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.

6 Take a Paraphrase. God [According to His Promise, 2 Sam. III. 18.] hath put me in possession of all the Country about Samaria, which I will distribute under such Officers as I shall set over them. Gilead also and Manasseh. [who were lately under another King, 2 Sam. 2.9.] have submitted themselves unto me. And so has the Tribe of Ephraim; which is a main support of my Authority. These and all the reft of the Tribes of Israel, are now invited unto the Royal Tribe of Judah; which [according to Gen. XLIX. 10.] supplies me with Able Men, to order the Affairs of my Kingdom; which now shall extend itself beyond the Bounds of this Country. For I will tread Moab under my Feet, and reduce them to the vilest Servitude. I will trample also on the Edomites, and make them my Slaves. The Philistines also whom I have begun to smite, shall add unto my triumphs.
