TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL Sr. JOHN WOLLASTON , Knight and Alderman of the Honourable City of London . Right worshipfull , SVch are my known ingagements to your self , and your worthy and vertuous Lady , that all men may justly expect ( if God put any thing into my hands ) I should not defraud you of the honour and acknowledgements which I owe to you both , but rejoyce to expresse my gratitude to God almighty , in raising up to me such speciall and precious friends , to so great advantage and increase of my long-despaired health , as hath made me of late to omit complaints , and many to wonder at the change . Besides , Sir , your own cost and kindnesse hath been , by Gods blessing , the onely Sun-shine to ripen these my labours , & produce them to the publike , and that ( breaking thorow so may difficulties ) I should be able to bring them to this perfection , that at least they are usefull while the old ones are in use , for 35. whole ones of these and many parts and pieces of the rest ( which call Collects ) are ( verse for verse ) of the sam● quantity with the old , and may be sung in publike , while some ( wedded to custom ) sing the old without any incongruity at all : so that n●ne can possibly point out any considerable psalm , or par● of a psalm , that is well done of the old , but her● it is to be found , and the absurdities removed neither is any thing left out , which is not so poor and imperfect , or far off the words and sense , a● that it is requisite to be made wholly new , or i● not already taken into the new . Wherefore I humbly present it as a token of my thankfulnesse , praising the Lord for you , and praying the Lord to enrich you , and my much Honoured Lady with abundance of heavenly forwardnesse , faithfulnesse , and fruitfulnesse , which may be summed up to the glory of God , and furtherance of our account in the day of Iesus Christ our Lord , Your worships fervent and faithfull Minister , to his utmost , WILLIAM BARTON .

To any generall tune . ** THat man is blest and blest again , that doth not walk astray , By counsels of ungodly men , nor stands in sinners way : 2 Much lesse sits down in scorners seat , but here is his delight , Upon the Law of God the Lord to studie day and night . 3 He shall be like a tree that grows fast by the rivers side : That brings forth ripe and timely fruit , which still is fresh suppli'd . Whose leaf doth never fade nor fall , but flourish still and stand : Even so shall all things prosper well , that this man takes in hand . 4 So shall not the ungodly men , they shall be nothing so : But as the dust , which , from the earth , the winde drives to and fro . 5 Therefore shall not the wicked men in judgement stand upright : Nor in th' assembly of the just shall sinners come in sight . 6 For why , the way of godly men , unto the Lord is known : Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown . PSAL. 3. The first Metre . O Lord how are my foes encreast that vex me more and more ? They kill my heart , when as they say , God can him not restore . 2 But thou , O Lord , art my defence when I am hard bestead ; 3 My worship and my honour both , and thou holdst up my head . 4 Then with my voice unto the Lord , I did both call and crie : And he out of his holy hill , did hear me by and by . 5 ¶ I laid me down most quietly , I slept and rose again ; For why , I knew assuredly the Lord did me sustain . 6 Although ten thousand hem'd me in , I would not be afraid : For thou art still my Lord and God , my Saviour and mine aid . 7 Rise up therefore , save me , O Lord , for now to thee I call : For thou hast broke the cheeks and teeth of these transgressors all . 8 Salvation only doth belong to thee O Lord above : Thou dost bestow upon thy folk thy blessing and thy love . PSAL. 4. The first Metre , * O God that art my righteousnesse , Lord hear me when I call : Thou hast set me at libertie , when I was bound in thrall . 2 Have mercy Lord therefore on me , and grant me my request : For unto thee uncessantly , to cry I will not rest . 3 O mortall men how long will ye my glory thus despise ? Why wander ye in vanitie , and follow after lies ? 4 Know ye that good and godly men , the Lord doth take and chuse : And when to him I make my plaint , he doth me not refuse . 5 Sin not , but stand in aw therefore , examine well your heart : And in your chamber quietly , see ye your selves convert . 6 Offer to God the sacrifice of righteousnesse , I say : And see that in the living Lord you put your trust alway . 7 ¶ The greater sort crave worldly goods , and riches do embrace : But , Lord , grant us thy countenance , thy favour and thy grace . 8 For thou , O Lord , hast made my heart more joyfull and more glad , Then when they brought in corn and wine , and great increase was had . 9 In peace therefore lie down will I , taking my rest and sleep : For only thou alone , O Lord , Wilt me in safety keep . PSAL. 5. The second Metre . O Lord consider my complaint , incline thine ear to me ; 2 And hear my voice , my King , my God , I make my prayer to thee . 3 Hear me betimes , Lord tarry not , for I will have respect , My prayer , early in the morn , to thee for to direct . 4 And I will wait with patience , on thee my ●od alone : Thou art not pleas'd with wickednesse , and ill with thee dwels none . 5 And in thy sight shall never stand , these wicked fools , O Lord : Vain workers of iniquity , thou alwayes hast abhorr'd . 6 Thou shalt destroy the flatterers , and them that utter lies : Bloud-thirsty and deceitfull men , will God abhor likewise ; 7 Therefore will I come to thy house , trusting upon thy grace : And reverently will worship thee , toward thy holy place . 8 ¶ Lord , lead me in thy righteousnesse , for to confound my foes ; And in what way I ought to walk , before my face disclose . 9 For in their mouth there is no truth , their hearts are foul and vain ; 10 Their throat 's an open sepulchre , their tongues do fawn and feign . 11 Destroy their false conspiracies , that they may come to nought : Subvert them in their heaps of sin , which have rebellion wrought . 12 But they that put their trust in thee , let them be glad alwayes : And render thanks for thy defence , and give thy Name the praise . 13 For thou wilt blesse and magnifie the righteous man no doubt , And with thy grace as with a shield , wilt compasse him about . PSAL. 7. The Collect. * O Lord my God I put my trust and confidence in thee , Save me from them that seek my soul , and fully set me free . 2 Lest like a lion fierce and fell , he tear and rend my soul , While there is no deliverer , his fury to controul . 3 ¶ O Lord my God , if I have done the thing that is not right ; Or else if I be found in fault , or guilty in thy sight : 4 And to my friend rewarded ill , or left him in distresse , Which hath pursued me wrongfully , and did my soul oppresse : 5 Then let my so pursue my soul , and let him take , and tread My life even down unto the ground , and lay mine honour dead . 6 O thou that art of all men judge , now judge my righteous cause ; According to my righteousnesse , and thy most righteous laws . 11 ¶ I take my help to come of God , in all my pain and grief : He doth preserve the pure in heart , and sends them sweet relief . 15 Behold , the wicked travelleth , with mischief in his minde ; Conceiving sin and wickednesse , and bringeth forth the winde . 16 He digs a ditch and del●es it deep , in hope to catch his brother ; But he shall fall into the pit , that he dig'd up for other . 17 Thus wrong returneth to the hurt , of him in whom it bred ; And all the mischief that he wrought , shall fall upon his head . 18 I will give thanks to God therefore , that judgeth righteously : And with a song will praise the Name of him that is most high . PSAL. 8. The first Metre . ** O Lord our Lord , how wonderfull is thy Name every where ? Whose fame surmounts in dignity above the starrie sphere . 2 Even by the mouths of sucking babes , thou wilt confound thy foes ; For in these babes thy might is seen , thy graces they disclose . 3 And when I see the heavens high , the works of thine own hand : The Sun , and Moon , and all the stars , in order as they stand . 4 What thing is man , Lord , think I then , that he should be in minde ? Or what is mans posterity , to whom thou art so kinde ? 5 For thou hast made him little lesse , then Angels in degree ; And thou hast also crowned him , with highest dignitie . 6 Thou hast prefer●'d him to be Lord , of all thy works of wonder : And hast set all things at his feet , that he should keep them under , 7 As oxen , sheep , and all beasts else , that in the fields do feed , 8 Fowls of the air , fish of the sea , and all that therein breed . 9 Therefore , O Lord , that art out Lord , must I repeat the same : How excellent in all the earth , is thy most glorious Name ! PSAL. 9. The Collect. *** VVIth heart and mouth unto the Lord will I sing laud and praise : And speak of all his wondrous works , and them declare alwaies . 2 I will be glad and much rejoyce , in thee O Lord most high : And with my songs extoll thy Name above the starrie skie . 3 Because my foes are driven back , and put to shamefull flight : They fall down flat , and are destroyed by thy great power and might . 7 ¶ Know then that he which is above for evermore shall reign , And in the seat of equity true judgement will maintain , 9 He is protector of the poor , what time they be opprest : He is their succour in distresse , their refuge and their rest . 11 ¶ Sing Psalms therefore unto the Lord , that dwels in Sion hill . Publish among the nations all , his noble acts and will . 12 For he is mindfull of the bloud of poor oppressed 〈◊〉 : Forgetting not the afflicted heart , but hea●s their sighs and groans . 15 He lets the heathen fall into the pit that they prepar'd : And in the net that they did set , are they themselves insnar'd . 18 But sure the Lord will not forget the poor mans grief and pain : The patient people never look for help of God in vain . 19 O Lord arise , lest men prevail , that be of worldly might : And let the heathen folk receive their judgement in thy sight . 20 Lord strike such terrour , fear and dread into the hearts of them : That they may know assuredly , they be but mortall men . PSAL. 10. The first Metre . * VVHat is the cause that thou , O Lord , art now so far from thine ? And keepest close thy countenance from us this troublous time ? 2 The poor do perish by the proud and wicked mens desire : Let them be taken in the craft that they themselves conspire . 3 For in the lust of his own heart the ungodly doth delight : And he doth bl●●se the covetous abhorred in thy sight : 4 He is so proud , that right and Wrong he setteth all apart : There is not any God , saith he , for thus he thinks in heart . 5 Because his waies do prosper still , he doth thy laws contem ' : He puffs at all his enemies , sets light by thee and them . 6 Tush , tush , saith he , I have no dread that mine estate should change : Because that all adversity to him is very strange . 7 ¶ His mouth is full of cursednesse , of fraud , deceit and guile : Under his tongue doth mischief fit , and worketh all the while . 8 He lieth hid in waies and holes , the innocent to slay : Against the poor his eyes are ben● , that passe along the way . 9 And , like a Lion , privily lies lurking in his den , If he may snare them in his net , to spoil poor simple men . 10 And for the nonce full craftily he croucheth down , I say : So are great heaps of poor men made , by his strong power , his prey . The second part . * 11 TUsh , God forgetteth this , saith he , therefore I may be bold : His countenance is cast aside , he doth it not behold . 