7, 8 Just vengeance to take To punish those lands

THE PSALMS.

With chains, as their captives. With fetters of iron

9 Thus shall they make good, The dreadful decree

Such honour and triumph O therefore for ever

2 Praise him for all the mighty acts His kindness this return exacts,

3 Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice Praise him with harp's melodious noise, 4 Let virgin troops soft timbrels bring, Let instruments of various strings,

5 Let them, who joyful hymns compose, Cymbals of common use, and those 6 Let all that vital breath enjoy, In just returns of praise employ:

PSALM CL.

O Praise the Lord in that blest place, from whence his goodness largely flows;

in perfect which he in our behalf hath done; with which our praise should equal run. make rocks and hills his praise rebound; and gentle psalt'ry's silver sound. and some with graceful motion dance; with organs join'd, his praise advance. to cymbals set their songs of praise; that loudly sound on solemn days. the breath he does to them afford, let ev'ry creature praise the Lord.

GLORIA PATRI.

To God the Father, Son,

As' twas, and is, and shall be so

END OF THE PSALMS.

To God the Father, Son, Eternal Three in One, As heretofore And shall be so

for injuries past;

for ruin design'd; to tie their kings fast, their nobles to bind.

By angels in heav'n

And saints upon earth,

To God in Three Persons, As it has been, now is,

when them they destroy, which God does proclaim: his saints shall enjoy; exalt his great Name.
