The Psalms of David set forth in English meeter set forth by Francis Rous...

ATtend, my people, to my Law, incline your hearkning eare Unto the words which I shall speak, and ponder what you heare. [verse 2] My mouth shall speak a parable, and sayings dark of old. [verse 3] Which we have heard and known, and which our fathers have us told.

[verse 4] We will not hide them from their seed, yea those unborne that be, Gods praises, and almighty strength, and wonders, teach will we. [verse 5] To Jacob he a Testimony and Law to Israel gave, Which by our fathers to their •…•…eed he surely taught would have.

[verse 6] That so the race which was to come, might well them learn and know; That children yet unborne the same might to their children show. [verse 7]

That they might set their hope in God, and suffer not to fall His mighty works out of their mind, but keep his precepts all.

[verse 8] And might not, like their fathers old▪ be disobedient found; Whose heart not right, whose spirit with God not stedfast was, nor sound. [verse 9] The men of Ephraim being arm'd, and with them carrying bowes: B•…•…ck in the day of battell turn'd, and fled before their foes.
