Hymn XCVIII. For one that hears himself much praised.
[_]
As Praise is a spurre to Vertue; so it may poyson us with pride, and puffe us up with selfe-conceit, if it be not warily and modestly entertained. Therefore, this Hymn, sheweth with what musings, we should prevent such effects, when we are commended.
Sing this as the 4. Psalme.
[1]
My Sins, and Follies, Lord, by thee,From others hidden are,
That, such good words are spoke of me,
As, now and then I hear:
For sure if others knew me such,
Such as my Self, I know;
I should have bin disprais'd as much
As I am praised, now.
2
By me, some Good, perhaps hath binPerform'd in publike view:
But, what corruptions are within,
Asham'd I am to shew.
My brutish Lusts, my secret Pride,
My Follies, yet unshown;
(Which from thy sight, I cannot hide)
To others, are unknown.
3
The Praise, therefore, which I have heardDelights not so my mind,
193
Which in my self I find.
And, I had rather to be blam'd,
So I were blameles made,
Then for much Vertue to be fam'd,
When I no Vertues had.
4
Though Slanders to an Innocent,Sometimes do bitter grow,
Their bitternes procures content,
If clear himself he know.
And when a vertuous man hath err'd;
If prais'd himself, he hear,
It makes him grieve, and more affeard,
Then if he slandred were.
5
Lord, therefore, make my Heart upright,What e're my Deeds do seem;
And, righteous rather, in thy sight;
Then in the World's esteem:
And, if ought good appear to be
In any Act of mine;
Let thankfulnes be found in me,
And, all the praise be thine.