12 ¶ Arise , O Lord , O God , in whom the poor mans hope doth rest : Lift up thy hand , forget not , Lord , the poor that be opprest . 13 What blasphemie is this to thee ? Lord , dost thou not abhor it ? To hear the wicked in their hearts say , tush , thou car'st not for it ? 14 But thou seest all their wickednesse , and well dost understand , That friendlesse and poor fatherlesse are l●ft unto thy hand . 15 Of wicked and malicious men then break the power fo● ever : That they with their iniquity may perish altogether . 16 ¶ The Lord shall reign for evermore , as King and God alone : And he will chase the heathen folk out of his land , each one . 17 Unto the poors complaint and cry , thou giv'st a gracious ear : Thou wilt prepare their patient heart , and cause thine ears to hear . 18 To judge the poor and fatherlesse , and help them to their right : That they may be no more opprest by men of worldly might . PSAL. 11. The first Metre . Sing this to any generall tune . * I Put my confidence in God , why therefore do you say , That as a bird unto her hill , my ●●ul should flee away ? 2 For lo , the wicked bend their bowes , their arrows they prepare , To shoot in secret , and to hurt the souls that upright are . 3 Of worldly help all stayes were shrunk , and clearly brought to nought : As for the good and righteous man , what hath the righteous wrought ? 4 ¶ But he that in his Temple is , most holy and most high , And in the heavens hath his seat of royall Majesty : The poor and simple mans estate considereth in his minde : And searcheth out full narrowly the manners of mankinde : 5 And with a chearfull countenance the righteous man will use : But in his heart he doth abhor all such as mischief muse : 6 And on the sinners casteth snares , as thick as any rain : Brimstone and fire , and whirl-windes thick , appointed for their pain . 7 Ye see then how a righteous God doth righteousnesse embrace : And to the just and upright men shews forth his pleasant face . PSAL. 12. The first Metre . * HElp Lord , for good and godly men do perish and decay : And faith and truth from worldly men is parted clean away . 2 Who so doth with his neighbour talk , his talk is all but vain : For every man bethinketh how to flatter , lie , and fain . 3 But flattering and deceitfull lips , and tongues that be so stout , To speak proud words , and make great brags , the Lord soon cuts them out . 4 For they say still , we will prevail , our tongues shall us extoll : Our tongues are ours , we ought to speak , what Lord shall us controll ? 4 But for the great complaint and cry of poor , and men opprest : I will arise now , saith the Lord , and them restore to rest . 6 ¶ Gods Word is like to silver pure , that from the earth is tried : And hath no lesse then seven times in fire been purified . 7 Now sith thy promise is to help , Lord , keep thy promise then : And save us now and evermore , from this ill kinde of men . 8 For now the wicked world is full of mischiefs manifold : When wicked men do bear the sway , and vice goes uncontrol'd . WIthin thy Tabernacle , Lord , who shall continue still ? And whom wilt thou receive to dwell in thy most holy hill ? 2 The man whose life is uncorrupt , whose works are just and straight : Whose heart doth think the very truth , whose tongue speaks no deceit . 3 That to his neighbour doth none ill , in body , goods , or name : Nor willingly doth move false tales , which might empair the same . 4 The man in whose impartiall eyes , vile persons are abhor'd ; But he doth greatly honour those that truly fear the Lord . 5 His oath and all his promises that keepeth faithfully : Although he make his conenant so , that he doth lose thereby : 6 That putteth not to usury the money that he lent ; Nor will he take reward at all against the innocent . 7 Who so doth all things as you see , that here is to be done : Shall never perish in this world , nor in the world to come . PSAL. 17. The first Collect. * O Lord give ear to my just cause , attend when I complain : And hear the prayer that I put forth , with lips that do not fain . 3 Thou hast well tried me in the night , and yet couldst nothing finde : For , that my mouth should not transgresse I purpos'd in my minde . 4 As for the works of wicked men , and paths perverse and ill , For love of thy most holy Name , I have refrained still . 5 Then in thy paths that be most pure , do thou my soul preserve , That from the way wherein I walk , my st●ps may never swerve . 6 For I do call to thee O Lord , surely thou wilt me aid : Then hear my prayer , and weigh right well the words that I have said . 14 ¶ Lord save me by thy mighty power , out of these tyrants hands : Which now so long a time have raign'd , and kept us in their bands . 15 I mean , from worldlings , unto whom all worldly goods are rife : That have no hope nor part of joy , but in this present life . 16 Thou giv'st them store of thy hid treasure and children to their minde ; They spend thereof , and leave the rest unto their babes behinde . 17 But I shall see thy blessed face with purest conscience view'd : And waking shall be satisfied with thy similitude . PSAL. 18. The Collect. * O God my strength and fortitude , I love thee vehemently : Thou art my castle and defence in my necessity . 2 My God my rock , in whom I trust , the worker of my wealth : My refuge , buckler , and my shield , and horn of saving health . 4 ¶ The pangs of death did compasse me , and held me every where : The flowing waves of wickednesse , did put me in great fear . 5 The slie and subtill snares of hell were round about me set : And for my feet there was prepared a deadly trapping net . 6 I thus beset with pain and grief , did pray to God for grace : And he forthwith did hear my plaint out of his holy place . 15 And from above the Lord sent down to fetch me from below : And pluck'd me from the waters deep , about to overflow . 20 Because I walked in his waies , and in his paths have trod : And have not wandred wickedly , departing from my God . 21 But evermore I had respect to his entire decree : His statutes and commandements I cast not out from me . 22 But pure , and clean , and uncorrupt , appear'd before his face : And did abstain from wickednesse , and sin in any case . 23 The Lord therefore will me reward , as I have done aright : As is the cleannesse of my hands . appearing in his sight . PSAL. 19. The Collect. * HOw perfect is the Law of God , how is his covenant sure ? Converting souls , and making wise the simple and obscure . 8 Just are the Lords commandements , and glad both heart and minde : His precepts pure , and do give light to eyes that be full blinde . 9 ¶ The fear of God is excellent , and doth endure for ever : The judgements of the Lord are true , and righteous altogether : 10 And more to be embraced alway , then fined gold , I say : The honey and the honey-comb are not so sweet as they . 11 By them thy servant is fore-warn'd to have God in regard : And in performance of the same , there shall be great reward . 12 ¶ But , Lord , what earthly man doth know the errours of his life : Then cleanse my soul from secret sins which are in me most rife : 13 And keep me that presumptuous sins prevail not over me : And so shall I be innocent , and great offences flee . 14 Accept my mouth , accept my heart , my words and thoughts each one : For my redeemer and my strength , O Lord thou art alone . PSAL. XXII . Col. * O God my God , wherefore dost thou forsake me utterly ? And dost not hear when I complain , nor hearken to my cry ? 2 To thee , my God , even all day long , I do both cry and call , And all the night I do not cease , yet hear'st thou not at all . 6 Behold , I am become a worm more liker then a man , An out-cast , whom the people spurn with all the spite they can . 11 O Lord depart not now from me , in all my pain and grief ; Since I have none my help to be , none else to send relief . 20 ¶ Lord , save me from the cruell sword , by thy almighty power ; And keep my dear and darling soul , from dogs that would devour . 25 Among the folk that fear the Lord will I thy praise proclame ; And keep my vow and promise made for setting forth thy Name . 26 The poor shall eat and be suffic'd , and you that seek the Lord , Your heart shall live for evermore , his praises to record . 28 The kingdoms of the heathen folk shall worship and adore , For God shall be their governour , and King for evermore . PSAL. XXV . 1. M. 1. part . Have mercy , &c. I Lift my heart to thee , My God and guide most just : Now suffer me to take no shame , for in thee do I trust . 2 Let not my foes rejoyce , nor make a scorn of me : And let them not be overthrown , that put their trust in thee . 3 But shame shall them befall , which harm them wrongfully : Therefore thy paths and thy right waies unto me , Lord , descry : 4 Direct me in thy truth , and teach me in thy way : Thou art my God and Saviour , on thee I wait all day . 5 ¶ I pray thee , Lord , remember , thy mercies manifold , And thy compassions plentifull , for they have been of old . 6 Remember not the faults , and frailty of my youth : Remember not how I have sinn'd against thy blessed truth . Nor after my deserts let me thy mercy finde : But of thine own benignity Lord , have me in thy minde . 7 ¶ His mercy is full sweet his truth a perfect guide : Therefore the Lord will sinners teach , and such as go aside . 8 The humble he will teach his precepts for to keep ; He will direct in all his wayes , the lowly and the meek . 9 For all the waies of God are mercy , truth and grace : To them that keep his Covenant , and do his laws embrace . PSAL. XXV . 2. P. I.

