PSAL. LXXVII.
Sing this as the Lamentation.
1.
I Cry'd to God with accents shrill;To God that heares my prayer still.
2.
When into times of trouble brought,I unto Him for succour sought.All night my anguish did not cease;My soule no comfort found, nor ease.
3.
I think on God amidst my paines,My vexed spirit to Him complaines.
4.
My sleeples eyes Thou hold'st awake;My tongue perplexed nothing spake.
5.
The daies of old I meditate,The antient times expired date.
6.
I to remembrance call my Song,My wonted mirth, omitted long:All night I commune with my heart,My spirits search to ease my smart.
7.
Will God for ever us reject?Nor by His favour us protect?Is His compassion lost and gone;His promises not thought upon?
descriptionPage 140
9.
Hath God His pitty now forgot?Or must destruction be our lot?Or will His wrath, by sin renew'd,His tender mercies quite exclude?
10.
Thus I complain'd: And then said I,This is mine own infirmity.But I remember will the yearesThy right hand kept from want, or feares.
11.
The wonders which Thou did'st of oldShall with my thankfull tongue be told.
12.
My heart Thy works Shall meditate,My words Thy noble acts relate.
13.
Thy wayes (O God!) most holy are;Who with Thy greatnes may compare?
14.
In miracles, and wond'rous signesThy strength among the People shines.
15.
Thou with that high victorious hand,Not all the Nations could withstand,The Sons of Iacob did'st redeeme;And Iosephs off-spring wilt esteeme.
16.
O God the waters at Thy sightUnto their depths retir'd with fright:The billowes of the troubled maineShrunk downe, and hid themselves againe
17.
The melting cloud discharg'd in showres,Like to a falling tempest powres:
descriptionPage 141
Whilst sounds of horrour teare the sky,And through the aire thine arrowes fly.
18
Loud thunder from the heavens strook,Thy lightnings shone, earths fabrick shook:
19.
In the great waters lyes Thy path,Which where Thou go'st no footsteps hath.
20.
Thy people Thou like sheep ha'st led,Sav'd from the Sea, in deserts fed:And brought'st them to their promis'd land,By Moses and by Aarons hand.
