Psalm 104.20.
THOU makest darkness o're the Earth,
and darkness makes the night:
And then the Forest-beasts creep forth
whom day-time did affright.
[verse 21] Young Lyons roaring for their prey
of God do seek their meat:
[verse 22] The Sun ariseth, then do they
together make retreat.
In secret Dens they closely lurk,
[verse 23] and then doth man begin
To set upon and ply his work,
till evening calls him in.
Let Israel•s God the Lord most high
be magnifi'd therefore,
From time to time eternally
henceforth for evermore.