XC . the Collect. 13 INstruct us , Lord , to know and try , how long our daies remain : That then we may our hearts apply , true wisdom to attain . 14 ¶ Return , O Lord , how long wilt thou forth on in wrath proceed ? Shew favour to thy servants now , and help them at their need . 16 As thou hast plagued us before , now also make us glad : And for the years , wherein full sore affliction we have had , 17 O let thy works and power appear , and on thy servants light : And shew unto thy children dear , thy glory and thy might . 18 Lord , let thy grace and glory stand , on us thy servants thus : Confirm the works we take in hand , and prosper them to us . PSAL. XCIII . 1.

How long shall wicked men , I say , thus triumph and rejoyce ? 4 How long shall they with brags burst out , and proudly prate their fill ? Shall they rejoyce and be so stout , whose works are ever ill ? 5 Thy flock , O Lord , thine heritage they spoil , and vex full sore : Against thy people they do rage , still daily more and more . 6 The widows which are comfortlesse , and strangers they destroy : They slay the children fatherlesse , and none doth put them by . 7 And when they take these things in hand this talk they have of thee , Can Jacobs God this understand ? tush no , he cannot see . 8 ¶ O folk unwise , and people rude , some knowledge now discern : Ye fools among the multitude , at length begin to learn . 9 Shall not the Lord that made the ear , the Lord that made the eye , What , shall not he both see and hear ev'n all things perfectly ? 10 The Lord doth all the world correct , and makes them understand : Shall he not then your deeds detect ? how can ye scape his hand ?

