 Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd; 
 
 in thy truth quicken me. 
 
 4J Let thy sweet mercies also come 
 and visit me, O Lord; 
 Ev'n thy benign salvation, 
 according to thy word. 
 
 42 So shall I have wherewith I may 
 
 give him an answer just, 
 Who spitefully reproacheth me; 
 for in thy word I trust. 
 
 43 The word of truth out of my mouth 
 
 take thou not utterly; 
 For on thy judgments righteous 
 my hope doth still rely. 
 
 44 So shall I keep, for evermore, 
 
 thy law continually. 
 
 45 And, since that I thy precepts seek, 
 
 I'll walk at liberty. 
 
 46 I'll speak thy word to kings, and I 
 
 with shame shall not be mov'd : 
 
 47 And will delight myself always 
 
 in thy laws, which I lov'd. 
 
 48 To thy comandments, which I lov'd, 
 
 my hands lift up I will; 
 And I will also meditate 
 upon thy statutes still. 
 
 49 Remember, Lord, thy gracious word 
 
 thou to thy servant spake, 
 Which, for a ground of my sure hope, 
 thou causest me to take. 
 
 50 This word of thine, my comfort is 
 
 in mine affliction : 
 For in my straits I am reviv'd 
 by this thy word alone. 
 
 I ol The men whose hearts with pride are 
 stuff'd, 
 did greatly me deride : 
 Yet from thy straight commandments 
 I have not turn'd aside. 
 
 52 Thy judgments righteous, O Lord, 
 
 which thou of old forth gave, 
 I did remember; and myself 
 by them comforted have. 
 
 53 Horror took hold on me, because 
 
 ill men thy law forsake. 
 
 54 I in my house of pilgrimage 
 
 thy laws my songs do make. 
 
 55 Thy name, by night, Lord, I did mind, 
 
 and I have'kept thy law. 
 
 56 And this I had, because thy word 
 
 I kept, and stood in awe. 
 
 57 Thou my sure portion art alone, 
 
 which I did choose, O Lord : 
 I have resolv'd, and said, that 1 
 would keep thy holy word. 
 
 58 With my whole heart I did entreat 
 
 thy face and favor free ; 
 According to thy gracious word 
 be merciful to me. 
 
 59 I thought upon my former ways, 
 
 and did my life well try; 
 And to thy testimonies pure, 
 my feet then turned I. 
 
 60 I did not stay, nor linger long; 
 
 as those that slothful are; 
 But hastily thy laws to keep 
 myself I did prepare. 
 
 61 Bands of ill men me robb'd; yet 1 
 
 thy precepts did not slight. 
 
 62 I'll rise at midnight thee to praise, 
 
 ev'n for thy judgments right. 
 
 63 I am companion to all those 
 
 who fear, and thee obey. 
 
 64 O Lord, thy mercy fills the earth: 
 
 teach me thy laws, I pray. 
 
 65 Well hast thou with thy servant dealt, 
 
 as thou didst promise give. 
 
 66 Good judgment, me and knowledge 
 
 teach : 
 for I thy word believe. 
 
 67 Ere I afflicted was I stray'd; 
 
 but now I keep thy word. 
 
 68 Both good thou art, and good thou do'st ; 
 
 teach me thy statutes, Lord. 
 
122 
 
 PSALM 119. 
 
 09 The men that are puiFM up with pride 
 against me forg'd a lie; 
 Yet thy commandments observe 
 with my whole heart will 1. 
 
 70 Their hearts, thro' worldly ease and 
 
 wealth, 
 as fat as grease they be ; 
 Hut in thy holy law I take 
 delight, continually. 
 
 71 It hath been very good for me 
 
 that I afflicted was, 
 That 1 might well instructed be, 
 and learn thy holy laws. 
 
 72 The word that cometh from thy month 
 
 is better unto me 
 Than many thousands and great sums 
 of gold and silver be. 
 
 73 Thou mad'st and fashion'dstme; thy laws 
 
 to know, give wisdom, Lord : 
 
 74 So who thee fear, shall joy to see 
 
 me trusting in thy word. 
 
 75 That very right thy judgments are 
 
 I know, and do confess; 
 And that thou hast afflicted me, 
 in truth and faithfulness. 
 
 76 O let thy kindness merciful, 
 
 I pray thee, comfort me, 
 
 As to thy servant faithfully 
 
 was promised by thee. 
 
 77 And let thy tender mercies come 
 
 to me, that I may live; 
 
 Because thy holy laws to me 
 
 sweet delectation give. 
 
 78 Lord, let the proud ashamed be; 
 
 for they, without a cause, 
 With me perversely dealt : but I 
 will muse upon thy laws. 
 
 79 Let such as fear thee, and have known 
 
 thy statutes, turn to me. 
 
 80 My heart let in thy laws be sound, 
 
 that sham'd I never be. 
 
 81 My soul for thy salvation faints; 
 
 yet I thy word believe. 
 
 82 Mine eyes fail for thy word : I say 
 
 When wilt thou comfort give ? 
 
 83 For like a bottle I'm become, 
 
 that in the smoke is set : 
 I'm black, and parch'd with grief; yet I 
 thy statutes not forget. 
 
 64 How many are thy servant's days 1 
 when wilt thou execute 
 Just judgment on these wicked men 
 that do me persecute ? 
 
 85 The proud have digged pits for me, 
 
 which is against thy laws. 
 
 86 Thy words all faithful are : help me, 
 
 pursu'd without a cause. 
 
 87 They so consum'd me, that on earth 
 
 my life they scarce did leave : 
 Thy precepts yet forsook I not, 
 but close to them did cleave. 
 
 88 After thy loving-kindness, Lord, 
 
 me quicken and preserve; 
 The testimony of thy mouth 
 so shall 1 still observe. 
 
 89 Thy word forever is, O Lord, 
 
 in heaven settled fast. 
 
 90 Unto all generations 
 
 thy faithfulness doth last : 
 
 The earth thou hast established, 
 and it abides by thee. 
 
 91 This day they stand as thou ordain'dst; 
 
 for all tby servants be. 
 
 92 Unless in thy most perfect law 
 
 my soul delights had found, 
 I should have perished, when as 
 my troubles did abound. 
 
 93 Thy precepts I will ne'er forget; 
 
 theyquick'ning to me brought. 
 
 94 Lord, 1 am thine, O save thou me : 
 
 thy precepts 1 have sought. 
 
 95 For me the wicked have laid wait, 
 
 me seeking to destroy : 
 
 But I thy testimonies true 
 
 consider will with joy. 
 
