[verse 4] And he shall judge those people then, that worldly comforts lack, And he shall save poor needy men, and break th' oppressors back. [verse 5] Then shall they fear thee to be sure, the people great and small, So long as Sun and Moon endure, to Generations all.
[verse 6] He shall descend as rain pour'd forth▪ upon the mowen Grass, As show'rs that water all the earth, whatever way they pass. [verse 7] The Just shall flourish in his time, and great the peace shall be: Untill the Moon surcease to shine, Amen, Amen, say we.
