unto_o cyrus_n thou_o be_v my_o shepherd_n according_o cyrus_n take_v order_n for_o gather_v the_o scatter_a sheep_n of_o israel_n for_o raise_v they_o up_o from_o a_o kind_n of_o civil_a death_n

of_o the_o morning-light_n and_o this_o day_n of_o his_o be_v to_o be_v as_o the_o morning_n as_o the_o dayspring_n from_o on_o high_a to_o dispel_v the_o darkness_n by_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o

by_o that_o other_o great_a blessing_n from_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n the_o rain_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o as_o the_o rain_n so_o say_v the_o psalmist_n he_o shall_v come_v down_o like_o

it_o be_v easy_a from_o our_o own_o thought_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o parallel_n that_o he_o come_v like_o the_o former_a rain_n at_o his_o holy_a nativity_n and_o like_o the_o latter_a rain_n at_o
