Argument.

Gods speciall and common providence, the creatures vanity, and Gods All-sufficiency to help in hardest times.

[verse 12] THat nation's blest, whose God's the Lord, That people's blest whom he Hath chosen of his own accord, His heritage to be. [verse 13] The Lord looks down from heaven high, Beholding all abroad All mortall mans posterity [verse 14] From place of his abode. In all the earth, and all the parts The dwellers he surveys: [verse 15] Alike he fashioneth their hearts, And all their works he weighs. [verse 16] No num'rous host can save a King, Their corp'rall strength saves none: [verse 17] A horse of save's a meer vain thing, His great strength saves not one; [verse 18] Behold Gods eye tow'rds them set ope That him in rev'rence have. And them that in his mercies hope, [verse 19] Their souls from death to save. To keep alive when death's destroy, [verse 20] Our soul waits for the Lord: He is our help, our shield, our joy, [verse 21] In whom our hearts accord. Because we have put confidence, In his most holy name: [verse 22] The mercy Lord to us dispence, As we hope in the same.
