A new version of the Psalms of David: together with all the church-hymns, into metre, smooth, plain and easie to the most ordinary capacities: and yet as close to the original languages, and the last and best English translation, as the nature of such a work will well permit. By Simon Ford, D.D. and rector of Old Swinford in Worcestershire.

Part III.

[verse 13] Thy ways within thy holy place, Where thou resid'st, O God, are known: What God is there, or ever was, For greatness, like the God we own? [verse 14] Thou art the God, whose mighty deeds Thy God heads evidences are: For that thy strength all Gods exceeds, In all mens view thou didst declare.

[verse 15] When thou thy people didst redeem, Thy mighty Arm thou didst extend;

Thy people sprung from Joseph's stem, With all from Jacob that descend. [verse 16] Thee, O my God, the waters saw, Thou to the waters didst appear: Thy frightfull presence did them awe, The depths themselves so troubled were.

[verse 17] The clouds with strugling vapours rent, Upon the earth discharg'd their load: The Skies did thund'ring noises vent, And scatter killing shafts abroad. [verse 18] Thy thund'ring voice from heav'n was heard, Thy light'nings lent rhe world its light, When day was thence by tempests scar'd: And th' earth did tremble at the fright.

[verse 19] Through the red Sea, thou mad'st a way, Where none before had ever gone. Through mighty waves thy passage lay, By no remaining foot steps known. [verse 20] As great Sheep-masters lead their sheep, By shepherds under their command: Thou led'st thy people through the deep, By Moses his, and Aaron's hand.
