The Psalms of David in meeter with the prose interlined / by Mr. Zachary Boyd ...

PSAL. LXXXI.

SIng aloud unto God our strength: make a joyfull noise unto the God of Iacob.

2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the tim∣brell: the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

TO Jacobs God make joyfull noise, to God our strength loud sing: 2 Take psalme with psaltry, pleasant harp and timbrell hither bring.

3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon: in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

3 Do ye blow up in the new moon, the trumpet for to play, Ev'n in the time appointed thus on our feast solemn day.

4 For this was a statute for Israel: and a law of the God of Iacob.

4 For this for Israel was made a statute to endure; Of him that God of Jacob is it was a law most sure.

5 This he ordained in Ioseph for a testimo∣ny, when he went out thorow the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I understood not.

5 This law in Joseph he ordain'd, when he through Egypt land 〈◊〉〈◊〉 out, where I a language heard I did not understand.

6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands wore delivered▪ from the pots.

6 His shoulder from the burden great I then removed far: And also from the pots by me his hands deliv'red were.

7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee, I answered thee in the secret place of thun∣der▪ I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

7 Thou call'dst in trouble, I thee sav'd, in secret place of thunder I answer'd thee: I prov'd thee at of Meribah the water. Selah.

8 Hear, O my people, and I will testifie un∣to thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me▪

8 O thou my people, do thou hear, I'le testifie to thee▪ O Israel, if that thou wilt now hearken unto me.

9 There shall no strange God be in thee, nei∣ther shalt thou worship any strange god.

9 There shall not any god at all that strange is in thee be▪ Nor shall there any god that's strange be worshipped by thee.

10 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

10 I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of Egypt land: Thy mouth wide open thou, and I will fill it with my hand.

11 But my people would not hearken unto my voice: and Israel would none of me.

11 But yet my people to my voice would not obedient be; And they that are of Israel would then have none of me.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

12 Unto the lust of their own heart I did them give up so, And after that in counsells they that were their own did go.

13 O that my people had hearkened unto me: and Israel had walked in my wayes▪

13 O that my people unto me had hearkned in their dayes, And that the men of Israel had walked in my wayes.

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries

14 I should have soon their enemies▪ subdu'd that them withstand, And against their adversaries I should have turnd my hand.

15 The haters of the Lord should have sub∣mitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

15 Who hate the Lord, should have them∣selves submitted him before:

But as for them, their time should have endur'd for evermore.

16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with hony out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

16 Them with the finest of the wheat fed also should have he; With honey from the rock I should have satisfied thee.