Or who shall rid me from their hand , that wicked works maintain ? 17 ¶ Except the Lord had been mine aid , mine enemies to repell : My soul and life had now been laid , almost as low as hell . 18 When I did say , my foot doth slide , I now am like to fall : Thy goodnesse , Lord , thou didst provide , to stay me up withall . 19 When with my self I mused much , and could no comfort finde : Then , Lord , thy goodnesse did me touch , and that did ease my minde : 20 ¶ Lord , shall the thrones of wickednesse have fellowship with thee : Which make a Law for to oppresse , and plead , it s thy decree ? 21 Lo , they consult against the life of righteous men and good : And in their counsels they are rife , to shed the guiltlesse blood . 22 But yet the Lord he is to me a place of sure defence : He is my God , to him I flee , my strength and confidence . 23 Their mischiefs on themselves shall fall , and ( taken in their crimes ) The Lord our God shall slay them all , and cut them off betimes .

And for his sheep he doth us take . 4 O enter then his gates with praise , Approach with joy his courts unto : Praise , laud , and blesse his Name alwaies , For it is seemly so to do . 5 For why , the Lord our God is good , His mercy is for ever sure : His truth at all times firmly stood , And shall from age to age endure .

FINIS . NOte that all the Psalms that are put in whole , m● readily be sung in Churches , while others sing the old , for the verses are neither more nor fewer , then the●● were before . So also may the Collects , if the Clark read them , or d● point out and declare the verses before-hand . Note also that one single star points a dolefull tune two stars a solemn , or middle tune , three stars a joyfu● tune ; and they are set onely ( or for the most part ) to Psalms that go in a generall tune ( i.e. ) such as serve for all eights and sixes generally . Lastly , note that every new beginning of fresh matter is marked with a Paragraph thus ¶ which is placed between the verse and the line , which is devised to make short parts , and to discern suddenly where to begin . Note this amendment of Psal. 146. v. 3. 2.