 96 An end of all perfection 
 
 here have I seen, O (lod : 
 But as for thy commandment, 
 it is exceeding broad. 
 
 97 O how love I thy law ! it is 
 
 my study all the day. 
 
 98 It makes me wiser than my foes ; 
 
 for it doth with me stay. 
 
 99 Than all my teachers now I have 
 
 more understanding far; 
 Because my meditation 
 thy testimonies are. 
 
PSALM 119. 
 
 123 
 
 100 In understanding 1 excel 
 
 those that are ancients; 
 
 For I endeavored to keep 
 
 all thy commandments. 
 
 101 My feet from each ill way I stay'd, 
 
 that I might keep thy word. 
 
 102 I from thy judgments have not swerv'd, 
 
 for thou hast taught me, Lord. 
 
 103 How sweet unto my taste, O Lord, 
 
 are all thy words of truth ! 
 
 Yea, I do find them sweeter far 
 
 than honey to my mouth. 
 
 104 I through thy precepts, that are pure, 
 
 do understanding get . 
 I therefore ev'ry way that's false 
 with all my heart do hate. 
 
 105 Thy word is to my feet a lamp, 
 
 and to my path a light, 
 
 106 I sworn have, and J will perform, 
 
 to keep thy judgments right. 
 
 107 I am with sore affliction 
 
 ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord: 
 In mercy raise and quicken me, 
 according to thy word. 
 
 108 The free-will off'rings of my mouth 
 
 accept, I thee beseech : 
 And unto me, thy servant, Lord, 
 thy judgments clearly teach. 
 
 109 Though still my soul be in my hand, 
 
 thy laws I'll not forget, 
 
 110 1 err'd not from them /though for me 
 
 the wicked snares did set. 
 
 111 I of thy testimonies have 
 
 above all things made choice, 
 To be my heritage for aye ; 
 for they my heart rejoice. 
 
 112 I carefully inclined have 
 
 my heart still to attend, 
 That I thy statutes may perform 
 alway unto the end. 
 
 113 I hate the thoughts of vanity : 
 
 but love thy law do I. 
 
 114 My shield and hiding-place thou art: 
 
 I on thy word rely. 
 
 115 All ye that evil-doers are, 
 
 from vne depart away; 
 For the commandments of my God, 
 I purpose to obey. 
 
 116 According to thy faithful word 
 
 uphold and 'stablish me, 
 That I may live; and of my hope 
 ashamed never be. 
 
 117 Hold thou me up, so shall I be 
 
 in peace and safety still: 
 And to thy statutes have respect 
 continually I will. 
 
 118 Thou tread'st down all that love to stray; 
 
 false their deceit doth prove. 
 
 119 Lewd men, like dross, away thou putt'st; 
 
 therefore thy law I love. 
 
 120 For fear of thee my very flesh 
 
 doth tremble, all dismay'd; 
 And of thy righteous judgments, Lord, 
 my soul is much afraid. 
 
 121 To all men I have judgment done, 
 
 performing justice right: 
 Then let me not be left unto 
 my fierce oppressors' might. 
 
 122 For good unto thy se r vant, Lord, 
 
 thy servant's surety be : 
 From the oppression of the proud 
 do thou deliver me. 
 
 123 Mine eyes do fail with looking long 
 
 for thy salvation, 
 The word of thy pure righteousness 
 while I do wait upon. 
 
 124 In mercy with thy servant deal, 
 
 thy laws me teach and show. 
 
 125 I am thy servant; wisdom give, 
 
 that I thy laws may know. 
 
 126 'Tis time thou work, Lord; for they har 
 
 made void thy law divine. 
 
 127 Therefore thy precepts more I love 
 
 than gold, yea, gold most fine. 
 
 128 Concerning all things thy commands 
 
 all right I judge therefore; 
 And every false and wicked way 
 I perfectly abhor. 
 
 129 Thy statutes, Lord, are wonderful : 
 
 my soul them keeps with care. 
 
 130 The entrance of thy word gives light, 
 
 makes wise who simple are. 
 
 131 My mouth I have wide opened, 
 
 and panted earnestly, 
 While after thy commandments 
 I long'd exceedingly. 
 
V24 
 
 PSALM 119. 
 
 138 Look on me. Lord, ami merciful 
 do thou unto me prove, 
 As thou art wont to do to those 
 thy name who truly love. 
 
 133 O let my footsteps in thy word 
 
 aright still order'd be : 
 Let no iniquity obtain 
 dominion over me. 
 
 134 From man's oppression save thou me: 
 
 so keep thy laws I will. 
 
 135 Thy face make on thy servant shine : 
 
 teach me thy statutes still. 
 
 136 Rivers of water from mine eyes 
 
 did run down, when I saw 
 
 How wicked men run on in sin, 
 
 and do not keep thy law. 
 
 137 O Lord, thou art most righteous; 
 
 thy judgments are upright. 
 
 138 Thy testimonies thou command'st 
 
 most faithful are and right. 
 
 139 My zeal hath ev'n consumed me, 
 
 because mine enemies 
 Thy holy words forgotten have, 
 and do thy laws despise. 
 
 140 Thy word's most pure; therefore on it 
 
 thy servant's love is set. 
 
 141 Small, and despis'd I am; yet I 
 
 thy precepts not forget. 
 
 142 Thy righteousness is righteousness 
 
 which ever doth endure : 
 
 Thy holy law, Lord, also is 
 
 the very truth most pure. 
 
 143 Trouble and anguish have me found, 
 
 and taken hold on me : 
 Yet in my trouble my delight 
 thy just commandments be. 
 
 144 Eternal righteousness is in 
 
 thy testimonies all : 
 Lord, to me understanding give, 
 and ever live I shall. 
 
 145 With my whole heart I cried, 
 hear : 
 
 T will thy word obey. 
 140 I cried to thee; save me, and I 
 
 will keep thy laws alway. 
 
 147 I of the morning did prevent 
 the dawning, ami did cry : 
 For all mine expectation 
 did on thy word rely. 
 
 Lord, 
 
 148 Mine eyes did timeously prevent 
 
 the watches of the night, 
 That in thy word with careful mind 
 then meditate 1 might. 
 
 149 After thy loving-kindness hear 
 
 my voice, that calls on thee . 
 According to thy judgment, Lord, 
 revive and quicken me. 
 
 150 Who follow mischief, they draw nigh : 
 
 they from thy law are far. 
 
 151 But thou art near, Lord; most firm truth 
 
 all thy commandments are. 
 
 152 As for thy testimonies all, 
 
 of old this have I tried, 
 That thou hast surely founded them 
 forever to abide. 
 
