HYMN 543. Onsets upon Israel, or the Plow∣ers defeated.
Psalm 129. (1. METRE.)
EVEN from my tender infancy,many a time have they [verse 2] Afflicted me from infancy,may Israel now say.
Many a time have they set onwith all their spight and power:Yet have they fail'd and not prevail'dagainst me, to this hour.
[verse 3] The Plowers plow'd upon my back,long furrows did they make: [verse 4] The righteous Lord hath cut their cord,Yea, all their cords he brake.
[verse 5] And let them be confounded all,turn'd back in their design;And put to flight that Sion spight,and bear ill will to thine.
descriptionPage 657
[verse 6] Let them be made like to the Cornupon the houses top:Which gets no height but withers straightbefore it comes to crop.
[verse 7] Which neve•• fills the Reapers hand,nor his that comes ••ehind,To pluck and pull a bosome fullfor sheaves and bands to bind.
Concerning which, the passengersno benediction frame:Nor never say along the Way,we bless you in God's Name.
