Psal. 9. Confitebor tibi.
Ad Præstantem, super Muth-Labben. Psal. David.
1
To render thankes to thee, O Lord,my heart is wholly bent;
Of all thy marvells to record,
12
2
I will be glad, I will rejoycein thee with melodie:
And to thy Name sing Numbers choice,
O thou that art Most-Hie.
3
When backward fled, mine enemieswere hard pursu'd in chace;
They stumbled, never more to rise,
but perish from thy face.
4
For thou my judgements doome hast done,or else my right had fail'd:
Thou satest Judge upon the Throne,
where Justice hath prevail'd.
5
The Heathen routs hast thou reprov'd,the wicked one destroi'd;
From men among, their name remov'd,
for evermore made void.
6
My foe, see desolations done,the Cities raz'd to ground:
With them is their memoriall gone,
and in their dust lies drown'd.
7
But Soveraigne on his Throne declar'dthe Lord shall ever sit;
Which for himselfe he hath prepar'd,
and made for judgement fit.
8
And he with justice will proceedto judge the world so wide;
And of his peoples every deed
with righteous doome decide.
9
The Lord to him that is opprestwill be a refuge high:
A refuge high, the poore distrest
when times of trouble trie.
10
And they that know thy Name, alone13
For thou art, Lord, forsaking none
of them that seeke thee, found.
11
Sing to the Lord on Sion Mount,whose pleasure is to dwell:
With praise his deeds of high account
among the peoples tell.
12
For when the Quest of his Assisefor blouds inquirie makes:
Unmindfull he the meeke that cries
forgets not, nor forsakes.
13
My suffrings, Lord, in mercie see,through mine oppressors hates;
Of death, O thou the onely He,
that lifts me from the gates.
14
That all thy praises I may spreadin Sions daughters ports;
And in thy saving health be glad,
in all my songs reports.
15
The Heath'n are sunke downe in the pit,which they themselves prepar'd:
That secret net which they did fit,
their foot hath fast ensnar'd.
16
His judgement done, the Lord is knowneto execute aright:
Caught in the handy-workes his owne,
mark well the wicked wight.
17
The wicked shall returne to Hell,where their abode is set:
Where Heath'ns, & Heav'ns-contemners dwell,
and all that God forget.
18
For alwaies shall not be forgotthe grievance of the poore;
Of needy soules the hopes shall not
14
19
Rise, Lord, let none of mortall raceprevaile against thy hand;
But let the Heath'ns before thy face,
to heare their judgement stand.
