PSAL. LXXXIX.
Gods mercies I wil ever sing,
and with my mouth I shal
Thy faithfulnesse make to be known
to generations all.
For mercy shal be built, said I,
for ever to endure:
Thy faithfulnesse ev'n in the heav'ns
thou wilt establish sure
and with my mouth I shal
Thy faithfulnesse make to be known
to generations all.
For mercy shal be built, said I,

Thy faithfulnesse ev'n in the heav'ns
thou wilt establish sure
I with my chosen One have made
a covenant graciously;
And to my servant whom I lov'd,
to David sworn have I:
That I thy seed establish shal
for ever to remain;
And wil to generations all
thy Throne build and maintain.

And to my servant whom I lov'd,
to David sworn have I:
That I thy seed establish shal
for ever to remain;
And wil to generations all
thy Throne build and maintain.
The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
the heavens shal expresse;
And in the congregation
of saints, thy faithfulnesse.
For who in heaven with the Lord
may once himself compare?
Who is like God among the sons
of these that mighty are?
the heavens shal expresse;
And in the congregation
of saints, thy faithfulnesse.
For who in heaven with the Lord

Who is like God among the sons
of these that mighty are?
Great fear in meetings of the saints
is due unto the Lord;
And he, of all about him, should
with reverence be ador'd.
O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
what Lord in mightinesse
Is like to thee? who compast round
art with thy faithfulnesse.

O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
what Lord in mightinesse
Is like to thee? who compast round

Ev'n in the raging of the sea
thou over it dost raign;
And when the waves thereof do swel,
thou stillest them again
Rahab in pieces thou didst break,
like one that slaughtered is;
And with thy mighty arm thou hast
disperst thine enemies.

Rahab in pieces thou didst break,

And with thy mighty arm thou hast
disperst thine enemies.
The heav'ns are thine, thou for thine own
the earth dost also take:
The world, and fulnesse of the same,
thy power did found and make.
The north & south from thee alone
their first beginning had:
Both Tabor mount, and Hermon hil
shal in thy Name be glad.

They in thy name shal all the day
rejoyce exceedingly,
And in thy righteousnesse shal they
exalted be on hy.

In vision to thy holy-one
thou saidst, I help upon
A strong one laid; out of the folk
I rais'd a chosen one.
Ev'n David, I have found him out
a servant unto Me;
And with my holy oyl My King
anointed him to be.

A strong one laid; out of the folk
Ev'n David, I have found him out
a servant unto Me;
And with my holy oyl My King

With whom My hand shal establisht be
Mine arm shal make him strong.
On him the foe shal not exact,
nor son of mischief wrong,
I wil beat down before his face
all his malicious foes:
I wil them greatly plague, who do
with hatred him oppose
Mine arm shal make him strong.

I'le set it in the sea;
And his right hand established

Thou art my father, he shal cry,
thou art my God alone;
And he shal say, Thou art the rock
of my salvation.
I'le make him my first-born, more high
then Kings of any land:
My love I'le ever keep for him,
My cov'nant fast shal stand.

My love I'le ever keep for him,

His seed I by my power wil make
for ever to endure;
And, as the dayes of heaven, his throne
shal stable be and sure.
But if his children shal forsake
My Lawes, and go astray,
And in my judgements shal not walk
but wander from my way.

But if his children shal forsake
My Lawes, and go astray,
And in my judgements shal not walk

If they my Lawes break, & do not
keep my Commandements,
I'le visit then their faults with rods
their sins with chastisements,
Yet I'le not take my love from him
nor false my promise make;
My cov'nant I'le not break nor chang
what with my mouth I spake.

Yet I'le not take my love from him

My cov'nant I'le not break nor chang

Once by my holinesse I sware,
to David I'le not ly.
His seed and throne shal as the sun
before me last for ay.
It like the moon shal ever be
establisht stedfastly;
And like to that which in the heav'n
doth witnesse faithfully.

It like the moon shal ever be
establisht stedfastly;
And like to that which in the heav'n

But thou displeased, hast cast off,
thou didst abhore and loath;
With him that thine anointed is
thou hast been very wroth.
Thou hast thy servants covenant
made void and quite cast by;
Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it
cast on the ground doth ly.
thou didst abhore and loath;
With him that thine anointed is
thou hast been very wroth.
Thou hast thy servants covenant
made void and quite cast by;
Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it
cast on the ground doth ly.
Thō al his hedges hast broke down
his strong holds down hast torn.
He to all passers by a spoil,
to neighbours is a scorn.
Thou hast set up his foes right hand
mad'st all his enemies glad;
Turn'd his swords edge, & him to stand
in battel hast not made.
his strong holds down hast torn.
He to all passers by a spoil,
to neighbours is a scorn.
Thou hast set up his foes right hand
mad'st all his enemies glad;
Turn'd his swords edge, & him to stand
in battel hast not made.
His glory thou hast made to cease,
his throne to ground down cast;
Shortned his dayes of youth, & him
with shame thou covered hast.
How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thy self
for ever in thine ire?
And shal thine indignation
burn like unto a fire?
his throne to ground down cast;
Shortned his dayes of youth, & him
with shame thou covered hast.
How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thy self
for ever in thine ire?
And shal thine indignation
burn like unto a fire?
Remember, Lord, how short a time
I shal on earth remain;
O wherefore is it so, that thou
hast made all men in vain?
What man is he that liveth here,
and death shal never see?
Or from the power of the grave
what man his soul shal free?
I shal on earth remain;
O wherefore is it so, that thou
hast made all men in vain?
What man is he that liveth here,
and death shal never see?
Or from the power of the grave
what man his soul shal free?
Thy former loving kindnesses,
O Lord, where be they now?
Those which in truth & faithfulnesse
to David sworn hast thou.
Minde, Lord, thy servants sad reproach
how I in bosome bear
The scornings of the people all
who strong and mighty are.
O Lord, where be they now?
Those which in truth & faithfulnesse
to David sworn hast thou.
Minde, Lord, thy servants sad reproach
how I in bosome bear
The scornings of the people all
who strong and mighty are.