 153 Consider mine affliction, 
 
 in safety do me set : 
 
 Deliver me, O Lord, for I 
 
 thy law do not forget. 
 
 154 After thy word revive thou me : 
 
 save me and plead my cause. 
 
 155 Salvation is from sinners far; 
 
 for they seek not thy laws. 
 
 156 O Lord, both great and manifold 
 
 thy lender mercies be : 
 According to thy judgments just 
 revive and quicken me. 
 
 157 My persecutors many are, 
 
 and foes that do combine : 
 
 Yet from thy testimonies pure 
 
 my heart doth not decline. 
 
 158 I saw transgressors, and was griev'd; 
 for they keep not thy word. 
 
 159 See how 1 love thy law ! as thou 
 
 art kind, me quicken, Lord. 
 
 160 From the beginning all thy word 
 
 hath been not! true and sure : 
 Thy righteous judgments ev'ry one 
 for evermore endure. 
 
 161 Princes have persecuted me, 
 
 although no cause they saw : 
 
 But still of thy most holy word 
 
 my heart doth stand in awe. 
 
 162 I at thy word rejoice, as one 
 of spoil that finds great store. 
 
 163 Thy law I love; but. lying all 
 I hate and do abhor. 
 
PSALMS 118-120-121-122-123-124. 125 
 
 164 Sev'n times a day it is my care 
 
 to give due praise to thee; 
 Because of all thy judgments, Lord, 
 which righteous ever be. 
 
 165 Great peace have they who love thy law; 
 
 offense they shall have none. 
 16C I hop'd for thy salvation, Lord, 
 
 and thy commands have done. 
 
 167 My soul thy testimonies pure 
 
 observed carefully; 
 On them my heart is set, and them 
 I love exceedingly. 
 
 168 Thy testimonies and thy laws 
 
 I kept with special care : 
 For all my works and ways each one 
 before thee open are. 
 
 169 O let my earnest pray'r and cry 
 
 come near before thee, Lord : 
 Give understanding unto me, 
 according to thy word. 
 
 170 Let my request before thee come; 
 
 after thy word me free. 
 
 171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou 
 
 hast taught thy laws to me. 
 
 172 My tongue of thy most blessed word 
 
 shall speak, and it confess : 
 Because all thy commandments 
 are perfect righteousness. 
 
 173 Let thy strong hand make help to me, 
 
 thy precepts are my choice. 
 
 174 I long'd for thy salvation, Lord, 
 
 and in thy law rejoice. 
 
 175 O let my soul live, and it shall 
 
 give praises unto thee;

 For thy commands I suffer'd not

 O Lord, my soul set free.

 That I in tabernacles dwell

 1 I joy'd when to the house of God, 
 
 Go up, they said to me. 
 
 2 Jerusalem, within thy gates 
 
 our feet shall standing be. 
 
 3 Jerus'lem, ai a city, is

 the tribes of God »o thither; 
 
 To I-r'el\ testimony, there 
 
 to God's name thank- to pay.

 of David's house, there stay. 
 
 G Pray that. Jerusalem may have 
 peace and felicity : 
 Let them that love thee, and thy peace, 
 have ittil prosperity.

 And ever may thy palaces 
 prosperity retain.

 Peace be in thee I'll say.

 Psalm CXXIII. 
 
 1 O thou, that dwellest in the heav'ns,

 2 Behold, as servants' eyes do look

 As hand-maid's eyes her mistress' hand; 
 
 so do our eyes attend 
 Upon the Lord our God, until

 unto us gracious be; 
 Because replenish'd with contempt

 upright within their heart.

 Psalm CXXVI. 
 
 1 When Zion's bondage God tum'd back,

 To feed on sorrow's bread : so gives

 4 Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

 5 The Lord shall out of Zion give

 to Jacob's mighty One. 
 
 3 I will not come within my house, 
 
 nor rest in bed at all : 
 • 4 Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep, 
 nor eyelids slumber shall; " 
 
 5 Till for the Lord a place I find, 
 
 where he may make abode; 
 A place of habitation 
 for Jacob's mighty God. 
 
 6 Lo, at the place of Ephratah 
 
 of it we understood; 
 And we did find it in the fields, 
 and city of the wood. 
 
 7 We'll go into his tabernacles, 
 
 and at his footstool bow. 
 
 8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest, 
 
 th' ark of thy strength, and thon. 
 
 9 O let thy priests be clothed, Lord, 
 
 with truth and righteousness; 
 And let all those that are thy saints 
 Shout loud for joyfulness. 
 
 10 For thine own servant David's sake 
 
 do not deny thy grace; 
 Nor of thine own anointed one 
 torn thou away the face. 
 
 11 The Lord in truth to David sware, 
 
 he will not tnrn from it, 
 I of thy body's fruit will make 
 upon thy throne to sit. 
 
 12 My cov'nant, if thy son? will keep, 
 
 and laws to them made known, 
 Their children then shall also sit 
 forever on thy throne. 
 
 13 For God of Zion hath made choice; 
 
 there he desires to dwell. 
 
 14 This 
 
 bil is my rest; here still I'll stay, 
 for I do like it well. 
 
 I 15 Her food I'll greatly bless; her poor 
 
 with bread will satisfy. 
 I 16 Her priests I'll clothe with health; her 
 saints 
 
 shall shout forth joyfully. 
 
 17 And there wiil I make David's horn 
 
 to bud forth pleasantly : 
 For him that mine anointed is. 
 a lamp ordain'd have I. 
 
 18 As with a garment I will clothe 
 
 with shame his en'mies all; 
 But yet the crown that he doth wear 
 upon him flourish shall. 
 
 Psalm CXXXI1I. 
 
 1 Behold, how good a thing it is,

 that down the beard did flow, 
 Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts 
 did of his garments go.

 on Zion hills descend; 
 For there the blessing God commands,

 3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good;

 4 For Jacob to himself the Lord

 And he hath ohosen [trie]

 5 Because I know assuredly 
 
 the Lord is very great, 
 And that our Lord above all gods * 
 in glory hath his seat. 
 
 6 What things soever pleas'd the Lord, 
 
 that in the heav'n did he, 
 And in the earth, the seas, and all 
 the places deep that be.

 12 And for a wealthy heritage 
 
 their pleasant kind he gave 
 An heritage which Israel, 
 his chosen folk, should have. 
 
 13 Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure; 
 
 and thy memorial 
 With honor shall continu'd he 
 to generations all. 
 
