The Whole book of Psalms as they are now sung in the churches, with the singing notes of the time and tune set to every syllable, made plain and easie to the understandings of all that can read by the directions in the latter part of the preface, never before done in England.

The fourth Part.

[verse 31] If that his sons forsake my Law, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and so begin to swerve: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And of my judgments have no awe, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 nor will not them observe: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 32] Or if they will not use aright 〈♫〉〈♫〉 my statutes to them made, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And set all my commandments light, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and will not keep my trade. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 31] Then with the Rod will I begin, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 their doings to amend: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And so will scourge them for their sin, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 if that they do offend. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 34] My mercy yet and my goodness, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I will not take him fro: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Nor handle him with craftiness, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and so my truth forgoe. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 35] But sure my cov'nant I will hold 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with all that I have spoke: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 No word the which my lips have told: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 shall alter or be broke. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 36] Once sware I by my holiness, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and that perform will I: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 With David I will keep promise, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 to him I will not lie. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 37] His seed for evermore shall reign, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and eke his throne of might: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 As doth the Sun, it shall remain 〈♫〉〈♫〉 ••or ever in my sight. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 38] And as the Moon within the sky 〈♫〉〈♫〉 for ever standeth fast: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 A faithful witness from on high, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 so shall his Kingdom last. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 39] But now, O Lord, thou dost reject, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and now thou changest chear: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Yea, thou art wrath with thine elect, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thine own anointed dear. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 40] The cov'nant with thy servant made, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Lord thou hast quite undone: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And down upon the ground also 〈♫〉〈♫〉 hast cast his royal crown. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
