No tender Signs to send We have no Prophet now that knows When this sad state shall end PART II. 10. But Lord how long wilt thou permit Th' insulting Foe to boast Shall all the Honour of thy Name For evermore be lost 11. Why hold'st thou back thy strong Right-hand And on thy patient Breast When Vengeance calls to stretch it forth So calmly let'st it rest 12. Thou heretofore with Kingly Pow'r In our Defence hast fought For us throughout the wond'ring World Hast great Salvation wrought 13. 'T was Thou O God that didst the Sea By thy own Strength divide Thou break'st the watry Monsters Head The Waves o'rwhelm'd their Pride 14. The greatest fiercest of them all That seem'd the Deep to sway Was by thy Pow'r destroy'd and made To salvage Beasts a Prey 15. Thou clav'â—t the solid Rock and bad'st The Waters largely flow Again Thou mad'st through dry'd up Streams Thy wond'ring People go 16. Thine is the chearful Day and thine The black Return of Night Thou hast prepar'd the glorious Sun And ev'ry feebler Light 17. By Thee the Borders of the Earth In perfect order stand The Summer's Warmth and Winter's Coâ—â— Attend on thy Command PART III. 18. Remember Lord how scornful Foes Have daily urg'd our Shame And how the foolish People have Blasphem'd thy holy Name 19. O free thy mourning Turtle-dove By sinful Crowds beset Nor the Assembly of the Poor For evermore forget 20. Thy ancient Cov'nant Lord regard And make thy promise good For now each Corner of the Land Is fill'd with Men of Blood 21. O let not the Opprest return With Sorrow cloath'd and Shame But let the Helpless and the Poor For ever praise thy Name 22. Arise O God in our behalf Thy Cause and ours maintain Remember how insulting Fools Each day thy Name prophane 23. Make Thou the Boastings of thy Foes For ever Lord to cease Whose haughty Rage and furious Threats Still more and more increase PSALM LXXV 1. TO Thee O God we render Praise To Thee with Thanks repair For that thy Name to us is nigh Thy wond'rous Works declare 2. In Israel when my Thronâ— is fix'd With me shall Justice reign 3. The Land with Discord shakes but I The tott'ring Frame sustain 4. Deluded Wretches I advis'd Their Errors to redress Presumptuous Sinners warn'd that they Their Swelling Pride suppress 5. Bear not your selves so high as if No Pow'r could yours restrain Submit your stubborn Necks and learn To speak with less Disdain 6. For that Promotion which to gain Your vain Ambition strives From neither East nor West nor yet From Southern Climes arrives 7. For God the great Disposer is And Sov'reign Judge alone Who casts the Proud to Earth and lifts The Humble to a Throne 8. His Hand holds forth a dreadful Cup With purple Wine 't is crown'd Fill'd with Ingredients which his Wrath Deals out to Nations round Of This his darling Saints may taste But Wicked Men shall squeeze The baleful Dregs and be condemn'd To dâ—ink the very Lees. 9. His Prophet I to all the World This Message will relate The Justice then of Iacob's Godâ— My Song shall celebrate 10. The Wicked's Pride I will reduce Their Cruelty disarm Exalt the Just and seat him high Above the Reach of Harm PSALM LXXVI 1. IN Iudah the Almighty's known Almighty there by Wonders shown His Name in Iacob does excel 2. His Sanctuary in Salem stands The Majesty that Heav'n commands In Sion condescends to dwell 3. He brake the Bow and Arrows there The Shield the temper'd Sword and Spear There slain the mighty Army lay 4. Whence Sion's Fame through Earth is spread Of greater Glory greater Dread Than Hills where Robbers lodge their Prey 5. Their valiant Chiefs who came for Spoil Themselves met there a shameful Foil Securely down to sleep they lay But wak'd no more their stoutest Baâ—d Ne'er lifted one resisting Hand 'gainst his that did their Legions slay 6. When Iacob's God began to frown Horse Horsemen Chariots were o'erthrown Together husht in endless Night 7. When Thou whom Earth and Heav'n revere Dost once in wrathful Looks appear What Mortal Pow'r can stand thy sightâ— 8. Pronounc'd from Heav'n Earth