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

7 On the ETERNAL God be thou ‖ a silent waiter still; ‖ and with unceasing patience wait ‖ expecting Him to work. ‖ Fret not thy self because of him ‖ who prospers in his way; ‖ or because of the Man who brings ‖ wicked designs to pass. ‖
8 Desist from anger, and dismiss ‖ fierce indignation: ‖ Do not wax hot; but still be sure ‖ to do no evil thing. ‖
9 For evil-doers, they shall be ‖ cut off; but they that wait ‖ on the ETERNAL God, they shall ‖ as heirs enjoy the Earth. ‖
10 For yet a little while, and then ‖ the wicked shall not be; ‖ yea, thou shalt closely view his place, ‖ and he shall not be there. ‖
