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.

4 The Strength of GOD, and the Face of GOD, are Names of the Messiab.
6 Some Jewish Commentaries invite us to Read, not, Ye Seed of Abraham, &c. But, The Seed.— [i. e. The Messiah,] of whom it follows, He is the Lord our GOD. So Malac. II. 15. Hebr. The Seed, who is GOD. The Old Rabbi's understood the Messiah there.
8 Arnobius finds the Thousand Generations, in so many distinct Nations and Languages anon found among the Sons of Noah. But, the Grand Article in the Covenant of GOD, is, The Lord JEHOV AH will be a God unto His People. [Jer. XXXII. 38.] Herein 'tis implied, That the Lord JEHOVAH will in His Messiah give Himself to be sensibly enjoyed by His People. [Lev. XXVI. 12.] Hence the Covenant will not be fulfilled, in the full sense of it, until the Messiah come to Sit on the Throne of His Glory among His People. [Psal. LXXXIX. 34.] Nor indeed, until the Resurrection from the Dead. [Math. XXII. 31, 32.] Consider also, Heb. XI. 16. with Rev XXI. 13. Lastly, There is a Generation or Period of Time, wherein this Covenant of GOD will be remembered, and performed. And here, we have a special Character or that Period. The World where we sojourn will not endure a Thousand Generations.
