his saving health Protects me from assaulting foes His hand sustains me still my wealth And greatness from his bounty flows 36. My goings he enlarg'd abroad Before to narrow paths confin'd And when in slipp'ry ways I trod The method of my steps design'd 37. Through him I num'rous Foes defeat And in their hasty flight o'ertake Nor from my fierce pursuit retreat Till a full end of all I make 38. Cover'd with wounds in vain they try Their vanquish'd heads again to rear Grov'ling beneath my feet they lie From whence to rise they must despair 39. God when fierce Armies take the field Recruits my strength and courage warms He makes my strong opposers yield Subdu'd by my prevailing Arms. 40. Through him the necks of prostrate Foes My conqu'ring feet in triumph press Aided by him I root out those Who hate and envy my success 41. With loud complaints all friends they try'd But none was able to defend At length to God for succour cry'd But God wou'd no assistance lend 42. Like flying dust which winds pursue Their broken troops were scatter'd round Contemptible and vile they grew As loathsom dirt that clogs the ground PART VI. 43. Our factious Tribes at strife till now At Gods appointment me obey The Heathen to my Scepter bow And Foreign Nations own my sway 44. Remotest Realms their homage send When my successful name they hear Strangers for my commands attend Charm'd with respect or aw'd by fear 45. All to my summons tamely yield Or soon in battle are dismay'd For stronger Holds they quit the field And still in strongest Holds afraid 46. Let the Eternal Lord be prais'd The Rock on whose defence I rest O'er highest Heav'ns his Name be rais'd Who me with his Salvation bless'd 47. 'T is God that still supports my right His just Rovenge my foes pursues 'T is he that with resistless Might Fierce Nations to my yoke subdues 48. My universal safeguard He From whom my lasting honours slow He made me great and set me free From my remorseless bloody Foe 49. Therefore to celebrate his fame My grateful voice to Heav'n I 'll raise And Nations strangers to his Name Shall thus be taught to sing his Praise 50. God to his King deliv'rance sends Shews his Anointed signal Grace His mercy evermore extends To David and his promis'd Race PSALM XIX 1. THE Heav'ns declare thy Glory Lord Which that alone can fill The Firmament and Stars express Their great Creators skill 2. Revolving days with ev'ry dawn Fresh beams of knowledge bring From darkest nights successive rounds Divine Instructions spring 3. Their pow'rful Language to no Realm Or Region is confin'd 'T is Natures voice and understood Alike by all Mankind 4. Their Doctrines sacred Sense itself Through Earths extent displays Whose bright contents the circling Sun Around the World conveys 5. No Bride-groom for his Nuptials drest Has such a chearful face No Giant does like him rejoyce To run his glorious race 6. From East to West from West to East His restless circuit goes And through his progress chearful light And vital warmth bestows PART II. 7. Gods perfect Law converts the Soul Reclaims from false desires With sacred Wisdom his firm Word The ignorant inspires 8. The Statutes of the Lord are Just And bring fincere delight His pure commands in search of Truth Assist the feeblest sight 9. His fear is clean his worship fix'd For ever to abide His equal Judgments in the scale Of Truth and Justice try'd 10. Of more esteem than golden Mines Or Gold refin'd with skill More sweet than honey or the drops That from the comb distill 11. My trusty Counsellors they are And friendly warnings give Divine Rewards attend on those Who by thy Precepts live 12. But what frail man observes how oft He does thy Laws transgress Do thou who only know'st them all My secret faults redress 13. Let no presumptuous Sin O Lord Dominion have o'er me Preserve me guiltless or at least From great offences free 14. So shall my pray'r and praises be With thy acceptance blest And I secure on thy defence My strength and Saviour rest PSALM XX. 1. THE Lord to thy request attend And hear thee in distress The Name of Jacob's God defend And grant thy Arms success 2. To aid thee from on high repair And strength from Sion give Remember all thy offerings there Thy sacrifice receive 3. To compass thy own heart's desire Thy counsels still direct Make kindly all events conspire To bring them to effect 4. To thy Salvation Lord for aid We 'll chearfully repair With banners in thy Name display'd The Lord accept thy pray'r 5. Our hopes are now confirm'd the Lord Will by our Sov'reign stand From Heav'n the saving strength afford Of his resistless Hand 6. Some trust in Steeds for war design'd On Chariots some rely Against them All we 'll call to mind The Name of God most high 7. But from their Steeds and Chariots thrown Behold them through the plain Disorder'd broke and trampled down Whilst firm our Troops remain 8. Still save us Lord and still proceed Our rightful cause to bless Hear King of Heav'n in times of need The pray'rs that we address FINIS
