As the 100 Psalm WHY Lord dost thou so far withdraw And hide thy self in our distress Now that the wicked with such rage And insolence the poor oppress Oh may their ill designs in which They boast so much prove their own fall Who count the Men of Violence Happy tho' God abhorrs them all Such is his Pride he 'll not enquire Whether there be a God or no But carelesly concludes there 's none Or that he cares not what men do To do all Mischief is his work God's Judgments make him not forbear All Men he sets at naught and looks On all his Foes below his fear He foolishly presumes no Change Shall ever happen in his State Nothing disturb his quiet rest Nor any trouble be his fate Nothings amiss that serves his Ends He curses when he means to cheat And hides the mischief he designs By Oaths of falshood and deceit He lurks in secret Coverts where Travellers pass without defence Unseen he spies and murders those Whose only Arms are Innocence Close as a Lion for his prey He waits as cruel to devour As Birds are drawn into the Net He gets the poor into his pow'r Part II.