 14 Because the righteous God will judge 
 
 his people righteously : 
 Concerning those that do him serve, 
 himself repent will he. » 
 
 15 The idols of the nations 
 
 of silver are and gold, 
 And by the hands of men is made 
 their fashion and mold. 
 
 16 Mouths have they, but they do not 
 
 speak; 
 eyes, but they do not see ; 
 
 17 Ears have they, but hear not; and in 
 
 their mouths no breathing be. 
 
 18 Their makers are like them; so are 
 
 all that on them rfily. 
 
 19 O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God, 
 
 O Aaron's family. 
 
 20 O bless the Lord, of Levi's house 
 
 ye who his servants are; 
 And bless the holy name of God, 
 all ye the Lord that fear. 
 
 21 And blessed be the Lord our God 
 
 from Zion's holy hill, 
 Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. 
 The Lord O praise ye still. 
 
 Psalm CXXXVI. 
 
 1 Give thanks to God, for good is he :

 2 Thanks to the God of gods give ye 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 3 Thanks give the Lord of lords unto :

 5 Who by his wisdom made heav'ns high ;

 6 Who stretch'd the earth above the sea : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 7 To him that made the great lights shine: 
 
 for mercy hath he ever. 
 
 8 The sun to rule till day decline : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 9 The moon and stars to rule by night: 
 
 for mercy hath he ever. 
 
 10 Who Egypt's first-born kill'd outright : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 11 And Isr'el brought from Egypt land : 
 
 lor mercy hath he ever. 
 
 12 With stretch'd out arm and with strong 
 
 hand : 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 13 By whom the red sea parted was : 
 
 for mercy hath he ever. 
 
 14 And through its midst made Isr'el pass: 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 15 But Pharoah and his host did drown; 
 
 for mercy hath he ever. 
 
 16 Who through the desert led his own: 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 17 To him great kings who overthrew: 
 
 for he hath mercy ever. 
 
 18 Yea famous kings in battles slew: 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 19 Ev'n Sihon king of Amorites : 
 for he hath mercy ever. 
 
 20 And Og the king of Bashanites : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 21 Their land in heritage to have : 
 
 for mercy hath he ever. 
 
 22 His servant Isr'el right, he gave : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 23 In our low state who on us thought : 
 
 for he hath mercy ever. 
 
 24 And from our foes our freedom wrought : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 25 Who doth all flesh with food relieve : 
 
 for he hath mercy ever. 
 
 26 Thanks to the God of heaven give : 
 
 for his grace faileth never.

PSALM 136. 
 
 135 
 
 3 The Lord of lords praise ye; 
 
 whose mercies still endure. 
 
 4 Great wonders only he 
 
 doth work by his great pow'r : 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 5 Which God omnipotent, 
 
 by might and wisdom high, 
 The heav'n and firmament 
 did frame, as we may see ; 
 For certainly, Sec. 
 
 6 To him who did outstretch 
 
 this earth so great and wide, 
 Above the waters' reach 
 making it to abide : 
 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 7 Great lights he made to be : 
 
 for his grace lasteth aye. 
 
 8 Such as the sun we seej 
 
 to rule the lightsome day : 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 9 Also the moon so clear, 
 
 which shineth in our sight: 
 The stars that do appear, 
 to guide the darksome night : 
 For certainly, &c.

 who did his message scorn; 
 And in his anger hot 
 
 did kill all their first-born : 
 For certainly, &c.

 inn.de his own Tsrael : 
 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 15 But overwhelm'd and lost 
 
 was proud king Pharaoh,

 his chosen people led, 
 Ev'n through the desert dry

 For certainly, &c. 
 
 17 To him great kings who smote : 
 
 for his grace hath no bound.

 19 Sihon the Am'rite's king : 
 
 for his grace lasteth ever. 
 
 20 Og also, who did reign 
 
 the land of Bashan over : 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 21 Their land by lot he gave : 
 
 for his grace faileth never. 
 
 22 That Isr'el might it have 
 
 in heritage for ever: 
 
 For certainly, &c. 
 
 23 Who hath remembered 
 
 us in our low estate; 
 
 24 And us delivered 
 
 from foes which»did us hate : 
 For certainly, &c.

 Psalm CXXXVI1. 
 
 1 By Babel's streams we sat and wept, 
 
 when Zion we thought on. 
 
 2 In midst thereof we hang'd our harps 
 
 the willow trees upon. 
 
 3 For there a song requir'd thoy, 
 
 who did U ('.iplivc l>ri ti ir : 
 Our spoilers call'd for mirth, and said, 
 a song of Zion ling. 
 
 4 O how the Lord's song shall we sing 
 
 within ;i foreign land ? 
 
 5 If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget, 
 
 skill part from my right hand. 
 
 6 My tongue to my mouth's roof let cleave, 
 
 if I do thee forget, 
 
 Jerusalem; and thee above 
 my chief joy do not set. 
 
 7 Remember Edom's children, Lord, 
 
 who in Jerus'lem's day, 
 Ev'n unto its foundation, 
 raze, raze it quite, did say. 
 
 8 O daughter thou of Babylon, 
 
 near to destruction; 
 Bless'd shall he he that thee rewards, 
 as thou to us hast done. 
 
 9 Yea, happy surely shall he be, 
 thy tender little ones 
 Who shall lay hold upon, and them 
 shall dash against the stones.

 Psalm CXXXVIII 
 
 1 Thee wil I praise with all my heart; 
 
 I will sing praise to thee 
 
 2 Before the gods. I worship will 
 
 toward thy sanctu'ry. 
 
 And praise thy name, ev'n for thy truth, 
 
 and kindness of thy love : 
 For thou thy word hast magnified 
 
 all thy great name above. 
 
 3 Thou didst me answer in the day 
 
 when I to thee did cry; 
 And thou my fainting soul with strength 
 didst strengthen inwardly. 
 
 4 All kings upon the earth that are 
 
 shall give thee praise, O Lord; 
 When as they from thy mouth shall hear 
 thy true and faithful word. 
 
 5 Yea, in the righteous ways of God 
 
 with gladness they shall sing: 
 For great's the glory of the Lord, 
 who doth forever reign. 
 
 6 Though God be high yet he respects 
 
 all those that lowly be : 
 Whereas the proud and lofty ones 
 afar off knoweth he. 
 
 7 Though I in midst of trouble walk, 
 
 I life from thee shall have : 
 'Gainst my foes' wrath thou'lt stretch 
 thine hand, 
 thy right hand shall me save. 
 
 8 Surely that which concerneth me 
 
 the Lord will perfect make : 
 Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not 
 thine own hands' works forsake. 
 
 Psalm CXXXIX. 
 
