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.

3 Th' ETERNAL God, hath done for us ‖ great things; whereof we're Glad. ‖
4 O Thou ETERNAL God, Return ‖ what must return of us; ‖ It will exhilirate us like ‖ Streams running in the South. ‖
5 They who do Sow in Tears, shall reap ‖ with an exulting Joy. ‖
6 Each one of those in going forth ‖ does mostly weeping go: ‖ He carries forth the Precious Seed, ‖ a little, to be sown; ‖ he surely does return with Joy; ‖ he does bring back his Sheaves. ‖
