6 I said that ye were gods, yea all 8 Rise God, judge thou the earth' in might,' Thiswicked' earth redress, For thou art he who shall by right PSALM LXXXIII. 1 BE not thou silent 'now at length, We 2 For lo thy furious' foes'now' swell, And they that hate thee proud and fell' 3 Against thy people they contrive 4 Come let us cut them off, say they, That Israel's name for ever may 5 For they consult with all their might, Themselves against thee they unite, 6 The tents of Edom, and the brood Moab, with them of Hagar's blood, 7 Gebal and Ammon there conspire,' The Philistines, and they of Tyre, 8 With them 'great' Ashur also bands 9 Do to them as to Midian' bold,' That wasted all the coast, To Sisera, and, as is told Thou didst' to Jabin's 'host,' 'When at the brook of Kishon' old. 11 As Zeb and Oreb evil sped, 12 For they amidst their pride' have said, God's houses, and will now invade' 13 My God, oh make them as a wheel, No quiet let them find;' Giddy and restless' let them reel' Like stubble from the wind. 14 As' when' an 'aged' wood takes fire The greedy' flame runs higher and higher 15 So with thy whirlwind them pursue, 17 Ashamed, and troubled let them be, With shame,' and' scape it never. 18 Then shall they know, that Thou, whose name Jehovah is alone, Art the Most High, and Thou the same' O'er all the earth'art One.' PSALM LXXXIV. 1 How lovely are thy dwellings fair! 'Where thou dost dwell so near!' 2 My soul doth long and almost die 3 There even the sparrow freed from wrong' Hath found a house of rest;' The swallow there, to lay her young Hath built her brooding' nest, Even by thy altars, Lord of Hosts, 4 Happy, who in thy house reside, 5 Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy ways. 6 They pass through Baca's 'thirsty' vale, 7 They journey on from strength to strength With joy and gladsome cheer, Till' all before' our' God at length' In Zion do appear. 8 Lord God of Hosts hear now' my prayer, O Jacob's God give ear, 9 Thou God our shield look on the face Of thy anointed 'dear.' 10 For one day in thy courts 'to be' 6 Is better, and more blest,' Than in the joys of vanity' A thousand days' at best.' I in the temple of my God, Than dwell in tents, and rich abode,' 11 For God the Lord both sun and shield No good from them shall be withheld 6 12 Lord God' of Hosts that reign'st on high,' 1 THY land to favour graciously 2 The iniquity thou didst forgive And all their sin, that did thee grieve,' 3 Thine anger all thou hadst removed, From thy fierce wrath which we had proved 4 God of our saving health and peace, Thine indignation cause to cease 5 Wilt thou be angry without end, Wilt thou thy frowning ire extend 6 Wilt thou not turn, and hear our voice.' And us again revive, That so thy people may rejoice By thee preserv'd alive. 7 Cause us to see thy goodness, Lord, To us thy mercy shew, Thy saving health to us afford, ، And life in us renew.' 8 And now what God the Lord will speak' To his dear saints he will speak peace, Return to folly, 'but surcease 9 Surely to such as do him fear And glory shall'ere long appear 10 Mercy and Truth that long were miss'd,' Now joyfully' are met, 'Sweet' Peace and Righteousness have kiss'd, And hand in hand are set. 11 Truth from the earth, like to a flower, 12 The Lord will also then bestow Our land shall forth in plenty throw 13 Before him Righteousness shall go Then will he come, and not be slow, PSALM LXXXVI. 1 THY gracious' ear, O Lord, incline, For I am poor, and almost pine 2 Preserve my soul, for I have trod 3 Pity me, Lord, for daily thee 4 I call; O make rejoice. Thy servant's soul; for Lord to thee I lift my soul and voice.' 5 For thou art good, thou Lord art prone Art full of mercy, thou' alone' 6 Unto my supplication, Lord, |
