PSAL. XCIV. (Book 94)
1.
O God! who just revenge dost take,Now let Thy vengeance wake.
2.
Great Judge of earth arise, from henceThe proud to recompence.
3.
How long (Lord) shall their wicked host,How long triumph and boast?
4.
How long shall their insulting tongueJoy in Thy servants wrong?
5.
They break Thy people (Lord) in rage,Afflict Thine heritage.
6.
They widowes slay, the poor oppress,And kill the fatherless.
7.
Yet hard'ned in presumption, they,The Lord not sees us, say;Great Iacobs God doth not regard,Nor will the sin reward.
8.
Take heed yee brutish and unwise,Who thus your crimes disguise.
descriptionPage 177
Yee foolish people of the land,When will yee understand?
9.
Think ye, that he who plants the eareUnable is to heare?Or shall not he, who form'd the eye,Your wickednes descry?
10.
Shall he, who Nations overthrew,Not know to punish you?
11.
To whose all-searching view is brought▪The vainnes of mans thought.
12.
Blessed, (O Lord) and happy he,Who chast'ned is by Thee;Whom Thou in mercy do'st correct,And in Thy Law direct.
13.
That though with crosses over-prest,He may in patience rest,Till for transgressors ruin heA pit prepared see.
14.
For God his people not rejects,Nor his own choise neglects:
15.
But judgement all their wrongs shall right,And comfort the upright.
16.
Who will with me against those rise,Who work iniquities?
17.
But, from the Lord my help was seen,My soule had silenc'd been.
descriptionPage 174
18.
When I, my slipping foot, complain'd,Thy mercy me sustain'd,
19.
When thoughts my grieved soul excite,Thy comforts hir delight.
20.
Wilt Thou support the wicked's throne,Or joyne it with Thine owne?Who, under Laws, and Reason's name,Their acts of mischief frame.
21.
Whose meetings, and whose plots are bent,The just to circumvent.Who fit in Counsaile, soules to kill,And guiltles blood to spill.
22.
But yet the Lord is my defense,God is my confidence;My Rock, my refuge, and my tow'r,To save me by His pow'r.
23.
He on their heads the ills shall bringWhich from themselves did spring.And in their sins God's vengfull handShall cut them from the land.