heard its Doom Grew husht with Fear when Thou didst come 9. To Judgment and the Meek restore 10. The Wrath of Man shall yield Thee Praise Its proud Reserves but serve to raise The Triumphs of Almighty Pow'r 11. Vow to the Lord ye Nations bring Vow'd Presents to th' eternal King Thus to his Name due Rev'rence pay 12. Who proudest Potentates can quell To Earthly Kings more terrible Than to their trembling Subjects They. PSALM LXXVII 1. TO God I sent my mournful Cry Who graciously did hear 3. In Trouble's dismal Day I sought My God with humble Pray'r All Night my fest'ring Wound did run No Med'cine gave Relief My Soul no Comfort would admit My Soul indulg'd her Grief 3. I thought on God and Favours past But that increas'd my Painâ— I found my Spirit more opprest The more I did complain 4. Through ev'ry watch of tedious Night Thou keep'st my Eyes awake My Grief is swell'd to that Excess I sigh but cannot speak 5. I call to mind the Days of old With signal Mercy crown'd Those famous years of antient Times For Miracles renown'd 6. By Night I recollect my Songs On former Triumphs made Then search consult and ask my Heart Where 's now that wond'rous Aid 7. Has God for ever cast us off Withrawn his Favour quite 8. Are both his Mercy and his Truth Reâ—ir'd to endless Night 9. Can his long-practis'd Love forget Its wonted Aids to bring Has he in Wrath shut up and seal'd His Mercy 's healing Spring 10. I said my Weakness hints these Fears But I 'll my Fears disband I 'll yet remember the most High And Years of his Right-hand 11. I 'll call to mind his Works of old The Wonders of his Might 12. On them my Heart shall meditate My Tongue shall them recite 13. Safe lodg'd from humane Search on high O God thy Counsels are Who is so great a God as Ours Who can with him compare 14. Long since a God of Wonders Thee Thy rescu'd People found 15. Ioseph and Israel's Seed thy Arm With strong Deliv'rance crown'd 16. When Thee O God the Waters saw The frighted Billows shrunk The troubled Depths â—hemselves for Feaâ— Beneath their Channels sunk 17. The Clouds pour'd down while with their Noise The rending Skies conspire Thy Arrows all abroad were sent Wing'd with avenging Fire 18. Heav'n with thy Thunder's Voice was torn Whilst all the lower World With Lightnings blaz'd Earth shook and seem'd From her Foundations hurl'd 19. Thro' rowling Seas Thou find'st thy Way Thy Paths in waters lie Thy wond'rous passage where no Sight Thy Footsteps can descry 20. Thou led'st thy People like a Flock Conducted by the Hand Of Moses and of Aaron safe To Canaan's promis'd Land PSALM LXXVIII 1. HEar O my People to my Law
of high Rank and Birth 9. When Childless Families despair He sends the Comfort of an Heir To rescue their exspiring Fame Grants her that barren was to bear And joyfully her Fruit to rear Praise ye the Lord's almighty Name PSALM CXIV 1. WHen Isr'el by th' Almighty led Enrich'd with their Oppressors Spoil From Egypt march'd and Iacob's Seed From Bondage in a foreign Soil 2. Iehovah for his Residence Chose out imperial Iudah's Tent His Mansion-Royal and from thence Through Israel's Camp his Orders sent 3. The distant Sea with Terrour saw And from th' Almighty's Presence fled Old Iordan's Streams surpriz'd with Aw Retreated to their Fountain's Head 4. The taller Mountains skipp'd like Rams When Danger near the Fold they spy To see their Fright the Hills like Lambs Leap'd after them not knowing why 5. O Sea what made your Tide withdraw And naked leave your oozy Bed Why Iordan â— against Nature's Law Recoil'dst thou to thy Fountain's Head 6. Why Mountains did you skip like Ramsâ— When Danger does approach the Fold Why after you the Hills like Lambs When they their Leaders Flight behold 7. Earth tremble on well may'st thou fear Thy Lord and Maker's Face to see When Iacob's awful God draws near 'T is time for Earth and Seas to flee 8. To flee from God who Nature's Law Repeals and cancels at his Will Who Springs from flinty Rocks can draw And thirsty Vales with Water fill PSALM CXV 1. LOrd not to us