Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

The second edition . PSAL. 119. vers . 54. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage . PSAL. 34. vers . 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Printed at Glasgow , by George Anderson , 1646. To the Reader . IN this second edition where it might be conveniently done , I have made the paraphrase sho●ter ; but by reason that a work of this sort is for a people and children who are rude , whereof many can not read , but sing after the line is read , I have shunned to be too concise , lest brevitie should breed obscuritie and many should sing without understanding : where two verses might be conveniently joined in four lines , I have striven to do it ; but when I saw that either it made the verse harsh or obscure , or that it behooved me to seeke other wordes then the words of the text , I rather choised to make the paraphrase a little wider , for to keep so far as I could the wordes of the text , which is the most acurat version , in my judgement , that hitherto hath beene . In some places obscure , I have striven to make the paraphrase like a commentarie , as for example , PSAL. 76.4 . Thou art more glorious and excellent then the mountaines of prey . By those mountains of prey , the Psalmist understands the enemies of Gods people that made the mountains their strength , and from thence came to spoil them : like those rebels and robbers that from the mountaines of Scotland have murdered and spoiled Gods Saints , and made a prey of them ; but this is our comfort , GOD is more glorious and excellent then the mountains of prey ; God at last will destroy them , for PSAL. 95.4 . The strength of the hills is his . The Paraphrase . Thou surely art more glorious and excellent alway , Then the most mighty foes that be in mountains seeking prey . Likewise , PSAL. 87.7 . As well singers as the players on instruments shal be there , All my springs are in thee : Those last words , all my springs are in thee , are difficle to many ; The Herbew is Col-majane bach , that is , Omnes fontes mei in te , that is , All my fountains or well-springs are in thee ; By those springs are understood the affections of the heart , whence spring out the praises of the Lord , as out of a fountaine . The Paraphrase . Both singers there and players al 's on instruments shall be , All my best hearts affections as well-springs are in theee . So have I done in diverse other places to make all clear and plain for the peoples use : As for some hard passages where I found great diversitie of opinions of worthy learned men , suspending my judgement , did strive to keep the words of the text , as PSAL. 110.3 . In the beauties of holinesse , from the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth . Some take the beauties of holinesse to be the ornaments of the Sanctuary : others referre them to the holy graces and vertues wherewithall the faithfull should bee beautified . As for those words , From the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth , they are very hard ; Some by the womb of the morning understand the essence of the God-head , that was early in the morning , before the world was made denoting the eternall generation of Christ ; This seemes to have beene the minde of the Septuagint , whose wordes are those , Of the wombe before the morning Starre begat I thee , Some take those words to be spoken of Christs man-hood , who had the dew of his birth of the obscure wombe of the Virgin ; Some , which I like best , interpret this of Christs Church , which is said , From the wombe of the morning to have the dew of her youth , that is , as the dew in the morning , aire is bred , as in a a womb , and falleth downe in many drops , so the children of God , the elected Ones shall in the Church be borne in great number by thee preaching of the Gospell : Others give other interpretations ; because of such a diversitie of opinions , I would not change a word of the text . The Paraphrase . In beauties of great holinesse with a most pleasant shew , From the fair mornings womb thou hast ev●n of thy youth the dew . Likewise , there is a great diversitie of opinions concerning those words , PSAL. 24.6 . This is the generation of them that seek him : that seek thy face , O Jacob. In the Hebrew , it is Mebakshe-Panecha-Jacob ; Some turne it of Jacob , some in Jacob , and so refer it to ● true Israelites ; Others , as our new versi●● which is most acurat , hath O Jacob , me●ning , as it is well marked on the marge● O GOD of Jacob , which interpretatio● seemes most fitting for the wordes : I ha●● keeped the wordes of the new version ●●ceived by our Church . The Paraphrase . This is the generation now of them that in each place Him seek ; O Jacob , that alwayes do humbly seek thy face . Those second labours as I did with th● former , I in all humilitie submit to th● judgement of my reverend brethren in th● Ministerie , The Spirits of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets 1 COR. 14.32 . THE PSALMES OF DAVID . PSALME I. BLest is the man that walks not in th'ungodlies counsell ill , Nor stands in wayes of sinners , nor in scorners seats sit still . verse 2 But in the law of God the Lord is alwayes his delight , And also he doth meditate in his law day and night . 