Meditations for Sunday Morning.

LEt God arise, and let his Enemies be scattered; let them also that hate him, flee before him.

Like as the smoak vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them a∣way; and like as wax melteth at the Fire, so let the ungod∣ly perish at the presence of God.

But let the Righteous be glad and rejoyce before God; let them also be merry and joyfull.

II.

O Sing unto God, and sing Praises unto his Name; mag∣nifie him that rideth upon the Heavens as it were upon an Horse; praise him in his Name, yea, and rejoyce be∣fore him.

He is a Father of the Fa∣therless,

Page 6

and defendeth the Cause of the Widows; even God in his holy Habitation.

He is the God that maketh Men to be of one Mind in an House, and bringeth the Pri∣soners out of Captivity, but letteth the Runnagates conti∣nue in scarceness.

III.

O God, when thou wentest forth before the People, when thou wentest through the Wilderness:

The Earth shook, and the Heavens dropped at the pre∣sence of God, even as Sina also was moved at the pre∣sence of God, which is the God of Israel.

Thou, O God, sentest a gracious Rain upon thine in heritance, and refreshed'st i when it was weary.

Thy Congregation shall dwell therein; for thou, O God, hast of thy Goodness

Page 7

prepared for the Poor.

IV.

The Lord gave the Word: Great was the Company of the Preachers.

Kings with their Armies did flee, and were discomfit∣ed, and they of the House∣hold divided the spoil.

Though ye have lin among the Pots, yet shall ye be as the Wings of a Dove, that is co∣vered with silver Wings, and her Feathers like Gold.

V.

When the Almighty scatte∣red Kings for their sake, then were they as white as snow in Salmon.

As the Hill of Basan, so is God's Hill; even an high Hill, as the Hill of Basan.

Why hop ye so, ye high Hills? this is God's Hill, in which it pleaseth him to dwell; yea, the Lord will a∣bide in it for ever.

VI.

The Chariots of God are Twenty thousand, even thou∣sands of Angels, and the Lord is among them, as in the holy Place of Sini.

Thou art gone up on high, hou hast led Captivity Cap∣tive, and received Gifts for Men; yea, even for thine E∣nemies, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

VII.

Praised be the Lord daily, even the God which helpeth us, and poureth his benefits upon us.

He is our God, even the God of whom cometh alva∣tion: God is the Lord by whom we escape Death.

God shall wound the head of his Enemies, and the hairy Scalp of such a one as goeth on sill in his wickedness.

VIII.

The Lord hath said, I will

Page 9

bring my people again, as I did from Basan: Mine own will I bring again, as I did some∣time from the deep of the Sea.

That thy foot may be dip∣ped in the bloud of thine E∣nemies; and that the Tongue of thy Dogs may be red through the same.

IX.

It is well seen, O God, how thou goest; how thou, my God, and my King, goest in the Sanctuary.

The Singers go before, the Minstrels follow after; in the midst are the Damsels playing with the Timbrels.

Give Thanks, O Israel, un∣to God the Lord in the Con∣gregations, from the ground of the Heart.

There is little Benjamin their Ruler, and the Princes of Ju∣da, their Counsel; the Prin∣ces of Zabuln, and the Princes of Napthali.

X.

Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee: Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us.

For thy Temples sake at Jerusalem; so shall Kings bring Presents unto thee.

When the Company of the Spear-men and multitude of the Mighty are scattered a∣broad among the Beasts of the People, (so that they humbly bring pieces of Silver,) and when he hath scattered the People that delight in War.

Then shall the Princes come out of Egypt; the Morians Land shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
