In peace at once will I

Both lay me down and fleep,

For thou alone doft keep

Me fafe where'er I lie;

As in a rocky cell

Thou Lord alone in fafety mak'ft me dwell.

PSA L. V. Aug. 12. 1653.

Ehovah to my words give ear,

JE

My meditation weigh,

The voice of my complaining hear

My King and God; for unto thee I pray.

Jehovah thou my early voice

Shalt in the morning hear,

I'th' morning I to thee with choice

Will rank my pray'rs, and watch till thou appear.

For thou art not a God that takes

In wickedness delight,

Evil with thee no biding makes,

Fools or mad men stand not within thy fight.

All workers of iniquity

Thou hat'ft; and them unbleft

Thou wilt destroy that speak a ly;

The bloody' and guileful man God doth deteft.

But

But I will in thy mercies dear

Thy numerous mercies go

Into thy houfe; I in thy fear

Will tow'rds thy holy temple worship low.

Lord lead me in thy righteousness,

Lead me because of those

That do observe if I tranfgrefs,

Set thy ways right before, where my step goes.

For in his faltring mouth unstable

No word is firm or footh;

Their infide, troubles miferable;

An open grave their throat, their tongue they smooth.

God, find them guilty, let them fall

By their own counfels quell'd;

Push them in their rebellions all

Still on; for against thee they have rebell'd.
Then all who truft in thee fhall bring

Their joy, while thou from blame

30

Defend'st them, they fhall ever fing

35

And shall triumph in thee, who love thy name.

For thou Jehovah wilt be found

To blefs the juft man ftill,

As with a fhield thou wilt furround

Him with thy lasting favor and good will.

PSAL. VI. Aug. 13. 1653.

ORD in thine anger do not reprehend me,
Nor in thy hot displeasure me correct;

Pity me, Lord, for I am much deject, nd very weak and faint; heal and amend me: or all my bones, that ev'n with anguish ake, Are troubled, yea my foul is troubled fore, And thou, O Lord, how long? turn Lord, restore My foul, O fave me for thy goodness fake: For in death no remembrance is of thee; Who in the grave can celebrate thy praise? Wearied I am with fighing out my days, Nightly my couch I make a kind of fea; My bed I water with my tears; mine eye Through grief confumes, is waxen old and dark I'th' midft of all mine enemies that mark.

Depart all ye that work iniquity,

Depart from me, for the voice of my weeping

My fupplication with acceptance fair

The Lord will own, and have me in his keeping. 20

With much confufion; then grown red with shame,
They shall return in hafte the way they came,
And in a moment shall be quite abash'day I)