〈…〉 foorth his 〈…〉 ●usly His leaf also at any time 〈◊〉 not wither shall at all , And whatsoever thing he doth it prosper surely shall . verse 4 The men ungodly are not so , but in their wicked way Are like the chaffe , which stormy wind doth quickly drive away . verse 5 Therefore th'ungodly shal not stand before the Judges face ; Nor in the righteous company the sinners shall have place . verse 6 For wel the Lord doth know the way even of the righteous all : But the way of ungodly men most surely perish shall . PSAL. II. WHy do the heathen fiercely rage , and people al 's profane Imagine in their foolish hearts a thing that is most vain ? verse 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves , and Rulers that are heer , ' Gainst GOD together counsell take , and his Anointed dear . verse 3 Let us their bands that are most strong asunder break , they say ; And from us also all their cords let us now cast away . verse 4 He that sits in the heavens above laugh at their folly shall , The Lord in wrath shall them at last have in derision all . verse 5 Then to them shal he speak in wrath , and them vex sore he will : verse 6 Yet have I set my King upon Sion , my holy Hill. verse 7 Now the decree declare I will , the LORD hath said , to me , Thou surely art my Son , this day have I begotten thee . verse 8 Ask of me , I 'le the heathen give for heritage to thee , The utmost parts of all the earth shall thy possession be . verse 9 With rod of yron in thy hand thou shalt soon break them small , Thou like a potters vessell shalt in pieces dash them all . verse 10 Now therefore , O ye mighty kings , be wise in what ye do , And ye the judges of the earth instructed be also . verse 11 Serve ye now with a Sonly fear the LORD your only choise ; With trembling also reverently at his service rejoice . verse 12 Kisse ye the Son , lest he with you be angry still alway , And when his wrath but kindled is , ye perish from the way ; Most blessed ever are all they that in their grief and smart Do constantly on him rely , and trust with all their heart . PSAL. III. LOrd , how are they increased thus that that sore do trouble me . They who against me now rise up , in number many be . verse 2 There many be who in disdain thus of my soul do say , For him in the almighty GOD , there is no help alway . verse 3 But thou , O LORD , most mighty art a shield for me indeed , My glory , and in troubles great the lifter of mine head . verse 4 Unto the LORD , I with my voice in prayer cryed still , And he me heard then by and by out of his holie hill . verse 5 With confidence I laid me down , and slept most quietlie , I al 's awaked , for the LORD alwayes sustained me . verse 6 I surely will not be afraid of thousands ten most stout Of people , that have set themselves against me round about . verse 7 A rise , O LORD , save me my GOD for thou my foes didst smite On the check bone : th'ungodlies teeth thou brok'st in pieces quite . verse 3 Salvation Surely doth unto the Lord belong alone , Thy blessing also plentifull thy people is upon . PSAL. IV. O Thou GOD of my righteousnesse when I do call give ear , Inlarg'd thou hast me from distresse , my prayer in mercy hear . verse 2 O sons of men ! How long will ye my glory turn to shame ? How long will ye love vanitie , and leesing seek to frame ? verse 3 But know that for himself the Lord , th'ungodly one and all Hath set apart ; the LORD will hear when I unto him call . verse 4 Stand now in aw and sin no more , and common ye with skill , With your own heart upon your bed and be ye alwayes still , verse 5 The sacrifice of righteousnesse now offer which is just , And in the great and mighty Lord put ye alwayes your trust . verse 6 Who will to us shew any good , there many be that say ? LORD , of thy countenance the light lift up on us alway . verse 7 Thou surely gladnesse in my heart hast put by thy good will , More then in times their corns & wine increased alwayes still . verse 8 I will both lay me down in peace , and sleep exceeding well , For thou LORD only dost me make in safety for to dwell . PSAL. V. GIve ear unto my words O Lord , my meditation weigh , verse 2 Hear thou my cry my King my God for I to thee will pray . verse 3 Thou in the morning shalt my voice Lord heare by thy goodwill ; At morning to thee will I pray and look up to thee still . verse 4 For thou art not a God that pleasd