Here follow the rest of the new-made Psalms , that are not extant in the first Impression . Psalm V. 1. Met. Our Father which , &c. LOrd , weigh my thoughts , my voice attend , My King , my God , to me give ear : To thee my pray'rs and cries I send , My voice i' th morning thou shalt hear : I' th morning , Lord , will I direct , My prayer to thee , and will expect . 2. For thou in sinne hast no delight , No ill shall dwell with thee , O Lord : The fool abides not in thy sight ; All wicked works thou hast abhorr'd , Falshood , deceit and cruelty , Thou dost detest , and wilt destroy . 3. But I in thy abounding grace , Thy house will visit in thy fear ; And worship in thy holy place , O teach me , Lord , thy justice there : Make straight thy paths before mine eyes , Because of all mine enemies . 4. A wicked heart within they have , A faithlesse mouth , a flattering tongue : Their throat is like a gaping grave , Let their own counsels lead them vvrong : Destroy them , cast them out therein , And in their multitudes of sinne : 5. For thee they have rebell'd against : But let believers joy in thee , And shout for joy in thy defence , And all thy lovers joyfull be : For thou wilt blesse the just , O Lord , And make thy grace his shield and guard . Psal. VI . 1. Met. O Lord consider , &c. IN anger , Lord , rebuke me not , For I am very weak and low , Chastise not when thy wrath is hot , But , Lord , to me thy mercy show : Lord heal me , for my bones are vext , But thou , O Lord , how long a space ? My soul is also sore perplext , Return and save me of thy grace . My soul , O Lord , preserve and save , For none in death remembers thee , Nor any thanks thee in the grave ; Thou seest my groaning wearieth me : All night I make my bed to swim , Watering my couch with weeping eyes , Mine eye with grief grows old and dim , Because of all mine enemies . Ye workers of iniquity , Depart from me , depart ye all ; For loe the Lord hath heard my cry , My weeping voice and tears that fall . The Lord will hear the prayer I frame , The Lord hath heard , and hath reliev'd ; Let all my foes return with shame , With sudden shame sore vext and griev'd . Psal. XIIII . 1. Met. Give laud unto , &c. THe fool hath said in heart There is no God at all ; They are in every part Corrupted by the fall : There 's none doth good , But they have wrought things vile & nought , even all the brood . 2 The Lord did cast his eye , From heaven his holy throne , On mans posterity ; To see if any one He might discern , That understood the things of God , or sought to learn . 3 They all are gone aside , They doe themselves defile , They all are wandred wide , Become exceeding vile : And there is none Of all mankinde to good inclin'd , no sure not one . 4 Have wicked workers all , No knowledge generally ? Who have not grace to call , Upon the Lord most hie : Loe they are fed , ●vouring here my people dear , even like to bread . 5 But yet they were in fear , And great the fear must be , For God doth still appear In good mens company ; And keepeth them , ● every place , I mean the race of righteous men . 6 But ye have put to shame , The counsell of the poor , Because the Lord became His refuge to secure . O that there were ● Israel some salvation come from Sion there . 7 When as the Lord brings back Our hard captivity , And lets not Israel lack So great a cause of joy : Then surely shall Jacob rejoyce with heart and voice , and Israel all . Psal. XVII . 2. Col. O praise the Lord , &c. KEep me as th' apple of thine eye , And make thy wings my Canopy , From wickednes , And deadly foes that me inclose , and much oppresse . 2 They are inclos'd in their own fat , And proudly prate they care not what , They hemme us round In our steps now ; Their eys they bow down to the ground . 3 Like greedy Lions seeking prey , Or Lions whelp in secret way ; O Lord arise , Defeat my foe , and overthrow his enterprize . 4 From wicked men that are thy sword , From men that are thy hand , O Lord , My soul ô save , From worldlings meer , that only here their portion have . 5 Whose bellies fill'd with thy hid treasure , They spend their substance at their pleasure ; And leave unto Their babes the rest , for they are blest with babes enough . 6 But as for me , I have accesse To see thy face in righteousnes . And waking , shall Thy vision see , and I shall be fill'd therewithall . Psal. XXIII . 1. Met. *** THe living Lord my shepherd is , and he that doth me feed ; Since he is mine , and I am his , what comfort can I need ? ● He leads me to the tender grasse , where I both feed and rest ; Then to the streams that gently passe , in both I have the best . Or if I stray , thou dost convert and bring my minde in frame ; And all this not for my desert ; but for thy holy Name . ● Yea , tho I walk in shade of death , yet I will fear no ill , Thy rod , thy staff so comforteth , and thou art with me still .

