The Psalmes of David from the new translation of the Bible turned into meter to be sung after the old tunes used in the churches : unto which are newly added the Lord's prayer, the Creed, the Ten commandments, with some other ancient hymnes.

Second Part.

19.

The Lord from high His beams display'd; And, out of Heaven, earth survay'd;

20.

The Captives fetters to unty, And Pris'ners save condemn'd to dy.

21.

That so in Sions blessed hill, And Salem which His wonders fill,

22.

They may His name, and praise declare, When all the people gather'd are.

23.

He hath my strength to weaknes brought, My Short'ned dayes are come to nought:

24.

So that to God I thus did pray; O take me not as yet away: Nor cast me off from this lifes stage, In prime of youth, and mid'st of age. For though My dayes be few, and fraile, Thy yeares, O God, will never faile.

25.

Thou (Lord) hast earth's foundation lay'd, And by Thy hand the Heav'ns were made: They all shall perish, and decay, And in their time consume away. Like to a garment, when grow'n old, They shall nor use, nor motion hold.

But though the world, and they must fall, Thy Being is perpetuall.

27.

Yea as a vesture worne, and chang'd, Is from it's gloss and forme estrang'd: So Shalt Thou change this massy frame; Yet still Thy selfe abide the same.

28.

And like Thy selfe from changes freed, Thou wilt prolong Thy servants seed; Whose children shall remaine with Thee, And in Thy sight establisht be.