we claim no Share But to thy sacred Name Give Glory for thy Mercy 's sake And Truth 's eternal Fame 2. Why should the Heathen cry where 's now The God whom we adore 3. Convince 'em that in Heav'n thou art And uncontroll'd thy Pow'r 4. Their Gods but Gold and Silver are The Work of mortal Hands 5. With speechless Mouth and sightless Eyes The molten Idol stands 6. The Pageant-thing has Ears and Nose But neither hears nor smells 7. Hands Feet but neither feels nor moves No Breath within it dwells 8. Such senseless Stocks that to compare With them we nothing find But those who on their Help rely And them for Gods design'd 9. O Isr'el make the Lord your Trust Who is your Help and Shield 10. Priests Levites trust in him alone Who only Help can yield 11. Let all who fear the Lord for Aid On him they fear rely Who them in Danger can defend And all their Wants supply 12 13. Of us he oft has mindful been And Isr'el's House will bless Priests Levites Proselytes ev'n All Who his great Name confess 14. On you and on your Heirs increase Of Blessings he will bring 15. Thrice happy you who Fav'rites are Of this Almighty King 16. Heav'n's highest Orb of Glory He His Empire 's Seat design'd And gave this lower Globe of Earth A Portion to Mankind 17. They who in Death and Silence sleep To him no Praise afford 18. But we will bless for evermore Our ever-living Lord. PSALM CXVI 1. MY Soul with Ecstasies of Love Intirely is possest Because the Lord has deign'd to hear The Voice of my Request 2. Since he has now his Ear inclin'd I never will despair But while my Life shall last to him Address my humble Pray'râ— 3. With deadly Sorrows compast round With hellish Pangs opprest When Grief and Anguish fill'd my Heart And heav'd my throbbing Breast 4. On God's Almighty Name I call'd And thus to him I pray'd Lord I beseech thee save my Soul With Sorrow quite dismaid 5 6. How just and merciful is God! How gracious is the Lord Who saves the Simple and to me Does timely Help afford 7. Then free from racking Cares my Soul Resume thy wonted Rest For God has wond'rously to thee His bounteous Love exprest 8. He when Death threat'ned soon remov'd My Dangers and my Fears My Feet from falling he secur'd And dry'd my Eyes from Tears 9. The whole remaining Stock of Life Which he to me has lent Shall therefore in his Service be With grateful Duty spent 10 11. In God I trusted and of him In greatest straits did boast For in my Flight all hopes of Aid From faithless Man were lost 12 13. Then what Return to him shall I For all his Goodness makeâ— I 'll praise his Name and with glad Zeal The Cup of Blessing â—ake 14 15. The Vows I made to God I 'll pay In all his People's sight Because by him his Servant's blood Was never counted light 16. Lord by how many Ties must I To thy Obedience bow Before thy humble Handmaid's Son Thy ransom'd Captive now 17 18. To Thee I 'll Off'rings bring of Praise And whilst I bless thy Name The just performance of my Vows To all thy Saints proclaim 19. They in thy holy City met And in thy House shall join With one Consent thy Name to bless And mix their Praise with mine PSALM CXVII 1. WIth cheerful Notes let all the Earth To Heav'n their Voices raise Let all inspir'd with godly Mirth Sing solemn Hymns of Praise 2. God's â—ender Mercy knows no bound His Truth shall ne'er decay Then lâ—t the willing Nations round This grateful Tribute pay PSALM CXVIII 1 2. O Praise the Lord for he is good His Mercies ne'er decay That his kind Favours ever last Let thankful Isr'el say 3 4. Their Sense of his eternal Love Let Aaron's House express And that it never fails let all That fear the Lord confess 5. To God I made my humble Moan With Troubles quite opprest And he releas'd me from my Straits And granted my Request 6. Since therefore God does on my side So graciously appear What Man against me can contrive I never need to fear 7. Since God with those that aid my Cause Himself a Party makes I need not doubt on all my Foes A just Revenge to take 8 9. For better 't is to trust in God And have the Lord