 1 O Lord, thou hast me search'd and 
 
 known. 
 
 2 Thou know'st my sitting down, 
 And rising up; yea all my thoughts 
 
 afar to thee are known. 
 
 3 My footsteps, and my lying down, 
 
 thou compassest always; 
 Thou also most entirely art 
 acquaint with all my ways. 
 
 4 For in my tongue, before I speak, 
 
 not any word can be, 
 But altogether, lo, O Lord, 
 it is well known to thee. 
 
 5 Behind, before, thou hast beset, 
 
 and laid on me thine hand. 
 
 6 Such knowledge is too strange for me; 
 
 too high to understand. 
 
 7 From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go ? 
 
 or from thy presence fly ? 
 
 8 Ascend I heaven, lo, thou art there; 
 
 there, if in hell I lie. 
 
 9 Take I the morning wings, and dwell 
 
 in utmost parts of sea; 
 10 Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead, 
 thy right handhold shall me. 
 
 Jl If I do say, Tiiat darkness shall 
 me cover from thy sight; 
 Then surely shall the very night 
 about me be as light. 
 
 12 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee; 
 
 but night doth shine as day ; 
 To thee the darkness and the light 
 are both alike alway. 
 
 13 For thou possessed hast my reins; 
 
 and thou hast cover'd me, 
 When I within my mother's womb 
 enclosed was by thee. 
 
 14 Thee will I praise; for fearfully 
 
 and strangely made 1 am : 
 Thy works are marv'lous; and right well 
 my soul doth know the same. 
 
 15 My substance was not hid from thee, 
 
 when as in secret I 
 Was made; and in earth's lowest parts 
 was wrought most curiously. 
 
 16 Thine eyes my substance did behold, 
 
 yet being unperfect; 
 And in the" volume of thy book 
 my members all were writ : 
 
 Which after in continuance 
 
 were fashion'd ev'ry one 
 When as they yet all shapeless were 
 
 and of them there was none. 
 
 17 How precious also are thy thoughts* 
 
 gracious God, to me ! 
 
 And in their sum how passing great 
 and numberless they be ! 
 
 18 If I should count them, than the sand 
 
 they more in number be : 
 What time soever I awake, 
 
 1 ever am with thee.

 PSAL?JS 139—140-141. 
 
 19 Thon, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay : 
 
 hence from me bloody men. 
 
 20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak, 
 
 and take thy name in vain. 
 
 21 Do not I hate all those, (J Lord, 
 
 that hatred bear to thee ? 
 With those that up against thee rise 
 can I but grieved be ? 
 
 22 With perfect hatred them I hate; 
 
 my foes I them do hold. 
 
 23 Search me, O God. and know mv heart, 
 
 try me, my thoughts unfold : 
 
 24 And see if any wicked way 
 
 there be at all in me; 
 And in thine everlasting way 
 to me a leader be. 
 
 Psalm CXL. 
 
 1 Lord, from the ill and froward man 
 
 give me deliverance; 
 And do thou safe preserve me from 
 the man of violence ; 
 
 2 Who in their heart mischievous things 
 
 are meditating ever; 
 And they for war assembled are 
 continually together.

 thei* tongues they sharp do make; 
 And underneath their lips there lies

 from vi'lent men me save; 
 Who utterly to overthrow 
 my goings purpos'd have. 
 
 5 The proud for me a snare have hid, 
 
 and cords; yea, they a net 
 Have by the way-side for me spread : 
 they gins for me have set. 
 
 6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art 
 
 my God : unto the cry 
 Of all my supplications, 
 Lord, do thine ear apply. 
 
 7 O God the Lord, who art the strength 
 
 of my salvation; 
 A cov'ring in the day of war 
 my head thou hast put on. 
 
 8 Unto the wicked man. O Lord, 
 
 his wishes do not grant; 
 Nor further thou his ill device, 
 '«*st thev themselves should vaunt. 
 
 9 As for the head and chief of those 
 about that compass me, 
 Ev'n by the mischief of their lips 
 let thou them cover'd he. 
 
 10 Let burning coals upon them fall, 
 
 them throw in tiery flame; 
 And in deep pits, that they no more 
 may rise out of the same. 
 
 11 Let not an evil speaker be 
 
 on earth estahlished : 
 Mischief shall hunt the vi'lent man 
 till he be ruined 
 
 12 I know God will th' afflieted's cause 
 
 maintain, and poor man's right. 
 
 13 Surely the just shall praise thy name; 
 
 th' upright dwell in thy sight. 
 
 Psalm CXLI. 
 
 1 O Lord, 1 unto thee do cry, 
 
 do thou make haste to me; 
 And give an ear unto my voice, 
 when I cry unto thee. 
 
 2 As incense let my prayer be 
 
 directed in thine eyes; 
 Anil the uplifting of my hands 
 as th' ev'ning sacrifice. 
 
 3 r^et, Lord, a watch before my mouth; 
 
 keep of my lips the door. 
 
 4 31y heart incline thou not unto 
 
 the ills I should abhor, 
 
 To practice wicked works with men 
 
 that work iniquity; 
 And with their delicates my taste 
 
 let me not satisfy. 
 
 5 Let him thai righteous is me smite, 
 
 it shall a kindness be; 
 Let him reprove, I shall it count 
 a precious oil to me; 
 
 Such smiting shall not break my head : 
 
 for yet the time shall fall, 
 When I in their calamities 
 
 to God pray for them shall. 
 
 6 When as their judges down shall be 
 
 in stony places cast, 
 Then shall they hear my words; for they 
 shall sweet be to their taste. 
 
 7 About the grave's devouring mouth, 
 
 our bones r.re soatter'd round, 
 As wood which men do cut and cleave 
 lies icalter'd on the ground.

 Psalm 0X1*1 
 
 1 I WITH my voice cried to the Lord, 
 
 with it made my request : 
 
 2 Pour'd out to him my plaint, to him 
 
 my trouble I express'd. 
 
 3 When in me was o'erwhelm'd my sp'rit, 
 
 then well thou knew'st my way: 
 Where I did walk, ;i snare for me 
 they privily did lay. 
 
 4 I look'd on my right hand, and view'd, 
 
 but none to know me were : 
 All refuge failed me; no man 
 did for my soul take care. 
 
 5 I cried to thee; I said, Thou art 
 
 my refuge, Lord, alone; 
 And in the land of those.that live 
 thou art my portion. 
 
 6 Because I am brought very low 
 
 attend unto my cry; 
 Me from my persecutors save, 
 who stronger are than I. 
 
