PSALM CXXVIII.

HAppy he, who God obeys, Nor from his direction strayes: Thou shalt of thy labours feed; All shall to thy wish succeed: Like a fair and fruitful Vine, By thy House, thy Wife shall joyn: Sons, obedient to command, Shall about thy Table stand; Like green plants of Olives, set By the moistning rivulet.

Page 216

He who fears the Power above, Thus shall prosper in his love. God shall thee from Sion bless; Thou shalt joy in the success Which the Lord will Salem give, While thou hast a day to live: Thou shalt see our Israels peace, And thy childrens large increase.