our Friend Than on the greatest humane Pow'â— For Safety to depend 10 11. Tho many Nations closely leagu'd Did oft beset me round Yet by his boundless Pow'r sustain'd I did them all confound 12. They swarm'd like Bees and yet their Rage Was but a short-liv'd Blaze For whilst on God I still rely'd I vanquish'd them with Ease 13. When All together press'd me hard In hopes to make me fall The Lord vouchsaf'd to take my part And sav'd me from them all 14. The Honour of my strange Escape To him alone belongs He is my Saviour and my Strength The Theme of all my Songs 15. The Just's Abode resounds with Joy By him preserv'd from Harm For wond'rous things are brought to pass By his almighty Arm. 16. He by his vast resistless Pow'r Has endless Honour won The saving Strength of his Right-hand Amazing Works has done 17. God will not suffer me to fall But yet prolong my Days That by declaring all his Works I may advance his Praise 18. The Lord has chast'ned me in Love And great Afflictions laid But has not giv'n me o'er
take And manly Weapons learn to wield Strong Bows of Steel with ease I break Forc'd by my stronger Arms to yield 35. The Buckler of 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 Till then to narrow Paths confin'd And when in slipp'ry ways â— trod The Method of my Steps design'd 37. Through him I num'rous Foes defeat And flying Squadrons captive make Nor from my fierce Pursuit retreat Till full Revenge of all I take 38. Cover'd with Wounds in vain they try Their vanquish'd Heads again to rear Spight of their boasted Strength they lie Beneath my Feet and grovel there 39. Godâ— when fierce Armies take the field Recruits my Strength my 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 would no Assistance lend 42. Like flying Dust which Winds pursue Their broken Troops were scatter'd round Their baffled Numbers forth I threw Like loathsome Dust that clogs the Ground PART VI. 43. Our Factious Tribes at Strife till now At God's Appointment me obey The Heathen to my Sceptre 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 Battel 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 Revenge my Foes pursues 'T is he that with resistless Might Fierce Nations to my Yoke subdues 48. My universal Safe-guard He From whom my lasting Honours flowâ— 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 raiseâ— 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 Lordâ— Which that alone can fill The Firmament and Stars express Their great Creator's 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 Nature's Voice and understood Alike by all Mankind 4. Their Doctrines sacred Sense itself Through Earth's extent displays Whose bright Contents the circ'ling Sun Around the World conveys 5. No Bridegroom for his Nuptials drest Has such a cheerful Face No Giant does like him rejoice To run his glorious Race 6. From East to West from West to East His restless Circuit goes And through his Progress cheerful Light And vital Warmth bestows PART II. 7. God's perfect Law converts the Soul Reclaims from false Desires With sacred Wisdom his sure Word The Ignorant inspires 8. The Statutes of the Lord are just And bring sincere 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 distil 11. My trusty Counsellours they are And friendly Warnings give Divine Rewards attend on those Who by thy Precepts live 12. But what frail Man observes how ofâ— He does from Vertue fall O cleanse me from my secret Faults Thou God who know'st them all 13. Let no presumptuous Sin O Lord Dominion have o'er me That by thy Grace preserv'd I may The great Trangression flee 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 Iacob'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 cheerfully 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 PSALM XXI 1. THE King O Lord with Songs of Praise Shall in thy Strength rejoice With thy Salvation glad shall raise To Heav'n his cheerful Voice 2. For thou whate'r his Lips request Not only didst impart But hast with thy Acceptance blest The Wishes of