PSAL. XXXVII.

FRet not thy ſelf becauſe of thoſe

that evill doers be,

Nor yet envious be at ſuch

as work iniquitie.

verse 2 For ſoon ev'n like unto the graſſe

cut down ſhall they be all,

And like unto the herbe that's green

they ſurely wither ſhall.

verse 3 Truſt in the Lord with all thine heart

and carefullie do good,

And thou ſhalt dwell into the land

well fed with needfull food.

verse 4 Delight thy ſelf in God alſo,

and he in every part

Moſt lovingly beſt deſires

ſhall give thee of thy heart.

verse 5 In all affaires commit thy way

unto the LORD thy King;

In him alſo truſt thou alway

who it to paſſe ſhall bring.

verse 6 And as the light thy righteouſneſ…

he ſhall bring foorth alway,

And ſhal thy judgement clearly ſh…

as bright as the noon-day.

verse 7 Reſt in the LORD with confidenc…

and without all debate

In every thing moſt patiently

ſee that for him thou wait.

Fret not thy ſelf becauſe of him

that proſpreth in his way,

Becauſe of him that brings to paſſe

devices ill alway.

verse 8 Ceaſe from the rage of anger ho…

and wrath forſake thou ſtill,

Fret not thy ſelf in any wiſe

to do that which is ill.

verse 9 For thoſe that evill doers be

ſhall be cut off in all,

And they that wait upon the Lord

the earth inherit ſhall.

verse 10 For yet a little while, and loe

the wicked ſhall not be:

Yea thou his place conſider ſhalt,

and it thou ſhalt not ſee.

verse 11 But all the meek inherit ſhall

the earth in every place,

And greatly ſhall delight themſelves

in th'abundance of peace.

verse 12 The wicked man againſt the juſt

doth plot him for to kill.

And with his teeth moſt furiouſly

he gnaſheth on him ſtill.

verse 13 The Lord ſhall ſurely ſcorn & laugh

at him in all his way,

For he in heaven doth clearely ſee

that comming is his day.

verse 14 The wicked have drawn out their ſword,

and bent their bow with might,

The poore and needy to caſt down,

and to ſlay men upright.

verse 15 Their ſword ev'n into their owne heart

moſt quickly enter ſhall,

Their bones not able us to hurt,

ſhall als be broken all.

verse 16 A little that the righteous hath

is ſurely better then

The riches in abundance great

of many wicked men.

verse 17 For of the wicked folk the arme

ſhall ev'n be broken ſmall:

But ſtill the LORD in mercy great

upholds the righteous all.

verse 18 The Lord moſt perfectly doth kne…

the dayes of the upright:

And their inheritance ſhall be

for ever in his ſight.

verse 19 They ſhall not be aſhamed in

ev'll tymes of miſerie,

And in the dayes of famine great

they ſatiſfied ſhall be.

verse 20 But wicked men ſhall periſh, and

Gods foes as lambs fat all

Shall be, they ſhall conſume, to ſmo…

conſume away they ſhall.

verse 21 The wicked man doth borrow oft

and not again doth pay:

But ſtill the righteous mercy ſhewes

and giveth much alway.

verse 22 For ſuch as of him bleſſed be

the earth inherit ſhall,

And they that curſed be of him,

ſhall be cut off in all.

verse 23 A good mans ſteps are by the I

ev'n ordred well alway,

And he in loving kindneſſe ſtill

delighteth in his way.

verse 24 And though he fall, he utterly

ſhall not in all the land

Be too caſt down, for that the LORD

upholds him with his hand.

verse 25 I have been young, and now am old

yet juſt men and their ſeed,

I have not thus forſaken ſeene,

as forc'd to beg their bread,

verse 26 He ever is moſt mercifull

when he ſees men in neede,

And alſo lendeth chearefully,

and bleſſed is his ſeede.

verse 27 Depart from ill with all thine he

and good doe more and more,

And thus through Gods protection

dwell thou for evermore.

verse 28 For well the Lord doth judgeme… lo…

ſuch as are ſaints indeed

B… ſtill preſerv'd, but of ill men

cut off ſhall be the ſeed.

verse 29 The righteous all that fear the Lo…

inherit ſhall together

The pleaſant land, and joyfully

ſhall dwell therein for ever.