 7 From prison bring my soul, that I 
 
 thy name may glorify; 
 The just shall compass me, when thou 
 with me deal'st bounteously. 
 
 PSA.LM CXLIII. 
 
 1 Lord, hear my pray'r, attend my suits; 
 and in thy faithfulness 
 Give thou an answer unto me, 
 and in thy righteousness. 
 
 2 Thy servant also bring thou not 
 
 in judgment to be tried; 
 Becauseno living man can be 
 
 in thy sight justified. 
 
 3 Forth' en'my hath pursu'd my soul, 
 
 my life to ground down tread : 
 In darkness he hath made me dwell, 
 a> who have long been dead. 
 
 4 My sp'rit is therefore overwhelm'd 
 
 in me perplexedly; 
 Within me is my very heart 
 amazed wondrously. 
 
 5 I call to mind the days of old; 
 
 to meditate I use 
 On all thy works; upon the deeds 
 I of thy hands do muse. 
 
 6 My hands to thee I stretch; my soul 
 
 thirsts, as dry land, for thee. 
 
 7 Haste, Lord, to hear, my spirit fails: 
 
 hide not thy face from me; 
 
 Lest like to them I do become 
 that go down to the dust. 
 
 8 At morn let me thy kindness hear, 
 
 for in thee do 1 trust: 
 
 Teach me the way that I should walk; 
 I lift my soul to thee. 
 
 9 Lord free me from my foes ; I flee 
 
 to thee to cover me. 
 
 10 Because thou art my God, to do 
 
 thy will do me instruct : 
 Thy Sp'rit is good; me to the, land 
 of uprightness conduct. 
 
 11 Revive and quicken me, O Lord, 
 
 ev'n for thy own name's sake; 
 And do thou, for thy righteousness, 
 my soul from trouble take. 
 
 12 And of thy mercy slay my foes, 
 
 let all destroyed be 
 That do afflict my soul : for 1 
 a servant am to thee.

 1 Oh hear my prayer, Lord, 
 
 and onto my desire 
 To bow thine ear accord, 
 I humbly thee require; 
 
 And in thy faithfulness 
 unto me answer make, 
 
 And in thy righteousness 
 upon me pity take. 
 
 2 In judgment enter not 
 
 with me, thy servant poor. 
 Hecause this well I wot, 
 no sinner can endure 
 
 The sight of thee, O God; 
 
 if thou his deeds shalt try, 
 He dare make none abode 
 
 himself to justify. 
 
 3 Behold, the cruel foe, 
 
 me persecutes with spite, 
 My soul to overthrow ; 
 yea, he my life down quite 
 
 Unto the ground hath smote, 
 and made me dwell full low 
 
 In darkness, as forgot, 
 or men dead long ago.

 4 Therefore my sp'rit, much vex'd, 
 
 o'erwhelm'd is me within; 
 My heart right sore perplex'd 
 and desolate hath been. 
 
 5 Yet I do call to mind 
 
 what ancient days record; 
 Thy works of ev'ry kind 
 I think upon, O Lord. 
 
 6 Lo, [ do stretch my hands 
 
 to thee my help alone; 
 For thou well understands 
 all my complaint and moan : 
 
 My thirsting soul desires 
 and longeth after thee, 
 
 As thirsty ground requires 
 with rain refresh'd to be. 
 
 7 Lord, let my pray'r prevail, 
 
 to answer it make speed; 
 
 For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail : 
 
 hide not thy face in need, 
 
 Lest I be like to those 
 that do in darkness sit, 
 
 Or him that downward goes 
 into the dreadful pit. 
 
 8 Because I trust in thee, 
 
 Lord, cause me to hear 
 Thy loving-kindness free, 
 
 when morning doth appear : 
 
 Cause me -to know the way 
 
 wherein my paths should be; 
 Because my soul on high 
 
 1 do lift up to thee. 
 
 9 From my fierce enemy 
 
 in safety do me guide; 
 Because I flee to thee, 
 Lord, that thou mayst me hide. 
 
 10 My God alone art thou, 
 
 teach me thy righteousness; 
 Thy Spirit's good, lead me to 
 the land of uprightness. 
 
 11 O Lord, for thy name's sake, 
 
 be pleas'd to quicken me; 
 And for thy truth forth take 
 my soul from misery. 
 
 12 And of thy grace destroy 
 
 my foes, and put to shame 
 All who my soul annoy : 
 for I thy servant am.

 1 O blessed ever be the Lord, 
 
 who is my strength and might, , 
 
 Who doth instruct my hands to war, 
 my fingers teach to fight. 
 
 2 My goodness, fortress, my high tow'r, 
 
 deliverer and shield, 
 In whom I trust ; who under me 
 my people makes to yield. 
 
 3 Lord, what is man, that thou of him 
 
 dost so much knowledge take ! 
 Or son of man, that thou of him 
 so great account dost make ! 
 
 4 Man is like vanity; his days, 
 
 as shadows, pass away. 
 
 5 Lord, bow thy heav'ns, come down; 
 
 touch thou 
 the hills, and smoke shall they. 
 
 6 Cast forth thy lightning, scatter them; 
 
 thine arrows shoot, them rout. 
 
 7 Thine hand send from above, me save; 
 
 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 hand 
 
 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. 
 
 10 Ev'n lie it is that unto kings 
 salvation doth send; 
 Who his own servant David doth 
 from hurtful sword defend. 
 
 11 O free me from strange children's hand, 
 
 whose mouth speak* vanity; 
 And their right hand a right hand is 
 that works deceitfully. 
 
 12 That as the plants our sons may bo 
 
 in youth grown up that are; 
 Our daughters like to corner-stones, 
 carv'd like a palace fair. 
 
 13 That, to afford all kinds of store, 
 
 our garners may be fill'd; 
 That our sheep thousands, in our street 
 ten thousand they may yield. 
 
 14 That strong our oxen be for work; 
 
 that no in-breaking be, 
 Nor going out; and that our streets 
 may from complaints be free. 
 
 15 Those people blessed are who be 
 
 in such a case as this; 
 Yea, blessed all those people are, 
 whose God JEHOVAH is. 
 
 Psalm CXLV. 
 
 1 I'll thee extol, my God, O King; 
 
 I'll bless thy name always. 
 
 2 Thee will I bless each day, and will 
 
 thy name forever praise. 
 
 3 Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd; 
 
 his rreataasa search exceeds. ^ 
 
 4 Race unto race shall praise thy works, 
 
 and show thy mighty deeds. 
 
 5 1 of thy glorious majesty 
 
 thy honor will record; 
 I'll speak of all thy mighty works, 
 which wondrous are, O Lord. 
 
