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.

SING with such Thoughts, and so carry on the Wars of the Lord. Thy Successes will be, Wonderful! Wonderful!
§. 9. THERE is a wonderful Thing to be observed concerning our PSALMS, which has hitherto been too much overlooked by all the Uninspired Interpreters; But it is a Thing which our SAVIOUR, and His Apostles who have quoted the PSALMS near Fifty Times, have led us into the Apprehension of. This is, That they are full of Prophecies, and our Psalter is indeed the most Prophetical Book in the World.
IT is more particularly, but not without holy Astonishments—to be observed, That the Design of the PROPHETIC SPIRIT, in the PSALMS, all along has been to describe the Sufferings of the Jewish Nation, as well ⟨p. xxix⟩as of the Christian Surrogate, under the Tyranny of Antichrist; and foretell the Characters and Confusions of that Wicked One, and of his Followers; and predict the Recovery of the Jewish Nation from their long Dispersion, and a long Felicity for them, and the Converted Gentiles associated with them, under the succeeding Reign of the MESSIAH; and that Happy state of the New Earth, in which, under the Influences of the New Heavens, there shall dwell Righteousness; and the Tabernacle of GOD shall be with Men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His People, and GOD Himself shall be with them, and be their GOD.