verse 30 The mouth of him doth wiſedo… ſpe…

that righteouſly doth walk,

His tongue alſo inſtructed ſtill

of judgement ſound doth talk.

verse 31 The law of his moſt gracious Go…

doth in his heart abide,

In whatſoever way he walks

none of his ſteps doth ſlide.

verse 32 The wicked man the righteous …

doth watch both night and day,

And by all means he can deviſe

he ſeeketh him to ſlay.

verse 33 The Lord will not him in his hand

leave, as ſome think amiſſe,

Nor yet for wicked him condemne.

even when he judged is.

verse 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,

and thee exalt ſhall he

The land to have; when wicked are

cut off, thou ſhalt it ſee.

verse 35 The wicked very great in power

I have attentive ſcene,

And ſpreading forth himſelf at large,

like to a Lawrell greene.

verse 36 Yet he away did paſſe, and lo

he was not on his ground;

Yea, I him ſought moſt carfully,

but he could not be found.

verse 37 The perfect man mark, and behold

the upright for a ſpace,

For after all his troubles paſt,

the end of him is peace.

verse 38 But the tranſgreſſours fearfully

ſhall be deſtroy'd together,

The end of all the wicked men

ſhall be cut off for ever.

verse 39 But the ſalvation of the juſt

is of the LORD at length,

In time ev'n of their troubles grea…

he is their onelyonly ſtrength.

verse 40 God ſhall help and deliver the

from men that are unjuſt;

He ſhall deliver them and ſave

becauſe they in him truſt.

PSAL. XXXVII.I

O Lord though 'gainſt thee …

in wrath rebuke me not,

Nor yet ſeverely chaſten me

in thy diſpleaſure hote.

verse 2 For thy ſharp arrowes ſtill do

faſt in me more and more,

And als thy hand which heavy i…

me preſſeth very ſore,

verse 3 There is no ſoundneſſe by thy wrath

my troubled fleſh within,

Nor in my bones is reſt becauſe

of my moſt grievous ſin.

verse 4 For mine iniquities moſt vile

gone ov'r my head now be,

Even as a heavy burden they

too heavy are for me,

verse 5 My fearefull wounds are all corrupt

and ſtink in my diſtreſſe,

All this is come to me, becauſe

of mine owne fooliſhneſſe,

verse 6 I troubled am with ſorrowes great,

and bowed downe alway,

So greatly that afflicted I

go mourning all the day.

verse 7 For a diſeaſe that loathſome is

my loines doth alwayes fill,

So that in all my weari'd fleſh

there is no ſoundneſſe ſtill.

verse 2 I feeble am and broken ſore:

I have in this my ſmart

Ev'n roared ſtill by reaſon of

diſquietneſſe of heart.

verse 9 O LORD my GOD, my whole de…

is ſtill before thine eye.

My heavy groning in my grief

is not now hid from thee.

verse 10 My heart doth pant, my ſtreng… likew…

me faileth left alone;

As for the cleare light of mind eyes

it all is from me gone.

verse 11 My lovers and my friends aloof

from my ſore ſtanders are,

My kinſemen als, as I have proof,

do likewiſe ſtand a farre.

verse 12 Thoſe alſo that do ſeek my life,

for me their ſnares do lay;

They ſpeak miſchief, and als deceit

imagine all the day.

verse 13 But as a deaf man I indeed,

heard neither great nor ſmall,

And as one dumb I was, that his

mouth op'neth not at all.

verse 14 Thus I was as a man that doth

not hear in any way:

And in whoſe ſilent mouth alſo

are no reproofes alway.

verse 15 For I in thee alone, O LORD,

do hope, moſt free of fear,

O LORD my GOD, when I do cry

thou ſurely wilt me hear.

verse 16 For I ſaid, Hear me, leſt that they

rejoice ſhould over me;

They'gainſt me when my foot doth ſlip

themſelves do magnifie.

verse 17 For I ſore troubled ready am

to halt ev'n more and more,

My ſorrow als continually

is recent me before:

verse 11 For I ſincerely will declare

my great iniquitie:

I alwayes for my grievous ſin

will ſurely ſorry be.

verse 19 But my malicious en'mies all

are lively, ſtrong, and great;

And they are alſo multiplied

that wrongfully me hate.

verse 20 They alſo that unthankfully

for good me render ill,

Mine adverſaries are; becauſe

what's good I follow ſtill.

verse 21 O LORD, my GOD, forſake me…

far from me never be;

verse 22 O LORD, who my ſalvation a…

make haſte for help to me.

