The Psalmes of David, from the New Translation of the Bible Turned into Meter ::

Yee righteous in the Lord delight;
For praise becomes th' upright.
Let Harpe and Psaltery's consent,
The ten-string'd instrument,
New Songs record unto the voyce
With their melodious noise.
For just Gods promise is to you;
And all His workes are true.

He righteousnesse and judgment wills
All earth his goodnesse fills.

The Heav'ns bright host, and all beneath
He formed with His breath.
He doth the waters of the deep
Heap'd in His store-house keep.
Let men, and all which earth doth beare,
Of Him then stand in feare.

He spake, and at His free commands
The world unmoved stands.
Mens counsailes and devises wrought
The Lord will bring to nought.
Yet through all ages His decree,
And thoughts unchanged be.
Blest is the People He protects,
And for His Lot elects.

The Lord from Heav'n, His dwelling place,
Beheld all humane race;
Their hearts He fashion'd; whose each thought,
And worke to light is brought.
No King is sav'd by multitude;
Nor man with might endu'd.
As vaine for safety is the horse,
To reskue by his force.

Who feare, and on Gods love relye,
Are ever in his Eye;
Their Soule to reskue from the grave,
And life from famine save.

Our soule doth wait for God our sheild;
Glad hopes on Him we build.
Lord let Thy mercy on us be,
As we believe in Thee.
