PSALM XX.
THe Lord in thy AdversityRegard thy cy;Great Iacobs God with Safety arm,And shield from harm:Help from his Sanctuary send,And out of Sion thee defend.
Thy Odors, which pure flames consume,Be his Perfume:May he accept thy Sacrifice,Fir'd from the Skies.For ever thy indeavours bless;And crown thy Counsels with success.
We will of thy Deliverance sing,Triumphant King:Our Ensigns in that pray'd••for DayWith Joy display;Even in the Name of God. O stillMay he thy just Desires fulfil!
descriptionPage 34
Now know I his Anointed HeWill hear, and free;With saving Hand and Mighty Power,From his high Tower.These trust in Horse; in Chariots those;Our trust we in our God repose.
Their wounded limbs with anguish bend,To Death descend:But we in fervour of the fightHave stood upright.O save us, Lord; thy Suppliants hear:And in our aid, Great King, appear.
