17 Entreats defense against his foes, 18 Sings praise for mercies great; 19 Christ like the sun his course shall run, 20 On God the pious wait. 21 For victories he gives God thanks, 22 Christ's sufferings foretels; 23 His sheep are we: our shepherd he, 24 Christ in his temple dwells. 25 God's grace and mercy David asks, 26 Calls God to judge his case; 27 His faith sustains and courage gains, 28 Prays for his foes' disgrace. 29 He magnifies God's thund'ring voice, 30 His dedication song; 31 Trusts in God's name, prays against shame, 32 To whom doth bliss belong. 33 In God's pow'r, goodness, truth, he boasts, 34 As mad from Achish sent; 35 To God he cries 'gainst enemies, 36 Doth wicked times lament. 37 Known faints and sinners he compares, 38 Of miseries complains; 39 Shews life of man short as a span, 40 Foretels our Saviour's pains. 41 Long life the merciful shall have, 42 For God the Psalmist pants; 43 God's house he fain would see again, 44 The church makes sore complaints. 45 Melodious song of Christ and spouse, 46 The saints on God rely; 47 All nations sing to God their king, 48 The churches majesty. 49 No trust in wealth is to be put, 50 Christ shall as judge appear; Now the first set of alphabet, May fitly break off here. The Second Alphabet 51 At Nathan's word David repents, 52 Read Doeg's destiny, 53 Proves athiests fools: God sees and rules; 54 At Ziph betray'd is he. 55 Because of foes prays thrice a day, 56 At Gath in God doth trust; 57 His help doth crave 'gainst Saul in cave, 58 Dooms Judges when unjust. 59 Close, Saul to kill him, watch'd his house, 60 Edom by Joab slain; 61 David to Christ his high rock flies, 62 On that rock trusts again. 63 Dry deserts make him thirst for God, 64 Who did him safely hide; 65 Praise him who hears his people's pray'rs, 66 The saints by him are try'd. 67 Extol God nations, let the ark 68 'Midst gen'ral joy proceed; 69 Christ crucify'd is typify'd, 70 His speedy help in need. 71 From youth to old age God sustains, 72 A psalm for Solomon; 73 Fool's prosp'rous state provokes his hate, 74 He doth the church bemoan. 75 God putteth down and raiseth up, 76 In Judah known is he; 77 Asaph's relief 'gainst unbelief, 78 Israel's strange history. 79 He for Jerusalem laments, 80 The church's doleful state; 81 In solemn feasts what rites were best, 82 With judges doth debate. 83 Israel's confed'rate foes describes, 84 Longs for God's courts alone; 85 Truth, Mercy meets: Peace, Justice greets, 86 Like God's Works there are none. 87 Known is no place, like Zion's gates, 88 Good Haman's deep dismay: 89 God's cov'nant shown with Christ the Son, 90 Moses shews Man's decay.