THe fool hath said in heart , There is not any God : Corrupt in every part , And none of them doth good , Such Atheisme lurks ●n every one , that they have done most odious works . 2 The Lord from Heaven hie , Lookt down on earth below , On mans posterity : That he might see and know , What paths men trod , If any man did understand , and seek for God . 3 But all are gon astray , Become most base and vilde , And wandred from the way , And filthily defil'd : So that they can , No good thing do , nor move thereto , no , not a man . 4 What have they knowledge none , That work iniquity ? They have not call'd upon : The Lord that is most hie , But they devour My folk like bread , & on them fed , with tyrant-power . 5 They were in fear and dread , Where was no cause of fear , For God hath scattered , Their quarters here and there , That have encampt , Against our cause . And hence it was they were so dampt . 6 Lo , thou hast put to shame , Thy hatefull enemies , In God's Almighty Name , That did thy foes despise . O that there might , Salvation still , from Sion hill , on Israel light . 7 When as the Lord shall please , To bring our bondage back , And gives his folk the eate● And gives his folk the ease , And liberty they lack : Glad news shall we In Jacob tell , and Israel full glad shall be . Psal. LVIII . 1. Met. Ye children which , &c. DO ye speak righteousnesse indeed , O ye that are of mortall seed ? O Congregation judge ye right ? 2 Yea , ye in heart work wickednesse , Your hands with violence oppresse , the earth can scarcely bear your weight . 3 They are estranged from the way , And from the womb they go astray ; no sooner born then speaking lies , 4 As serpents poison , such is theirs ; Deaf adder-like they stop their ears , and will not hear in any wise . She will not hear the charmers voice , Although his charms be wise and choice , she will not hearken to a word . 6 Lord , break their keen and cruell fangs , The eager tooth and tusk that hangs in these young lions mouths , O Lord . 7 As waters let them melt away , Which constant run , and have no stay ; and let his aimed arrows fail : 8 And when he bends his bowe to shoot , Let them drop broken at his foot , and let them melt as doth a snail . 9 So let them passe away on earth , As woman-kindes untimely birth , that they may never see the Sun , 10 Before your pots can feel the thorns , He 'l blast them as with whirlwinde storms : Alive , in living wrath begun . 11 The righteous shall rejoyce to see Vengeance on them that wicked be , and he shall wash his feet in blood : 12 So that a man shall sure confesse , Sure there 's reward for righteousnesse , sure there 's a just earth-judging God . Psal. LXVII , 1. Met. Give laud , &c. LOrd blesse us of thy grace , Be mercifull to thine : And let thy pleased face Upon thy servants shine .

But I am needy , weak and poor , Make haste , to help me , Lord , therefore : My help and my deliverer , Thou art , O Lord , do not defer .

Still , God be prais'd , let all men say , that on his aid relie : And make , O Lord , no more delay , for in great want am I . 5 O Lord , I am exceeding poor , mine only and art thou : Make haste to help me , Lord , therefore , and make no tarrying now .

Thou lay'st me in the lowest ward , Where darkest , deepest dungeons are : 5 Thy wrath upon me lieth hard , And all thy bitter storms I bear . 3 My friends from me thou hast restrain'● , And made me loath'd in lovers eyes : 9 In prison I am fast detain'd , Mine eye laments my miseries . O Lord , I daily call'd on thee , My humble hands I meekly raise : 10 Shall dead men , Lord , thy wonders see ? Shall dead men rise to give thee praise ? 11 ¶ Lord , can the grave thy grace expresse , Thy faithfull truth destruction teach ? 12 Thy wonders and thy righteousnesse , Can dark and dumb oblivion preach ? 13 Betimes , O Lord , will I direct , My humble suits and cries to thee : 14 Why dost thou , Lord , my soul reject , Why dost thou hide thy face from me ? 15 My tortur'd soul is pain'd to death , While from my youth I alwaies bear 16 The heavie burdens of thy wrath , Thy terrours and distracting fear : 17 They clos'd me round as waters deep , They compasse me at once , I say : 18 From me my lovers thou dost keep , And mine acquaintance hid'st away .

Which Heav'n shall to thy praise declare In works to be admired at : And where thy Saints assembled are , Shall tell thy truth , and treat of that . 3 For whom , like thee doth Heav'n afford , What earthly Kings thy equals be ? Who art among the Saints ador'd , And fear'd of all that wait on thee : ¶ O Lord of hosts , what Lord is found , So faithfull or so strong as thou ? Who sets the seas their certain bound , And tam'st their rage , for thou knowst how . 4 Thou didst afflict all Egypt land , As one made weak by wounds and woes : And , by the pow●r of thy strong hand , Thou hast dispersed all thy foes .

All they that are delivered , from archers gunners cannons frightfull noise , The righteous acts of God the Lord , they shall rehearse with joyes .

Thou sentest forth thy servent fume , Which them , as stubble , did con●ume : And all together , Thy nostrils blast did gather fast The waters thither . 8.

