Psa. 33.

[_]

It exhorts to praise God; declares who are most obliged therevnto; In what manner we should performe this dutie,


60

& for what principall causes &c. We should often vse it to put vs in minde how much we are obliged to praise God, &c.

[1]

Ye Righteous, in the Lord reioice:
For, praise with Godly men doth sute:
Praise God with Psaltry, Harpe, & Voice,
And on the twice-five-stringed Lute,
To him, new ditties, sing & play;
And tune them to the loudest kay.

2

For, God is righteous in his word,
His Actions, ful of truth appear:
His Bounty, all the world hath storde:
His Darlings, Truth, & Iustice are.
The Heav'ns were form'd when he but spake;
His breath, did all their Armies make.

3

The seas huge waves, aloft he rear'd,
The Deeps, as vp in store, he layd:
Oh! let him through the world be fear'd,
And make Earths-dwellers all afraide.
For, his Commandings are fulfill'd;
And all is done as he hath will'd.

4

God, makes the Gentiles proiects vaine,
And, brings the Peoples plotts to nought:
But, his decrees, for aye remaine,
And, everlasting is his thought.
Most surely blest therefore are those,
Whome for his owne, the Lord hath chose.

5

For, God from heav'n doth cast his eye,
The Sonn's of men to veiwe & knowe:
Yea, from his dwelling-place on high,
He marketh all on earth belowe:
Their hearts, alike, he shapeth to,
And heeds, ev'n ev'ry work they do.

6

Great Armies cannot save a kinge,

61

No strong-mans powre his life preserves,
The strength of horse, vaine succours bringe;
But, those who fear him, God observes:
And, whosoe're on him depends,
From dearth, & death, he them defends.

7

Our soul vpon the Lord shall waite,
Who hath our sheild & shelter binn;
And, he shall be our harts delight;
Because, his Name, we trusted in.
Oh! let vs Lord, still succour'd be,
As we repose our trust in thee.
