Thou didst to Jabin's host, 10 At Endor quite cut off, and roll'd So let their princes bleed. 12 For they amidst their pride have said, By right now shall we seize God's houses, and will now invade * Their stately palaces. 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. 40 50 16+ And, till they † yield thee honour due, Lord fill with shame their face. 60 17 Asham'd, and troubled, let them be, Ever confounded, and so die Troubled, and and sham'd for ever; 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. *Neoth Elohim bears both. Heb. 65 + They seek thy name. PSALM LXXXIV. HOW lovely are thy dwellings fair! Where thou dost dwell so near ! 2 My soul doth long and almost die Thy courts, O Lord, to see ; My heart and flesh aloud do cry, O living God, for thee. 3 There ev'n the sparrow, freed from wrong, Hath found a house of rest: The swallow there, to lay her young, Hath built her brooding nest; 5 10 Where thee they ever praise! 5 Happy whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy ways! 6 They pass through Baca's thirsty vale, That dry and barren ground, As through a fruitful wat❜ry dale, Where springs and show'rs abound. 7 They journey on from strength to strength With joy and gladsome cheer, Till all before our God at length In Sion do appear. : 20 25 S Lord God of Hosts, hear now my pray❜r, O Jacob's God, give ear; 30 9 Thou God, our shield, look on the face Of thy anointed dear. 10 For one day in thy courts to be I's better, and more blest, 5 Wilt thou be angry without end, For every angury thus ? Wilt thou thy frowing ire extend From age to age on us? 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, 1 will go straight and hear, For to his people he speaks peace, Aud to his saints full dear, To his dear saints he will speak peace : But let them never more Return to folly, but surcease To trespass as before. 9 Surely to such as do him fear Salvation is at hand ;' And glory shall ere long appear To dwell within our land. 40 10 Mercy and Truth, that long were miss'd, 5 For thou art good, thou, Lord, art prone To pardon, thou to all 15 Art full of mercy, thou alone To them that on thee call. 6 Unto my supplication, Lord, Will call on thee for aid: For thou wilt grant me free access, *Heb. He will set his steps to the way. 20 Heb. I am good, loving, a doer of good and poly things, Vol. III. 53 |