PSALM 145. 
 
 143 
 
 6 Men of thine acts the might shall show, 
 
 thine acts that dreadful are : 
 And I, thy glory to advance, 
 thy greatness will declare. 
 
 7 The rnem'ry of thy goodness great, 
 
 they largely shall express : 
 With songs of praise they shall extol 
 thy perfect righteousness. 
 
 8 The Lord is very gracious, 
 
 in him compassions flow; 
 In mercy he is very great, 
 and is to anger slow. 
 
 9 The Lord JEHOVAH unto all 
 
 his goodness doth declare; 
 And overall his other works 
 his tender mercies are. 
 
 10 Thee all thy works shall praise, O Lord, 
 
 and thee thy saints shall bless. 
 
 11 They shall thy kingdom's glory show, 
 
 thy povv'r by speech express : 
 
 12 To make the sons of men to know 
 
 his acts done mightily; 
 And of his kihdom th' excellent 
 and glorious majesty. 
 
 13 Thy kingdom shall forever stand, 
 
 thy reign through ages all. 
 
 14 God raiseth all that are bow'd down, 
 
 upholdeth all that fall. 
 
 15 The eyes of all things wait on thee, 
 
 the giver of all good; 
 And thou in time convenient 
 bestow'stonthem their food. 
 
 16 Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally, 
 
 and, of thy bounty, gives 
 Enough to satisfy the need 
 of everything that lives. 
 
 17 The Lord is just in all his ways, 
 
 holy in his works all. 
 
 18 God's near to all that call on him, 
 
 in truth that on him call. 
 
 19 He will accomplish the desire 
 
 of those that do him fear; 
 He also will deliver them, 
 and he their cry will hear. 
 
 20 The Lord preserves all who him love, 
 
 that naught can them annoy : 
 But he all those that wicked are 
 will utterly destroy. 
 
 21 My mouth the praises of the Lord 
 
 to publish cease shall never: 
 Let all flesh bless his holy name 
 forever and forever.

 SECOND VERSION 
 
 1 O Lord, thou art my God and King, 
 
 thee will I magnify and praise; 
 I will thee hless, and gladly sing 
 unto thy holy name always. 
 
 2 Each day I rise \ will thee bless, 
 
 and praise thy name time without end, 
 
 3 Much to be prais'd. and great God is; 
 
 his greatness none can comprehend. 
 
 4 Race shall thy works praise unto race, 
 
 the mighty acts show done by thee. 
 
 5 I will speak of thy glorious grace, 
 
 and honor of thy majesty; 
 
 Thy wondrous works I will record. 
 
 6 By men the miyht shall be extoll'd 
 Of all thy dreadful acts, Lord : 
 
 and I thy greatness will unfold. 
 
 7 They utter shall abundantly 
 
 the mem'ry of thy goodness great : 
 And shall sing praises cheerfully, 
 whilst they thy righteousness relate. 
 
 8 The Lord our God is gracious, 
 
 compassionate i> he also; 
 In mercy he is plenteous, 
 
 but unto wrath and anger slow. 
 
 9 Good unto all men is the Lord : 
 
 o'er all his works his mercy is. 
 
 10 Thy work> all praise to thee afford: 
 
 thy saints, <) Lord, thv name shall 
 bless. 
 
 11 The glory of thy kingdom show 
 
 shall they, and of thy power tell : 
 
 12 That so men's sons his deeds may know, 
 
 his kingdom's grace that doth excel. 
 
 13 Thy kingdom hath none end at all, 
 
 it doth through ages all remain. 
 
 14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, 
 
 the cast down raiseth up again. 
 
 15 The eyes of all things, Lord, attend, 
 
 and on thee wait, that here do live; 
 And thou in season due, dost send 
 sufficient food them to relieve. 
 
 16 Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide, 
 
 and everything dost satisfy 
 
 That lives, and doth on earth abide, 
 of fhy great liberality. 
 
 17 The Lord is just in his ways all, 
 
 and holy in his works each one. 
 
 18 He's near to all that on him call, 
 
 who call in truth on him alone. 
 
 19 God will the just^oesire fulfill 
 
 of such as do him tear and dread: 
 Their cry regard and bear he will, 
 and save them m the time of need. 
 
 20 The Lord preserves ;ill. more and less, 
 
 that heir to him a loving heart: 
 
 But workers ;ill of wickedness 
 
 destroy will he, and clean subvert. 
 
 21 Therefore my month and lips I'll frame 
 
 to speak the praises of the Lord : 
 To magnify his holy name 
 forever let all flesh accord.

 Psalm CXLVI. 
 
 1 Praise God. The Lord praise O my 
 
 soul. 
 
 2 I'll praise God while I live : 
 While I have being, to my God 
 
 in songs I'll praises give. 
 
 3 Trust not in princes, nor man's son, 
 
 in whom there is no stay : 
 
 4 His breath departs, to's earth he turns; 
 
 that day his thoughts decay. 
 
 5 Oh happy is that man, and bless'd, 
 
 whom Jacob's God doth aid; 
 Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest, 
 and on his God is stay'd : 
 
 6 Who made the earth and heav'ns high, 
 
 who made the swelling deep, 
 And all that is within the same; 
 who truth doth ever keep : 
 
 7 Who righteous judgment executes 
 
 for those oppress'd that be; 
 
 Who to the hungry giveth food : 
 
 God sets the pris'ners free. 
 
 8 The Lord doth give the blind their sight; 
 
 the bowed-down doth raise : 
 The Lord doth dearly love all those 
 that walk in upright ways. 
 
 9 The stranger's shield, the widow's stay, 
 
 the orphan's help, is he : 
 But yet by him the wicked's way 
 turn'd upside down shall be. 
 
 10 The Lord shall reign for evermore, 
 thy God, O Zion, he 
 Reigns to all generations. 
 Praise to the Lord give ye.

 Psalm CXLVII. 
 
 1 Praise ye the Lord : for it is good 
 
 praise to our God to sing; 
 For it is pleasant, and to praise 
 it is a comely thing. 
 
 2 God doth build up Jerusalem; 
 
 and he it is alone 
 That the dispers'd of Israel 
 doth gather into one. 
 
 3 Those that are broken in their heart, 
 
 and grieved in their minds, 
 He healeth, and their painful wounds 
 he tenderly up-binds. 
 
 4 He counts the number of the stars; 
 
 he names them ev'ry one. 
 
 5 Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r, 
 
 his wisdom search can none. 
 
 6 The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts 
 
 the wicked to the ground. 
 