with wickednesse can'st be , Nor yet evill at any time , shall dwell at all with thee . verse 5 The foolish people in thy sight stand stedfast never shall , The workers of iniquitie , thou surelie hatest all . verse 6 Them that are leesing giv'n to speak thou wilt destroy therefore , The bloody and deceitfull man God alwayes will abhorre . verse 7 But in thy mercies multitude come to thy house I will , Thy Temple towards in thy feare I will thee worship still . verse 8 O Lord God , in thy righteousnesse me lead now I thee pray : Because of foes ; before my face make thou now straight thy way . verse 9 For in their mouth no treuth there is their inward's alwayes ill , Their throat 's an open sepulchre their tongues do flatter still . verse 10 O God , who ever righteous art destroy them great and small : Let them with shame & grief of heart by their own counsels fall . Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions hie , For in great wickednesse they have rebelled against thee . verse 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice alway , Let them for joy in every part , most gladly shout for ay . Because that thou them by thy hand defendest as they see . Let them also that love thy name be joyfull still in thee . verse 12 For thou , O Lord , the righteous man wilt blesse both in and out , With favour thou as with a shield , wilt compasse him about . PSALME VI. O Lord , while thou in anger art , me then rebuke thou not ; Nor yet me chasten for my sins , in thy displeasure hote . verse 2 Have mercy upon me O LORD , for I am weake truelie ; O LORD me heale , for all my bones with paine still vexed be . verse 3 My soul also in trouble great is all my foes among , Sore vexed ev'n continually , but thou , O LORD , how long ? verse 4 Returne , O LORD , deliver now my soul distressde and weak , Oh , save me by thy mighty hand , even for thy mercies sake . verse 5 For of thee in the place of death there no remembrance be ; Who lying dead within the grave , shall thanks give unto thee ? verse 6 I wearied with my groning am , all night I fill'd with fears Do make my bed to swim : my couch I water with my teares . verse 7 Mine eye consumed is because of grief and many woes ; It in this case still waxeth old because of all my foes . verse 8 Depart from me ye wicked all that worke iniquity .

PSAL. X. WHy in thine anger fierce , O Lor● thus standest thou afar ? Why hidest thou thyself from us when times of troubles are ? verse 2 The wicked in his pride the poor doth persecute greatlie , In plots which they imagin'd have let them all taken be . verse 3 For of his hearts desire alwayes the wicked man doth boast , And blesseth al 's the covetous man whom GOD abhorreth most . verse 4 Throgh the pride of his countenant the wicked great or small Will not seek GOD ; in all his though the LORD is not at all . verse 5 His wayes alwayes most grievous a● thy judgements where he goes Are far above out of his sight , he puffs at all his foes . verse 6 He hath said in his foolish heart , I shall not moved be , For I shall never in this life be in adversitie . verse 7 Great cursing , and deceit , and fraud his wicked mouth do fill , Under his tongue mischief alwayes and vanitie are still . verse 8 He lurking sits in villages , in secret places he Kills th' innocent , he'gainst the poor his eyes sets privilie . verse 9 Hee in his den lies lion like , in waite he lyes secret : To catch the poore , he him doth catch when drawn into his net . verse 10 With great deceit he croucheth down , himself he humbleth all , That by his strong ones at the last the poor may surely fall . verse 11 He foolish hath said in his heart ▪ God hath most certainlie Forgotten all ; he hides his face , he will it never see . verse 12 Arise , O Lord , make hast , O GO● lift up thy mightie hand , Forget not in thine anger great the humble of the land . verse 13 Wherfore doth wicked man in spi● GOD to contemne desire ?

XIV . THe fool hath said within his heart , there is no GOD at all , They are corrupt , they work mischief , none doth good , great or small . verse 2 The Lord look'd down from heaven upon mens children in each part , To see if any understood ; and sought God with their heart . verse 3 They altogether filthie are , they all aside are gone , There is none that doth good at all , yea truelie no not one . verse 4 Have workers of iniquitie no knowledge sound at all , Who eat my people up as bread , and on the LORD not call ? verse 5 There were they alwaies h great fea● for GOD who is most hie : Is in the generation still , of those that righteous be . verse 6 In your great pride ye shamed hav● the counsell of the poor , Because the Lord in his distresse is his refuge most sure . verse 7 O that the great salvation , of Israel ●ound about : Were by the Lords almighty hand , of Sion now come out .

