HYMN 313. Arraignment of Persecutors and their ruin.

Psal. 7.14.

BEhold, how with iniquity
the wicked is in pain:
Conceiving mischief craftily,
and labours all in vain.

 [verse 15]  He made a pit, and digged it,
no pains at all he spar'd:
And now is fall'n into the pit▪
which he himself prepar'd.

 [verse 16]  Upon his own unhappy crown
his mischief shall be spread:
His violent dealing shall come down,
and light on his own head.
 [verse 17]  But I his justice will proclaim
that judgeth righteously,
And with a Song, will praise the Name
of him that is most high.