PSAL. XXXIX.

I Said, I will now carefully

take heed unto my way,

Leſt with my tongue moſt fooliſhl…

I ſin and go aſtray:

I with a bridle ſtrong will keep

my mouth ſtill more and more

While that the wicked alwayes is

in preſence me before.

verse 2 I was then dumb with ſilence d…

from good I held my peace:

My ſorrow great exceedingly

was ſtirred in its place,

verse 3 My heart within me ſtill was hote,

while I was muſing long:

The fire did burn exceedinglie,

then ſpake I with my tongue.

verse 4 Lord, make me now to know mine end

and meaſure of my dayes,

And what it is, that I may know

how frail I am alwayes.

verse 5 Behold, thou as an handbredth haſt

my dayes all made to be,

And all mine age heer on the earth

as nothing is to thee:

Yea, verily, heer ev'ry man

though he were never ſo great

Is altogether vanitie,

ev'n at his beſt eſtate.

verse 6 Surely man walks in a vain ſhew

diſquieted in vain,

He heaps up riches and not knows

who gather ſhall that gain.

verse 7 And now, Lord, in this time of grief

what wait I now for me,

My hope that alwayes ſtedfaſt is

is ever ſtill in thee.

verse 8 From my moſt vile tranſgreſſions▪

deliver now thou me,

And make me not of fooliſh men

a baſe reproach to be.

verse 9 Thus troubled very ſore I was,

even dumb without reply,

Becauſe thou didſt it, I my mouth

not opned by and by.

verse 10 Remove thy ſtroke away from …

which I cannot withſtand,

I am conſumed by the blow

of thy moſt heavy hand.

verse 11 When with rebukes thou doſt co… re…

man for iniquitie,

Thou waſts his beautie like a moath

each man is vanitie.

verse 12 My prayer Lord hear, and now unt…

my cry incline thine ears,

By miſregard hold not thy peace

at thoſe my wofull tears:

For I with thee moſt ſurely am

a ſtranger here and there,

And a ſojourner for a ſpace,

as all my fathers were.

verse 13 O ſpare me that I may my ſtrength

recover as before,

Before I go away from hence,

and after be no more.

PSAL. XL.

WIth confidence ſtill for the Lord

I waited patiently,

And loving he to me inclin'd,

and quickly heard my cry.

verse 2 He brought me from a fearfull pit

out of the mirie clay;

And ſet my feet upon a rock,

and ſtabliſh'd faſt my way.

verse 3 A new ſong in my mouth he put

GODS praiſe for to record:

Yea many ſhall it ſee and feare,

and ſhall truſt in the LORD,

verse 4 Bleſt is the man that makes the Lord

his truſt to which he flies,

And not reſpects the proud, nor ſu…

as turne aſide to lies.

verse 5 O Lord my GOD, full manie be

thy wondrous works moſt rare

Which thou haſt done, & als thy tho…

which to us-ward ſtill are:

They can not all be reckned up

in order unto thee,

If I them would declare, they are

mo then can numbred be.

verse 6 Thou ſacrifice and offrings als

didſt not at all deſire,

Mine eares thou opned, but for ſin

no offrings didſt require.

verse 7 Then ſaid I Lord, loe now beh…

I gladly come to thee,

For in the volume of the book

it written is of me:

verse 8 I take delight thy bleſſed will

to doe in every part,

Yea, LORD, thy law moſt holy is

alwayes within my heart.

verse 9 In the great congregation I

have preach'd thy righteouſneſſe;

My lips I have not, Lord thou knowſt;

refrained more or leſſe.

verse 10 Thy righteouſneſſe within my heart

to hide I had no will,

Thy faithfulneſſe I have declar'd

and thy ſalvation ſtill.