And he that sweareth faithfully , in matters great or small Though to his own hurt , yet for this he changeth not at all . verse 5 He that his money not at all puts out to usurie , Nor takes reward against the just , such shall not moved be . PSAL. XVI .

O Pleasant heav'ns , that are above , with diligence give ear , ●nd I will speak , O earth below , the words of my mouth hear . verse 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rai● my speach as dew shall passe , As small rain on the tender herb and showres upon the grasse . verse 3 Because I surely publish will the blest name of the LORD , Ye greatnesse to our GOD therefore ascribe with one accord . The first Part. verse 4 He is the Rock , his work 's perfit his wayes all judgement be , A GOD of truth , void of all sin , most just and right is He. verse 5 They have corrupt themselves , th● sp● is not the spot alwayes Of his children , they are perverse , a race of crooked wayes . verse 6 Unwise people , do ye requite the LORD thus ? Is not He Thy Father , buyer ? Hath he not made and establish'd thee ? verse 7 Remember ye the dayes of old , yeers past consider well ; ●hy father aske , he will thee shew , thy Elders will thee tell . When the most High to Nations did th' inheritance divide , ●hen he the sons of Adam all did separate beside , ●e by his wisdome set the bounds of all the people then , ●ccording to the number of his Israels children . For the LORD for his portion hath his people without blot , ●cob of his inheritance most surely is the lot . He found them in a desart land and wast wildernesse ; He ●m led , instructed , and him kept , as th'apple of his eye . As th' Eagle stirreth up her nest , fluttreth her young upon , ●r wings doth spread , & taketh them to carry them thereon . verse 12 So by his might the LORD alon● did lead him carefully , And no strange GOD there was at all with him in company . verse 13 He made him ride on Cana'n hi● that he th' increase might eat , He made him oil and hony suck , from flintie rocks most sweet . verse 14 Butter of Kine and milk of Shee● he gave to every man , With fat of Lambs , and also Rams of the breed of Bashan . He gave them Goats with the fat of Kidneys of wheat right good , And of the sweet grapes thou didst di● the pure wine red like blood . The second Part. verse 15 But Jeshurun who should have b● most righteous , then did kick , Thou waxed art exceeding fat , thou art grown very thick : Thou cov'red art with fatnesse ; the● his maker he forsook , ●nd of his sure salvations rock no care at all he took . verse 16 With strange gods they provoked him unto great jealousie , With great abominations they him angry made to be . verse 17 They sacrificed unto devils , to gods whom they not knew , Whom your fathers did never fear , even gods that were but new . verse 18 Thou art unmindfull of the Rock which once thee did beget , ●nd the Lord God that formed thee , thou didst alwayes forget . The third Part. verse 19 And when the Lord it saw , he did abhorre them all anone , ●ecause of the provoking great of Daughter and of Son. verse 20 He said , I will from them my face hide , and I will now see ●heir end ; they are a froward race in whom no faith can be . verse 21 With that which is not GOD the● hav● me mov'd to jealousie , To anger they have me provok'd with their great vanitie : I them also to jealousie , with such as are no flock Will move ; to anger them with fool● I surely will provoke : verse 22 For in my wrath fire kindled is , such as no tongue can tell , It shall not cease alwayes to burn even to the lowest hell ; It shall consume the earth all with her increase , mans desire , And the foundations of the mount shall surely set on fire . verse 23 Upon them of mischief a heap I certainly will send , I also on them in my wrath , mine arrows now will spend . verse 24 They shall consumed be and burnt with pain of hunger great , ●nd suddenly shall be devour'd with a most burning heat . ●nd with bitter destruction I will also on them thrust ●he teeth of beasts , with poison al 's of serpents of the dust . The sword without , terrour within destroy shall , and not spare ●he young man , virgin , suckling al 's , with the man of gray hair . verse 26 I said , I into corners would them quickly scatter , then would make their rememberance to cease from among men . verse 27 Were it not that I the great wrath fear'd of the enemie , ●est their vaine adversaries should behave themselves