Mirabilia opera dei certaine wonderfull works of God which hapned to H.N. even from his youth: and how the God of heaven hath united himself with him, and raised up his gracious word in him, and how he hath chosen and sent him to be a minister of his gracious word, / published by Tobias a fellow elder with H.N. in the houshold of love. Translated out of Base Almain.

Psalme I.

1 O My Lord my God,a my heart qua∣keth [ A] before thee, for though thy pu∣nishment

upon my sinnes, my bones do shake, and greatb sadnesse, pain and smart fall on me.

2 Thus I fear, O Lord, thy punish∣ment, for with the same tho•• makest known unto me my sinnes, and thou lettest me see the evil things which have ensnared me.

3 O God, wilt thou not deliver me from these evil things, so must I conti∣nue in misery, and must feare thy hand continually.

4 But thou O Lord art he, whichc woundest, and healest againe, help me as thou usest to doe.

5 Let my sighingsd out of the bot∣tome of my heart come before thee, and turne not thy mercy from me.

6 For, O Lord, I do note forget thee, but wait dayly for thy goodnesse.

[ B] 7 Lookf on my misery, and leave me not in death, nor let me be lost for e∣ver.

8g Take away (O Lord) the sinne from me, and let thy Spirit of life re∣fresh me, otherwayes (O Lord) O Lord of Lords, I have no life in me.

9 Therefore (O Lord, of life) when thou art my life, then I live, and my bones must rejoyce.

10 When I find mercy in thine eyes, then is comforted the inward mind of my soul.

11 But, O Lord, when thou arth a death to me and art angry with me, then am I like unto the dead, and goi down to hell as the wicked that are dam∣ned.

12 Out of whichk depth now my [ C] foul sigheth and calleth, O Lord, unto thee, for in the same I remember (with anguish of mind) my sinnes past, and must bewaile with tears my evil actions.

13 For thou, O Lord, art the strength andl Saviour of men from the sinne, he that taketh hold on thee,m falleth not into transgressions.

14 But the man which relyeth on h••s owne strength, he falls soonest, and then must he confess, that thou alone, O Lord, art the life of his Salvation.

15 When thou takest pity on him, and raisest him again, then he obtaineth mer∣cy, and must praise thy goodnesse conti∣nually.

16 For what is man? (O Lord) with∣out thy grace; is he any thing? ah no, he is nothing of himselfen

17 Therefore let thy mercyo shine a∣bout me, and doe not think on my trans∣gressions.

18 Therefore my ioy O God is in thee, and with thankfullnesse must I praise the grace of thy Love.

19 For thou comfortest the lowp mind∣ed and those which be forsaken, thon blot∣est out their sinnes, and takestq away the evil heart of their misdeedes.

[ D] 20 When thou O Lord, givest the bles∣sing, then is thy consolation present, and then with a joyous song of praise is thy holy name praised.

21 But in case thou dost hide thy selfe, then is the sinne active, and when thou doest rise up to punish, (O Lord) who can thenr stand before thee.

22 Is not a man like untos the blos∣some of the field which thy heat causeth to wither, and like untot dust and ashes which the wind doth ••catter here and there.

23 Therefore have thou mercy on me (O my God) and Father, and let thy good spirit support meu otherwayes I shall vanish into nothing.
