PSAL. CVI.

[1]

Give praise & thanks unto the Lord

for bountiful is he:
His tender mercy doth endure
unto eternitie.

2

Gods mighty works who can express

or shew forth all his praise?

3

Blessed are they that judgement keep

and justly do alwayes.

4

Remember me, Lord, with that love,

which thou to thine dost bear:
With thy salvation, O my God,
to visit me, draw near:

5

That I thy chosens good may see,

and in their joy rejoyce,
And may with thine inheritance
triumph with chearful voice.

6

We with our fathers sinned have,

and of iniquity
Too long we have the workers been,
we have done wickedly.

7

The wonders great which thō, O Lord

didst work in Egypt land,
Our fathers, though they saw, yet them
they did not understand:
And they thy mercies multitude
kept not in memory,
But at the sea, ev'n the Red-sea,
provok'd him grievously.

8

Neverthelesse he saved them,

ev'n for his own Names sake;
That so, he might to be wel known
his mighty power, make.

9

When he the Red-sea did rebuke,

then dryed up it was:
Through depths, as through the wilderness
he safely made them passe.

10

From hands, of those that hated them

he did his people save,
And from the enemies cruel hand
to them redemption gave.

11

The waters overwhelm'd their foes

not one was left alive:

12

Thē they believ'd his word, & praise

to him in songs did give.

13

But soon did they his mighty works

forget unthankfully,
And on his counsel and his wil
did not wait patiently.

14

But much did lust in wildernesse,

and God in desert tempt.

15

He gave them what they sought, but to

their soul he leannesse sent.

16

And against Moses, in the camp,

their envy did appear,
At Aaron they, the saint of God,
envious also were.

17

Therefore the earth did open wide

and Dathan did devour,
And all Abirams company
did cover in that hour.

18

Likewise among their company

a fire was kindled then,
And so the hote consuming flame
burnt up these wicked men.

19

Upon the hil of Horeb, they

an idol-calf did frame,
A molten image they did make,
and worshipped the same.

20

And thus their glory, & their God,

most vainly changed they
Into the likenesse of an ox
that eateth grasse or hay.

21

They did forget the mighty God,

that had their Saviour been,
By whō such great things brought to pass
they had in Egypt seen.

22

In Hams land he did wondrous works:

things terrible did he,
When he his mighty hand and arm
stretcht out at the Red-sea.

23

Then said he, he would them destroy

had not, his wrath to stay,
His chosen Moses stood in breach,
that them he should not slay.

24

Yea, they dispis'd the pleasant land

believed not his word;

25

But in their tents they murmured

not harkning to the Lord.


26

Therefore in desert, them to slay

he lifted up his hand:

27

'mong nations to o'rethrow their seed,

and scatter in each land.

28

They unto Baal-Peor did

themselves associat:
The sacrifices of the dead
they did profanely eat.

29

Thus, by their lewd inventions,

they did provoke his ire;
And then, upon them suddenly
the plague brake in, as fire.

30

Then Phineas rose, and justice did,

and so the plague did cease:

31

That to all ages counted was

to him for righteousnesse.

32

And at the waters, where they strove

they did him angry make,
In such sort, that it fared ill
with Moses for their sake.

33

Because they there his spirit meek

provoked bitterly,
So that he uttered with his lips
words unadvisedly.

34

Nor, as the Lord commanded them

did they the nations slay;

35

But with the heathen mingled were

and learn'd of them their way.

36

And they their idols serv'd, wch did

a snare unto them turn:

37

Their sons and daughters they to divels

in sacrifice did burn.

38

In their own childrens guiltlesse blood

their hands they did embrew,
Whom to Canaans idols they
for sacrifices slew.
So was the land defil'd with bloud;

39

They stain'd with their own way

And with their own inventions
a whoring they did stray.

40

Against his people kindled was

the wrath of God therefore,
Insomuch that he did his own
inheritance abhore.

41

He gave them to the heathens hand

their foes did them command:

42

Their enemies them opprest, they were

made subject to their hand.

43

He many times delivered them,

but with their counsel, so
They him provok'd, that for their sin
they were brought very low.

44

Yet their affliction he beheld,

when he did hear their cry:

45

And he for them his Covenant

did cal to memory:
After his mercies multitude

46

he did repent; And made

Them to be pity'd of all those
who them did captive lead.

47

O Lord, our God, us save, & gather

the heathen from among,
That we thy holy Name may praise
in a triumphant song.

48

Blest be Jehovah, Israels God,

to all eternity:
Let all the people say, Amen.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