Thy kindneſſe which moſt loving is

I not concealed have,

Nor from the congregation great

thy truth which thou me gave.

verse 11 Thy tender merciemercy now, O LORD,

withhold thou not from me:

Me let thy kindneſſe and thy truth

preſerve continuallie,

verse 12 For ills innumerable ſtill

me compaſſd round about,

My ſins have taken hold on me,

thus can I not look out,

They are in number ſurelie mo

then hairs upon mine head,

Therefore my heart through grie…

me faileth all indeed.

verse 13 Be pleaſd, O Lord, that now …

delivered be by thee;

O LORD in mercy make great h…

to ſend thy help to me.

verse 14 Let ſhame confound them that

my ſoul for to deſtroy,

Let thē be backward driven & ſha…

that ev'll me wiſh with joy.

verse 15 And for reward of their great ſh…

let them be ſtill alway

Moſt deſolate, that unto me

Aha, Aha do ſay.

verse 16 Let all thoſe that thee ſeek rejo…

and ſtill be glad in thee,

Let ſuch as thy ſalvation love,

ſay, GOD we magnifie.

verse 17 But I am poor and needy als,

the LORD yet thinks on me,

Thou my deliv'rer art and help,

LORD let no tarrying be.

PSALME XLI.

HE bleſſed is that endevours

the poor for to conſider,

The LORD in time of troubles great

will ſafelie him deliver.

The LORD will him preſerve alive,

and bleſſe him ever ſtill,

And thou wilt not deliver him

into his enmies will.

The Lord wil ſtrengthen him when as

he languiſhing is laid

Upon his bed; in ſickneſſe ſore

thou wilt make all his bed.

verse 4 I ſaid, in mine affliction, LORD,

be mercifull to me,

And heal my wounded ſoul, for I

have ſinned againſt thee.

verse 5 Mine enmies all ſpeak ill alwayes

of me; me to defame

When ſhall he die, and when alſo

ev'n periſh ſhall his name?

verse 6 If he to ſee me come, he ſpeaks

words altogether vain,

His heart ſin gathreth, when he go…

he tells it all again.

verse 7 All that me hate, againſt me ſtill

do whiſper great and ſmall,

Againſt me do they wickedly

deviſe my hurt in all.

verse 8 An ill diſeaſe ſay they doth clea…

unto him faſt and ſore,

And now that he in bed doth lye

he ſhall riſe up no more.

verse 9 Yea more mine own familiar frie…

in whom I truſted well,

Which at my table ate my bread,

againſt me lift his heel.

verse 10 But thou, O Lord, be mercifull

now unto me alway,

And by thy favour raiſe me up

that them requite I may.

verse 11 By this I clearly now do know

I favour have of thee,

Becauſe mine enemie that is fierce

doth not triumph ov'r me.

verse 12 And as for me, thou me uphold'ſt

in mine integritie,

And thou alſo before thy face

for ever ſetteſt me.

verse 13 The LORD, the GOD of Iſrael

be bleſſed among men,

From everlaſting and for ay,

Amen, yea and Amen.

PSAL. XLII.

EVen as the hunted Hart doth pant

at water brooks to be,

So doth my poor diſtreſſed ſoul

O GOD pant after thee.

verse 2 My ſoul doth thirſt for God, for God

that's living evermore:

When ſhall I come for to appear

the mightie God before?

verse 3 My teares have been mine only meat

by night and als by day,

While they continuallie to me

where is thy God do ſay.

verse 4 When I thoſe things remember, I

in me my ſoule anone

Powre out; for with the multitud…

in gladneſſe I had gone,

With them unto the houſe of God

I went without delay,

With voice of joy & praiſe, with th…

that did keep holy day.

verse 5 O why art thou caſt down my ſo…

what doth diſquiet thee?

Hope thou in God, for yet I ſhall

him praiſe for helping me,

verse 6 O God, my ſoul is quite caſt dow…

I thee remember will

From Hermonites and Jordans …

and from the Miſſar hill.

verse 7 At the noiſe of thy water ſpouts

deep unto deep doth call,

Thy waves and als thy billows great

are now gone ov'r me all.

verse 8 His loving kindneſſe yet the Lord

command will in the day,

Unto the God even of my life

by night I'le ſing and pray.

verse 9 My rock, why haſt thou me forgot?

to God now ſay I will.

