O're the works of thy hand thou mad'st him Lord,
Thou hast put all under his lordly feet,
All Flocks, and Herds, by thy commanding word,
All beasts that in the field or forrest meet.
Fowl of the Heavens, and Fish that through the wet
Sea-paths in shoals do slide. And know no dearth.
O Jehovah our Lord how wondrous great
And glorious is thy name through all the earth.
April, 1648 J. M.

Psalm LXXX.
1 Thou Shepherd that dost Israel [keep]
Give ear [in time of need,]
Who leadest like a flock of sheep
[Thy loved] Josephs seed,
That sitt'st between the Cherubs [bright]
[Between their wings out-spread]
Shine forth, [and from thy cloud give light,]
[And on our foes thy dread.]
2 In Ephraims view and Benjamins,
And in Manasse's sight
Awake thy strength, come, and [be seen]
[To] save us [by thy might.
