1 ¿Qué podemos ofrendar?
¿Qué presente digno dar?
Dediquemos hoy a él bienes,
vida, alma fiel;
Para siempre es su bondad;
al Señor magnificad.

2 De la nada nos formó,
y la vida él nos dio;
Él nos cuida en su bondad,
y nos guía en la verdad;
Para siempre es su bondad;
al Señor magnificad.

The dates of his paraphrases are:— Ps. cxiv. and cxxxvi., 1623, when he was 15 years of ago. These were given in his Poems in English and Latin 1645. Ps. lxxx.-lxxxviii., written in 1648, and published as Nine Psalmes done into Metre, 1645. Ps. i., 1653; ii., “Done August 8, 1653;" iii., Aug. 9, 1653; iv.