And since the Lord Jehovah is The eternall rock of strength to his , In his great Name for ever trust : He gives the proud the overthrow , He layes the lofty City low , Even to the ground , even to the dust 8 , 10 , 11. Yea Lord , in thine own judgments way , We waited for thee every day ; Our souls desire is to thy Name : But let thy favour be declar'd To wicked men they 'l not regard , Nor learn religion by the same . But most unjustly will transgresse , Ev'n in the land of uprightnesse . And will not see Gods Majesty , But they shall see , and see with shame , And feel , as foes , thy fiery flame , For envying our felicity . ver. 18. & 12. Lord we have been with child in vain , And we have been in grievous pain , And ( as it were ) brought forth the winde . For , by our power we have not wrought The least deliverance can be thought , In all the earth , in any kinde ; Nor have the inhabitants of the earth , Fall'n by the power that we put forth ; But by thy strength are undertrod ; For Lord thou wilt ordain ( at last ) True peace for us , because thou hast Wrought all our works in us , O God . ver. 20. & 21. O come my people , enter thou Into thy secret chambers now , And shut the doors about thee fast : And hide thy selfe now , as it were , But for a little moment there , Untill the wrath be over past : For lo the Lord comes from his place , To punish this malignant race , For wickednesse that they maintain ; The earth shall also now disclose , The bloudshed of our barb'rous foes , And shall no more conceal her slain : VII .

FINIS . Courteous Reader . BE pleased to take notice that this book , in bigger Print , differs not greatly from my smaller printed Psalm-book , but onely in order , which thou may'st reconcile by observing these rules . 1. In the first place are bound up my own composed Psalms , and in the little print , they are commonly the second metres . 2. In the second place are bound up all the old Psalms , by me amended , and in the little print they are commonly the first meter , but whither so or no , they are referred unto , and the title tels what metre they are . 3. In the last place follow the Psalms composed by my self and others , and they are commonly of choicer tunes , viz. Ye children , &c. O Lord consider , &c. and in the little print are alwaies the first metre , as the title doth also refer . 4. The Collects must be alwaies looked for after the meters . Note also that all the Psalms may be sung in one of these 5 well known tunes . viz. the 119 the 67 the 100 the 113 the 148 but only such as the fift ps. I. m. and the 17. 2 Coll. which go sweetly in a part of the 113. & 148 as the first & second metres of the 117 Ps. in the smaller print do shew by musick notes , Only remember , in those of my first impression in this book , to read two lines into one . wherever you meet with but 4 syllables in a line , as in the eight Psalm . Note also that the old Psalms done by me , are printed in greater letter then the rest , & those for the present I specially commend for the publick use , of which , those that are entire Psalms , or entire parts , may be sung without offence , while others keep to their old Mumpsimus ; Do you not know , that somewhere , the Dutch , French , and English sing one and the same Psalm in their severall languages , because the measures and tunes differ not ? Lastly , know that there are ready to be added to these impressions , at least 40 more of the old Psalms , ( whereof the 119 is one ) and in the old tunes , and divers hymns are also ready to be added , when it shall please God to give the Authour incouragement by the Houses allowance of them in publique . And here follows a taste of each , to incite thee to desire them . Accept this staffe to make up the 10 part of the 119 Psal. & doubt not but all the rest shall be done as well . Psal. 119. ver. 79. 80. Let all that fear thee turne to mee And all that understand How just and good the precepts bee , the which thou doest command . My heart unto thy Statutes frame , ev'n so sincere and sound , That Sin may never bring me shame , Nor shame my soul confound , Psal. LXXII . 2. Metre . *** Lord give thy judgments to the King , That justice may be done : And give the rule of governing Unto his princely Sonne . 2 Then shall he govern uprightly , And do thy people right : Then shall he judge , with equitie , The poor that have no might . 3 And then , by means of righteousnes , There shall be great increase : In every corner fruitfullnesse , Prosperity , and peace . 4 Then shall he help the poor , & weak , And them that suffer wrong ; And , by his pow'r , in peeces break Oppressors great , and strong . 5 And then , from age to age , shall they , Regard and fear his might , So long as Sun doth shine by day , Or else the moon by night . 6 He shall descend as showrs of rain , On mowen grasse do drop , Which make the ground to spring again , And bear a second crop . 7 The just shall flourish in his dayes , And all shall be at peace , Untill the very Moon decaies , And all its motions cease . 8 He shall be Lord of Sea and Land , From shore to shore , throughout : From Sea to Sea , on either hand , And all the Earth about . To answer suffer for us all . A man of sorrows , sure he was , And he hath born our grief : Mean while , we hid our face from him , And gave him no releif . Jh. 10. 11 , & 15. 13. Lo , this is that good shepherd then , That Good shepherd indeed , That lost his life to save his sheep , That they might never bleed . or That layd his life down for the sheep , which he do●h watch and feed . Agreater love then this hath none , Nor none can comprehend , Then that a man should stake his life , And loose it for his friend . Rom. 5. 7. 8. For scarce will any die for him , That lives most righteously . Yet happ'ly , for a speciall friend Some one might dare to die . But God commends his love to us , And he commends it thus , In that , when wee were enemies , Christ freely di'd for us . Heb. 13. 15. By him therefore let 's give to God The sacrifice of prayse . Fruit of our li●s in giving thanks , Unto his Name alwayes . FINIS .