strangly , ●nd lest that they pu●t up with pride , should say those words anone , ●ur hand now high his , and the LORD this work all hath not done . verse 28 For they all a vaine Nation are of wholesome counsell void , No understanding good at all in them doth still abide . verse 29 O that they were wise , so that they thes clearly understood , That they would now their latter end consider for their good . verse 30 How should but one a thousand chase , and two al 's put to flight Ten thousand , if their Rock had not them sold and shut up right ? verse 31 For their rock in no way is as our rock that mighty is , We none but even our enmies seek , for to be Judge of this . verse 32 Of Sodom and Gomorrahs field their vine I truely call , Their clusters great most bitter are , their grapes are grapes of gall . verse 33 Their wine is Dragons poison , which doth from those grapes distill , And is the cruel venime of vile Aspes that men do kill . verse 34 Is not this wickednesse laid up in a great store with me , And up among my treasures al 's even sealed secretly ? The fourth Part. verse 35 To me belongeth vengeance , and recompence for their crime , Their foot shall slide assuredly in due appointed time ; For their day of calamitie is surely neer at hand . And the things that shal come on them make hast , and shall not stand . verse 36 For the LORD who is mercifull shall when he is content His people judge , and al 's himself for his servants repent : When that he sees their power al gone and them of help berest , And that in their calamitie there 's none shut up or left . verse 37 And he in his great wrath shal say , where are their gods of might , Their stable rock in whom alwayes they trusted day and night . verse 38 Which ate fatlings & wine offrings , in drink did not reject , Let them rise up , & with their strength you help , and al 's protect . verse 39 See now that I am he , even I no god there is with me ; I kill , I also make alive , I wound , heal , as yee see . Nor is there any that how can out of my hand deliver : verse 40 For I lift up my hand to heav'n , and say , I live for ever . verse 41 If on judgement my hand take hold , and glistring sword I whet , I 'll render vengeance to my foes , and crush those that me hate . verse 42 I will mine arrows in my wrath ( which is now kindled sore ) Make drunk with blood & al 's my sword shall fiercely flesh devore , And that with the blood of the slain , and men that captives be , From the beginning of revenge upon the enemie . verse 43 Rejoice ye nations with his folk , for he who doth not change , Will the blood of his servants dear most speedily avenge . And to his adversaries will a vengeance render full , And to his people and his land will be most mercifull .

While for good grapes I looked still , it brought wilde grapes anone . verse 5 And now go to I will you tell , what to my vineyard I Will do , I will the hedge thereof away take by and by . Then shall it all be eaten up , I will break down its wall , And it by wild beasts of the field shall down be troden all . verse 6 I also now will lay it wast , it shall not pruned be Nor digged , but sharp briers & thorns come up ye all shall see . I likewise in my furious wrath the clouds all will command , That they shall neither day nor night raine down upon its land . verse 7 For of the LORD the vineyard is the house of Israel , And Judahs men his pleasant plant , which others should excell .

Mine eyes do fail with looking up and very dimmed be ; O Lord , I am oppressed sore , now undertake for me . verse 6 What shall I say ? He spoken hath , and al 's hath done no lesse , I shall go softly all my yeers in my souls bitternesse . verse 7 In all those things is of my sprit the life ; they that belive Do live by them ; Recover me , and so make me to live . verse 8 Behold , for a desired peace I had great bitternesse , But thou in love hast sav'd me from the pit of rottennesse ; For thou who of afflicted men dost ever notice take , In thy great mercy all my sins , hast cast behind thy back , verse 9 The grave can not thee praise , and death can not thee magnifie , They that go to the pit can not in hope rest well on thee . verse 10 The living , yea the living shall thee praise as I this day ; The fathers to their children al 's shall teach thy truth alway . verse 11 The Lord was ready me to save ; therefore we with accord , To the string'd instruments will sing , in the house of the Lord.
