HYMN 454. Validity of promises, or faith∣fulness of God's Chastisements.
All People, &c.
Psalm 89.30, 31.
IF David's seed my Law forsake,
and do not execute my will:
If they infringe the Laws I make,
and do not my Commands fulfill.
32.
Then will I visit and chastise
their bold transgressions with the rod:
Correcting their Iniquities
with stripes and punishments (saith God)
33.
But of my loving kindness yet
I will not wholly him bereave;
Nor will my faithfulness permit
to fail, and take a final leave.
34.
My Covenant with my faithfull King
I'll not reverse, nor quite eclipse:
Nor will I alter any thing
that I have spoken with my lips.
Psalm 106.48.
Let Israel's God the Lord most high
be ever blest and prais'd therefore:
And let all people magnify
his blessed Name for evermore.
