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.
Boston: printed by S. Kneeland for B. Eliot, 1718

1 Tho' I do with Hilary, dislike the LXX foisting that Clause, A Psalm against Goli••, into the Title of the Psalm. […] suspect, the Psalmist now on the ⟨p. 394⟩Throne, may have some Remembrances of, and References to, his old Victory over Goliath; in this Verse particularly. Arnobius thinks, here is an Allusion to Moses lifting up his Hands for the Conquest of A•• lok; and adds, Docuit manus nostras, in pralio, non Armis sed p•ecibus pugnaturas. The holy Martyr Barlam, thrusting his hands into the burning Flames, Sang this Verse of the Psalm.
