Psalterium Americanum. The Book of Psalms, in a translation exactly conformed unto the original; but all in blank verse. : Fitted unto the tunes commonly used in our churches. Which pure offering is accompanied with illustrations, digging for hidden treasures in it; and rules to employ it upon the glorious and various intentions of it. : Whereunto are added, some other portions of the sacred Scripture, to enrich the cantional.

PSALM LX. To the Chief Musician. Upon Shushan Eduth. Mictam. Of David; To teach. When he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aram-Zobah; When Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, Twelve Thousand.
1 O God, Thou hast rejected us; ‖ Thou hast dispersed us; ‖ Thou hast been angry; O do thou ‖ return to us again. ‖
2 To tremble thou hast made the Earth; ‖ Thou hast divided it; ‖ The breaches of it, O do thou ‖ heal them, because it shakes. ‖
3 Thy People thou didst cause to see ‖ a very grievous thing; ‖ Thou hast made us to drink the Wine, ‖ which doth astonish us. ‖
4 A Banner thou hast given now ‖ to them that have thy fear, ‖ that it may be displayed on high ‖ in the good cause of truth. ‖ Selah. ‖