his Heart 3. Thy Goodness and thy tender Care Have ev'n his Hope 's out-gone A Crown of Gold thou mak'st him wear And sett'st it firmly on 4. He pray'd for Life and thou O Lord Didst his short span extend And graciously to him afford A Life that ne'er shall end 5. Thy sure Defence to Nations round Has spread his glorious Name And his successful Actions crown'd With Majesty and Fame 6. Eternal Blessings thou bestow'st And mak'st his Joy encrease Whilst thou to him unclouded show'st The Brightnesâ— of thy â—ace PART II. 7. Because the King on God alone For timely Aid relies His Mercy still supports his Throne And all his Needs supplies 8. But righteous Lord thy stubborn Foes Shall feel thy heavy Hand Thy vengeful Arm shall find out those That hate thy mild Command 9. When thou against them dost engage Thy just but dreadful Doom Shall like a glowing Oven's Rage Their Hopes and them consume 10. Nor shall thy furious Anger cease Or with their Ruine end But ravage all their guilty Race And to their Seed descend 11. For all their Thoughts were set on ill Their Hearts on Malice bent Though thou with watchful care didst still The ill Effects prevent 12. In vain by shameful flight they 'll try To scape thy dreaded Might While thy swift Darts shall faâ—ter fly And gaul them in
the Lord Attend with heedful Care Whilst I what God has done for me With grateful Joy declare 17 18. As I before his Aid implor'd So now I praise his Name Who if my Heart had harbour'd Sin Would all my Pray'rs disclaim 19. But God to me whene're I cry'd His gracious Ear did bend And to the Voice of my Request With constant Love attend 20. Then bless'd for ever be my God Who never when I pray With-holds his Mercy from my Soul Nor turns his Face away PSALM LXVII 1. TO bless thy chosen Race In Mercy Lord incline And cause the Brightness of thy Face Upon us all to shine 2. That so thy wond'rous Ways May through the World be known Whilst distant Lands glad Tribute pay And thy Salvation own 3. Let diff'ring Nations join To celebrate thy Fame Let all the World O Lord combine To praise thy glorious Nameâ— 4. O let them shout and sing Dissolv'd in pious Mirth For Thou the righteous Judge and King Shalt govern all the Earth 5. Let diff'ring Nations join To celebrate thy Fame Let all the World O Lord combine To praise thy glorious Name 6. Then shall the teeming Ground A large Encrease disclose And we with Plenty shall abound Which God our God bestows 7. Then God upon our Land Shall constant Blessings shower And all the World in aw shall stand Of his resistless Power PSALM LXVIII 1. LET God the God of Battle rise And scatter his presumptuous Foes Let shameful Rout their Host surprise Who spitefully his Pow'r oppose 2. As Smoak in Tempests Rage is lost Or Wax into the Furnace cast So let their sacrilegious Host Before his wrathful Presence waste 3. But let the Servants of his Will His Favour 's gentle Beams enjoy Their upright Heart let Transports â—ill And chearful Songs their Tongue employâ— 4. To him your Voice in Anthems raise Iehovah's pow'rful Name he bears â—n him rejoice extol his Praise Who rides upon high-rowling Spheres 5. Him from his Empire of the Skies Down down to Earth Compassion draws The Orphan's Claim to patronize And judge the injur'd Widow's Cause 6. 'T is God who from a foreign Soil Restores poor Exiles to their Home Makes Captives free and fruitless Toil Their Proud Oppressors righteous Doomâ— 7. 'T was so of old when thou O God In Person led'st our Armies forth Strange Terrors through the Desart spread 8. Convulsions shook th' astonish'd Earth When Lightning's made the Skies distil And Heav'ns high Arches shook with Fear How then should Sinai's humble Hill Of Israel's God the Presence bear 9. Thy Hand at famisht Earth's Complaint Reliev'd her from celestial Stores And when thy Heritage was faint Refresh'd the Drought with plenteous show'rsâ— 10. Where Salvages had rang'd before At Ease thou mad'st our Tribes reside And in the Desart for the Poor Thy gen'rous Bounty did provide PART II. 11. Thou gav'st the Word we sally'd forth And in that pow'rful Word o'ercame While Virgin-Troops with Songs of Mirth In state our Conquest did proclaim 12. Vast Armies by such Gen'rals led As yet had ne'er receiv'd a Foil Forsook their Camp with sudden Dread And to our Women left the Spoil 13. Tho Egypt's Drudges you have been Your Armies Wings shall shine more bright Than Doves in golden Sun-shine seen Or silver'd o'er with paler Light 14. 