Why for my foes oppreſſion

thus mourning go I ſtill?

verse 10 As with a ſword within my bones

mine en'mies me alway

Reproch, while daily unto me,

where is thy God they ſay?

verse 11 O why art thou my ſoul in grief

caſt downe as one oppreſt?

Why art thou thus diſquieted

in me, and takes no reſt?

Hope thou in GOD, for I ſhall yet

him praiſe with heart anone,

Who of my count'nance is the health

and als my GOD alone.

PSAL. XLIII.

IUdge me, O GOD, my cauſe againſt

PSAL. XLIIII.

WEE with our ears have heard G…

our fathers have us told,

What great work thou didſt in their dayes,

even in the times of old.

verse 2 How thou the heathen didſt drive out

and plant them with thy hand,

How thou the people didſt afflict

and caſt out of the land.

verse 3 For they not in poſſeſſion ſure,

the land that they did crave

Did get by their own proper ſword,

nor did their arme them ſave;

But thy right hand, and als thine arm

and the light of thy face,

Becauſe to them a favour great

thou hadſt in every place.

verse 4 Thou art mine everlaſting King,

O God for ever bleſſd,

Thy deliv'rances now command

for Jacob ſore diſtreſſd.

verse 5 Through thee ſurely we will puſh down

our emnies all unwiſe,

We through thy name wil down them tread

that up againſt us riſe.

verse 6 For ſurely in my brittle bow

no truſt at all I'le have,

Nor yet in any place my ſword

from danger ſhall me ſave.

verse 7 But thou from all our enemies haſt

us ſaved by thy Name,

And as for thoſe that hated us,

thou haſt them put to ſhame.

verse 8 In God who ſtrong and mighty is

we boaſt even all the day,

And for thy grace and kindneſſe gre…

we praiſe thy Name alway.

verse 9 But thou in wrath hath caſt us off

as being of no worth,

And haſt us put to ſhame, and with

our armies goes not forth.

verse 10 Thou mak'ſt us all to turn the b…

from th'enmies that us foil,

And they that hate us cruelly

us for themſelves do ſpoil.

verse 11 Thou haſt us giv'n like ſheep for me

to thoſe that do us wrong:

And thou in wrath ha… ſcattred us.

the heathen all among.

verse 12 For nought unto their wicked foes

thou ſell'ſt thy people ſmall,

And do'ſt not by their naughty price

increaſe thy wealth at all.

verse 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach

thou haſt us pointed out,

A ſcorn and a deriſion als

to all men round about.

verse 14 Among the heathen thou us mak'ſt

a by word ſtill indeed,

And als among the people all

a ſhakeing of the head.

verse 15 Before me my confuſion great

appears continuallie,

And of my face the ſhame like wiſe

hath alſo covered me.

verse 16 Even for his voice that doth reproch

and alſo doth blaſpheme,

By reaſon of the enmie great,

and avenger extreame.

verse 17 This ill all is upon us come,

yet thee forget not we,

Nor in thy Cov'nant all we have

once falſly dealt with thee.

verse 18 Our heart is not by any meanes

turn'd back from thee alway,

Nor yet in going have our ſteps

declined from thy way.

verse 19 Though in the place of Dragons fe…

thou haſt us broken ſore,

And with the ſhadow cov'red us

of death to be no more.

verse 20 If of our God the glorious Name

forgotten now we have.

Or to a ſtrange God ſtretched out

our hands his help to crave.

verse 21 Shall not the LORD Omnipotent

in wrath now ſearch this out?

For he the ſecrets deep doth know

of all mens hearts throughout.

verse 22 Yea, for thy ſake by wicked men

we kill'd are all the day,

We for the ſlaughter counted are

as ſheep to be alway.

verse 23 O Lord, why now thus ſleepeſt thou?

awake for to conſider;

Ariſe with ſpeed unto our help,

caſt us not off for ever.

verse 24 Wherfore thy face frō us thine own

thus hides thou more and more?

And our affliction doſt forget,

and our oppreſſion ſore?

verse 25 For down unto the duſt our ſoul

is bow'd, which doth us grieve;

Our belly in this trouble great

unto the earth doth cleave.

verse 26 Ariſe thou quickly by thy ſtrength,

now for us help to make,

And us in trouble now redeeme

ev'n for thy mercies ſake.
