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.

YE righteous in the Lord rejoyce, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 it is a seemly sight, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 That upright men with thankful voice, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 should praise the Lord of might. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 2] Praise ye the Lord with harp and song, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in Psalms and pleasant things: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 With Lute and instrument among, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that soundeth with ten strings. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 3] Sing to the Lord a song most new, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with courage give him praise: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 4] For why? his word is ever [true, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 his works and all his ways. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 5] To judgment, equity, and right, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 he hath a great good will: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And with his gifts he doth delight 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the earth throughout to fill. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 6] For by the word of God alone 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the heavens all were wrought: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Their hoasts and pow'rs every one, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 his breath to pass hath brought. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 7] The waters great gather'd hath he 〈♫〉〈♫〉 on heaps within the shore: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And hid them in the depths to be, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 as in a house of store. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 8] All men on earth both small and great, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 fear God and keep his Law: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Ye that inhabit in each coast, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 dread him, and stand in awe. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 9] What he commanded, wrought it was 〈♫〉〈♫〉 at once with present speed: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 What he doth will, is brought to pass, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with full effect indeed. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 10] The counsels of the Nations rude, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 the Lord doth bring to nought: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 He doth defeat the multitude, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 of their device and thought. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 11] But his decrees continue still, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 they never slack nor swage: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 The mo∣tions of his mind and will 〈♫〉〈♫〉 take place in every age.
