PSALME 76. (Book 76)

A Prayer that we may feare Gods Iudgements, and be freed from the terrors of men.

IN Iury is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2 At Salem is his tabernacle: and his dwel∣ling in Sion.

3 There brake ••e the arrows of the bow: the shield, the sword, and the battell.

4 Thou art of more honour and might: then the hills of the robbers.

5 The proud are robbed, they haue slept their sleep: and all the men (whose hands were migh∣ty) haue found nothing.

6 At thy rebuke (O God of Iacob:) both the chariot and horse are fallen.

7 Thou even thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause thy iudgement to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still.

9 When God arose to iudgement: and to help all the meek upon earth.

10 The fiercenesse of man shall turn to thy praise: and the fiercenesse of them shalt thou refraine.

11 Promise unto the Lord your God, and

keep it, all ye that be round about him: bring pre∣sents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He shall refrain the spirit of Princes: and is wonderfull among the Kings of the earth.

The Prayer.

O Lord God, whose dwelling is in heaven, and thy Name is great in all the world, plant the dread and reverence of thee and thy power in our hearts: let thy threatnings and thy judgements, which are heard from heaven, and executed upon disobedient and gainsaying peo∣ple, make us to tremble at the remembrance of our sinnes, and in the consideration of our weake∣nesses and demerits: and let thy mercies and the remembrance of thy infinite loving kindnesses make our hearts still, full of evenesse & tranquil∣lity, that we may not feare the fiercenesse of man, or the wrath of those, whose Spirits thou canst refraine, least we be disturbed in our duties to∣wards thee, but let us so feare thee, that we may never offend against thee, but may passe from feare to love, from apprehensions of thy wrath, to the sense and comforts of thy mercies, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