'T was so when God's Almighty Hand O'er scatter'd Kings the Conquest won Our Troops drawn up on Iordan's Strand High Salmon's glitt'ring Snow out-shone 15. From thence to Iordan's farther Coast And Bashan's Hill we did advance No more her Height shall Bashan boast But that she 's God's Inheritance 16. But wherefore tho the Honour 's great Should this ye Mountains swell your Pride For Sion is his chosen Seat Where he for ever will reside 17. His Chariots numberless his Pow'rs Are Angel-Hosts that wait his Will His Presence now fills Sion's Tow'rs â—s once iâ— honour'd Sinai's Hill 18. Ascending high in Triumph Thou Captivity hast Captive led And on thy People didst bestow The Spoil of Armies once their Dread Ev'n Rebels shall partake thy Grace And humble Proselytes repair To worship at thy Dwelling-place And all the World pay Homage there 19. For Benefits each Day bestow'd Be daily his great Name ador'd 20. Who is our Saviour and our God Of Life and Death the Sov'reign Lordâ— 21. But Justice for his hard'ned Foes Proportion'd Vengeance has decreed To wound the grizly Head of those Who in presumptuous Crimes proceed 22. The Lord has thus in Thunder spoke As I subdu'd proud Bashan's King Once more I 'll break my People's Yoak And from the Deep my Servant's bring 23. Their Feet shall in a Crimson Flood Of slaughter'd Foes be cover'd o'er Nor Earth receive such impious Blood But leave for Dogs th' unhallow'd Gore PART III. 24. When entring to thy blest Abode The wond'ring Multitude survey'd Thy pompous State my King and God In Robes of Majesty array'dâ— 25. Sweet-singing Levites led the Van Loud Instruments brought up the Rear Between both Troops a Virgin-Train With Voice and Timbrel charm'd the Ear. 26. This was the Burden of their Song In full Assemblies bless the Lord All who to Israel's Tribes belong The God of Israel's Praise record 27. Nor little Benjamin alone From neighb'ring Bounds did there attend Nor only Iudah's nearer Throne Her Counsellours in state did send But Zebulon's remoter Seat And Nephthali's more distant Coast The grand Procession to compleat Sent up their Tribes a Princely Host. 28. Thus God to Strength and Union brought Our Tribes at Strife till that blest Hour This Work which thou O God hast wrought Confirm with fresh Recruits of Pow'r 29. To visit Salem Lord descend And Sion thy terrestrial Throne Where Kings with Presents shall atteâ—d And there with offer'd Crowns atone 30. Break down their Spear-mens Ranks thaâ— threat Like pamper'd Herds of Salvage Might Their Silver-armour'd Chiefs defeat Who in destructive War delight 31. To God shall Egypt then stretch forth Her Hands and Africk Homage bring 32. The scatter'd Kingdoms of the Earth Their common Sovereign's Praises sing 33. Who mounted on the loftiest Sphere Of ancient Heav'n sublimely rides From whence his dreadful Voice we hear Like that of warring Winds and Tides 34. Ascribe ye Pow'r to God most High Of humble Israel he takes Care Whose Strength from out the dusky Sky Darts shining Terrors through the Air. 35. How dreadful are the sacred Courts Where God has fix'd his earthly Throne His Strength his feeble Saints supports To God give Praise and him alone PSALM LXIX 1. SAve me O God from Waves that rowl And press to overwhelm my Soul 2. In Mire my found'ring Foot-steps tread And Deluges o'erflow my Head 3. With restless Cries my Spirits faint My Voice is hoarse with long Complaint My Sight decays with tedious Pain Whilst for my God I wait in vain 4. My Heads unnumber'd Hairs are few Compar'd to Foes that me pursue With groundless Hate grown now of might