 7 Sing to the Lord and give him thanks; 
 
 on harp his praises sound. 
 
 8 Who covereth the heav'n with clouds, 
 
 who for the earth below 
 Prepareth rain, who maketh grass 
 upon the mountains grow. 
 
 9 He gives the beast his food, he feeds 
 
 the ravens young that cry. 
 
 10 His pleasure, not in horses' strength, 
 
 nor in man's legs, doth lie. 
 
 11 But in all those that do him fear 
 
 the Lord doth pleasure take; 
 In those that to his mercy do 
 by hope themselves betake. 
 
 12 The Lord praise, O Jerusalem; 
 
 Zion thy God con it 
 
 13 For thy gates' bars he maketh strong; 
 
 thy sons in thee doth bless. 
 
 14 He in thy borders maketh peace; 
 
 with fine wheat filleth thee. 
 
 15 He sends'forth his commands on earth, 
 
 his word runs speedily. 
 
 16 Hoarfrost, like ashes, scatt'reth he; 
 
 like wool he snow doth gi\e. 
 
 17 Like morsels casteth forth his ice : 
 
 who in its cold can live ? 
 
 18 Ho sendeth forth his mighty word, 
 
 and meltelh them apain; 
 Hi-, wind he makes to blow, and then 
 the water* flow amain. 
 
 19 The doctrine of his holy word 
 
 to Jacob he doth show; 
 His statutes and his judgments he 
 gives Israel to know. 
 
 20 To any nation never he 
 
 such favor did afford: 
 For they his judgments have not known. 
 O do ye praise the Lord. 
 
 Psalm CXLVIII. 
 
 1 Praise God. From heavens praise the 
 
 Lord , 
 in bights praise to him be. 
 
 2 All ye his angels, praise ye him; 
 
 his hosts all praise him ye. 
 
 3 O praise ye him, both sun and moon : 
 
 praise him, all stars of light. 
 
 4 Ye heav'ns of heavens him praise,and 
 
 floods 
 above the heavens' hight. 
 
 5 Let all the creatures praise the name 
 
 of our Almighty Lord; 
 For he commanded and they were 
 created by his word. 
 
 6 He also for all time? to come, 
 
 hath them establish'*! sure : 
 
 He hath appointed them a law, 
 
 which ever shall endure. 
 
 7 Praise ye JEHOVAH from the earth, 
 
 dragons, and ev'ry deep: 
 
 8 Fire, hail, snow, vapor, stormy wind, 
 
 his word that folly keep : 
 
 9 All hills and mountains, fruitful tree», 
 
 and all ye cedars high : 
 
 10 Beasts, and all cattle, creeping things, 
 
 and all ye birds that fly : 
 
 11 Kings of the earth, all nations, 
 
 princes, earth's judges all : 
 
 12 Both young men, yea, and maidens t< 
 
 old men and children small : 
 
 13 Let them God's name praise; for 
 
 name 
 alone is excellent : 
 His glory reaobeth far above 
 the earth and tirmament. 
 
 14 His people's horn, the praise of all 
 
 his saints exalteth he; 
 Ev'n Isr'el's seed, a people near 
 i^ bin). The Lord praise ye.

 SECOND VERSION. 
 
 1 Thk Lord of heav'n confess, 
 
 on high his glory raise. 
 
 2 Him let all angels bless; 
 
 him all his armies praise. 
 
 3 Him glorify, 
 
 Sun, moon, and stars, 
 
 4 Ye higher spheres, 
 And cloudy sky. 
 
 5 From God your beings are, 
 
 him therefore famous make; 
 You all created were, 
 
 when he the word but spake. 
 
 6 And from that place, 
 
 Where fix'd you be 
 By his decree, 
 You cannot pass. 
 
 7 Praise God, from earth below, 
 
 ye dragons, and ye deeps : 
 
 8 Fire, hail, clouds, wind and snow, 
 
 whom in command he keeps. 
 
 10 
 
 Praise ye his name, 
 Hills great and small, 
 Trees low and tall; 
 
 Beasts wild and tame; 
 
 All things that creep or fly: 
 
 11 ye kings, ye vulgar throng, 
 All princes mean or high : 
 
 12 both men and virgins young.* 
 
 Ev'n young and old, 
 
 13 % Exalt his name : 
 
 For much his fame 
 Should be extoll'd. 
 
 O let God's name be prais'd 
 above both earth and sky : 
 
 14 For he his saints hath rais'd, 
 
 and set their horn on high; 
 
 Ev'n those that be 
 Of Isr'el's race, 
 Near to his grace. 
 
 The Lord praise ye.

 Psalm CXLIX. 
 
 1 Praise ye the Lord : unto him sing 
 
 a new song, and his praise 
 In the assembly of his saints 
 in sweet psalms do ye arise. 
 
 2 Let Isr'el in his Maker joy, 
 
 and to him praises sing; 
 Let all that Zion's children are 
 be joyful in their King. 
 
 3 O let them unto his great name 
 
 give praises in the dance; 
 Let them with timbrel and with harp 
 in songs his praise advance. 
 
 4 For God doth pleasure take in those 
 
 that his own people be : 
 And he with his salvation 
 the meek will beautify. 
 
 5 And in his glory excellent 
 
 let all his saints rejoice ; 
 Let them to him upon their beds 
 aloud lift up their voice. 
 
 6 Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd 
 
 the high praise of the Lord, 
 And let them have in their right hand 
 a sharp two-edged sword; 
 
 7 To execute the vengeance due 
 
 upon the heathen all, 
 And make deserved punishment 
 upon the people fall : 
 
 8 And ev'n with chains, as pris'ners, bind 
 
 their kings that them command; 
 Yea, and with iron fetters strong, 
 the nobles of their land : 
 
 9 On them the judgment to perform 
 
 found written in his word ; 
 This honor is to all his saints. 
 O do ye praise the Lord. 
 
 Psalm CL. 
 
 1 Praise ye the Lord. God's praise 
 
 within 
 his sanctuary raise : 
 And to him in the firmament 
 of his pow'r give ye praise. 
 
 2 Because of all his mighty acts, 
 
 with praise him magnify; 
 O praise him us he doth excel 
 in glorious majesty. 
 
 3 Praise him with trumpet's sound; his 
 
 praise 
 with psaltery advance : 
 
 4 With timbrel, harp, string'd instruments, 
 
 and organs, in the dance. 
 
 5 Praise him on cymbals loud; him praise 
 
 on cymbals sounding high. 
 
 6 Let each thing breathing praise the 
 
 Lord. 
 Praise to the Lord give ye.
