1.

Rejoyce in God, O ye
That righteous be;
For cherfull thankfulness,
It is a comely part
In them whose heart
Doth cherish rightfulness.

2.

O, prayse with heart the Lord;
O, now accord
Viols with singing voice;
Let ten-stringd instrument,
O, now be bent
To witness you rejoice.

3.

A new, sing a new song
To Him most strong,
Sing lowd and merrily:

1.

Blessed is he whose filthy stain
The Lord with pardon dos make cleane,
Whose fault well hidden lyeth;
Blessed indeed to whom the Lord
Imputes not sins to be abhord,
Whose spirit falshood flyeth.

2.

Thus I, prest down with weight of pain,
Whether I silent did remain
Or roar'd, my bones still wasted;
For so both day and night did stand
On wretched me Thy heavy hand,
My life hott torments tasted.

3.

1.

All, all my trust, Lord, haue I put in Thee,
Never, therfore, let me confounded be,
But saue me, saue me in Thy righteousness:
Bow down Thy eare to heare how much I need;
Deliver me, deliver me in speed;
Be my strong rock, be Thou my forteress.

2.

In deed Thou art my rock, my forteress;
Then since my tongue delights that Name to blesse,
Direct me how to go, and guide me right;
Preserue me from the wyly trapping net

PSALM XXX

Exaltabo te, Domine

1.

O lord, Thou hast exalted me,
And sav'd me from foes' laughing scorn;
I owe Thee prayse, I will prayse Thee.

2.

For when my heart with woes was torn,
In cryes to Thee I shewd my cause,
And was from evill by Thee vpborn;

3.

Yea, from the graue's most hungry jawes
Thou would'st not set me on their score,
Whom death to his cold bosom drawes.

4.

Prayse, prayse this Lord then evermore,
Ye saints of His, remembring still

PSALM XXIX .

Afferte Domino.

1.

Afferte Domino

1.

Ascribe unto the Lord of light,
Ye men of power by birth-right,
Ascribe all glory and all might.

2.

Ascribe due glory to His name,
And in His ever glorious frame
Of sanctuary, do the same.

3.

His voice is on the waters found,
His voyce doth threatning thunders sound,
Yea, through the waters doth resound.

4.

The voice of that Lord ruling us
Is strong, though He be gracious,

PSALM XXVIII .

Ad te, Domine clamabo.

1.

To Thee, O Lord, my cry I send;
O my strength, stop not Thine eare,
Least if answer Thou forbeare,
I be like them that descend
To the pitt, where flesh doth end.

2.

Therfore while that I may cry,
While I that way hold my hands,
Where Thy sanctuary stands,
To Thy self those words apply,
Which from suing voice do fly.

3.

PSALM XXVII .

Dominus illuminatio.

1.

The shining Lord He is my light,
The strong God my salvation is,
Who shall be able me to fright?
This Lord with strength my life doth blisse;
And shall I then
Feare might of men?

2.

When wicked folk, even they that be
My foes, to utmost of their pow'r,
With rageing jawes environ me,
My very flesh for to devoure,

PSALM XXIV .

Domini est terra.

1.

The earth is God's, and what the globe of earth containeth,
And all that in that globe doth dwell,
For by His power the land vpon the ocean raigneth,
Through Him the floods to their beds fell.

2.

Who shall climb to the hill which God's own hill is named?
Who shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath hurtless hands, whose inward heart is framed

PSALM XXV .

Ad te, Domine.

1.

To Thee, O Lord most just,
I lift my inward sight;
My God, in Thee I trust,
Let me not ruin quite:
Let not those foes that me annoy
On my complaint build vp their joy.

2.

Sure, Lord, who hope in Thee
Shall never suffer shame;
Lett them confounded be

PSALM XXIII .

Dominus regit me.

The Lord, the Lord my shepheard is,
And so can never I
Tast misery.
He rests me in green pastures His;
By waters still and sweet
He guides my feet.

Hee me revives, leads me the way
Which righteousness doth take,
For His name's sake:
